I am back from the Mahikari youth jamboree in Canberra, after spending the Easter long weekend over there. At first, I was dreading it...but then, I thought the great time I spent there last Easter, and I started to look forward to it.
Now, I am feeling physically exhausted and I'm now concentrating on relaxing and resting my body over the next few days. Yes, now is not the time to be doing work or studying, but time to watch tv, play the piano and read a book. After all it's the holidays!!!!!! :D I do hope that I will be able to have a productive two-week holiday for school. By that, I mean doing assignments, going out and studying for half-yearly exams!!
its BEEN AGES since i've been on xanga!! like TWO MONTHS!!??
school is so busy!! so much work to do....a work-filled week has just ended.....really a lot of work this week..i am glad its over and now i can relax.....lots of assignments and assessments this year though which will make me quite loaded with work!
but only two more school weeks to go then first term's over!!! Wow time really flies!!!!! One quarter of the school year is nearly finished??? I think i still cannot believe I am in year10! As in, I keep thinking I'm not, but then I have to think again...
Years are going by so fast....next thing i know, i would have finished school... now is the time to play some online gamess...:D i've started playing texas holdem poker, big 2 and scrabble online! Quite fun and good for your brain I must say!
we are in our new house now! :D Wow, the last two weeks have gone by so fast..and I am beginning to grow an attachment to this house..but it has also been very hectic, with so many things around and we have no idea where to put them. But, we just have to take our time and sort everything out, then I think it will be alright. It is starting to look like cleaner and tidier now.
Oh no, school's starting in just eight days now!!!!!! NOOOOOOO.....I had a few days, about three weeks ago, when I actually wanted to go to school because I was so fed up with all the moving and moving and moving.....BUT, now I don't feel like going to school because the holidays have gone by too quickly and I still haven't done some of the things I wanted to do, like to go to the city.
But I think we are going on Friday :D and also YiFen will probably come and stay with us this weekend as well. (CNY weekend) Bye bye holidays....before you know it I'll be back in schoool. :(
once again, we're back to moving.......... this time back to St Ives- bye bye to Waitara..
It's been nine months since we've moved in....... and it feels soo sad to leave Waitara.......even though were only here for hardly a year, i think we grew a very strong attachment to this place.....and it will be so hard to not forget living here We have had all the good times of 2008 here.........birthdays, christmas.....and also studying, playing piano, cooking in the small kitchen, walking to the shopping centre, walking to the train station, taking the lift, things like that....... so sad .......
but on the bright side: we have a new house to move in to.......where we will have many more years of memories to create....but saying goodbye to Waitara and to our old house seems so hard because we will never experience all those good times..
it is the first day of 2009! i realised a few days ago that 2009 is the last year of this decade....and what a decade it has been!! .....The first decade of the second millennium since 0 AD..wow
The fireworks last night in Sydney were quite nice to watch on the tv, but it would've been soo much better if we were actually watching them, but we didn't feel like driving anywhere there city-considering how busy we have been. Here are some photos of the fireworks I got from the Sydney Morning Herald website:
there are only four and a half hours left of 2008......then it'll be 2009! I think this year has been a great year! I feel that it has been an extremely eventful year in all aspects of my life..........the biggest of all is definitely the construction of our new home, followed by the holidays to Victoria and South Australia and of course, Singapore (which is most probably my last trip there for maybe- forever?). It was kk's last year at school and also the year when he did his HSC. I think a lot has happened in my life apart from all these highlights, and I hope next year will be as exciting, busy and interesting as this year turned out to be!
but, i didn't feel all that happy on the last day of school. In fact, after i left school, i felt sad that school had ended........all the routines just stopped!! It was so sad too because it was my last train ride to school......... ..but on the other side of things, it is after all the holidays! Holidays=school free days! Yay! The weekend that has just passed was great as well!!
So many things happened...... the most important : AUNTY PAT a.k.a. paddypoo LEFT FOR SHANGHAI!!!!! sob sob sob sob no more going to her place, or meeting with her for dinner.....once again we are relative-less in Sydney and right where we were two years ago before she moved to sydney.. but the last two days with her were the best! On friday, she came over and stayed with us for her last night in Sydney......I taught her a card game that I had played all day in school...it was fun...a real heart-attacking game! On saturday, we had a big breakfast at Wahroonga, then we saw our house, then me and kk followed paddypoo to her place for a final cleanup. I helped her vacuum her place, but her friend's vacuum cleaner wasn't very effective: it was funny when paddypoo made fun of that! hahahahahha Oh yeah, after that she brought us to the golf driving range and I hit my first golf ball!! I hit it right near to the 100m mark, kk hit much further.....paddypoo says we are natural golf player....but hmm..who knows? Well, all good things have to end, and this one surely did....we sadly farewelled her at the airport in the evening and drove back paddypoo-less...
I hope she visits us annually, but I hope she has a great time in Shanghai!
I'm feeling sad now. This year is all over now.........and today will be my last time walking to the station and taking the train and catching the bus to school from Waitara.....thinking about it being my last time, I feel so sad... There was basically no-one at school yesterday, and so today will be even worse, oh well it's fun when there's no one at school and only your friends....haha the teachers don't even care about you at one point during the day, they just have a staff party....so we get to go wherever we like ..hehee
two days left.. It's thursday morning, but it feels like friday morning already!! Wow, these last two weeks of school are taking sooooo long to pass, well at least feels like it is......... korkor got his HSC (a levels) results yesterday morning! He got four band 6's and two band 5's! That's really good! Today, he'll get his UAI (University Admittance Index).....I wonder what he'll get..hmm Oh yeah, we're not moving back until early Jan...so at least we'll spend christmas and new year in our flat here! :D
the year passing so fast....this one is nearlyyy over and another one is on its way.........
