[day 1]

Hey we survived last night.. My dad heated up the spaghetti sauce and we had it with potato and coke.. I felt kinda sick this morning.. blehhhh French was boring.. we're going onto the next chapter which does NOT have a speaking test or a project...thank god...It's either we have another unit before the final.. or the next thing IS the final..Had my problem solving math test after that and it took me a while.. never taken that long on a math test before.. It's monday and we usually have a meeting with Mr Nguyen for the video project to keep him updated.. no one showed.. so we just told him that David's thinking of making it a final end of the year broadcast..like a big thing.. we were gonna show it eithr Friday or today.. but last week was really busy with the elections and the athletics banquet so David had to put that aside for a while.. After that we were on the "bridge" eating lunch and David decides to show up.. he talked to us and i was like "there was a meeting" and he's like no there wasn't.. he's like you don't have to have meetings anymore..coz everythings under control.. hehe.. he left to do his chemistry.. and we went to the library.. had to work on my science.. .hmmm i have a "test" for drafting.. or rather.. a final project..we have to design a house.. or.. a floor plan of a house...
-6pm-
my dad said he called Singapore today and said that my mom and sister were walking around and round and round the Japan airport.. lol and that their landing in Singapore was a really bumpy one and Joey swore she'd never take another plane ride... lol..our ride better not be a bad one!! Well they've reached Singapore and it's morning now so i'm guessing either out for breakfast, unpacking.. Joey's prob playing with Snowball, Mindy and Dusty.. hmm to play badminton on Sunday or not.. Thinking of watching movies on Sunday.. Harry Potter and Shrek 2.. Badminton on Weds!! Mr Slade better be there!! Or else we'll get good ol' mr pocock again.. he supervises any team.. good eh?? omg at lunch, Diane and I were eating.. and lily and krissy left to practice some play.. and then went to the library and Diane was like laughing like spongebob.. i was like errrr ok...

[Athletics Banquet]

hmm fun night tonight.. just got back from school.. yeh at 10.. Lily and I got there pretty early...desserts were like "gourmet" cakes.. well yeh pretty rich chocolate.. and nanaimo bars and fruit salad.. just a little bit of it and it sits in your stomach like a rock.. We spent an hour talking.. Jenny was with us and she was like I'm gonna be a loner with you guys.. lol loner trio.. tho loner and trio don't exactly go together.. Really long presentation.. Robert Esmie was there.. his nickname "Blast Off".. he's a runner.. talked to us about having fun in games and determination and skill and all that.. Had draws for prizes.. David was the first person to win something... a sweater..Jensen got a basketball.. hmm how does that click? harhar..awards went by really slowly.. We had to go up on stage to like support the team.. didn't get an award but hey.. we supported our team.. and this year did a really good job.. well no award but i got my name called.. lol yeh for Me and Jensen getting 4th place in the Surreys for mix.. 5th in Lower Frasers.. and 4th in Fraser Valleys.. pretty good..Ms Robinson showed a power point presentation.. and awh of course Jr Badminton photos were from me and Lily.. Sr badminton photos were funny looking..hehe..hmm tho Ms Robinson only put up a few..there were so many to choose from.. Mr Slade was talking to us after the presentation and he said that his son's gonna be in high school next year... [hmm if he has only 2 kids and that's his only son.. his son is REALLY small..] anyway.. Mr Slade said that his son's going to a school in Delta.. and they're thinking of having a badminton club so that we can play before the season starts and seniors can play while their seasons going and it would give them more practice.. sounds good.. i hope they start the club.. so first semester will be fun..lol. and we get our practice before the season starts.. i don't think we're gonna be a very strong team next season.. 3 of our grade 10's move up to senior which makes the senior team strong..Jason, Cody and Jun.. so now our strong players are Jensen, Keli [who isn't very fast]..hmm who else.. possibly Brad.. hmm who else.. lol we were talking and David stepped into our convo and a few seconds later he raises his hand and goes " i know it's a bit into the convo but may i ask what we're talking about?" hehe.. well fun night.. gotta go memorize a speaking test for french first thing tmr morning.. Mme Waterton better move it up to Monday.. PULEASE move the test up to Monday.. having the banquet and a test that you have to memorize the next day ain't good..

Had double block of French first thing in the morning.. had our unit test and listening test..Andrew was like sticking post its on people's back.. like "Kick me" "Punch me" "Boot me".... he put some on my back and Ming was like Jamie, Andrew's sticking stuff on your back.. I was like Andrew you're so mean!! Speaking test on Friday!!! ahh!! Math test on Friday too.. eep..Played badminton at lunch.. tho it was kinda crowded.. jeez so many people.. seniors had one court..bout 7 of them to a court.. harry has a sprained ankle so he wasn't playing much.. he just tried to get the shots..amazing he still wants to play.. i guess i would too..Ivan and Kevin and Steven were rotating on and off our court.. sigh.. Wanta should have just played with us.. but she went to play with Steven i think.. they keep coming onto our court.. so annoying.. just get off the court!! no court, can't play!! They don't even play badminton.. they're way better at basketball.. they're like basketball people.. i don't mind if they want to play.. i mean i'd like it if someone let me play badminton when i wanted.. but they were all over our court..Rushed to science after that.. i didn't even hear the bell ring.. had a quiz.. i totally bombed it..Jeff and I work really well together.. heh he's supposed to be working with Alice.. but Alice doesn't talk to him and I'm supposed to work with Casey but he doesn't talk at all.. So Jeff switched places with Alice...He really finds my water bottle amusing.. it's just a blue metal water bottle and he's like it's for gasoline!!! At break i went down to the art room as usual to see what diane was doing.. and I helped her mix some paint up which didn't really work coz i didn't have enough time and had to rush back upstairs.. Mr Devereaux's really mean about being late.. but he's usually the one late.. sigh.. played badminton after school.. David came by this time..I was in the gym finishing off my science and then Lily came and then Harry.. I was waiting and waiting and waiting.. some guys came to play basketball.. Mr Slade wasn't there!!!! Lily went to look for him in the PE office and he wasn't there!! He went home!! He said there was badminton!!!! David, Diane, Lily and I ran around the school looking for Mr Nguyen and Mr Pocock.. Found Mr Nguyen but he said he couldn't supervise coz he had some dinner which he had to cook up.. i was like you can't have guests on Wednesday!! and he was like why? heh.. then went to the portables to look for Mr Pocock.. and he wasn't there... but his light was on.. David was like turn it off.. wasting energy.. heh... Walked back to the gym and Harry came out saying that Mr Pocock was already there and he opened the doors.. well at least we got to play.. it was pretty good i guess...harry got Lily and I to practice rallying.. still gotta get that going.. my elbow hurts now... too many clears??? David left to go put up some posters.. He's running for Grade 12 rep.. when he came back I played with Lily doubles.. vs David and Diane.. kinda screwed up.. lol.. coz Diane keeps moving around the court and David's like ahhh..and when David was serving, Diane isn't used to playing mix so she has her racket up.. i was just about to yell diane your racket and david served and it bounced off her racket.. lol david was like sigh..i think diane said David hit her in the hip.. lol that was funny.. then hit her with the bird?? and he was like kneeling down on one knee and handed it to her.. lol we lost.. -_-" and then switched sides and Harry was like did you win?? but no we didn't.. 15-10.. well 5 points..Second game i don't remember if we played til the end.. i don't think we did..Harry kicked Diane off.. aww.. lol.. he tapped her on the head with the racket and she was like noooooo.. and she like pushed towards him.. and then harry just stood there and she like whacked him on the shoulder and he was like ow.. and he remained on the court and she like whacked him again on the elbow.. and ouch.. frame hit his bone.. sigh.. now he has a bruised elbow and sprained ankle.. lol.. racket hand too..but.. he sitll wants to play of course.. hehe.. I played mix with David and Lily played with Harry...hmm i guess it was an ok game.. made a lot of mistakes..but made a lot of good shots.. heh... David was like "whoa jamie.. you're always on the balls of your feet" =)... lol Lily was like.. too much pressure playing with guys coz they're scary.. I was like these guys aren't scary.. you want scary.. jensen's scary..David was like don't worry i'm a nice guy.. I don't think we got to finish that game either.. fun game.. Lily called her dad.. and she said something about her sister picking up and saying that her mom's gonna pick her up but then her mom didn't come and her dad was coming??? We were waiting on the bench outside the gym and David was waiting with us.. sigh we were supposed to start memorising the french.. but we didn't get to it.. ah well.. i finished typing it up.. just need to print it out.. OMG Lily and her dad came to our house and hoping that they can get the dog.. and you know what!??!!?!? THE OWNERS CAME!!! AHHHHHH from what i heard a lot of people called...some people not even close by.. well these korean people who live in that cul de sac next to the playground own her.. sigh.. why them??!?! I always see them outside playing and they're little kids.. the oldest is only in grade 2.. and they don't speak fluent english so i think that was why they couldn't read the signs???? or something?? BUT WHY ARE THEY SO IRRESPONSIBLE!?!?! My mom asked the mom why they didn't have her on a leash and she was like "it happens all the time" i was like arhh you don't frigin lose that dog again!! and you better take good care of her!! and GET A LEASH!!! If they lose that dog again and it runs into our cul de sac.. or if it even makes it to our cul de sac.. i'm gonna kill them.. and they aren't taking the dog back!! My mom was like trying to explain to her.. and she said that that lady thought my mom was mad and she like called her husband and spoke in korean like "mad woman!! mad woman!!" sigh no reason not to be.. it's a puppy she lost!! what if she got run over by a car?!?! she doesn't deserve that.. or what if she got attacked by some other dog..and you know what the really sad thing is... you know what they named the puppy..sigh the most embarrasing name to give a dog.. BARBIE.. oh my frigin god.. give the dog a nice name... not barbie!!! she's definately not a barbie.. we were joking.. we're like so that's why she answers to names like FIFI [fee-fee].. I mean even Oreo and Buddy and Tally were better than Barbie.. ah well.. best forget about her.. unless she gets lost again.. i wanna see her again tho.. i don't, can't walk by the short cut anymore.. they blocked it off..omg.. jr told me and krissy that tmr.. he's having his promo. and he's gonna give out Dentyne Ice.. like those packs of like 10.. that's crazy. he got 500 of those!!!!!! Talk about RICH... and also Suckers and Chocolate.. this guy's crazy... he's like what.. buying his way in??? he'd make a good business man.. all the ink he used for printin the book marks which some people threw away and ripped apart.. all the time and effort he put into the posters and his pictures....phew.. he even wears a sash with his name Junior Tu on it..

[project after project after project]

When i walked into school today, Junior, Jason, Grace and David were standing in front of me.. i was like hmm? and Junior hands me a book mark like thing.. says vote for me = vote for yourself.... he really wants to be voted president.and i think he will be..he's the only one who puts his photos on posters all over the school..and took the time to print all those "bookmarks".. Block order was CDAB and i didn't know until the bell rang and lily asked where i was going.. heh.. we had to present our project!!!! the really embarassing "sports" video..it wasn't even really like an exciting sport like.. ah well we did better than a lot of people.. so we're good.. i think Wanta said we got around 17 or 18 out of 20... i guess that's pretty good.. we should have put in the clips.. darn...Math was really really boring.. Mr Huzyk's voice DOES make you fall asleep..I wasn't sure if there was a meeting.. i asked David last night whether there was but he said there wasn't.. and this morning Krissy said that he sent out emails saying that we are gonna have to do a lot of work this week.. coz of the Athletics Banquet and the Hawaiian day and the 1st Annual Barbeque... I wonder if we should go to that.. I told Doni about the dog and she said she doesn't mind keeping the dog.. coz her family was thinking of getting another dog.. they already have 2.. but she said they are dog lovers.. meaning her family.. so i don't mind giving her the dog.. i think she's the best person to give the dog to now.. sigh.. this is so hard..and she doesn't live far too.. She also said she might know someone who lost a Bichon? I don't know what breed this dog is tho..i'm done my assignments in drafting!!.. Now all i need to worry about is the French Unit Test which Mme Waterton did NOT tell us about til today.. and our speaking test for friday which i have to write tmr after school with lily.. ooo and the math test.. i think.. on Friday
-4:10pm-
I got Doni to come over after school.. I was talking to her outside.. and I told her about the dog.. she said that she may know someone who lost their dog.. but she isn't sure what kind.. So she came over and she says this dog's prob a mix Schitzu and something else.. She was guessing Bichon Frise...hmm not sure..She loves dogs and she's so perfect for this one.. She left and then called 5 mins after to ask whether her dad can come see "Buddy" [who is now named Oreo coz of the Black and White].. they came back and brought Doolie... Her Maltese..so cute.. My dad was talking to her dad about "Oreo" and coz we already reported this to the SPCA.. Doni's dad doesn't want to take her.. coz what if they do and someone calls up looking for the dog.. that would mean they have to hand the dog back to the original owners.. but i don't think that should be right.. i mean.. the owners took so long to find the dog.. if they were more responsible they wouldn't have lost her in the first place...so sad.. sigh.. well i kinda wish Doni could have taken her.. right now i'm wishing we could keep her.. the only problem is training her.. and that's the same with all puppies.. when we go away Vivien can help look after her.. coz they have a Silky Terrier.. lol named Handsome.. "Shuai Ge"...Joey was giving my dad a pathetic can we keep her face.. sigh..
This is the Personality Disorder Test that Troy gave me yesterday
-9:20pm-
awwwww!!!! I went to cut an apple and cut 2 small cubes for the dog and Joey's crying.. so sad.... i guess right now the best thing to do is give the dog to Lily.. it's the only thing we can do.. just gotta make sure that Doni's friend isn't the owner..

Aww.. ok the owners [if there are any] still have not claimed the dog.. No one's put up signs.. No one's called. It's so sad... this poor puppy came from somewhere... but where.. it got abandoned..my mom keeps telling every single person who sees it to have it.. and no one can take her.. and now so many people want her.. sigh.. never ask so many people.. there's one dog.. but it's so hard for me to decide who to give her to.. Diane wants it.. but she doesn't have a stable place to stay at the moment.. coz she may be moving out soon.. Lily wants the dog.. she said that her dad used to have a dog.. Sylvia wants it and she has another dog.. and i feel more comfortable giving the dog to someone who has experience..yeh we all gotta start somewhere.. but... aw i wanna keep her.. but we can't.. sigh.. it IS a LIVE animal.. just giving it to someone who hasn't had any experience isn't gonna work...
-10:40pm-
awwwww i just came upstairs from playing with the dog.. and it took me so long to leave.. so sad.. she was like crying when Joey and my mom left.. and she put her head on the door step.. i feel like crying. and when i had to leave.. she scratched on the door and yelped!!! omg.. =(

Eunice just knocked on our door.. the garage door too.. she's like JOEY CAN I PLAY WITH YOUR DOG... it's not even our dog.. she can't just keep coming in when she wants to play with it.. i should have pretended i wasn't there.. but i wasn't sure who it was.. Joey said to ignore her.. coz she can't just come and expect us to let her in..
-5:50pm-
whoa so hot!!! I went out to play tennis with diane and lily.. i was waiting outside the courts watching the other people play.. i decided not to walk up this time.. and thank god for that.. i was sitting there.. and sitting and sitting.. for a good 10 mins.. and then my cel phone rings and i was like hmmm.. ok don't tell me diane got lost again.. i answer and there's diane yelling down the phone.. she's like "Jaymay where are you!! Julians here!!" and i was like where are you.. she said tennis courts.. but i was at the tennis courts and she wasn't.. then she walks around the corner and yells at me.. i was like ahh.. she can yell so loud.. lol Julian was riding his bike and diane borrowed his cel..i guess it was fun..both courts were taken..so we played along the side.. not good!! ball flew out a few times.. lost one ball in the drain.. and it smells.. blehhh after that we walked to get a slushie and then walked to my place to see the dog coz EVERYONE wants to see her.. Julian came along..lol they were in the backyard and I have to admit.. Julian is really really good with kids.. Joey's friend, Peter was there and so was Hayley.. and they were all yelling at him and he's just yelling back.. lol diane and lily were petting buddy and we look up at Julian and you see him acting weird.. real weird [lol Julian! you should come over more to babysit!!]...Lily's dad came to pick her up.. then after Diane's mom and sister came to see the dog.. Lily said her dad will let her keep buddy!! at least someone i know has the dog..

[getting attached.... too attached]

The dog has officially been named "Buddy"... that's what Joey calls her.. I had to go out at 10 to play badminton in Richmond... it was pretty good.. the gym's like a warehouse.. it's all green the walls are green the ground is green the courts are lined white.. and it's all rubbery so you'll def not slip.. the nets are good.. lighting's pretty good.. and you can see the bird easily.. hmm i haven't played with these people in a while.. i guess i have improved a bit..My uncle asked if i'm interested in getting professional training with the coach there.. it would be good if i got good training..maybe i'll ask if we can have a course in pairs.. so Lily and I can get ready for our doubles.. if we ARE playing next year..I tested out a few rackets.. i think that's the reason i got blisters.. i never get blisters.. i tried out about 4 rackets.. got my mind set on a Muscle Power 99.. 3U G4... i think it was G4.. joey's like carrying that dog everywhere.. i was in my room and i looked out the window.. Eunice came back from somewhere and she walked in the direction of our house so i was like ok.. Eunice is coming to see the dog.. i bet if we get a dog, she'll be here everyday.. so annoying..she's the kind of girl who gets on your nerves.. not by like running around and making a lot of noise.. but by not listening.. ok say she's walking somewhere... i'd be like "eunice... eunice!... EUNICE... EUNICE!!!" and she won't listen to me.. you just feel like slapping her.. i heard Jame's dog got lost.. Fifty.. they named it fifty.. Sam said that Eunice was the one who lost her.. Eunice goes up there everday! i'd be like NO EUNICE YOU CAN"T COME SEE THE DOG! and she's so weird.. she comes into our garage and asks for ice cream.. i mean i'm not made out of ice cream i can't just give her something.. ok once.. i came home from school and i got a twizzler and she was eating a popsicle and saw me.. and she was like can i have one? she was in our backyard and i just came out to see where my mom was and then go up to my room and she's asking me for one.. i didn't offer any to her.. she just gets on my nerves. and my mom said to give her one..sigh.. Eunice is prob still in our garage now and prob WILL be here until we have to leave.. i went out with my mom to put up more signs and i saw the gerbers.. heh..hmm they live around here??
-11:10pm-
Just got back from Sa Ee Tiao Kong's "b-day dinner".. At Kirin.. Kirin.. yeh Kirin.. seafood.. blechhhhhh.. lol Siong Ee, Siong Chin and Uncle SH got a cake.. and reserved the restaurant and when i looked at the SPECIAL 10 course menu.. it was like 400 over $$$.. like WHOA..i guess it was ok.. lol they were gonna have the cake brought out when the desserts were served.. but the table next to us had their desserts before we did and they just HAPPEN to have a birthday and they're like all singing happy birthday.. all of us are like laughing...a few minutes after they're done.. our cake comes out and we start singing happy birthday.. OMG the waiters!!! they sing with us and it's hilarious.. about 5 of them sing.. it's soooo funny the way they sing.. "HAWPEE BARTHDAY TDOO YOOOO" LOL.. Joey and I were in the car and we were talking about it and we imitated them. and my mom couldn't stop laughing... ok.. so we think it's a coincidence that there are 2 birthdays.. a while after ours is done.. the table in front of us starts singing happy birthday...hmm.. ah well.. for my granduncles birthday my parents got him a bonsai kit which they put together.. a bonsai pot, bonsai plant, bonsai dirt, bonsai hand book....

[french project.... ]

Lily came over after school today to work on our french project.. the one which we have been procrastinating for a week now..We are currently on our sports unit and we have to do a sports news thing..Lily and I didn't want to present it infront of the class so we decided to film it.. we borrowed my dad's camera and set it up on a tripod in the guest room.. pulled the table out a bit and put two chairs behind.. on the wall behind us we had our logo pasted..we had to print and cut the words out.. then complete the script.. took about 2 hours coz at the beginning we were still chatting on msn.. hehe.. slackers.. anyway.. we got SOME work done.. omg it took us forever to get it going... practiced it a few times and it was pretty fluent.. so we decided to start.. but near fluent wasn't good enough.. lol i kept laughing.. we must have filmed it a WHOLE lot of times.. if it wasn't me laughing or screwing up.. lily was rolling her eyes and flicking her hair.. lol lily!! we filmed it twice.. like good ones.. so we should be ok.. tho.. it's not very exciting.. lol it's like serious.. CNN!! lol.. ah well, we'll add some clips and it should be pretty good for grade 9s... being an actor would be cool.. but... newsbroadcaster??? staring at a camera.. scary.. i like forget my lines.. ah well.. it's all done.. now it's all editing.. so we're good.. just the presenting part.. i'll just sit back and hide my face in my book...next thing to worry about.. speaking test.. sigh..we aren't even on the next unit.. activities or something? and today Mme Waterton wasn't here.. had Mr Trehearn again.. and he's a japanese teacher... doesn't know french at all.. well for today.. no more work!! Sleeping over at dianes later on..

This morning, in science we had a lab to do.. had to draw the planets and stick them on a long 8 metre long strip of paper... took us a while.. Jeff and I were like trying to measure the paper.. and the felts didn't work properly...so it took us a while to colour Jupiter..heh..Drafting was crazy.. i'm not even done drawing my pictures and everyone's like asking me for help.. and they all ask me.. Mr Lim's over there doing nothing.. ask him!! I guess i'm schmart.. heheh.. it's not that hard to figure out.. i don't see how they can't find the dimensions.. First Won asks me what the dimensions are.. then Tom goes "Jamie.. i need your help".. then Simon.. ahhh.. everyone else is playing cards and can't be bother.. oh.. Alice.. she doesn't bug me but she looks at mine and copies all the dimensions.. lol i have a picture.. will post it up soon.. when i get the time.. like maybe.. tmr or something.. At lunch i went to the library.. Lily and I were gonna get ticket to the Athletics Banquet.. but they weren't open.. they were supposed to!! i went through the trouble of looking for Wanta to borrow money and they didn't open the student booth..sigh.. We asked David why it wasn't open but he didn't know.. so i guess we'll get them on Monday.. I'll have to bring my camera and possibly video camera.. no meeting on Monday coz it's Victoria.. then i guess i'll have to ask David about posponing it.. coz Athletics Banquet is on Thursday that leaves us 2 days.. ok what else.hmmm well i'll stop for now

[Baxter Day]

As I have already written in my last post, today's Mr Baxter Day. People arrived at school in hockey jerseys, ties, suits, school shirts. Alice just told me that Ivan was in a tuxedo..i managed to get some shots of Mr Baxter entering the school.. they had like music and body guards.. Scott Rolufs and some other guy were his body guards. They were in suits and had shades on and those ear pieces.. Kathy, Adam, Jimmy, Chris, Jason and Tom are playing Big 2...Our little group of just me, alice, jimmy and alice has drawn a larger crowd...now the group's all guys..i got some pictures of them playing

-3:45pm-
Crazy day today... At lunch, there was some events going on in the garage.. I was running back and forth from one end of the school to the other looking for Lily and Krissy. Diane was still in cooking. Took her so long to wash the dishes and all so i gave up waiting for her... Eventually found Lily and they [Lily, Krissy and Wanta] actually found a pretty good spot with a good view..They had a stage or platform.. Mr Baxter was supposed to eat his lunch up there.. They had a table set with his food there and the band people who played violins like Crystal, Ivon, David, Alice, Kevin, and Irene. They didn't play Canon in D minor!!!! They played some other sad song in which Crystal had to play the piano.. You couldn't really hear it coz of all the people talking.. This other guy played the piano after and of course nothing could be heard...after that, pep squad performed.. and after them, the breakdancing guys did a performance.. it's crazy.. like pep squad is dancing for girls.. and the breakdancing is like all guys.. korean guys tho..i got some pictures of that..hmmm what else.. oh yeh this teacher.. arh forgot her name..well anyway.. she got Mr Baxter fishing gear and dressed him up with all the equipment and stuff.. and made him put on the boots and hat and vest and *cough* boxers with a salmon at the back..her jokes were so corny.. she handed Mr Baxter a fishing rod and she was like "oh and that.. i just got it for the halibut" get it?? Halibut.. Hell of it...oo and then they had Coral and her superviser dressed up in fishing gear and they had a cardboard boat and huge fishing rod... there were 3 guys from choir... scott was one of them..well whatever their names are.. they sang with the "We three Kings" tune.. they were in cardboard cars and they sang to Mr Baxter.. it was pretty good...hmm oh yeh! Jerica sang a song at the beginning.. ooo and at the very end.. they were welcoming the "Queen of England"... they had trumpets playing and SOMEone was walking down the stairs.. and who is it??? Mr Derbyshire!! He was queen elizabeth..he had a white dress on with a purple robe and a tiara/crown...lol he walked onto the stage and tried to speak more.... feminin like..it was a fun lunch.. i got sooooooo many pictures..during break.. or.. after break they gave out cupcakes to each class.. they were kinda sickening.. Shaw ate 2.. oh god.. they have rich thick cream on the top and it's REALLY gross.. i could puke eating it...David was filming almost every single event... which means we have a lot of footage for the broadcasting.. oo i got 88% on my last math test.. phew i thought i wouldn't get an A.. my average for the whole course is still 82% tho.. still have the next test and the final to push it up.. just those few %s

[badminton's back]

wow.. i haven't touched my racket and actually played WELL for a while.. I think giving it a rest for a few days is good..Or maybe the seniors are just rusty coz they haven't played for a month now. We had the meeting at lunch and tmr's gonna be an "official" meeting.. Today we were just trying to get everything settled. We weren't expecting James and Wayne to show up but they did anyway.. probably for the meet and expert or something.. there were a LOT of people.. and we were making a LOT of noise.. and we were in the library.. it was all Tina and those girls.. i was gonna go like SHUT UP!!! David was like OK EVERYONE!! CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!!! We got a list of emails and he explained what was going on.. At the moment there are still some people who don't have jobs but I know a few of us are gonna be at the athletics banquet and we're gonna film something. I COULD try to get a camera.. that's if my dad's gonna trust me to use the camera.. and we need a reporter.. so that's probably Jin Young? I think that's her name..Junior and David totally took over.. When a few of us where there, he was talking.. and then James and Wayne come in and Wayne's talking as if he were in charge and he was like "why is everyone here.. no one told the MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE to come" [psh sure..important] anyway so much for that.. got kicked out of the library coz we were making way too much noise.. Played badminton after.. aww we had to ditch Krissy and Diane..hmm and Wanta but she had Tom... so all good..Lily and I played with Stella and Stephanie.. I was wearing sandals tho.. what a day to pick to wear sandals.. I was thinking about it this morning.. i was like.. maybe i won't play badminton.. but i did.. heh.. I got a school racket.. Harry was like Jamie you need to change your shoes.. you're gonna slip and twist your ankle.. and i was like what if i just played front and stood there to get front shots.. he gave me the 'ah well whatever' look.. I played front with Lily.. and after a while we switched rackets.. she wanted the heavier one so she could clear.. whoa i was like crazy today..like super fast reflexes!!! but then again we were playing with Stella and Stephanie who are afraid of me blocking shots??? hmm well since i was front and they lift.. i just hit it down.. Lily said i was mean.. but those shots were so good to smash.. it's perfect!! and i didn't even hit them hard.. and Stella and Stephanie were like scared..There was one point where the bird kept going back and forth between me and Stephanie.. but hey i loved my super fast reflexes today.. Field trip after lunch.. I think it's in New Westminster.. anyway.. it's this REALLY small shop.. very very very small.. and when all of us went in.. blast of cool air.. Air conditioning is on and there's like no door.. or the door was open and it's really open.. like not much wall.. so.. the air just escapes...yeh so all of us go in and i'm the first person in there and she's like Essayez-vous... which means have a seat.. but she said it really fast and with a stronger accent than Mme Waterton.. sounded like Essoiyez-vous...on my sheet i had a small poutine and a pop.. the poutine fills.. awhh the fries and gravy was good.. but the cheese.. clumps of cheese blechhhhhhh.. tasted weird too.. and i like cheese.. but this was just nasty stuff.. and it fills you so fast.. Pity those people who ordered a large.. really big portion..plus i had a pepsi.. fizzy... bloated!! poor Crystal.. she had a large and gingerale.. but she kept going.. she looked like she was gonna die forcing it down her throat.. Lily had just fries, a drink and ice cream.. but she couldn't get those fries down.. Wanta.. she had so much i was so amazed.. she had a few fries from my poutine.. cheese from my poutine.. lol.. and her own fries and some of crystals cheese.. that cheese was nasty but she seemed to like it.. and she had an ice cream cone..and the last bit of my pepsi.. i was feeling so sick just watching her..[hmm Evan's mom just drove in to the garage.. they got a new car AGAIN.. they get a new car every year.. i think his dad works at some car company.. every single year they change cars.. when i moved here there was a gold truck and a blue van... then it became a black truck and black some other car].... the bus ride was fun.. i was reading tho.. lol Frank left his backpack in the other bus.. so Mme Waterton was calling all these people.. we wasted 45 mins in class doing nothing.. like really NOTHING at all.. i was talking to Ming, Crystal and Amy... after school i called home to get my dad to bring my racket and shoes to play badminton.. it was pretty good i guess..I was rallying with Lily.. and then Esther played with us.. 2 on 1.. and i was the 1.. made me run like hell.. my throat was really dry.. Keli bugged to let him play with us.. i really don't like him at all.. he's just.. not likable.. even as a friend.. i hate talking to him..i mean like when we miss a shot, he's like HA COULDN"T GET THAT COULD YA!?.. i'm like shut up keli.. Lily and I made him run.. that's his weakness.. slow court movement.. i learned so much this year.. so glad.. after a while.. Keli was like worn out.. Lily and I ditched him to play doubles with Esther and Jenny.. that was fun.. playing with them is more fun than playing with Keli.. tho they haven't played for a month and are kinda rusty.. coz Lily and i were beating them..just when they clear it relaly far back.. it gets hard for lily to return a good shot... we gotta work on that.. Mr Slade's gonna make practices every weds now.. yay.. I think it's good to give badminton a rest for a while before playing again.. i played way better than when i played 5 days straight..It's Mr Baxter Day tmr.. Announcements said to wear either a tie[coz Mr Baxter wears a tie], a hockey jersey[coz he likes hockey], black and white, or anything with the school amblem on it.. hmm i wonder what to wear.. Lily suggested our badminton shirts.. coz it's got FireHawks on it.. and i'll prob wear my baige shorts.. lets see.. i'll have to go look for it.. Ms Robinson was asking Harry whether he got the pictures of Jr Badminton.. that one day when he was taking shots of us all..i wanna see those pictures..But he said he gave it to Joonhee.. and lily said she and I have shots.. so Robinson gave us her email and i need to send her photos tonight.. i should start doing that.. hmm.. oo Lily and I were waiting outside with Esther, Joonhee and Jenny.. and Jenny had this huge 2 litre bottle of pop.. and it was near the end.. not sure what Joonhee said but Jenny totally spazzed at him.. holy crap Koreans can talk fast.. she kept going on and on and i couldn't catch a word she said.. I think Joonhee said "i know you're thirsty.. but" something like that.. after, Esther told me that he said "I don't know what you're talking about".. [shrugs] but Jenny was like holy spazzzzzzzz... lol Esther was like "it's PMS" haha.. Evan [senior one] was walking out of school and he saw me with lily and those seniors and he was like "Lefty!".... i'm glad i'm a lefty.. people notice me more coz of it.. it seems..I was like "err.. Righty!".. that's all he know me by...but i know him.. found his name in the yearbook.. i wonder.. would anyone else do that?? I mean i'm weird... if there's someone who talks to me who isn't in my grade.. i would go home and look through the yearbook to find out what that person's name is..his name's Evan Dear...ah well whatever.. the more the friends the better..
ah now i remember... lily just said that Joonhee said "Wow you drank the whole thing?".. hmm that god her so pissed??

[cold....]

JUST great..caught the cold again.. i guess it ain't suprising..i'm always getting sick here.. Joey got sick the night before and either she passed it to me.. or i got it from someone at the theatre or badminton courts.. hmm i don't think i'll play badminton at Guildford Rec next week.. I'll prob go with Uncle SH and see how much i've improved since the last time i played with them..if it goes well and it's not such a hassel to take me out for lunch after then i'll prob consider playing with them.. if not.. my sundays shall remain free... it's about 36 days left??? i think??? til school ends.. My mom and sis should be leaving soon.. it's gonna be 3 weeks of just me and my dad.. arh.. i have to go complete my drafting assignment..
-10:45am-
I can't think.. i played a game of big 2.. i can't concentrate on my work.. at all. it's just blank..well just 10 mins to go and it's lunch.. even tho i've already eaten my lunch.. [hey i was hungry].. have our meeting for the broadcasting thing and then work on french in the library or something..
-4:10pm-
Well Mr Nguyen didn't show up for the meeting. We waited for 10 mins and he didn't come. Maybe i should print out that sheet they needed. It wasn't even really NEEDED. I mean Wayne could have simply told everyone what was to be changed and I could just forward the list to everyone else. When David asked what list he wanted and Wayne told him, he burst out laughing so hard. Yeh really stupid.. Ah well whatever.. I'll print out the sheets.. as many copies and we need...In French, we were talking about Mr Fagiano, our soon to be new principal. Some people said that he's strict and is gonna shorten the lunch hour.. Someone said that the dress code's gonna be strict too. Like no spaghetti tank tops and if people violate the code, we may have to have uniforms.. Well David said it's all RUMOURS! but no one's told him [he's in student council so i figured he knew something]anything and i'm just hearing stuff..hmm awww diane's moving again!!! she said something about she getting the house from her uncle?? and they haven't exactly paid her uncle yet and he changed his mind and now the house isn't theirs and they have to move?? that SUCKS! what kind of uncle is he!??! so now diane's hoping to get a house in FH.. but will she? who knows.. arh Mme waterton went out to her car during class to get our treats.. NOT GOOD.. the guys were like CLOSE the shutters!! Jonathan Montroy somehow manages to twist something with SOMETHING.. a key? a coin? yeh whatever it was.. he managed to get the blinds shut BUT how stupid can they get? they didn't close the window properly and WHAT happens? it gets jammed.. and Mme Waterton gets really mad! But somehow her anger never stays for long.. Jon got a referal i think.. but hey he owned up so it was good i guess.. at least he owned up to it..
-9:30pm-
Lily send me Multiple Msns.. finally! i can use both my accounts.. the one i usually use is almost full anyway.. i tried deleting people i didn't want but still got full.. somehow..this way.. 2 diff accounts.. is kinda confusing.. like the screen won't move.. you have to drag your cursor to the right side of the screen before it opens..ah well i'll live with it i guess...
-10:25pm-
omg hiccups!!! lol lily was like "Find a finger...turn it around.. and follow it.." i was like trying to figure out what she meant.. and i was doing it.. and i thought it was some sorta quote.. and i thought it was funny.. and she's like but that's what diane does.. then i was like.. hmm ok it's diane's remedy for curing hiccups.. darn i thought it was something else.. lol lily you're hilarious.. the sunflower seed!! omg.. Ming had Spitz and she gave me some... and i was eating it.. and Lily was like what's that.. and i'm like sunflower seeds.. and she's like oh.. and she takes one and puts the thing in her mouth.. i was like WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! and she's like eating it.. lol!! with the shell on!!! omg lily you're so funny!!

[Orli's a killer!!]

Just got back from the movies.. Watched Troy and Mean Girls with Diane and Lily.. Left this morning at 8:50 to go play badminton..it was kinda sad.. and really warm.. Binh wasn't there.. i think he said his sister was getting married?? I could not use that racket.. the red ones we have.. i can clear it far but sometimes too far.. i can't control it at all.. is it coz it's a crappy racket?? is it coz i can't play? is it coz i'm not used to it?? or is it just a bad day?? [hmm that rhymes..too much poetry for me] we walked to Mc D's then to the theatre... heh we sneaked our drinks in..Troy was a really good movie.. It's about Greece.. and yeh greek gods.. you know the story.. So the King of Sparta wants to conquer many parts of greece.. and has already done so..and the queen of Sparta, Helen doesn't like him at all.. it starts with a party with kings and princes and all those royal people in Sparta and they're having a.. sorta like a peace party.. the King wants peace with Troy... But Paris.. Prince of Troy is in love with the King of Sparta's wife [at least i think it was wife].. so he sneaked up to her room and i think has been for a while.. When they leave to go back to Troy, Paris takes Helen with him and the King eventually finds out she's missing.. some old fisherman tells him that he saw the Trojans with her blahblahblah.. and they send a thousand ships out to war..[so much for peace with troy].. I really don't get how the war works.. they like set a time and place to battle.. weird.. anyway.. Achilles.. supposately the strongest warrior of Greece? or he's invincible.. like immortal..cannot be beaten.. He's fighting for greece.. but more like fighting for himself.. he doesn't like the King of Greece... and he has his own group of men who fight with him... and also he brought his cousin along..but his cousin hasn't fought in a war before and is still learning..and the war goes on.. the people who are attacking troy are the King of Sparta and his brother[king of somewhere in greece.. heh].. one of them wants to get Helen back.. the other wants to conquer Troy..tho at some point, when Paris challenged the king of sparta to a fight and winner takes Helen, the king changed his mind.. like when you fight, you fight for pride, glory.. Paris got cut in the thigh and punched in the face and he was being a coward.. he didn't want to fight.. which i thought was kinda sad.. ORLANDO!!! he was a wimp in the movie!!! But hey, he's still hot..so they kept attacking.. Achilles wouldn't let his cousin fight and he got mad and wore Achilles armor and he moved just like him and looked just like him.. Achille's men thought it really was him... and Hector, Paris's brother[stepbrother?] sliced his throat and the guy died.. he wouldn't have killed him if he had known it wasn't Achilles.. so then Achilles gets mad and goes to Troy and fights Hector.. and kills him. ties him to the back of his chariot and drags the corpse back to their camp.. later that night, the King of Troy somehow manages to leave troy and get into the Sparta camp and find Achille's "tent".. he talks to Achilles and begs him to return the body..he said something about him knowing Achille's father and Achilles was like crying after.. One of the Kings [the one who got Achilles to fight with them.. not the King of Greece or Sparta] thought of the idea of the wooden horse and they pretended the men had caught the plague and they had left already. but they hid their boats and left the horse there.. the king of troy came out to look at it.. Paris was like BURN IT! BURN IT!!! but did his father listen?? nooOOooo....so they bring the horse pass the wall!!! and all these Spartans come out at night.. stupid stupid stupid! Achilles was in there so i guess it was good they didn't burn the horse.. heh.. the only thing Achilles wanted to do was look for Paris's cousin.. he found her and they kept her as a slave..and he fell in love with her.. i forgot her name...they burn Troy and killed their king.. Hectors wife saved some people and Helen.. Paris went to look for his cousin.. and that was just when the King of Sparta was about to kill her.. she stabbed him and the soldiers were gonna kill her then Achilles came and killed them.. AND THEN Paris comes and uses his bow and arrow and shoots Achilles in the ankle.. STUPID PARIS!!! His cousin was screaming NO and he still shot him like 5 times..paris killed achilles!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO that's so sad.. Achilles is supposed to be invincible.. and Paris the coward kills him THAT easily.. sigh.. good movie..funny how they make Orlando an archer.. he's so good at it since he got all his practice in lord of the rings.. we sneaked into Mean Girls after that. hilarious..there's this one part were Regina, the mean girl.. gets hit by a bus that made me jump.. she fractured her spine! other than that.. crazy movie.. after the movie we saw Annie, Julian, Alice, Tim and some other guy there.. lol we walked to Walmart to meet Diane's mom and when we were just about to get into the car, Lily was like "Where's my racket?" and we were like hmm.. i don't think i saw her with it after watching Troy.. we walked back to the theatre and asked the lady at the counter and thank god she had the racket..

phew.. finally back in my house, my room, on my cpu, my keyboard.. =) wow.. i just found out how much msn means to me.. i'd have absolutely nothing to do.. ok maybe it's not just msn.. it's the internet.. i guess if msn was taken away from me i'd still survive.. but say i got msn taken away from me.. and i still had the internet.. i could still look for my poems and use the rhyming dictionary and all that.. french dictionary.. now if my cpu time was taken away and i don't have my french dictionary what am i gonna do? hmmm?? and what about important emails that have to be read asap.. My uncle was talking about badminton.. he was like "Are you better at badminton now?" Me> yes better than the last time i played you.. SH>Can you beat me? Me>no... but still better..David said to get a racket from Asia.. and that's just what i'm gonna do.. i asked him what one to get.. but all he could tell me is yonex.. Harry too.. he's like yonex and a light one..

[.....those were the days]

Now that badminton is totally over.. Last tournament's over.. year end wind up's over..there's nothing interesting anymore..the last few weeks shall go by as they have in the first semester..wake up in the morning.. go to school... classes... lunch.. more classes..school ends.. come home.. do homework... msn sleep.. and the whole cycle begins again.. lol when i was at Playland, i split a 20$ bill into a 10 and a 5.. on the 5 there was a stamp which read Where's Willy.. i've gotten something like this before.. hey maybe it's the same one.. hmm or not.. i went to Whereswilly.com and typed in the serial number... it's travelled a long way.. but no one has bothered to enter the number...but "willy's" in someone elses wallet now.. or cash register..

-8:45pm-
Goodbye to my racket
Aww my uncle needs the racket he gave me for his company game..and it's goodbye even tho he's "borrowing" it.. coz the last time he borrowed a racket [the one he gave my sister], he never gave it back.. aww i won so many games with that racket..well i'm getting a new one.. and i'm gonna CHOOSE it! I better be there to look at them.. or else!

[TOC]

Have a different TOC... Mr Lim's here.. but since he's usually never in the room, he decided to get a TOC.. who is unbelievably NOT AS GOOD as Mr K..ok.. not as good?? she's... cough cough choke.. byatch.... like seriously.. Kathy plays music on the cpu every class and no one's ever been bothered by it.. and now that the stupid TOC's here she can't play it?? Karen has music on and she doesn't care..this teachers pregnant.. and she's like mean.. really really mean..playing cards is not disrespectful but playing music is???
-5:45pm-
hmm i posted this 3 times..schools computer says it's not posted or saved and i click it more and now it posts 3 times???? i'm so full of pizza.. We played badminton like regular practice.. Mr Slade played a game with us.. It was me and Harry against Lily and Slade..heh..we lost that one.. then i switched partners.. Me and Slade vs Harry and Lily..and we lost.. by 1 point.. it was 14-12 and Mr Slade was like ok we have to win these last two points coz he had to go get the pizzas..and i was all worked up.. and then we screwed up so many shots.. heh.. ah well it was tied 14--14 and then the last point was coz Mr Slade hit it into the net..playing badminton with Harry and Mr Slade somehow feels different.. it's not as worked up as when we play people like Johan and Ashley..god Keli must be the most annoying person i know. i wish i could just yell at him.. even when he treats you nicely it's annoying.. you wanna slap him and plug your ears when he talks.. I was playing him and Jensen and i called Harry over to play with me.. Jensen held his racket up, Keli swung and then wham.. HUGE dent.. well the frame just totaly BENT! HARHAR! serves Keli right for being such a big jerk..Jensen and Keli kept argueing about who's fault it was.. it was both of them. Jensen for holding his racket up and not calling mine.. Keli for swinging his racket hard against Jensen's [which was actually a schools racket.. that is kinda impossible to bend.. when Keli was like laughing coz i missed one of his shots... he seemed to find it really amusing.. but no one was listening to him.. Harry was like "keli, get out of the gym.. " and Keli was like "why.." and Harry said "coz you're being an idiot" .. that was good.. Harry was like mad at him.. and that was real good.. in your face keli..he's weak..

[Playland was crazy]

Just got back from school.. crazy day today.. best day i've had in weeks.. Went to science this morning, got our packages and waited infront of school for the school buses to come.. they were late!! We waited about 15 mins.. or more..there were 3 classes going, 2 from Mr Devereaux and Ms Wilkie's.. After talking, playing ABCD, playing cards.. and standing and talking somemore the buses finally arrived.. it was so frickin cold outside..i was in shorts and sandals..got on the bus, took a roll call and finally left.. we reached there at about 10am.. there were a WHOLE lot of other schools.. they were all seating on the stands... CROWDED.. Diane and i were like where's binh?!?? [lol diane.. look for a big guy who goes by the name binh and he's big... Jeff>that guy and that guy and that guy and that guy] they opened the doors and at first we were gonna go get a locker.. Jenny, Diane and I hung out the whole time.. walked... then started jogging.. then started running.. then rushed to the hellavator!! lol..short line so we went there first.. it was crazy.. i didn't remember it being like this.. diane and i screamed.. the last time i went on it with Lisa and Krissy i didn't scream.. but today it was like AHHHHHHHH..[diane!! LOL!! practicing your screams].. after that we decided not to leave our bags anywhere. Carried them to every single ride..second ride we went to was Baywatch. i think it's new.. or.. quite new.. the last time i've been to playland was like a long time ago.. i love that ride.. it's like the pirate ship, cept you are in a tube like thing [a ring?] and you're spinning as well as swinging..that ride was the best..there was a lady who was sorta.. hmm plump? the brace wouldn't go down far enough.. so she had to leave... that was so sad.. kinda felt sorry for her.. went to hellsgate next.. which i guess was ok.. i somehow thought it was better before.. even tho it's the same thing.. the braces were REALLY tight tho.. it was pushing down real hard.. then went to corkscrew.. coz i had a sheet do to for that one.. diane and jenny followed me.. very bumpy ride.. i like the double loop..hmm what else did we go to.. oh yeh.. the octopus.. i talked to a grade 12 from Frank Hurt from that ride..then went to Enterprise.. i don't really like that ride.. it like spins you 360 degrees vertical [was that right?]... but hey i'm gonna be a sport and go on every ride.. went on the pirate ship.. which was boring compared to baywatch.. lol Edisson went on the Pirate Ship like 7 times.. i think that was the only ride her went on.. and the music one actually.. but most of the time he was on the pirate ship..let's see.. what else.. oo we had baskin robbins ice cream.. mmmmm so good..there were some people who didn't ride at all.. i think.. most of the time i saw them walking around or sitting.. like Tyler and Ryan.. I got the Hellavator bottle.. or.. cup.. crazy tall cup.. 8bucks.. but hey.. it's my money and it was bottomless refils... and you can't forget the cotton candy.. what's a day at the theme park without cotton candy..we were gonna go on the log ride.. but the line up was really long.. so we skipped that.. Jack waited almost an hour for that ride.. went back to Baywatch again.. but by that time we were all filled up with sugar and coke and ice cream.. felt really sick after.. blehh.. diane and jenny went on the swings... like merry go round thing cept with swings... i got dizzy just watching.. i was still feeling kinda sick.. it was 2 so we had to go.. 4 hours ain't a really long time.. we saw binh!!!.. he was walking right behind us and he's like "oh so now that i call you, you don't wanna talk to me eh??".. lol i really didn't hear him calling us.. but i could recognize his voice.. talked to him for a bit but we had to split up to look for our buses.. 68 lynch.. heh.. we finally left and found out that 2 people were missing!!! damn had to drive all the way back to look for them.. when they came on the bus,everyone was like BOOOOOOOOOO..i had to pee so badly..coughcough.. maybe i shouldn't have said that..tried to fill in the work sheets on the bus.. which made my writing really messy.. but ah well.. i'll change it tmr or something.. got back quite late.. like 3:05pm.. i was afraid the gym wasn't gonna be open coz i didn't know who would show up.. but Harry, Jensen, Hogan and Michael were there.. i rallied with Diane.. i had to bug her to play!! meanie..she wasn't feeling too good.. i felt kinda weird.. my racket felt so light.. like i could hit it so easily.. weird.. but my view.. my brain was like not there.. Diane felt too sick and she wasn't wearing her gym strip so Mr Slade told her to get a strip.. so she left.. aww.. I got my camera and took some shots of Harry and Michael playing.. but Harry was like.. not now.. concentrating on winning his "big" "important" game.. guys are so weird.. so competitive.. losing is not an option..anyway.. i follwed lily to go to the french class.. coz i thought she was gonna have the second speech meet there..but the judges weren't there so i left.. played badminton with Ted, Stella, Tim and Sylvia...that was.. not a very nice game.. really boring..Sylvia and I make a good team.. well playing Ted and Stella.. yeh.. she can smash..and so can i .. so we're all good.. Had to take the nets down at 4:30.. sad..ah well..we have a shoot out tmr..or.. whatever you call it.. forgot what Mr Slade said it was..we get a party.. he's gonna open the gym and we can have pop and stuff like that.. and play.. yay.. i hope it goes on for a while.. not just til 4:30.. i wanna play.. today wasn't really good.. so i hope tmr will be.. oo must tell david..he had the speech meet today.. same with Lily.. apparently he didn't do too well.. screwed up or something.. but hey we all screw up..i wouldn't dare do a speech in front of judges and people..all good.. i had fun today.. we have to go back there at the end of summer..i'll put the pictures i took up on webshots as soon as my dad uploads them..ok yeh my blog looks really plain.. but i'll think of something.. ha! i remember what that thing was now!! David just reminded me of the word.. year end wind up! ok, 4 words.. but there we go..we're having our year end wind up for badminton tmr!

[Mr K.. AGAIN]

Man we've had too much of this guy.. The Administrator locked out my school account..so i can't log on!!! WHY!?!?? I didn't download or play ANY games to have it locked.. unless someone was on my account which i highly doubt..cept maybe once when those stupid grade 10s came into our class.. but that's it.. this morning, Chris, Justin.. who else.. i think Colin.. they all weren't in class..Simon tried sneaking out.. and suceeded.. left to go SOMEWHERE and Justin snuck into Mr Pielaks tech room.. Mr K.. hmm he was writing something on a sheet of paper.. gave up bugging us to work..I was playing cards with Kathy, Alice and Jimmy.. i would have worked but Jimmy wanted me to play and i still could NOT log on.. Mr K was like [in his weird monotone accent] "why don't you shut the computer down and turn it off and wait 2 mins and then turn it back on".. i was like hmm.. the administrator locks my account.. not the computer.. but he's like this old unreasonable teacher so i just restarted it.. it's like you say something to him and he says something totally different and it's like he's not listening to you or something.. he has thick square glasses and when he talks, his mouth doesn't look like it's moving.. always has this weird "evil" smile but the words that come out of it are monotone and dull...no highs or lows.. well actually... all lows.. hehehe..So anyway, i played big 2 the whole block..Jimmy's actually pretty nice.. Jon and Chad and all the guys usually pick on him.. he's nice tho.. i think that's why they pick on him..aww so sad.. ah well.. even Cole's pretty nice.. he's nice to me.. Krissy says she doesn't really like him.. I don't seem to have guys picking on me.. or calling me names or any of the stupid things they do.. why does Krissy then??? I just talk to them normally and they do the same..so it's all good..Playland tmr!!! damn we have 4 sheets to do.. well more like 4 packages.. 9 sheets..I chose the Pirate Ship, Corkscrew, Hells Gate and Roller Coaster [Wooden Coaster]..gonna be a fun day tmr.. plus! badminton after school.. aww why can't they have like badminton at lunch today or thursday at lunch.. wait.. today.. Thursday we have that meeting and i wanna go to the meeting.. but noOOOoo, the gym's open for badminton on weds at lunch!! well at least i get to go to playland tmr.. i don't think i've been there since grade 7..i didn't go last year at all coz i had science in the first semester.. we went to grouse instead.. that was also fun.. got to play with snow.. ice skate on an outdoor skating rink, enter a squamish prayer "cabin".. Must remember to bring my camera tmr.. it's like IMPORTANT.. get shots of us in Playland and also for badminton.. i need more pictures of us playing for my slideshow.. more action shots..and David said to get some shots of him playing with Jensen?? or.. ok just him playing with whoever.. we listened/watched Crystal, Alice, Kevin, David, Irene and Ivon practice their song for next weeks ehhhh something.. they're having some performance..they played Canon in D minor-Pachebel.. it's a good song.. i love it..violin sounds so much better in a group... with the cello.. if you play the violin on it's own and you're not professional, it ain't good.. hey i found out Binh's going to Playland tmr too.. crazy.. patricks not going.. coz he had science last semester..

[no bday party.. full gym!]

When we arrived at the rec centre, Sophia, Sue, David, some guy and Jensen were waiting.. hehe their BIG small family..they were all waiting for Patricks aunt.. crazy and the lady actually let them in.. well there was no birthday party today so the full gym was open.. pretty good..it should be like that every week..Jensen was kinda suprised we came.. weird.. he was like "hey how come you guys are here." and i'm like "coz we wanted to play?".. played a few games.. wasn't really playing well at the beginning.. but when i played with Patrick, Diane and Lily, my net shots were crazyyyyy.. all the tips and rolls..David [Dryden] sent me a clip of him playing badminton with some other guys.. and they smashed it on him 3 times.. well not really smash but at him... and he hit them back all 3 shots and the last one tipped and rolled over the net..it was crazy.. Rallied with Jensen, played half court singles.. i guess that was pretty good.. worked on pretty much everything.. drops, nets, clears, smashes, drives...Don't you just hate it how people think they're better than you are.. there's this girl i played with before.. last week?? yeh she's in grade 10 and she's on the senior team in her school.. Harry said she's prob just a space filler..cough i'm not THAT pro.. but she ain't much better than i am..She asked me if i wanted to play with her.. so i did.. coz Diane and Lily were resting.. and i was whacking the bird on the wall...so i rallied with her.. Diane was watching.. Diane told me that she's NOT good at all...but she THINKS she's pro or something.. if i did a net shot and we were playing serious, i don't think she'd be able to get it..ah well.. the other European girl was even more annoying.. When we entered the gym there were a whole lot of caucasian kids like grade 1 and 2s.. god.. take up so many courts.. Diane was like HIDE YOUR FACE.. or else that little girl will bug us to play with her again.. the last time, her dad told her to let us play on our own.. and she was like "dad it's ok, they're easy!" PSH only coz we were going EASY on her.. cough i actuall tried to smash one at diane.. but it hit her instead..heh..then she called me mean.. so meh.. Simon and Jay have been calling on me the whole day to play hockey.. every time, i'm like no i have to eat.. then do my homework.. and all that.. every 10 mins they come back. i'm like NOOOOOO not now! and i had to give Jay a sucker to make him leave.. i eventually played with them.. lasted 20 mins.. and that's all they wanted?!?! ah well scored one goal..it's bike season!! Sam and Jonathan are filming a video.. Jon [Swan] has jumps and Sam has the cam.. so they have all these kids on their bikes and they're going off the jumps.. i remember last year, Sam made a killer ramp.... about 3 feet off the ground... his dad was like only HE can go on it.. no one else.. coz they don't want anyone else getting hurt.. he actually managed to go off it a few times.. caught it on tape too..we were gonna send it to was it something Caught on tape.. forgot what it was.. heh..I made a slideshow of Badminton 2004.. i guess it was pretty good..Sent it to Harry.. but he wasn't sure if he could view it coz he didn't have the program.. then i asked Lily and she said anyone should be able to view it [exe file] Couldn't finish sending it to Krissy.. something went wrong.. Should have taken more shots.. most were blurry.. coz i can't take them so fast...ah well it looks pretty good..for a 10 min slideshow with music and all..

My mom was like "Jamie if you went over to Tamara's to get books would you know how to get them? which authors??".. i was like "You know you're talking to ME about books".. the stalker came by.. oh god.. probably gave him a reason to come down to our cul de sac to snoop around..

[duabe' sheeeep... bahhhhhhh]

Had to get up at 7 this morning to get ready for badminton.. Supposed to meet outside FH at 8:30.. the gates were closed so there was no way we could get into the car park..so we had to park a distance away from the main entrance.. Only Lily, Diane, Jason and Jensen were there at first .. David arrived like just when i did.. had to wait about 10 mins for Jun and Cody to come coz Mr Slade said to wait til the second ride arrives before we all leave.. but it was all good.. reached Elgin at around 8:40am and we actually had a court in the small gym.. Rallied with Jensen, David and Jun..then had to go listen to the rules and instructions.. played our first game against some people in 6th place?? 7th?.. it went by fast.. like boomboomboom.. gone.. second up had to play oh god patrick and xenia..the like "best" mix doubles team.. for once.. they weren't the greatest.. like REALLY.. Jensen and I beat them easily.. that was like WHOA.. So many people watching us too.. it was a game played very smartly [mr slade said so] that brightened our day.. totally..lol.. david was like coaching us and giving us tips on what to do and what not.. and after a few times he went up.. he got kciked off by Mr Slade..lol.. taking his job..played some other people next.. won that game too.. then somewhere along the line we had to play Yohan and Ashley AGAIN..we've played them every single tournament.. and every single tournament we've never been able to beat them..Yohan just does the same thing over and over.. he hits it down my right side and i can never get it.. and jensens on the left..every single time he does that..ah well i'm just glad we beat Patrick and Xenia...We've gotten to know them[Yohan and Ashley] so well now.. i talked to Ashley.. like when we were watching Jensens singles game.. Ashley's pretty nice..i guess you just gotta make friends and get to know each other.. playing competitive badminton with them ain't exactly friendly but it's all good.. we're friends.. we placed 4th.. but our last game for 3rd and 4th really sucked... i mean we could have won that game but Jensen was really tired and i was like missing a whole lot of shots.. but he had singles after so ah well..he ranked 4th for that too.. was 3rd at first.. but then he had to play Cole [the deaf guy.. who's amazingly good] and then got pushed down to 4th..ah well still good..3rd 4th same thing.. no trophy...Well he's a lot better at controlling his anger now.. today he was really nice... getting better each day.. phew.. we had a lot of time to spare.. we were watching games and got a bird to shoot around in the cafeteria.. lol David was like 'hey jamie do you know if Mr Slade said anything about food?' i was like.. ehhhh food? and he's like 'yeh coz i'm kinda hungry'... he walked to Safeway with a friend.. like an hours walk away..and then an hours walk back.. he was gone for like 3 hours.. but our games were still on..Jason didn't place for singles.. sad.. leg injury?? he like did something to his hamstring on weds...but him and Cody placed 2nd for doubles.. i guess that's pretty good.. Jun placed 6th i belief?? lol he was playing Cole in the small gym and after the first game.. or was it second.. he had a blister on his foot.. and had to get tape on it.. went to the pe office and came back.. wasn't sure where Mr Slade was and he didn't have his shoe on..we were like Jun where's your shoe.. and he's like hmm i don't know.. went back.. and he's like where's my shoe and Mr Slade remained unfound..Cole was like COMON!!! cept he sounded really funny.. he's cool.. lol.. very unique..well we found his shoe eventually when we found Mr Slade..i think he lost that game.. let's see.. did i say everyone?? well at least everyone placed at something.. and today was the last day of the season.. it's over.. awww sad..well Lily asked Mr Slade if he could still hold practices.. but he said we'd have to bug him at lunch and we shall..we still have Sunday mornings at the rec centre and Tuesdays teen badminton drop in.. i hope it ain't full.. i wanna see what it's like on tuesday.. harry said it was pretty full last week but empty the week before.. only got back at around 5ish.. Jason's dad drove us home.. he's like the coolest dad ever.. He was talking to David about golf.. and golf.... and... err.. golf.. and we were driving by a lot of farms.. LOL. ok.. you know how hay is.. or.. grass is cut and put into barrel shaped bags.. white bags and they're left on the fields? ok we were driving by a field with all these white bags and diane yelled out.. out of the blue [it was like silent for a while in the car] she's like OOOOO Sheep!!!!! all of us turned to the left and we were like.. errrr.. those aren't sheep diane.. that was sooooo funny.. Lily and Diane are over right now.. gonna leave soon..lol David just told me that "Yohan" is spelt with a "J" so.. Johan.. never knew that.. i guess that makes more sense.. caucasian with a weird name..

[game tmr.. 9am.. eep. mix goes first]

omg.. breathe... inhale exhale.. game tmr.. Fraser Valley!!! so nervous.. Jensen and I are currently 5th place for mix..If we can beat all the other people.. and Yohan and Ashley.. and SOMEHOW beat Patrick and Xenia.. oo that means gold.. BUT i doubt that will happen.. i hope we play Yohan and Ashley first.. or second.. when we're fresh and hopefully it's like their first game or almost last game.. then they'd either not be warmed up or too tired.. my stomach feels weird.. i have a really weird feeling about tmr.. Fraser Valley is 2 trophies.. 1st and 2nd.. i have a BAD feeling.. really bad.. coz the 2 top teams at the moment that we can't beat are Yohan and Ashley from FVC and Patrick and Xenia from Semi.. if just IF Yohan and Ashley get kicked out by like coquitlam or something.. we may have a chance.. for 2nd place..fingers crossed!!!!!
Did a lab in science.. this must be the only lab that we had so much trouble doing.. Pulleys..so hard to set the thing up.. I worked with Alice and Jeff.. and that's 3 people.. if i had worked with Casey.. they would have MORE trouble.. coz even the 3 of us couldn't get it set up.. Ms Purewal gave up.. she just explained it to us.. lol.. french was crazy today.. well not like it isn't any other day.. as usually Mme Waterton has a hard time getting everyone quiet. .but somehow manages to get every lesson done..Frank's like "hey ms waterton! I got a rhyme for you.. and he's like.. if i say it will you give me a B.." and Mme Waterton's like.. no but i'd still like to hear it.. Frank goes "Loser loner wanna be a whore.. ain't got looks so talk to the....... [pause] FLOOR!"... and and and.. after break.. he sat on the chair.. and it was real quick.. he fell and was on the ground.. LOL all of us were like hmm?? and Eric picked the chair up and the leg was BENT!!! omg that was so funny..he switched chairs and was about to sit down and he's like WHOA... lol fell again.. just.. on purpose.. ooo also.. Kyle was about to walk towards our class and Frank got up to go to the door and Mme Waterton ran over and was gonna shut the door.. she went out and pushed the door shut behind her.. BUT.. Frank just had to stick his head inbetween the opening and then.. slam...he's like holding his head and Mme Waterton's just laughing.. after a good 5 mins.. he gets up from the floor and he's like "where am i?" lol..then Mme Waterton bursts out laughing again.. this post has been going on for about 2 hours now.. hmm.. watching the Friends finale right now..Chandler and Monica have twins!! and Rachels leaving?!?!?
-10:50pm-
hmm didn't realize it was this late..omg so nervous.. tmr game at 9.. awww Friends is over!! gone!! no more!! so sad!! they still have something to continue it with!! it ends with like everyone handing over their keys to the apartment.. all of them have a key to the house.. hmm who's going.. let's see.. Me, Jensen, Jason, Cody, David [Dryden], Lily, probably Diane.. hmm actually.. i'm not quite sure if diane's coming.. she said she wanted to.. but never actually.. said.. ah well gonna go.. late.. need rest.. big day tmr.. ahhhhh

[getting ready for next season!!]

Lily and I are trying to see if we make a good doubles team for next year.. i wonder what events i should play.. singles and doubles??? doubles and mix again??? If Jensen wants to play mix again i guess i prob will play with him... but if not.. i may go for singles.. anyway.. Harry agreed to help us with strategies and stuff like that.. it was 4:15 and he was explaining to us what to do and what not to.. so it goes.. if I serve i serve and move up just like how i do in mix.. and if they pop it up, i kill...Lily would then have to go back after i serve.. and play back until she clears or something in which we lose offence so i have to move back and both of us are side to side.... same goes for if lily's serving.. she would stay front and i would get back..i wonder if i can play back.. running and running..i'll have to keep dropping and driving..maybe tmr we shall work on drops..lol lily.. this is so confusing when you're explaining it.. but we'll figure something out.. all comes with experience..no one's better than us.. they just have more experience..
lol after drafting this morning, it was 7 mins before we got out of class and Mr Lim was walking in the hallways and he's like ok you guys hang on for just a while more and then a few seconds later he's like ah well you guys can go.. there's enough people in the hallways for you to blend in.. lol.. and he's like if anyone asks, you came from science.. lol... oo in french.. we had to do this page in the cahier about sports.. like who won a medal or award.. or.. who scored a goal in the stanley cup playoffs.. something like that.. and we have to list the name and the sport.. i had NO CLUE who's who..shows how much i know about athletes..but a whole lot of other people didn't know either so it's all good..Frank kept giving the same answer for every singles one.. he's like Tony Hawk's brother Mike Hawk!! Mr Hawk! Mike!! Hawk's brother Hawk!! and Mme Waterton was like oh Frank! Get off Mike Hawk.. and everyone was just laughing so hard..[cough get it?? say Mike Hawk really fast..] well everyone thought it was funny..i guess our class WOULD be kinda dull without the guys..
hmm when i went to get a drink of water after playing.. i opened the door into the gym and the basketball bounced right in front of me!! i was like OMG.. luckily i wasn't running or anything.. it came RIGHT infront of me..lol.. lily and i were resting.. sitting next to the court watching jensen play kevin and diane..harry was on the court next to us practicing serves.. and lily was like Jamie go play singles with Harry.. and i was like nahh..and Lily yells out.. harry jamie wants to play you singles.. and i was like no.. and Harry's like i have ears.. i heard what you said.. lol..since he was practicing his serves.. all the birds fly to one side and he has to hit them back..so i decided to help him by hitting the birds back to the other side.. ended up playing with him..heh

[work work and more work]

Since i missed a double block of math yesterday, i have probably 2 chapters of math to complete today.. hmm to get my homework and do it in drafting.. or do it at lunch?? If i don't do it and leave it for after school.. that MAY work.. if Danielle's ok with me saying i wasn't in class and missed the homework.. tho some teachers would be like i should have called a friend or something..but meh Mr Huzyk's ok.. i'll get it done tonight.. unless i can spare lunch... but it's weds.. and the gyms open for badminton today...damn.. anyway.. i have an assignment in drafting to do.. have to measure a block of wood then draw it.. hmm.. we have early dimissal today.. but practice is at 2.. so i guess it'll just be a normal day..
-10-17am-
Finished drawing the block..Mr Lim was like Jamie.. copy your drawing into the floppy disk.. and i was like but i'm not done.. and he's like.. doesn't matter just copy it.. i'm like. hmm ok.. whatever you say..

[no michelle and paul.. thank god.. but patrick and xenia.. oh god..]

omg.. played from 11:30 to 7:30.. only got home at 8:15? 8:30pm?? around there..when we got to Elgin, it was near the end of lunch and there was supposed to be a fire drill.. wait no.. earthquake drill..but since we had our game we were supposed to go outside just before the drill..but since the weather was so crappy they cancelled it.. we had a whole hour to warm up.. i thought i was gonna be too tired to play.. but nope.. i didn't play til like 2 hours later.. coz they did singles first..Jensen played 14 games in all.. that's a LOT of games.. he lost some.. won some.. didn't keep track.. i know he lost to Cole.. the deaf guy.. he's really good.. that guys crazy tall.. and so if you clear it.. he'll hit it down on you.. lol when they were warming up.. Cole was like hit it up.. in his own sign language/mumbling.. but Jensen wasn't looking.. he's like oops.. my bad.. when it was sure Jensen was gonna place 5th, he had to play another game against some other guy.. lost that one.. wasn't trying at all..ah well he was ranked already anyway..Elgin Parks gym is sooooo cold.. the ventilation comes from the bottom of the wall.. and it's so cold when it blows on your legs..but it's good when you're playing. it's not stuffy or anything..well Jensen and I played I think it was Elgin? wait no.. Sands?? yeh prob Sands.. the girl wasn't too great.. the guy was a crosscourt dropper.. so Jensen was like watch the sides.. and today.. yes i did.. We played Pinetree too..won those 2 games.. but Jensen got kinda mad in the second game.. wait first game too.. jeez what's his problem.. is he mad at me or himself?? coz i know a few times he was mad at himself.. ah well he played singles before and most of it was my fault ..Mr Slade and Sylvia were watching us.. and he's like Jensen's getting pretty worked up in the first round.. Jamie must be used to it.. lol.. me.. how can anyone get used to someone getting pissed at you..anyway.. we had to play Patrick and Xenia!!!!! NoOOOoooOOoooO...Patrick and his wicked smash.. he actually wasn't playing as well today.. but his shots are just crazy... i tried to hit it to his backhand.. but some of them somehow couldn't go to the right... so he smashed it down on Jensen and Jensen got mad.. sigh.. Well we won the first 2.. lost the 3rd to Patrick and Xenia.. i think her serve was above her waist.. but i didn't really have time to see..or call it.. on one she was high... but all of a sudden her hand when down and it hit the net..hehe lucky shot..we still lost.. then we HAD to.. just HAD to play Yohan and Ahsley.. OH MY GOD..they were the ones we had trouble with.. and Michelle and Paul.. but lucky for us.. Michelle and Paul weren't here.. Michelle had some band trip.. and Paul was wiped out in singles..I AM SOOOO GLAD THEY COULDN'T COME.. that's counted as one game won already!!! if we had to play them.. i dont' think we would have placed 5th...more like 9th..well.. Yohan and Ashley from FVC beat us..they're nicer now.. i used to think Ashley wasn't very nice.. but she's ok..Yohan smashed one shot.. hit me right on the collar bone..first game was close.. second.. meh. lost..our last game we played Frank Hurt.. god no offence.. they suck.. well compared to all the other people we played today.. they were the EASIEST.. i wonder HOW they made it to play for 5th and 6th.. coz the girl just hit it right up for me to finish it.. it was just so perfect.. and that game.. that one shot that was inbetween me and Jensen.. i moved back and wham... kill..that was a nice shot.. i finally got it.. i missed those in all my other games.. well glad to know Jensen was mad at himself in that game.. coz i made all the kills.. 9-0 9-0.. game lasted 1 min and 30 something seconds.. fastest game i've ever played..if only everyone who played in the semi finals were like that..ah well.. 5th.. well we played better than the last time i must say.. practice tmr at 2pm.. and Mr Slade said it can go on for as long as we want.. yes.. he has some interviews to do or something.. so he's gonna be in school.. that's why..our Fraser Valleys are on Friday.. oooo i hope Jensen and i get a medal.. let's see.. i think if we beat that guy in the blue shirt.. from... Pinetree?? Sands???SOMEWHERE.. whoever he is.. if we beat him and his partner.. we could get a chance for bronze.. and if we play extremely hard.. or if we play Ashley and Yohan in the first round.. and beat them.. then we could possibly get silver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patrick and Xenia are most probably gonna get gold.. and ooo yeh we still have a chance.. god i'd hate myself if i screwed up so badly on Friday..that's a pro d too.. prob have to meet up at school at lunch or something..well i'm gonna stop here. hehe. me and my looooong posts.. hey i add stuff on when i remember them..like now.. lol.. Jun got 9th.. Jason got 4th [today just WASN'T his day.. at all.. he lost to Cole.. and man i think this is the first time he's lost a game.. throughout this whole season] Sylvia didn't place.. Jesnen 5th.. hmm who else.. i don't think there was anyone else.. aww season ends this Friday.. so sad.. it's over..omg i keep remembering more things i have to say.. oh yeh.. in the car on the way back. Jensen was like "Jamie.. why didn't you play singles.. you could have gone farther in singles than doubles" i think so too.. Coz Crystal missed so many practices.. hm but i dont know if i could have played singles..

[dreaming... dreaming cloud?? dreaming.. arhhh]

My dad glued my shoe this morning.. no flap of sole[??] sticking out.. Got to school.. and talked to Wanta and Krissy.. they were looking at my racket[no idea what was so interesting about it today.. it's been like this since i got it..] Harry looked at it yesterday and he's like 'this is an old racket'... and it is. i wanna get a new racket.. [Mr Lim is giving us 45 mins til the next block to work on the rest of the drawings.. gonna get new ones later] the strings on my rackets are wearing down.. and when harry was looking at it yesterday, he was like 'this has been restrung... who did it.. i was like.. no clue...anyway.. he was wondering what we were doing and he stopped by on his way into school.. he's like 'got a new grip???' but... nope.. i should get a new grip.. and possibly restring my racket.. or get a new one.. a better one..=)...arh.. Lily told me to go to her site this morning... she made a new one again.. geocities... something.. i forgot what she said!! dreamy.. no dreaming.. dreaming something.. but i can't find it!!! dreaminggirl?? dreamingblog?? dreaming argh i can't remember it..ah well i'll try to find her at break.. awgh i have to go to the art room to get the tape from Mrs Mctavish and then find Mr Nguyen to give it to him... is it possible to transfer that on another tape without the video cam. ?? ah well i did the taping part.. let someone else figure that part out.. i'll write the script for the news cast.. omg i'm so nervous.. butterflies in my stomach.. positive!!!! we're gonna win.. gold medal.. or is it trophies this time.. i forgot.. i remember last year i got a medal for doubles[bronze.. oo yeh Diane hi 5!] and gold for mix [Keli prob did most of that tho.. but hey he wouldn't have been able to have played mix if i wasn't there coz you need a girl] and i think after, the second tournament we got a trophy.. 2nd place..i doubt i'll get anything this year.. but i really hope we do.. coz Jensen really wants to get something.. he's the type of person.. eep.. i'll think... I was talking to Harry about it last night.. he's like reminding me about what i should do and all.. he's like "what should you do after someone serves??" "What should you do after you serve??"... Keli said that if Jensen's being made to run left and right.. for me to move back and clear a shot to "suprise" them.... but everyone keeps telling me to stay front and only front.. harry's like don't move back!! stay front!! Mr Slade's like step in Jamie!! Just one step!! ahh now Keli says move back to centre?? must talk that out with Jensen.. i like have no clue what he's thinking during a game.. maybe i should clear my mind when i play..make sure i'm doing everything right..

-9:10am-
omg.. 20 mins til break.. i am dead bored.. i played solitaire a few times already..tired of thinking.. my heads gonna burst soon.. hmm ah well today's like a whole day of no thinking.. aw but next block we have stuff to do.. but it's prob not gonna be that hard....

-9:40am-
omg.. pantpantpant.. just got back from break.. [this is turning into a diary.. ah well] i had to rush to the art room... get the tape from Mrs Mctavish.. and i'm so glad she knows me and trusts me.. phew.. and she like has no clue what the tape is so she had to get Ms Nickel.. and they need the tape back by the end of this week.. which means end of Thursday coz there's no school on Friday [tho we have a game on Friday and Harry told me that we still have to meet up at school] ok so after she gave me the tape i had to rush to the infotech and business ed rooms to look for Mr Nguyen.. wasn't there.. so i went to the career office.. thank god he was there.. passed him the tape and he said he would copy it for me.. good i thought maybe he had to have some sorta other equipment to copy it.. ok so that's taken care of.. now i have to draw another drawing for drafting.. ok.. draft another drawing.. awh... Kathy [em.. Justin] has crazy cards.. they're like clear...and crazy.. i guess i'll go watch Jason and some other people play cards

Harry was coaching us today.. sigh .. didn't get to play doubles with Lily.. we were gonna work on that.. but ended up playing mix with Jensen..but he wasn't allowed to smash on Lily and Diane.. ah well we won anyway..lol.. at lunch we had another meeting.. and Mr Nguyen's like.. ok by the next meeting we have to have decided who does what.. and god he should fire James.. because there is NO progress whatsoever coz of him..i already got the tape for a segment of the announcement.. just gotta go get it from Ms Mctavish before someone tapes over it..Mr Nguyen also said that it's gonna be hard using the schools camera coz sometimes the art class and business ed have to use it..so we have to get another camera..i doubt we'll get anywhere with James being "prez"....Wayne's slightly better.. all the people who are reporting on screen are waiting for the scripts to be done and everything..David didn't make it to the meeting coz he was writing a Chem. Exam.. Junior wasn't there.. don't know why.. Sophia and someone.. Tina i think came.. for once..after the meeting [amazed we didn't go straight to the 'bridge' to eat].. we were just outside the business ed and info tech classes..David came by to ask about the meeting.. [at least someone cares about this whole project to actually ask about it... james.. psh when will you ever see him care].. i was explaining to him what we were talking about and Lily was standing behind him.. lol she was playing with his zippers on his backpack.. and he was like hm [weird expression on his face.. LOL] and he like turned around really quick... lol Lily was like grinning.. omg lol.. he turned around so quick and looked straight at his backpack.. after that we walked around.. Diane and Jenny had to work on their science project..so it was just me, krissy and Lily.. we went in search of Wanta and Tom.. saw them on the field and we were hiding behind a bush quite a distance away and i was like WANTA!! both of them turned around.. lol.. then Lily called out and they saw her.... so we darted off [how mature of us.. hehe lily] i was totally out of breath.. we went back up to the bridge i was still panting..wanta found us and she was like was it you guys who were calling.. we were like.. we've been here the whole time.. french test today.. it was really easy.. way easier than the last one... i bombed that one... after i handed my test in Mme Waterton took a glance and she looked my way and gave me a strange knod.. i was like.. good or bad?? then after she was like so far only Danielle and Jamie have the best.. =) thank god..really hope that bumps my mark up.. it's like 86.6% for the report card.. i'll prob be able to get straight As this semester..I'm gonna miss double block of math again!!! Doing 2 chapters tmr.. or.. 2 practices? 2 units?? whatever.. 2 of something.. we were doing mirror images today.. like drawing it on graph paper.. Mr Huzyk gave everyone who was working a piece of licorice.. black not red.. i didn't eat it.. lol Doni and Annie ate it.. LOL.. Doni's like hmm.. and after a few seconds she turns to me and she's like jamie oh god this tastes so bad.. a while after.. Annie turns around to me and she's like Jamie do you have a piece of tissue. LOL... glad i didn't eat it..i may still have it in my jacket pocket.. at least there's no math test tmr.. OOOO I checked my mark.. 98% on my last test.. that's the highest i've gotten on any math test.. 98%!!!!!! 98!!! like what.. 2 questions wrong?? or maybe one..but my overall for the whole course up to today is still only 82%.. i guess it's way better than what it was when i just started this course... so close.. by the end of this semester it has to be an A.. Mr Huzyk took up about 5 mins at the end of class talking and talking.. telling us his "story" we only got out at 2:50... sigh.. anyway.. wish me luck for tmr.. fingers crossed !!!! arh... i fell diving for a bird today.. lol i like skidded infront of harry.. he was like backing away.. that was a crazy dive..

[CUPE strike]

According to some website articles.. it sounds really serious.. like there's gonna be a protest tmr.. but some have already started..I found some articles..

strike.bmp

"Despite threats from employers and the government – and deep concern about their future – spirits among HEU members in British Columbia are high, buoyed by the tremendous support they have received from other CUPE members and from the public and other unions."

"CUPE National President Paul Moist visited with hundreds of HEU members and their supporters on protest lines Friday evening and Saturday morning, bringing them a strong message of solidarity and support from CUPE members from coast to coast. [May 1, 2004] "

"CUPE BC has announced that two Lower Mainland transportation locals will be joining thousands of other BC CUPE members in withdrawing their services on Monday, 3, 2004. [May 2, 2004] "

BURNABY – Thousands of CUPE members are gearing up for Community Action Day on Monday, May 3, with many choosing to also walk off the job today (Friday, April 30).

In addition, CUPE leadership is calling on all municipal leaders to send a clear message to Victoria to back off Bill 37, the unfair law that legislates hospital workers back to work and imposes a settlement.

“This type of legislation cannot help build strong communities,” CUPE BC president Barry O’Neill said. “It can only lead to more chaos and the disintegration of our communities and public services. Our civic leaders and others need to say that to Victoria.”

Meanwhile CUPE members can’t wait to protest what the Campbell government has done to working people in this province. They are off the job today in many communities and the protest could escalate to all 70,000 members by Monday.” HEU members number another 43,000, bringing the total protesting to more than 110,000 workers.

In addition, local unions have been planning May Day events for Saturday, May 1. They are being advised to include rallies and marches outside hospitals and MLAs’ offices as part of May Day celebrations.

“British Columbia is in chaos because of an intransigent, confrontational government,” O’Neill said, “not because working people have decided to stand and be counted as being against the kind of heartless, unfair province the Liberals want to create.”
