[Happy Halloween...continued Ahhhh >8D]

So.. Krissy and Diane are over right now. We're going trick or treating later if it doesn't rain. XD... Lol... In the mean time we're playing games.

-Coors Light-

-How to Carve a Pumpkin-

-8:47pm-
Ah... finally.. everythings quiet. Hoge, Adam, and a buncha other people are still outside playing with firecrackers. Dayum. Ahh where should I start.. Today was awesome. Out of all the years we've trick or treated, this was prob the best. We walked for an hour and a half. Man my heels are killing now.

Haha Tristan's word SAMMICHES'!

Didn't think a lotta people would have dressed up in school today, since they didn't really make an announcement or anything. But yea there were actually quite a lotta people who were in costume. Everyone kept poking my hat! There's this urge to push it down since it's so tall. lol. Mr McKay was making ballonimals in the morning. It was so cool. How awesome is it being a part time clown.

I didn't really get nice pictures. It was too hard. Chelsey was a robot. lol Sarah was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and I guess Chelsey was supposed to be the Tin Man. But she looked more like a robot. Justin was Mr Incredible. Haha it was so cute, his costume! The shirt was tight and he had the whole logo going on and lol he was in spandex and he had red socks pulled up all the way to his knees. That's so cool. His costume last year was pretty cool too. Jughead. Hehe.. Omg.. Jethro.. he was wearing a tight pink shirt with shorty SHORT shorts and a red bandanna. O god.. Apparently he was supposed to be that girl Jessica Simpson played in Dukes of Hazzard. I don't know her name.

We missed the FHN meeting again. Well hey Sam got Sasha and Chryven to film so.. =P...

School was actually pretty fun today. E.S Plate Tectonics test was posponed tee hee..I finished my homework in Textiles.. Lunch happened.. Marketing happened.. English was a bit of work. But it was cool.. We had to do a literature circle assignment and all I had to do was draw the map of the island from Lord of the Flies.

Lol I'm just speeding through this entry. So yea Lily and Diane came over after school and we hung out for a bit. Mm we had chicken pie for dinner. So good.. Vivien and Eileen were over too. Then Monica and Melissa came over. Melissa's costume was so cute! She was a bumble bee..hehe. Lily finally made it over.. Heh.. Chinese Girl. Oh Lily, everyone's gonna keep bugging you about that now. That was her costume. Lol I guess it counts. So we walked.... and walked..... and walked.. and walked somemore. Man.. it got sooo hot. What a work out...Well hey we got so much candy this year. More so than previous for some reason. We didn't even walk that far out AND we skipped one cul de sac.

The four of us decided we'd start walking back for home and miss a couple of houses. We went to Jonathan's 2 houses down and they had this head hanging by the door bell. Diane..lol.. she decides to poke it with her trident and OMG the thing screamed so loud which made US scream. Lmao.. o boy..

When we got back, there were still people ringing the doorbell. Ugh.. the one time I open the door, Hogen jumps at me... O god I screamed so loud.. then tripped all over the shoes that were piled up behind me. lol. Talked to Adam and them for a bit outside. Yea.. Twas awesome. ahh.. ok I'm done ranting..I'm still so hyped!!

[Happy Halloween]

I still don't have a picture of Joey in her costume. But Imma get it tmr!! It's gonna be so fun tmr. Tee hee.. Jo and I are tigers and Peppers our trusty lil side kick =P.

["One tall mocha frapp"]

So the mall was fun haha.. when is it ever not? We walked so much. I think this is the first time we actually went through so many stores.. actually walked to and fro all across the mall. Diane and I were @ Old Navy trying on these fairy wings. Lmao..the people at the check out were laughing at us. Mm.. Went to Fairweather.. Extreme..Stiches.. Suzy Shier... Gap.. yea.. I saw this crazy hat at Bang-on. Wanted to get it but.. nope.. =(.. We got split up for a bit. Lily and Krissy went to the dollar store. So Diane and I went to Starbucks and got us some Mocha Frapps. Mmmm so good. Heavenly!! AHHH >8D! Haha.. Janette works there! So crazy cool. Diane got me to hold her drink for a bit and the cream splatted on my arm! It was not pleasant! lol her cell was ringing and it took her so long to get it outta her fob bag. XD By the time she got it out, it stopped ringing.

There was this lady signing autographs in the main area outside the Bay. I guess she's some famous person... lol or semi famous. All these black people.. ok.. african american people..were lining up to get autographs and pictures. They had the whole news crew thing going on. Lmao Diane and I walked by this mirror outside the car accessory store and it made our legs go so long. XD

Hmm what else did we do. OO we saw Bettina and Jenn at Ardenes. And and and.. Bryan and Alice from badminton.. Headed to Wal-mart to get some last minute halloween stuff. Lol my mom and sis went out to superstore this morning and they got these halloween accessories. Haha I gots me some devils' horns. >=P!! There were so many people there. The shelves were just a mess. Well we got what we wanted.

Krissy and Diane came over after. We fooled around with the webcam lol and painted our nails white! =P Took forever. Stupid white nail polish. XDD Lmao we have this battery operated spider that falls when you make a noise or touch it or something. I screamed when it sprang down lmao that scared Diane. She screamed so loud. [Lmao.. I still say that beat the time I screamed at the well *shifty eyes* Lmao XD O god] THEN Diane scared me when I turned the corner on the way to the washroom. O_O!!!!!!! Yea.. that was my day. Twas a nice change.

Canucks lost to the AVs again! 3-4. Guess that's better than the 2-6 on Thursday.

Haha who needs sticker photos?

[Dear Jamie....signed sincerely Me]

Charm sent me a song by Hellogoodbye. Lol my name's in it!

Lol we were copying notes in E.S yesterday and Milross wouldn't stop making shadows on the overhead. I thought he woulda stopped eventually but nope lol... he kept going. We might be going to an Imax film next week. Muahahaha!

Score! I finished my PJ bottoms. Haha it's so cool! I can wear something I made now =P. Krishnan wasn't there so it was a pretty laid back class. Lol wait a minute.. it's always an easy going class.

I finally got my marketing project off my hands. Omg, my cereal box is so ooogly. I'll make the next one look good! Just you wait!

Last but not least english. We had to do our book presentations. And as usual.. I was getting all worked up. Ugh I HATE presenting alone infront of class. Urrrrrg... Well she called my name like near the beginning. Got it over with. Lol Bryan was explaining his book. Then he ran outta things to say. He ended with "......yea... it's.... it's a book." Lol it's genius!

So that was yesterday. I woke up early this morning for some reason. 9am and I'm wide awake. Now I'm talking to JESS! She said she can't sleep and its 2/3ish in the morning over there. So I'm keeping her company =P! Going down to Guildford later on with Diane, Krissy and Lily.

[.hello.good-morning.how ya been.yesterday left my head kicked in.

Science went by as usual.. I think that's the only class where I'm actually learning something. Guess Marketing would be second. Milross still has the Imax idea in mind. Muahaha we're gonna go watch Everest or something one of these double block days.

I'm almost done my PJ bottoms. Omg... it's taking so long. I think I could finish it in a couple of hours if I did it at home. Whenever I have a step I'm not sure of, Krishnan's busy. So I go ahead and do another step. Then when she decides she's free she tells me I did it some way she doesn't like. I was supposed to serge the legs but I'd already sewn the edges together which meant I had to serge in a circle. She was fixing the machine next to mine when I was doing it. So I'm sewing and then it comes to the end of the round and I'm like. crap.. how do you end this. Coz the serger has a blade that actually cuts the excess fabric as you go along. lol..so it cut some of the threads when I got around. Whoopdeee Doo? Spent most of the block talking to Jen and Ching. She kept pulling my hood over.. O_o? It was strange.. lol but she's cool!!

More people decided they'd pull my hood over at lunch. lol..Is it that tempting? Jeff crept up behind me and decided he'd scare me at lunch since he didn't see my in the morning. Usually I see him every morning. It's evil. Everyone's out to get me! >

O man you should see how much stationery Ms Averil has. She has all these crazy pens.. markers.. crayons... pastels... gel pens.. glitter pens.. Omg she has everything. And it's not like she's a mom and usually buys these kinda things for her kids. lol I sat in amazement watching her explain our project.

We had to answer this survivor question sheet thingy in english. According to Koch it's an actual test from some "ranger-forest-place" lol..It was so odd.. What do you drink if you don't have water and you're stranded out at sea. Salt water..Urine.. or Seabird Blood.. Answer..Blood.. What do you do when sharks approach you.. Kick them until they leave..Don't do anything they're only attracted to blood... or stick your head in the water and scream.. Lol Sylvia and I kept arguing. And she was right! Apparently you're supposed to scream or yell to make some sorta vibrations in the water.

Had to pick Joey up from Timmy's after school. She was in there with Monica.. yea just sippin' on their iced capps and eating their donuts. Hawwwgh iced capp. On our way back, Peter was talking to someone in a silver car. Then when he headed my way I was like omg it's Hogen. He only saw me after I waved then he slammed on the breaks and did this crazy spin.. I don't even know how to explain it. The tires screeched so loud. Talked for a bit. lol He said he was just driving around. How 'Hogen' is that? lol..

[Back to school...once again]

We went to White Rock yesterday. Thought we were gonna spend an hour or so on the beach or something but nope.. no beach. The tide was so high this time around. We ended up walking down a stretch, into a gift shop then leaving lol. It was pretty nice out, really sunny and it was WARM.

Yea so school starts again tmr. Took them long enough to come to a final decision. Now we gotta catch up with two weeks of school. Ew..

Had this really really weird chat with Diane and Lily this afternoon. It wasn't one of our regular type of conversations. We ended up talking about how there are so many slang words. How a male and female's sex organs have so many different names that even everyday words can't be used without someone laughing about it. Lol so Lily's been looking up words on Urban Dictionary. She's so innocent.. yet... not quite lol. She looked up Surrey on urbandict. and this is what she found :

1. surrey link send redefine 35 up, 2 down

We went to Kirin in Coquitlam for dinner. One of them fancy chinese restaurants. Heh the mango pudding was like 7 bucks for such a measly portion. Savour the moment...?

[Back down that road]

Guess who I talked to today. Jessica! I haven't heard from her in so long. Always busy with work and studying and exams and more exams. She's done her N levels so it's break time. Not for long tho.... she said her tutoring for next year starts next week. =S Imagine that.. I'm here.... with no school... and she's got more studying ahead of her. She can't even enjoy November and December off. Wish she was here right now... that would be so awesome. It's weird.. we hardly ever get to talk.. we never see each other.. yet she's still one of my bestfriends. It's been 8 years.. wow. Don't think I've known any other friend that long.

[Happy Sun Dance]

Brandon said he did the happy sun dance so we'd have sun today. Lol.. well it was really nice out =). We went to this Holly.... holly something Country Club. It's affiliated with the American Club and Pinetree Club in Singapore. They had this map with flags pinned all over the world. Pretty cool~ So we had lunch there and then drove to Burnaby Mountain Park [once again] to check out the view... take pictures..same things we do everytime we have people over. The trees looked really nice. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me.

When we got back, Dustin and Diane asked if I was gonna go play hockey. So I ended up going over to PA with Diane. Met Dustin, Cole, Amy, Simran, Sean and Brandon there. I brought Pepper along to keep Diane company haha XD. I need to get my bearings changed. Hockey on foot ain't cool. And there were all these puddles in the.. rink? arena? court? Haha man.. I'm so UNfit.. I haven't played any badminton in so long or done any running. Running back and forth was so tiring and I didn't even play that long. I ran with Pepper lol. Then I thought.. ok.. Maybe we'll play frisbee with Pepper so he'll just keep running around chasing the frisbee. But noOOOooo..he runs off some other place. And no matter how loud you scream his name, he just doesn't come back!! Grr bad dog! So Diane and I played frisbee in the basketball court lol. They have it enclosed with a gate and stuff. And what happens? Pepper squeezes through the gate. Garr!! Lol.. anyhoo.. other than that it was awesome =)

I don't know why Dustin was in so many of the pics. Somehow he managed to be everywhere in every shot. I uploaded more on webshots

[Seems like just yesterday...]

Went out this morning to get my hair done. Wooo.. man... 4 friggin hours sitting in there inhaling hair chemicals. My mom left me at 10:30ish and I think I was done at 2:30ish. I don't remember having to do so many things to my hair when I got it straightened before. First the cut... then chemical.. then steam.. then wash.. dry... straighten [which was really painful]...MORE chemicals...then wash.. dry.. voila! My head hurts now. But the turn out don't look so bad =P. It's not... like the way I had it done before. It looks... Before it was just straight and flat... This time it looks...Different lol =)

Lmao.. as Diane calls it.. scandaloussssss

When I got back, Krissy phoned up so I went over to her place with Lily and Diane for a bit. We chilled... lmao.. played "Gaia".. I swear Diane it's Gay-Ah!! Watched some TV.. took pics...lol I got a lil high >8D!! Lily gave me this lil chewy red bean thing =P. Wow we haven't hung out like that in so long. The last time the four of us hung out was at a sleepover at the BEGINNING of summer. Ah.. them all-nighters.

[And the days go on]

Ever since the strike I feel like I've been away from everything else for the longest time. I haven't talked to Diane, Krissy or Lily in so long. It's weird... Let's see.. On Weds I went to this open house at VFS [Vancouver Film School] and they showed us this 1 hour dvd presentation on all their programs. It's so cool! Cept.. Their programs are 1 year intensive courses.. 5 days a week, 14 hours a day and their facilities are open 24 hours a day for any student who needs to use equipment. It's over 16 thousand a year and there are only 3 weeks in the entire year that you're off school. It looks so cool in there tho. All the programs that go on.. !!!!!! One of the counsellors viewed my portfolio. Well she said it was good. =P Ahh.. now I gotta go check out Emily Carr and see what they offer.

Yesterday, I went over to Brando's and he taught me how to play the guitar and stuff... wrote a buncha notes for me to practice. Then Dustin phoned up and asked him to go play hockey. So we went down to P.A...Met up with Sean... Doug.. Ryan.. Wesley.. then Dustin, who planned the whole thing came late with his friend? Cousin? Lol.. I got to drop the puck! Chyeaa~!?!? XD lol..Yea it was pretty cool. I need to change the berrings.. bearings? on my blades. They squeak.. not cool..I think I wanna get nicer wheels too. I don't know what it is.. The new ones I got just... click so much...They're so hard.

Went to Simran's today. Lmao.. to bake a cake? We watched Save the last Dance then went upstairs to make a coffee angel food cake. Cept... hmmm.. I think we kinda did it wrong. The recipe said to beat 12 egg whites until it was foamy. But we used this weird blender thing and it kinda.. remained liquidy. Then Sim put the splenda in and it kinda.. remained watery.. lol.. not good. SO we called someone up and they gave us this other recipe to follow. And since we had 12 eggs in there, we had to triple the recipe. Man.. that's one huge cake. A whole block of butter. And 5 3/4 cups of flour. After the last cup went in, the mixture was kinda.. dough-y so we had to add milk. I guess it looked ok after a while <_<... >_>....

Sim's mom gave me this potato thing she was cooking. I watched her take it RIGHT off the pan and place it on a plate for me. I thought Sim was gonna give me a fork or something but.. nope.. she just picks it up with her hands. So I was like owieeeee and when I put it in my mouth. BAM.. whoa..It just set my throat on fire. Not cool. Lol Then my eyes started to water. Just WHOOOOOOAOOOO.. The spicy-ness went away after a while. But man.. my whole body was feeling so warm after. It tasted really nice tho.

We were watching the game and Sim was trying to explain the rules and all to me. lol.. I didn't really get it. My mom picked me up and we went to the library then left Joey at Clayworks then we walked the mall for a bit. I haven't been to the mall in so long.

Lol Sim just told me that the cake was a success. Yay? Our "disaster" of a cake. Everyone at her party loved it. Now.. what was our recipe? It was a buncha recipes put together.. We improvised.

I wonder if there's school next week. From what I heard we get next week off as well. Score?

[Striiiike]

Well it's been 4 days and there still isn't any school. My mom said it looks like there isn't gonna be school this week. Score? lol... I wish the weather wasn't so crappy though!!

What have I done this long weekend. Mmm..Thursday was hanging with Diane, Brandon and Jimmy. Friday was hanging with Diane, Dustin and Brandon.. Saturday was my own.. I think? Yesterday was thanksgiving dinner with... everybody.. lol..The Kohs, Cain's family, Uncle SH and family, and their neighbours. I went over to Jimmy's today.. watched Sky captain and the world of tomorrow? Is that what it's called? Yea something like that. Then we went upstairs and he showed me some stuff on the guitar. So awesome haha I got the jist of it.. I wanna get one! I asked around and it seems everyone.. well everyone I asked has the same guitar.. same starter kit

[Coz it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose]

It decides to be nice and sunny out on the day we have a strike. My mom brought Joey out to the library then they went to Superstore to pick up some stuff. They said the teachers outside FH were just sitting there with their chairs and all basking in the sun. Erma's teachers were just walking around school with nothing to do.

I told myself to finish all my english assignments today and leave my weekend free. Well.... I lied~! lol.. I ended up talking to Diane all morning.. hmm... no actually afternoon..then bladed over to her house and we watched My so-called Life followed by So you think you can dance. Saw Mme Thibault, Ms Nickel, Mr Knight.. and some other teachers just sitting out in the sun. Thibault was wearing a sign. I don't remember what was on it.. something long.

[Lmao Diane.. get it right.. Way to go is.. 3 words.. not 5]

Omg so we're sitting there all focused on the computer monitor then Sonya comes running at the door and she yells.. I don't even know WHAT she yelled out but she was like RAHHARHARHH.. God..I jumped.. Both of us screamed so loud. After I figured out she said Pepper! As if that wasn't enough, she did it a second time. I think we sceamed louder that time. lol..just kill me already!! Then Sonya was like.. those two weird guys are coming this way. Something along those lines at least. Dustin and Brandon came by and we hung out with them for a bit. They were on bikes.. I was on blades.. and Diane.. well she was on feet.. [Diane get a bike!] Hung out for a bit. We were at the waterpark and Dustin climbed on top of one of the poles. Omg ONE of these days..someone is gonna get hurt. Lol..No intention of jinxing it. It's amazing watching him climb.

Mm it was a good day off. Wish the sun would keep shining. Ugh tmr I gotta finish my english. Then partay on Sunday!

Got this from Lily and Diane. Apparently Mr Mckay, the info tech teacher is a part time clown. Here's his site. Isn't that so trippy??!

My mom and dad spotted this sign on the way back from school. And for some reason that very same day, I decided to walk the other way back home so I missed it. Crazy how life is so full of coincidences. It probably crosses our paths everyday. There's Alex standing infront of the sign infront of this house on sale. It's funny.. I've been walking home with Alex recently. He's pretty cool. Coincidentally this real estate agent has the exact same name as my dad.

[S-ownD-tairs]

Rain rain rain and more rain..I think it's supposed to be like that all weekend. I was upstairs this morning [as usual] and Jeff comes by [as usual] and tells me that there's no school tmr. I wasn't sure whether he was positive. But I guess if 7 people have said the same thing, someone along the way's gotta be right, right? Double block of English came and went. It was a pretty good class today though.... for some reason.. Usually I dread going to English. It's always so slow and boring. Today was cool.

Played badminton at lunch. Omg Jensen and his smashes. When Jensen came on it was like.. constant smashing *pow pow pow*. Mr Gordon was sitting there watching us play in amazement. Well watched Jensen play in amazement.. lol

Ah textiles..I bet if I had done my assignment at home I woulda been done the day I bought the material. It takes so long to do it in class. There's this girl, Ching.. Ah she's so awesome. She's got this character that's just.. so...so... it's so.. I don't even know what the word is. She's so easy to get along with even tho she can't really speak english properly. But I love her! She's so cool! Her sling bag.. It's the shape of a fish and she made it herself. Ahh! Ok yea..But she's such a cool person.

I had Jim, Brando and Deano come over after school. We stood in the rain and waited for Brandon's mom to come. It wasn't pleasant. Lol Diane flags down Edwin and makes him stand with us coz he had an umbrella. Then she hits his arm and all this water comes splashing down. Not cool. We watched Constantine. Lol Jimmy kept asking questions that would be answered in the scene to follow. Then Brandon would give him this look and Diane wouldn't stop laughing. Twas cool twas cool. I was freezing just sitting there. Jim left.. then we started School of Rock. Then Diane had to go so Brandon and I walked to school to wait for his ride. Yea we walked in the rain. It wasn't so bad at first, then the wind decided to blow and Brandon only had a wind breaker. We waited.. and waited.. and waited somemore. But no one came so we ended up walking back to my place to use the phone then he ran back to school again. Lol I was worried his dad didn't come or something. Phoned him after to make sure. Somehow I didn't feel cold after, more like.. refreshed. Usually I feel so cold that my fingers go numb. But tonight I felt perfect. The one day I go out and get wet in the rain, I don't feel cold.

Teachers are on strike tmr [yea that's why I had friends over]. It's so stupid, not that I want school or anything. But teachers have to go to school tmr.. no not even to school... outside school and they have to take shifts in the protest? Who's gonna watch?! Most teachers probably just want to be in school and in their classrooms teaching. Well... from what I've read it's a one day walk out. But it may spread on if something big happens. 4 day weekend?! How am I gonna survive going back to school after so long?! My brain's gonna be toast! I like the school year in the US.. It's something like 8 weeks of school with 3 week breaks inbetween throughout the entire year. Why can't it be like that here? Instead of a buncha itty bitty breaks here and there and a full blow 2 and a half months in the summer.

Well..anyhoo.. it's late. Time for bed.

[Hand me down]

Awww we went over to Cassady's [?] house to look at the new litter of puppies. They're so little!!! They look just like Pepper when he was little!! There were four of them, apparently one died due to a hole in the heart. =(... So there's.. Buddy who's exactly like Pepper, Samson, Squeak, & Delilah. Shooo adorable. I shoulda brought my cam.. Darg.. totally slipped my mind. Hah we all agreed that Pepper's still the cutest.

Hoo look what I found...

2 years old?

[#1: Condo, Maple Woods #2: Me, Jess, Shuj, ice skating]

It's been.... what 3.. 4 years? Crazy how things change over such a short period of time. One minute you're here, the next, you're some place you never imagined you'd be.

[#3: Me and Shuj, I think grade 5 #4: Shuj, Kari, Me, grade 6]
We used to go boating on Good Friday every single year without fail. Good times~

And snap.. here I am, 3 years later...

Mm so today we had that taste testing survey in marketing. Ugh I shouldn't have had breakfas..felt so sick after. We went through cheese, pop, chips, pudding, nuts, juice, chocolate, biscuits, cookies, more pop. And mozarella cheese ain't cool eaten alone. Helen didn't want to keep it either so I had 3 blocks of cheese sitting in my backpack all day. Other than the gross feeling after, it was pretty fun... something different instead of always notes, assignments and tests.

[C'est la vie]

Ever feel like there's just one thing you wanna do but you can't. And if you don't, you don't feel like doing anything else at all. Then you're just stuck... trapped in some place you can't get out, you can't move on.
