IM BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!


i was on hiatus for a while

lol

i just returned from Leadville, Colorado which i have to admit was an amazing experience even though it was crazeeee cold.. i think the coldest it got was -12 farenheit which is -24 degrees celcius.. it was THAT cold..

but it was amazing all the same..

i like skiing..

its the cold that i can do without..

but now i think of it..

i did kinda enjoy the cold.. snow..

i wish there was cold snow without the COLD..

its 2.28am on the 1st of January 2008..

POST!!!

omgawd.. i havent had time to blog.. for real.. so NEWSFLASH

I GOT MY REPORT CARD...

3As and a C..

Just talking about it makes me soo SO mad.. i got a C IN GYM.. how the HELL do you get a C in PE.. my teacher hates me.. i got 87 on the fitness score..and she says its above average.. nicee.. but i get an 82 in the class.. i honestly wanna wring her neck and just ask her WHHYYYYY.. its not like i dont dress out or whatsoever.. i DRESS OUT and i WARM OUT ALL THE TIME.. and she claims i never participate.. ugh.. anyway.. my other results are pretty good.. i m quite pleased with them..

World History - 96% - high A
Algebra II- 94%- Low A
Choral Arts- 98%- high A
P.E- 82%- high C

I know.. a 94 is considered a low A. its so high standard.. so my GPA is 3.5... stupid stupid stupid.. i was aiming for a GPA of 4.0 and i was quite sure i could do it.. but thanks to my GYM teacher who i really love with all my heart.. NOT. i got a 3.5 and i have to make a 99 in health to make an A in gym/P.E.. just so you know the grades average out.

i wouldnt care if it didnt affect my GPA..coz i dont give a care about PE.. not here nyway.. but still the saddest part of it all is it affects my GPA.. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.. hate the grading here sometimes.. sux..

and its starting to get cold.. i think the temperature for today is 4*C i dont have a degree icon.. i too lazee to open character map.. nyway.. its sposed to be below freezing tonite.. NOT looking forward to that..

But i have got to go now.. coz i m actually in school posting this when i m sposed to be doing stuff on the French revolution.. but i was working on it the whole period. so i decided to take a short break.. nyway..

i ll post more when i m freeee..

have to work tonite

and have 3 health assignments due..

only god knows why we have assignments for health.. UGH

cept a football (rugby balll) got thrown from across the gym and hit me SMACK IN THE FACE! [actually it sounded more like THUUMP than smack.. just thought you d like to know]

it hurt so bad..

I started crying in front of everyone.

Imagine smks9's hockey field.

Imagine the ball being thrown from one end to the other.

Now..

Imagine it hitting poor elena kon's face and smashing her pink glasses against her eyes.

NOW

Imagine Elena Kon holding her face and crying.

Painful isnt it.

YES..

It was SO PAINFUL.

And if it didnt hurt so bad i was ready to bodyslam the guy who threw it at me.

But he apologized.

And being the big hearted GREEN UNRIPE Banana I am..

I forgive but i DONT FORGET..

Thats Bananas for you.=)

Monkey See, Monkey Do


Americans are a weird bunch of ppl... kinda sorta.. they pronounce things funny..

like the word HERB..or name HERB.. its pronounced ERB like hour is pronounced OUR.

and they have never heard of the word.. JUNCTION.. its always turn right at this street. or Make a right at the turn.. never JUNCTION.. weird ey?

Oh.. and the word eraser? you know how we say it like eraZer.. they say it eraSER.. like SER as in SIR..

and they have sooo many southern slangs [yes NC is in the south] like Potato.. its TATER.. or spud? i think..

oh i got my COAT in the mail ytd.. i would say id like it better if it FIT better.. makes me look BIGGER than i actually am if you get what i mean..

and also... i got my 'room' back. Leena's mom and aunt went back to Finland on Thursday. Omgawd.. if Daddy/mommy/family came to US.. i would never want them to go home.. >.<

OH MY GOD! i lost my pencil box.. this time i never found it back.. man was i pissed.. i had a dress fitting for my choir concert apparel and i also had to go to work. so it was kinda RUSHED..

so after i got my dress and everything.. i grabbed my stuff off my chair and started dashing towards the car.

i distinctly remember putting my pencil case in my bag coz i remember seeing a bag of ruffles when i opened my bag.

and NO.. i didnt put nything else in my book bag just in case you think i THOUGHT i put my pencil case..

maybe it dropped in the hallway and some jerk took it and didnt think. ''oh some pretty asian girl must have dropped it.. i should give it back to her'' MORE LIKELY THAT JERK WAS THINKING.. ''SWEEET... STUFF I HAVE NEVER SEEN B4.. AWESOME'' and walked away with my pencil case..

whoever you be.. i ll find you.. if i see ANY of my stuff being used in school for eg. My Faber-Castell Pencil OR my SINGAPORE PENCIL.. you re DEAD MEAT. honestly i will make you wish you had never laid eyes on my pencil case.. I WOULD STAPLE YOUR MOUTH WITH MY M'SIAN STAPLE.. i will STAB YOU WITH MY 2B PENCILS [they use HB here] and i will CUT YOU WITH MY RULER.

they only think i really WANT back from my pencil case is.. my badges.. you all know SANDRA gave em to me.. and some i bought my own.. and it has the prettiest MALAYSIA badge.. its the cuti-cuti Malaysia logo.. and my RULER..the rulers here SUCK.. and my stapler.. all the NORMAL staplers here are so bigg-asss.. and i want my mechanical pencils back.. and i have one bead-covering on one of the wooden pencils there..

thats about it..OH AND ALL MY DANGLY TRINKETS/KEYCHAINS.. ugh.. i hate ppl.... MY MONOKUROBOO.. *CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

if nybody feels like sending my those pasar malam trinkets.. the handphone straps/keychains whatsoever.. you MAY feel inclined to do so.. those are WAY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY cuter that the ones i have seen so far.. =)


NanaBanana is SEARCHING FOR HER LONG LOST PENCIL-CASE


PS: did you know punchers as in hole-punchers here are so stupid i want to die? the max amount of paper STANDARD 3 HOLE PUNCHERS CAN PUNCH IS 3 FREAKING SHEETS OF PAPER.. and the 3 hole concept is stupid.. i like 2 hole wayyy better

I say WHAAT?

it seems like i m bloggin once a week. hm i m sorry.. been bz with school and work.. anyway..

i got asked to the homecoming dance..=) by a GUY.. whos MY AGE.. BLUEK.. hahaha

but i didnt go. i had to work. and i know you guys are gonna you guys are probably wondering why i dint ask off.. too many high schoolers asked for off coz of homecoming.. so i couldnt just ditch them on such short notice..

but all of last week was spirit week..

monday was PAJAMA day... so comfortable.. basically you go to school in your bananas in pajamas PJs.

tuesday was gender bender. dress up like the opposite sex. omg. it was so funny... you know how guys wear their pants so low that their boxers show? haha girls did that.. they wore their pants so low.. and they wore boxers and juz taunted the guys.. but some guys did dress up as girls.. this guy actually wore a french maid costume.. and another wore a sexy lil red dress.. he looked SO much like a girl.. until you came to the legs.. OOO HAIRYYYYY!! hahaa

wednesday was decade day.. you get to dress up from a certain era.. like the 50s 60s bla..it was facinating

and thursday was sports day.. JERSEYS galore.. no david becks jersey.. not gonna wear..

and friday was spirit day. was the day ppl wore school colours..which are black blue and white.. and those who wore white shirts painted stuff on it like.. GO WILDCATS [our mascot is the same as high school musical.. exciting aint it.. NOT]

and friday we also had pep rally.. like.. it juz go to the bleachers near the football field and just scream to show who has more spirit.. of COURSE the seniors would win. RIGHT? whatevr.. the juniors were the loudest. AND we won the spirit link (ppl buy like links to link together to form a long chain.. its basically making those little paper links.. like one circle.. and another circle. those kind.. i think it was 5 bux each... OUCH] bbut it was fun.. and i got to see cheerleaders perform.. i recorded it.. have SOME pics.. not much to take.. but i ll probably post the video or smth.. just so mayb smks9 can form a cheerleading squad.. and copy their routine.. (AS IF)

saturday and sunday i spent at kelly's house painting.. she s moving in today into her new house.. so she wanted to get it painted over the weeekend.. so.. i helped her.. with 5 other ppl on saturday and on sunday with 3 others. but i gotta say.. i m a good painter. there was some confusion with the shade of gold they bought though.. the first coat we used old gold 6.. and then we ran out.. so her mom had to get more.. and she got old gold 5.. a tone darker. and then we ran out of that.. and then instead of gettin old gold 5 we got old gold 6. =.= it was really frustrating.. not gettin the right colour.. but it looks really REALLLY pretty now.. i think we did really good.. of course i got paint all over.. being elena and all.. haih.. i got paint on my socks.. did i mention they were white? i thought i could take em off.. but we lined the floor with plastic.. so it stuck to your feet and you couldnt walk properly.. so i put my socks on.. walked easier.. got paint all over.. oh well.. you win some you lose some.. and then i laughed at a joke so hard that i fell backwards into a tray of white paint..=.= typical elena behaviour.. mommys probably gonna scold me and say.. SEE LA.. Monkey..=)

we painted her bedroom a dark burgundy which is kinda like really dark purple-maroonish.. its so prety against the white door and window frames.. but i had fun.. only i had to use nail polish remover to get the stuff off my hands for work.. i spend half an hour in the bathroom tryin to look PRESENTABLE.. it was THAT bad.. thank god for long pants and sleeves.. it would have taken me WAY to long to get the paint off the other parts.. like my legs and arms and shoulders..

but all in all it has been a good week.. i still havent gotten my phone. was supposed to go today.. but eric decided to bail on me. told me to sit down and work the details out with alex.. whatever THAT means.. haih. im kinda disappointed.. i thought i would be sitting here typing this with the gorgeous red thingamajig sitting nxt to me beeping when i get a text.. but NO.. haih.dont noe how long more.. its really stupid .. i want it NOW..


NanaBanana is CRAVING HER MOTOKRZR.. its calling out to me!

WOOPIIEEEE!!

Finally! after a LONG struggle.. (who am i kidding[?]) i finally got an A in ALGEBRAA!! and not only an A.. its a A+ and THE HIGHEST IN THE CLASS.. wakakkaa.. i got 101/100.. i SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 102.. i was carelesss. >.<

ANYWAY.. this weekend i was busy busy.. i worked on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.. on saturday i was juz working some bride's lunch.. with Linda.. omgawd.. ppl at work really love me.. hahaha.. i wasnt feelin well.. and she made me honey and lemon.. and gave me the mug and said go take a rest.. hahaha.. she 'officially' adopted me.. ahahhhaha.. <3

then sunday.. worked lunch at the tavern.. i should serve soon.. MUST.. SHOULD.. really slow day.. i got like 8 to-gos.. and i goofed up on one.. they ordered 5 custom made sandwiches.. and 4 of them were turkey and cheese.. i forgot to key in turkey in the computer.. ahhaha.. Scott came out of the kitchen and was like.. all they want is cheese? i m like.. errr.. turkey? hahaha.. but i DID remember to put roast beef on the last one.. ahhaha.. i was being flustered.. nyway.. Scott gave me a COOOKIEEE.. which i shared with everyone.. it tasted good. =) Scott is nice..

Monday.. OMGAWD MONDAY.. ALLEN TATE FUN DAYY.. for THEM.. honestly its a waste of TIME and MONEY to hire PEOPLE TO COME IN ON OUR DAY OFF TO PICK PLASTIC PLATES OFF THE DINING TABLES WHEN THERE ARE TRASH CANS ALL AROUND THE ROOM.. its SO effing RETARDED.. SO SO STUPID.. omgawd.. they re stupid plastic plates.. and they just need to thrown away.. honestly i think sometimes The POint is SO superficial.. >.<

And we had to wear Polos.. thats fine.. but its also quite dumb to tuck them in.. ESPECIALLY if you re a girl.. do you know how short girls polos are.. and you want us to tuck them in? when we're wearing kinda sorta pants that are high.. omgawd.. stupid.. we had to work hard.. it was a mess.. and we still had to set up for wednesday buffet.. and tuesday lunch. meaning.. clear the WHOLE room of BIG tables.. and set up the usual ones.. a P.A.I.N. I.N. T.H.E. B.U.T.T

we got out at 11.30.. the point has a rule that they wont keep their high-schoolers past 10.00pm.. but legally they CAN keep us till 11.00pm.. but we had so much sh*t to do that they kept us till around 11.20.. yea theres a law that says you cant keep those who are still in high school past 11.00.... kewl! but i had homework to do.. so i stayed up doing math problems till about... hmm.. 11.20? and i was so tired i slept in my work clothes.. I KNOW ITS GROSS.. but i couldnt help it.. i wanted to shower.. but the shower makes a WHISTILING NOISE.. liek it squeals.. kinda sorta.. so you can hear it from downstairs..i dont want to wake the whole household up..

so today we had a history test.. i missed 4.. i dont noe how the teacher is going to count it.. but he said the highest is 97.. PLEASE [even though the math doesnt add up] LET IT BE ME.. I NEED TO MAINTAIN THE ALL As. and so far.. my average in that class is 101.. it needs to STAY IN THE 100s OR AT LEAST THE 95s.. omgawd.. kiasu Malaysian.. its not the kiasu-ism.. its just that the ppl in class annoy me.. so to get back at them is to kick their butt in tests.. ahahha.. whatever.. i m being stupid..

so big news.. i m getting a CELLPHONE.. they dont call it handphones here.. and they dont call SMS .. well.. SMS.. they call it TEXTING.. no msging either.. just TEXT.. *rolls eyes.. nyway..

VOILA!!

PRESENTING THE MOTOKRZR k1m FIRE

Love the RED

prettyy..

honestly its not the phone of my dreams.. my dream phone is iPhone.. but its too blardy expensive.. so i m not counting on that.. and i m not picking a more high tech one.. coz.. lets see.. ITS ONE OF THE MOST HIGH TECH ONES.. i noe.. seriously.. we re in America.. i xpected like WAAAAAAAAAAY high tech.. but now i think of it.. it kinda makes sense they re not so into the high tech stuff...as compared to us asians.. Westerners like PRACTICALITY .. Easterners like SMALLICALITY.. i invented that word.. in other words.. ang mohs dont care if its big and bulky or has an antenna (yes their phones still have antennas that can be pulled out) as long as its PRACTICAL and not COMPLICATED.. we EASTERNERS.. like how small and stylish it is.. and how slim and all the features that the Westerners havent even heard about.. ish.. Go ASIANS!! i m being racist.. whatever..

so.. sadly i picked that phone as the one that is up to my standards.. its is kinda pretty.. and it IS red.. and it IS slim.. only motorzr is so out in msia.. i think.. i mean it IS popular but it came out like a while back.. nothing wrong with that.. i mean if its a good phone then why not RIGHT? whatever.. NYWAY.. its gonna cost me 25 cents (US CENTS) to SEND AND FREAKING RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL SMSes.. SEND AND RECEIVE.. who pays to receive nyway? STUPID STUPID.. ugh.. that rreally REALLY digusts me.. so.. i dont THINK i will be smsiing you guys back home.. with the exception of daddy and mommy.. and baby.. n san n soh.. but DON'T be counting on it.. its like RM0.90 to send and RECEIVE msgs.. and i dont think unlimited texting covers that.. so.. haih..

Oh yea.. Frank's last day this thursday.. HE SAID HE WAS COMING IN ON MONDAY.. liar.. im gonna annihilate him.. with metta.. Lolx.. inside joke.. between the Kons and Buddhists.. ahha.. hey sharing is caring.. so.. lets LEARN

WORD OF THE DAY

TALE OF THE TWO TAILED PIGGIE-WIGGIES

AHH.. finally.. the long awaited tale.. ahahah

sit back

relax.. and Read the story.. haha

okay.. the story unfolds on the sunday two weeks ago.. when i went to work brunch as usual.. Alex was was working too.. so he took both of us to work.. and i tied my hair in TWO.. so i was walking and JOSH the dishwasher said.. i haven't seen nyone in pigtails for a really long time.. and he made some comment that i dont remember..

Now, i have always thought that pigtails referred to braids.. or plaits.. so i was like.. they re not pig tails.. they re juz hair tied into two pony tails.. and then he asks linda.. and linda says theyre pig tails.. ponytails are when you tie one.. =.=lll

END OF SCENE 1

Then after watering a table.. i went to the back hall.. and i saw fern and jake.. and i immediately asked.. WHY are they called pigtails? Pigs dont have two tails.. I HONESTLY WAS SURE THEY WERE NOT PIG TAILS.. and then jake goes.. Pigs have two tails.. Dont you know? i m like WHAT THE HECK?? NO SUCH THING.. and he continues.. well in America, we genetically modify our pigs to become bigger so that we can profit more from it.. and i m like.. HUH? since WHEN? and then my ever so trust-worthy friend Fern, chips in.. yea.. even in tomatoes.. they have chicken genes in them..

and then they leave.. i m like confused. NEVER in my life have i heard of such things.. and then i ask JJ the chef.. Do pigs in America have two tails? and he goes.. UH huh.. dont you know.. and he says.. Phil [another chef] pigs have two tails right? and Phil goes. heck yea.. and i m like.. wth?? and then Josh chips in and says.. You want me to bring you to farm? All the pigs have two tails! AND I WAS LIKE.. no EFFING WAY.. and then i ask ALEX.. and he goes.. yea.. dont pigs in Malaysia have two tails.. and i said.. NO..THEY DONT!!!

so i was really REALLY dumbfounded.. like i said.. i have NEVER EVER EVA heard of pigs with two tails.. i have heard of the pig with two heads.. but not tails.. then jake comes in and i ask him.. so you re tryin to tell me.. that pigs in America are genetically modified.. so basically they are 2 pigs squashed into one to become bigger.. but the tails are left behind? [i was being stupid] and he goes Uh huh.. thats the concept or smth like that.. so okay

end of scene 2

like 30 mins later.. Jake comes back in and says.. we were just messin' with ya.. i m telling you now coz fern isnt going to.. and he goes away laughing.. and i m like JAKE! SH*T!!! and he was like.. you TOTALLY bought it... i m pretty good and he was praising himself.. but honestly the way he said it.. was totally believable.. i mean.. OMGAWD.. he didnt hesitate.. he juz talked.. smooooth.. i m like.. whaaaaaaaaat? although the story is kinda NOT believable the way he told it was like.. okayyyyy.. PLUS FERN... added that little fact about the tomatoes + chicken genes.. which is TOTALLY true btw..

but ANYHOW.. SHE FREAKING TOLD EVERYBODY TO TELL ME THAT PIGS HAVE TWO TAILS IF I ASK.. AND EVERYBODY TOLD ME THAT PIGS HAD STUPID @#$%^%$#$%^ TWO TAILS!! AND EVERYBODYYY TOLD ME THAT PIGS HAVE STUPID CURLY PINK TAILS!! ugh.. I WAS SOOOOOOOO EMBARRASSED.. omgawd.. UP to a POINT WHERE JOSH THE MUNGON SAID.. i was a DITZ. and i should be BLONDE.. (ditz is somewhat like a bimbo..) Omgawd..

and Frank.. omigoodness frank... i should have asked him.. my MOST trustworthy pal.. [fern is my trustworth pal too.. but look what she did to me =.=] AND HE WAS LIKE LAUGHIN AT ME.. and SAID.. THEY GOT YOU GOOD ELENA.. YOU GOTTA ADMIT..THEY GOT YOU GOOD! and he made me knuckle him (like put my knuckles and his knuckles together) and i was like.. oh MY GOD! I COULDNT BELIEVE that all of them ganged up on me...

and plus.. everyone knows about it.. they told everybody.. grrr.. stupid pigs and their tails.. i mean i didnt TOTALLY buy it.. [OK Ok I KINDA SORTA DID!] .. and it was believable to me.. kinda.. HEY THIS IS AMERICA.. EVERYTHING HAPPENS HERE.. now i m known as the gullible Asian girl.. first Ken and the David Beckham Incident.. now THIS.. oh goodness.. and fern was having a conversation about gulliblity.. and she was like.. theres gullible written on the ceiling.. and i looked up.. =.=lll ugh... ppl bully ME...

But bottomline is..

I LOVE ALL OF YOU DESPITE THAT TRICK YOU PULLED ON ME!!!

Pissed off..

PEACE TO YOU STUPID PIG-TAILS

NanaBanana Feels Stupid

Ps: it seemed funnier when i wrote it to jie.. is it funny to you ppl?

SAMUII!!!

its honestly starting to cool down in Mooresville now.. omgawd.. i woke up on sunday to go to work.. and i stepped out the door.. WOOOOOOOOOOSH.. a burst of coool air.. omgawd was so cold!! not SO cold.. but i didnt xpect it to be THAAT cool.. i knew it rained like cats and mice and racooons on friday.. but i expected HOT sun and humidity.. i expected wrong.. fall is here!! apparently labour day marks the end of summer.. how can a PUBLIC holiday mark the end of a season.. [?] nyway.. i ve got depressing news...

FRANK IS LEAVING THE POINT!!!

Omgawd.. my buddy.. my 2nd daddy.. my guardian angel.. my shoulder to cry on.. IS LEAVING.. and i m pissed coz i havent got the chance to talk to him.. my *&%# manager pulled my out of the kitchen.. didnt have the chance to talk.. grr.. apparently.. Frank got a better job at another place in charlotte.. which is where he lives..so good for him since it probably pays better.. and its nearer to where his lives.. BUT THAT MEANS.. no more waffles on sundays? no more prime rib sandwiches.. no more calls of

ELENAA!! HOW YOU LIVING??!

ugh.. i was upset.. i was SO SO SO upset.. although i only know him for like.. july? was it july? or june? i think july 1st? i think july 1st was the day he literally creamed candace.. nyway.. i only know him like for 2 months? it seems awful short now when i see it in black and white.. ANYWAY.but i feel like i ve known him FOREVER.. i guess its the chemistry.. hes 38 and i m like 16.. what else can cause ppl to bond so well. CHEMISTRY.. [the one thing that kon xin hua hates so much] but like i said.. we click.. and he s leaving.. no more pranking ppl.. who s gonna look out for me now? HUH?? FRANK IF YOU RE READING THIS.. which i doubt you are.. YOU HAVE GOT TO TELL ME.. WHOS GONNA WATCH MY BACK..*sobb..*

hmm.. probably Linda.. she was so funny last friday.. i laughed my guts out.. =) Will was gonna swat me with a kitchen towel.. you know how ppl usually spin the towel and then let go and pull it back very fast.. esp benjamin low in smks9.. he was gonna do that to me.. BTW.. it freaking hurts.. back to my story.. he was gonna swat me.. n i was like.. Will!! you better not do that.. DONT DO THAT TO ME.. and juz as he was goin to hit me.. Linda goes shouting.. DONT HIT HER! IF YOU HIT HER I LL SMACK YOU!! hahahahahahaha..

rofl rofll.. lmao!! and linda is in her early 50s i would say.. she's like a motherly figure.. and it was SO FUNNY... the WHOLE kitchen shut up.. and turned to look at me.. It was HILLARIOUS.. hahahaha...but honestly Linda is such a sweetie.. she asked me if she could adopt me.. and she said if she ever had a daughter she hopes that she'd be as sweet as me.. aww I love you Linda..=)

and fern left.. my buddy fern.. LEFT.. all the ppl i noe and like so much are leaving.. its honestly depressing.. BUT.. i m happy for them.. at least they found better jobs that helps them in their career.. =) but that doesnt mean i wont miss them.. ESPECIALLY FRANK WEST.. omgawd.. you re my bestest friend.. in america.. and you re like my best friends at home too [sorry but nobody can replace them] =)

anyway.. i am upset about all the departures.. but i wish you guys all the best.. and i love you.. hopefully we ll keep in touch..

Ps: jie got the letter already.. so the nxt entry will be a FUNNY ONE..and for you guys entertainment.. im prepared to look stupid for you..

Look Out! The Tale of the Two-Tailed Piggie-Wiggies is Coming YOUR way!!

nanabanana OUT!

COMING SOON --TAIL OF THE TWO TAILED PIGGY WIGGIES

i have a funny story to tell.. but i cant tell it.. bcoz i wrote a letter to my sister.. and it was 12 pages long.. and if i tell the story of the two tailed pigs.. i m going to waste my effort of writing the freaking letter.. in fact.. i do not have anything to write.. i mean i DO.. have stuff to blog about.. BUT.. i cant coz of the letter.. so be patient.. a few more days.. like 2 or 3? nyway.. ill think of stuff i CAN blog about..

oh okay.. i got an average of 101 in my world history class.. we have had 2 tests so far.. the full marks was 100 + 8(xtra credit) and 100.. so the average of that should be.. 104 .. and i got 101.. i got 108 for the first test.. and a 94 for the other.. and you know what my history teacher said for the second test? YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE STRUGGLING ON THAT ONE.. i m like.. whoaaa.. i got a 94.. which is an A.. struggling ka? juz coz im a chinese GIRL.. doesnt mean i have to get all correct all the time.. ish.. teachers expect alot from asian ppl.. its like a stereotype.. asians = hardworking +smart + good at math.. lolx.. im not hardworkin or good at math.. i m juz smart.. haha.. but i HAVE been studying.. i juz didnt really study for the second test.. i was kinda tired.. but i still got a 94..

oh and.. i have a dress fitting nxt Thursday.. for.. PROM.. yea right.. hahhaha.. prom is in spring.. nyway.. the dress fitting is for my choir dress.. i get to keep the dress for a whole year or smth like that.. so there ll be a $25 maintenance fee for that.. then i have to buy character shoes.. those dancing shoes.. black.. i think they were 35? and then i have to buy tights/bloomers.. if i join show choir.. which i dont think so.. and i m definitey buying the choir t-shirt.. its so cool.. it had a big QUAVER on it.. and says property of the wagner (my choir teachers name) and i think it says WCVS or smth that stands of the choir thingy.. i m not too sure.. juz think about it..

i m walking and my t-shirt says Lake Norman Choir.. and then some talent scout will probably spot me.. and then he'll ask me to sing for him.. or make a recording for him.. and then i do.. then he signs a contract with me.. and i get to SING.. and i make a chart-topping song.. and belt it out on the radio.. and at concerts.. and juz SING SING SING.. and then i will become FAMOUS.. and everyone will want my autograph.. EVEN DAVID BECKHAM.. when he asks for my autograph.. my purpose of life will have been fulfilled.. HAHAHAHA.. omgawd.. i need to wake up.. haha =)

anyways.. JIE SEND ME A PRESENT COZ I HAD A CRAPPY FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.. IT WAS A GIGANTIC poster of DAVID BECKHAM.. was black and white.. but he looked soooo shuai XD..

and then when i reached home.. i was like.. OMGAWD WHERE THE @^%*#! IS MY PENCIL BOX!! and i was like.. oh NOOOOOOOOO.. i left it at a strategic spot to be thrown awayyyy.. THE DUMPSTERSS [play scary music]
