Catching the Train: Camp

I'm definitely catching the train home from camp because my mum doesn't know the way to Hurlstone. I don't mind. It's just that I pack alot which means, I'll have a hard time lugging my suitcase and bag around. Please catch the train with me and Julia. The more the merrier!

Since the bus is leaving at 8:30 am, I guess I can catch the train on Monday morning too. My dad would probably drive me though. He's too overprotective. The only reason I travel to school by train is because he has to drive my little sister to school. Next year, he'll probably drive us to school everyday. I like catching the train though. It's more fun! MSN me and we'll sort out the times if you want to train travel.

The Things I Love: Collage

I had Weeowiser today. We talked about what's right and wrong in a relationship. The Doritos chips and lollies were the only things that I was interested in though. We made collages of the things we like as well. Apparently, this collage is something I can look back to when I'm feeling down and hate life.

The only magazines that were given to us were Total Girl and Better Homes magazines. The things in my collage briefly show what makes me happy. It could have been better if I was given a fashion magazine *wink. When you guys feel down or unhappy, feel free to look at my collage. I'm sure it'll make you feel better. Everyone loves anti-wrinkles, McDonalds, shampoo, photos and Airwick! Teehee.

Corny Asian Couple

Today Christie and I sat on a blue seat at Glenfield Station to wait for the Macarthur train to go to sport. Whilst doing so, we saw a playful, asian couple on the opposite platform. They were the corniest couple I've ever seen in my life. The girl saw a butterfly flutter by and started jumping up and down, pointing at the butterfly. The guy started doing the same thing. They then stood with their backs to us watching the butterfly flutter away for a long 30 seconds. Me and Christie cracked up so much. Seriously, they looked like they were in their late 20's! Butterflies?

Danielle gave me the best birthday present ever. Just yesterday, I said I needed new boardies. Guess what she gave me? BOARD SHORTS. I like them so much, thank you!

Last week at bowling (11/11/09) I scored 102 pins. Today I scored 78 pins. I was aiming for 80! My bowling luck has worn off. Even my special pink bowling ball let me down today.

I didn't buy my usual Soft Serve. Instead, me and Carmen decided to check out shorts at Valley Girl. What were we thinking? There was 7 minutes before our train would arrive. A very short amount of time. Where's Valley Girl? At the very last corner of Level 3. We ran like we were being chased by rapists. Yes. Anyway, when we got to Valley Girl, we had a few looks and then ran out. All that running just for a short peek. Oh well, it was good exercise.

Reversing A Tractor

I've never driven anything in reverse before, not even Dodgem Cars. Today, Mr. McAlpin assessed us on reversing tractors. Doesn't he know better not to let Tracey go near a tractor? I was around the 7th person to be assessed. Watching everyone before me do it, reversing looked like a piece of cake. Wrong.

"Tracey." Mr. McAlpin called my name. His voice sent shivers down my spine. I knew I'd stuff up no matter how easy peasy reversing may seem.
"Sir, I've never reversed before!"
"The little 'R' is reverse." Mr. McAlpin said, showing no sympathy what so ever.

I got on the tractor and did a run through on how to start a tractor. Okay, clutch, turn the key, turn on the engine, gear, foot off clutch. Yep no problems...but what did I do instead?
I turned the key, put the tractor into gear, pressed the start button and released clutch. The tractor didn't even make one tiny wheezing sound.
"Need help?" Mr.McAlpin smirked.
"No, I don't need any help sir!" (Asking for help means -1/2 mark)
Luckily, Manisay shouted out, "Put the gear back into neutral." Ahhha, thank you Manisay.

After a few moments, the tractor was moving under me, moving very very slowly. Why? This time I put the tractor into 1st gear when it was meant to be in third gear! I think I've got tractorphobia from last time, putting the tractor in third gear, high revs. I pulled on the throttle lever for more speed. The tractor didn't go any faster! "Third gear!" McAlpin shouted. He knew I was hopeless so he walked to the very slow moving tractor and changed the tractor to third gear for me.

Everything was going fine, until...the reversing part.
I couldn't get the tractor into the pot box. Why? The tractor was coming in from the left which meant that I had to turn the wheel clockwise. I did the exact opposite. If a helicopter was passing by the school grounds, they would have thought the tractor was on a spazz. I went forwards then backwards nearly 2o times! After about the 10th time, I kind of lost it and start gripping the wheel tight and roughly changing gears. Swearing also. AHAHA.

I managed to reverse the tractor into the pot box eventually. I didn't get a great mark, but I don't mind. I learnt alot from my mistakes which were - turning the wheel the wrong way, starting the tractor wrong and squashing a pot. Boy, will I be dangerous on the road. One day when we all grow up, if you see a mad woman swearing in her car while reversing, that would be me.

AHHAAA, Christie started driving the tractor without her seatbelt on. AHAHA.

MOMIJI DOLLS

Today I got off the train at Cabramatta and Thanh greeted me with a wicked grin, flapping her Science Focus textbook in my face. A strange start to a day. Carmen stepped forward from behind Thanh holding out a miniature cardboard box.
"Happy Belated Birthday!" Carmen said.
"Awwwh, thanks Carmen!" I replied, taking the peculiar box. "What is it?"
"Open it up!"
"Open it, open it!" Thanh shouted into my ear. She was more excited than me!
I opened the box. What's in the box? (You know the kids show on TV, laugh man! It's a joke!)
Anyway, I was so delighted to see such a cute Japanese figurine.
"It's so cute! Thanks heaps Carmen!" I said, hugging Carmen.

The Momiji Doll that Carmen gave me is named 'Pixie'. Pixie likes escapology and cups of tea. She's just like me! Tracey Junior. I think that's why Carmen bought it for me. AHAHA.

Yeah, I love Momiji Dolls now. I want a whole collection of them. They're so cute! I must visit Kinokuniya! What sucks about these dolls is that they are limited edition figurines. That means if I'm not quick on my feet, I'll miss out on a doll I want and won't be able to buy it ever again becaise it'll be 'gone forever'.

Kinokuniya, I'll sleep in you if I must.

Early Merry Christmas : From Orthodontist

Today I went for my monthly Orthodontist checkup. My Orthodontist who I assume is in his 20's, decided that today was the start of Christmas. Without asking what colour elastics I wanted, he asked his assistant to get green and red.

I had this saliva sucking tube in my mouth while my Orthodontist spoke to his assistant.

Assistant - "There's not enough light green for her."
Orthodontist - "Really? What I shame! I was going to give Tracey Christmas colours!"

A few minutes later -

Assistant - "Hey! There's dark green left! Will it work?"
Orthodontist - "Yeah, lets try it! (He cackles while saying this)

When the assistant finally removed the saliva sucking tube from my mouth, the Orthodontist gave me a mirror to look at my braces. Great, I'm celebrating Christmas early this year.

Orthodontist - "You like it don't you?"
Me - "No! The colours make my face look black..."
Orthodontist - "No, it looks good."
Me - 'Well, thank you."
Orthodontist - "See you next time!"

I will think of some way to get my Orthodontist back. Ahhehe.

My Friend's Sister's Wedding

I can tell you that this wedding was the cutest but weirdest wedding I've ever been to in my life. My family was one of the first to arrive at Ambassador - Wedding Reception. It was really awkward for us because we hardly knew anyone there except for the bride's mum, dad and sisters.

The lighting in there was really bad. These photos are edited and a little over blurred to look less pixelated.

My mum and dad.

Tania and me. She's my sister.

Karen and me. (Sister of the bride)

Nearly every girl at the wedding was wearing revealing dresses...
Maybe one day I'd start wearing dresses like that. Definitely not now though. They're too intimidating for me. Ahhee.

What I wore -

I'm in a dress instead of my usual shorts. :D

I say 'weirdest' wedding because there was Fire and Brazilian dancing as entertainment at the wedding. The Fire dancing wasn't as spectacular as the Brazilian dancing. The Brazilian dancers were in G-strings, that's why. AHAHAHA. Disturbing aye?

Dancing with fire -

It may look like she's setting heads on fire, but she's isn't.

Awwh. Amazing. Awesome.

Brazilian Dancing -

Mmm, very appealing.

I loved the gift that guests were given. Hershey Kisses! Creamy and indulging.

Pretty boxes aye? No, pretty chocolates. :9

I say 'cutest' because this wedding actually had a slideshow of the bride and groom's baby photos.

The married couple dancing. Awwh.

I hope they stay happily ever after. They have my blessing, so they better!

Oakley Bags Are Fun

Yesterday was a crappy day. The Truong test that Mr. Mai gave us made the day even worse. It was so hard I swallowed my gum doing the test. That brings the amount of gum I've swallowed this month to 3.

I received my Ag and Science results yesterday. I've got to say that I'm really happy with them.

Ag - 60/75
Science - 31/35

After doing the Science test, I came out of the classroom with a bad headache and thought that all my studying went no where. Well, the studying I did for Science did turn out useful.

A note for next years test:
READ QUESTIONS CAREFULLY.

I asked my mum to take this photo for me. She called me silly. AHAHA.

I came home yesterday and saw a massive Oakley bag in the Lounge room. It measured 50cms in length and 48cms in height. I understand that designer brands need everything to look stylish so their bag aren't an exception, but that doesn't mean their bags have to be that big!

4 disadvantages of the huge Oakley bag:

1. It's too bulky for a shopper to lag around while shopping.
   
2. Many trees are being chopped down so a huge useless Oakley bag can be made.
   
3. The shopper will have a hard time disposing of the bag.
   
4. The shopper may get distracted by the bag. (I DID. AHAHA)

Oakley has such a cool slogan. AHAHA.

"Physics elevated to an art form." HOW MAD DOES THAT SOUND? VERY MAD.

2 Subjects Day.

Today was one of the funnest days after Yearlies. I had two periods of 'real' class, Commerce and Maths.

Period 1&2 - Weeowiser. They bring snacks. I learnt alot about relationships today. One of the things I learnt today was that jealousy isn't cute and can turn abusive if your partner keeps doing it. I still think it's cute. AHHAA. I love seeing guys pout.

Period 3&4 - Weren't fun but I paid attention in class. It takes me a lot of effort to pay attention in class. I think it's because I don't eat breakfast on weekdays and get the fuzzies.

Period 5&6 - THE BOMB. I don't like swimming, but I love water jogging. We played Water Polo and Whirlpool and had relay races. The only proper exercise I've done in a month! I still wear a rashie. A hot pink rashie. AHAHA. I got a foot cramp after swimming 5 metres of Freestyle. Well, if you could call it swimming at all. The only swimming lessions I've been to was the Primary School ones. I got up to Sea Horse Level...It's still better than Goldfish!

Photos. Thank you Kat! Try spotting me -

The relays.

I was the only one who still had dry hair after 5 minutes in the pool. Now that's impressive. Okay, not really.

Bobbing heads and bikinis. Interesting.

Danica said I had big boobs. AHHAA. Okay Danica.

Ooh, I look crazy.

The whirlpool!

After the aquatic games, the class got changed and stood around waiting for the bell.
Danica and I had better ideas. Lisa decided to join us too.

You gotta agree that we look attractive with a moustache.

I don't usually do this... --'

I really am such a poser. Ahehe.

I don't usually do this either! The photo was meant to look seductive!

Fun Fun Fun Day.

Macarthur Bowling

Macarthur Bowling - 55pins. Last place. Impressive! Bowling to me, isn't really a sport. All I do at bowling is 'chuck' a heavy ball. Oh boy, that's a lot of exercise. Worse, we eat like crazy straight after bowling. Today, the weirdo bunch (Christie, Danielle, Rak, me) went to Macarthur Square for food after bowling. I bought LARGE French Fries and a Soft Serve. Unhealthy foods are delicious.

Photos taken 'to' bowling -

Danielle's Bikini. AHAH

Our legs...

I've got such a weird expression on my face. Like my tattoo? It means 'fat' in Japanese.

Photos taken at the bowling centre -

Posing in the toilets.

I'm such a tank. Size 14 bowling ball!

A six-pointed star.

Oh Danielle, sexyy.

Photos taken on the way 'back' from bowling -

Stuffing my face with a French Fry box.

Then did the same to Christie's face. AHEHE.

Next week, I must get at least 70 pins down. I'm determined!

A Typical Korean Story Line

I LOVE KOREAN DRAMAS. I wish I could meet a guy like Lee Young Ja. (Bi Rain in Full House) He acts all cool and mean on the outside, but he's full of sweetness inside. AHAHAHA

Before I start ranting about my love for Korean Dramas, these are some things I did on the weekends.

• Went shopping on Saturday and bought a cotton vest.
• Ate KFC for dinner.
  
• Had left over chips for breakfast.
• Finished Ms. Biczo's maths homework.
• Finished English tutor h/w.
• WATCHED FULL HOUSE FOR THE 10TH TIME.
• Cleaned the mirrors.
• Cleaned up the house a little.
• Washed my face with green tea. (My mum tried it out. AHAHHA)
• Living necessities (E.g. showering, eating, sleeping, breathing)
• The only exercise I did - Jumped on the spot while brushing my teeth.

I just want to write about how much I love KOREAN DRAMAS. Two in particular, Full House and Princess Hours. I watched Full House in Year 6 and loved the drama like crazy. I had dreams about Full House and would wake up feeling so happy because I dreamt of Full House. I calculated how much Bi Rain is older than me. He is 12 years older. Awwwh. Bi Rain isn't ugly, Christie! He's hot. AHAHHAA.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND SONG. The English translations are so sweet.
I loved the song before understanding it anyway. AHAHA.

After the Full House phase in Year 6, I went on to loving Princess Hours in Year 7. I loved it so much I showed my grandma-ma and she loved it as well. I remember that one day when I visited her after Church. She stroked my hair and said, "Gosh, doesn't my grandchild look like that girl in Princess Hours." HAHAA. I was so happy.

You might be thinking, Korean Dramas are so lame, every single Korean Drama has the same story line which is -

A guy and a girl are childhood friends. They grow up and the guy likes the girl. The girl meets a new guy who she loves. The old guy is heartbroken. The old guy meets a new girl as well. The old girl gets jealous of the new girl and swirls some trouble. In the end, the old guy loves the new girl and the old girl loves the new guy. The end.

Hey wait a minute, that story line sounds like Full House. It also sounds like Princess Hours, but Princess Hours involves a bit of princesses and princes. MMHM, that's right. I agree that Korean Dramas aren't the most creative, but they're cute and funny, so I like them. I will continue liking them even if my mummy says that Vietnamese Dramas are way better. NO WAY! Vietnamese Dramas are weird.

This entry is such a ramble. Teehee.
