Good music, bad music.

2012-01-18T20:42:00.003+08:00

Tastes of music is always such a controversial or competitive topic of conversation. I don't know why, but it just is. Everyone always wants their type of music to be the most liked, and hence why people always say such things like
"My music is the best!"
"Your music is crap!"
"This is real music"
"Why would you listen to that?!"

Another extremely odd attitude towards this topic is that, when someone puts down our preferred music, we always seem to be so defensive about it. It's as though the music is some kind of god, and if you offend it, then you must guard it with your life, or the music WILL DIE. Wait maybe not to that extent, but you get my point.

There is so much music in the world today, that it's crazy! The range in music is so diverse! From classical music to techno pop, with synthesisers, and old instruments transformed to suit todays life. Much like the guitar! ( FYI : I play the guitar ) The guitar is a relatively old instrument which originated way back as a classical guitar, now the guitar has evolved into an Acoustic guitar, and an Electric guitar! So going back to the point of why people argue so much over music is because everyone has such different tastes due to the huge range of music available. But yet people don't seem to understand that fact, and continue to argue and defend.

Society confuses me sometimes..

This Summer, coming to your nearest cinema...

Wait what? So this summer it's been pretty good. When for a 10 day holiday down south, over Christmas and New Year.

( BTW, Merry Christmas and hope you had a Happy New Year! )

As i was saying before i was rudely interrupted by these parenthesis..I had a holiday, and it was pretty epic, i spent it with my amazing scout friends, and i'm so glad that i did, because they made it one of the most memorable and awesome camping trips i've ever been on! What was better was the campsite was right on the beach, so imagine this...

So we got to go to the beach EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE HOLIDAY. Now that's living!

We also got a new puppy! She's a pure bred Border Collie, and she's the cutest most hyper thing in the whole wide world! She's amazing, but she bites so much! It actually hurts :C I will leave you now to gaze at these pictures!

Bye for now! Not Forever! (:

Procrastination is an excuse.

2012-01-16T11:15:00.001+08:00

Why are the posts always so far apart? It's a habit that most of us have, we suddenly find an interest in a subject, then soon become bored, or forget, or just don't find it interesting anymore, why is this?

Another reason why posts are so far apart is because of procrastination. Procrastination is so easy to do, much easier than doing an actual task of which you are procrastinating. For those of you which don't know what this is, it is when you think to yourself, "I should really go do some study, but I really wanna watch some TV" We've all been guilty of this. Don't deny it.

Excuses, excuses, shame, i haven't been posting, and those are just some excuses to make me feel better for not posting. It doesn't help the fact that i haven't posted in a long time. It doesn't change anything. Although to prevent further occurrences of this mishap, as a new years resolution (which i realise is late to make, but it's better than nothing) is to stop procrastinating as much, and actually get around to do things!

If you're still reading this far, which isn't in actual fact a lot to read, then i congratulate you! Because you've put up with my rambling, now i leave you with something to ponder with..

Why do we procrastinate?

Week 8

2011-09-14T22:23:00.002+08:00

So this week is week 8 of term 3 of school.

Can i say thank god that there is no homework nor assessments or assignments due, cause this week is busy enough in the music and LOTE department...when i say busy, i mean it.

This is this weeks rehearsal schedule...

Monday - Before school : Choir

Tuesday - Before school : Senior Guitar

Wednesday - Before school : Senior Guitar

Wednesday - During school : Japanese Excursion, which was awesome! >:)

Wednesday - After school : Jazz band

Thursday - Before school : Choir

Friday - After school : Wind Orchestra 1

I have rehearsals everyday this week.

But i'm not gonna complain, i actually like being super busy. I dont know why, but i like constantly doing things, even if it makes me sick the following week XD

I know im crazy. What can i say? It's what makes me unique.

Today was Wednesday, and referring back to my super skilled schedule, it was the busiest day, with a Japanese excursion and 2 rehearsals. The Japanese excursion was awesome, we got to speak in Japanese pretty much the whole day, and we had free Jap food, and learnt some new phrases. The day was based around food, and food etiquette. We got to meet a guy who was in the new Australian movie Red Dog. It was my first experience with Native Japanese speakers, who i communicated with well.

Friday night, is the music concert, which is what all this hype with rehearsals everyday of the week is. Right now, i'm so awake i could stay awake for hours more. But im gonna try get some "shut eye?"

- jaakkii (:

So so so soryy...

2011-09-05T21:47:00.003+08:00

SORRY.

I can't really say much more, i've been really lazy, and obviously haven't been updating. So i'm going to start fresh in 2012, cause apparently it's the last year before the world ends or something. I am so sorry, but i am not gonna update you on all the cheesyness of my life in the pass few months that i have not been blogging, but can trust me, it would save you alot of boringness.

...and why waste time on the past, when there is a much more exciting future ahead :)

So it's nearly 10pm, and i just finished english homework. English homework is one of my most dreaded. But i think it's starting to grow on me a little, cause at home, i can actually concentrate on what i'm writing.

I also had a semi-Japanese test today, and gosh it was the worst test ever. Let's just say i failed my listening part, and this is because i am very bad at listening and because the people on the CD speak way to fast. Yes i know english speakers are also pretty fast, but you should hear the CD it's going 100 miles an hour, even the teacher who lived in Japan for a while had to replay the CD to check the answer. Now, Semi tests only seem to occur during Japanese, as the teacher spends half the time on doing the listening part, and then we hardly have anytime left for the written and reading part. She is so kind, she let's us continue in the next period, which means study time in the middle for me!

So i promise these blogs will become more consistent. But then again, i think that's what i said last time, and failed miserably. Maybe you will hear from me, maybe not.

If you're still reading, then i congratulate you for getting through the meaning of boringness, and wish you good day~!

2011-04-21T08:37:00.002+08:00

Hi guys!

Today i was meant to meet up with my friend, but she cancelled. So i guess i'm stuck at home doing nothing. I have 2 options, study, or computer?

I might do a bit of both but i think majority will be spent in front of the computer.

Yesterday was interesting. We have 2 plumbers come to our house and renovate the kitchen a little. We bought a new fridge the other day, and it had a water and ice dispenser. Yesterday the plumbers came to hook up the plumbing. The weird thing is that when the ice is made it'll fall down into the hatch where you can dispense it. But when it falls it makes a really loud noise, especially in the night. =.="

We also got a new sink installed which is really big, shiny and new! The old one looks really bad now.

Go check out my friend and I's youtube channel if you haven't already!

it's been a long time...again

2011-04-20T15:14:00.008+08:00

Ok, i really am truly sorry. Its been so hectic, busy, and tiring. But i guess now that it's the HOLIDAYS, i have no excuse. So that is why i am writing now. So the last time i wrote it was just becoming spring or 2010, well now it's just becoming winter of 2011. Shows how bad i am at keeping a routine.

Well over the summer holidays i took up surfing lessons, which was can i say one of the awesomest things i've done in my whole entire life of living. I only did it for 1 week and a half but i earned 2 levels :D

hehehehehehehe

Me actually standing

For scouts I completed an overnight hike, which is what I needed to complete my second level of badges. It

was a 15km ove

rnight hike. We hiked out to a campsite and stayed overnight then hiked back.

Stopping for a break

The View

Term 1 was pretty hectic as well. Not only did I have my fully packed schedule, but I was also doing my Bronze Medallion for swimming, and rehearsals for The Wiz Musical.

Year 10 is soooo horrible. There is so much pressure. It’s either constant homework, or study for a major test, and when there is a major test all teachers are saying that other subjects don’t matter because their subject is the most important. This really pisses others and me off. ANDD, for every test there’s loads of pressure even if it’s a little quiz, cause it contributes to our marks, and if we don't get past a certain score then we won’t be able to pick that subject in Year 11 and then we study for what we want to do when we grow up. This gets really annoying too ><

That’s basically all that’s happened in Term 1, all 12 weeks of it. I know, it’s crazy 12 WEEKS OF SCHOOL!! AWHMAN, it really sucked, and I’m so glad it’s over. Cause then we get holidays!

My epic friend Zoe and I made a Youtube account which we’ll be hopefully posting stuff to, so go check it out and support us!

OOHHH, another thing. I've got a new infatuation! It's called Minecraft. Check out the website if you don't know what it is, and if you want go check out a video on it on the youtube channel above.

Hope i didn't bore you guys too much!

Lots of love

Spring!

2010-09-08T17:59:00.002+08:00

Hey everyone,

It's been forever since i've wrote in this blog, yet again. I seeem to have this habit of stopping then starting for a bit then stopping again...sorry about that.

Well the title says it all, it is officially spring! WOOHOO, but to me the weather feels like it's just the starting of winter. It's been raining almost non-stop for the past few days.

Last week, we just had the Senior concerts, wooooh. It was awesome! All the orchestras and ensembles were Pro as! They poned. I performed too, i was in the Senior Guitar ensemble and the Jazz band. It was really fun, but the funnest bit was going up to the light box and listening to James curse at Mr Coy XDD

Well 3 weeks till the end of school and I can't wait! I have a major maths test next Friday, and like 3 assignments to finish in 2 weeks, and not to mention all the music practice i have to do, for the Junior concerts coming up next term.

So busy!! ARGGHH, oh well. HOPEFULLY i will be good and not forget to write back in!

Bye bye ^^
Jakki

Busy Busy bee!

2010-06-21T20:48:00.004+08:00

Hey everyone, check the last date i wrote in, it was practically at the beginning of the month! and its 2 weeks later and it's close to the end of the month, what is this! Gosh life is flying by! and the term is nearly over. Yes, an 11 week term just flew past!

Well i've been pretty busy in the last 2 weeks, had a major science exam and a major english exam. Oh and a photography assignment due, and this week i have a major maths exam on friday, and tomorrow a jap quiz. I hate the begginning and end of terms cause that's when all the teachers give their assignments and tests and it all gets very congested...have you ever realised studying is a mixer of the words Student + Dying = Studying sad isn't it...

There's not really much to talk about, just the fact that the holidays are coming up and i'm so phyched but no so phyched cause i'll be away from my friends...

Anyway this was a short post and i am one of the few short posts in the entire blog, so savour it while it lasts!

Another chapter in life

2010-06-03T21:00:00.003+08:00

Well hello again, nothing much really happend on Wednesday, i had English Extension in the morning and we got to use the macbooks! I had never used the macbooks in school before, actually i've never used a macbook before. It was for our reviews, our task is to write a review on a book we've read and then make a podcast out of it.

Then i when school actually started, because english extension was a before school thing, i had a double english, how lovely after english extension...but english was ok, cause we just watched A Current Affair and analysed the video.

After english i had science, and TADAA! I didn't have a test waiting for me in science. WOOOPPEEEE, but the only reason why we didnt have a test is because he wanted to tell us how to do it! Well news flash for him, he should've helped us BEFORE he gave us 2 tests GEEEZZ! So yeah, he pretty much told us that we had to learn our valency's otherwise we were practically doomed in his class.

So after recess i had maths, we had a releif who was from the home economics department, how lame, getting a home ec. teacher to come teach maths extension...it was quite funny though, Katja's piece of paper got drawn on, and had this "depressed emo" looking thing on it XD and then the teacher was like, you need to get a notebook not file paper, it looks horrible (it was pretty much torn on the edges and screwed up XDD)
After lunch which was after maths, was electives! WOOPEE Electives are like extra subjects, ie. cooking, sewing, painting, music, computing, photography, metal work, wood work ETC ETC! So in period 6 i had a single computing extension! yay it was quite fun! We learned more stuff on microsoft excel and learned "vertical lookup". It's pretty much another formulae you can use to look up something in a spreadsheet. It's a pretty cool and powerful function once you can use it right. OhmyGosh listen to me, it's the inner nerd coming out to say hello...ohgosh

Well in seventh period i had specialist music, with...mr chatfield DUN DUN DUN!! If you haven't met him, YOU DONT WANT TO! He is like weird, random, and not to mention EVIL! oh and he favours students and holds grudges on others, i mean what kind of teacher does that, ESPECIALLY the head of the department...Gosh 1 period was quite enough for me on Wednesday, so i pretty much die in a double, WHICH IS TOMORROW, NOOOOO x_x

Well to finish off the day of Wednesday i had Photography and that was pretty cool, i just typed up some documents to go with my assingment and edited photos.

OMGG i'm never going to get through the whole of Thursday...i've tryed my best to "sum up" Wednesday, and i've written like, what, 6 paragraphs...gosh..well let's give it a go shall we :D

So today Thursday, before school today i had nothing WOOPEE socialising time! Hung out with Celine, Ben M, and some random tall yr 10. Ben declared that he is bi-sexual with mr byers :D Well we kinda made him declare it, but apart from that he declared most of it :P.

So first 2 periods i had Japenese with the awesome MRS RAY! wooohoo, i had her this year and last year for Japenese and she is the awesomest teacher in the school i reckon :DD 3rd period i had society and environment with mrs d'souza, she's not my usual teacher. Yet again she's a releif of a releif. She has this thing with staring at people for like 10 mins straight. It's so creepy and then you wonder if you're doing anything wrong or if she's gonna say something to you :S

So moving on to the next period. I had a double Maths with my new teacher Mr Pisano. He was my new teacher because the yr 9's got streameed into their special classes. In term 1 we had 2 tests and those marks would determine if we went into A(dumb), B(normal), C(accelerated), or D(Extension). I was very motivated to get into D pathway this year, and WALA i got it :) I am so happy because last year i was in acclerated and it was a little boring for me ://. Maths pretty much flew past, siting alone forces you to do work and not have the temptation to talk to someone so when you work it goes quicker. That's what i reckon anyway...

Then today lunch time i had soccer training for the lightning carnival! We didn't really "train" we just played a game of "keep it off" and it was pretty unfair because there were like 7 more people on the other team, but i think my team put up a good fight :P So guess what! After soccer training during lunch i had a double P.E after it. OhJoy! P.E today felt like it went on forever!! It just wouldn't stop! But then obviously it came to a stop cause like all things there's an end, like this post is going to end very soon! :)) just giving you the heads up if you're still reading after all this boring stuff :/ sorry for boring you...

And to finish off the day i had a single english, we just watched another video by the Chasers, and then had to right down the "lessons" we'd learnt from them about news reports. After school i had swimming, which was SUPER tiring, as we had to swim fully clothed in the water..gosh my freestyle felt like i wasnt getting anywhere.

So that is the recap of yesterday and today (Wednesday and Thursday). Tomorrow is a Friday and i have scouts in the evening but hopefully i'll be writing to you before that.

ily guys thanks for reading this far ahead, i appreciate it!

xoxo <3 Jakki

dont stop smiing :DD

Tuesdaysss...

2010-06-01T20:58:00.002+08:00

Gosh, i sometimes hate Tuesdays! Well in yr 9 i do...Well i tell a lie, because my first subject of the day is Photography which is fun and relaxing.

Today i edited some pictures i took, which was very amusing actually, and typed up some documents. Then the dreaded day of Tuesday starts. It starts with a single Science with Sanders. It doesnt sound that bad, but it's HORRIBLE! A single period (40mins) feels like 5 periods, so imagine when we have a double science (80mins) it would feel like 10 periods, and we dont even have 10 periods in a day :S

You can ask every single person in our science class and they'll all say, Mr Sanders is a dickhead and needs to get a life. When i say this, i'm serious!! I completely aggree with this because 1) he needs to get a life other than writing "Mini-Tests" all the time and 2) he needs anger management... -.- You never want to meet him, he'll eat, bite, and chew you to pieces. He'll shred you to bits like a chain saw.

Well my complaint about him today is, yesterday he gave us a mini test, like an impromtu test and then gets us to mark it straight away, and then says that he's dissappointed with out marks, WELL he didnt tell us about his "mini test" so we didnt know to study! AND no one I REPEAT no one would waste their weekend just studying for the sake of studying. And so he told us, "i might start giving out more tests soon" and we thought (we = whole class) that he meant maybe next week or by friday, keeping in mind that yesterday was monday. So then we go into class today and he says, "books off table noww! You have another mini test!" and everybody goes OMFGGG, WHAT?! If they didn't aggree with the face that he was a dickhead before this, i'm sure they do now.

Well after recess i had P.E otherwise known as Physical Education. Well that wasnt very interesting. We last did soccer and compare that to netball it's a HELL of a lot more exciting..But it's all good cause i still have soccer training for the lightning carnival (interschool).

Just to sum up the rest of the day, after lunch i had Japenese and we got out recent test results back and i got 24/25! WOOHOO! After Japenese i had S&E and we had a releif releif because our releif was on sick leave or something and our real teacher, well she was on long term servie leave and let's just say i am glad of that :)

So after all classes had finished, that unfortunately was not the end of my day, because me and many others had band/orchestra to attend to..and as a percussionist it is pretty boring. Half the time you just sit there and do nothing. But i'll tell you one thing we do, we text the people who are playing and then their phones vibrate in their pockets and distract them, and we bluetooth songs to each other. That's pretty much what band/orchestra is to us. Haha, and the good thing is, is we dont get caught XD but we dont do it all the time :P so dont tell any teacher about this ok? Unfortunately Derek was feeling a little sick during band/orchestra and Andrew wouldn't cut him any slack at all, he said to Derek "stop being such a woman"..it was quite funny i had to admit but still you gotta feel sorry for him..

Anyway i gotta go, night night, and check back tomorrow for a new post! Round about this time...://

2010-05-31T20:36:00.003+08:00

Yoo, how's everyone? It's been like what half a year since i last wrote in here...well i dont want to make it too long but i have no homework or music practice to do tonight :OO so wooppeeee!

Well as you all know i've been to Sydney and back, and Scandanavia and back! Yes, i've done HEAPS of travelling these past few months and i even got stuck in scandanavia because of that silly ash cloud :// oh well a couple more days on holiday was ok :DD because we went shopping :P But Scandanavia wasn't just ALL shopping and fun, we were there to play music, because it was a "music tour". The schools and venues we played at and the people we played for were so enthusiastic, i can't even begin to describe how awesome they were. They just were! They would clap to the beat of the song, or they would just sit and listen and you would know that they were loving every moment of it. As a musician traveling half way around the world to play for someone, that's the sort of reaction you want :).

Anyway i also went to Sydney in January! It was for a scouts Jamboree! (if you dont know what it is, i suggest you go google it, cause no way am i explaining that to you, i have the trip to explain!) The Jamboree was a 2 week thing in Cataract Park in sydney. Every state from australia went there. It was the biggest event in scouting for australia pretty much. What was even bigger was that pepole from 47 other different COUNTRIES came and joined us too! So we had people from africa, asia and some from europe i think come and join us! It was a massive event and a memorable highlight of peoples scouting lives.

Well the subject title is called May isnt it? Well, that's right, today is the last day of May for 2010! OMG this year has just zoomed past with 2 major events for me. I thought this term would feel extremely long with 11 weeks of school, but hey i was surprised with how quickly it's gone! Did you know in sweden their school terms last for like 16 - 20 weeks?! gosh i would die!

If it's week 7 now then it's only 4 more weeks of school left! WWOOOPEEE! I am so excited because then it is only 5 more weeks until i go for a holiday in Pemberton! I am so excited because we're going to climb a really big tree! I'll tell you more about it when it gets closer.

Well gotta go, got an early start with guitar ensemble at 7:30am in the morning -.-"

See you's all later, and thanks for reading this probably boring but somewhat intersting post of my'n... :D

Also, yesterday my friend Charly came over and we made t-shirts that we're gonna wear to Sydney. It's pretty funky and it looks like fabric paints threw up all over it. It's got our names and all written on it and it looks pretty awesome. Will post pictures up on Facebook. Please go friend me on facebook, Search Jackie Oh and you'll find me cause i have a picture of me.

tuesday tenth november two thousand and nine

2009-11-10T18:04:00.007+08:00

Well you know how i said yesterday was like ordinary, but today my day was very intersting. Today in S & E i got my results back for my Semester Exam, you'd be surprised with what i got, good news, i passed but by like 1 and a 1/2 points..I got 55%!! I am so disappointed with myself, i thought i did really bad in this test and i was right.

So that was S&E, in 3rd period i had Health, you'll never guess what we started learning today, this morning at about 10:15am...we started doing Sex Education...it was terrible, we had to be given a quiz to do and no one answered any of the questions. XDD. It was kinda funny at first but it got better, everyone was just giggling, but apparently we have to learn it in more detail, everybody's worst nightmare!! Thankfully after that it was recess, everyone in Health got to clear their heads from the horrible images, not that i was thinking of any myself :).

After recess i had Computing Extension, and it was Ben's last day in year 8. I think he is going to Germany or something, not sure, but BYEE BEN! So he is leaving and all, so in computing extension, our teacher bought us 3 boxes of pizza because we did very well in a test and for the rest of the lesson we had free time on the computers!!! This was all because we did well in a test and because Ben was leaving. What a great period 4!

After that glorious pizza i had to face Mrs Hojer, i didn't have anything to be guilty about, but when you're around Mrs Hojer, you being there just makes you feel guilty..so yeah, i just chatted with my friend Chryslin for most of the lesson, about the topic we're studying :D.

After Lunch i'm meant to have Mrs Hojer again but i had my guitar lesson, and i was the only one that turned up!! Carissa and Charlotte (year 10's) had forgotten their lesson and came in period 7 when it was actually in period6 XDD So they looked like goofs. But it was good becaues Mrs Rossi got to speak to me like 1 on 1. So yeah...i guess soo..

Now this was the really crap part of my day...After i come back from my music lesson i usually have Science, well on Tuesdays anyway, so i had science, and my science books weigh like 5 kg so i dont carry them with me to music, so i go to Student Services to go sign my name in and go to my locker then go to science, because my locker is like right outside my class, anyway i went to my locker today, and there was a teacher standing nearby, i didn't really think he would bother me and all, but he did =,=. He came up to me and said, "No you are not going to locker because you should have done it during lunchtime" but i did explain to him that my books are heavy and i had music, but obviously it was good enough for him, so i had to go into class with no books or paper.

The worst part is that he didn't let me after i explained!!!!! What a cruel teacher... =.= btw, i borrowed paper to do my work..and had to look over someone else's textbook.

Well i have to go now, oh yeah and wind 2 was good!

ILYA! Jackie xox

Haro' again! Today was a pretty ordinary day...

This morning as in my last post i had Tour Guitar, and only 4 people turned up!! We were given a new song, Teddy Bears Picnic xDD. They actually have a score for that, i was like Awesome. In 1st period i had a percussion lesson which was combined and all the year 8's were in the same lesson. It was pretty cool, i have to learn and practice A flat major, which has 4 flats, b,e,a,d, lol spells bead! When i got back to English Mrs Hojer was in a bad mood as per usual...

Well after English, Science and Maths i had Music! Music is just so awesome, can't get enough of it, everything to do with music is awesome, listening to it, playing it, everything associated with music is basically awesome, i love music, my life is basically music :).

I play 2 instruments, Classical Guitar (since year 5), and Percussion (since year 6). I also participate in school choirs which i started since year 4 and i joined the Australian Youth Choir because they came to our school when i was in year 6 and they like advertised it so yeah, that's how i joined and all...

Well i told you i would talk to you about scouts so i will, I do scouts, i joined at the beginning of last year. I love it, i think you should join too, if you like camping, or doing adventurous stuff, scouts is just for you! Yes, there is badge work as well, but it's quite fun, because we get to learn new things, and it takes you places...

So that's my little breifing on scouts. Hope you join!!

2009-11-08T18:37:00.001+08:00

By the title it's a Sunday, so who loves sundays? I DOOO! -raises both hands-.

Today i had a pretty interesting day...i woke up at 8am and then had breaky! For breaky i had an omelate, it was yummy. Dad makes the best omelates, what does your dad do best? Before i go on and on in tangents i will continue back on track. After breakfast we took Susie the dog for a walk and we saw 8 ducks swimming in the nearby creek, they were sooo utterly cute, i took a video of them swimming! Unfortunately my video won't upload D:<. Sorry guys... After our short walk me and mum went climbed onto the roof of our house and painted the top bit. It now has a fresh coat of paint and weather sheild stuff on it :D. Dad was mowing the lawn while we were painting. It was getting late, about 1:30pm now, and dad decided we would go into the city to eat lunch. We had average roast duck rice. Then we raided Target!! I bought a new pair of shoes, 4 new singlets, and 3 pairs of shorts.

On the way home we stopped by Hungry Jacks and bought 1 soft serve and a medium fries! When we got home i had to do my homework and i am meant to be finishing it off right now but i decided to do some blogging since i haven't done so in quite a while.

Today is my nana's Birthday. Happy birthday to you nana! Have a great one!

I would also like to wish Happy birthday to Jessica Luk and Mokshya Baladge! Happy Birthday guys!!! Their biffy was on the 5th of November!

Back to normal text. Yesterday i got my hair re-streaked or as Charly said "touched-up" but i had some extras in there too :). It's the same colour but heaps brighter!! Here are some pictures.

The 1st time i streaked it In the process My new hair!!

So my hair is all well and beautiful, did i mension i layered it..

Well it's Term 4 of school as a year 8 i feel, excited!! This term every single day after school i have to stay back until about 4:45 or 5:15 at the latest!!

Mondays - Wind Orchestra 1/ Tour Band, which is the most advanced orchestra in the school and plays the most challenging music and is for real musicians!

Tuesdays - Wind Orchestra 2, which is for medium leveled mucisians who are willing to try.

Wednesdays - Jazz Band, obviously by the name is for people who want to play "Jazz Music" and is only for Saxaphones, Trumpet, Trombone, Double Bass Electric Guitars, Bass guitar, Piano and Percussion, FYI i play percussion

Thursdays - Tour Choir, for all people going on tour next year, it's compulsory D:

Fridays - Tour Strings, For all people who are going on tour who play string instruments again, i am only a percussionist in that, although i do play classical guitar but that is not counted as a "String" instrument.

That's only the afternoons, i have very early mornings sometimes too!! Sometimes my day goes from a 6:00am start (waking up) until like a 10:00pm end (Sleep).

Mornings

Monday - Tour Guitar - for all guitars going on tour next year

Tuesday - Guitar Ensemble - for the rest of the guitarists including tour people

Wednesday - Nothing, well catch up on homework time basically :/

Thursday - Tour Choir - Yes, we have tour choir in the morning and the afternoon, but the afternoon session goes from 3:25 (school ends) till 4:30 so that's not so bad...

Friday - NOTHING again catch up on homework, but who wants to it's a friday!! and i used to have year 8/9 choir so next year i will have that on fridays.

I have also had a pretty full on couple of months with Scouts stuff, but i will tell you alot of that in the next post...

ILYA! Jackie xox

wednesday sixth of august two thousand and nine

2009-08-05T20:20:00.000+08:00

Hi all,

Last week was pretty full on, i had 2 camps, in a row. I had my school music camp, which was at Woodman Point, and i had my scouts camp which was at Kalamunda Camel Farm. Sorry to my teachers but i loved my scouts camp better than the music camp, i thought it was better because there were awesome challenge activities.

As you should know, it's now August, -hint title hint-. Well in my school August is a performance month, and don't forget most importantly Festival month. Festivals are what every single music person looks forward to every year. All our hard work from ensemble and band practice goes towards this moment. Because i play 2 instruments i'm in more bands/ensembles so therefore i have more festivals to attend, oh and the festivals, there is one for each type of ensemble.

Gotta go bye!

Well today is my last day at home. It is my last day of school holidays, and my last day of relaxing, as tomorrow term 3 of scool starts. Or in other words "let the year continue". Which is good in some ways and uncertain in others. Good meaning that i get to see all my friends again. Uncertain because i don't know if i can handle yet another term of full on work. But i'm sure i'll get through it.

Onto other news...

My ears have stopped being itchy, which i think is a good sign, because

1. i don't have itchy ears

and

2. my ears are healing!

This thursday i will be able to take these earings out and put new ones in! YAY! :D

Should prolly go now..

Well, today was the last day of my Australian Youth Choir music camp. It was awesome! There was also this dancer, his name was Tyler and he is soo omg... anyway i'll stop being girly and get on with my day.

Well last night, all the "senior scouts" had a meeting together at Taco's house. We discussed some patrol stuff and i'm a new PATROL LEADER!! I'm soo happy, i've always wanted to be a patrol leader and my ASSISTANT PATROL LEADER is Charly. We're both very happy i guess.

Tomorrow, which is Saturday, i have another bit of workshop from the computing one i mentioned earlier this week. We have one more day because we didn't get a chance to completly finish our project in those 4 days. Hopefully tomorrow we can see the final product.

Still need to take pictures of my new look and post em'.

But we're doing something really cool, we're re-building the science building with google sketchup, if you dont know what it is go google it up. After we've finished making it in google sketchup, we're going to publish it on google earth. HOW COOL IS THAT!

After that workshop is done, i have a music workshop for 3 days with the Australian Youth Choir. It's gonna be awesome!

Well sorry for not writing in last night, it was really late and i was so tired. Anyway yesterday i basically stayed at home, whilest mum had a dentist appointment. After her dentist appointment we went out for lunch, but i'd already eaten, so didn't eat. They had noodles -bleh-. After that we went home and stayed there until later. "Later" we went to eat SATAY!! and and and Ikan Bakar, it was soo nice.

Getting on to today, well today we went to the Pasa Pagr (morning market) and my mum showed me all the stuff she used to buy if we lived in Malaysia. They have black chickens here...ewww. After we'd visited all the Pasa Pagr's we came home and packed stuff to go visit my aunty. When we got there, i immediatly started cooking scones for her. Unfortunately it was a disaster. When the scones were in the oven, i decided to go toilet, when i came out they were nearly burned, (very brow), and when i whipped the cream it curdled D: see what i mean it's a disaster TIP: never go to the toilet when baking scones :D

So we stayed at my aunties house from 2pm - 10:45pm. It was pretty fun, i played games with my cousin (6 year old) and i had dinner there, i tell you my uncle is a really good cook :D and now i just got home and am about to go to bed.

oh oh oh!! TOMORROW i'm getting my hair done, i'm getting it coloured, with streaks or something, will be taking pictures so keep and eye out for it.

Anyway until tomorrow ttyl

Well today, i woke up at like 3:45am in the morning! I still haven't caught up sleep and jet lag ect. Anyway i'm writing this post because i just wanted to let you guys know that i'm now currently in Malaysia. I tell you, it's sooo stinking hot, it's really sticky and humid here (and dad i know the meaning of it now) i'm currently sweating my butt off sitting infront of the computer, the fan switch is over there and i can't get up.

Continuing with my journey it was a 5 hour journey. Luckily there was on-flight entertainment. Mum had to pay like 28 RM just for me to watch stuff ect. But i tell you it was SOOO worth it. Mum used it to play sudoku XD (mum loves sudoku) Anyway when we finally landed it was so hot. Very humid, the temperature was 29 degrees celcius!! Man that's hot.

Anyway tomorrow morning, mum owes me a Ham Ching Peng which is this really sweet/savoury bread bun thing. It's got cinnamon and other stuff in it that makes it sooo YUMMY!! Ideal breakfast!

I'm now going to go the my room which has a nice fan going and catch up on sleep and recover from Jet lag.

Well, it's now officially the holidays! The recent dream camp was so much fun! We got to build our own tents and then sleep in them, although it was very cold, Zoe and I had a big duna (blanket) and were literally squished together in a small tent :D.

We got our reports as well!! I got 6 A's and 2 B's!! yay i was so happy! Unfortunately Ms. Spagnolo, my english/form teacher, has left my school, she's gone to get a new job.. :( We'll miss her incredibly.

I have no idea why, but i feel really nervous about tomorrow, as some of you might know where i'm going, i just feel a little bit shaken and nervous, i mean what is there to be nervous about? Seriously...anyway i have to go bed now.

Dad's birthday

2009-06-28T16:46:00.000+08:00

Today is dad's birthday!! WOOOH!! I can't tell you how old he is, cause it's like rude or something. So i won't. But i'll tell you what we did do. We went to stay at a place called Homestead Red. It is down south near York and Northam. This weekend we went to the "Food and Wine" Festival. It was in Yorks town hall. Mum and Dad did the wine tasting ect. and i stuck to the food :D.

The Homestead Red place was a very nice farm, and the person who ran it was Holly, she was very nice. She had 3 dogs, and 1 joey that followed her anywhere. We stayed in the guest house, which was very big. It had 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 laundry and a massive yard. It was like staying in a paddock because it had a padock gate as the gate. We were closest to the sheep padock so we baaed with them all day and night XD. I got to ride on a horse too. We got to trot ect on it. The feeling was so exhilirating when we were trotting, because you would be jumping up and down.

Anyway, this week is the last week of term 2 then it's HOLIDAYS! yay! Right now, it's very bad weather, its raining constantly, windy and very very cold.

huff Term twoo...and stationary!

2009-05-30T20:11:00.000+08:00

Winter, i think, is officially here! But the weather is being really random, it's like cold and rainy one day and sunshine and HOT the next. Anyway this weekend is the Foundation Day long weekend. I have a tonne of HW... mostly English HW. I've done the most challenging one, the essay, which was about Farewell Rocketship the video clip. If you want to see essay email me and i'll give it to you, but i doubt you wanna read it.. lol anyway. I still have a Debate speech to do, a CD label to design (due thursday), Poster for an upcoming disco, and a maths thing.

Have i ever told you how much i love my school, well i'm gonna tell you now cause i really love it, it's like the best school ever! It's got awesome people in it, accept for the pepole who think they're the best and all that, OH OH and i'm going to Scandanavia next year WOOOHOO!! It's gonna be awesome! I'm also going to Sydney! Scandanavia for the school music tour and Sydney for the Jamboree!

This is really random but i want to tell you that i bought a glue pen today because all those really expensive glue sticks DON'T WORK! Don't trust the really expensive glue sticks, they end up shrivelling up and dying in it's hole.. so don't buy the expensive glue sticks they suck, the glue pen i bought was a good glue and doesn't dry up and die in a hole, it only dry's on paper! I also bought a 2 in 1 liquid white out. It's pretty cool, and also i don't like those rolly white outs, they suck cause they stuff up, and if it wasn't for my mum on countless times i would've just thrown away my white outs but my mum the awesomeest mum in the world, fixed my white outs and i could use them again !! :D.

Anyway enough about stationary, let us talk about how fast the year is going, it's like gone so quick, it's like just yesterday i graduated from primary school, ;( those good old days...

Ok...gotta go now, bai-bai!

School Holidays

2009-05-10T12:10:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone! Over the holidays which have just been, i did heaps of things! I went camping twice!! The 1st camping trip was down south to Busselton, it was awesome! I never actually realsied this but we stayed in a challet, our tent. Our awesome tent is an Oztrail tent and is a 2 room tent. We've been camping with it for yonks! I think we should name it soon. Anyway we went down to a Scout campsite and stayed there for about 5 days. It was awesome fun! This time we didn't got to that many wineries and breweries cause you know i'm just a kid and i can't drink YET. So when i can drink going down to Busselton and Margeret River will be AWESOME FUN! It was super fun down south and we got to use our new inflatable canoe! Here are some pics;

Lol me on the DIVEYAK

I can stand on
it you know?

See :P

Trying it out in
the backyard

Staring at it...

Anyway my other camp was a scout camp, it was at Manjadel scout grounds, it was awesome, very relaxed, and it was about World Conservation. I have earnt a badge too. I love scouting, and you know what i'm like only 3 things away from getting my blue level (2nd highest level). I'm also a senior scout now too, for those people who don't know what scouts is. But i know many of my scout friends would read this soo HIIII, AND I'M GOING TO JAMBOREE, OOH, by the way, we're doing some funraising for Jamboree, and it's at Bunnings Warehouse so come and buy a sausage sizzle from us and help us get there!

OK, that's bascially it from the holiday section...but i'll see you in my next post.. XD

Malaysia (sorry it was soo late) read the whole thing!!

2009-01-19T23:25:00.000+09:00

Well, hi everybody that's in the rest of the world. I'm in Malaysia atm...IT'S BEEN AWESOME FUN!! Can you believe that it hasn't been at least a week yet?! Anyway i'm here to tell you about everything that's happend so far starting from day 1.

Day 1

Today we woke up normal time because our flight was only at 1:00pm, but we still had to be at the airport by 10 to check in early. (ask parents if you dont understand i know i didn't.) Anyway the time that was before the flight (the 2 hours) went by soo quickly. Well, we got on the flight, and we got comfy. A kind stuerd took a picture of mum and I. All pictures will be uploaded somewhere, tell you when i update for part2 in Malaysia. Anyway getting back to day 1. The flight was around about 5 hours, VERY LONG!! I thought i was going to sleep but i didn't. Anyway we flew on QANTAS and there was a TV!! I watched Beverlyn Hills Chiuaua because i haven't watched it before. Mum watched 2 movies, a weird ADULT MOVIE, and Mama Mia, she was a little disappointed because she didn't get to finsih Mama Mia because we were about to land.

We got to Changi airport ok. My feet were killing me already by then. Changi airport is sooo BIG HUGE GIGANTIC you name all the big words it's that. It's like 3 times the size of my airport. There were heaps of internet stations, HEAPS all over the place. We checked out of the departure lounge and thought we could check back in straight away. Unfortunately we had to wait 1 hour before the check in counter opened. Finally it opened and we got in, and sat the sky train, looked at all the terminals, ect. Until it was time to board our flight. Apparently the total amount of flight time was meant to be 1 hour, but that included taxing. The real amount of flight time was 25 mins!! SOO SHORT!! We checked out and we met up with my aunty. She was soo shocked to see me. My shortness had knocked her out.

Straight after we got out of the airport we went straight to eat Roti Chani/Roti Prata, SAME THING! Anyway that was my first culture shock. When we got home we went straight to bed.

Day 2

Today we went to do my IC and renew my passport. Oh man i don't want to go into detail of how long we had to wait and how much prossessing we had to do before the form actually went in. All i can say is THEY SPELT MY NAME WRONG AND WE HAD TO REENTER MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE DETAILS...there i said it all. That took at least 2 and a half hours i tell you.

Anyway the passport thing was very quickish...not...well, we had to make a temporary IC and that took abou 30 mins, and then the actual prosses took about 1 hour. So that wasn't soo bad, but it still sucked.

That day the food was AWESOME! I forgot what i had but whatever it was it was goooood1!!

Day 3

Today was the day we went to Taipeng and Penang. The trip to Taipeng was about 2 hours. Sara, Brian and I slept most of the way. We stayed in this little you could say guest house next to my gran-aunt's house. That night we went to a night safari. Let me tell you something, in my opinion i think it was a total rip off. ALL THE ANIMALS DIDN'T EXIST. There was nothing to see. Did you know that Taipeng is meant to be the wettest place in Malaysia. Yeah now you know, my mum also lived there when she was young (born there and grew up there) It was pretty awesome.

The next day we went to Penang, which was only about an hour or so away from Taipeng. I slept again for most of the way, and so did Bryan and Sara. I didn't get to see the Penang bridge at all because i was sleeping coming in and out of Penang Island. We went to stay with Jane my cousin. She's 1 year younger than me. We stayed up until 1am in the morning playing cards LOL.

I woke up pretty early the next day. I packed all my stuff into the bags, because today we were going back to the house. I slept again, for the way back. That night i slept like a baby. I was sooo exhausted.

Day 4

Today we went to Malaca, it was about 1 hours drive from PJ. The first thing we did was sit on the tricycle bike thing. It was pretty awesome because we went to see all the historical things there, after that we went on foot to see them properly, then we went to see a palace. They restored it to how they think it looked like when the sultan used to live there many centurys ago. Some of the historical things are almost 500 years old. All the stuff in Malaca was HEAPS old, like some of the stuff, was built in 1095 i think. Old right? Anyway after that we went to eat lunch. We had chicken ball rice. It was awesome, the rice were in balls not on the plate flat. It was very different!

After that, we went to walk on Jonker Walk. The street was strung with THOUSANDS of lanterns. I bought heaps of things, i bought a wave fan, sticky bubble blowers, and food! On the way back, we went to eat some ice shavings. It was very very very sweet. That night we had Shabu Shabu. Shabu Shabu is Steam boat but Japanese style. It's where you have a built in pot holder stove in the table. It's pretty awesome. There's one for each person. You get the food by taking it off the turning converbelt in the middle. It's like the sushi converbelt. Let me tell you IT WAS YUMMY!

Day 5

Today we were going to KLCC the heart of the twin towers! We were going to the twin towers OMG! The twin towers weren't as tall as i'd imagined them to be, but they were still pretty tall. But the KL tower was taller. First of all before we went into the twin towers, we had to go check out my passport. We went to the Australian High-Com thing. But we didn't have to doanything at all. Oh yeah did i mension WE PASSED THE KINGS HOME! ;P Anyway after that we went shopping under the twin towers. We bought heaps of clothes! We had lunch there and then came back for the afternoon.

Day 6

Today, we went to Sunway Pyrimid. Sunway Lagoon is its actual name. It is famous for the theme park, Resort and shopping centre. Let me just tell you the toilets there are really nice! For lunch we had rice, with some yummy malay food. The resteraunt was facing the theme park and i could see most of the theme park. It was like an african themed adventure world! After lunch we went to do more shopping and then went home.

Day 7

Today we were supposed to go to Genting in the morning but instead we ended up going in the afternoon. Mum had to go visit some people and buy dad's new teva shoes. Then finally in the afternoon we went up to Genting. The hotel room was AWESOME! I haven't stayed in a hotel room in ages. The rides were AWESOME! But the first day there we only got to go on the indoor rides. My favourite ride in the indoor theme park, was the Aero Express! It was an indoor rollercoaster. Oh yeah! There were also bumper cars! It was all pretty awesome, but seriously after that day i was exhausted so i went back to the hotel and SLEPT!

Day 8

Today we were going to the outdoor theme park! I had an all day theme park meaning that i could go on the indoor rides as well as the outdoor rides, but it was all pretty awesome. The first ride we went on was the 'Spinner'. Sara and I, were the only ones on that ride, it was pretty awesome. Then we went on Malaysia's first rollercoaster, the 'Cyclone'. It had soo many drops, like hills. It was soo fast. It didn't go upside down, but it made you feel like you were. The next few rides i had to sit with my 6 year old cousin. I have to admit it was very very boring...but he liked it and that's all that matters right? ^^

Anyway i think the next ride we went on was the 'Dinosaurland Park' thing. It was for my other cousin, who's like a freak with dinosaurs. Then from there we went to go sit the Flying Dragon, it's a REALLY REALLY fast rollercoaster. It goes vertical LITTERALLY! It makes you feel like you're gonna go upside down but you don't. The 'Flying Dragon' was my favourite ride. Then we went for lunch, which was yummy, then we went to sit, 'Rolling Thunder Mining train' which i didn't get to sit in last time cause i was too short. But now i could sit it! It goes really really fast, like a run-away train. Then it goes around in a circle really fast, and it's sooo loud.

That was the last ride we went on, then we had to go home. Most of the way i slept, AGAIN XD. From there, we went to my Aunties hair dresser and she cut our hair, that's why i have my AWESOME new hairstyle! That day was really awesome!

Day 9

Today was CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE! We were like cleaning everything, and putting up CNY decorations. It was very very frantic XD. But we got there in the end, it was a very short day, nothing interesting to do.

Day 10

Today was CNY! We went visiting heaps of aunties and uncles today, it was very confusing but i think i just got hold of who we went to visit. erm...Uncle Paul...Aunty Annie...erm..anyway getting on, i got heaps of hugs and kisses from people i just met. It was very freaky. But it was still pretty awesome. Guess what i had for lunch at one of the aunties house, i had rice! I'm a rice bucket, if there's rice i'll eat it ;P. When we got home it was basically people coming over to visit us! Then we played with pop pop and sparklers outside and it was really fun! Yeah, that's basically it.

Day 11

I forgot today? Dont know why? Just got a mind blank sorry!

Day 12

Today i know, because today we went to Singapore! It was like a 5 hour drive. When we finally got there, we had lunch, we were staying with my uncle's brother. It's a very distant uncle in-law cause its my aunties husband. Confusing i know, anyway i should make this snappy cause i know you guys are like getting really really really bored, and you're just about to stop reading soo...sorry about the long story, but it was over 2 and a half weeks. Anyway yeah, it was basically the trip to Singapore today.

Day 13

Today we went site seeing. We went around the main city of Sinapore. It was awesome! We got to see the Merlion, the Durians, and we got to sit on a boat tour! Then we saw alot of ERP! Every road pay!! XD I got it off a Singaporean movie called "Money no Enough" it was soo funny! I took some pictures lol.

Day 14

Today we were going home, we went to Changi Airports Buget terminal. People kept on saying it was really shabby and sucked, but it was actually really really good! There were internet stations and heaps of shops. At one of the shops i got my phone keyring. It has my name on it :). Our flight home was very boring, and it went very slowly. D'you know who was on the same flight as me!! DYLAN WONG! I was like what the? It was a really big coicidence because he was in Malaysia and Singapore at the same time as me. Anyway when we got home, i gave dad a really BIG hug! It's so good to be back!

Well that was the big adventure i had during my summer holidays. Sorry it's taken this long to publish, i've been very lazy :P. Anyway who likes the new look of my blog? XD

Hey guys,

Just wanted to wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2009! wow last year went really well! I joined scouts and did heaps of fun stuff. It was my last year as well. Go back into my archives and read my previous stuff. Some of it is very interesting. Well i find it
interesting anyway.
What we saw the whole day
The other day i went canoeing. It was fun, we did it the whole day and we canoed 10km! It was sooo tiring. I had canoed in the single canoe while mum and dad were canoeing in the double. It was soo much easier for me to do it by myself. At the first rapid i went down fine and it was AWESOME! Mum and dad had to stop and dad had to get out because he was too heavy! So he had to push all

the way down XDD (btw XD is a smiley face) and it was soo funny. Dad weighed down the back of the double canoe because he was so heavy. So the double was basically diagnal ;).

All of us at the end of the day had sore butts and sore arms. It was so fun!! Here are some of the pictures we took.

Claiming and Naming my inlet
As you should know it's 2009!! Well on New Years Eve my mum, dad and me went fishing. We went in the evening. Unfortunately we don't have any picture but during the beginning when it was still bright (because of daylight savings) we were catching nothing

but blowies. We were soo bored. I thought that i would start counting how many blowies i caught. When it started getting dark...i thought i caught another blowy but instead i caught a YELLOW TAIL! I was soo happy. My parents started getting

Us at Jackie's Inlet (Named
it after me!) excited and my mum started fishing again. So overall we thought we would catch nothing but we ended up with 9 fish. Yup 9!! Caught by mum and me! I caught 7 and mum caught 2 dad didn't catch anything BUT blowies! XD

Well Happy New Year guyzz! Hope you have a good 2009 and it's 11 days till i go to Malaysia!! SO EXCITED!

T H E E N D!

2008-12-23T11:49:00.000+09:00

Hey guys,

Just posting a new post, cause A LOT has happend since the last post, i've been abseiling YUP ABSEILING off a 15m tower, i went rockclimbing, i had my graduation, and i'm going to malaysia soon..!!
Abseiling
Well i'll start off with my abseiling adventure. On the 29th of November, a saturday, i went abseiling! The tower was 15m high, it was BIG! We were going to spend the whole day there, so first of all we had to have lunch, while stumpy and someone else set up all the safety equipment, me and Indra were under a shelter trying to shop up onions! I started crying after about the 3 onion, but it was fun, everybody didn't want to help cause they were watching stumpy and the other dude. After we had lunch, which was sausage sizzle, we got harnessed up and started climbing up the 15m high ladder to get to the top! Man the climb sucked, it basically killed your arms!

The first time i went down, i had to go down with stumpy because yes i was scared. The second time i went down i went down on different ropes but still down with stumpy.
The third time i went down i was fine! The fourth time i
went down i stumbled and fell on my back, there was a
bruise which sucked...But the fifth time i went down PERFECT! It was so fun and guess what mum went down too! She did great for a person who is scared of heights.

Later that night, Indra, Jason and I stayed back with stumpy for a campfire dinner! It was sooo fun we sang campfire sonogs and played games with the Singapore Scouts.

My Graduation
This was the day that i had been waiting for. From the first day that i attended C.V.P.S. This was the day that i graduated from PRIMARY SCHOOL! The down side of that day was that i had to wake up at 6:00am in the morning...But anyway i got to school ontime, and we did the whole graduation it didn't seem to take long though...weirdly? We had a luncheon dance after, the the graduation which was AWESOMEE!! We had fried chicken, chips, pasta, and fish. It was so yummy.We did heaps of dancing too!

Rockclimbing
After the graduation, that same day but at night i went rockclimbing! It was soo fun. It was a 3 m high wall, which was in Byford Rec. I climbed to the top only once, but Maddi climbed to the top like 5 times! It was soo fun! There was also a rope ladder that was 5m high as well, Jason said to me that i will probabaly only make it up 7 steps, but i said that i have a rope ladder at home, and i proved him wrong and climbing to the top. I'm not sure if there is a rockclimbing badge, but i hope there is XD.

Malaysia
In 2009 January the 14th i'm going back to Malaysia! It's gonna be soo fun i'm going back there for 2 and a half weeks. I haven't been back to Malaysia since i was 8 and now i'm 12. Well i'll keep you posted!

Jackie xoxox

P.S

Hello, I'm back from me holiday and I'm 12 years old. Twelve... last year of being a year old and last year of primary school. Man I feel really old now.

Well we went for a little camping trip as i told you all in me last post. We went down south to "Eaton" which is a scout campsite just near Bunbry. It wasn't very good because it was small. It was VERY VERY VERY close to the neighbour-hood too, so we didn't camp there.

What we did was, we went to Busselton and looked for some campsites. We thought we would look around for a little, visit a couple of campsites because we only wanted to stay at the campsite for 2 nights. We would be out the whole day anyway.

So we ended up at a place called Amblin Caravan and Camping Site. It was very big, i wasn't the only kid that missed school on that Friday. As soon as we got there we pitched our tent, set up the camp kitchen set up the tent. We also had a new toy to play with, we had a camp stretcher. Usually we'd all sleep on a camp mattress. It was very big, but it was easy to unpack. The stretcher was meant for dad, but on the second night i slept on it.

After we had set up our whole campsite and dominated it! We had lunch and went out to Dunsborough. We looked around the town to see if there were any good places to eat dinner the next night. Dad saw an ad for a place called "Sweet Lips" but we couldn't find it. After a while we went back to the campsite.

I cooked dinner that night and it was awesome! We had "Bangers n' Mash" (with salad -sigh-). It was sooo yummy that it made me feel really fat and useless after it. So we crawled into bed and slept.

The next day, we woke up and it was really cold...very very cold. I thought it would be somewhat warmer because it's now spring. But nup it was cold. That morning we had Bacon and Eggs, yumm! Dad recommended me to have a shower because it warmed you up, and he was right. So after my scrumcious breaky i went and had a shower.

Shortly after my warm shower, we were off. First we went to these markets and mum bought all these presents for her family in Malaysia when we go back next year. We were then off to Meelup beach. That's where we climbed rocks! I managed to lead dad to one of the highest rocks we could see! I stood up there and did a victory pose :P. Then dad drove us around a million dollar neighbour-hood, where we drewlled at all the houses because they were so awesome.

After about 30 mins of being in a jungle of rich houses, we found our way to the main road where mum lead us to "Bootleg Brewery". It was packed! There was a live band playing and there was some sort of Hen's and Buck's party being held there. There, we had lunch which was yummy fish and chips and a Tandoori Chicken Sandwhich. We finished it like that! Mum and dad had a couple of drinks and then we were off yet again.

They dragged me along for their wine tastings...i tell you it was sooo boring. Listening to adults talk about the origin and history of the company. So we finally went home, to the tent.

When we got back i went into the pool. It was so warm, it was awesome. I did some dives and laps. I had my shower and then went back to the campsite. Then we left for Dunsborough. At Dunsborough, we bumped into someone I wouldn't have expected to see. Chelsi Clariadge and her dad getting dinner.

I was so shocked and later on i found out they had the same food as us just different times, I was saying to my dad i think she's stalking us or something. It was such a big coincidence. After we got our dinner (take aways), we drove to a car park at the foreshore and sat in the car to eat. It was yum. We went home and again went straight to bed this time like i said I slept in the stretcher. It wasn't as comfy as the mattress but it was ok.

Today was the day we came home, so I'm going to write it in present tense. Well we woke up and i raced straight to the shower! I was so cold again. The shower woke me up and it warmed me up. We had french toast for breakfast and then we started packing up. It took us about 1 hour with 3 pairs of hands, but we got there. As soon as we packed up we checked out and we drove down to Margret River, where mum and dad did more wine tastings.

A couple of wineries later, we came to this brewery called Cowaramup Brewery. We were their first customers for the day. It had a million dollar view! It was awesome, mum and dad had a tester rack. Then we decided we would come back later to have lunch there. Dad wanted to go visit a few more wineries before we came back to have lunch. We had fish and chips and a stew pie. (i kept to the fish n' chips..)

So after lunch we were off, for home, real home. It was a 2 hour and a half drive home, i was so bored that i slept. When we finally got home Susie was jumping for joy. We washed the car wich was covered in dirt, bird poo (and not just bird poo but other poo) and insects. We finally got it clean, that evening i was soo exhausted.

Sick D8...and me very happy biffy-day!

2008-11-12T09:20:00.000+09:00

-snuffle snuffle snuffle- Man i hate this cold! I HATE HATE HATE IT!! Yesss, i'm sick, unfortuanately...I'm not going to school today. So i have to stay at home sick. Yup nothing to do. But i had a pretty good week end and another weekend to look forward to. Because yes, it's my BIRTHDAY! You can call it whatever, biffy, buffy, buff-day, biff-day, birthday, but that's my birhtday!! AND WE DID HEAPS OF AWESOME STUFFSSS! For my party we went ice-skating, it was soooo much fun. Although everyone else fell down i didn't XD.

We started our trip to go pick-up Johanna and Anthea in our REDD NEW CAR! (it's a yaris and it's red! And it's also my mum's car!! woo hoo) So we went to pick up Anthea and Johanna and then we went to the ice-arena. When we got there, we got our tables in the lobby and put our stuff there, then we (Johanna, Anthea and I) waited outside on the curb for me other friends. As soon as most of my friends came we went to go get our skates on. Zoe hadn't come yet. Zoe ended up coming an 1 hour later, because her dad got lost XD. We had soo much fun at my party, A LOT OF FUN. I also got heaps of presents! I got stationary, a book light, a pencil case, a necklaace, 2 small glass teddy ornaments, DIY fashion kit and money!

These are some of the pictures from Ice-skating.

Hello

2008-10-29T20:05:00.000+09:00

Hello,

Just typing about stuff lately. There's not much happening but i feel very busy. It's the last term of primary school for me, i'm so sad. I need to make a card for each of my favorite teachers. I have so many!! They're all so nice, kind and fun to work with. It sucks because my friends and I are going in different directions for next year. But hopefully we can still see each other and all. Otherwise i will so cry... :C

In scouts i've earned 5 badges! I have heaps to earn still. But i'm hoping that i would've have earned ALOT of badges by Jamboree.

Cya Later 8)

stuff from DA journal

2008-10-23T07:46:00.000+08:00

hmmm...what should my journal name be. i am wondering very oddly what i should name my journal any suggestions ARE OPEN!

Anyways getting on, I am drinking tea. It has like fwee sugars. (fwee = my three)LULZ anyway getting on AGAIN. The olympics have started (yeah ages ago) that was soooo fwee days agooo. GET THE RHYME!! yeah that's me being hyper with my friend MIZU-CHII!

wth my parents are watching simpsons OMFG how scary. anyway i have to go because i think i need to finish my 'TEA'.

bye bye^^

hands-of-fate~~~

Hi.

I'm drinking milo right now and i'm being entirly bored. This morning my hair was like POOF and was flicked to the side which was really annoying, and it still kinda is. =.='

Yeah, apparently it's a false alarm for breaking dawn. My friend keeps on saying that they hate Stephanie Meyer because she totally twisted the storyline. But a male vampire can make a human girl pregnant, because sperms are always there it's not a cycle like the girls. So for example Alice, Esme and Rosalie cant have kids because they're stuff cant produce ect.

So yeah, I'm going to update some of my other outdated stuff nows...byee

hands-of-fate~~~

OMFG OMFG OMFG it's so HOT! You can accutally feel the sun on your skin again, and it's meant to be winter pfft.

Anyways atm i'm drinking Pepsi Max/Coke or what ever you want to call it(btw it's the same thing even though some people think they're different) i'm so freaking thirsty i had money in my pocket so why not go buy something from the deli.

Yeah, I have like a LOAD of homework piling up so i think i should go and do some homework =.= i'm not looking forward to it though i have to type up a whole biography on Dawn Fraser the olympian, and i have to type up a SA thing on your school life at school to put in the year book. -sigh- i better get on with it, byee ^^

Hands-Of-Fate

Ok I’ve got a name for my journal, i just remembered it, it's called Jackies Quiet Confessions.

I think i used it in my last journal entry. Anyway a lot has happened. I kinda changed and toggled with my verification email so i had to verify it again, so yeah.

OMFG. NURUL HAS THE FATTEST MOUTH ANYONE CAN THINK OF. SHE HAD TO FREAKING GO TELL JESS WHAT HER B-DAY PRESSIE WOULD BE FROM ME AND ELLE. -Sigh- I’m so pissed of at her right now...= . =

AND OMG I'VE JUST HEARD NEWS. Ryan yes Ryan aka BR has a new Girlfriend. I was like wow literally and I’m serious when I say wow this time because in the past he didn’t have success and I’m still WOWED because I’m seriously surprised. He can’t do this to crim... This is bad...

Anyway I think I should go now, coz I’m kinda abandoning my fellow msners so good byees! ^^

Hands~of~fate

Dear JQC,

Today was very weird in a normal way. I felt lonely, in a way that i had comfort and felt peaceful. If you get what i mean. It was odd because today i felt like doing things completely. I felt i had to do something and complete it.

Anyway getting away from all that sort of stuff. Today was odd. My teacher seemed all bubbly in the morning and as the day went on, well he slowly became more and more grumpy again.

LOL it was so funny at recess Jess, Elle and I were playing piggy in the middle near a roof. We were playing with Jess's lunch box. It was so funny because i accidentally threw her lunch box up onto the roof. I was running around like a chook trying to find our deputy to get it down. I was saying sorry continuesly to Jess.

I think i have talked enough, not as much as elle though, i'm a little hungry so i'm going to go eat something...mmm

Anyway byee ^^

hands~of~fate!

Dear JQC,

Just to let you guys know if i havent already told you JQC stands for Jackie's Quiet Contemplations. And if you dont know what contemplations mean pleae ask me because i want to get on with explaining what i'm going to do today.

Today today today...Today i'm going to the shops to buy my friend Jess pressies for her birthday. I know she loves scrapbooking so i'm going to get her that. But one other thing i'm really scared of is getting her a book. What if she's already read that book, that's why i was thinking about getting her a book like every new chapter has a new story. So it's like a short story for each chapter. Get what i mean. Am i babbling on and on. Yet again.

Anyway this morning I had a really SUPER yummy soup dish for breakfast. It was sssssouper yummy and that was the lame joke my dad made -.- please excuse that.

Ok, There's this packet of pocky sitting on my desk staring me in the face and saying eat me! But it's not open yet and it's for Jess's sleepover party midnight snacks. But i have this urge to eat it BAD!

Anyway i'll put you out of your missery with reading this now, so byee! ^^

Campwest '08

2008-10-12T09:40:00.000+08:00

hi,

Anyway recently i had this really big scout camp, it was really super duper good!

Arrival day:

I got there at about 10 in the morning, most of the tents were already set up and the kitchen fly's were set up already. Later when everyone got there, we had a mini parade. During the parade we introuduced ourself to the troop, got our scarves and got our name tag. Our troop was made up of 4 other different troops.

After parade we got assigned into our patrols. I was with the same old person who was my patrol leader in my home troop =.='. In our patrols we put up our troop gate and the social area's at the front. We moved in to our tents. That's basically the end of the arrival day.

Day 1:

Today was cold. I had a stomach ache for the whole day...which sucked. In the morning we went to Toe Tag Challenge. It was a CSI thing and we were the detectives it was AWESOME!

After that we went to laser tag, yes LASER TAG IN THE BUSH i was like OMG but it was really laser tag. Like Dark Zone which was AWESOME!!

My tent-mate Indra, still had a really bad stomach ache after dinner. I fell asleep and when i woke up it was 10:00pm and Indra had vommited in the tent. It smelt ewww but i couldn't see any vomit so that was good. But Indra went to the sick bay and i moved out of that tent because it smelt bad!! and i would be alone in the tent. So i moved into the first tent for the night.

Day 2:I woke up, and i was so cold. Indra was back from the sick bay. She was so much better. Today we were meant to be going to Pelecon Point. We had to be on the bus by 7:50am!! At Pelecon point we did Raft building, Canoing, Scenic boat trip and volleyball. I didn't like Raft Building, it's so hard, because we all have to spread out the weight evenly!

The Canoing was so fun!! I paired up with Indra and we started off literally CRAP! The speed boat helpers, had to come rescue us like 7 TIMES. But then we got better and we were good enough to be in the Iron Man challenge. When ever they saw me they would say "there's the best canoists on camp!"

Day 3:

Today we had Abseiling!! OMG IT WAS SO FUN!! We went at 9:00am. I TELL YOU THE HARDEST WOULD NOT BE GOING OFF THE EDGE (although that is a little scarey) BUT THE HARDEST BIT IS CLIMBING UP THE LADDER, IT'S LIKE 15 METRES HIGH!! argh...it doesn't sound high does it, but it is..it's MASSIVE!! I had 2 shots at it, it was so much fun!!!!! We returned just intime for market day. Market Day was where we had to set up our front "social areas" as a sort of market. We sold things with fake money! It was so much fun. The troop with the most fake money won the prizes. WE WON!! WE WON THE MARKET DAY PRIZES!! FUNKEY TOWN WON WOOPEEEEEEEE! We kinda were jumping for joy and all.

Days 4:

This morning we went to Hathi's Hangout which was quite a walk actually. It was on the other side of the campsite completly. There we had to build a tyre pully. It was so hard, but we got there in the end. After Hathi's Hangout we went to do some Crate stacking on the oval. Crate stacking uses the same wall as Abseiling just it's on the side. It was so fun and i was onto my 16th crate and then i was like ah i cant do this anymore, because i was so shaky, i mean i was like litterally shaking!! My patrol leader got 22 he broke the record of 20 at campwest. But that wasn't his Personal Best, his PB was 23 or 24 crates! wow. In the afternoon i went to the Frat Tent and made a badge, and a pom-pom. Unfortunatly Jason killed my pom-pom.

Day 5:

Today was the last day. In the morning we went off-site. We went to the Byford Recreation Centre. We had so much fun there. I did rockclimbing there, high ropes and beach volleyball. The centre looked so new it was a really nice place to be. Later when we went back to the campsite. We went to have lunch then we went to Ariel Runway, which was also on the other side of the campsite. We had been there before, earlier this year with just our troop. It was so fun though. We had 1 go and then we walked all the way back to Down Hill crash. I really liked it when we got pulled up by the ute to go back up to the top of the hill. We just missed the Hump Back Taxi's but we got the sticker anyway :P The closing ceremony was awesome, it was just a shorter version of the opening ceremony. At the closing ceremony someone got their Australian Scout Medalian and he wrote something on my scarf! His name was Joe and he's so lucky! His sleeves were like Bri's they were full of proficiency badges. XD

Well that was all about my Campwest trip. Sorry it was a little late, but i have been putting it off, i was kinda lazy. ^^" Sorry and i'll try to write in here more often.

blah blah blah...and 2 PARTIES!

2008-09-08T17:14:00.000+08:00

Hi again everyone,

Well just the last weekend, which includes friday now because alot happend on friday. I'll start on friday ok?

Friday

On Friday was our injections day. I was soooo scared, I wanted to think back to the last needle and think about how the last one felt. But the feeling never came to me. All I could think of was AHH THE NEEDLE IS COMING!! I was so freaking scared of it! Then when we were in the waiting line for our injections Mr King our deputy principal was there. LOL and Maddi asked a really really stupid question. She asked Mr King what circumcise means. The rest of us (the people who knew what it meant) started laughing so hard we snorted LOL. And then the moment came where i was sitting in the chair with the nurse next to me waiting for me to say when. But when she acctually did the needle it just felt like a really sharp pencil poking me. The best thing about it was that i only had 3 seconds of pain. Which was good beleive me. And poor Jess, she cried so bad, i gave her my hand to squeeze if she felt any pain and she nearly broke off my hand. I'm serious man is she strong

Later that day after school i had a party! Again. It was nurul's party! I had to go in my scout uniform because i had to go halfway. Jess seemed to have healed by then. We had so much fun. Then my mum came to pick me up at 7:00pm an hour before it ended because i had to go for scouts. Unfortunately i missed out on the cake :(. But at scouts i had a presentation to make. It was a success. I brought a lot of things because i had to bring my stave, laptop to present it on, a massive envolope to store it in and a Cd-rom. I was trying to earn my multi-media badge. In the end i earned it! But unfortunately they didnt have the badge for me. So i have to wait until next week... man have a got a lot more typing to do...

Saturday

On Satruday i woke up feeling sore and mega tired. Today was Elle and Nurul's real birthday. I also had another party. Elle's party. I woke up and basically dragged myself out of bed and packed everything. Spare clothes, towel and pressie. We were going to have a water fight. At Elle's party everyone ran around MAD! lol we didnt even get the proper water fight up an running because we were mucking around too much and there were so many rules!! I MEAN C'MON IT'S MEANT TO BE A PARTY!! Anyway we had heaps of fun. But when i got home i tell you, you should've seen me i was like DEAD! I had my shower and changed into dry clothes and got my blanket and wrapped it around me. Then i walked and then when i felt tired i would just drop where ever in the house i was and sleep there for like 30 mins and then get up and walk a little then drop again. You should've seen me i was so funny my mum said. She was looking for me, because she went to my room then everywhere else and then finally found a lump on her bed. LOL!

Sunday

Today i woke up late, and that was good! I was planning to have a non-active day. But i remembered it was father's day. I was looking through my bag so badly that morning because i did his card at school. I couldn't find it. (Today i went to school and found it in my tray can you beleive that!! gahh!) That day i had a quiet day and managed to adopt half of the vegie patch!

That's basically it! that's my weekend including Friday for you. I'm still trying to catch up sleep but i think i'll manage. I have to go have my shower now so byee byee!

Scouts and other stuff

2008-09-04T15:31:00.000+08:00

Hi Everyone,

I know I know, i have been putting writing in here off for a while. But i'm serious i've been super busy. It's nearing the end of the year and i'm going to be graudating soon! OMG. Anyways the other week we had an open day which was where we show off our work. I dragged my dad along so he could see my work :). Today we had a Maths Competition it was really awkward. I was the only girl in our class who could be stuffed to enter it. I didnt get very far though. Acctually i kinda sucked.

OMG I CANT WAIT UNTIL THE HOLIDAYS! It's going to be loads of fun. Scouts are going to go on a big 7 day camp! I think it's 7 days? Anyway we're going to Manjadel and there are at least 1000 scouts going. Oh and next year my friend Jess might be joining scouts. It'll be where we meet up every week because we're going to different school's next year.

Ok, you might have been asking yourself before what i've been busy with? Right, right. Well with all the olympics going on i've been doing a lot of homework for it. I've also been writing up a biography, a year 7 memories SA, Cybersmart report, doing badge work for scouts and making and buying heaps of birthday pressies and cards.

The really weird thing is that lately most of my friends birthdays are happening at this time of the year. Weird huh? When ever my friends are counting down to their birthday i'm just like it's 2 months till my birthday! :D and they laugh at me and give me sympathy.

I'm going to finish off my cards, wait for stumpy's email, eat and practice my music. Thank goodness Mr Owen didnt give us any homework -sigh- LOL. I also have tommorrow to look forward to (not) we have injections and nurul's party then scouts! big day huh?

Well adios amegozs...i think that's how you spell it. And please comment i've had like 1 or 2 comments only.

FROM Jackie! xoxox

Start of Semester 2

2008-08-12T17:05:00.000+08:00

I'm seriously POOFED. Last weekend i went to Operation Nighthawk. It's a Scout camp which was at gingin. It was soooo tiring, i think i walked like 15km in one night! :0 that's alot. I only went to bed at 5:30am and woke up at 9:00am in the morning. We walked through the bush at night and we had to try navigate our way around. It was so cold, and ontop of that i had to walk through cold water. It left my shoes feeling Jelly like.

Anyway i was wondering if anyone could give suggestions for a name for this blog diary. It makes it sound more homey.

I have to go shower now so...i have to go. If you have any suggestions email them to me at: jacqoh@gmail.com

Byee Jackie ^^

Semester 1 for everything!

2008-06-28T09:02:00.001+08:00

Hi all,

Ok ok, for the past few months i've been VERY busy and i havent been able to write in my blog but now is my chance. I would just like to tell you that school holidays for semester 1 are nearly here and i've been working my butt and my hands off. Last week was like the school's atheletic week because we had to cross country (we have to run a big course around the school). Guess what i came...10th yeah...unfortunately i have to train because i'm on the school team it's unfortunate yet exciting. Yesterday (Friday) we had our interschool winter sports carnival too. Jessica Hancock and I brought Milo and everyone was drinking a little bit of it. I was playing Rugy Tag. Rugby tag is where you where a velcro belt and you have to tags on the side and then you have to tag the person with the ball it's like rugby accept no physical contact is allowed.

Our school won nothing! We had a lot of fun and that was the main thing i guess. Anyway getting back to stuff...I got into Rossmoyne SHS! I am so happy. I got in for the specialist music program there. I'm so excited! I still need to go for the orientation around the school so i know where everything is.

Now time to tell you all the big things that have happend to me with scouts....

1. Rottnest Invasion

The scouts and i went to Rottnest Island for a weekend. That was the first time i went on a ferry it was so cool there were three storys. The bottom middle and then the top aka deck. Our job as scouts over there was to pick up rubbish. We had to walk to the middle of the island and pick up weeds and rubbish. After lunch near the end of the day, we had realised that we had picked up TONNES AND TONNES of the wrong weed. We probably did more harm than help the enviroment. After returning to the camp again feeling very guilty of what we had done. We went down to the beach.

Later that night we went into the small town of Rottnest and had Chicken Treat for dinner! Then all the scouts played scarface.

The next morning we woke up and got ready to pack up. We had breakfast which was cereal and then packed up our bags, tents and other stuff into the craters that would go on the ferry on the way back to Perth mainland. After we had done that we took our purses/wallets and went into town and went shopping! We had so much fun. When we were there we also saw LOTS of quakkas. One of our tents a quakka had been through. They were so cute and cheeky those little critters.

2. Unearth Perth

All of the scouts in WA gathered at Perth, Esplanade for a very big camp in the city. It was basically like a BIG BIG treasure hunt. It was so fun accept we had to move to lynwood hall because the esplanade got flooded by all the rain. It was unfortunate we had to move but these things happen. But even then we did have a lot of fun at lynwood. We did a skit. (It's like a small silly funny play) and we had a bonefire and roasted marshmellows and sang songs! It was so fun!

That's basically all the big things that have happend but there also have been heaps of other little things going on *giggles* Like my friend elle is going to Malaysia for a holdiday and she's leaving on the 1st July. It's also winter over here in Australia, WA so we've been lighting the fire lots of times. (We've got it going right now ;D) This year is also my last year of priamry school. (year 7)

Love You all! Jackie xoxo XD

Anzac day/Quiting Gymnastics

2008-04-26T12:54:00.000+08:00

Hey it's Jackie! I haven't been updating my blog but now i am. Lately I've been everywhere, not literally but anyway. I have quit my Gymnastics last year. This year i'm going to try something new. I have join scouts this year! I'm so excited because this year is the 100 year anniversary for scouts Australia so i think there will be a lot of activity's for the scouts.

As you all know it's just been Anzac day here in Australia. Well I'm in scouts and us scouts had to guard to memorial for Anzac day from vandals. It was so fun, because we got to go to the near by petrol station and we got to buy some food and drinks. I got a redbull! it tastes heaps good!

There was a tent pitched and in that tent there was a...you won't guess what it was...it was a TELEVISION! One of our scout leaders brought a T.V for us! I watched lots of T.V in between my shifts. That night i didn't have any sleep because I had to go up every 3o mins so there was no point in going to sleep if you have to wake up in half and hour. Anyway we had mid-night pizzas delivered to us! I only had 2 slices because I wasn't that hungry. Each shift was 30 mins. I had to cover some peoples shifts because they were sleeping. One guy called Michael pretended to sleep only because he didn't want to stand up there in the cold.

It was a lucky thing that I brought my big thick jumper or i would have been an ice-block. Then in the morning we had the dawn service which was cold...and boring. Then later in the morning us scouts served the vetrains that fought in the war. I served lots of vetrains I was having fun. I met a older man who's name was Ken he was a guy from the rotary club who volunteered to help make the breakfast. I was telling him the orders and then he would make the breakfast and I would serve. One of the vetrains loved my serving so much that i got $2 for it! I was like 'No you don't need to give me money' and he's like 'yes in repayment for your lovely food'. The vetrains were so kind...I feel sorry for them because they were putting their life on the line.

Well that was my Anzac day for 2oo8. Hope you had a good one too. I will talk soon. But in the mean time please leave a comment for me at the bottom of this post. If you would like to email me instead then email me at: jacqoh@gmail.com
Love you guys! Jackie xoxox

Our latest camping trip

2008-01-13T09:41:00.000+09:00

Just recently I just came back from a camping trip down south. It was at Conto's campground and we stayed for 6 days(1 week). We did heaps and heaps of things and i will tell you what we did from Monday up till Saturday.

Monday

The trip took about 3 and a half hours. The only time we stopped was at the Busselton Jetty to have lunch. Then we were off again when we arrived at the campground dad went around all of the campgrounds to check out the facilities and see if there were any vacant spots. Luckily there was a vacant spot and we started setting up our tent. When we were pitching the tent dad counted the wrong amount of poles so the tent got a bit funny shaped! But in the end we worked it out and got the right amount of poles and the tent went back to its normal shape.

Later in the evening after we had settled in to the campsite we went to look at the Conto beach and the Conto spring. The Conto beach was like a surfers paradise. The waves there were massive. Conto Spring had big waves too but it also had a fresh water spring when you first enter the beach, i had a taste of the water and it's really fresh clean water!!!

When we went back to the campsite we met the campground host. Coincidentally we met the same campground host as the one we met in our last camping trip. His name is Eric. Dad and him had heaps of chats when he was at out campsite.

Tuesday

In the morning we went bird watching and we spotted 10 birds. We also heard lots of bird calls. In the morning after the bird watching we went to look at a cave it was called Lake Cave. It was the first toured cave that i have ever been to. It was so spectacular and it was 75m underground. The stalactites and stalacmites took millions and millions of years to form! Later in the afternoon we went to Hamelin bay to just have a dip and to freshen ourselves up.

Wednesday

In the morning we tried to find a fishing spot but we couldn't it was too windy. Then we went to Margret River and bought some groceries. We also had lunch there and we had a burger and some wraps with a mango smoothie.YUM. Then we walked around the place a little and went back to the campsite. We got to light a fire in the fire ring and we cooked dinner on that. When we were eating dinner we got swooped by a Kookaburra. It was scary and weird all at the same time.

Thursday

In the morning we went to the Conto's Beach and we walked along and picked up rubbish and some shell-fish shells and seaweed. Then mum, dad and i went back to the campsite and we made lunch and had lunch. After lunch we went for a little walk and then mum and dad dropped me off at the campsite and they went for a long walk. Then when they came back I had my shower underneath the camping shower we bought just recently. It was so warm because we put it on the ground with the black side up so it absorbed the heat.

Friday

In the morning on Friday we just stayed at the campsite and just chilled I guess. Then we made lunch at the campsite. Then the really exciting thing was in the evening we went for a night tour at Calgardup Cave. It was not bright so we have to have a head torch and a carry torch, the adults only had a carry torch but we had the head torch and the carry torch. We also had a tour guide. We were split into 2 groups and we were with Tracey. Tracey the head ranger of all the rangers that came to the campsites. She's also a cave tour guide. In the cave we went to a really interesting part of the cave. It had tree roots hanging from little holes off the cave ceiling. It was so amazing. You wouldn't think tree roots would come so far down. We also went to a part where it so low that you had to squat and walk at the same time it was so low. In that cave you could also do abseiling down and you would land on a platform in the cave. It was so fun.

Saturday

On Saturday we made sure that we woke up extra early so we could pack up our stuff and go so we could get to Mandurah and have lunch there. We stopped at the place where we usually go crabbing in Mandurah and we had lunch in the car. Then it was full steam ahead all the way home.

That was the big Camping Trip/Holiday for me this summer holidays.

Happy New Year!

~Camping Trip Up North~

I just came back from my camping trip and it was not as intresting as we thought it would be. Mum thought there were gonna be some wildflowers but they were very small. We also came across something called a wreath flower. These can only be found up north. They grow in sandy gravel and are wildflowers.

~Kate Cebrano~
OMG where do i start well my mum and I went to see a very famous singer at burswood dome the other night her name was Kate Cebrano and I am a big fan! I got to see her live in concert and then after the concert I got a autograph and my picture taken with her!! I was the youngest there!!!! She also gave me a hug and we had a little chat!!! Here are some pictures my mum took.

Holidays!

2007-10-07T10:47:00.000+08:00

Oh my gosh, it's already the school holidays. It's the 3rd term school holidays. Well tommorow we're (mum, dad and me) are going camping. We're going up north the place is called Coalseam Conservation Park. We haven't been up north in ages. We got a new picnic basket mum really liked and it was brand new so today they are going to wash it and we're going to bring it along. I'll fill you in on all the details when we get back.

~Canning Vale Superstar~
Well I might have told some of you guys that I entered a talent quest. It is called CanningVale Superstar. I entered round 2. But I didn't enter round 3. It was so fun I sang Daydream Believer. There was still a thing called Wild Card. That's where the judes get to decide. I didn't get it but I still get a certificate of apriciation.

I just finished my performance and
Phil is talking to me!

Our signs saying our names!!

Nervously waiting to know who got in!

~Perth Royal Show~
In Perth every year there is a carnival called the Perth Royal Show. It's not royal or anything but it's a really big show. There are places on the ground for all ages there's Side show alley which is for the teenagers and dare devils. Bankwest Kiddie Zone. Lots of animal exhibits scattered around everywhere. We spent most of our time in Side Show Alley because I really wanted to go on cool rides like the mega drop it is 45 metres above the ground! When coming down it can get up to speeds of 204kmph and you will feel 5.5G-force. I went on it. Mum and dad didn'want to go on it with me. I also went on the wave winner! It was so cool but mum said it was supposed to be scary flighing around in circles going at average car speed but it wasn't. I also got a showbag it was Girlfriend one.

~Roti Jala~
The other day I had satay for dinner. We had Roti Jala with it too. If you were wondering what Roti Jala was I will translate it for you. Roti means bread and Jala means net so if you put it together it would make bread net. I made all of it and mum said I'm better than dad at it now and I just started. Here is a picture of me making a Bread net.

See my Beautiful net.

Lucky we sang the song first because everyone broke down because the speeches were very touching.(Even i cried but I was the last one to breakdown!) What really made me cry was Mr B's wife was Jackie so I felt touched that I knew Mr B. But I really didn't. Anyway shortly I am going to my bestie's house Anthea!

Well, we just painted our kitchen. Don't worry it's not a different colour or anything. Just that you can see some lines in the ceiling, but the lucky thing is that dad fixed them up but if you stare at the ceiling then you can see them. It was pretty messy we had some spilling but other than that the paint was on it's best behavior. I got to paint as well we also did some scrubbing more like I did lots of scrubbing. LOL. Well here are some pics of us painting and scrubbing.

Yr 6!

2007-03-13T17:38:00.000+09:00

Hi everyone,
I can't believe I'm in yr 6! OMG,OMG,OMG! I'm in a split class. I got Jessica Hancock in my class she's one of my best friends. I also got some really weird guys who are koko. (LOL) I got a cool teacher his name is Mr Owen he tells grouse jokes but at the same time makes me laugh like mad.

I am sitting in a group of four and we have got loads of homework but that homework is like research and stuff so i can go online and email you guys! It's really fun and I find it awesome to be in this class. In our class we have 3 computers and one for the teachers desk. I haven't been on the computers long but I went on because we had to research something at school.

At the moment we are concentrating on the Romans and we've done 2 experiments on pillars. We tested what was the diameter of different lengths of the paper and we made it into a cylinder and then we measured the diameter.

Then for the 2nd experiment we did a cylinder, square, hexagonal and triangular shaped pillars with the same length of paper and we measured how many cups of sand we can put on it until the pillar falls. Mr Owen asked the class to estimate which pillar would hold the most and guess what we were ALL wrong because everyone didn't think that the cylinder would hold the most but it did!! Even the smart kids were out-smarted. LOL!

Now we have to do a project on bridges and it's due 3 weeks from now and it has to be able to hold one can of beans!! Then we'll have a competition to see who's bridge is the strongest. I hope I get it done in time wish me luck! :P

Love Jackie :P :D

Hi dad!

Passing Level 9!

2007-01-26T17:46:00.000+09:00

Hi everyone, Guess what I just came back from - my swimming test! I was so nervous, I had butterflies in my stomach! I was swimming at a high school pool. The school is called Lynwood High School. When we got there, mum and dad got a spot ready for themselves because I wasn't allowed to sit with them. I had to sit on the other side. There were 2 shaded areas - one for the parents and the other for us swimmers. I had to wait for a long time because my instructor was busy with the other kids. Then it was time to go in to the pool. It was so hot, really hot like 40C!!!! I had to do 300 meters. If I mucked up I had to do it all over again!!! Unfortunately, I did muck up , and I had to do it all over again. On the second time I got it right so I passed!!! Here's a picture of my certificate.

At The Beach.

2007-01-14T14:48:00.000+09:00

Yesterday I went to the beach and we swam with the fish! These fish are the fish I swam with baby fish, finger sized fish & Mullet. Mum didn't come in to the water. There were huge waves it was good so then I could have big waves to tackle on my boogie board. Here are some pitures mum took. Until next time bye!

Me with my

On the recent Monday mum dad and I went camping down south. We went to lots of places before setting up camp. First we went to a place called Sues bridge that's where we had lunch. Then we went to Canebrake Pool and we had to cross a road called Margaret road and it was horrible because there were pot holes in the road and there was soft sand!

We had two more places to go to left The first one was called Chapman Pool it was okay and very peaceful there was nobody staying there so we had the place to our self! So dad said he would like to stay here for a couple of days then we went to the 2nd place which was called Alexandra bridge it was crowded. There were signs saying that there was a general store 5km from Alexandra bridge and Chapman pool so we went to have a look mum said we had to turn right and I said you had to turn left and the sign said turn left!!

The lady there was super nice dad asked where was a good spot for fishing. The lady said Black wood river was a good place and Chapman Pool was right next to the Blackwood River so we went back to Chapman Pool and that's when mum and dad decided to stay at Chapman Pool for the whole week. While mum and dad were sorting the tent out I explored around the place and guess what I found a great fishing spot and it had natural steps made by dirt down to a dirt platform. It was awesome! There was also a boat ramp and some walk trails. Mum caught her first bream and I spotted marron twice! but I didn't catch any.

On Tuesday it was raining but we had a rain protective sheet on top of the tent. At night we would see real possums come up close to us and it would eat the rubbish!! We didn't really go any where because nobody was there to look after our tent so dad would just have to go to the general store by himself. The only time we all went out was on Tuesday, we went to a shopping centre in Karradale to buy some stuff. I also got a bull ant bite on my foot. It hurts!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures that we took.

This is where we
made the fire!

Christmas and Boxing day in 2006!

2006-12-26T16:35:00.001+09:00

Christmas Day: Before I tell you the story about the boxing day trip... I'm going to tell you what I got for Christmas! From Santa I got a new watch, from dad I got a Body Art set and from mum I got a walkie talkie set. From Nana I got some shirts,from my cousin Christy I got a mini oval shaped thing called Princess Max! Last of all I got a bead set from my Uncle Andrew!

Boxing Day: Today was boxing day and mum, dad and I went to the beach. It was so awesome... we saw fish in the water schools of them and there were big and small fish. I actually swam with a school of fish. Dad said that we could go to the beach again and practice snorkeling then when I'm ready we could probably drive up north to Ningaloo Reef and snorkel up there! I said think that sounded awesome! So that was our Christmas. Tell me how your X-mas was, by posting a comment underneath!!

Two weeks ago it was my last gymnastics class with my coach Tracey and her daughter Thalia. She said that she's got some problems, so she's going to stop for a little while and if she's alright again then she can teach us again. (I hope so.) My gymnastics class is a level 2 & 3. Here are some pictures that mum took.

Potter's Gorge

2006-12-17T15:47:00.000+09:00

I just recently started my summer school holiday. On the second week of the school holidays, mum, dad and me went down south to Collie. That was where the Wellington Dam is. Collie is about two hours from Perth but on the way there we got stuck in traffic twice! We went to a campsite in Collie called Potter's Gorge and that's where we set up camp. We brought our big tent. The first thing we did when we got there was we saw a thing called a campground host and there was a person sitting there so dad drove over to the campground host. Dad got down from the car and started talking to the lady shortly mum and I came down from the car and herd the lady say that we could camp wherever we wanted so we got back into the car and drove around to have a look there were allot of spaces but it wasn't that big. We picked our spot near the edges because it was that or the middle and hot sun. When mum and dad were setting up the tent I discovered we were near a small log. So I climbed up and down it, after a while I got a bit bored so I went to ask dad weather I could help he said yes I was just in time for putting down the pegs so I got the pegs and dad said he would the pegs in so I made up a service called please pick a peg dad thought it was really funny. Then we had lunch which was some of dad's famous beef curry. It was yum! Then dad went to get some ice and and my ice-cream. While he was gone mum was trying to figure out how to put the vestibule then she realized that she had to put up the rain sheet. As soon as she figured that out dad was back.

Mum told him that they needed to put up the rain sheet so while I was enjoying my ice-cream in the tent they started the process of putting the rain sheet on the tent when I finished they were still doing stuff so I asked dad weather I could go down to the Wellington Dam shore because it was just near our camp. Dad said yes so I walked there. I took my thongs off so I could walk in the so only my feet would get wet. When I was walking I saw a girl called Matilda swimming in the water then shortly after she introduced herself 2 boys ran along and raced into the water I got a little wet but that was okay. They were Matilda's twin brother's. The youngest out of the twins was Snow but I don't know why but I kept on calling him Smokey?! But he didn't care. The other one was called Banjo he kept on asking us questions like where were we going today and he was so attached to dad because the first day dad went fishing down the shore of the dam and guess what... Banjo followed him when his mum said don't go past the toilets and my dad went passed the toilets! SO Banjo already left shortly after dad left and mum and I knew that he was going to go past the toilets. then shortly after Banjo left Snow came looking for him mum and I sent Snow to go to the front of the toilets and to see whether he was there and guess what he wasn't! So Snow went to tell his mum.

Other than that the trip was great dad wanted to catch a fish called the Red Fin Perch but he didn't catch any. He also wanted to catch a fish called a Trout. We saw one but that was it, we also fished up a undersized Maron! It was so cool! Also every morning when we wake up there are some wild Parrots that surrounded our tent, and if they want to they will come and eat some ground nuts just put it on your hand and Polly the parrot will come. It was so awesome. Everyone got a hold in one morning! We also saw a wild emu running across the road and a Bobtail Skink. We didn't take pictures of the Emu and the Bobtail because they were running away mum and dad also got to see a Red Tailed Cockatoo but I didn't. We also went to a place called Gnomes Ville where you had to bring a gnome and put anywhere there were like millions of gnomes they were up in the trees on the ground and there was also a big bunch of gnomes set up as a gnome rescue team rescuing a gnome and you could pull it up and down. Here are some pictures we took.

The Great Yr 5 Sleepover (2006)

2006-12-09T16:36:00.000+09:00

On the last week of school on the recent Wednesday. All the yr 5's slept over at school. So straight after school we went to the under cover area. Mr Bingham told us about the rules and that if we saw Kurtis around we have to just stay away and tell a parent or a teacher and without fail he came and he threw water bombs at Elle's tent! So he got told off and and he also threatened Mrs Berkout the principle of our school. He also put fire works on at night we could hear and see them. Other then that I had fun we had a mini disco that went for an hour and a half.Then we had a movie put on for us called the Polar Express it was soooo cool! I didn't go to bed until 1:15 in the morning so I stayed up really late. Here are some pictures mum took when she visited me that evening!

Earlier this year we had a day called "Harmony Day.'' It was really cool because you got to dress up in the religion you celebrate. I dressed up in my Chinese new year clothes. But in this picture I dressed up in my Punjabi costume because I was one of the dancers for my friends dance.

My Sleepover Party

2006-11-19T16:11:00.000+08:00

On the recent Saturday was my birthday party! I had a sleepover with 6 of my best friends Jess,Sush, Amira, Kelly, Courtney and Zoe but 1 more friend came by surprise it was Anthea!!! She came by surprise I was so excited later when everyone was here I showed them a quick tour of the house then it was time for people to have their showers but only one person needed to go. So we were doing makeup, I looked so cool. After all the girls had their makeup done in the tent we went to play on the trees! Mum took loads of pictures. We all worked up a big appetite after climbing the trees. At dinner we had salad, paprika potato's and chicken drum sticks. After we had ice-cream cake! YUM! Then it was time to open the presents! We played pass the presents where there is music and the present that gets to me when the music stops that's the one I get to open. I got a craft set, a Tamagothchi Version 3, Teddy bear, DIY shimmer kit, spring Album of So Fresh, and 20 Questions. It was bedtime now so we all went into the tent. We didn't go to bed until 11:45pm.

The next day we woke up at 5:00 am. We went to play on the trees again then it was breakfast. I had pancakes for breakfast. After breakfast we went to climb on the trees for a little then everyone had to pack their stuff ready to go home. Mum had to take to trips so I got to play with Amira, Courtney and Anthea for a little bit longer.
Here are some pictures that mum took!

Guess what it's my birthday today! I'm turning 10! This morning I woke up normally then I realized it was my birthday so the first thing I did was go to my Nana's bedroom because the night before she told me to. So when I went in she was already awake and she pointed to the shelf and...There was a present there I was so excited! That I opened it in a flash it was a watch! It was pink and had a sporty kind of look to it. Later on in the day at school dad brought some cupcakes to school to give to everyone. Then they sang happy birthday to ME!!

My Trip to Busselton

2006-07-30T14:44:00.000+08:00

My Trip To Busselton

During the recent school holidays I went to Busselton with my mum and dad. This was a start to another big adventure. We woke up at the normal time, had some brekky and then we packed the car it was such a tight squeeze! It was a 2 hour and a half drive.

When we finally got there, the first road we were on was Bussell Hwy. Busselton was next to a big beach. Bussell Hwy was busy. It took us right to the door step of our campsite which was called Mandalay holiday and recreation park. It was soo huge. It had an indoor heated pool and a camper's kitchen. It even has chalets, caravan spaces and tent spaces.

We slept in a tent. It had two rooms and was rather big, taller than my dad. We stayed there for about 5 days.

It was sooo fun and we went to Dunsborough and Yallingup but we didn't have enough time to go to Augusta.

We walked the 2km Jetty at Busselton and it was windy.At the end, there was an underwater observatory. It's a real sea and built to not get wet and you can see the real sea!

I also met a new friend called Madeleine. She's really kind. She's in a caravan. It's soooooooooooo cool because it's got a small kitchen and a mini master bed in it. It's got an extension to it so Madeleine and her two sister's can sleep in it. On the way home, we dropped by Madeleine's house to see how it looks. It was super duper cool coz in the morning you would look outside and see farmland! Mum says how can they look after a place like that!
