Camp, camp, CAMP!!!

I just got back from... CAMP! Camp was sooo much fun, and I'm really sad to have to leave :(
I left my schedule for what I did at camp back at school, but tomorrow I will bring it back home so I can copy it down and type it here!


The only things that weren't so nice were the showers. The water was either freezing cold or boiling hot. Never warm. And there would barely be any water coming out! Maybe about one or two drops every minute. There are signs all around the campsite saying 'Use less water, save the planet', but I didn't think that they would take it that seriously... also, the beds were as hard as my desk, so I could never sleep through the night comfortably. So at least now that I am back I can shower in clean showers and sleep in a nice bed.


At camp, we did really fun things like going on sampans, canoes, water bikes, and archery, rock climbing, rope courses, swimming, tennis, pool, squash, table tennis, soccer, basketball, and hiking... there are loads of other activities that we did but I forgot them... I will list all the things I did at camp when I get my schedule back.


When I got home from camp, I was really tired, so I had a nap for a few hours. I woke up right before tennis, and although I was still really tired I still had to go. 


When I got back I practiced violin... I have to memorize a 5-page concerto by Saturday!! I've only memorize half a page... 4 1/2 more pages to go!! 

Charity Bazaar

It was the Charity Bazaar today!! I woke up really early this morning to start getting ready. Later, Rachel came over and mommy helped us do our hair. When she was done, we went over to Rachel's house where her mom helped put on make-up for us. We were supposed to be at the dance studio to rehearse our dances by 10:00, but when I left home, I had forgotten my dance shoes. When I went back up to get them, as I was about to go into the studio, I realized I had forgotten my hat for part of my disco costume!! Although Ms. Claire told us to be there at 10:00 sharp, I ended up being about 10 minutes late. I kept worrying that I would miss the rehearsal for my dance, but turns out that I was pretty early... we hadn't started dancing until around 10:20!


Finally, the time to perform came. It was so hot inside my costume because since I have to change into three costumes, I was wearing many, many layers of my costumes to help make it easier for me to change faster. So after the first few seconds of my first dance, I was immediately exhausted. I was very happy when I got to change back into normal, comfortable clothes, with just one layer.


After performing, Rachel and I got hamburgers. The hamburgers at the Charity Bazaar are soooo good!! I love them :) 
And of course, after eating my delicious hamburger, I had to have something sweet. So I got cotton candy... and the cotton candy is even better than the hamburgers!! They make it humongous and very, very sugary. I loved it as well...


When we finished eating, we walked around, looking at the stalls. Rachel bought a few things, but nothing there interested me, so I didn't buy anything. Well, I did buy a really small popsicle keychain...


Rachel and I soon got very bored of the Charity Bazaar, so Rachel came over to my house and we watched the movie 'Mean Girls'. We didn't get to finish the movie because Rachel soon had to go back home :(


When Rachel left, mommy took me to Pacific Place to watch the new movie, 'Garfield'. It was really good and funny. I enjoyed watching it in 3D, though the movie was only about 1 hour.


After the short movie, I had to go get some t-shirts in Wanchai for camp tomorrow (YAY!) because all my clothes that I currently have are too precious to wear to camp and get dirty :D
I bought 4 really cheap shirts... they're actually really cool.


When we finished getting the shirts, we went to eat at a Thai restaurant called 'The Chili Club'. I wasn't very hungry, so I didn't eat much... but now I'm starting to get more hungry............


YYAAAYYYYY!!!!!! CAMP IS TOMORROW!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight because I definitely can't stand or sit still for just one second at the moment... I'm sooooo excited!! Can't wait to write all about it later! But unfortunately there won't be any computers at camp, so I won't be able to write any posts on Monday or Tuesday, but I will be back on Wednesday to write aaaalllll about fun, exciting, wonderful camp *^_^*!  

I'm really soooo excited for camp!! I even started packing already! I only need to pack just a few more things...


When I got home from after-school violin class, I had no homework at all!! So I just played on the computer, listening to music... then I had to practice my piano for my piano lesson next, next Tuesday. I thought I was going to have a tennis group lesson tonight, but unfortunately, because of all the rain that made the courts wet and slippery, tennis was cancelled :(


So I just spent the night practicing my instruments and playing more on the computer. Tomorrow Sydney and I will be going to Ocean Park since there is no school on Thursday and Friday because there will be conferences on those days. Yay, so 2 extra days of vacation!!

Camp Preparations

At school, of course we continued preparing for CAMP!!! All the cabins got together and we created posters. It was really fun making the posters, and I wonder what we'll do for camp tomorrow... I'm just sooo excited!!


When I got home from school and finished all my homework, mommy and I played tennis together. She won a set, and then my asthma was coming back, so we stopped and went back home. I really want to be able to win a set from mommy sometime!

Camp Cabins

At school today, we found out who will be in our cabins for camp that is next week!! I was really excited to know who would be in my cabins; When we did camp cards (writing down the names of people you want in your cabins) Grayce, Sydney, Alex and I all put down each other's names, so we were all thinking that we would all be put in the same cabin... but we were wrong :(((( Grayce and Sydney were in a separate cabin from me, but luckily I am still in the same cabin with Alex!! The other people in my cabin isn't in my class, so I don't know those girls that well, but they are all really nice. It's really too bad that I'm not in the same cabin as Sydney, because Sydney is always so jumpy and hyper and fun to be around. But this is an opportunity to get to know other people so I'm still gonna try to have fun at camp... I CAN'T WAIT :D

After school, Alex, Sydney and I stayed in our classroom to do our homework while waiting for clarinet class. 

When I got back home from clarinet, I went to disco. Yes, I am still I bit sick (coughing and asthma), so I got real tired really easily at disco. I do hope that I'll be better by the Charity Bazaar!!

Making Posters

I had no after school activities today, so I had plenty of time to do all my homework. I had a lot of homework to do, but when I finally finished all of it, Sophia called me. She is running for Class Representative, so I wanted to help her with her campaigning. She brought some poster paper over to my house and we started to make a poster. I came up with a motto for Sophia that goes like this, "Check the box for the Rep that rocks!". I took pictures of Sophia, printed them out, and glued them on the poster paper. We also wrote, "Vote 4 Sophia!". I hope Sophia will become Class Rep! Sophia also got to stay for dinner, which gave us more time to finish the poster; Sophia has to start campaigning tomorrow. I'm so excited for her :)


At school for P.E., we had swimming class. Everyone had to do a test where we have to swim as many laps you can for 5 minutes... no stopping. So now I'm really tired. I swam 10 laps (250 meters) in 5 minutes today. 


I really want to find out what cabin I will be in for 5th grade camp!! I really hope I'll be in the same cabin as my friends. :P

Hi again! Sorry I didn't get to right an entry about yesterday... yesterday I didn't have any after school activities so I was quite bored. But at 6:00 PM I went to have a group tennis lesson. I still had some homework that I needed to finish, so by the time I was in bed, it was already very late so I didn't get a chance to write in my blog. :(

Once again, today my teacher didn't give much homework for us. So I finished homework in just about 45 minutes, then I practiced clarinet. I was about to practice my piano when I remembered that I had tap lesson, so I went to tap instead.

Tonight at school, there is a parent/teacher conference, so mommy went to school today and sister stayed here at home with me.

At school, we got permission slips for... CAMP!!! I absolutely love camp at school. We go somewhere out in the suburbs in Hong Kong for 3 days and 2 nights. It's been really fun in 3rd and 4th grade, but in 5th grade, we get to go to the best camp site in Hong Kong and we get to do really fun things like kaiaking and jet skiing and canoeing, lots of other water sports and other activities on land as well. I really can't wait for 5th grade camp which is going to start on October 19th - October 21st... too bad we can't stay at camp for 2-3 weeks!!

Tomorrow at school, we are going to have a free dress day, and my teacher wants the class to dress very wacky tomorrow. I don't have many wacky clothes, so it was really hard for me to choose wacky things to wear. Soon, I finally decided. I'll try to upload a picture tomorrow of what I looked like.

Well, I'm off to watch the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!! Bye :D

After school... wacky clothes:

Since I couldn't figure out how to upload a picture of what I looked like at school today for free dress, I'll just describe it.

I wore different socks: one with red and white stripes, one that is green with blue flowers.

I wore different shoes: one green sneaker, one red All-Star converse.

I wore brown leggings with swimming trunks with green flowers on them.

I wore a blue, baggy Abercrombie t-shirt.

I really did look wacky at school!!
