Church Carnival

It is 30/September/2012. Our church members went to a park to have a carnival. It was not very interesting but some things were rather unique.

We normally think carnivals are just doing whole lot of sports or think of it as a festival kind thing. However, I have to say that our carnivals are never like that.

We started our carnival with some O, X questions. Unfortunately, I got out on my second question which was: If a girl looks at the mirror and sees herself beautiful, then, she must think that she is a princess. Honestly, what do you think the answer is?

Count down of thinking of the question...

0!!!

I thought "nah, I don't so, even though I'm a boy, I perfectly know well about girls' attitudes through my mother and my cousin. By the way, even my mom and my cousin were saying no, so it has to be no." BUT! That's where I got wrong. There is a korean saying that you have a princess disease (they think this disease is supposed to make you think you are the hottest girl in the world) if you see yourself beautiful in the mirror. So I got kind of depressed because if you won the game, you win a prize.

Then I played with some guys until we were called to do tug-of-war, so we did. We lost 2 to 1 and again we lost the prize that they give you if you won the game. So we got depressed x2. However we had fun. That's all it matters.

I had real fun today. I can't wait until next year to do another carnival (we only do this whole church carnival annually). Today was a long and exhausting day.

Basketball Match

Dear diary,

Today is the 29/September/2012. I was at my basketball match. We won every single game this term and this is the last game. We can't lose, we just can't! We are 1st in the ladder and our team made this high by training hard and with our good coach, Jessica. We made it this far, if we win this year, we finally get to be in the finals! This is it...


Yes! We won! We won the game! Pfft, nothing so difficult since our team won every game with the difference of 20 points at least. Today, we held the victory with the score of 57 to 10. I'm feel so glad. I feel proud of my team and me (of course) for winning the game today. We are going to make it to the finals unbeaten! Wish us luck.

Diary I just heard a bad news. One of my teammates who is really good at basketball is leaving the team because he will be leaving to Sydney. His name is Bow and he is an asian just like me. He was great at basketball and was a great support for our team. He was also funny and cheerful so it was always fun around him. However, now I feel depressed as he is leaving us. I won't forget him. I wish for the best luck for him...

I hope there will be more exciting and extraordinary events I could tell you diary, but today I will this is the end.

The Day of Pride

My proudest day was when I chose to take a test to enter John Curtin College of Arts. I made this decision because art is my favorite subject and wanted to do more of it. I also chose  to do this test because this school is a good school and I may be able to discover my dream. At first, I had no intension of going to that school when my mother asked me. I thought to myself “I’ll never make it, because all good schools come with high expectations”. However I couldn’t say no to my dear mother so I said I’ll give it a try.  The time flew past and  the test date was just suddenly around the corner. With every passing day, I became nervous like a lamb being led to slaughter.

 At the test day, I went to Applecross High School. I was very anxious this day. When the time was ready for my test, I went in to face my destiny. The test evaluated my drawing skills. When I was having my test, I felt quite apprehensive but I got over it and tried to work confidently. Then while I was in the middle of my drawing, they said it was already half time. It got me stressed and made me work faster. Eventually I made it in time to hand my drawing in. I felt very relieved. Soon I did different tests like inspirations test and copying test. These weren’t much of a trouble.

When I was doing the inspiration test, I had to look at a piece of printed art and predict what will happen. I was imagining about a bunch of kids in a capsule looking containers that was floating down the river and their parents waving a goodbye to them. I thought of them going into a portal that was at the end of the river. So they ended up living in the future. This task was not so complicated because all I needed was creative imagination. Then, we moved along to another room where there were bottles, a doll, few plant pots and a cloth over the table. Then the task manager instructed us to draw the objects on the table. It took us a fair bit of time to finish but I managed to do it easily. This was because I was good at accurate but quick drawing. However the problem was that I was not able to make small images large enough to fit the page. So my drawing was minute. Even though it was not perfect, it was still quite easy.

 Few months later, about a month or two, there was a mail in our letterbox. I got curious about the sender, which was from John Curtin College of the Arts. I was so nervous that I was shacking like a leaf therefore I asked my mother to open the letter with me. After the message was read out by her, we were ready to jump over the moon together. This was because the letter was about me passing the test to enter John Curtin College of Arts. Right now, I can not wait for the year to pass quickly. I’m very proud of myself for being able to be accepted. That day was indeed the proudest day of my life.

Well for the Orphanage

 It was about 2 months ago that some of my friends and I sent money to dig a well in the orphanage in Cambodia. We sent over $1300 to get this well dug up and it was finish at 10/August/2012.

 It took us 5 months to get the money ready for this well and it took 2 months to get the well dug up. The well could have been dug up faster but due to the rain, it has been postponed by few days. After it was dug up, they sent us pictures and letters saying thank you for digging up a well for the children in the orphanage. We were happy for these children and I hope I get more money to dig up another well in a different place for the needs.
