Tests, tests and tests... my test has been postponed for so many times. My worries for the Social Science test is still on my mind because of that. Also, I'm very busy nowadays that's why I didn't show up for a while... so sorry bout that. However I'm much more active on facebook! I think most of you have already added me so I guess see you there!

Sorry again for disappearing for a while. Anyways, it's kind of sad to have a dark christmas rather than a white one again this year. It didn't snow for almost the whole of this month and I have the least hope that it would. The weather is very dark and cold and spoils my mood like the whole time and I just feel so... emo. If only it snows again, winter time won't be so terrible to bear anymore!!! Hope the 31st and the 1st would be white... at least.

I don't want to learn Swedish!!! It's like half a year before I go on to Grade 9. Meaning there will be a very short period of time before the National Test. Where I, have to pass the Swedish Test and Social Science which both are of course in Swedish. That's not the worst part actually, I'm expected to ace at it! But I don't have like any confidence to do so at all! I'm only gonna study here until the end of Grade 9 and I'm NOT gonna continue on to High School here anyways. So why should I learn Swedish anyways? I know that it'll be good for me in the future but I'm now in the middle of Grade 8 and I'm only at the level of Pre- School Swedish! How is it gonna work for me to ace at a Grade 9 Swedish if I only have like 1 to 1 1/2 year to learn? There's way too much effort to be put in than I could handle!!! Help!!!

Hey I am just so glad I finished my math project and I heard that I did very well for my science test, hope that it was true! Anyways, I have a math test coming and my brother is having a test tomorrow. Anyways, it snowed! It's actually quite early and unexpected cause last year it snowed like during late December! By the way, how are you guys doing these days? Tag me if you can k?

2008-11-02T07:36:00.000-08:00

Please forgive me guys for not updating for a while!!! I've been pretty lazy and well not in a mood of blogging for a period of time because I'm so addicted to Facebook... especially the application called Owned! which also contains games and has like this "Save the planet" thing which is suppose to really help the ones who are really in need such as the hungry and homeless and many others. Anyways, I am going to have another Science test soon so I need more time to study because I really want to top the class with my good grades for every subject also. My Swedish is calling for great help too so I need to put in even much more effort and hard work into it. I hope that you guys understand why I hardly ever update my bolg nowadays but I'll try not to let you guys down ok? Got to go, See You!!!

My baby cousin should be born in a few days now and I'm just so happy. Finally a close cousin that would be the perfect inheritant of my fashion industry... haha just kidding! Well now that my clothes have shrunk or as to say, I've grown, it would be just a waste to throw them away and they all are very new or at least pretty new and clean. I have spent time and effort choosing them so it will be great to have an almost little sister that will wear outfits that you have given to them to recall the comforts of the materials used to make them. Okay yeah I've been dramatic and yeah it's not actually totally true but I'm just happy to have someone as close as my own little sister. Anyways, hope everyone is doing fine at school and life, and also take care!!!

I'm SOOOOO SORRY that it's been such a very long time since I wrote, I just had my science test and next week on wednesday, it'll be my math and so on... So I've been pretty busy and my computer also was, so how are you guys? Anyways, will try to write next time but bye for now!!!

2008-09-06T08:59:00.000-07:00

I've been very lazy lately after my brother and his girlfriend arrived. It's autumn now and I got pretty sick and the weather is getting colder and colder. I'm really nervous about winter as I've heard that it'll be even colder than last year and it was already cold enough. Swedish classes are tougher nowadays and I'm expected to master it by this year in order to get into grade 9.
Anyways, I'm really sorry that I didn't write for so long so I'll try harder this time okay?

2008-08-17T01:42:00.000-07:00

My school will be starting tomorrow but I don't think we have to bring anything. Our lessons would only be starting on Wednesday and I'll have to go to school by public transportation. Because my brother's girlfriend will be coming that day at 5 am, so the driver will be caught up. Don't feel like going to school. Anyways see ya guys!!!

2008-07-28T05:01:00.001-07:00

Sorry been a little lazy lately. Anyways, um I haven't gone berry picking for nearly a week now and I guess the season is out as well but I still have plenty in my freezer since the last few picking trip. It's been real warm here for days now and my aunt and I went for a dip in the lake the day before yesterday cause it was about 30-32 degrees outside but I can tell you that it was freezing under water and I spent only about 10 minutes in the lake. I was kind of scared as well, it was really, really deep and like I wrote, REAL COLD!!! Anyways, will try to write, see you!!!

2008-07-22T00:42:00.000-07:00

I was planning to go berry picking yesterday but it ended up raining. I really wish to go again today but I think the driver got a lot of stuff to do so cannot go. It's amazing how the wild blueberries grow in the outskirt of Stockholm( the capital of Sweden). They grow and spread throughout that mountainous area where some people go there to live in their summerhouse during summer that I mistook them for grass. I never noticed that those were blueberry plants until that day when I felt so bored and noticed that there were plenty!!! How I wish I could share with you guys!!!

2008-07-21T04:43:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not posting for so long guys!!! I've been picking wild blueberries and some other wild berries lately and nature-walking.My allergy is over and my life is not as boring as the previous weeks of summer. Everything is practically going smoothly and I miss everybody so much but can't spend much time on the computer. See you next time guys!!!

2008-07-09T01:01:00.000-07:00

I finally get to keep in touch with my father's most reliable and close and trusted friend whom used to live in Singapore and moved back to China. She was so nice to me and so close that she is considered as one of my aunts. Anyways, I received her email only yesterday after like a year of losing contact. I was so glad to receive that email, actually it was forwarded to me from my father and I wrote an email to her yesterday night and just read and replied to her just now. That's one of the good news for today. Last but not least... the summer weather is finally back after 2 to 3 days of gloominess. Hoping it will last, enjoy your summer vacation!!!

2008-07-08T09:19:00.000-07:00

I am recovering!!! My friend have just gone to Canada for her summer holidays... Isn't that great?! But I'm stuck here in Stockholm. However, I just entered a MTV contest and I might stand a chance to win a trip to San Fransisco. I really hope that that will happen because it's really boring here especially when you're in the middle of saving money and well yeah, feel awkward after spending for anything at all, even for the cheapest thing on earth... Anyways, wish me luck!!!

2008-07-06T00:14:00.000-07:00

I went to the hospital in the evening for a check-up on my allergy rash or something and I am getting so much better. The redness has gone down rapidly and My skin is getting smoother and much more beautiful like when I had not gone through any steps of puberty!!! Anyways, keep that sentence to yourselves. But now the itching has gone down so I am feeling more comfortable then yesterday.

2008-07-05T01:45:00.000-07:00

I had been quite busy the last few days. I went to meet my friend at her house and hanged out together the next day. I got myself all itched up the next day I think and now I look terrible but getting better after spa-ing myself with some bath salt so yeah basically I don't feel well so, I'm so sorry...

2008-07-01T03:27:00.000-07:00

The sky is mostly cloudless and very bright and blue today and there's more ripe cherries!!! However, it's quite cold but nice, the perfect weather. My mom, aunt and I will be going out to buy some aluminium foil and other stuffs needed in the kitchen later on. My aunt and I might also be going down to the nearby lake park for a walk and get some cherries before coming home. It's a great choice for walking and relaxing outdoors, it'll be better if there's more tasty fruit to eat. LOVELYYY!!!

2008-06-30T03:35:00.000-07:00

One of the cherry trees in our garden here in Sweden has bore fruit and riped. My aunt and I have been picking up the cherries that have fallen onto the ground for the last few days( the only way of getting them, the tree is way too tall!!!) We have a few fruit trees here too, such as 3 plum trees, 1 apple tree and 2 cherry trees and a tiny vegetable plantation. It's fun to watch them grow and finally, EAT THEM!!! It's raining cats and dogs right now with thunder- pretty rare to me since I got here. It was kinda sunny lately though but this kind of weather is good for plantation. Hope more will ripe...

2008-06-29T03:18:00.000-07:00

I didn't get what I want yesterday but we are gonna go out today!!! Not the best news however but at least I won't be stuck at home. I don't have any homework whatsoever so that I won't have anything to think about and squeeze out my brain juice. It's what real holidays should have and I can do other stuffs than to worry about homework. However my mother is kinda worried because of that. It's end of grade 7 holidays, what can I get for homework anyways. The bad thing about my holiday is because I don't get to go to other countries like my friends do, at least not right now. Gotta go now, see you guys!!!

2008-06-27T23:43:00.000-07:00

I went window shopping yesterday and found what I was looking for. My ballet flats got washed and they shrunk so I am gonna buy a new pair of shoes and they are slightly higher and kind of nicer too. Since it's summer, I'm getting a pair of over-sized sunglasses with white rims and a white or beige sun hat. So in total I am gonna be spending a lot of money today with satisfaction!!!

2008-06-27T11:19:00.000-07:00

Got a pretty good sleep last night. I woke up with a neck ache this morning after about nine hours of sleep. I guess my head slipped of my pillow that's why. My eyes were like really blur this morning for some unknown reason. It happens almost every morning even if I had a good rest and my eyes freshen up only like 30 minutes later. I will need to go to bed in half an hour because I take a long time to fall asleep and usually wake up in the middle of the night and take about an hour or more to go back to sleep. May be I'll be back tomorrow so see you guys!!!

2008-06-26T01:42:00.000-07:00

O my god, last night was like the worse night ever!!! It felt like I only had 4 hours of sleep and I kept tossing and turning and it was all cold and hot and cold and hot throughout the whole sleeping process. I woke up about 3 or 4 times last night and couldn't sleep for hours. I woke up this morning with a heavy head and nearly couldn't see anything clearly and my head felt like it just hit a hard object or something. I tried to go back to sleep again but it only got worse so I wet my eyes and had breakfast. It felt like nothing happened just now but it's coming up again right now but only not as painful as before. Hope I'll get better really soon.

2008-06-24T04:13:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not posting for the last few days. So it's been raining and sunny recently and the weather of the previous days were pretty funny. Okay here's why: It was all gray in the sky but it was really sunny so I thought that it would rain. However, it didn't for like two hours and it started drizzling and then it kinda like stopped but later on, it was raining cats and dogs. Not so long after that it became sunny again and the sky was like nearly perfectly clear and then there were gray clouds covering up the sky again and it started repeating the whole cycle again for like about 5 times those days!!!
Anyway, it was the midsummer holiday so the shops were all closed and I think it only opened yesterday and my mother was and still is really tired so I didn't get to go out shopping, and yeah she is very conservative!!! I am so bored!!!

2008-06-20T23:26:00.001-07:00

It's so disappointing!!! It was midsummer's eve so I didn't get to buy my hat because the shops were closed!!! The shops won't even open up today so... I'll have to wait until tomorrow and it was like so, so warm and sunny yesterday.
Today is midsummer and our neighbour is coming for dinner and for some reason, my mother seems so crazy about cleaning up the house.For those who celebrate midsummer, happy midsummer to you guys! Have a good time resting and being with your family and just enjoy yourselves!

2008-06-20T02:13:00.000-07:00

My father's good friend/colleague will be coming to our house for lunch today. Well actually my father called him here to take us to my brother's university campus after lunch. I heard that it's actually pretty far from our house and my mother said that it'll be great if my brother and his girlfriend find a student hostel nearby or in the campus because we'll be competing for transportation when our school start.
Anyway, I might be shopping after that. I went to the city yesterday and found this really pretty sun hat and well there's a lot of those big what do you call that, lobed hat? Well I really like those kind of hats an I am so gonna get at least one of them today, I think and those over-sized sunglasses. It's getting really hot and sunny these days!!!

2008-06-19T00:05:00.000-07:00

I am wearing this outfit that I've found in the bag in the previous entry and I really look like Cinderella or some other fairytale princess when they were still not in the palace. I meant that in a cute way, seriously.
I learnt to tie ties in a different way and I don't think I could still remember the steps however. Well in my previous entry, my father taught me the wrong way of tying ties because when I pulled it out, it didn't unwind itself but has this huge knot or something but he said that it looked fine and should be okay if I had to wear them. So he taught me the right way later on.
Basically the weather today is much better and it should be fine in the next few days also- I hope.

2008-06-18T06:37:00.000-07:00

Okay I learned how to tie a tie and I experimented my skills with one of my father's favourite ties-hahaha!!! So this morning my aunt got some of the vintage clothes that we have found yesterday that was left by my father's colleague and they're actually pretty cute. Well actually. I liked them. It was like a shopping spree or something, it's worth like 3 full black garbage bags and well, some of them are like really hard to get in stores these days!!! Oooh, that's a cute one, um yeah gotta go and try it out so see ya!!!

2008-06-17T00:28:00.000-07:00

I listened to Mariah Carey's Bye Bye and I really liked it especially the meaning of the song. How hard it is to say goodbye to your loved ones, not as in boyfriend or girlfriend issue but more like someone you really loved that actually passes away. That happened to me like three times and that song reminded me of my grandmother who died when I was about three years old in an accident. It also reminded me of my grandfathers who died because of lung cancer, one when I was about 7 and the other when I was about 9. That song really affected me in a good way, in memory of them.
Okay so that's the quite depressing thing about my life. Today seems like it's gonna rain sooner or later and the weather is more like spring compared to summer, not what I expected. I guess it'll get better soon, PLEASE!!!

2008-06-16T00:41:00.001-07:00

It's about 19 degrees outside and it's quite sunny and nice but inside our house however it's like air conditioned at 17 degrees but its nice at least for me but my aunt is um freezing. I was so glad to hear that my brother and his girlfriend are coming to study at the Stockholm University this fall!!! They graduated and got their bachelor's degree a few months a go and are coming for their master's degree!!! But we kinda have a problem about the accommodation but our residence is like three levels with a lot of rooms, so should be enough for the 2 lovers. Ooo yeah, it's gonna be an interesting year for me!...

2008-06-15T01:32:00.000-07:00

It's pretty cloudy today but it didn't rain yet. At least it gives me the hope of swimming later on. Everything is back to normal so we could relax and enjoy summer but we have no idea of what to do where to go except going down to the lake for fresh air and distress and maybe swim and I don't know, family bonding? Got to relax and breathe in the summer air...

2008-06-14T00:39:00.000-07:00

Isn't it sad? It's summer and suppose to be all sunny and stuff but its raining and all cold. My plan of swimming is so destroyed!!! Anyways, today my mom, aunt and I are gonna be sending the VIPs back to Laos, finally our freedom will be returned. We're gonna go grocery shopping after that cause our fridge is kinda empty after the dinners and lunch for like the whole of this week for those VIPs. But I am just so glad they're gonna be gone cause' my mom and aunt are way tired and I just want them to chill. I hope it won't rain tomorrow so I could go for a dip in the lake in front of our house!!!

2008-06-13T01:25:00.000-07:00
