All On

I just got back from squash practice at the gym. It was supposed to be a girls practice today but only Sarena showed up! So I ended up playing against her. Shen, whose gym membership expired decided to join the squash team, so he and his friend Pere came today. Shen accidentally hit Aonghas hard in the chest with the squash ball! I had a bit of an injury of my own as well, getting a really huge blister on my foot. Our games will start in May.

Yesterday in the library, Aonghas and Hamish were sitting at the 'Childrens Help-Desk', and a couple of primary school kids came up to them, asking

"Can you help me find books on whales?"

(Hamish) "What?"

"Can you help me find books about whales?....Are you librarians?"

At that point Hamish got up, put his books into his school bag and left them!

I texted one of my friends who I was concerned about on Sunday morning. However, before I finished writing the text, I had to go to the car, so I put the cellphone in my pocket, and a few buttons must've been pushed and sent the text message to one of Aonghas's friends!

I FINALLY FINISHED READING LIFE OF PI (the book I must read for English)!!! Took me 8 hours over four days! Now I have to write a 500 word essay on the book for an English internal assessment, as well as doing a Biology assessment on Ecology next week!

What a Night

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISON, EMMA AND S…(So sorry for forgetting your name but I will replace this with it as soon as I remember!!)

Today Zippo had her friends Kylie, Alison and Emma over. It was Alison and Emma’s birthday so they were holding a birthday party at Zippo’s house. Tonight they came over, offering some cakes to us. Aonghas and I stepped outside to accept them when…they sprayed our hair pink and purple! 

Last night Zippo made a deal with me that if I proposed to Alison, she would bake me a really nice cake with Easter eggs in it and everything, and so tonight she kinda pressured me to go ahead with it.

So out I came, with my tie on. I faced Alison, the girl I tried to kiss but miss last year…

“Well…I’ve known you for about……how long now? [EIGHT MONTHS (shouts her sister)] And I’ve become very fond of you…”

I got down on one knee, and took out that round thing off a key ring from a small Vix Vapour rub box…

“Will you have a civil union with me?”

It drew a blank look from Alison’s face, and Zippo shouted at me to get on with it

“Alison, will you marry me?”

She replied:

“I’M NOT ANSWERIN THAT!!”

(Her friends) “Just say no!”

“NO!”

I then tried going for Kylie, but she had already ran inside.

The only thing though is I didn’t really notice the significance of Zippo recording all of this on her camera until I told Yuk-kit about it tonight on the phone! ARGHH I never think! But be well aware THIS WAS ALL JUST A JOKE! I DIDN’T PROPOSE TO ALISON FOR REAL (ONLY BECAUSE ZIPPO OFFERED CAKE TO ME IF I DID IT)!

It looks like Yuk-kit won’t be coming to New Zealand this Easter after all. It was going to be kept a secret so everyone would get a surprise when he arrived here, but he and his family had a change of plans

Leaving me Behind

Today I really didn’t do anything on my teachers only day. Oh I did go shopping at Pak n’ Save when all the power went out. I thought I’d have a little fun and randomly phone people with our new cellphone (since its new no one would know who was calling ;) ). The only person to reply was Diane, who asked who it was. I didn’t bother replying till later in the night. She replied saying that she was having the happiest days of her life, as she had found a new guy.

Now this is what has taken me by surprise, how everyone likes everyone else. It seems as though nearly all my friends are having good luck with the opposite sex, except for me, or am I just having delusions?! Maybe it might work to my advantage though. While everyone else is distracted by the opposite sex, maybe good ‘ole lonely me can focus on schoolwork and outdo them? I’m not saying it’s possible, but it’s an optimistic look on this whole situation ;)

Our First Loss

Oh by the way I forgot to mention about our debate on Tuesday against McAuley High School. Well…we lost. It was our first loss for the year as well. The scores were 315-105. The adjudicator didn’t mention what we did that caused us to lose, but said it was one of the closest debates she had to adjudicate (I bet she says that at every debate she adjudicates!). I at least got speaker of the day anyway so that compensated a little for the loss. However we’re likely to fall in the rankings, and because the next highest Rutherford team at 16 won, they’ll probably leap above us.

 

We talked to the girls from McAuley High School afterwards and they were actually pretty cool! They were mostly of Samoan and Pacific Island decent but that didn’t mean anything, they were really funny people!

Woops

Finally school is over for this week, thanks to a ‘teachers only day’ and the early Easter holidays. No rest for the wicked though. I’ve got a Physics assignment, English essay, Chinese sentences, Biology essay and an English research assignment to get through. Don’t forget sitting the learners license test! I’m definitely going for that!

 

We had our first squash training after school today at Club Physical. We just played against other team members. Hyun swung his racquet too hard and hurt himself once again. Two years ago when we were playing squash for Wider Living Week, Sarena *accidentally* (we don’t really know for sure if it was intentional or not) whacked Hyun in the face with a squash racquet, requiring him to get a few stitches. Maybe squash just isn’t the sport for Hyun…nah I’m only kidding! I got wasted a bit by the people I played against, but as I got started I got better and better! It was just unfortunate that we had to stop when I was on a run!

 

After, Aonghas, my mum and I went to this fast-food restaurant not too far away (I won’t name which one). I thought I’d freshen up in the toilet. The washing basin in the toilet was slightly hanging from the wall, with some nuts and bolts missing. I turned on the tap to wash my hands and as soon as I turned the tap off, the whole thing fell off and flipped upside down! I had no idea what to do! So I calmly walked out pretending nothing had happened. Aonghas later told me after returning from an observation, that black gooey stuff was flowing out of a pipe. The bottom line though is that it wasn’t my fault! It was already broken!
