Geez, why do I feel so cut off from the outside world nowadays? =="
Anyway, time to blog about the Chinese Medicine Association Chinese New Year cruise thing. =)
So we set off, thinking it was going to be some EXTREMELY EXCITING cruise with an eye-blindingly bright, twinkly night view of Darling Harbour and super high quality food. But NO.
"Ahem. Now we will have karaoke."
KARAOKE? Where everyone can "yi qi happy yi xia" (hehe, I learnt that from China where teenagers try to be cool and add bits of English in when they talk xD ) Singing songs together to strengthen our bonds with each other and form everlasting friendships? Where we can let music take over our soul and fly upon the wings of sing~~ Where -
"Ehh.. No."
At least MODERN Chinese KTV bah?
No, but this old, over-50 woman toddling up the aisle to sing these classical Chinese songs in that high pitched Chinese opera voice. Fun.
AND it was bring your own food. =( How sad.

Now. I find this story really cute. ^^ So I'm gonna write it here, complete with grammar and spelling mistakes:
A Memorable Moment
Andrew Yang
I still remember that day three years ago on a school day...
"Awwww!" I moaned, pretending to be sick. Today was the day that big Aaron and his gang of five bullying buffons promised to beat me up because we agued about who's soccer team is better. I tried explaining how my team is better but Aaron just wanted to solve it by force.
"I'm SO sick!" I moaned again.
So that how I got to stay home. When school ended, mum went to pick my sister up from school to drive her the swimming pool. Mum said that I can't be left home because I might BURN THE HOUSE DOWN, I am nine years old and she still doesn'tr trust me to be home alone. So that was the first mistake she made.
The second mistake was when we got to the school, mum actually ask me to pick my sister up. Since I pretend I had the flu, my mum dressed me up in about five layers, FIVE LAYERS! I looked like a snowman. And my ordered me to walk infront of my friends looking like some fat person.
I was thinking about my friends laughing at me that it cloged up my mind and thought she said to pick my sister up at the swimming pool, that was FIVE KILOMETRES away.
I walked on and on, crossing road and all that stuf for an hour until I saw a big sign saying "swimming pool". I knew I was near.
After the long journey I finally reached the swimming pool. My ankles were weak, me knee shook and my muscules felt like they were melting (I am only in Year 3 remember) but thinking I did something good the walk to the pool.
I scaned around the swimming pool not seeing my sister, "AH, HA!" I though. She is obviously in the girl change room. I decided to wait five minutes for her, then another five, and another five, and another. I waited fifteen minutes for her thinking why she is taking so long, another brainwave came to me, she must be having one of her girl problem with... So I waited ten more minutes but before those ten minutes were up one of my friend's mum came to pick me up for some reason.
She tried to explain how everyone was looking for me but I did not understand. When I got back to the school there were about five teachers, they were turning over rock or looking in the bins if was like they lost something. When my friend's mum got me out of the car, she was beeming a smile as if she won a competition.
My mum ran out and started hugging me, behind her was my sister, RATS! she has beaten me but I did not understand why she would ask me to pick my sister up if she was going to pick her up herself. I only understanded when mum explained it to me slowly.
So that was how the story when, "The Boy that Ran Away Without even Knowing it!" From then on my mum and dad rarely asked me to do stuff for them. That's Good!

So CUUUUTE!! xD And it's based on a true story too.. When I picked it up I thought it was something I wrote back in Year 6. Except I didn't have as many grammar mistakes, of course. =) I'm serious. It sounds like how I used to write before my writing ability died. =="
School is tiring. =(
