Breakfast at Starbucks...

20th of December. It's a bright Sunday morning........Sleep-ins every day....that's what breaks are meant for... "I need a break from cooking too!!" Mom declares...so...our solution...?

BREAKFAST AT STARBUCKS!!!! (Instead of Tiffany's :P)

It's 9 o'clock right now...I am in Starbucks, typing.

The table beside me is littered with...

Toffee Nut Latte

Cappuccino

Hot Chocolate

Mini sandwiches

Oatmeal raisin cookies

All empty...devoured by my family and me!!

I love going to Starbucks for breakfast because the food there tastes great and it's relaxing to just chat with my family and eat and blog...the store's empty so it's really quiet. Break is great.....!!!!!

GO....BROMO!!!

Thursday, December 17th was Madness Day! Go Broooooommmmoooo! There was no classes today. Only fun! :D First, we had 2 activities to do. I had Badminton and Wacky Relay. Badminton was held in the lower part of the Big Gym. 

To be honest, I was hopeless at Badminton. I couldn't hit the ball over the net. I screwed up all the time. But my other two Bromo teammates were awesome at badminton. Especially this 8th grader, he was so good. So we played against Salak and Merapi, and won both of them. With Salak, it was a close match 21-20. But we killed Merapi for 23-18! At the end, we were tied with Krakatau for 1st place! Go Bromo! Yay!

My second activity was Wacky Relay. Now, this was fun. We had a crab-walk relay, an egg-and-spoon relay and a wheelbarrow relay. Now, Krakatau was really good at this. C'mon, Bromo! Beat Krakatau! I had to go twice for crab-walk. The whole time I was cheering for Bromo! I think Bromo did a good job. We came 3rd or 4th for crab-walk, came 1st or 2nd for egg-and-spoon relay and came 1st for wheelbarrow. Pretty good, eh?

After the two activities, we had a students-against-teachers basketball game. This time, I switched my gears to "Go 6th Graders!" 6th Graders creamed the teachers. 8-0. But I was surprised. Some teachers were really good at basketball, like Mrs. Schwartz and Mrs. Clark. I would have never thought of them playing basketball. But they were pretty good. Maybe even better than me, and I join GYBA(Girls Youth Basketball Association) every year. It was a thrilling game.

At last, the awarding of the cup! Who will get the Volcano cup for December 2009!!! Drumroll please! This was really a tense revelation! I crossed my toes, arms, fingers and legs and hoped that Bromo won the cup. Please, please, please! I closed my eyes and prayed for the best. And the cup goes to...Agung! Noooo! I was so disappointed-Bromo tried so hard. Noooo! I was dejected. But Bromo came third, and that counted for something, didn't it? The winning order was this:

First place: Agung

Second place: Krakatau

Third place: BROMO! YEAAHHH!

Fourth place: Salak

Fifth place: Rinjani

Sixth place: Merapi

At least Bromo came third and tried their best! Next time, Bromo will win!!! 

VPA concert

15th of December...2009! The Annual(?) VPA concert!!!! I'm in Strings, so naturally I'm a performer. Michelle and Maya are in Strings too, so we'll all go to FAT together. We're playing the Harry Potter theme song and this other song. I'm a little nervous...but not really. I'm not, because the Advanced Strings is playing too, so they sit on the outskirts of the Orchestra, facing the audience. Besides, I've practiced a lot. I will not make a mistake. I hope. I am performing at 1 and 6 p.m. today. It's English now, and as soon as I finish eating lunch, I have to get changed and go to FA6(Dr. Eng's office) and get my cello tuned, and then sit and PERFORM! Luckily, I'm not in Movement or anything so I don't have to change. The only thing I'm worried about is my shoes. I forgot them, and my Mom's not here right now and my maid doesn't know anything about my shoes(there's in a different closet) so I can't bring them to school. Michelle wore purple shoes today, and she brought black shoes so she said I could borrow her purple shoes. Thank God! Purple's a really dark color so hopefully Dr. Eng will not notice. I brought my clothes(black&white) and my rockstop so that's nothing to worry about. I think. So my one o'clock plans are set. But for my 6 o'clock, it's not so I'll set it right now. After VPA, I'm going to go to Maths lesson. It starts from 3:30 to 4:3o. Then I'll come home at about 5. I'll eat a really quick snack, then go to FA6 with my cello before 5:30. Then I'll perform again and then my VPA day would be finished. I can't wait till it finishes. I always hate concerts. They are sooo annoying. Really. I hate concerts. Because you need to wear Black&White, which I always forget, and I always need to bring my good cello to school! My cello weights like, a ton and it's not very pleasant to walk up the slope of the ramp with a heavy backpack, a folder, a shopping bag containing clothes and a heavy cello! It really sucks. :(

Break Time!!

Winter break is almost here! I can't wait for the sleeping-in days to begin again. It makes me happy just thinking about it. And for 3 weeks too! I am going to Singapore and Bali, and it will be relaxing, relaxing relaxing!!! YEAH! :-D. But this week's filled with tests. For example, I had a Math Summative today, have my Hydrocycle project due tomorrow or Friday, and a science test on Friday. That's what I hate about just before break starts. About three weeks before break starts, tests and projects practically pours itself on you. I had 4 projects and 3 tests coming up at the same time. It was very stressing. That's the first 2 weeks. Now it's a bit okay. Phew! Oh well. My mom keeps saying that I have to get used to it but it's still a little hard on me. In 5th grade, you barely had any homework. You had a three-page long packet that was not due until next week, (and that was only assigned about once in three months) and sometimes a page of math homework. But other than that, just reading. Maybe PIE was too easy on me. Hehe. Poor 5th graders. They will have to get used to MS when they come up. Just like we will have to for 7th Grade! Speaking of 7th Grade, some seventh graders told me that when you go up to 7th grade, you wish you went back to 6th grade. How is that possible? I mean, 6th grade is already hard enough, people. I don't need more homework or tests. And that's FINAL! Don't you agree, diary? At least that makes two of us. Anyway, back to my glorious, homework-free break imagination. I'll sleep in until 9 every morning, read, go on the computer, read more, do a teeny bit of my math homework, eat lunch, play,...etc. AND THEN! I WILL GO TO SINGAPORE AND BALI! THE BEACH! THE POOL! THE SHOPPING MALL!!! Aaaah! I can hardly wait. I'll probably come back from Singapore, my hands ladyn with shopping bags and from Bali, even more tanned then before. Yeah. I'll still write, like I am doing now. Yup. I'll sign up for the break writing. Although if Dad doesn't bring his laptop, that might not happen. But oh well. Everybody needs and wants a break. I am one of those people!
