I just came back from a friend's house after I went to Playland. Playland was super fun, and I had an awesome time on the rides. I think that this field trip was very good because we were able to go on all the rides that we usually go on for about $30 more than what we paid for today. The only sad part was we had to do a couple worksheets, but other than that, it was awesome. Although the weather was not perfect and sunny, I'm not upset about it. The whole day was cloudy and there were only short rotations of rain, but other than that, the rain held up quite nicely.

I didn't buy any lunch there because I know that all the food at Playland is super over-priced, so I just brought a Subway. It was really good, and I was especially hungry, so that made it all the yummier. However, I did get some mini donuts. I just love those mini donuts because they are so hot, soft and perfectly sweet. It costs $3.50 for 12 mini donuts which is pretty expensive, but not that bad compared to everything else there is. 12 donuts is actually quite a lot and it really fills you up.

I went on about 7 rides. Once the gates opened, my 3 group members and I ran to the Wooden Roller coaster. By the time we got there, there was already a line up, but compared to other people, we got there pretty soon. I think my favourite ride in the whole entire Playland would be the Wooden Roller coaster and Crazy Beach Party. I actually went on the Wooden Roller coaster, Crazy Beach Party, Swings (I don't really know the actual name for this ride), Hell's Gate, Corskrew, Hellevator and Pirate Ship. I wanted to go on more, but we only got about 4 hours to finish all the worksheets, eat our lunch and go on the rides, so I think I did pretty well. The line ups were also pretty good and there were not as many people as usual. But then again, this wasn't a normal Playland day. Usually, all the rides that I lined up for are extremely busy because they are the most popular, so I am pretty glad that I was able to go on all of these while the line ups were not as long. Last blog, I said that I really wanted to go on the Hellevator and the Corkscrew, and I am glad that I was able to go. But to tell you the truth, I am disappointed in both the Corkscrew and the Hellevator. They weren't as fun as I had perceived and now I know that the Wooden Roller coaster and Crazy Beach Party is a lot better than either of them. But at least I have gone on both of them and I feel a sense of completion.

My random thought/statement of the day: Ah! My throat hurts so much after going on all those rides because I always scream or laugh. Even though the rides are not that scary, I still scream anyways because it adds on the fun or I start to laugh. :)

Tomorrow, I am going to Playland! I am so excited because I am going to go on a lot of rides. I have never been on the Hellevator or the Corkscrew, so those are the main rides I want to go on. My other favourite ride would be Crazy Beach Party and the Wooden Roller coaster is pretty cool too, but I still think Crazy Beach Party is the best. Crazy Beach Party is just like Pirate Ship except you get to spin a lot and that adds to the fun. Just thinking about all that fun is making me excited. Usually when I have a fun field trip like this, I have trouble sleeping. I really hope the weather holds up because I don't want it to be cold and rainy. That would just ruin the whole fun. I mean, who would want to go on the Hellevator when it is raining? Not me, because I wouldn't be able to see anything from the top which is one of the best parts. That is also why I love going on the Ferris Wheel, you can see all the tiny spots of people and scout out the short line up rides. It is so much fun and relaxing!

My random thought/statement of the day: Gosh, I am getting more and more excited!

In 2 days, we are going to Playland. I am super excited, but the weather doesn't seem to be too great, so I am hoping for a nice sunny day. But that doesn't seem to be on the menu so I am now hoping for a no-rain day. I can deal with cold temperatures and clouds, but I don't think riding rides when it is raining will be too fun. Especially since we have a couple worksheets to do. I am scared that the worksheets are going to get all soggy, and our paper G meters are probably going to get soggy too. So that is why good weather is extremely important. I really like going on the rides, so I am looking forward to going on them with my friends.

My random thought/statement of the day: Today, we were a part of the audience for these awesome presentations (I forgot the name for them, but I remember it was like a tongue twister). The presentations were about charities or organizations that help the people that either have disabilities, or they have social problems. I was one of the judges, and I thought that they were all really nicely done. In the end, the 1 winner out of the 4 presentations gets $5000 to give to whichever organization they presented on. I think this idea is really good, and it helps everyone. In other words, it's a win-win activity.

For P.E today, we started on a new unit- softball. I have never actually played softball, but it seems a lot like baseball. Since a lot of people have never played before (like me) after doing the warm-up run, we paired up and just practiced throwing and catching with the mitts on. The gloves feel really hard, so I found the flexibility to be very hard. (It's a good thing I chose an old glove because if I chose a new one, it would have been even harder to move my hand.) At first, my partner and I both were not too good (we both have never played before) but after a while, we got the hang of it, and we were catching most of them. I am also super grateful that we didn't use the actual ones because the official ones are super hard and could take out several teeth. Instead, we just used these soft-ish ones that were bright yellow and therefor, easy to see. I was hit several times by the soft-ish balls due to my inexperienced catching, and I noticed that it just stings a lot when it hits you. Imagine if I was hit by one of those white ones! Ouch! It was also super windy today, so sometimes I would throw the ball into the air only to find it being carried along with the wind. In the end, after we finished tossing and catching the ball, we played a game of California kickball.

My random thought/statement of the day: Yay, there are so many field trips to look forward to.

Oh great, it's already 2:16pm. But that's okay, I don't have too much homework. Well, I have some but not as much as usual, so that is considered a little. Today is such a beautiful day and I am glad that it is sunny and nice looking because the weather forecast said that it is going to rain today and all of next week. I know that next week won't be too sunny, but it's good that right now it's not raining.

This morning, I signed up for my piano exam for this summer, so I really have to practice lots. It seems that every year, the piano exam fee gets higher and higher. It's crazy how much a piano exam costs. The examiners must be rolling in money, because practically everyone I know plays a musical instrument, and they usually take an exam.

My random thought/statement of the day: I love reading comic books.

I can't wait until the awesome field trip to Playland next week. Even though we have to do worksheets that will be marked, we also get to have some fun and go on the rides. I have never been on the Hellevator or the Corkscrew, so my goal is to go on both of them. I have been on all the other major rides, but it's these 2 rides that always have super long line ups, so I usually just skip them and go to the other ones like the Wooden Roller coaster etc. I really like going on super crazy roller coasters like the Corkscrew. I'm not too crazy about the Hellevator because those rides make my stomach feel funny, but I have never been on that particular one, and all my friends say that it is awesome, so I am trusting that it will be totally cool!

On a seperate field trip, I am going to the Lonsdale Quay via transit, and it sounds really fun. We are going to be knitting on transit, so that sounds like fun and I went onto the Lonsdale Quay's website and it seems really interesting. I have already decided to buy my lunch there because the food court food seems really good. Plus, I really like knitting and maybe by the end of the trip, I would have knitting half the scarf.

My random thought/statement of the day: YES! I love going on field trips, and there are a couple field trips in May!

I really dislike Fridays because the next day is Chinese school! Just thinking about Chinese school gives me a headache but it's mostly because I need more sleep. Last night, I was so excited about today's track and field meet that I didn't sleep much. But that's okay because I am planning on taking a 30 minute nap after blogging and then after that, I can practice piano and then do my theory. I also have to finish studying for my Chinese dictation and do my Chinese homework.

But enough about that, this track and field meet was super duper fun and I was apart of 2 events. I did the 800 meters (not a relay) and got second place, and I also did the medley with 3 of my friends and we got third place. The meet was really fun and I think my favourite part would be cheering my friends on and when I race, hearing other people cheer me on. It's really nice and it gives me confidence and I know there are people who support me. During the 800 meters, I wasn't out of breath, but afterwards, my legs felt like jelly. The medley was not as hard because I only had to run 100 meters, so I wasn't out of breath at all. Just a little tired. P.E has really helped me get into shape because if someone had told me to run the 800 meters before these classes of P.E, I would probably be pooped out, but thanks to P.E, I am a lot better and it has really helped me get into shape.

My random thought/statement of the day: This year's track and field meet was really fun partly because everyone was energetic and also because the weather was really great. It was hot, but at the same time, it wasn't burning hot and the winds were also really refreshing.
