Playing cards

Today, Gemma brought in a pack of cards to school for no particular reason and she taught us how to play Cheat. In case you don't know, Cheat is a card game in which you lay down a card that is either one higher or lower than the card that was put down by the previous person. No one can look at the cards so you can cheat if you like; so you would say a different card to the one you actually put down. However, if you got found out, you would have to have the whole pile of cards but if you were wrongly accused, the accuser would get the cards. Whoever ends up with the whole packof cards loses. We also played Irish Snap, lol Vaishandjali and Lizzy are useless at this game. Need to put them against each other to see who's the worse XD
We got so obssessed with the cards, we even played 21 in the corridors as we were walking XD. I never knew cards can be so fun :D

Da Bin Lou

Yesterday, it was my mum's friend's birthday so he invited my family to a restaurant to da bin lou and sing karaoke (Not that I sang of course; all the songs were chinese). The food was okay i suppose, but i swear it was nicer when we did da bin lou in christmas with Aunty Jannette. My dad gave Phoebe the mic and at first she didn't know what to do with it. After some experimentation, she realised she could shout into it so she spent the remainder of the time hogging the mic and shouting into it. It was rather sweet ^^
Because of this, I stayed up quite late to finish my homework. Really do need to start revising my PE; I have my PE GCSE theory in a few weeks time. Am so gonna fail. And I also need to start learning my chinese vocab. I am sooooooooooo behind :(
Too much homework...

...

I feel like hell today. My shoulders are sore. My waist is aching. My foot is hurting. And I have come up with a really bad cough, i literally can hardly breathe (am not exaggerating). When am i going to get better?! I don't like feeling sluggish and tired :( I didn't go to the charity shop today and I haven't been going for so many weeks. I don't even know if i can manage tennis on tuesday. I need to do my Geography and English as well :( and i don't really feel up for it.

Throat is killing me...

DofE practice

The DofE practice was hell! I came back from Belchampes with my shoulders aching and blisters on the sole of my feet. This was how we started off looking...
... and this was how we ended up looking
On the first day of walking, we started off really excited and cheery, then we got lost for about an hour and I guess that had really dampened our spirits so everyone slowed down (apart from Lyndsey, that girl didn't slow down even once during our walks!). Our shoulders were hurting like hell because of the rucksacks and our legs were aching so much. Because we were behind schedule, we had to change the route. We had to weave through a town and the map we were using doesn't show roads in towns very well, so we ended up lost again (The 2nd picture seen above is when we were sitting on a road while Lyndsey and Mr. Corfield was working out where we were). Haha no one knows where we were and Mr. Corfield had to ask 4 people in total to find out where we were and where we were suppose to be heading. It got gradually worse as we got closer to Belchampes. I think I would have collapsed and given up if I hadn't had Kat-tun to spur me on XD. Thank you Kat-tun for motivating me!!! Only my legs were working when we walked, my brain literally just completely shutted off. Lyndsey was talking to me about something and all i could manage was a nod and then Vaishandjali was asking me the time and i just pointed in the direction we were walking Lol XD. That was how bad it was.

Luckily, things did get better when we reached the campsite. We met up with Gemma :D, who was camping with her explorers people. Lol her friends were stealing our biscuits, eclaires and marshmallows. It was really fun, we chased each other around because of Lyndsey's shoes XD and we stole like half of Roxanne's biscuits so she, Vaish and Kaushi came and attacked our tents. We made a video of it but it's with Ez so i can't upload it.
<< This is the inside of our tent, it may look messy but it was actually very neat and organised. We had a bin, a torch hung up and our things were arranged nicely where we want it. It was very homely :)

The 2nd day was okay. We started off really late; we were the last group to leave but because of our determinationa and amazingness :) we were THIRD to finish the walk, which took us under 3 hours. We were amazing :D !!!

A crazy 'theory' :D

This weird 'theory' came up in RE, when we were doing a test on peace and conflict and we had to answer this question which was related to no wars between humans. And me, Esme and Lizzy were saying how stupid and horrible humans are when we are at war (or something along those lines) and this really weird idea came to me. The conversation:

Me: Wouldn't it be great if when countries need to fight against each other, they only send out one man each to do the fighting, and whoever wins, their country wins the 'war'
Esme: O my god yeah, and we can all watch it broadcasted live on the telly.
Lizzy: Yeah, that would actually be a great idea
Me: It doesn't have to be actual fighting fighting, they could like do... ermm..
Esme: Yeah yeah yeah, they could fight with their brains and stuff
Lizzy: Yeah, a bitch fight
Me: Haha, Bitch fight
Lizzy: Wait, no, actually it's called a cat fight
Esme: Yeah, we can send Lizzy out for that one
-We laugh-
Esme: Yay! We have found the answer to world peace!

Lol, so that was what happened before our RE test. Got to go to sleep now. Am very tired. Am going to go camping and walking tomorrow for Duke of Edinburgh. It's going to be hell. I tried on my rucksack and it weighs a tonne so think what it's going to be like if i had to walk for hours with it. My poor back :( I don't know how we are going to manage. Oh well, at least i will have Kat-tun with me on my mp3 :P

Conversation in maths

Me and Lizzy had a very interesting conversation in maths today. I was thinking about a song that Kat-tun sang called Never Again, and in the song Akanishi Jin sings very high note, which not even girls can reach. So i asked Lizzy (since she knows practically everything) about boys singing in high voices. This was kind of how the conversation went:

Me: How come boy singers can sing in such high voices?
Lizzy: -mumbles-
Me: They get high voices because they get their testicles cut off, don't they? (I heard about this somewhere, but I wasn't sure if it's true)
Lizzy: -Laughs hysterically-
Me: Oh, it's not their testicles is it?
Lizzy: -still laughing- Yes but they can naturally high singing voice.
Me: Omg, Jin is gay!
Lizzy: No! Boys don't turn gay just because they have their balls cut off
Me: So it is the testicles.
Lizzy: Yes!
Me:
Lizzy: They just can't have babies!
Me: But why do they cut off the testicles to get a high voice?
Lizzy: It's because of the testerone. They usually do it to young boys so it stops the testerone from getting to the boys so they can keep their singing voice. But i think it's illegal to do it to young boys now, I'm not sure.
Me: That's weird, a 30 year old man with a 10 yr old voice.

-We talked a little bit more about this then Lyndsey joined in with our conversation-

Lyndsey: Why do gay men have 'gay' voices?
Me: Yeah, why?!
-Both me and Lyndsey look at Lizzy-
Lizzy: Why are you looking at me?
Me: Coz you know these kind of things
Lizzy: Well, I dunno, they just do. Maybe they have a girly voice but they try to put on a masculine voice so it turns out to be a 'gay' voice. (She was joking here)
-Me and Lyndsey laugh-

Note:
Please do not take offense in this, this post was not meant to offend anyone. It is just a record of a conversation i had that i never want to forget.

Our musical...

Our project in music this term is musical. We have to get into groups to produce a musical. We have gotten into a group but we still haven't decided on what to do yet. It's been 3 weeks now i think since Mr. Humphrey had told us about this project. Everyone felt really excited about it in the first place, but we have gotten too... argumentative over this musical. We can't seem to agree on an idea. One person came up with the idea of a musical spoof of many other musicals. Half of us like it but the other half don't really like it.
For spoof musical:

1. It can combine all our ideas.
2. It's simple
3. We don't have to sing very well

Against spoof musical:

1. It has no proper plot
2. It will get too complicated
   
3. We would need too much costumes and sceneries
4. Generally do not like spoofs

I am not too keen on the spoof idea but I am willing to compromise as long as they have a decent storyline running through the spoof. I prefer The Singing Princess, but then i would, since i was the one who came up with it XD.
We had a 'meeting' in music today to discuss our ideas but we got absolutely no where. Still we can't agree on something. I suggested that we should split into two smaller groups but there were people who wants to do it as a big group. I guess it would be harder if we did it in groups of 4... Anyway, I am still going to carry on with the Singing Princess. I know the others don't like it (excluding Esme, Lizzy and Lyndsey) but i really really like it. So i want to finish the script and maybe me, Esme and Lizzy can film it in our own time somehow :D
I hope we get this thing sorted soon. This was suppose to be fun :( Why can't we agree?!

But then i guess if we all agreed with each other, we might as well be robots and lose our originality. God I'm weird; I'm contradicting myself.
