Today I went to Fabricana.
As you can see it is almost the next day, so I am typing very fast right now.
So for textiles 10 we needed to buy fabric for making a pyjamas, our teacher gave us a 5 dollar coupon, for the Fabricana in Richmond so my auntie drove me there.
It took me awhile to find my cloth but I got a really pretty one.
The place was so huge!!!
I wanted to add that I found these really cute buttons to match my fabric, and I also got a 10% discount. It was so fun, there were so much cool stuff that I have always wanted, but never really known where to get them. I saw lots of fabric that you can make a Halloween costume out of. I was wondering if I can ever get to make my own Halloween costume. If I did one day, it was be beyond awesome, but I think I will start with the pyjamas first.
Sewing is actually really fun, can't wait to do more projects!!!
(I got home really late today, because I went to a friend's house and we played Wii. Super Mario Bros. is ULTIMATE FUN)

SLEEP
I NEED TO SLEEP MORE.
I find that I feel more and more tired everyday. Why? Because I don't sleep enough.
I sleep later and later, even when I try to sleep earlier, I still sleep late.
Like yesterday, I got home at around 5:30, did homework, played piano for 1 and a half hour, ate dinner, did some other stuff and BAM! It was already 10:00. Then I went on g-mail and talked to others bout our projects. 10:30. It was too late.
This morning I got up at 6:00 in the morning, because I have choir at 7:30, and I have to get to school a little earlier. Lets just say I fell asleep at 11:00. Then I would have only slept for 7 hours today.
7 hours. My mom said that growing kids my age need at lest 8 hours of sleep, best would be 9 to 10 hours.
I didn't even get to 8 hours yet. I was really tired all day, and had an urge to close my eyes. But school kept me awake as usual, but maybe not as sharp I would have been if I had slept well.
Today was a really long day, which involved me going to down town with my auntie, and coming home really late. And I am writing this blog, but I really want to sleep.
When I mean I want to sleep, I mean I want to close my eyes and rest, but for some strange reason my head as clear as the afternoon skies. No clouds at all. It must be some hyper thing, but I know I need my sleep because when you sleep you don't just rest, you also grow. If you don't sleep enough, you won't grow. And because I still consider myself as short, I want to grow. If I want to grow, then I will start helping by sleeping right after I post this blog.
So good night to whoever is reading this blog, when ever you are reading it. Because, admit it, sleeping is AWESOME!!!

Journals
I love writing stuff, especially my thoughts, but lately, I haven't been writing a lot.
I blame it on the computers. When I went back to China this summer, even though we had a computer at home, there was no Internet. SO every few days I would take out my favourite notebook and pour my heart out. Now that I have a computer, all I do all day is type type and type. I would really love to write but, if I don't type I can't send e-mails, if I don't type I can't make power points, if I don't type I can research information on Google. Typing. Typing. Typing. I miss writing in pen, seeing my handwriting flow over a piece of paper, I miss hearing the sound of the tip of my pen stroking the paper. Yet still, I do not write.
This blog is kind of like my journal now. Except I won't write too personal stuff in it because everyone can see this if they want to. Even though I don't write now, at least I have this blog to record my life. So one day when I have posted 1000 blogs, I can come back and read it all as if it were a mini book.

PHOTOS ^^
Here are some pictures I took:
This is my favourite picture of all times.
It looks like that tree has a white dreamy hat on.
I love blue skies.
When I was in China it was literally impossible to see blue skies, even when they are blue it was never as pretty as it was here in Vancouver.
I was going to post my pictures from Singapore today,
but I realized that ever since getting back to Vancouver, I have never up loaded my picture from the summer onto the computer.
So I guess another time then!

Singpore #2
Sorry, I just thought that my paragraph is too long, so I decided to post it in 2 days.
Back to my trip to Singapore:
On the night of the second day we took a ferry to Indonesia. I think it was a little Island on the coast which was really close to Singapore, so many people went to Singapore first and then take the ferry there like we did. The island was like a tropical paradise. I had the most fun walking along the sandy beach, picking up sea shells, and building sand castles. I have to admit I have never build a proper sand castle until that day in Indonesia on the beach. It was a sensation.
We stayed there for 2 nights, during which we also visited the mangrove forest, and I had my first durian. I think that is what you call it... Even though it smells kind of strange but it tastes very rich. It isn't my favourite fruit but it was nice to try different stuff.
On the fourth day we were in Singapore and we went to ride the Singapore Flyer. It was like a really big Ferris Wheel, and it was really tall and big. In one of the compartments I saw dining tables and sofas. They say people can actually eat there.I think it would be really cool to eat dinner on top of Singapore^^. After that we went on a duck boat. The duck boat is such a cool little invention, it is a car and a boat in one. It is like a really tall boat with wheels on the end. We saw the famous Singapore Merlion, and a lot of other famous buildings of Singapore's on the duck boat. That night we went to the Night Safari. It was a zoo at night. I couldn't see a lot of animals but it was really interesting. Usually people go to the zoo in the morning, they see all these animals that come out in the day. But some animals only start the day when the sun goes down, and in a normal zoo we would never get to see them.
Finally the last day of my exiting adventure, we went to the Singapore Botanical garden. I took so many pictures that my hands were sore. Of course I have been taking pictures for the whole trip, but I almost took a picture of every single plant in the Singapore National Orchid Garden. Why would I do that? Because my grandmother in China loves flowers and plants, she also loves photography. Even though she could not come with us to Singapore, I could at least take a picture of every exotic flowers there is for her to see.
Our plane was in the afternoon that day, so we decided to go and eat Singapore's famous Yakun Toasted Bread (I think that is how you say it). It was totally delicious.
When we got home that night, I was relieved yet sad at the same time. It was a long trip and lots of things happened. Even when we were in the airport something exciting managed to happen. I lost my new necklace that I just got from Universal Studios. I think it wasn't fastened around my neck properly, and so when I moved too much it just fell off... I was sad, but oh well. My mom said that it was okay, it meant that I am meant to go back to Singapore one day because I left my souvenir there this time.
I really enjoy travelling, just thinking about the world, so big, so vast, so very beautiful. There are so many places I have not seen yet, or heard of. But, I don't want to travel the world, all I wish is to be with my family and those who I love. It doesn't really matter where I am, as long as they are with me.

SUMMER
I have been wanting to write about my summer for along time, but for some reason I always forget and I write about something else.
This summer I went back to China, being alone on the plane sucks. My plane landed in Guangzhou airport, and then I had to change to another plane that flew to Shanghai. It was a very long day. I had calculated and it turned out that ever since I got up in the morning still in Vancouver I have not slept in a proper bed for more than 24 hours. I was really tiring, but worth it.
This summer I got to see my grandparents, and my old friends from China. I was so excited to see them, and we shopped in a mall for a whole day. I also did a lot of shopping on my own. Everything in China was cheaper than in Canada, so I bought some school stuff such as pens and pencil for school this year.
I thought the highlight of my summer was actually going to Singapore. My mom took me and my brother on a 5 day Singapore vacation. If you minus 1 day on the plane back and forth we spent 4 days in Singapore.
When I first got to Singapore my first thought was WOW. It was really clean there. The road looked clean and new, and by the road was lots and lots of tropical plants such as palm trees and others. It was simply beautiful. We first went and spent a night in Resort World Sentosa, in which I visited the Universal Studios. I thought the Universal Studious was just like a mini Disney World with awesome roller coasters. I had a blast there.
I actually wrote much more, but it was really really really long. So I have decided to post it tomorrow. That is all for today. I will post the rest of my awesome trip tomorrow.

Yard Sale!!!!
Yard Sale
Today my friend had a yard sale!!!
Me and my cousin's friend and her friend put their stuff on mats on the grass, they put out clothes, jewellery, bags, books, and even some scarves.
It was such a good day today. It was really sunny and hot in the morning, the sky was blue and birds where chirping. My friend had put out signs on the streets and on the light posts. At first there wasn't a lot of people, but after a while a bunch of people came, and they bought lots of the necklaces and clothe. But then it happened.
My friend got stunned by a bee.
She said the bee was just on her finger, but because there was people who was buying stuff in front of her, she didn't want to look at it and shake it off. So the bee stung her, and she came running into our house and we rinsed the wound under cold water. My cousin checked on the Internet and it said to put ice on it, so we gave her a pack of ice. And our neighbour heard and gave my friend some kind of white medicine to apply to the wound. She felt much better after that, she said that the bee sting hurt and was a little itchy. It was really intense, I mean her finger started swelling after like 5 minutes, but I think it didn't swell too much afterwards because we put ice on it.
Everything was normal for another couple of hours, not much people came to our yard sale. I thought it was probably because the signs weren't big enough or something like that. And my friend, who seems like the unluckiest person in the world today, got crow poop on her head. I mean she said she was telling this crow to stop talking ( I wasn't there), and it just pooped on her head. It got onto her pony tail, so my cousin used water and wet towels to get it all off. Is she the unluckiest person today or what???
But good news is that she made $45 off of her yard sale. It was totally worth it, and she donated the rest of the stuff to charity. Well, she just donated it, which means she putted it in the donation bin near our house.
It was such a long day, and I look forward to having my own yard sale one day. I would have taken some of my stuff out today, but I just couldn't do it. No matter how useless some stuff I have is, I just can't get myself to actually sell them. They take up space in my room and make it kinda messy, but I like it that way. It remind me of who I am and it makes my room feel more like home.
Maybe it is because of growing up, time passes so fast when you are having fun. I just don't feel like letting go of my childhood yet (even though I am technically still a child), I feel like I have grown so much throughout the passed few years. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't grow up, everything would be perfect if I just stayed this way and never changed. But time still flies right by. At least when every year passes I still have those stuff, the junk and the useless stuff that holds all my memories, to remind me of who I was five years ago, one years ago, a month ago. Sometimes even a day. I start to notice stuff in life. The first time I took a cab by myself, or maybe the first time I was on a plane by myself, the first time I cooked dinner for my whole family. Small things in life start to jump out of nowhere and remind you that you are growing up every single day.
Now I am going to go to bed, but one day when I grow up and can finally let go of my childhood. I will have my own yard sale. When that time comes, at least I can still read this blog, and think back to this very day.
Happy Yard Sale!!!

Bad Things Happen ON Friday.
Wow.
Look at the time, it is already 11:34. I am still here, writing my blog. I would have written earlier, but see it all went like this.
I got home at around 6:15 (I went out shopping right after school), and my cousin was waiting for me, because she didn't bring her house key. And so I went and opened the door, and we went in. But then her friend asked us if we wanted to eat dinner at her place, because we didn't have anything to do any ways we agreed. So we took our jacket and went out. The instant my cousin closes the door, she asked me: "Did you bring your key?". So I said: "No, OMG. I can't believe this." (or something like that). But basically that is the story of how we got ourselves locked out of the house.
My cousin could drive but she didn't have a car, and no one was coming back until 11 because they were all working or something. So we just went to our friends house, she is a home stay and happens to be our neighbour. So we ate dinner, and just talked and talked and talked, until it was around 11:15. When someone gets back and opens the door for us.
This is actually the second time I got locked out of the house this week. Just yesterday I forgot to put my keys in my backpack, so I was locked out of the house after school and no one was home. So I just took a bus and went to the nearest library and used the computers there to do some homework.
Basically getting locked out of the house sucks. I would rather I have a key or something but choose not to go in. My keys. My keys. My keys. It seems like I am forgetting them a lot these days. Maybe I should get a bigger key chain.
Now I am finally in my sweet sweet room, sitting in my lovely chair, and longing for my soft bed...
So now I am going to bed and sleep for a very very very long time^^.
What a long day. I will have to remember my keys next time...

Cross Words
When I sit on the bus home everyday, I see people holding 24H newspapers and doing the crossword.
The first time I have done the crossword was when my cousins friend was doing it and asked me to help her. She was really good at it.
So today after school, when I saw all the 24H stacked together by the front door, I decided to get one and do the cross word.
I don't know what to expect, but it was harder than I thought. I wasn't able to finish it at all, not even close. That was when I realize how interesting and fun the crossword was!!! I also realized how much vocabulary and a bunch of other information about movie, story, and music.
I have decided to do the daily crossword everyday. I think it will help me improve my vocabulary, and also help me think and have fun at the same time.
So now, I leave it at this. Because right now I need to get back to my help finished crossword.
Does anyone know the word for "__though:albeit"?

Recycling!!!
Today after school my friends and I went to find the recycling club.
We found them in the Cafeteria, and asked if we could join them. It was a 'yes' of course, so we went and grabbed our gloves and started finding recycling bins.
When we came back to the cafeteria holding a big blue recycle bin, the cafeteria was already full of big and small blue containers filled with bottles, cans and juice boxes. We immediately got to work. We separated the soda cans from the juice boxes, the plastic bottles from the glass ones. You'd be surprised at how many bottles and cans there were. I was good that there was a lot of people helping each other out, and everyone was just sorting bottles and pitching in.
There was so many bottles I don't even bother to count them. When we were sorting everything out, we had to dump any left over water from the cans and bottles into a bucket. There were so much waste. We even found a couple of juice boxes and drinks that were never opened. I mean who would throw away a brand new bottle of green tea? Or Gatorade? Or strawberry flavoured milk tea? I have no clue, but it was just a waste of money and resource. I am not sure what happened to them, but I think some might have been completely dumped. A good bottle of water, just like that, down the drain...
I have realized how much food and resource we waste everyday. For example if you could have bothered to finish your bottle of Dr. Pepper, or maybe your box of apple juice, it would not just save the people who clean out the bottles, it would also help save our environment. Think about it, is can of soda pop more useful in your stomach, or more useful dumped in a drain?
People consume a lot of stuff everyday, maybe you say "I drink only one bottle of water a day (as in plastic bottle)", if everyone said that, then the world would be so littered with plastic bottles we don't even have the time to deal with it. Of course, that is already the case, which is why we shouldn't drink bottled water any more.
Unfortunately I still have a whole stack of bottled water in our garage, I think I will finish it first, better not waste it. After that I think I will use a mug or something. I mean it wouldn't be fair if I am lecturing people today and not even doing what I tell other people to do. I really have to start taking my own advice...
I really think that recycling can help, and it is not just about people buying less plastic bottles, or recycling once in a decade, it is about people understanding what a serious situation this is. Our environment is slowing being destroyed by us, because we are selfish and wish for more comfort in life. People don't realize this yet, I don't even think I realize it yet.
I don't believe in changing the world or anything like that. I think that we should start from the small stuff. Like not using plastic bottles or recycling used paper and maybe even not throwing garbage everywhere. I believe that every small detail can help.
Joining recycling club has been a fun experience, I hope I can help out more. I am living in my own little world, and life is really just like a very long dream. I hope that I can make the best out of it, and try to make a difference for the sake of all those who lived before us and more importantly all those who will live after.

Our environment is slowing being destroyed by us, because we are selfish and wish for more comfort in life. People don't realize this yet, I don't even think I realize it yet.
I don't believe in changing the world or anything like that. I think that we should start from the small stuff. Like not using plastic bottles or recycling used paper and maybe even not throwing garbage everywhere. I believe that every small detail can help.
Joining recycling club has been a fun experience, I hope I can help out more. I am living in my own little world, and life is really just like a very long dream. I hope that I can make the best out of it, and try to make a difference for the sake of all those who lived before us and more importantly all those who will live after.

Speech
The power of speech is incredible. I believe that if you can defeat someone using only words or simple will power, than it is much harder than just using pure strength. Politicians, presidents, leaders around the world use only words to motivate and move people everywhere.
When these people speak, they have the power to change the way you are thinking to guide your train of thoughts towards the way they want it to go. They have the power to capture your attention, go inside your head and shuffle through your thoughts. They have the power to inspire you, to bring out your emotions, to make sparks fly inside your heart.
I think that if someone can be able to grasp the full power of speech, than he/she is much stronger, and more dangerous than anyone who uses physical strength.
Usually for speakers nowadays, their main job is to persuade you, inspire you, and some times even to entertain you. I find that in speeches, it is hardest for me is to do the "entertaining" part.
My dad always said that the best way to start a speech is to tell a joke. It doesn't necessarily have to be related, just something to grab the audiences' full attention. I think it is called the "hook".
Unfortunately I am someone who has a lack of humour. I just don't like to make jokes and stuff, it is not like I am dead serious, I just have a different kind of humour. My kind of humour is the crazy stories, playing with words kind of humour. So when writing a speech I find it hardest to include a joke that is short and is easy for other people to understand.
Speeches are something I have to work on, I believe it is a very valuable skill in the future and will be tested on a very daily bases.
Even though today I didn't get elected for secretary at Debate Club, I think I will try again next year. It was a great experience, and really hope that one day, I can learn to use the power of speech too.

Mondays
Today is another cold monday. Today is also picture day.
I am glad I didn't forget that it was picture day today, because I know some people did. people taking your pictures in school when you are not prepared for it is not a good feeling.
I thought today actually passed very fast. Usually I have always felt that Mondays were the slowest day in a week. Technically it should be Friday because on Fridays you know that when the day ends you will have a whole weekend to rest and not get up at 7:00 every moring. Or maybe Wednesdays, because it is the middle day of a week and you are just over the "excitment" of coming back to school but not yet starting to hope for the weekends to start.
But Mondays are the slowest for me. I think it is because I just had a whole weekend of relaxing, and on Monday I have to go back into the routine of getting up, going to school and everything.
My favorite day in the week is Friday, of course, but other than that I really like Wednesdays too. When Thursdays comes, I keep thinking it is Friday, it kinda makes you sad when your hopes gets crushed.
I really like going to school and it is really awesome to just see and talk to your friends. I wonder how I'd be like if I was stuck home all day alone with only my family. What a miserable scene, I would much rather go to school than stay at home.
So yeah, my Monday was slow, and it ended with my off timetable choir class. We are currently preparing for Rememberance Day, which we will be performing for the school. I think it should be our very first performance. The songs are really good, I was getting goose bumps and shivering inside the whole time while I was singing it. It had such a big affect on me, I wonder why I never felt it when I was listening to it in the crowds. There was so much sadness, so much emotion in the songs...
Well I am having a speech tomorrow for Debate Club and I hope I do well. Maybe I will post my speech tomorrow, definately something interesting to write about.

Glee
I don't know why, ever since I went to off timetable choir and heard the song "Lucky" I got totally obsessed with it. I mean it is such a great song, very simple and the singers' voices are really good. It was just pure music, not filled with all the electronics or background music.
So because of this song, I decided to watch Glee. Which is what I am doing now. I think Glee is a great TV show, and it really has a lot of deep meanings to it. But sometimes I think it is kinda weird. I mean they are making high school seem like this whole big movie, with lies, vilans, and all those evil people. I guess that is how TV shows are. They have to make it more "interesting", even though it gets more and more unrealistic.
I enjoy listening to the songs in Glee, and think it is a great TV show. I heard a lot of people like it. Maybe watching this TV show might help me with me singing in choir. After all the Glee club does involve a lot of singing, and dancing, and expressing who you are, which I think high school students should do more.
Okay, I am going back to watching the TV show. Oh yeah, it is Picture Day tomorrow, I wonder when we are getting our Go Cards...
Well, there goes my weekend.

Here is a Fable I wrote when I was in grade 6.
I wonder if you get the story... There might be some grammar mistakes or something.
This is the original file I wrote, I think I was 10 or 11 when I wrote this...
“Thank you. Now please leave me alone, I must get some sleep.” The ladybug tried to sleep, but the caterpillar kept babbling about the weather forecast saying there will be showers tomorrow caused by condensation. The ladybug was really annoyed and said, “Stop talking! I can’t sleep!”
I wonder if you get the story... There might be some grammar mistakes or something.
This is the original file I wrote, I think I was 10 or 11 when I wrote this...
On the first day of springtime, a lonely lady bug was flying by. The ladybug was tired and landed on a crocus, when suddenly a grasshopper jumped on too. The nice grasshopper said, “Hello! My name is Glen. Isn’t spring lovely?”
The ladybug answered arrogantly, “Spring is lovely, but you are not. Look at those ugly clothe you are wearing!”
“How rude of you, my mother said that my coat is quite nice, the amber green matches my skin perfectly. Now if you are willing to say sorry, I will forgive you. Maybe we can be friends.” The grasshopper answered.
“Say sorry? No thanks. Anyways, you’re not good enough to be my friend. Bye-bye.” The ladybug said coldly. So with that, the ladybug took flight, and flew away.
Soon it began to rain, and the lady bug used a fallen leaf as her umbrella. That is when she heard someone shouting, “Stop! Don’t go! Wait!”
When the ladybug turned around, she saw a soaking wet monarch waving her hands at her. So she stopped, and let the monarch catch up with her.
After the monarch catched up, she said, “Thank you so much for waiting for me. Do you mind if you share your umbrella with me? I can’t fly in rain.”
“What? But look at you? You are wet, and if I let you share my umbrella you might ruin my dress! And this leaf is fairly small, if we share, I might get wet from the rain! So no, of course you can’t share an umbrella with me.” The ladybug answered.
“But I can’t fly in the rain! And it looks like it isn’t going to stop. My mom would worry for me if I don’t get back home soon. So please let me share the umbrella with you.” The monarch pleaded.
“NO! This is my umbrella, and I don’t care if your mom worries for you. This is none of my business. Solve your own problems, I must be going now. Good-bye.” The ladybug said. So the ladybug continued to fly forward.
After the rain stopped, the ladybug sat on a meadow, and watched flowers bloom. Just when the lovely ladybug was falling asleep, a small voice said, “Hello!”
This startled the sleepy ladybug and she said, “Who is there?” She did not see the pale green caterpillar lying on the leaves of a dandelion.
“Hello! I’m here! Nice to meet you, I just wanted to complement you on how beautiful your dress is!”
So the little caterpillar shushed and didn’t say another word.
The next day was sunny and bright. But not for long, that afternoon there was a terrible thunderstorm. At first the sky went black, and you could hear the sky rumble. Suddenly lightening flashed and destroyed anything that was in its way. Rain drops the size of balloons dropped down. The poor little ladybug had no where to go, so s he hid under a mushroom to keep safe.
When she saw a grasshopper pass by, she immediately remembered that it was the one she met yesterday, so she yelled at him saying, “Help!! Help me!! I am the pretty ladybug from yesterday! Help!”
The grasshopper shot a glance at the ladybug, and kept moving forward without stopping. Soon he was out of sight. The lady bug was really angry, if he saw me then why didn’t he help me? The ladybug pondered.
Then she saw a monarch carrying a caterpillar fly by, she recognized them too. She yelled help, but the roar of the sky drowned her words. They passed by without noticing the ladybug.
The storm lasted for a whole day, the depressed ladybug sat under the mushroom crying like a baby. After the storm ended, the crying ladybug pulled her self together, and promised to herself that she would be nicer and friendlier.
The ladybug wanted to say sorry to the grasshopper, monarch, and the little caterpillar, yet she did not know how. So she decided to send each of them a small bouquet and a card, asking for forgiveness.
When the grasshopper, monarch, and caterpillar received the bouquet they were happy, and had forgiven the ladybug.
After that the grasshopper, monarch, caterpillar, and ladybug was best friends. And the ladybug was never mean to anyone else again, she had learned her lesson. If you want a friend, than be a friend.
I think I will be posting more of the stuff I wrote when I was small.
One of my dreams is to write a book you know^^
Wish me luck

Why I named my blog Lucky Clover
Lucky Clovers
P.S Who ever reading this is going to get really bored.
I mean it

P.S Who ever reading this is going to get really bored.
I mean it

So this is my very first Blog and I have no idea what to write.
I decided to explain why I named my Blog Lucky Clover
Yes...Very boring
I am kinda superstitious and believe in luck.
It is said that 4 leaf clovers were to have good luck.
So I decided to use it as my name for various things.
My cousin once found a patch of lucky clovers in her friend's back yard.
I thought she was sooooo Lucky!!
(Because secretly I have been trying to find them for years, but sadly...)
Q&As
Did you know that 4 leaf clovers are not actually "lucky"?
Because most clovers have 3 leaves, and the Lucky Clover has 4. They are the "mutant" of the clover family.
But even so they are special and very different from the other clovers
I guess I hope I can keep this blog going and have fun doing it...
I told you this is all very boring...
