IPODS!

YAY I got an IPod.... shuffle. Although it's the oldest one in the IPod generation, I LOVE IT. (compare it to my last MP4, it's awesome) My family friend forgot about my birthday, and she felt bad, so she bought me it! It's BLUE (my second favourite colour) and 2GB. I imported ALL the CD's me and my sister had, (like Justin Bieber, Marianas Trench, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, etc.) and put them into my IPod. When I made an ITunes account, I used my sister's credit card, so I couldn't purchase any songs, However, with my amazing persuading skills, she let me download one song per month ;D So, after deciding a whole day, I downloaded "Whadya Want From Me -Adam Lambert" (She didn't let me download Baby by Justin Bieber because she hates him as much as Tracy does. xD) I wonder if I give my sister a foot massage, she would let me download 2 songs per month? Hmm. Worth a try. :)

Here are some facts about IPods:

• IPods were created by the Apple Company.
• The types of IPods are: IPod shuffle, IPod Nano, IPod Touch, IPod Classic, and IPhone.
• It is the most popular music player today.
• IPod's maximum volume can go up to 120 decibles, which is the same as standing beside a jet plane taking off.
• On September 1, 2004, ITunes hit 125 million songs downloaded.
• IPods have a short battery life and are very fragile.
• They come in many colours :)
• The new IPod Nano has a camera in it.

I think that the IPod is the best portable music device ever! The one I REALLY REALLY want the most is the IPhone. (Although my mom won't let me get a cell phone until high school)

My long weekend

Hi! I'm blogging at school! Haha I didn't even touch my pencil today or do any work because more than half of the class is gone at the OBA (Ontario Band Association, I think?) I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE LONG WEEKEND! -just.. two.. more.. periods!!- I don't have piano class tonight because my piano teacher left and went to Malaysia for an emergency, tomorrow, I'm going to my friend's house for Chinese New Year for almost the whole day! (I'm not THAT excited for that because I'm not that close to them) On Sunday, I have art class in the morning, then we're going "yum-chaaing". (aka. eating dimsum) Afterwards, my sister and I are going to watch "Valentines Day" at Scarborough Town Centre, and go shopping after!!! (I have a lotttt of gift cards to spend from my birthday party, thanks to all my friends :D ) I don't think our family has any plans for Family Day though :(. I guess I'll have to finish all my homework on that day.
At school, I made up a fun and random game called "DUDEEE". You have to say "dude" in every sentence (but only to people that are also in the competition) To make the game last longer, each person has 2 "lives". Andrew already lost 2. haha. Some people that are in the game are: Sarranya, Subaniya, me, Joni, Andrew, Tracy, Oscar, and Sophie.

On Friday, our family went out for dinner at this Chinese restaurant. I felt happier because I didn't have to go to piano class :D When we went back home, the Olympic opening ceremony already started, but we watched the rest of it. It was very very breathtaking. It wasn't better than the Beijing one, but I liked all the effects and technology that was used. I also liked Nelly Furtado and Katie Lang's performance. Another thing I really liked was how they showed Canada's muliculture and diversity. A lot of the ceremony was related to the Aboriginal people, I think that Katie Lang symbolized the homosexual Canadians (yes, she's gay) and each of the different performances show Canada's seasons and regions (i.e., the Prairies)
On Saturday, I slept in VERY late because the Olympics were very long the night before. I woke up in time for lunch. I did some of my homework, then at about 4:00, we went to my cousin's house to visit them for about an hour. Then, we went to our family friend's house. We had to go so early because my mom and dad had to cook most of the food. I watched House for the whole time until dinner. After a very big feast, we played Wii while the adults were chatting over tea. I was a little bored because they only had Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, and I played the same games over and over again until MIDNIGHT. We finally left, and I went to sleep at 2:00 a.m! The next morning, I woke up in time for lunch (again) and we (our whole family) went to yum-cha. :D Afterwards, my sister and I went straight to watch Valentines Day at the AMC 20. It was very funny. Then, we went to Scarborough Town Centre to go SHOPPING!!! My sister practically stops at EVERY store, so I didn't get a chance to use the gift cards I got for my birthday. I did, however, get Taylor Swift's Fearless Platinum Edition CD and bought a shirt at Bluenotes. I SAW SOPHIE AT BLUENOTES!! :D By the time we got to Aeropostale, it was already 5, and while trying some clothes on, the employees had to shoo us out because they were already closing. :( So to our disappointment, (or, to MY disappointment) we had to go home. Family Day wasn't exactly "family". My sister had to leave right after lunch to go back to Peterborough. I spent the day doing homework. After I went to art class, I went to Phoebe's house for dinner and we hung out for a while.

Back to school the next day. xP
