Creative Writing
Sunday, February 22, 2009Well I just had to produce a piece of creative writing recently. The theme was called "Chapter 1", that means we had to write a chapter one of a book. You could choose your story to be of any genre, sci-fi,western,crime,romance,fantasy,etc...Well I think mine is the most random of the lot.lol. I just wrote while I thought and this is what came out.
The Keys were always known to be impulsive, crazy, adventurous and sometimes even weird. The family consisted of a middle-aged dad who used to be a hippie, a mum who was in a rock band, two boys, a little girl, their grandmother who was always on the rocking chair sleeping and their long floppy eared dog who had a thing for ties.
You should have seen their house, it looked like a wreck. Some say lightning struck it more than once. No doubt they were poor but neither did they care, their famous line, “What’s not broken can’t be fixed.” Sometimes it would seem that Mrs. Keys was reliving her teenage days with the amount of noise coming out of the house and sometimes it would seem that Mr. Keys was giving his kids meditation classes from his hippie days. You could never tell what would happen next in that household.
Mr. Keys worked as a real estate agent and didn’t earn as much as the average Joe. He was six feet tall, had long blonde hair, a little chubbier than what he used to be and a piercing on his left ear. Sometimes he sounded like a beauty pageant, the way he talked about world peace and how he wanted to help the world. Mrs. Keys was almost the opposite, she had short black hair, both ears pierced including the nose, maintained her slim figure and loved metal. She has mellowed down a little since she met Mr. Keys and became a mother, but she was still a rocker at heart.
Their oldest son Falcon, named after Mrs. Keys’ band, was a bit like both of his parents. He was wild, but not too wild to put it simply. He was 13 years old, well built from the tennis he played, pierced ears and a long blonde fringe that almost covered his left eye. He loved to read, write, play his electric guitar and his hobby was collecting guitar picks. Daryl was the second oldest, named after Mr. Keys favourite baseball player and probably the wildest of the lot. He was 10 years old, had spiky black hair, a piercing on his right ear and the rebel of the house. He played the drums and had a great interest in tattoos. If you were to ask him what he wanted to be when he grows up, he would answer, “I want to be like the guy at the tattoo parlour!” He got his first tattoo on his 9th birthday and it wrote “KEYS”. Sometimes he was a bit of a zoosadist, he would take bugs and pull of their antennas and wings just for the fun of it. His dad would have gone ballistic if he ever found out.
Last but not least was little Viv, short for Vivian. She was like her dad, usually quiet, a nature lover and loved bright coloured dresses. Her family nicknamed her “Miss Sunshine” as there was hardly a frown on her face. At just 7 years old, she was as matured as a 15 year old girl. Sometimes she would tell people how to live their life and not know what she was saying. Daryl just thinks she reads too much. All three of them were homeschooled, as Mr. and Mrs. Keys believed that it was their responsibility for their children’s education. Since they were poor, they could not afford to send grandma to an Old Folks Home, so she had to stay with them. Mr. Dibs, their dog, came to be in their household when he was hit by a car and they cared for him.
A normal day at the Keys’ house started of with Mr. Dibs barking his head off, waking the entire household like a rooster in the morning. Well it wasn’t early in the morning, more like early afternoon. Mr. Keys would be rushing down the stair, sometimes even roll down, trying to get his tie from playful Mr. Dibs. He was always late for work; it’s a wonder why he isn’t fired. Mrs. Keys would be frantically making breakfast and screaming for the kids to wake up. Falcon as usual would be taking his time to wake up, dragging his feet with his eyelids half closed and then dunking his head into the basin. Ignoring his mum’s screaming and Mr. Dibs barking, Daryl would continue sleeping, dreaming of drums and tattoos. Little Viv would be already awake since Mr. Dibs’ alarm call. She would go to the bathroom, freshen up and change into one of her bright coloured frocks.
After they were done with breakfast, Mrs. Keys would assign them school work to do, even though half the time it never gets done. During any break time, the kids would be running around the house or doing something really crazy. Sometimes they were quietly plotting an evil scheme or sometimes they would dress up like red Indians and make heaps of noise in the garden. When do they make the most noise you wonder? Band practice. Mrs. Keys would gather her kids, turn on the amps and they would have a jamming session. You could imagine the scene, Falcon on his electric, Daryl on the drums, Mrs. Keys on either the keyboard or another electric and little Viv on the vocals. You could see the house vibrate and music resonating out from the house. It was probably the highlight of the day, with the neighbours not approving of it too much.
By the time Mr. Keys came home, the house would be twice the mess as when he left. Mrs. Keys would be cooking dinner while the kids would do whatever they wanted. They would sometimes go to the playground and take Mr. Dibs for a walk or play in the fields with their friends. Yes, they did have friends. When it came dinner time, Mr. Keys would gather them, say a short prayer and they would eat as one big happy family. Jokes, laughter, exchange of news and definitely noise were brought to the dinner table. At nightfall, the kids would be in their room doing work or gathered around the family TV watching their favourite sitcom. By 10 o’clock Mrs. Keys would ask the kids to go to bed, but of course with a bit of fuss from them. When they were in bed finally, Mr. and Mrs. Keys would snuggle together and enjoy each others company.
It looked like everything was going fine. Though the family had quirks, they loved each other and had a strong family bond. But everything was about to change and it started with Mr. Keys becoming very ill.

Walking In Memphis-Marc Cohn
Thursday, February 19, 2009I love this song!A classic!
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
W C Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be...
Then I'm walking in Memphis,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis,
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union avenue,
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now, security they did not see him
They just hovered around his tomb.
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the jungle room
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis...
Now, Muriel plays piano every friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight."
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Valentines Days in my School
Friday, February 13, 2009This is the teacher and his wife being serenaded.
The next picture is one of the cupids singing to his girlfriend.After that they kissed for so long!with the whole school watching.lol
This is juz a random one.
lol.so yeah it's quite crazy sometimes in my school but I have to say it puts some excitment in it.Seeing this I'm sure most of you would know that PDA(public display of affection) is not uncommon.From 14 to 18 ,from kissing to holding hands, that's what you get over here in the Western world.sry that the pics are blur took it with my camera phone and had to zoom.
So anyways HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Cliques
Thursday, February 12, 2009I realize that it's harder to fit into a girls' group then a guys' group sometimes, even though i'm a girl. I think girls can be more judgemental than guys. They can be meaner like in the movie "Mean Girls" and those popular girl groups like the "Plastics"lol.I suppose that's how you get the word "bitch"(excuse my language). Guys are more flexible I guess, more accepting.
Girls normally have best friends and have a tighter clique than guys. Girls probably always want to have the same people for the rest of their lives and don't want people to butt into their group."So not cool."lol.They're like a team but i think closer than that. I guess that's where our weakness lies too.There such a strong trust that once it's broken, it takes ages to fix it or maybe even never.Boys are more lenient, probably get over fights faster or forget about it.Girls can be worse, some might act like "bitches" to the ones they don't like(even though the were best friends).
From experience I can understand.We grew up together, we formed this bond since young. You just don't want another stranger in your group. It makes things akward.But somtimes you have to move out of your comfort zones to make people feel accepted,especially we as Christians.It's not only hard for us but also for them.

Taken
Sunday, February 8, 2009So what did I do during my first weekend back here(it was also a 3 day weekend)?Well i mainly watched TV,play gin rummy(a card game),online and played my guitar.I also went out with my 2 of my Malaysian friends on Sunday to the movies which was practically deserted.We watched bride wars which was quite a boring show.I expected more from it,but what am I saying,it's a chick flick...
The Clarkes,the family in which carries the alien gene.
The movie starts of with these 3 families not conscious of one another but slowly these families' lives were intertwined.Sally Clarkes gives birth to a half alien son(Jacob) which has special power of the alien race.He could see into the future,he could levitate stuff and he could bring back memories of people.But he was weak physicaly.He got bullied in school and soon got sent to a special school.Along the way he gets kidnapped by Owen Crawford but instead Owen got a shock of his life after Jacob showed him one of his powers.This is when the Clarkes meet the Crawfords.His daughter(Lisa) didn't seem to have these traits,she was just a carrier.She had a daughter Ally but she didn't know who the father was.
Dakoto Fanning as Ally Keys(the little girl on the left)
Emily Burgl as Lisa Clarke(Ally's mum)
Adam Kaufman as Charlie Keys(Ally's dad)
Anton Yelchin as Jacob Clarke(Jacob as a young boy)
Desmond Herrington as Jesse Clarke(Father of Charlie Clarke)
Eric Close as John(the alien who falls in love with Sally Clarke)
So not too bad eh.haha.Way better than Bride Wars.I don't know if you can still can get this series but it's something worth watching.cya

Heavenly.
Then there's Vietnam's famous tea.Not sure why it's famous.lol.But they serve you the tea in a cup but with a strainer on top.I guess thats why it's special.haha.
On the last night I ate rice with dishes,you know like the normal chinese dinner.The dishes were goooooood.Very nice.Unfortunately i don't have any pics of it cause my camera ran out of battery.lol.
Anyway overall the food was awesome.I really liked it,that was my second favourite thing out of the whole trip.Riding the bike was my most favourite part.haha.I blog about the people n the place more next time yeah.cya!

First Day of School
Wednesday, February 4, 2009So yesterday was the 1st day of school.the excitement in me...not that i hate school or anything, it's just that i went to school at an age where everyone has their own clicks already.So during breaks you'll see this lonely asian girl walking the corridors of Long Bay College..lol..until i meet someone i know.
Anyway,first day,i started on a Tuedays but i thought it was a Monday(cos u know after the hols u get a lil mixed up),so i went to my Monday period one class and it was empty except for the teacher.I looked at her,she looked at me and then so she said "Don't worry you're not the 1st one."lol.the teachers are cool there.
So then I headed to my Tuesday 1st period class which was math but it was lower math which i shouldn't be in anymore cause i was shifted to higher math.i also got back the same teacher as i had last year,so when he saw me he was like "Chloe?".And i was like "Yeah i know I have to go see the dean to change my timetable."But he told me to sit in first anyway.I happily sat down(i wish i still had him as my math teacher not that the one i have are bad or anytin).
After the period ended,I headed straight down to the auditorium(all the deans were there) to change my timetable.I told the dean that I already was allowed last year to change class and I got all the required signatured.Unfortunately they must have lost it.ugh.So the dean ask me to get the signature of the Head of the Math Departments signature again.I went to his class and the were a bunch of teenagers around him for the same reason.He said "Come to me during 6th period,I'm free then".I was like "WHAT!" Thats the last period if u didn't know.Anyway what could I do so I went back to the auditorium and waited for the morning tea bell to ring.
Next was English,I got back the same teacher too which I don't mind.He smiled broadly when he saw me and then i managed to get back the same spot I sat last year.My teacher said to me "Old habits die hard aye."lol nice guy.He's quite a buff guy cause he coaches rugby.
Then I went down to the tech block for photography.And guess what, he wasn't there,he was sick.So we sat there the whole period waiting for lunch break.Fun....he was back today anyway,happy as ever..lol.fun guy.
Period 5 was Chemistry.I was hoping so badly to get the same teacher I had last year.She was a very good teacher strict but i like her sarcastic humour(guess reminds me of myself..lol).But instead I got a Scottish guy for my teacher.Not that he's bad or anything but i'm used to her teaching style and I like it.The first time he spoke I was like "What??" OMG it's going to be a long year.I could really understand him with his accent but i'm getting used to it.He also has sarcastic humor.I'm beginning to think all science teachers have it.lol.
But i guess i can't say that cause period 6 was Biology.And I think this the only teacher I prefer over my last year's one.And she's not sarcastic.lol.Anyway she's a very sweet teacher.Oh wait I didn't attend this class.haha.I went to see the Head of Department.but i know she's like that cause I joined the last few minutes of her class.Anyway I went to see him,and of course I wasn't the only one.Everyone had to sit down and wait for their turn.I was like the third in there but I only went up as the 6th or 7th person cause some people don't really care.They take advantage of asians sometimes.Back to point,I managed to get his signature went back to the dean n settled everything for the year.phew.
That was practically my first day.Boring but hectic.The teachers in Long Bay are cool.Some look really strict but once you get to know them.They fun and cool.I think the only students that don't like these teachers are those who don't study of pay attention and get on their nervous.oh well i'll end it here for now.happy reading this long one.lol
