life of pre-ib

*sigh* school just isn't the same anymore. I missed the days where there was still Synergy and we would all have fun chilling with school not even being super stressful except for some weeks where we would get projects and such but it was a pretty good life. Synergy seemed like a family. If you were stressing out, you would stress out together. Now in Pre-IB. I don't know. Just not the same. It doesn't even seem like a family anymore. No more 4 Synergy classes where we would get the same 30 people. Now it's just normal high school. Looking back, Grade 8 and 9 are probably gonna be the happiest years of high school. Nothing ahead but Pre-IB and IB. Then again, I guess it's different for everyone. Some people like big crowds and meeting new people but some people like me, just like small groups.

Speaking of big crowds, today we had a Pre-IB celebration where all the Pre-IB students would play some games and get formally introduced to Pre-IB. It was okay but I'd take Synergy any day. 

Summerrrr

well that was it for summer. It ended pretty dang quick but that's just like every other summer i guess. Let's see. What did I do this summer? Hmmm. Well i went to Hong Kong just like every year, then to Singapore, and went to the Universal Studios in Singapore which was SUPERRR fun. I returned back to Hong Kong and went wakeboarding. That was what I was looking forward to all summer. It ended up pretty well. I improved alot and was able to do some really cool turns and even ended up learning how to do a 180 backside turn. You would have to turn to the back having your back face the boat dragging you backwards then finish the turn you were doing. Next summer, I'm planning to enter a competition. Now other than wakeboarding in Hong Kong, this summer, I even learnt how to cook which was pretty dang fun. Throughout the summer I've made like 7-8 dishes of my own. During the last day of my stay in Hong Kong, I made a meal for the whole family. I made Caesar Salad, Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Lamb Rack, and finished the meal with appetizing brownies for dessert. *sigh*. I miss summer already. Now I'm back in Vancouver with school already starting. This year is probably gonna be alot different from Grade 8 or 9. Now that I'm in Pre-IB and all. I won't even get 4 classes with my Synergies. I guess we just gonna wait till tomorrow to see whose in my class and all that. Goodbye Grade 9 and helllooooooo there Grade 10. 

Arguments

Arguments. Why do people argue? Is it for the better or for the worse? Does it mean that someone cares about you so that they argue or does it count as conflict? Sometimes, you could be arguing about the dumbest things. People argue about something they don't agree on whether it's about knowledge or just simple things they talk about. Behind every single argument is someone's ignorance. It's really up to you to solve an argument or just leave things the way they are. Sometimes, you can't expect things to be done for you and you have to take action yourself. Everyone has arguments and you can't expect everything to go perfectly as you wish. After an argument, just remember that what's done is done. It's a thing of the past. Think of it as a lesson. Everything you go through is suppose to prepare you for life. In every moment of your life, you need to think of the best possible thing you could do in that moment, in the present. Prepare for the future and forget about the past.

Father's Day

soo today, for Fathers Day, me and my parents decided to go to Premium Outlet at the US to go shopping. I ended up buying some new clothes and 2 pairs of jeans while my mom got a new purse from Coach and my dad got a new jacket. It was a pretty successful shopping day. I ended up getting a pair of Vans shoes too. We also got some groceries at Costco on the way and when we got back to Vancouver we tried to eat out but all the restaurants were filled with people. We ended just going back home and making our special dinner. pretty good father's day. =)

Moment Gone Wrong

Moments in our lives are simple. Some of them go wrong and some of them turn out great. They also have the expectancy to change from good to great or from good to bad. When it does the transition from good to bad, you wonder in your head, "How could things go so wrong." Then you realize that it was what you've said. You might not like the fact that you have bad moments but it's part of life. You just have to keep in mind that the next day will always be a new day to start over and have a new shot at life.

Last Blog of Synergy

the last blog of Synergy. Wow. From the first few days I've started blogging to today. So many things have changed and so much of my life has developed. I've met a lot of great friends and done a lot of great projects. I think I've gotten more mature then I was when I first started Synergy and I met a lot of great friends. I'm quite glad I got a chance to be in this program. With it being the last day of school, there were tears and laughs of joy. It was mostly tears on our last Synergy class. We made a circle and we went around just talking about our emotions. It just made me realize how much more I'm gonna miss Synergy. All the friends and people I've met through it. All the memories. It was fun dancing for Buskerfest and now everytime I hear the song, "Celebration", I'll always think back to my first year of high school. Sometimes, it's not the song that makes you emotional, it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it. I've had a lot of fun performing and practicing for it. Also, I'll always cherish the photographs we've taken as a family together in Synergy. You look at a photograph and you wish you could re-live that moment over and over again. I wish I could go back to the day I first came into Synergy. Anyways, I really don't know what to say to perfectly end this last blog. I hope someday we'll all be together somehow again. All of us together. Wherever we may be. Thanks everyone for making my first two years at high school fun. Thanks to Mr. Olson for reading my blog for 2 years. Hopefully I'll still continue blogging. This whole experience has been fun. The ride is now officially over. It was fun while it lasted but all good things have to come to an end right? We just gotta learn to move on. Synergy of 2010-2012. It was nice while it lasted but now, goodbye. "Goodbyes will always hurt, memories good or bad will bring tears and words can never replace feelings."
