2009-10-19T07:13:00.000+08:00

My school will be closed from today till 26 October since it is school's mid term holidays :) Since it is a holiday and nothing much to do, Mum brought me to the bookshop to get a few books.

I have bought a few books (see below) - have you read any of them? Do let me know whether you like them or not ok (if you have read them).

MIA?

2009-10-16T07:08:00.002+08:00

Sorry for not posting for such a long time. Reason is that I am very very busy with school assignments and even examination.

Just sat for ABRSM Theory Examination on 10/10 ... so you can guess how busy I was before that ... everyday need to do past year questions etc etc etc, anyway, since it was over, I am quite free BUT not that really free since my mini skating competition is coming up soon. The competition will be held on either 7 or 8 November - wish me luck :) Oh yeah, another thing is that I am busy playing yoville on facebook now - do try it out when you are free ok :) I am sure you will love it :)

Will try to update more .. SOOooooooN .. till then, take care :)

Cooking with Dad :)

2009-10-05T01:21:00.001+08:00

I love to cook ... I really do! But Mum always never let me in the kitchen .. so the only chance to cook is with Dad and it is only on Sunday :)

So on 27 September, we decided to try out the paste that Dad bought online .. all the way from USA ! Hahaha even it is a Thailand's product.

Let's have a look what paste it is ok?

The Pad Kra Paw that I cooked - do you know something - my arm is still aching why? Because I need to keep stirring - Dad said that I must keep stirring so that it wont get burnt.

But.. but .. it was worth doing since the pad kra paw is soo soo nice and I actually brought to school the next day as lunch :)

My new Miffy Crocs Sandal

2009-10-01T00:47:00.000+08:00

Come and see my new Crocs ... my first and only crocs .. why? First? Haha .. because Mum never like Crocs shoes - she finds it .. hmm ... too light? Hahaha .. anyway, at the end, she told me that I can buy a pair :)

Tadaaa ... my new Baby :)

Hmmm ... Breakin Free?

2009-09-09T00:21:00.000+08:00

Happy 09.09.09 .. everyone!

Sippah?

2009-08-28T04:48:00.001+08:00

Last week, when Mum and myself went to the supermarket to do our weekly groceries shopping, I saw something unique.

Do you know what is it? It is a straw that is filled with some flavoured beads! I bought those with Chocolate taste! The product is called Sipahh.

Why the name Sipahh? Hehehe ... as the tagline says ..“Insert into cold milk, Sip, and say Ahh!” .. maybe that's why the name is SIPAHH (Sip and then say AHH!) :) Sipahh straws come in six fun flavours (Strawberry, Chocolate, Caramel, Banana, Toffee Apple, Cookies and Cream and Choc Mint). It is very easy to drink using the straw. What I have to do is put the Chocolate straw into a cup of cold milk, drink from the straw and guess what, the drink is automatically turned into the chocolate flavoured Milk! It is so easy and interesting :)

Let's have a look at the photos taken :)

Cool, right?

My new books ...

2009-08-26T01:41:00.002+08:00

2009-08-20T00:37:00.000+08:00

YES! School starts today after such a long summer holidays! Well ... this summer was a very fruitful one - will talk more about the summer school when I am free, ok?

I will be in Year 5 today and I am so so excited! I am so happy to go back to school because I can meet up with my friends, get to know my class teacher, Mr Hasler and of course, make new friends!

This academic year will be a very challenging one for me because there are many activities that I wish to join (and hopefully I will be selected) and many things that I will learn!

Wish me god luck ok? Till then, bye and take care!

Me And My First SkateBoard

2009-08-17T02:09:00.000+08:00

I always wanted to buy a skateboard but Mum always said that I am not ready :)

Last week, I asked Mum again whether it is time for me to get out and surprisingly, she said ok :) Hahahaha .. I am so happy! We went to Toys R Us and look for the skateboard and I have decided to buy one!

Let's have a look at the photos ok?

Dad reminded me that I have to be careful with skateboarding as I might fall anytime ... :)

Ok .. that's all for now. I will take videos for you guys to see ONCE I master the skill of skateboarding ok?

Till then, byeeeeee

YES! I passed my Grade 2 ABRSM Flute Exam!!!

2009-08-13T05:17:00.000+08:00

Received my Grade 2 Flute Exam a week before I started my Summer School. I am so so happy when I received the result! I did not just passed the exam BUT passed with MERIT haha.

Even though I started flute lessons during 2008 Chinese New Year, I only took like 5-6 months to prepare for the exam and of course, I am very proud of myself especially I can pass the Grade 2 exam :)

Let's have a look what the examiner wrote about my exam pieces etc etc ... yeah .. I know that I have to improve in a lot of things and I will make sure I will improve :)

I hope that I will be able to sit for Grade 3 in March next year since it is the earliest examination date! I really hope that I can finish at least Grade 5 before I go to secondary school. Wish me good luck, ok?

Today, I went back to School to collect my School Yearbook. Supposed to collect it from the Office about a month ago, but each time I wanted to go, there is something that forbid me to do so.

Anyway, let's see how how the Yearbook looks like ok? Oh yeah.. the book costs about HK120! (And Mum said that it is so soo soo expensive!!)

That's all for now :) Byeee!

London Trip @ 22-29 January 2009 (Day 2-Part 7) Buckingham Palace

2009-07-29T04:23:00.000+08:00

23 January 2009

After we visited the Westminister Abbey and its surroundings, we took a cab to Buckingham Palace. That was not the first time I saw a palace because I have seen a few becoming visiting London.

Buckingham Palace is where place where the British Royalty stays. If you want to know about Buckingham Palace you may read from here.

Come, let me bring you to see the Palace!

After the Palace, we went to St James Park ... want to come along?

Here I come ...... Summer Musical School

2009-07-20T07:13:00.000+08:00

YAY! Today is the first day of my summer musical school.

I woke up very early today - too excited. Can't seem to sleep well actually :) Class will start at 10am and finishes at 5pm for everyday for the next 3 weeks! I am so so excited.

The cordinator emailed Mum yesterday and told all of us that we should get our script today (if I have one) and so by end of today I should know whether I have a line during the performance or not.

The School also requested us (in the Makeover Artist Group) to prepare three different attires (costumes) for the 6 performances that we going to perform on 7, 8 and 9 August respectively. Mum is trying to get all the attires ready so that I can bring them to School on 24/7 for the Costume Designer to view and if ok, I will wear them during performances :)

Oklar, will update more when I come back later in the evening, ok?

Oh yes, another BIG NEWS! I passed my ABRSM Flute Exam - I have cleared Grade 2 and will sit for Grade 3 next year. I am so so happy :) OK .. next exam will be Grade 2 Theory Exam which will be taken in October this year! Wish me good luck !!!

I have my ears pierced!!!!

2009-07-13T07:49:00.004+08:00

12 July 2009

Meaningful event for me to record down. I always wanted my ears to be pierced so that I can wear nice earrings :) but the piercing part is the scariest!!

After delaying for so many months, today I have decided that I should do it! We went to Isabelle @ Langham Place to do it.

Reached there about 1pm - Mum discussed with the sales assistant which earring is suitable for me. The lady told me that since I have THICK ear lobe there are only a few choices to choose. Can anyone tell me what thick ear lobe means? Mum said that it is stubborn. She thinks that people with thick ear lobe are stubborn!! Hahahha .. do you think so?

I have chosen a 14K white gold earring - I do like it very much! :)

Come, let's have a look at a few photos taken. The Lady is kind enough to let Mum took photos of me because according to her - customers cannot :( Anyway, let's have a look :)

Tadaa .. me and my new earring :)

My Barbie :)

Shatin Che Kung Temple, Hong Kong

2009-06-24T08:39:00.000+08:00

Mum asked me what do I want to do on my birthday ie on 22 May. I told her that I wanted to visit a temple. Then she suggested Chi Kung Temple since it is on the way to where we wanted to go on that day. You may read about Chi Kung Temple here :)

Let me show you a few photos taken :)

Nice right? Actually, I did ask Mum to take the photo of General Che in the temple but Mum said NO. She worried that the authorities won't like it .. hehehe .. maybe next time, I will sneak in and take one. The Statue of General Che is so huge and it actually reached the roof of the temple!

Today was the first day we arrived in London. One of the places that I really want to go is to go to the London Eye. I have not been to any Eye before hehehe.. except the Malaysia's one. Therefore, going to London Eye was a great deal for me!!!

I won't be writing lots of things but there will be alot of photos taken by Mum. The photos were taken from Bayswater till we reached London Eye. Once again, I would like to warn you that there are a lot of photos to view :) Hope you will like those photos :)

Nice words from my ex- music teacher ..

2009-06-15T00:43:00.001+08:00

My Year 4 music teacher has decided to move to Manila but before he left, he leaves something memorable for me.

This is what he wrote " ..... I have enjoyed teaching Misha, she has been a very enthusiastic and attentive student over the past two years, getting the most out of every musical experience I put in her path. I know she enjoys the performing arts and I am sure you will encourage and nurture her enthusiasm .........".

Thank you Mr Leggatt for all the things that you have taught me for last 2 years!

HSM2 @ Summer Musical School Programme @ HKAPA, HK

2009-06-12T00:05:00.001+08:00

warning : this is a very long post - maybe boring to some of you :)

After watching the High School Musical 1 at Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts (HKAPA) last year, I told Mum that I would love to be a part of that team. I keep reminding Mum to enrol me with HKAPA once their Summer Musical School (SMS)'s application starts.

This year, SMS will stage High School Musical 2 and I am so looking forward to it :) Once the application is open, Mum asked me again whether I am interested. Of course, I am interested since I have waited for a year for that!! Mum printed the application for me and asked me to fill the form myself :) I filled up all the required particulars and Mum has to do two things ie (1) Issue a cheque of HK3700 as my fees and (2) to pay HK80 as processing fees. Mum said that HK80 will be used once HKAPA called me for audition but HK3700 will only be banked in if I am able to go through all the auditions requested by them.

I asked Dad to send the application form for me. I waited patiently for them to call me for audition. There will be two or three auditions for me to attend before I am able to join the SMS programme :(

Mum received an email a week before 23 May requesting me to go for 1st audition. And do you know something, there are about 500-600 people going for the 1st audition. This audition is open for kids from 9-21 years old and I am sure that you can guess - I will be in the YOUNGEST age !!!! I am quite worry about on how to "compete" with those older kids - anyway, like Mum said ... just try my best and she is sure that I will be ok :)

23 May 2009

The BIG day finally arrived. The audition was divided into 8 groups and each group will have about 60-70 participants. I am in the 2nd group! :)

What do I need to do for the 1st audition?

Group 2 is divided into 6 groups - 10 partipants in each group. We have to dance (as a group), then sing (as a group) and the last one is the one that I love most - sing individually :) I think I did sing very well.

this is ME - taken before 1st audition :) the one and only photo taken ... :)

When results to be made known?

The audition ended at about 1pm but we were told that by 9pm, HKAPA will email us and let us know the results. So, I think you can imagine, how restless I am from the time the audition ended till about 9pm. .. I really really hope that I can get through audition 1.

At about 930pm, the email came in and I GOT THROUGH!!! I am so proud! After the first round elimination, there will be about 160 participants to be divided into 3 groups! This will be tough and the 2nd audition will be held on 24 May - ie the next morning :( I am so excited yet so worry as I really wanted to join SMS very much :)

24 May 2009

Will be another long day. Reached HKAPA at about 11am. I need to go to Dance room to register then they will take my measurements etc etc. Still a bit scare but not as bad as yesterday at least now I know what they are expected of me. Was told that 20 of us will be informed on the spot whether we are able to go to Audition 3. Audition 3 is basically cater for main casts of HSM2 and Mum did say that they will not choose me because I am too young and I do not have any experience at all.

During the 2nd audition, all of us need to sing and dance together. It was so fun. At the end of the audition, the judges (there are about 6 of them) asked us to sit on the floor and told us that if our number is called then we are invited to go to 3rd audition otherwise we have to wait till 1/6 to see whether we pass 2nd audition or not. I am VERY dissapointed because my number is not called, like Mum said most of the partipants that are called are much older than me. Anyway, at that moment, I am quite happy that at least I am in 2nd audition. Not bad, right? But but .. I still want to go to 3rd audition.

When I came out from the dance room, Mum noticed that I am not happy. Mum said that it is ok .. do not need to worry and I should be happy at least, HKAPA asked me to come back for 2nd audition :) Well ... still unhappy :)

What I have to do now is to go back home and wait for the results. ... well, this is not as bad as 1st audition hahahaha :)

26 May 2009 @ 740pm

Mum asked me to come over and read something on her notebook. During that time, I am watching telly. I went over and saw .... something familiar. It is an email from HKAPA. I read through the email and then clicked on the attachment and I saw my name there!!!! I am so happy till there were tears ! I am so happy because I got through 2nd audition and I will be joining the others for High School Musical 2. I did not get any good role but was put under a group called "Makeover Artist" There are 19 students in the group and all of them are seniors except four of us. .... but but ... I think I am the youngest !! I felt so proud that I got through all the auditions!!!

NOW, I can't wait wait for the day to arrive. Mum told me to get ready as this program is quite tough. We have to attend classes for 3 weeks (Monday to Saturday) from 10am to 5pm everyday. Not easy but I really looking forward to it!

Even though, HKAPA offered me a very small part, I am still looking forward to it as it is really a stepping stone for me. I am sure that with the experiences and knowledge that I will gain later, I will definately get better roles! Wish me luck ok? Oh yeah, if you are interested to read more about this SMS, do visit here ok? (hehehe .. you can also see my name there .. muahahaha)
