jealous much, jessica?: Method Success!!! =D

Saturday night i put my piano reading method to use and succeeeded in learning Fur Elise with it ^-^... i'm so happy... though i obviously can't play up to the proper speed yet =.=... i can play smooth but slower than normal... and i still can't read the sheet as fast as other people that have had piano lessons since young age... but i'll keep at it and hopefully some day i can... i always wondered if piano players could look at the sheet and play it smoothly right out.. or are they like me and play extremely slow at first and thenn practice that one song for a while before it's smooth =S... yeah yesterday morning i practiced Fur Elise some more before derick arrived and it's getting faster and smoother ^-^ yayyyyyy

anyway yesterday was my first time driving without an adult... i went to go pick up pizza at edensor with andrea... lucky there was 3 empty consecutive parking spots.. because i don't know how to park yet and if there were 2 cars beside me i have a feeling i would have scratched the cars LOL.... after dinner i went to pick up daniel to go tiens for the horror films marathon... we watched Saw VI and The Uninvited followed by My Sister's Keeper... yehp all the movies were rather good ^-^... i had a fun night especially with the boys and their randomness =D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

today in the morning i helped my mum make cake and we shared a nice conversation... looks like car rides isn't the only place where we can strike up a nice conversation... i learnt quite a bit about our family history and relatives today =] it was nice... before long it was time to go pick up andrea and head off to get our vaccinations for going to china =].... so yayyy i got to practice driving again. and this time i parked in a parking spot inbetween 2 cars... but with my mum's help.. i still can't do it on my own =.=..... the needle cost 80+ BUX!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT =.=... i've never paid so much for a needle before... my mum was shocked... we were meant to buy another medicine that we orally take as well... but that medicine summed with the vaccine for 3 people added up to almost 400 bux and she did not have enough money so we just got the vaccine for now... =.= damn you travel bugs!!! i think the cost of the vaccine hurt way more than the needle... couldn't even feel the needle even though it was quite big.. i couldn't stop staring at it LOL!

anyway after i got my vaccine i drove to tien's to go IKEA along with daniel and darren =D... it was my first time setting foot to ikea so it was rather exciting ^-^.... when i got there i was shocked at how smalll it was!!! LOL kidding... ITS FREAKING HUGEEEEEEEEEE!!!! everything in there was so cool... and the shopping strategy in ikea was so different to any other shop i've been to... i mean it's the only store i've been to where there's little [yet big] rooms all decorated nicely as if you were in someone's house... then each seperate item you like would be noted down on a pamphlet and pencil which is provided for you in which you then go downstairs to collect the items you want... i really like the layout of ikea.. it really helps people visualise how they could use their items to spice up their rooms =D... also tried their 1 dollar hotdog which is completely worth it... it was yummy for someone who is starving [obviously there's yummier food but it's completely worth the 1 dollar].. all in all i ended up spending 58 bux at ikea =].... i'll post pictures up tomorow while i update the rest of my blog with pictures

AND here's what i bought ^-^;

i bought this thinking it was a cool photoframe because the pictures are embedded a few cm in the frame only to find out i can't take the backing off to change photos... i asked my dad if it was possible and he thinks it might be... just gotta remove the staples at the back but i'm scared removing the staples will just wreck it =.=

my soon to be new night light once i buy a light bulb and get my dad to drill it into my wall =]... [in hope that he does]

colourful new bowls for ice cream =]

clear bowl for when i start making fruit salad for the summer =D can't wait... gotta go stock up on plain vanilla ice creammm

after ikea we headed to daniels house to play with dinner's adorable puppies =D [pictures tomorow] and then we ended up eating the bbq that his family was having yum yum yum lucky boy... i wish my family chucked random bbq's with that spit roast stuff... we then played some card game which was similar to uno with daniel's daddy and called it a night around 12... now here i am updating my blog... and that puts the end to my day... WOOOOOOO 2 drama eps awaits me so off i gooooooo =D
