Fifth Grade Frenzy

On Friday the 24th of August, we went to Hooray for Hightower(my school's meet the teacher and sign forms day). I got the teacher I want, Ms.Reeve!!!!!! She is so nice and pretty! I first had seats with people I did not get along with but the teacher changed me on the second day. The first day was pretty good and the week went by fast!But now I'm a fifth grader and very mature....Mommy!:) Another exciting(but nervous) :(
piece of news is that I finally did sign up for outdoor school! It is 3 days and two nights...it is my first time sleeping over without my mom......im already homesick!

I am nervous about if i have to go to the bathroom while boating or something
and i went for an open house and there was a climbing wall and when you get to the top you have to turn over and climb down!

I also signed up for choir (without any auditions). In December we will have a tour day. We will go to Beaty early childhood preschool to perform,two nursing homes to perform again, and also do the same at Stonebrook Mall! We will eat at the food court there!Awesomme!!

Winner is my middle name

Yesterday we had a program in my mosque.It has competitions.There was recitation,memorization,speech,nazm(song).... I did everything except nazm.nazm (nuz-um) was too hard. It was Naunihala Ne Jamaat.The tune is REALLY difficult! Well I always get first for speech but this time there was a really good one .... I got 2nd for speech, 1st for memorization and recitation,and an overall (allstar) perfomance award given to VERY few people.The last one was for behavior, attendance, homework,etc. for the last whole year.My parents promised 2 gifts and were so proud...i am too!
PLEASE COMMENT! FRIENDS,FAMILY,ANYONE!

Everybody Par-tay!

On Saturday we had a get- together. It was for Malayalam people. There was Amul and a girl named Anju and Nand and a lot of other people. Their parents were there too. "We played stuff".We ordered pizza for the kids from Cici's. It was so FUN with a capital J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

My trip

On the day of our trip, we missed the flight. Only my mom, me, and my two brothers got the next flight....it was my mom's first flight without my dad. It was all of ours.
We were so worried. We arrived at the Las Vegas airport and sat down somewhere. By the grace of Allah my dad got the next flight.We waited in this big room for a long time with little Aiden screaming and running around and falling on the floor. My dad arrived there and we went to the hotel, Homewood Suites. Las Vegas is famous for Casinos and The Strip. Casinos in my family's point of view are bad (sometimes drinking) game places.Las Vegas is not much of a family place. In the strip there are casinos in every building. The strip is sort of a big many building long street with shopping and entertainment and stuff like that. There are giant models of the statue of liberty and the Eiffel tower and famous places like that. On Saturday it was almost my birthday. We went on a gondola boat ride and the rower lady sang songs and talked and even sang Happy birthday in french to me! We were resting in this big hall when suddenly my baby brother ran to a escalator. My dad ran (very weirdly,no offense) and a group of passerbys had caught Aiden in the nick of time. We were so worried...and we were down and the escalator was going down so Aiden could have died before you could say "pasta!"We went to a restaurant one of my best friends recommended called Elephant Bar and restaurant.It was great! It was my birthday in India so my parents surprised me with a sundae with a candle on it. They and the waiter sang happy birthday. You look at my parents!They sang like somebody died.And as for Ian he sang "Happy Birthday to mee!" to himself just to make me feel bad.But it was still awesome!Thanks MOM AND DAD! Happy Birthday to me!The next day we drove to Los Angeles and stopped at a mosque(my religion's prayer place) . We just went to see it because it is like the biggest and prettiest...it was still being built.I lost one shoe so I wore my extra sneakers. Then we drove to Homewood Suites (a different one of course) and rested for a while.It was my birthday!We went to a beach with good waves .We weren't prepared so my nice birthday skirt and shirt got ruined.But we had so much fun! The next day we went to Hollywood. First we went Hollywood bowl and since it was so hot i got a pretty hat .Then i went to Hollywood bowl museum. We also went to Ripley's Believe it or Not Odditorium. It was really cool! I have pictures here (i hope my dad doesn't forget!)
Then we got pictures with people dressed up as stars and Disney characters. All this time our rented car was parked at a one hour parking.It was after one hour! So we raced to our lot and on the way we saw a similar car. Luckily I memorized our license plate number and it wasn't ours.We got our car and drove to another beach with really high tides...my brother almost drowned!Then we ate at Bubba Gump and then drove back to our hotel.We checked out and drove to San Diego.It was so pretty! North , South East and West,where ever you look,beaches!First it was pretty.Then my dad couldn't bear to hear the word beach. So we drove to our hotel,Hyatt,and it was the best place EVER! We are going to use Hyatt now.The bedroom was so pretty and we had a perfect view of the sea and pools.The pools had two large awesome slides and one baby slide. We went swimming that day and rested , ate at Mama Mia and a Japanese restaurant. The next day we went on a nice ship tour to another place.There we rented a four people one baby bicycle and drove around.Then we took a ship back and ate at a seaside restaurant. On the way in there was a statue on a bench.My brother was about to touch him but he moved.It was a man painted silver! We went inside and ate and had a sundae.It was good food.Before on the way there my parents got mad at me.I don't want to talk about it. Well anyway when we came out we got out and took pictures with the San Diego Silverman(the name of the "statue").We laughed and watched every passerby.
He would stand still and when someone came across he would jump and point at them.He nearly sent an old women out of her skin! Did I mention we have to pay to get a picture with him and all the Disney characters and stars in Hollywood? Well he was awesome.Then we went back to the hotel,checked out and returned our rental car at the airport.We didn't mis the flight this time (thank god):) and we returned home safely.

Drama Queen on the go......

I forgot to tell you,but on Monday, July 6, 2009, something really really really really really really really really really exciting happened.(fur me anyway) Well I never told you but my school has a program for gifted and talented students called PACE. They have a summer camp from 7 to 12 in the morning called SIGS(Summer Institution for Gifted Students). I am in PACE and currently going to SIGS. Well I take the classes Science, Math, and DRAMA. In drama we had a play called to bee or not to bee.
We had auditions for the parts. Okay, here goes...
  1. Wanda is the main bee who wants to be a Honey Bee but her aunt says she got a B-minus on her test. So she tries out for Spelling Bee, Quilting bee,or Drones.At the end a tree tells her she is already a honey bee.(i tried out for her)
  2. Johnny Bee is a rock star helping Wanda
  3. Queen Bee(Aunt Bee) is the queen and Wanda's aunt.
  4. Webster is the Manager of Spelling Bees.It is supposed to be a HE, but the person is a girl.
  5. Spelling Bees are (look above) basically spellers.They spell every last word a person says.Get it,huh,spelling bees?
  6. Sonya is one manager of the Quilting Bees with her Sister Sophie.Sonya has a Texas accent
  7. Sophie is the sister of Sonya and has a strong deep accent. She sings a duet with Sonya.They are both managers of Quilting bees.
  8. Quilting bees are (look above)basically quilters.On stage they hold a quilt.
  9. Hector is the nector inspector.
  10. Roscoe is a rooster.His only lines are "Cock-a-doodle-doo" twice.
I put the characters from most important to least
Oh yeah,flowers have lines too!They are important too.Okay so continue:

11. Granny Smith(more important than Roscoe or Hector) is a wise tree who helps Wanda by telling her she already is a honey bee. She is an apple tree.

12. Flowers are:Bluebell,Daisy,Sunny Sunflower,Rose.....there are others with no lines or names.They are more important than Roscoe or Hector.

SO,now we're done.

The exciting news is that I got Wanda out of like, 60 people! And I dont do anything with drama at my school!.One girl in my school who does a drama program at school and made it to GLOBALS got Bluebell! I did a great job i think! Ask my dad on leavesdelife.blogspot.com

July 4th

On Saturday,July 4th,me and my dads friends family went to the Dallas world aquarium. It was awesome! I can't remember everything......
But I thought aquariums were for fish,right? I think you would too.But there were awesome birds and monkeys and sloths and we would have been able to see a jaguar but it was closed for cleaning or something. But right behind it we saw a Mayan dance
It was so cool! Mayans are a Native American tribe....they used strange instruments
......One guy put his foot in fire....the other put a bended leg right above the fire...
IT WAS SO AWESOME!
I have a picture of it by my post.
Then we went to a Sudeshi, which is a restaurant. The food was yummy.
Then we went to my dads friends familys house. We played for about 3 or 4 hours...then we went to the pool at their apartment. We were about to go for fireworks but we sort of missed it. On the way back home we saw them,though...
Oh,I forgot to tell you...July 4th is our exact 2 year anniversary in the U.S...yup,we reached here on July 4th,2007 at 3:30 in the evening!

So Happy July 4th to y'all!!!!

Purer than honey luck

On Tuesday,June 23rd, we had pure luck. You know those cereals that say there MIGHT be a cash card in this box? There NEVER is! Well we bought two boxes that said that. I was opening it and there was a conversation. It goes:
  • ME:There might be one!
  • IAN:There is no chance!
  • ME: Yes!
  • IAN:No!
  • ME:Yes!
  • ME:(I open it and there is one!)
  • IAN:Told you!
Well then there is another box and thus another conversation.

  • IAN:NOOOO CHANCE!!!
  • ME:Yes!
  • (and so on(yes,no,yes,no,yes,no))
  • IAN:(opens box and there is one!!!!)
    • Told you!
    Yes,this is all true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that pure luck or what!

SCARY!

You will never guess(or believe) what happened today. We were at Arrowhead Park(its a park close by) and a boy walked over to a big dog,and the dog jumped up and bit him! SOOOOO BADDDD!!!!! A chunk of his skin came out . it was bitten till the bone.The dogs owner was a man and a girl.(we later found out the man was her uncle) The girl was holding the leash and it slipped from her hand. THe man first scolded her then kicked and hit the dog.The dog was actually calm! Well they quickly found a cell phone from someone and they called 911 and the fire truck and ambulance all came. They even brought out a stretcher(they didn't need it ) !!!!!!!!!The girl was only about 5 and she was so scared and crying. My mom told me to take care of her. We (me and my brother) played a few games with her. Then she went to the bathroom in a house across the street. Her parents arrived later. Meanwhile,the boys friends around him wee making jokes! He was in like um...... 9th grade or high school,something like that. His brother is in 1st grade at my school. My brother knows him. He wasn't even scared!If it was my brother i would have fainted or something!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June Blues: Have YOU got them?

I left school on June 5th 2009. We had to leave Mrs.T!I got tears in my eyes.All my friends and a boy were sobbing. They were literally bawling! All the fifth graders were crying so hard (even the boys!)because they had to leave my school. June isn't a bad month,I know,I know,blah blah June is the first month of 
SUMMER!
But  sometimes someone gets the June Blues,and this rare disease(only comes once a year) is very contagious. So it spreads around and..... Walla! You may have it too! 
My dad's birthday is on June 19th,so I like June a lot. But I wish the June Blues would come in another month that there was still school so maybe if it spread around, school would be closed!Maybe September or something.

Well anyway,see ya later,alligators!!!!

Scary story

One day,it was a little girl's birthday.She went to the toy store.She found a clown with a big smile,holding 3 fingers up and bought it.On the first night,she heard it saying...I'm coming up the stairs while it had 3 fingers up..On the second night,it had 2 fingers up,and it said I'm coming in your room...On the third night, it had 1 finger and said..I'm climbing up your bed ...The next morning,she was dead. The parents were so sad .They were about to give it back when the doctor told them...that clown held three fingers up to show it had killed 3 children.Now he holds up 4.The finger changed in the night because it was giving her warnings.The parents carelessly threw it away. Now it is somewhere else in the world...waiting to KILL .

India

I am SO sorry I didn't tell you bout going to India.I don't remember much but I'll tell you what I know.We had like 3 weddings and they were all awesome .In one of them there were really fun girls to play with and when my family was going,I stayed.It was so fun.Also one day,I went to this house.I wanted to go to my grandma's house. When we finally went,my other cousin who was not supposed to come was there.It was so fun! As shown,we also went to this hill and it was really fun.We played in sand there.Also we went to a beach another time but it was not for playing purposes.Another main event was we went to Kozhikode and my 2nd generation cousins live there .It was super and one night, we went to a REAL beach and got so wet and muddy.My parents were not there but when they called,my cousins mother told my mom we looked awful.My mom didn't hear,so asked,"what?" and my cousins mother said "I said they look so clean" .HAHAHA!!! You don't get it,do you?Well on the way home (I think) we got ice cream.We stayed for 2 or 3 days,then left.Another thing was when my cousin Nowshi's mother was getting a baby,some other cousins were going to the hospital alone.I tried to call them to tell them i have to ask my mom if i can come,but they left.So me and my brother went without asking.We slipped out the back gate.It was pretty far away.The whole time we were thinking we should go back but we never did.When we got there,it was kinda scary.When I got home I felt guilty and told my mother .She was a bit mad but I also scared her.I felt bad.These are only a few points.Again,Sorry!!

TIGER FEST!!! 'n my OWN room

Today I went for the tiger fest in my school .I tried to dunk my teacher but failed!I came really close ,though . Then I went inside and got a fake cast. Then, I went and got ice cream.
It was delicious!Then, I played cake walk twice.THEN,I got my hair dyed,Then,I got a peace sign on my face.It was Purple 'n red. Then, I asked my friend , Shivani where the bounce house was.
I said "I thought there would be a bounce house.""There is,its in the gym," she replied.I told my mom and we ran there .It was humongous!!!It was so fun We went on both of them and then the tickets were done.We went home but on the way,I saw the pie your parents booth.It isn't actually pie,its shaving cream on a paper plate.I wanted to feel it,but my mom said no.But then i found some and showed her and she didn't care!It felt really sticky and soft!!!I had such a great day!!

My own room

A few days ago,I got my own room.The theme is going to be Ladybug.My brothers is underwater.At first I felt scared sleeping alone,but it was fine.My desk looked like my brothers bed in the dark!!
