Gonwana choir

Wohoo! It turns out we made it in to the Gondwana choir! Yes!

Sorry, I just found out that I got into a choir in Australia. We are even allowed back!

Some background info about the choir..

While I was still in Australia, me and my brother auditioned for a choir. This choir was renowned to be the best choir in Australia. My school recommended this choir to me for this reason. My brother heard about this choir, and since he is a good singer, he auditioned too. this audition required us to sing a song (or part of one), sing notes by reading off a piece of paper and listening of notes that the piano played and then repeating them. The sequences were rrreeeeaaallllyyy long so it was very difficult. You can compose music, sing with others and a few more options, though we both only did the singing part

Here is the link to two of their videos which I recommend to listen to for an idea about what they can do

My new life and how I deal with it

Moving from my old home into a completely different continent has punishments, so i am going to show you what to do to solve (some of) them.

1. You miss your friends. What do you do?

I miss my friends a lot at times, especially my best ones. What I do is Skype them a lot and always keep in touch. Make sure you tell them how you are feeling all the time so that they can help make you feel better.

2. You are homesick. What do you do??

Ok, say you really miss your home town but don't care a damn about some of your fellow 'friends'. This is very unusual, but sometimes I think that way about some of my friends so I might as well...

 I would look at all the photos I have and try to picture me there. If this doesn't work, talk to your friends about it and they might help you. Also, finding a friend who you can trust to update you on the things that are happening around there, so you feel more included.

 You might have always wanted to move to wherever, but you feel a pang of sadness leaving your friends. This is a more common case, and this is similar to what I felt so it will be easier to explain.

Always keep in contact with your friends so they can tell you what is going on. You can Skype them or use Viber, Hotmail, or many other apps where you can send them texts or video call them. You can also just call them.



You are really pressured in you new environment. What do you do?
After a few weeks, I had about 10 classes that took up all my time including my weekends. I didn't know what to do until i arranged a timetable to do all my stuff. I would start my homework the day I get it, and depending on my progress and how urgent other things are, continue. When I receive a large assignment,  i spend my time working on it evenly, while putting other homework tasks in between.

Note: NEVER start on the last day. I have tried it, and it did not go too well...


Also, I don't recommend working on it all day. Take some breaks and switch to different tasks to refresh your mind...

FUNNIEST MOVIE MOMENTS!

Behold the funniest movie moments you will ever see!(part one)

These movie clips are funny and very enjoyable. I will note the name of the movie in case you are interested. I will also do a brief review of the movie to try to convince you to watch it. Enjoy!


                                                                   THE STARVING GAMES



Notice that Kantmiss (that is what she is called: Kantmiss-can't miss? get it?) Is shooting a flaming kebab and that the Avengers are in the background? That just demonstrates the humor in this funny parody of the hunger games. Don't watch if below 12 (unless you are super mature) but I'm sure teens will have a good laugh. 

The basic plot is that these people have been near-starved every year and 2 people from each group of these people are forced to play until they are 18 to get attention. The main character volunteers and is put into the 'Starving games', where they compete for food for their sectors... and their lives. At the end of the games there can be only 1 winner...

I was freaked out about how people were injured so often, but a twist at the end made me change my mind, so don't get put off straight away!

The clip I chose is from a part when one of the main characters who didn't get into the games declared a riot just as an ad comes up for a delicious-looking burger(it isn't delicious-looking at all-it is the complete opposite. Since they are so hungry, that is just what they think) so they change their mind.Google 600 000 calorie triple-bypass burger if you want to see the clip. 

:)THE MINIONS! :)

Minion lovers! This is the perfect movie for you! This movie is from behind the scenes and is created to show the tale of the heroic minions and how they came to work for Gru. It also is a funny timeline of how the  word evolved because the minions ended every period. Google 'minions trailer' if you want to see it. There are many variations, but that doesn't really matter.

Les miserables

Les miserables is based in the french revolution. The story is about Jean Valjean (pronounced John Var John) and Javert (the police inspector) and their several encounters, one for putting Jean Valjean in prison and another when Jean Valjean had become a mayor of a town and Javert came to visit. It is a very sad but thrilling and i Recommend it to those over 11, for there is violence and a bi of rude things. I really wanted to recommend it so there is no really easy thing to pick out, but there are plenty along the way.
