My Weekend. 8/11/2021

Hey guys! 

What did you this weekend?

On Saturday, I went to Russian School. 

It was kind of boring though. I was just sitting there for  an hour and a half doing nothing.

After that, mum, dad, Vera and I, all went to north link and bought sushi for lunch. 
I had teriyaki chicken on rice. It was delicious! 

After that, my family and I drove home. I helped clean the house. While cleaning, I listened to my favorite tunes on Spotify. :)

When I finished cleaning, I went on my laptop for a bit. That was pretty much my Saturday. 

On Sunday, my family and I all went to do some errands in the morning. After that, we all got takeaways for lunch! Because, why not? We had some Malaysian food, and it was so good! 

I ate everything in like, two bites. 

After lunch, I red my book for a bit. I was on a really interesting part! And then, I went on my laptop and called with my friends on Discord. 

That was my weekend! 

 

Lecture room 1898

 Lecture Room 1898

Walking into the room, 

My books in my hand, 

I glance at my desk. 

It’s the last row. 

Right at the back. 

All the students are men, 

taller than me, the only female. 

I take out my book, and open it, prepare 

for the long lecture on science. 

The lecturer enters the room. 

His grumpy face dulls the mood. 

He slams a piece of chalk at the chalkboard, begins

to speak. His voice echoes.

Everyone takes notes. 

I drip my pen into the inkwell, 

I see the pen drown in a sea of ink. 

A single drop of ink cascaded through the air and it seeped through the pages. 

I stare at it. 

The lecturer's loud voice hurts my ears. 

I look out the window, and my mind drifts into thought. 

What would it be like in the future?...

Would there be women's rights? 

Would schools be different? 

Would we all still...exist? 

Curiosity fills me.

I don’t want to be here anymore.

I want to explore the world. 

I want to know more.

A little something.. :D

 

Hey guys! 

This is just something random that I have created. I thought that I'd share it with you all. :)

I am deeply sorry for not posting a lot anymore. 

Well, I do hope you like this blog post everyone!
Have a great day, and stay safe!

30/8/2021 Story about lockdown.

Everyone sits in the room anxiously, waiting for the prime ministers arrival.

I have my mask over my face, and my notepad in my hand.

I reach into my pocket and grab out a small bottle with hand sanitizer. 

I open the bottle and squeeze out some sanitizer into my hands, and rub it in.

I noticed that the door opened. The prime minister walked in.

Journalists scurried over to her, asking questions. 

"Ma'am, do you know how long this virus will be around for?"

"What can you tell us about the vaccine?"

"Is the virus really that deadly?"

The quickly walked up to the stage, escaping the questions. 

She stood behind the microphone, and began her speech. 

"Ki ora Kotou. I am standing here today, to tell you more about the virus."

The camera zoomed in on her face.

"I'd like to thank all the health workers who are helping us all throughout this hard journey.

I know these are hard times..working from home, online school, getting food, but we're all in this together!"

I wrote down all she said on my notepad. 

"We can get through this, New Zealand. I know we can."

The Secret Garden.

Two little children, who were brother and sister cautiously stepped over the fence. 

They found the garden behind their house. They moved in a couple of weeks ago. 

The house looked old, and haunted...

They were beginning to regret venturing into the dark garden..

The tress looked old and crusty, the sun was hidden behind the clouds, and crows cackling.

"Jim, I'm scared- Let's just go home!" The girl said to her brother, her lips quivering.

"It's alright, Leslie. It's just a garden! It's not like anything is going to jump out at us." Her brother assured her.

Leslie took a deep breath and held Jim's hand.

The walked deeper into the garden..

"Jim! Look!..." Leslie pointed to a blood red rose.

"Oh?" Jim looked a bit confused. "It looks so dark-" He touched it. 

"Jim- Your hand-" Leslie's eyed widened with horror.. 

"IT'S A BLOOD RED ROSE- BECAUSE IT'S COVERED IN BLOOD!"

Jim wiped his hands against his jeans.

"Leslie- Yeah.. Let's go home. I don't think it's safe here.."

"Leslie?"

"LESLIE!" 

 

"Your sister is gone." Said a dark, unknown voice. It sounded like a low pitched scream.

"Where is my sister!?" Jim screamed, charging at nothing.

He hit a tree and stumbled to the ground. "Oww.."

Leslie fell out of nowhere. She was unconscious. 

Jim picked her up carefully..

The unknown voice boomed. "YOU WILL LEAVE THIS GARDEN AT ONE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S GRAVEYARD! SHE WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED 100 YEARS AGO..

You don't want to end up like her."

"Yes sir-" Jim ran as fast as his legs could take him. He heard a scary laugh behind him..

"SWEET NIGHTMARES, MY CHILDREN!!"

"Jim-" Leslie looked up at her brother.

"It's okay, Leslie-" Jim said.

Look!

The Accident. 16/8/2021

I was driving down the small neighborhood. 

My radio was blasting the latest Ariana Grande tunes. I started to sing along. My pocket started to vibrate- 

I reached inside and pulled out my phone. It was a text from mother. "Please pick up some groceries from the store. We ran out of cauliflower and carrots". 

I rolled my eyes and sped up. I whipped out my phone and replied to mum's text. "I'm arriving at the supermarket right now. I'll be home soon."

Without looking at what I was doing, or where I was going- I went into Instagram and looked at my best friends posts.

I turned on my indicator to turn right-

Then- I heard a loud scream- And then I heard  a series of crunching..

"Did someone drop their chips?" I asked myself.

I cautiously stepped out of the car. 

"OH MY-"

I saw a lifeless body.

The skull was crushed,

The limbs looked like crushed spaghetti,

And blood was splatted everywhere. 

I ran to my vehicle, climbed in, and  sped away, leaving the body behind.

The Ariana Grande songs just kept playing. It's like they were haunting me..

4/8/2021 Writing Work, Hitting The Target Story

 “I can do this. I am the best.” Ryan looked around. He was standing in the biggest archery competition of the year. The stadium was surrounded by flashing lights, and a screaming crowd of fans from all around the world.

“I can win this.” Ryan  took a deep breath. Both his arms and legs were shaking. 

Ryan remembered how he used to tell young people,

“If you want to be like me, you have to practice, practice and practice! It isn’t that hard. You just have to believe in yourself.”

Ryan began to pull the arrow back. His body felt like it would just give up and die. His heart was pounding like a bass drum.

The crowd was on the edge of their seats watching Ryan's every move.

He closed his eyes, and shot out the arrow. The crowd let out a gasp. He heard the arrow hit something, he slowly opened his eyes to see that the arrow hit the bullseye right in the center.

“Congratulations!” A small and fat little man walked up to Ryan. “You have won the 2021 archery competition! Well..you have never lost one..but that’s not the point! Here”,  he handed him a check for $10,000 dollars.

“Thank you” Ryan replied politely.

The crowd was cheering excitedly, and one person even threw flowers. Ryan walked off the arena feeling exhausted, but he was proud of himself for winning. “Gee, I didn’t even think-” 

But then his thoughts were interrupted. A man walked up to him, and exclaimed “Wow, you are amazing! How did you ever manage to make that shot!? I mean, it’s unbelievable!”

“Well, I guess it’s my years of practice paying off.” Ryan replied and smiled. 

The man smiled back. “But- I know someone who is better than you,”

Ryan’s eyes widened. “What!? No way! That can’t be!”

“You just have to follow me. You can meet them, “said the man. 

“But, what if you’ll try to kidnap me or something?” Ryan eyed the mysterious man suspiciously.

“You just have to trust me. My name’s John.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ryan.” He replied to John, and they both walked out of the stadium. They hopped into John’s black jeep, and drove out of town. After twenty minutes, they arrived at a huge mansion, and Ryan thought he saw a pool.

“Uh, John..are you sure this is the place?” Ryan asked.

“There is nothing to worry about. It will be fine!” John assured him as he rang the doorbell. 

A second had not passed, and the door opened. 

“Greetings dear friends! What brings you here?” A man answered. He was wearing a black leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a ushanka. He had a thick Russian accent, and seemed really friendly.

“Well, we heard you’re very good at archery-” Ryan began speaking, but he was quickly interrupted. 

“Ah, yes. Archery. Oh, I am so rude! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Vladimir Postacovich. Born in Russia, moved to America. I have a weapon collection, and  I have a rug made out of bear skin. May I get you anything, gentleman? A glass of Vodka, champagne?”

“We are good, thank you.” Ryan spoke up before John could accept the offer. “ This is John, and I am Ryan.” 

“Nice to meet you, my friends!” Vladimir said joyfully.

“Well, archery?” Ryan asked impatiently

“Oh, yes! Archery. Follow me, gentlemen.” 

The three men walked out into Vladimir's backyard. There was a tall fence that had arrows stuck into the exact middle of the bullseye. 

“Wow, he is good...Better than me..” Ryan thought, and he was a bit disappointed. 

“How do you do such precise shots?” Ryan asked, amazed.

“Well..” Vladimir began uncomfortably..

“Let’s just say, I shoot the arrow, and paint around it.”

“Back it up, back it up!” John was wide eyed. “ You are saying that you shoot the arrow, and paint around it?” 

Vladimir smiled mysteriously. 

“Yes.”

Ryan started to laugh.

“Wow- I-” John was so shocked he couldn’t speak.

“Well, yes. I know you weren’t expecting that- But sometimes you just gotta do what it takes to be a respected person.” Vladimir said.

“No,” Said Ryan. “You must work hard to be successful.”

They were all silent for a moment.

“Vladimir- May I see the bear rug?” John asked

“Sure thing! Follow me gentlemen. Vladimir lead them inside his house.

I walk along the beach, thinking about all the poor creatures that are suffering, in all the pollution.

I walk along the beach wishing, I could help.

I walk along the beach hearing the sound of the roaring waves, and the faint echoing of the whales.

I walk along the beach seeing dead scaly fish wash up on the shore.

I walk along the beach, hearing seagulls squawk.

I walk along the beach, seeing memories die.

The Dog.

Привет!

This week for Writing we had to do a story about a dog dying. Our Writing class watched a sad scene from a movie called ''Marley and me". We had to re-write the story in our own words. And some people cried while watching the sad scene.. including me.

We were also looking at the effects of short sentences.

Here is my story! (Laura Langton Also Helped With This Story, she get's half of the credit.)

I walked slowly to the door. I hesitated. My hands were shaking and tears were filling up in my eyes. I swallowed the huge lump in my throat. I could feel my cheeks turning red. I slowly turned the doorknob. A rush of hospital smell hit me in the face like a dodge ball hitting my chest. A doctor passed me and they said ‘’You look a bit pale ma'am, are you alright?,’’

I burst into tears and I looked down. “It’s alright, ma'am. Your name?.’’ I told her my name and she walked over to her desk and started typing on her computer. Then she stood up and said, “Right this way, please.” I hesitantly followed the doctor. I felt my body tense up as I thought about seeing my sick dog dying. I enter the room, my heart drops into my shoes. I ran over to my dog. I felt like a ghost staring at my own dead body. “I’ll give you a minute’’ The Doctor said as she exited the room.

The dog whimpered weakly. I stared into the dog's eyes. Memories came flooding into my brain. I remembered how we played fetch, played in the park,took walks in the forest.I just wish we could play 

I could see the pain in his eyes, I wish he wasn’t sick-

The dog looked at me with sad eyes. I remembered how I always used to yell at Marley. He just wanted to play, but I always used to kick him out, and yell; “GO AWAY! CAN’T YOU SEE I’M BUSY!?’’

I started to cry again, I was sure that the whole hospital could hear me. I regretted life choices, really badly.

The dog lifted it’s paw and put it on my shoulder. Then..

The dog's body grew cold. I tried not to cry but it was too hard. Then I started to scream and the Doctor entered the room. 

‘’YOU ALREADY INJECTED HIM WITHOUT TELLING ME!?”

The Doctor walked away. And I was left alone.

What do you think could happen next?

Did this story make you upset?

Thank you for reading this!

What I did in the weekend! 17/5/2021

Yesterday, I went ice skating at Alpine ice with my friend!

In the car ride to Alpine ice, I was really nervous.

It was only my second time skating. When my mum parked, my friend and I ran up to each other and gave each other a big bear hug. As we entered the building, I started to regret my decisions   I was really scared- My hands were shaking, And I just wanted to run away screaming. My friend (Who is a professional skater) grabbed me by the hand and took me to put on my ice skates. I shook my head, and she assured me that I will be okay. I slid into the ice skates and walked onto the ice. I tried my best not to fall over and my friend taught me how to stand, and how to do a cross over. I successfully learned how to skate in just two hours! I was very proud of myself. My friend and I were skating in circles hand in hand, and just giggling and talking about life. I really enjoyed it.

Everyone played a game called ''Spin the bottle'' Basically what it is, is everyone stands in a circle, and a bottle gets spun. Whoever the bottle lands on, wins a prize! Sadly, I didn't win anything. But I didn't really care. My friend and I bought some hot chips and we were so hungry, that after a couple of seconds, the chips were gone.

Near the end of the session, something traumatic happened!- A girl broke her leg while skating. A huge crowd surrounded her. She looked in pain, but she wasn't crying, and I think that was because she was is shock. A wheelchair was rolled onto the ice, and the girl was taken away. I felt really sorry for her. :(

My mum made a video of me and my friend skating, but I sadly cannot put in onto my blog.

Overall, I really enjoyed ice skating, and I really want to go ice skating again! :)

Dark Creative Piece Of Writing (Words of the DP)

 Hey Guys! Today for writing we had to write a short descriptive story of us skydiving. We weren't allowed to use the words ''Skydive'' And ''Skydiving''

 Here's my work! I do hope you like it. :)

I waited anxiously to jump down. I looked out of the window and saw that the ground was tiny! a sensation of butterflies filled my stomach. It felt like they were having a disco in there! 

The pilot signaled that it was okay to jump down. The door opens slowly  and I grab the edge of a seat and hold on for dear life. ''Anytime now..'' The pilot yells from the cockpit. I look down. My legs feel like spaghetti and my whole body is shaking. I took a running leap and jumped out of the plane. I started to scream! I tried to take out my dismantled parachute but it didn't work.. I knew that this was the end. I saluted as I waited for my doom.

How to write a letter!

This is just a little explaining on how to write a letter properly.I was assigned this for reading.

I hope this was useful and I hope you enjoy! This is my letter.

This is also a letter to KORE. You can use this as another example.

                                                                                                          15.4.2021

Dear KORE,

 I really enjoyed sailing. 

All the instructors taught me many valuable things that I can use in life. 

For example: By fighting your fears, you can accomplish many  things and make yourself proud.

At first I was really scared. and I thought that I couldn’t sail. I thought that the water was too cold.. That I may fall into the water.. That I wouldn’t succeed. 

But all the instructors made me feel safe. And eventually I overcame my fear and got into the water. I accomplished my goal. And I sailed! I was very proud of myself. 

Thank you for teaching me, and all of the Belfast senior syndicate how to sail.

                                                                          Sincerely, Sofiya.

The Wayfinder Small Paragraph Writing

 This term for writing we have been working on a story called the Wayfinder! We were all assigned to write a paragraph (Or two) About how we would feel on the boat. So, here's my piece of writing!

I tasted the salt water that splashed into my mouth. the air was cold, and the waves were getting bigger every minute. The sky was a dark gloomy color. I looked around the boat, and and thought about the people that we lost along our journey. They starved to death. I shook with fear, thinking what could happen to me. I thought about a big, delicious, appetizing coconut, and my stomach started to sound like a train speeding down the track. My head started to spin, and I had a feeling that I was going to gag. Some people were sitting dead with emotion, and I wondered as I looked at the Wayfinder. ''When will we arrive..?'' Many people were dropping dead like flies, and It was hard to watch. You could hear crying children that needed food, and entertainment. I tried not to think about food..I hugged my legs and buried my head in my knees. I felt like my soul was slowly fading away...

The Wayfinder

 Hello Humans! :D
So, At writing we are working on a story called ''The Wayfinder".

The story is about a tribe finding a new land to live on, because their island was getting too small.

The main character in the story is ''Manu'' He is the Wayfinders little brother. When a storm accrued, Manu's brother was hit in the head with a loose paddle, and the Wayfinder died. That meant, Manu was the new wayfinder. He knew how to Wayfind, because his brother showed  him how. Manu was scared, because he was responsible for a lot of lives, but then he found courage, and found a new land.

We had to swap our books with a friend, and they drew Manu they way you described him. 

This is my friends drawing here:  (By the way, those are not antennas,They're eyebrows. 

So, I described Manu.

He is:

-15 Years old

- He has big blue eyes

-skinny

 -short

 -short brown hair

 -kind

 -feeling scared

 -full of fear

 -dark skin

 -and he has a faded scar.
