Lots of things to write...

It was really very busy week.I didn't get time to update my blog.

Anyways,last saturday I went to Okanagan Hindu Temple at summerland for Diwali celebration and it it was awesome.I was feeling that I'm in India for 2 hours.All Indians around me,spicy tasty Indian food,Ladies in sarees and crakers.OMG...I really enjoyed a lot.Then on sunday,I did nothing and took rest.

Then from Monday asuseall school starts and I started getting busy.On Monday after school I went to my art class and did some art work.Then on Tuesday After school I have theater group in school.I took theaterd group in school when I choose my courses before school gets started.But the funny and honestly the e-responsible thing is that I didnt know that when my theater group class started.I asked to my friends in school in my 1st week in school that do you know when the theater group will start and they said that you can hear the announcement,because its hard hard to say that on which and when it will start,so I was waiting for the announcement;but whenever the announcement comes,it's always noise around me so I cant hear it clearly and then I forgot about my theater group.After 2 months I suddenly remeber that I have t change my courses of 2nd semister.So took out the page of the semister from my locker and I found that I OMG... I have theater group.I ran to the counseler office and i asked what should I do now?They told me to go to my theater teacher and ask her,because I was missing class from 2 months.I was so scared.But my teacher is so good and she said it happens,it's ok.You can still participate in the drama.We performing 'The Grinch' in December.I'm so excited.So now,I have theatre group after school on every tuesday and thursday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and from last week I joined clay art class and it's on every wednesday after school from 3 to 5 p.m.

On tuesday and wednesday I was with my 3rd host family,because my host mom went to vancouver for work.I had lots of fun with them.We did pumpkin carving on tuesday evening and on wednesday evening I came back to my house.On wednesday we made Thai dish in food class and I think it was good.I complete my my work which I was doing after school at my art class on wednesday.It's surprise gift my Rotary club here.I told them that I'll give a gift to Rotary club for Diwali but I need some time to make it because when I decided that I'll give this,it was the day before of Diwali.So it was impossible to make in 1 day.On thursady,I had theater group and we worked on 'The Grinch' ,that was fun.I really like it.OMG>>> on friday,I went to community centre here and I was volunteer there.3 Japanese girls from my school were also there.We worked at same booth there.There was lots of fun and it made me so tired too.We have to teach kids how to play the game which is at our booth.There were lots of kids,volunteer and around 28 booths.We had pizza in dinner there and all volunteer got a bag of candies.I was so happy.On friday,in school;every one dressed up and it was so colourful and funny everywhere.There was a costume competition in the common area of the school in break time.Some boys became girls and that was so fuuny.Coti and I took lots of pictures in school with all our school friends in their funny costumes.

On saturday,I went to Oliver to Marietta's(Rotary exchange student from France) home.Oliver is half an hour away from here and also from USA border.It's the samll town.I went there to celebrate Helloween,OMG>>> It was amazing.I became and Marietta became vampire an angel.We were just like a kid yesterday.In Halloween,kids to go to different houses,they knock the door and people give them candies.After knocking the door kids says:Trick or Treat.

That was really fun.Marietta & I were running on the road and her host sister and her friends were also there with us.I had an excellent Halloween.Marietta,her host sister and I;we all together watched scary movie called '30 days of night' at night...ha ha ha.It was really really scary.We also watched 'High school musical 3'.I love High School Musical movies.Then today,in the morning we watched movie called 'Forgotten'.Then my host mom came to pick me up at 2:30 in the afternoon and I'm back to home now.

On Tuesday there was Rotary meeting early in the morning.Winter makes me more lazy and it's getting cold day by day.So I hate to wake up early, in winter time atleast.
Asuseall I gave 2 min. of speech about my experience here in last week.I went to school.There was no school on Monday because of Thanks giving day.School was pretty good and also today it was good.
I made khimo(Egg Kari) again yesterday for my host family and afcourse for me.We all liked it.I made Dam Aloo(potato sabji) today and it was also good but honestly, not that much.Ha ha ha...

OMG>>> I made Indian food today because I really wanted to eat it.I made KHIMO...Here people can't remember the name so I told them it's egg kari.because it tastes like it and there is egg in that.I just ate it.It was awesome,very good and very very tasty(obviously,I used Indian spices in it).I was feeling like I'm sitting in India and eating it.Big thanks to Amita aunti(my neighbour in India who wrote recipie for me of KHIMA).My mom never eats egg so she doesn't know how to make it but I love her all food too.

Yesterday I went to Rotary meeting.Robert was impressed by me because I was on time when he came to pick me up.Every time he wait at least for 2 minutes but yesterday I was waiting for him.In Rotary,I gave a little speech about my week.I really like it now to give a speech.ha ha ha.

Had lots of fun yesterday...

I woke up at 9 in the morning yesterday and did some art work.Then I went to the mall of Penticton around 11:30.As Corinna and I (Rotary exchange students from Jermany) had decided that we will meet at mall at 12 in the afternoon we met, and we both were so happy.Corinna is staying in Ossoyus which is around 45 minutes away from Penticton and 5 min. from USA boarder.It is very small town,so she came here to do some shopping and stay over night at my home.Cotti was also suppose to come at the the mall but her host dad was coming to Penticton at 2 in the afternoon.So she met us at 2 at the mall.Then my host mom came to pick up us from the mall.After come back to home Corrina and I showed Cotti that what we bought.She was very jealous.ha ha ha...

We thought that Cotti will also stay over night but she didn't.We were feeling so bad for her.Cotti's host mom has some rules for her home,so she can't.But when she was with us in the afternoon,we had lots of fun.There is a Trampoline outside of my home.So we went there and start jumping and took lots of photos.OMG>>> It was so good.We tried to fall each other but only I was falling down because I had slippers and Cotti and Corinna had shoes.Ha ha ha...

Then we started watching 1 very comedy movie called "Rate Race"( Mr. bean was there in the movie.So obviously it is comedy).It was almost similar to 1 bollywood movie call "Dhamal."

Then around 5 Cotti's host dad came to pick her up.Only half movie was done on that time but she had to go and it was really very comedy so she was like, I want to finish this movie first.After she go we(Corinna and I) finish the movie.Then we started watching Mamma Mia,because I watched it before but Corinna had heard a lot about the but had never seen it and I just love that movie.So we started watching it.We ate Pizza in the dinner during the movie.Then my host mom and Haejin started watching Slumdog Millionaire and we were watching Mamma mia down stairs.After they complete the movie we started watching Slumdog...

We bought balloons from the mall.So me and Corrina made 4 balloons and wrote our names and Cotti's name on it.We took photos with it.As we were missing Cotti we wrote her name on balloon and wrote that we are missing you Cotti.

Then after we finish Slumdog...We started watching "17 Again" movie.I watched it before, but as before, I saw it and Corinna had not seen it before.So we watched it.It was our 4th movie of the day(or night...ha ha ha).When we counted that its the 4th one we started laughing.After that movie finish we started chatting and we went to bed around 3 in the morning.Ha ha ha...

10:15 or something Corinna's host dad call her that I'll be there in an hour or something.So his call woke up us but we slept again then my host mom wake up us again at 10:35 and then we took breakfast and then we she went to her home and I started writing my blog.Ha ha ha...:)
