This morning I went to church in Tai Po for the ceremony~it started at around 10 but we are told to arrive at 9:30, so it turn out that we are the youngest among all to be baptise...there are a total of 41 people...only 6 of us are secondary school students, all the others are I think...at least 25 or over.  I saw one really old man ..I think he's in his 60s...but....anyway...it just feels strange to be surrounded by lots of adults.  There we are...and the priest said that we are to be taken as ...well, I don't know to say it...but I guess it's to agree that we'll soon be a part of the catholic family.  So everyone clapped and that was kind of touching.  That made me feel welcomed.

  Then, I went home and did my homework in my room...with those guests outside in the living room.  Luckily I brought my computer in so after I finished my homework I can still stay in my room and play 'round on the net~or else I may have to go out to greet mom's guests...or mom will force me to play the piano for them.  Staying in my room was the best idea ever! I'm just in my little world where no one can disturb me!

  Well, school again tomorrow! I don't really want to be at school~need to wake up early and put on the uniform then go on the train and then walk to school up the hill and climb up the stairs and finally get to my classroom and day-dream until the day ends.  And I have a Math test on Tuesday!...Isn't that exciting? Ohhh...I'm just so excited about it because I can have another chance to fail the test AGAIN!!!!!!!! Why must there be so many math tests? I just don't understand and will never understand! (Sigh....) Anyway, CHEER UP Denise!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I used more than half of my day thinking of the steps for our dance competition~and I almost figured out the WHOLE  ENTIRE dance!!!!!!!!! I'm just so happy about it and felt quite proud of myself.  Next week I will need to teach the others in my class...which I think will be quite a difficult job cuz most of them never dances before.  Anyway~I hope that everyone can have fun while practising the dance...that's much more important than whether we get a prize or not.

  So, here I am~newly 15 years old Denise...doesn't that sounds scary~although I really want to grow up as fast as possible...I just don't feel like I'm mature enough to be 15...strange, isn't it? I'm still me and nothing seems to be any different~so....just forget about it and ....yea....nothing...

  Tomorrow morning I need to attend a mass in the church in Tai Po, it's said to be a kind of ceromony you must go before getting baptism...so I must get up early in the morning and arrive at around 9:30.  Then, when I go home, there's gonna be some peope who I don't really like visiting us...mom asked them to come, actually~I just hated it...but didn't dare to say a word...cuz mom may be angry.  I hink I need to lock my bedroom door in-case those people come in to my room...which I absolutely don't want it to happen~Mom told me to be back home to greet our guests right after the mass is over...but maybe I'll just walk around some-where else instead of going home...cuz I don't want to meet those~guests...(sign)...So I hope that the mass is gonna last forever so I won't need to get home so early.  (praying...)

  Gonna have dinner now...I'm not really hungry though~anyway~mom's calling out there~she's gonna force me to eat lots of food....I think I may barf...

  So~HAPPY BIRTHDAY To MEeeeeeeee! I'm now 15!!!! Really exciting, huh? Finally 15...still three more years to go then I'll become an adult! I'm really looking forward to it!

  So this morning Sandra and Florence gave me very pretty birthday presents ~Sandra gave me a necklace...one for me and one for herself~mine is a Mickey with a Pink ear and FRIENDS written on it.  Hers is a Mickey with a Blue ear and BEST written on it...it's really meaningful~I will always put that necklace on!!! And Florence gave me an Eeyore ...um...kinda like the kind of thing to put letters in~so now I just hang it on my bedroom door! It looks terrific! I just want to thank both of them so much!

  And to my supprise...there were...let me see...Sandra, Florence, Hailie, Doris, Mandy, Carrie, Carmen, Vick, Cynthia, Natalie, Kenneth, Jacky, Winnie, Miss Lui and two boys from 3A and B(I forgot...they are classmates from form 1! Really happy that they still remember!).  I think that's all! Lots of people wish me a happy birthday~well, not many ....but~that's a lot to me already~cuz I don't actually know many people...And there's Becky who sent me a birthday message through the phone and Pinky who send me a birthday message through MSN! I want to thank them too! Just can't tell how much better it feels to have someone to actually remember your birthday and say Happy Birthday to you...I always thought that I'm forgotten~so those who said Happy Birthday to me...you'll never know how much you helped me. 

  Anyway~only that I'm 15 doesn't mean I'm gonna Change...I still the same person as I used to be and...still that girl that always sense things a little slower than normal...the girl who always eats really slow compare to Sandra and Florence and Hailie...the girl who's always joked around by Sandra....but some-how~I'm glad about it.

  I felt quite nice today~my birthday turned out all quite nicely and......I'm really grateful about it.  Although there were times that I felt...well~I don't know how to explain it...but maybe that's what it is supposed to be~there's never something that's perfect.  Maybe I'll stay up until 12:00 tonight so I can give a fare-well to my birthday....good-bye...

  Here are some really pretty words made by FDlorence again~great thanks to her!!! 

  TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE ....don't let anything unlucky happen to me!!!!! Everyone~my friends!!!~please PRAY FOR ME!!!! OMG~~~I'm extremely scared!

  So, today was...COLDddddd! Not as cold as yesterday, though...I was kinda dissapointed this morning about...seeing my un-lucky star, which leads to the problem of being hurt again or not seeing...well~luckily I didn't get hurt, but it just seemed so weird...all day long~there's a strange feeling.  I was so up-set while...just after lunch, we had C.L. lesson and needa go to 3rd floor computer room~There~I felt much more better!!! Cuz...(Steph and Florence might know what I wanna say...)  That's why I felt much better and it's a secret~between me and my best friends. And tomorrow...hope-fully~Miss yau won't hand us back our math tests, I just KNEW that I'm gonna flunk~AGAIN!!!......(sobbing......)Why am I so stupid that I can't even prove a parallelogram or a triangle??????

  Here I am today...this diary thing finally finished its repair....so~here are some really pretty things that Florence made for me...I just want all of you to have a good look of them~cuz they really are pretty! A great thanks to Florence!!!  By the way~Miss Chan changed our seats today(again) I'm now sitting near the door~second row...next to Mandy(which is great!)But in front of David(which is NO GOOD!!!)poor me......anyway, oh!!! I saw my Un-lucky star again today!!! ANd guess what happened next~!!! I got HURT!!!(there's blood...although just a tiny tiny bit...still...)And...it hurts....(sobbing......)

And last Friday night, Mandy, Karen, Doris and I went to Tsim Sha Tsui for a Jazz Concert.  We have to do a report on it for our music lessons...so...the concert was fantastic and really fasinating! I just love it so much!! Everyone claps with the beat and I almost wanted to dance!!! It feels great! Then, the concert ended at around 9:30 p.m., and the four of us decided to have a walk along the Avenue of Stars.  It was a windy and quite cold night but it felt great cuz I just think that the four of us are so close together and that's what friends are...we took lots of photos there and had lots of fun.  I arrived home at around 11...that night was wonderful cuz I don't use to stay out late with friends...so~it's special. Here are the photos!
