My 1st Camera!!!! N my 16th B'day!!!

I am SIXTEEN, and just that bit farther away from arriving in adulthood. And my Mum keeps saying that I should go for drving lessons next year. Me? Seriously? I who sometimes am too scared to even cross the road because I think the cars are going too fast and will make road-kill out of me. Me?? I might have to think this idea through just a bit more. Let's say, 10 years. Then, I'll really decide.

Mind, I was over the moon the last couple of days, but then I got back my results, and just as I predicted....must I say more? So malulah!!! I so failed my Add. Maths.. At least I got okay results in everything else though. I'll just have to work harder from now on. Anyway, I got a new camera in the past week! It's a Nikon. And it's not my birthday present. My parents owed it to me, and it actually costs way out of their budget, but according to my Mum, I deserve it for getting my set of straight A's, so I am now the proud owner of a new camera with a battery that I ran flat only two days after getting it and charging it for 8 whole hours. It has been re-charged and I can now use it (play with it) again.

Here is the 1st official picture that I took with it:

Took this a couple of days before my birthday. Actually wanted to take a pic. of my ruined glasses that I wore last year and had 'fixed' with rubberbands (as opposed to Harry Potter's cellotape mending method - my Uncle is so much more creative with cool mending methods than him) and got laughed at for wearing, and which the workers at the optometrist's further broke by super-bending it beyond repair. I believe that this was their scheme to make me buy a new one... I'm just kidding. I would've bought a new one anyway. So, this is Chocolate Factory...or Charlie....(I can't tell which). What do their names make up? You do the math.

Then, we made sushi at my grandma's.

Aren't they just beautiful? Used sausages, cucumbers, fried eggs, crabsticks, real sushi rice, and large pieces of seaweed, because we are poor people and can't aford any better. Still, I am so proud of myself!!

Then, I took some pretty wacky pictures. Guess what this is...??

Lost?? It's actually the rear-end of...

A fruit like this!!!

It's called the Buddha's Palm, and I must say, if Buddha's palm reeally looked like this, he has one ugly pair of hands... No offence meant.

Then, on Saturday, we went out to dinner. I mean my family and I. And I took this picture:

Daddy is pouring me tea! Isn't it pretty?

Oh, and Happy Birthday, Daddy! I'm wishing you again on my blog, so you should be grateful. Not that I think anyone ever reads it.

For the record, my B'day is on the 23rd of March. And I was born in the year 1993.

Can't believe I'm now almost a day older than sixteen now...

Merciless Wheel of Time.
