My fun day!

Today was very fun (Saturday) - well more fun than usual! Well from 9:00am - 12:00am, I had chinese school which sort of ruined the perfect day because I had a calligraphy contest and I failed but I don't really care! Then after that, me and my brother went to T&T to buy yummy sushi and yummy green tea ice cream cake! Mmmmm! When we went home I ate and just "chilled" and at around 3:00 we went to Downtown (or sort of) because it was just such a lovely day. We went to Queen St. East! We didn't go to West because we were going to do a LOT of shopping during March Break. So we started walking and then we came upon a Starbucks! My family doesn't really like starbucks because they think everything there is bitter which is sort of true. So I bought a small hot chocolate with whipped cream and it was yummmy! A bit bitter but I don't mind. SO, we continued to look at different shops and then my brother went to his favorite shop there which sells african masks and drums - and he bought ANOTHER african mask and it's pretty big. So we continued walking and then we went to a bookstore and bought 3 books. My brother bought an african art book and a book about Hercules and I bought a book called "The Princes in the Tower" which i'm sort of interested in. Then we kept walking to interesting stores and then it was finally time to go, but before we went, I bought a Baskins Robbins ice cream and the special cone too! I think it was called Olympic Torch cone or something where there's one cone but there's 2 holders for the ice cream and it was only 2 dollars! While we were walking to the car (and eating my ice cream), my mom and I saw a dog that was walking really slow and we thought that it might be just because it was old but then it started running really fast because - it was trying to catch squirell. Funny right? Then we went home and then went to a friend's house to eat dinner! When I first went there I just played with the friend's son. After dinner, he helped me memorize my speech! Now I memorized 3 out of 5 paragraphs of my speech! After we just played but then we had to go :(
And that was the end of my fun day!

Alice in Wonderland



This is the movie poster for Alice in Wonderland! Pretty cool, eh?



On P.A Day, I watched Alice in Wonderland, the movie directed by Tim Burton - without my brother. LOL! I love Tim Burton films. I don't know why but i just enjoy watching them unless there horror movies. In THAT case, I"ll pass. This movie was pretty good overall for me but when i asked my parents, they said it was okay and that this movie was probably more for kids. I think the mad hatter costume was so cool! It should get an Oscar for it. The graphics were really cool too when Alice was in Wonderland. Some parts were funny too :) I've been waiting forever for this movie to come out. I just like watching Tim Burton movies especially when Johnny Depp is in it too! The Toronto Star gave it a 3 1/2 stars out of 4 and I totally agree! It was much better than the Percy Jackson movie.

plot : Alice Kingsley, attends a party shortly after the death of her father. When she finds out that the party is actually an engagement party to wed her into the family of her father's friend and current owner of his trading business, Alice spots a White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch.She runs off into a maze and follows the White Rabbit through it. She eventually tumbles down a rabbit hole into Wonderland. She soon finds out that the White Rabbit has been searching for "The Alice" who is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon who terrorizes the inhabitants of Wonderland under the rule of the Red Queen.

Cast: Alice - Mia Waskikowska
Mad Hatter - Johnny Depp
Red Queen - Helena Carter <- I think she played Beatrice in Harry Potter
Anne Hathaway - White Queen <- she looks really different
(There's more but I don't know them)
There were a lot of posters for this movie and I like all of them so here are some of them:
