I just got back from my Holiday (:

I went to visit my Grandparents who live about a 3 hour drive away from us by the sea. Anyways me and my sister stayed there for 10 days and it was so much fun. We went to see my cousins who I haven't seen since April, and they've left for their holiday in Portugal, lucky.

Anyways we got there about 4 in the afternoon and went shopping. For chocolate. I ate so much chocolate the past 10 days it's unbelievable, but yummy (: BUt we went shopping every other day and went to the beach quite a few times, and built some bad sandcastles, of which photos will be up soon.

On Thursay me, my sis and cousin went to the local swimming pool. Now I haven't been swimming in about 3 years...so it took me a while to remember actually how to swim and my sister actually couldn't, she just kinda of floated and refused to go further than 1.8m in depth, because, she's kinda short, well I think she's short because I know I was a lot taller when I was her age. I was 5'6.5" when I was 13 and now I'm 14 1/2 and I'm just 5'8. And my cousin's a year older than me and a tiny bit taller than me, and she's been swinning for years and years and has life saving classes, so she's a pretty good and very fast swimmer, so trying to race her was a failed attempt. But this pool it was really deep. It started at 1.15m, then went to 1.3m, 1.5m, 1.8 then in about 3m it went from 1.8 to 3.75m! Well me and my cousin swam up and down the pool and my sister just kind of bobbing in the water. Then they brought out this massive inflatable asunlt course, with a massive inflatable polar bear-so cute! But none of us did it because, well, yeah. So, after 3 hours of swimming we got out and went to the cafe, then went home. Andthen in the eveing we went back to the swimming pool to watch my cousin do life saving for an hour, then my other cousin doing normal swimming for 1 hour and 1/2. They're really good swimmers!! The older one did 32 laps, for a warm up!  But we didn't stay because it was stupidly hot.

Whilst at my grandparents house, the main activity of the day, when we were not out, was watching the television, followed by a walk around the block in the evening. My grandparents have sky, so obviously a lot more to watch, but like 600+ channels and all we really watched was music channels and the Disney channel. Which is where my lil sis got a celebrity crush on Sterling Knight (google, he has nice eyes) Actually, here's a picture:

Yeah, that's Sterling Knight.

Then we visited relatives, went to the park, and played hockey with a tennis ball and my grandma's walking stick, don't worry she let us, actually she was the one who suggested it. Then we rolled down a massive hill and almost into a bush. And then when I got home I spent about 10 minutes trying to get rid of all the grass, it was every where!

And also, with me and my sis being able to speak Chinese, it was natural of our grandparents to take us to the Chinese takeaway. So we went, ordered and at then the end I said "xiexie ni, zaijian" which means, 'thank you, goodbye' and everyine in the shop came round to say goodbye to us, which was slightly overwhelming. But the food was delicious. I was trying to be a vegetarian, but I kinda of gave up, but I don't eat beef or fish. I don't know what it is but unless it hase bones in the food, like ribs or fish, I don't feel like I'm eating an animal, it's kind of wierd. If the meat has bones I will not eat it. It's wierd I know. But anyways the Chinese people were very nice and they can cook a real nice Chicken chow mein.

Anyway that basically sums up my holiday.
And on Wednesday I'm going ice skateing with Keiko - yes she has returned.
