Assignment #6 :)

                   Something I would really like to do is watch movies. Not just any movies but movies about us, and life. The best part is that we get the power, we get to chose the movies, and we get to pick what we want to write about. We are in control and have an opinion and  that usually does NOT happen How it would work is each of us would suggest 2 movies and pick the top 4. If they were inappropriate the would be taken out. We would watch them all and then each of us would pick their favourite. After picking your favourite you would write an essay on it, and you would mark it. If not an essay a final project. You could do ANYTHING. No criteria, and NO limits. For example "The Bucket List" (which I would not mind watching again). We would watch it and do a final project. My final project would probably be a bucket list  Explaining why and when I want to achieve them. Some would be lifelong, and some may be like getting my "L" on the first try and other things. We may not like to write or watch movies about boring old topics that we don't care for, but we all LOVE watching movies. I know I do!!Writing  about what we chose, prefer, and enjoy is actually lots of fun. Not only would we get to watch movies but doing work after that doesn't feel like homework but pleasure is awesome. It relates to English because it helps us with our writing, abilities to write, our imagination/creativity, and it would take at least 2 weeks!! I LOVE movies and writing about what I enjoy so I think this is a great idea and it should happen soon. :)

Assignment #5

Wow, grade 8 has gone by so fast. I remember the first day of school when my sister said to me  “ you gotta star wearing nice clothes.. You have to star dressing like a girl”. How I intend to make these last 11 weeks of grade 8 memorable is to change my attitude towards high school.  When I first though of high school I though it was going to be terrible. You know, being the new kids in high school and everyone picking on the bottom feeders, but its actually really great! I’ve made new friends and experienced new things. People say how high schools the best time of your life and you’ll never forget it, and I don’t want to forget it. I want to remember it forever.  My whole perspective on high school has changed and so has my attitude towards it. How I intend to make it unforgettable is to be bold, because I’ve always been really shy and self-conscious on the inside, but I don’t want to remember myself as the boring and shy Amneet when I was in grade 8. I want to be remembered as bold, and different. I will grab at any opportunity to break out of  my shell. I hope to make these next few years and these 11 weeks memorable  because well come on your only in grade 8 once.. Might as well enjoy it J

Music

         I think a “good song” is a song with meaning. Not about cars, girls or money  but something that sincerely means something to you or it just has a great beat and its catchy.  Some music I listen to like Tupac or Nelly brings back old memories of family and just being together with my family. They both have always been a favourite for everyone in my family. Even my aunt sings their songs sometimes! A good song  may not mean something to someone else but it means something to you and you enjoy listening to that song. Some of my favourite songs give me tingles when I listen to them and make me smile J. Why these are my favourite song are because well Lupe Fiasco when through depression and was thinking about committing suicide and it inspired him to make an amazing and inspirational album, Nicki Minaj is an amazing rapper, Cody Simpson is just the cutest little Australian, Chris Brown has been one of my favourite for a LONG time, Justin Bieber  sings about girls, but he makes the person listening to the song feel like he’s singing the song to them, and Glee just sings the most touching songs. This song I chose by Glee is an original song and it’s about being different and getting bullied but still being proud of who you are.  I have A LOT of favourite songs but my top 6 songs at the moment are…
(sorry couldn’t decide 5)

Chris Brown
Forgiving All My Enemies 

Never Forget You- Lupe Fiasco ft. John Legend
Super Bass- Nicki Minaj
All Day- Cody Simpson <3
Get Back Up- T.I. ft. Chris Brown
Next 2 You- Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber
Loser Like Me- Glee Cast!

Nicki Minaj

       Not all of my favorite songs have meaning but some do. The important message a few of these songs send is that your only human, always keep your head up, even though your different your unique, and don’t live in the past but in the present. I enjoy listening to these song because they all have great beats, good meanings, and I love the artists! I believe that the artist writes about what they’ve gone through so you can relate to the song and so it means something to you. Those are my favorite songs, why I picked them, and what they mean to me.

The Creativity Company.

I think The Creativity Company would be rated a 7/10 on the creativity scale. It was creative in the way in which it didn't need  flashy signs, and funky music, or even dialog. The most creative thing in this video in my opinion was that how the orange object was transformed into many things without changing the actually object, It was just reformed a little, also how the box had turned into a car at the end of the video. I thought that was pretty cool.  The concept of thinking outside the box and just adding a bit of creativity and imagination made it entertaining to watch. The video didn't make me say “WOW”, that was creative but it was fun to watch. If I were to rate my creative abilities I would rate myself a 7.5/10. If I were to write a short story I would write something I am passionate about or what I think is interesting and it would probably be quite creative. Although I’m not the most creative person in the world, but when I get interested in something creativity sparks out of me. That’s what I think if The Creativity Company.

my most memorable day in 2010 :(

One of the most memorable days in 2010 for me was during February or March, I had found out that I would be moving soon! Now this as to anyone would come as a surprise as it did to me. They told me they bought a nice house in Oliver with a big orchard. I didn’t know how to react to that big change. The only thing I could think of was being away from my Aunt and Uncle. I had lived in the house I live in now since I was about 3 months old, and that was all I knew. Leaving my home would be the most devastating thing that could have ever happened to me. I had grown up in this house and never thought that I’d ever have to leave it.  The first thing I said when my mom and dad told me was “ I'M NOT MOVING!”  For the first few nights afterwards I cried  my eyes out. I mean come on, what would you do when someone snatches something away from you that you’ve loved so much.  I still tell them that I’m not moving but I know I’ll have to when the time comes. Although I  have not moved yet, I’ll have to by the end of March with my family and start a new beginning. I still dread the thought of ever leaving this place but its going to happen soon. That’s my most memorable memory of 2010. Its not the memory I’d like to have experienced but it was a life changing… literally.

My new house.

Family

There are 5 people in my family. My sister Rajneet, my younger brother Navraj, my father Nirmal, my mother Rajinder, and me. In my household there are usually 10 people.There is my full family, my amazing aunt Sukhwinder, my helpful uncle Shamsher,  my cousin Roopjeet, her brother Balraj, the middle child Parmvir, my grandpa Mall Singh and my lovable Grandma, Balvir Kaur. Even though they are not my immediate family, I have lived with them since I was born, and have become my only family. In my family I fall in the middle. I am In middle child of 3. My grandparents alternate from India to Canada every 8 or so months. Right now my grandma is here and my grandpa is in India. I would like to have him here but he’s enjoying the time he has there with our other family.

In my family there are lots of people, so there’s lots of love to spread around. On March 25th we had found out that there would be a new addition to our family. His name is Gurthahj, and hes the most wonderful child I’ve ever met. Hes not here with us because hes vacationing over in India with his parents, but we get to Skye with him every so often. Now hes 11 and a half months old and as joyful as one can be. His parents Param Brar, and Lakhwinder Brar live in Kelowna with him. Although they live in Kelowna and we don’t get to see him much but when we do we all fight like a pack of dogs over him. We taught him how to say his first words.. Its was “HOT!” the way he said it was just so breathtaking and I had never heard such a beautiful sound. I love the way he laughs when we play peek-a-boo, and the way he thrives to explore the world around himself. I love him so much and just can`t wait to see him again.
