Book Week

At school we had book week. Book week is a special week to celebrate the importance of books.
On Monday we got to dress up as a book character that connects to us.
I chose Thalia Grace from The Percy Jackson Series and The Heroes Of Olympus series because Thalia, in Titan's Curse, made a decision to be a hunter/huntress for Artemis and my favourite goddess in Greek mythology is Artemis.
So I used black clothes and I made this necklace out of loom bands (its a single) and the only colour is black. My dad made a lightning bolt out of cardboard and tinfoil and stuck it on the necklace. My dad also made this EXTREMELY EPIC bronze shield which is Thalia's weapon. It has Medusa's face on it and it looks EXTREMELY EPIC! And to go with the bronze shield, my dad made a spear. The stick part is metal covered with black duct tape and the pointy bit at the top is made of cardboard. Oh, and down below is a "fan-art" of Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, huntress of Artemis.

Birthdays

Well last week was a pretty busy week. There were three people I know that had their birthday.

1. CARSON!!!!

2. JOYA!!!!

3. MY DAD!!!!

So the first birthday was Carson's birthday and he turned 4 (He's so cute!) and his birthday cake was AWESOME and I am pretty sure his mum made it coz his mum makes the best looking cakes. Carson also had a birthday party but it was a few days after his actual birthday.
My family bought Carson this pack with Lego or Kreo or something for his birthday present.

The second birthday of the week was Joya's birthday and she turned 10 (first TWO DIGIT) and Joya is my bff and also her sister is too. In Carson's birthday party, they also celebrated Joya's birthday because it was the same week. And Carson's mum made a separate cake for Joya and it was AWESOME too.
For Joya's bday, my family bought her a knitted jumper from Target and this headband thing my mum chose to buy her.

The third birthday of the week was my dad's birthday and my dad turned 42 this year. On Sunday when it was exactly his birthday Carson's mum actually made him cake and it was SO CUTE!!! There is this man that looks like my dad made of icing.
Sadly, my mum, my brother and I haven't even got him a present even though his birthday past. I feel kind of bad to be honest.

So that is it for BIRTHDAYS. If you would like to read more, scroll down!

Thank you all for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog..

Percy Jackson Books COMPLETED!

A few days ago..
I FINISHED ALL THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS..
AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I am SOOOOO happy!
I am pretty sure you know that I like Percy Jackson stuff (if you don't know, thats alright) and I am really happy now.

Above this are all the books of the Percy Jackson Series. 

I recommend reading it because it is really really good.

There is a continuing of Percy Jackson books and its Heroes of Olympus. I am kind of upset to myself for not having the same motivation to read Heroes of Olympus as I did when I read the Percy Jackson series :'(

 The Lightning Thief is (I think) the thickest book.

The Sea of Monsters is the shortest but (no offence) the boringest.

The Titan's curse has a lot of girls in it (there are boys, just saying) and also the saddest book.

The Battle of the Labyrinth is the scariest book in my opinion.

The Last Olympian is the most violent and confusing book (no offence).

That's my "rating"

I read it in order because I wanted it to all make sense to me.

As I might have mentioned, I am hoping to have the same motivation. Please MOTIVATE ME!

Oh, and I will tell you (with a post) if I have been motivated enough and when I am reading HEROES OF OLYMPUS!!

Thank you for reading and I enjoy the rest of my blog,

BYE!

Interesting Movies

So you might know that I am in Australia but I am Indonesian (I might have mentioned it in another post). I was born in Australia though, when my mum was doing her "master" which is basically, a "step" before the PhD. I lived in Indonesia for about 6-7 years.

Recently, my family have been visiting the City Library and my brother and I went to the area that has our favourite books and my mum also joined us. My dad didn't join us. Instead, he went upstairs where there were BILINGUAL CDs AND DVDs and he went to the Indonesian section and he borrowed an Indonesian DVD called Garuda Di Dadaku. If you don't know what it means then here is a screen-shot:

Basically, it means GARUDA DI DADAKU (Garuda is a bird).

The movie is about this kid called Bayu who has a passion for soccer and his grandpa didn't let his dad and him play soccer and then his grandpa never spoke to Bayu's dad until the day he died blah blah blah...

And Bayu has a friend named Heri who loves soccer even though he can't play it since he needs a wheelchair. So then when they watched a match (Jakarta versus East Java), after the match, Bayu kicked HIS ball and it hit the Jakarta player's bus and this other guy who was a soccer pro saw him and gave him a "business card" for a soccer school. 

Um.. okay I think thats too much information (I don't want to SPOIL IT)

Don't expect it to be a lame BILINGUAL movie because if it was in English, it would be EXCELLENT (I read the ENGLISH SUBTITLES!). In my opinion, this movie is hilarious.

Than, the next 2 weeks we came to the City Library again.

I instantly asked my dad if he would let me go upstairs. I wanted to borrow Laskar Pelangi and Laskar Pelangi means THE RAINBOW TROOPS. Yes, another Indonesian film. I knew it was good because I watched the movie in 2008 and it was a shame I fell asleep at the VERY end of the movie. At the Library, my dad also found the 2nd part which is Sang Pemimpi which means The Dreamer in English. The Dreamer will make sense if you watch it Laskar Pelangi first. 

Both of the movies are really good. My mum cried when she watched both of the movies because it is SO EMOTIONAL. Prepare some tissues because the tears will burst out very quickly when there is an emotional part (I DID NOT CRY BECAUSE MY TEARS DONT BURST EASILY).

YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT ALRIGHT?

Watch GARUDA DI DADAKU, LAKAR PELANGI and SANG PEMIMPI.

Now I want to watch more Indonesian movies (that is alright for my age) which is strange because I like English better no offence.
