A flag, a camera, an origami crane, a silly band music note, my iPod, Vegemite, Japanese doll, a shell, a friendship bracelet, and a packet to sour Razzles, How could all these objects represent me?
My flag that says "Aussie Aussie Aussie" and that represents me because I come from Australia and I lived there for 10 years. When I look at my flag, all of my memories come flooding back, I remember having my dogs running up and down the hallway and my cousins laugh. I miss my friends, my house, and the clear blue skies.
My camera: I love taking photos and then looking back at all the fun times I have had. I got my camera for Christmas in 2008 and ever since then I have had a passion for taking photos. On that Christmas day I took a photo of every plant at my grandparents house and I was so happy that I had received that camera because I'd wanted one for so long. When you look through a camera lens you see the world differently almost like everything is perfect for that moment, or you see into the essence of a moment. When you press down the button and look back at the photo and you feel amazing that it is possible to capture a moment that tells a story.
An Origami crane because I always make origami things and I love how many amazing things you can do with paper. A few years ago I brought an origami book and had learnt how to make some basic things then when I moved to Malaysia, I met a girl called Sari who was Japanese and she always taught me how to make a different thing every day on the bus and soon I grew to love origami and made something daily. Fold by fold you slowly start to see what you’re making and once complete I undo it again and start over to memorize every fold.
A music note silly band because I play the clarinet. I started the clarinet when I was nine and I played with my school band in Australia and I had lessons weekly and when I moved to Malaysia I couldn’t do band for 6 months and then I started up again and playing the clarinet was so important to me because it was the only thing I have stuck at my whole life. The day I brought my clarinet I played it all day trying to remember what I had learnt in Australia.
My iPod because I love listening to music and listening to all the latest songs. I saved up for my Ipod touch for 6 months earlier this year and I remember the day I bought it, I was so excited, all the waiting was worth it. Most of my friends and I like Justin Beiber, but I appreciate all kinds of music, it all depends on my mood.
A jar of Vegemite because it is one of the foods that not many people eat it. I have eaten vegemite ever since I can remember and it is one of the things I have liked my whole life and all my friends in Australia have eaten it since they were little too. I also like Vegemite because it reminds me of when I was little. I ate a vegemite sandwich for lunch nearly every day for five years and yet I still love it.
A Japanese Doll because I collect them and I love the way they look. One day I was shopping and I saw these modern Japanese dolls with personalities and I loved them so much that for my birthday I got a few and somehow now I have 9 so when I see one while travelling I buy them if they look a bit different from everything else.
I picked a shell because I love the beach and go there every Christmas and I also collect shells whenever I go to the beach, I went to Sabah this summer and I stayed at a Backpackers Island for a night and they had some amazing shells, so my dad and I picked a lot up so that we could make a jar of shells from our trip so we could have great memories.
I picked a friendship bracelet because I love my friends and they are always there for me and I also think that they are like tying your friendship together. I like my friendship bracelet because I made it with some of my closest friends and whenever I see it I think of them and all the fun times we had in our sleepovers.
The final object I chose is a packet of Sour Razzles because they’re my favourite kind of candy and even though I have only had them once in my life, I still find them amazing because first they are candy and then after you have chewed on them they turn into gum.
I’m a person who treasures my friends because they are always there for me.
vegemite tastes like shit
