A ten year old Diary

sorry Singapore!!! i did not celebrate your birthday but HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! instead i went on a road trip to Malaysia with mummy and my grandparents. mummy was in charge of driving while i was in charge of SLEEPING!!! it was a long way so i was quite bored on the way.

halfway into our journey, we stopped to go to the toilet and have a quick snack -- A&W waffle!!! after that, i slept till we reached genting. heehee.. well.... i was tired and it was a long way up to genting. the temperature got colder and colder so i started putting on my jacket. did i tell you that we waited 3 hours for the hotel room?! i was bored to death.

finally, we checked in. we left our stuff in the room and went for dinner. we ate a big bowl of noodles each. after the wonderful dinner, we went back to our room while my grandparents went to the casino to try out their luck... keke...

the next day, mummy brought me to the theme park again! this time we took more exciting rides, unfortunately, my favourite ride was under maintenance.. *sad* this time i changed my favourite ride to bumper cars. this was my first time driving the bumper car on my own as my grandma claimed that it was "dangerous".

we played for the whole day and even forgot about lunch. we got scolded by my grandma.. my dinner for that day was fish and chips. did i mention we had baskin robins for dessert? cookies n cream.... yummy yummy!!!

on the last day of the road trip, we had marrybrown for breakfast and checked out. actually, we were rather tired to stick to our plan of dropping by Malacca on our way back. however, mummy gave in after my endless pleadings.... ta-da.... we were there to eat the chendol and chicken rice balls that was supposedly very famous. i was disappointed when i knew that the chendol was sold out. hmmmm...... at least the chicken rice balls was not. it was my first time eating the chicken rice balls and i found the balls weird. besides eating, we bought lots of tibits home which costed us RM123.20.

before reaching Singapore, we had our last dinner at JB. we had a great feast. well..... end of story. although it was a amazing trip, it certainly deprived me of sleep..... which is my favourite pastime!!!

Ready.... Go!!!

Grrrrr..... T-rex!!!

Roller coaster

My car??? keke....

4D motion monster

Slam-dunk time!!

Wanton noodles

Mac Breakfast

Cookies n Cream

Yummy yummy

i want to share with you all about one of my good friend, wen xuan's party. i am only allowed to go to this party because i scored full marks for speed test and lots of begging. the party started at 2 and ended at 8.30. as we had used up the time for playing, so we had to cut cake at 8.30.

it all started when i arrived 30 minutes late. wen xuan and all my other friends escorted me to her house. when i reached her house i we planned to wait for everyone before going to play. one by one all of the friends wen xuan had invited arrived except for tzer yun.

suddenly, she called wen xuan saying that she was at the guardhouse. jed, liang ying, shi hui, jocelin, tao jun, yong le, christine, shu fen,wen xuan and i rush down to fetch tzer yun. on the way to the guardhouse, there was a swimming pool. as we had waited for our friends for quite some time, i got a little bored. so i decided to push jed into the pool. he came up wet and furious because he didn't have a extra shirt or clothing with him. we went to the toilet to dry his clothing with the handdryer. meanwhile, wen xuan and shu fen went to fetch tzer yun. Oops! i forgot to mention that shi hui will be leaving for a while because she is going for tuition. (she will be back later.)

after all this mess, we get to play! we played golf, badminton and watched movies. half way through the fun, christine, jocelin, shufen and i got really hungry. we went up to wen xuan's house and her mum offered us some tibits while waiting for her mum to prepare the food for the barbeque. we also watched Spiderwreck. (don't really know if i spelled correctly.)

after that, the weather change suddenly. it rained! the whole group rush up to wen xuan's house to help her mum to take the food down to the barbeque pit. the shelter at the barbeque pit was small and there is a lot of people there. right next to the barbeque pit, there is a playground which had a roof. so when we finished taking our food, we went right to the roof and eat.

well, we played while we were eating and forgotten to take note of the time. when we finished our food, it was still early. wen xuan asked us whether we wanted to sing karaoke. since we had nothing to do, why not? liang ying was very excited as she wanted to sing justin bieber's songs but too bad they don't have it there... it seems that the tv is spoil or something and it can't list out all of the songs. while we were waiting, we took pictures of one another and chasing each other in the karaoke room.

after a while, the tv is still not fix even wen xuan's dad asked the security guard. somebody found out that it was 8.30 and everyone was shocked. everyone gave up and started to say that their parents would scold if they are not at the guardhouse at 8.30. then came all the phone calls from our family and we explained everything.

everything was ready! wen xuan's mum took out the cake and placed it on the table. we sang "happy birthday" in the fast version. we wolfed down the cakes that wen xuan served us and we went to the guardhouse to wait for our parents.

Happy Belated Birthday wen xuan! hope what you wished come true!

hey all! i am back from Beijing! it was fun and interesting learning trip as i know more about ancient china. the places where we visited were places i went when i was young but it is different when you go there with your family and friends. if you had been to china, you may want to go online to search for more information about this country and its rich history. etc. the first emperor of china.

we even made friends at Beijing, zhongguancun No.2 and guess what? they are coming to Singapore at the 12th, 13th and 14th July! i am so looking forward to it!

i didn't take any photos as i didn't take my camera to Beijing. the thing is that my friend lost her camera but it didn't happen to me!

on the last day at zhongguancun No.2, coincidentally, it was their children's day! we sang for them, hoping they will feel our sincerity and like the song. we even exchange souvenirs. still thinking what to buy for them when they visit Singapore... if you have a good idea, please key in you idea at the gossip box.

actually, i don't really think that this trip has anything special just that i went there with my school and made friends with some China pupils. that's was something different when you don't get to do when you go china without school.

we also purchase goods at the shopping mall but this mall is a lot different as we can bargain there.so i bought a Man United jersey, 2 shirts for myself, 2 pouches and 2 panda soft toy for my buddies. i didn't buy any shirt for mummy as i had forgotten her size.

after all the fun and freedom we had without our parents, home sweet home... it's kind of sad to go home but missed mummy and grandparents!

2010-05-25T21:21:00.003+08:00

dear all,

i am going to beijing tomorrow and looking forward to the trip... i have packed my luggage and ready to board the plane!!!

most importantly, mummy bought me a luggage specially for this trip. it is red in colour and 24 inch in size. it is the first time having my own luggage as i had always been sharing with my grandmother whenever we go overseas.

i am excited as this is the first time i am travelling with school and kia joo is my room-mate!!!!! most of the places we are going to go are places where i went when i was a kid but i will still enjoy it.

i will updates you guys when i get back from this trip!!!!

warmest regards,
shannon

hey there everybody! i want to share with you guys what had happened to my new friend - 'Sam'. (the name was changed to protect her real identity)

BEWARE! THIS JOKE MAY CAUSE US TO LAUGH OUR HEADS OFF!

one fateful day, she went to buy her contact lens. we dropped her at the bus stop near the optical shop. later on, a bus came behind us. we had no choice but to move to the car park opposite. it was quite far so we could not see her and she could not see us too.

when she was done, she stood at the original place where we dropped her. we did not know that she was waiting for us. then, came a white car, which stopped right in front of her (DIRECTLY in front of her). by the way, our car is also white!!

she opened the door and stepped into the car. She said ' 你怎么知道我来了? ' as she buckled her seatbelt. As she turned to the driver, he was waving frantically at her. GUESS WHAT? the driver was an Indian guy!!

the bus stop was full of people. she jumped out of the car immediately and pretended to use her iPhone. she said an auntie was seen laughing at her. meanwhile, zoom zoom uncle thought that she would be ready so he went to the bus stop to look for her.

zoom zoom uncle and her came back to the car giggling about something. we were very curious so we asked about what had happened. that was when we both burst out laughing when she told us the whole story (laughed till tummy pain and tears rolled).

the problem is, she cannot really differentiate between a Mitsubishi and a Subaru!!! :P

2010-02-04T13:40:00.002+08:00

have you ever felt sympathise for the elderly? well, i do. so i decided to help them by giving them free gifts for Chinese new year. this voluntary work was organised by our Indian chief - dong dong uncle. we went all the way to Chinatown block 5 to help out and we were supposed to wear black for the day. but don't the elders think that black is bad luck?

when we reached there, we were looking for dong dong uncle but he was late AGAIN.

after a hard time waiting in the sun, the "gifts" finally arrived. we "threw" all the goodies into the lift and sent it up to the 3rd floor while we took the stairs. the goodies bags contain eggs, fruits and many more. we were supposed to send the gifts to everyone staying in block 5. hence, we have a mini lucky draw to see the units which we have to to delivery. guess what floor we are going to deliver to? #08-80. that was really a lucky pick!!

we got to the unit and pressed the doorbell but no one answered. we waited and waited then an old man opened the door. i guessed he was in the washroom. he seemed very happy to receive the goodies. then, we went back to the 3rd floor again to find an old lady and an old man. we decided to help one each. i helped the old lady while my mummy helped the old man. mummy was going to the 20 floor and i was gong to the 4th floor. the gift bag was very heavy.... about 3kg? i was not too sure.

i was carrying a 3kg gift bag while the old lady was walking slowly..... opened the door slowly..... and pushed the door slowly..... COME ON!!!! MY ARMS ARE BREAKING!!!! i quickly left the gift bag on her kitchen table and left.

while on the way down to 3rd floor, i met ah yi and biao yi zhang. they were amazed that i actually delivered the bag on my own. ha ha.... I can do it too ok!!!

when everyone returned, we took a group photo. don't you feel good when you did something nice to people around you? well, i believe in what goes around comes around. maybe someday something good will happen to me. hee hee hee.....

BIRTHDAY!!!!!

2010-01-22T18:20:00.000+08:00

this post is late.... because i was busy with my schoolwork. Everything is so chaotic during the first few weeks of school.

i would like to share how i spent my birthday. although it was not my dream party but I have learnt to appreciate.

this was a surprise party. when mummy brought me to united square, i smelt something fishy because we went there like less than a week ago. However, i tried very hard to act blur. Ha ha.....

well, mummy is not familiar with united square so she asked directions from someone working in one of the shops, "where is Swensens?". immediately, suspicion filled my mind. I was asking myself, why would mummy bring me to Swensens when she did not know the place? i was thinking of a reason while mummy held my hand and dragged me into the lift.

suddenly, the answer popped up in my mind. it was my birthday!!! Could it be a surprise party? a cheeky smile appeared on my face.

mummy saw my smile and asked, "what's up with that smile?"

i replied, "nothing much..." but there was another question, who would be attending the party?

i was going to find out soon as i made a sharp left turn. unexpectedly, i saw Winnie sitting at the table alone... i had confirmed that this was surely a party that was organized for me. i felt very honoured.

one by one, the people came. after all the waiting, everyone was finally sitted at the tables..... Zac, Hui ling, Berlinda, Peili, Sharon, Madeline, Anna and Winnie.

we each ordered our favourite food. i ordered my all time favourite - SALMON. i waited and waited and waited (x100). the service was slow, i meant VERY slow.... disappointing. my stomach was growling louder at the count of every minute. i thought the waiter will hear my growling soon. just when i was going to burst my anger, the food finally came. the waiter was lucky to get away with that!!!

once i brought the salmon into my mouth, my anger vanished into thin air. THE SALMON WAS DELICIOUS!!! i love it.... i wolfed down the food quickly while enjoying the taste.

after the foodie period, i wanted to open one of the presents. i decided to open Zac's present. guess what? it is a uno stacko and a set of uno cards. i got a pencil case filled with candies from Maddy.

it was a memorable birthday for me. i understood that it is not about how you celebrate it but it is all about enjoying yourself.

2009-12-28T21:45:00.005+08:00

mummy and i celebrated an unforgettable Christmas eve this year. we went to watch the weirdest movie ever! the movie was AVATAR. Biao yi zhang booked the tickets online for everyone. but the disappointing thing was, the movie was not in 3D :(

let me tell you the plot.....

Pandora is inhabited by the Na’vi. Na'vi is a blue-skinned "monsters". they are physically stronger and several feet taller than humans, the blue-skinned "monsters" live in harmony and worship a mother goddess called Eywa.

Humans cannot breathe Pandora’s atmosphere. In order to move about in Pandora, human scientists built human-Na’vi bodies called avatars, which are controlled by matched human. Jake Sully a former marine, arrives on Pandora to replace his murdered twin brother, an avatar operator. Dr. Grace Augustine, the head of the Avatar Program.

While Jake is escorting Grace and biologist Norm in their avatar forms, the group is attacked by a large predator, and Jake becomes separated and lost. Attempting to survive the night in Pandora’s jungles, he is rescued by Neytiri, a female Na'vi. Neytiri brings Jake back to Hometree, which is inhabited by Neytiri’s clan, the Omaticaya. Mo'at, the Na'vi clan holder and Neytiri's mother, instructs her to teach him their ways.

Colonel Miles Quaritch, the leader of the security forces, learns of Jake’s relationship with the Omaticaya, and offers him the chance to walk again in exchange for providing intelligence about the natives and learning what it will take to make them abandon Hometree, which rests above a large deposit of unobtanium.

During the next three months, Jake becomes close to Neytiri and the Omaticaya, and begins to prefer the life he lives through the avatar. when he is finally initiated into the tribe, he and Neytiri choose each other as mates. Jake's change of loyalty is revealed when he disables a bulldozer as it destroys the Tree of Voices.

Grace, protests at the destruction of Hometree, but Selfridge persists, allowing Jake only one hour to convince the Na’vi to leave. Quaritch’s forces arrive. When he reveals the true nature of his mission to the Omaticaya, Neytiri accuses him of betraying them.

Jake’s time runs out and Quaritch’s forces destroy Hometree. Eytucan, Neytiri's father and clan chief, and many others are killed in the attack. Jake and Grace are once again disconnected from their avatars. Trudy Chacon, a security force pilot who is disgusted by the violence, breaks them out but Grace is wounded by the Quaritch during their escape. With Grace in a critical state, Jake turns to the Omaticaya for help. Searching for a way to regain their trust, he remember that Neytiri told him that only five Na'vi had ever tamed the Toruk, a powerful flying beast. Successfully taming it, he flies to the Na’vi, who have gathered at the sacred Tree of Souls. He pleads with Mo'at to heal Grace, who is now dying. They attempt to transplant her soul into her avatar but failed.

With the assistance of Neytiri and Tsu'Tey, the new leader of the Omaticaya,, and assembles thousands of Na'vi from other clans. Jake prays to Eywa to help on behalf of the Na'vi in the coming battle. Quaritch, seeing the Na'vi's growing strength, orders a strike on the Tree of Souls, as it is the center of Na'vi religion and culture. its destruction would leave the Na'vi too demoralized to continue resisting the humans.

As the humans move against the sacred site, the Na’vi fight back fiercely, but human technology and firepower outweigh their bravery; they suffer heavy casualties, among them Tsu'Tey and Trudy. When all hope seems lost, the Pandora wildlife suddenly attack the humans in great numbers, overwhelming them in the air and on the ground. Neytiri interprets this as Eywa answering Jake's prayer.

Quaritch orders the bombing of the Tree of Souls but Jake destroys the bomber before it can reach its target. Quaritch escapes in an Amplified Mobility Platform suit. He finds the avatar interface pod, where Jake’s human body is located, and attacks it, damaging it and exposing Jake to Pandora's atmosphere. Neytiri kills Quaritch and saves Jake, seeing his human form for the first time. With the human attack successfully repelled, they reaffirm their love for each other.

The defeated humans are expelled from Pandora, while Jake and his friends remain. Jake is seen wearing the necklace of the Omaticaya clan leader, suggesting that he has become the new leader after the death of Tsu'Tey. The film ends with Jake's soul being successfully transplanted into his Na'vi avatar.

what a way to celebrate Christmas!!! i know it is way too late.... but still.... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!

on 22nd november, my family and i went to sentosa for family day. i have been to sentosa thousands of times but we only have family day once in a year. so i had to bear the boredness in me.

when we reached there, we were supposed to collect goodies bags. ( i am too old for that!!!). there were also lots of game booths but you could not play without game passes! luckily, mummy's colleagues gave her extras so that i could play till i drop.

mummy had everything planned nicely for me. while i would go to every game booth with ah ma, ah gong would look after the valubles and enjoy the performances. meanwhile, mummy were playing beach volleyball. she was part of the mixed team for her department. and bravo.... she won the gold!!!!

besides all the games and performaces, we also had great food.

Crazy BBQ Session Part 2 begins now....

the second BBQ was held at East Coast Park and organised by Ah Biao Uncle and his family. He invited Biao Yi Zhang, Ah yi, Zoom Zoom Uncle, Dong Dong Uncle, Zoe Jie Jie, Weilong Uncle, Weilong Uncle's wife, mummy and myself. as we reached there earlier than the rest, i was thinking of going to the beach to pick some seashells. but mummy said that the sea is too "dangerous".

so we just sat around and ate potato chips to kill time. Zoom Zoom Uncle and Dong Dong Uncle suggested to start the fire first. but there are 2 problems.

1. no charcoal

2. no lighter

do you think we can start the fire? obviously, NO! furthermore, biao yi zhang and ah biao uncle are always late. so we waited and waited..... and finally biao yi zhang came. shortly after, ah biao uncle and his family arrived too. We finally had all the things needed and started with the BBQ!! there were homemade curry chicken which was fabulous and very popular. there were sausages, bacon strips, sweet corns and many more.

the whole night was about eating and playing with carey and celia. most importantly i enjoyed the food!! Slurppppp..............

2009-11-22T16:10:00.000+08:00

mummy and i went to 2 BBQs during the weekends weeks ago. it was a little crazy to eat BBQ food for two days, right? most importantly, it was unhealthy but i liked it.

let's get into the details about the first BBQ. this BBQ session was to celebrate Maddy's birthday. we celebrated it at Zac's new house. mummy helped to start the fire while i put up the "happy birthday" banner. meanwhile Huiling and Zac took the food out.

after all the "chores", i returned to watch mummy's attempt on starting the fire . Oops! i forgot to mention that people were starting to arrive. when chewy came , she helped mummy with the fire. together they succeeded.

after a while, i felt like going to the washroom. Zac and Low were also going up to take the prawns. hence, i followed them up . surprisingly, Peili and Sharon were mixing the prawns with sea salt already! whoa, they were surely very early...

according to my calculations, there were more than ten people at the BBQ. there were lots of seafood stuff. but all the people were eyeing on the "golden" chicken wings. they looked great!!

while all the adults were still eating, i "sneaked" off to the playground with Monster's niece, en en. although i am too old to play at the playground but i still enjoyed it.

finally, my favourite part, Peili, Huiling and i went up to get the birthday cake. i was
"ordered" to hold the cake. as i walked towards Maddy's, she did not seem to notice because she was back facing me. when everyone got the signal, they started to sing. Maddy turned around and saw the cake. she made her wish and blew the candles. everyone got a piece of the birthday cake. yummy!!

all i can say is " mission accomplished. case closed."

TO BE CONTINUED.....

P.S. : Low - that chocolate stick was worth it!!!

2009-08-23T16:22:00.013+08:00

happy 44th birthday, singapore!!! since it was a special day, we went to celebrate at marina bay. we had 2 tickets to the NDP.... yeah!!! this was my first time to the NDP so before the actual day.... i actually went to the internet to find out more about the NDP! so EXCITED!!!!

when we arrived near the entrance, i saw lots of policemen carrying guns and there were huge army tanks parking along the roads! so i asked mummy... "they are not going to shoot us when we get in right?". mummy said i was talking nonsense. i was just curious...

after going through all the security checks, we collected our goodie bags. both of us got our favourite colours, i got orange and mummy got blue! by the way, i thought the goodie bags would be something like those which i usually receive on my friends' birthdays. hee hee hee..... the goodie bags looked great and contained lots of interesting items. most importantly, there were healthy food like soya bean milk... biscuits... and more.

after squeezing through the crowd.... perspiring like mad climbing up the steps..... we finally got seated at the orange area - my favourite colour again!! ok.... there were 10 chapters for the NDP but i am not going to tell all the chapters in details. there were marching which i was not really interested in.... those airplanes with no stunts were not very captivating..... all the standing ups and singing-alongs were tiring.... the performances and dances were just alright.... the fireworks were the BEST OF ALL!

enough said.... let me show you some pictures so that you can get a better idea of that wonderful evening.

security check!

yesterday was ah gong's birthday. mummy and i were responsible for buying a cake. in the end we chose a vanilla strawberry cake at polar.

when we reached home, we secretly put the cake into the fridge. so everytime ah gong wanted to open the fridge, i volunteered to help him to whatever he needed. phew! so tiring!! once ah ma finished her work, we kept thinking what and where to have for dinner. finally, we decided on ichiban sushi.

we dressed ourselves nicely and all ready to leave for dinner.

once we reached ichiban, we quickly queued up as there were lots of people. about 30 minutes later, we FINALLY got a table. as the food was served one by one, i said to mummy....."think we ordered too much!". there were chawamushi, cha soba, raw salmon and many more. in the end, we managed to finish everything as there was one "old" insectisauraurs in front of me.

guess what? we spent $98.65 altogether.

after we got home, i waited and waited, then i really could not hold it anymore. i ran to the fridge and took the cake out. we sang and cut the cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH GONG!!!!!!

2009-07-15T21:46:00.009+08:00

today, mummy cooked a marvellous dinner for the family... keke...

we placed all the ingredients that we bought on the table. there were golden mushrooms, chicken breast, cucumbers, tomatoes, bacons, ham, eggs and fish.

i always like to watch mummy cook, so i stood there like a statue and only my eyes were watching how mummy handled the ingredients..... poured the oyster sauce............... so fast that i could not follow!!

about 30 minutes later, my legs were very tired. i went to the living room to rest for a short while although i wanted to continue watching mummy cook. suddenly, i smelt the aroma of the food. dinner was almost ready!!! ah ma and i helped to serve the food.

finally, we sat down and started eating our food. both ah ma and ah gong said that the food was very nice. i agreed too. as mummy cooks occasionally, we surely enjoy the simple dishes she prepared. thank you for this wonderful dinner mummy!

cucumber with ham and bacon

golden mushroom with sliced chicken

someone very eager to eat the fish!!!

ta-da!!!! the dinner!!!!

2009-07-07T20:30:00.000+08:00

last sunday, we went on a picnic trip at the marina barrage. it was a reward for my science project. i earned it with much effort. phew!!! the ramp is shaped like a bird nest, at the end was an open field where people fly their kites. however, it was not a good day for picnic as it was a rainy day.

we prepared some food for the outing. there were sandwiches (ham and cheese, tuna) and a fruit platter which consists grapes, red apples, green apples, oranges and cherry tomatoes. we also had 2 pound cakes and my favourite, the cheese sausages!

as we finished setting our mats and food, it started to rain. hence, we decided to set our base under the ramp. once we settled down, we started wolfing down our food, especially that "insectisaurus"!

after our food,the rain seemed to stop but the sky was still dark. we decided to try our luck with our kites. while on our way up to the roof top garden, it started to rain again! we were all very disappointed. we had no choice but to return to our base with the longest faces in the world! woo hoo! i bet it was a world record of longest faces!!! we continued eating our remaining food.

about an hour later, the rain stopped. this time, we were sure that it was not going to rain again as the wind was blowing the dark clouds to another side which was very far from where we were. i was the first to run up to the open field while the rest were nowhere in sight. i am so excited!!! we managed to put our kites into the sky. yeah!! it was my first time pulling the string of a kite.

jus when we were enjoying ourselves, the roar of the thunder could be heard and lighting flashed across the sky. we quickly pack our things as fast as we could and scrambled off. this time i really blew my top. it rained AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the whole day was all about eating and 15 minutes of fun?!

my thoughts for the day: we went UP.... DOWN..... UP..... DOWN..... UP..... DOWN.... OMG!!! 3 times! what a day??!!

when we gathered under the ramp once again, i was wet and tired. i was shivering as the rain was freezing cold. we decided to go for dinner. steamboat for me! my dream came true.

i ate quite alot as i was exhausted by the running up and down for THREE times. it felt great to have something steamy hot after a wet and cold day. although things did not turn out as i wanted, i was quite happy with the steamboat part. FULL!!!! PLEASED!! haha..

2009-06-13T15:01:00.003+08:00

last sunday, i went to the science centre. but we cannnot start our trip without breakfast! i had ham and cheese omelette.

we watched the show "sea monsters" at the omni-threate. half way through the movie, i felt giddy and had to close my eyes for a while.

after the show, we went on to explore the science centre. all the experiments were cool and amazing!

all the walking makes me tired and hungry. so we decided to grab a bite. i wolf down my hotdog. mummy told me to slow down but i was too hungry to listen to her. after the short break, i continued the trip with a smile on my face.

althought i went to the science centre alot of times but this was the best on ever!

2009-05-21T14:09:00.008+08:00

i went to the library last week and borrowed a book about robin hood. when mummy showed me the book, i was shocked. the book was so thick! but when i read the first chapter, i discovered that this book is very nice so i decided to borrow it. i borrowed another three books too.

when i got home, i started reading the book. i was amazed! the illustrations looked very real. i finished reading about three days ago. i wanted to share the story with you.

in the story, robin was a helpful guy. he hunt for animals to eat with his merry men. once his went into the forest by himself and found a knight dressed in flithy clothes. he ask the knight what happened. the knight said that he had owed the people four hundred pounds and had no food for days. at that time robin had no money. he took pity of the knight and went around asking people for money to clear the knight's debt. along his journey, he went around helping people. once, he saw a girl in the town and he asked her for her name. she answered him:'marian' (but robin hood calls her marry). during autumn, robin and marry was nominated as the May king and queen. May kings and queens were supposed to control the forest during may.

when autumn passed, the the worst of the worst evil villian became the winter king. (in winter there is no such thing as winter queen) he creates spell and magical potions, he hurts innocent villagers, locked people in cages and he hated kindness. one day he found out that robin and his merry men was helping the villagers to escape and killed lots of his soldiers. he was so angry that he even killed his own wife. (it was super disgusting because the page shows the wife bleeding and the head cut off. ewww.....) he thought of a plan. he is going to disguise as a old lady. the 'old lady' found robin in the forest and asked that robin to do 'her' a favour (at that time the merry men was looking for robin).

as robin was a kind guy, he agreed. the 'old lady' led him into a cave filled with bats. 'she' wanted robin to lie down on the wooden table. once robin lie on the wooden table there were cuffs that locked his hands and legs. he could not do anything but just closed his eyes. the evil villian took off his disguise. robin was shocked. the villian was just about to kill robin when the merry men found robin. little john (one of the merry men) saw and rushed forward and sacrificed himself for robin. the other merry men gathered around the villian and killed him. when the merry men freed robin, it was too late. little john lost too much blood and died. robin sadly went out of the cave as little john was the best archer in the gang and he was robin closest friend.

THE END!

ok. this is what i think. everyone is kind at heart. no matter how much you hate kindness, it will still remain somewhere in your heart. kindness is the purpose of life.

last night i went to watch "17 again" at AMK hub. i was so excited because we got the front seats. we bought a big popcorn and two drinks. after that, we quickly went to find our seats because we were late.

about one minute later, the show started. zac efron was known as mike o'donnell in the show. he had a girlfriend when he was 17 and the girl's name was scarlet. before the basketball match started, scarlet wanted to break up with mike as she knew that basketball was mike's future. when the game started, mike's teammates passed the ball to him but he chased after scarlet when he saw her leaving.

many years passed, there were problems between scarlet and mike. scarlet was blaming mike for not taking responsibilities for the kids and did not keep to all his promises. mike was blaming scarlet for destroying his future all these years. hence, both of them decided to have a divorce.

mike was forced to move out and he stayed with his best friend who likes aliens, monsters and spaceships (similar to starwars).

then, he met a weird cleaner at his old school. so, on a stormy night, something strange happened and he went back to "17"again. he had a chance to start all over again but he chose the same path in the end.

mummy and i went to sentosa yesterday. we actually planned to go to the zoo but i changed my mind. i felt like visiting the underwater world. we had our breakfast before we took MRT to habourfront.

firstly, mummy went to get the tickets at vivo city. we had to take the "sentosa express" train to get to sentosa. it took us about 5 minutes before we alighted at the "beach station" and took a map just in case we might get lost.

we started with the skyride which works like cable car. but the skyride has only a wooden bench. the whole ride was so scary because i was very afraid of height and that my things would drop off. when we reached the top, we had another ride called "Luge". it will bring us down the curvy slope. it was super exciting that i rode on it twice!!

next, we took the beach tram to the underwater world. i was very amazed to see all the different sea creatures. after that, we had a rest and our lunch.

then, mummy suggested a trip to the "images of singapore". we saw how singapore was discovered. there are stories and things to tell us more about our country.

it was a tiring but interesting outing for me!

first ride of the day

excited!!

ready? go!

feeling abit nervous now

yesterday, i attended the pupils' leader camp ONCE AGAIN!!

we started with cleaning the classrooms. it was very very tiring! then, we had fried bee hoon for breakfast.

next, we played games which worked on TEAMWORK. the games were quite fun and enjoyable.

we had nasi lemak for lunch. all of us were so hungry that we ate very fast.

after lunch, we had our own "Amazing Race". it was my favourite game of the camp. all of us were supposed to go around the school and find different letters.

we had delicious curry puffs for snack after the tiring "run and search" game.

finally, we ended the day with a group work which we decorated papers.

oh ya! i forgot to introduce my instructors for the camp. they were samuel and cindy from SAJC. it was surely a great experience for me again.

2009-03-15T17:01:00.002+08:00

hey... writing my blog once again!!! this time, it is about getting a prefect tie in school.

jus before i was about to go on stage to receive the tie, my heart was beating very fast. but i still managed to step onto the stage to receive the the tie and bowed to everyone. after the P3s to P6s had received their ties, we lined up in a group and recited the prefect's pledge.

after the ceremony, we returned to our respective classes. i was so thrilled to recieved a tie!!!!!!!

last friday, mummy brought me on a road trip to malaysia - Genting.

when we got there, i was so excited that i pulled mummy to the Theme Park. the last time i was here, the Park was closed and i was too small to take some of the rides. but this time, i took lots of rides like roller coasters, bumper car and merry-go-round and lots more! i felt nervous when i sat on the roller coaster. when it started, i regretted for taking the roller coaster but honestly it was fun. we took the ride for 6 times! after all the fun, i felt hungry and we ate Marybrown. it is quite similar to KFC. then we went to the arcade and shopping before we went for dinner at the "mushroom farm". the farm was not near the hotel so we drove there. the weather was so cold and i was glad that we had a nice n "hot" dinner!

the next day was a bad day for me. i felt sick. i had a fever, running nose and cough. but i still need to pack my bag as it was time to go home. we stopped for lunch halfway, we ate vegetables, pork and tofu. and most importantly DURIANS!!!!!!! shhhh!!! don't tell anyone. then we continued our trip back to singapore. we even stopped to have mummy's favourite A&W waffle!!

i love this trip!!!!

i want to write about my birthday. mummy n her friends threw a BBQ party for me. before that, mummy prepared alot of food and i helped her too. there were bacon with asparagus, corns, chicken wings, mushrooms, prawns and many more.

when we reached mae's place, we changed into our swimsuits and started swimming first. the water was very cold. at around 7pm, we began to start fire so that we could cook our food. the food was very nice!!

when we were about to cut the cake, i felt like someone was missing from the crowd. suddenly, i turned around and saw mummy riding a bicycle with a huge balloon and a windmill. i was shocked and paused for a few seconds. then i said to mummy, "你有病啊!". All our friends were laughing so loudly after they heard what i said. but mummy really looked funny on the small bicycle!

actually, i was very happy because i really hope for a new bicycle. i can go cycling more often now! i got many presents from the rest too. the party ended with a water-guns war.

it was so fun! i want to thank mummy and her friends for such a wonderful party. i was only sad about one thing that night. i was waiting for an important person to turn up but she did not.

getting started

i wonder why the food take so long to cook?

the yummy food

the prawns

one of my hermit crabs, crappy, died today. i just moved them to a bigger "home" after my birthday. i don't like losing things because I don't feel good. i always feel sad.

2008-12-23T17:51:00.005+08:00

today, mummy bought me 2 hermit crabs. they are my christmas present. i am very happy. the hermit crabs are sooooo cute. i named them crabby and crappy. the tiny one is crabby and the bigger one is crappy.

as i am afraid that it would bite me, i wore my winter gloves when i want to hold them. but when mummy pick them up, i saw that they didn't bite mummy. so i convinced myself that they are harmless. mummy also bought a coconut tree and 2 extra shells for them. i heard that they will start to change the shells when they grow older. it is like changing houses. this christmas present is so cool!!

i like the crabs so much that i keep looking at them. but i am not the only one, my milo is also very curious about them!!

2008-12-20T21:59:00.001+08:00

yesterday, i went to watch "BOLT". it was a super great show! it was one of the best movies i had watched.

the movie was about a dog named "BOLT" which believed that he had super powers. he thought that the "green-eyed man" had really captured hos owner, "Penny". however, he was just a star in hollywood movies and his super powers was not real. when he got lost, he made friends with "Mittens" the cat and "Rhino" the hamster. after that, the three of them travelled across the whole country looking for "Penny".

i wish my milo will become an amazing dog just like "BOLT" one day. hee hee.....

2008-12-13T15:21:00.002+08:00

yesterday, i went to attend a science class. we learned how to balance two forks with a fifty cent coin on a cup, how to make a egg drop into the glass bottle without cracking the egg. we also learned to poke through the balloon without using tape or other things and not bursting the ballon at the same time. i made friends too. their names are Sangeetha and Linus. we had lots of fun during break time. they were great friends!

2008-12-06T13:37:00.004+08:00

one day, mummy's cousin passed me something. i did not know what is it, then i opened the envelope. guess what? it was my pictures. i forgot when it was taken, maybe it was when i was 4 or 5 years old? i was shocked when i saw the pictures.

let me share with you the photos but promise not to laugh!

2008-11-25T10:12:00.005+08:00

this was the first time i went to orchard road to look at the christmas lightings. it

yes.... i watched madagascar 2 at lido last sunday. i think the show was very funny and i was laughing very loudly in the cinema. my favourite character is 'baby alex' while mummy likes 'skipper' (the leader of the penguins).

2008-11-13T23:31:00.000+08:00

today is the last day of school. all my friends felt excited about it but i don't. i felt sad because i will not get to see my friends for a long time. i also have a weird feeling. i usually feel happy when holidays start but i don't now. funny right? i jus want to say farewell to my P6 buddies and most importantly to all my good friends too!

mummy brought me cycling in the afternoon. it was drizzling abit when we went out. i was quite worried that i forgot how to cycle because it had been so long since i last rode on my bicycle. to my pretty yi jie jie, i did not forget!! we cycled around the estate and passed by the new sports complex where we got ourselves ice-creams. after that, we rested and ate our ice-creams on a bridge.

then it was time to go back because mummy got to rush for her friendly game at NTU. i wanted to follow but mummy disallowed. the reason is mummy has a teammate who had just recovered from HFM disease. i heard it is very deadly for children! So i will be good and stay at home.

2008-11-11T17:33:00.000+08:00

mummy, grandma and me went to the zoo last sunday as it was PUB's family day. it was a wet day. we went out quite early because we want to eat breakfast first. when we reached the zoo, it was very crowded already. we had to squeezed through the crowd to get the goodie bags.

we went through the entrance and started our tour. we saw many animals such as zebras, giraffes and rhinos. I had a chance to ride on a pony at the kidzworld. it was a wonderful experience!

after that, we went to collect our food, ice creams and popcorns before going home. it was a short tour because mummy got to rush for her game and i had seen most of the animals in my previous trip already.

i felt abit upset as the outing was quite different from last family day outings i had. i wish it was just a nightmare.

2008-11-05T22:27:00.001+08:00

last night, mummy brought me to J8 to watch a movie - "High School Musical 3".

i was very excited about the show but mummy was not. i think she don't like this kind of movie. but after the show, mummy told me that she actually like the show. i was shocked. we were talking all about high school musical on the way home. we talked about the different characters, the stories and the songs. anyway, i won't tell much about the movie as i want you to find out on your own. i think the movie is very romantic and nice.

my favourite character is ryan and mummy's favourite is gabriella. Hee hee...

i am looking forward to the next movie which mummy promised to watch with me - "BOLT".

A trip to ACM

2008-11-01T23:46:00.006+08:00

today, i went for part 2 of my museum tour. i had a trip to ACM. it stands for Asian Civilisations Museum. i was shocked at the size of the building again. it is as big as the NMS. i felt excited when mummy was getting the tickets. i wondered what are the things that i would get to see. but, this time i was quite sad because there is no 'remote control' to guide us along.

i will share some photos here because i have nothing much to write about this trip. i felt that ACM is not as interesting as NMS. i hope the next museum will be better!

A trip to the NMS

2008-10-27T22:32:00.003+08:00

last saturday, i went to the NMS (it stands for National Museum of Singapore). i had travelled past it so many times but it was the first time i actually stepped into the museum. it is enormous!

as we got in, i could feel the powerful air-con blowing. the whole place is so cold! we were quite lost in the museum and we don't know where to start. after getting the help from the staff, mummy bought the tickets. we began with the singapore history gallery. we were supposed to scan our tickets to get in through the gantry. as we walked through, a staff passed us a device that looked like a big remote control with a headphone. we were told to put it on as it will guide us through the whole tour. we had to key in the numbers that appeared on the floor and it will explain everything to us. i think it is very cool! the singapore history gallery tells all about singapore's history. we saw the singapore stone, picture of sir stamford raffles and his wife, and many more.

after that, we went to the singapore living galleries. at the food section, i learnt about the different food in singapore. i saw how satay, nasi lemak, laksa and chicken rice came about. at the film and wayang section, i saw how movies were made in the olden days and the different costumes that the wayang people used to wear. at the photography section, i saw a lot of old pictures and cameras. they were so different. now, we have photos with colours and our cameras are so small.

i had learnt so much from this trip. i would encourage you to visit if you have a chance. it is such a wonderful experience. anyway, i will try to put up some of the pictures that i had taken at the museum soon.

2008-10-05T11:45:00.003+08:00

yesterday, mummy brought me to singapore science centre. the place is so far tat i almost fell asleep on the way. i got a shock when i reached there because the place is so big!

i tried to run in as fast as i could but mummy stopped me. i just realised that we have not had our lunch so we had macdonald's. after eating, we took some pictures with the dinosaur at the entrance. then, mummy went to get the tickets.

when i got in, i was like in a wonderland. the place is big n colourful. there are so many amazing exhibits and things to play around with. there are things about magnetism, water and many other science things. there is also a dino-world which shows about dinosaurs. it is very scary!

we also watched a movie. the title is "wild ocean". it talked about the life in the ocean. i saw dolphins, sharks, seals and tunas. the screen is different from the one at the cinema. it is round n huge. when the show started, i feel like i want to puke but i did not.

it was a wonderful day for me because i had learnt a lot from the science centre. i am looking for more outings next time! i will put up my lovely pictures soon.

2008-10-01T23:14:00.002+08:00

last night, mummy brought me for prawning. it was a bad night because it rained heavily after a while. but we continued to prawn in the rain and we only caught very few prawns.

today is children's day but i was not very excited. i woke up at 7am so that i can go training with mummy. we bought carrot cake and milo for breakfast on the way. when we reached there, i was shocked as it was the biggest field I ever seen! mummy went and changed into her jersey while i put my bag on the bench. then, we ate our breakfast at the bench. the training was boring but i learnt more new moves.

after the training, we went to swim at the pool next to the field. i played the slide and tried to swim to one end of the teaching pool. the slide is very exciting n the water is not very deep at the teaching pool. xiao xian taught me some new moves. i think she is a great teacher.

after that, fern, sun jie, li jing, xiao xian, mummy and me went to J8 to buy some ingredients to cook dinner at xiao xian's house. everyone must prepare a dish. we bought a lot things and they cost $77 in total.

while mummy and her friends were cooking in the kitchen, i played wii. i played the usual games but I tried a new game this time. it is some kind of operation game. it is very disgusting but i continued to play. am I weird?

when dinner is ready, i could lift up my nose and smell the smell the prawns. we had steamboat. one spicy soup and one normal soup. li jing also cooked "coke" chicken wings. it is something i never hear of. but dinner was very delicious.

after dinner, all of us played wii. we had alot of fun laughing at each other. i partnered mummy for a tennis game and we won! i was so happy. i think mummy is good. Because when i partnered li jing, we lost.

mummy said we must go home early today beacause i have school tommorrow. I enjoyed so much that I don't feel like going home. but i must be a good girl and listen to mummy. she sure will bring me there again.

2008-09-27T23:53:00.003+08:00

today, after sending the car to the workshop, i went to Ang Mo Kio Central to have breakfast with mummy. we shared a bowl of duck porridge, bread n eggs together.

after that, mummy bought a new phone for me. it is black in colour and a little white along the sides. the phone cost $69.90. i really like the phone. we went home happily after we had bought the phone.

about 1.30pm, we went out again. i followed mummy to her soccer training. when the training started, i walked around the field but i found a ‘job’ to do. it was to help them pick the balls.

after mummy showered, we collected the car and went to ubi to do “something”. next, we went for dinner before going to xiao xian’s house to play her Wii.

the first game i played was tennis. i selected 2 players and played with my 2 hands. at times, i get very confused with which hand is for which player!

the second game i played was some kind of guitar game. it was fun but very confusing too. but i enjoyed this game most.

the third game was a hoola hoop game. i turned the hoops 284 times and broke the record of 249 times. and now my waist is very painful.

by the time i finished playing, it is time for me to go home. i really had fun today!

2008-09-16T22:44:00.000+08:00

i went to NUS with mummy today. this is the first time i have seen such a big school! the classroom has a lot of seats and a very big screen.

the teacher was shocked to see me. but after that, he smiled and welcomed me in his class. mummy’s classmates are all very nice too.

i sat beside mummy. when the teacher started talking, different pictures showed on the screen. and most importantly, i don’t even understand what he was talking about! but i found that the teacher is quite funny because he kept making fun of me. by the way, the class is all about buildings.

i think NUS is a nice school and i am looking forward to my next visit to NUS.

2008-09-07T22:53:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I went to j8 to watch “wall.e”. It was quite funny and sad at the same time. The show is about a robot called “wall.e”. His job was to clean up the earth. One day, a white robot called “eva”, came to earth to search for plants and take them back to space. Then, she fall in love with wall.e. I enjoyed the movie a lot but it feel so different without yi jie jie because we always go for movie together. The last one that we watched together was Kungfu Panda.

Today, me and mummy supposed to go cycling with yi jie jie. I was very disappointed when mummy told me the outing is cancelled. But I was so excited when I know I will still get to meet yi jie jie and I was going to her house.We played PSP together and then we went to tampines mall to eat Macdonald’s. After that, yi jie jie said that she will buy me a present. I said I wanted a soft toy so she bought a teddy dog and I decided to name it “Brownie”. Then, I went back to yi jie jie’s house and started to play with the computer.

I was so sad when it was time for me to go home. I had a wonderful time with her. I really wish my pretty yi jie jie will come home soon.

cycling adventure

2008-08-03T20:39:00.005+08:00

i went cycling with mummy and ruyi today. we cycled along Sengkang West Road. i learnt that we have to dismount from our bicycles when we crossed the road. along the way, i saw leaves on the floor and there were people jogging. i cycled over the leaves and dodged the joggers. the feeling was good.

along the way i heard a sound and it sounded like a rattlesnake and i think i saw a white thing which was about the size of a snake's egg. so i was afraid that the rattlesnake will jumped out and eat me so i cycled abit faster. i kept thinking about the egg thing and then i asked myself could it be a egg or something else.... i decided to stop thinking about the egg.

ok... let go back to the cycling trip... a few moment later, we came across a river and we saw people fishing. we stopped and watched the people fished. after a while we continued to cycle home. and mummy went to a small store to buy a bottle of coke before we took the life home.
when we came out from the lift, i shouted" i want to take pictures!" mummy replied" Shhh!!! i will get the camera, you wait here for yi jie jie." we placed our bikes nicely and i told my grandmother to help us take a photo.

i also learnt two other things today, i learnt how to go on a curb and brake properly. i really (x 100 times) enjoyed this adventurous trip today!!! i hope we can go on a longer trip next time.

Mummy's Birthday!

2008-07-30T10:21:00.002+08:00

It was mummy’s birthday yesterday. We celebrated her birthday by buying her lots of presents - a bike, bike accessories and a balloon from ruyi and friends and a card and teddy bear from me.

Before we could give her the presents, ruyi suggested a wonderful surprise for mummy. We all agreed.

The plan was to mount the bike on a rack at the back of the car and tie the bear to the seat while mummy was at the stadium. And when mummy came near to the car and we would surprise her.

So it started when mummy went for her haircut at J8. We told her we were going to the library to borrow books but instead of going to the library we sneaked off to buy mummy’s birthday presents.

After buying the presents, we walked towards the car park but unfortunately we saw mummy coming down the escalator, so we ran as fast as our legs could carry us. In the end we managed to escape unnoticed.

We went to Zac’s house to collect mummy’s and my bike. At the void deck Zac and Sharon took a long time to figure out how to mount the bikes to the back of the car. It was really complicated. When we were in the car, ruyi was driving so fast that zac was afraid the bikes would fall off the rack.

We went to Queenstown stadium to watch mummy play soccer. Mummy was playing against Canada. When we reached there the score was 4-0. While watching the game, we ate potato chips and dried guava.

When the game ended, the score is 8-0. Then mummy went to bathe. We all waited for her outside the toilet. It was time to go and eat so mummy walked towards the car park. And when she reached the car we jumped out and shouted “Happy Birthday”. Mummy was surprised. Then we took some pictures together and we jumped in the car to go to a coffee shop at Alexandra Village for dinner.

After eating, wei min took out the cake and we sang the birthday song for mummy. The cake tastes nice and there are some oreo biscuits on the cake. I enjoyed myself that day and I think mummy also enjoyed herself. And most importantly she wants to thank everybody for the pleasant surprise.

sunflowers and ballon which were carried by me from J8 to stadium

my best day ever!!!!

2008-06-22T18:19:00.006+08:00

yesterday, i went to bishan park in the afternoon. i went there with zac, angela, zac's nephew and niece, winnie, wei min, susan, ziai, mummy and ruyi.

first, zac introduce zac's nephew and niece to me. then, we went to rent a bicycle which was blue in colour and ruyi rented a green bicycle too.

so we started cycling around the park. while cycling, we saw some people playing softball. ruyi taught me how slow down when you go downslope and how to brake gently and not to jam your brakes. it is very fun as i can enjoy the wind blowing into my face.

we cycled 4 rounds and after every round i need to drink alot of water. after that we sat down and watched the children learning to rollerblate. i wish ruyi or zac will teach me how to skate one day....

after all the cycling we went back home to shower. after showering i went to eat with zac, angela, winnie, ziai, wei min, susan, mummy and ruyi. the place is called old town and it is at east coast park. i ate a bowl of ipoh hor fun mummy ate a bowl of prawn mee and ruyi ate a bowl of curry rice.

after we finished eating the noodles we went to bedok reservoir park. we took wei min's car as ruyi drove the car to attend a student's birthday party. when we were going to reach bedok reservoir park, something happened to wei min which i don't want to say.... and then we were 'thrown' out of the car. we took a taxi.

when we reached there, there were nothing going on and i forgot to tell you that we are supposed to go there to watch some kind of art show but we were late... then when everybody came, we told them that the show was over. so zac suggested that we go to the simpang bedok. suddenly, sharon came in her van and when she was reversing she nearly knocked zac down.

we took sharon's van to simpang bedok. when we reached there we saw many people. we waited about 1 minute for a table. the person gave us a menu each. and wei min came back. so we decided to eat rojak.

after eating, somebody said that it is still early. so we decided to go to katong to play pool. when we reached the place we saw many people playing pool. ruyi and myself found watching peole playing boring. then ruyi asked me if i would like to learn how to play pool. i say i want. then ruyi went to rent a table.

then wei min came and told me that how i was standing wrongly. so she told me how to stand in the correct way. finally, i knew how to break the balls and shoot the balls properly into the pockets. then wei min asked me whather i want to play a short game together. so i agreed. then we started play and then wei min accidentally shot the number 8 (black ball)into the pocket which is supposed to be put in the last. so i won the game.

and it is time to go home. i am really happy that i had a great day cycling and i learnt how to play pool. thank you wei min. and that is all for today.... good night.

Amazing facts about fungi

Have you seen something growing on your bread which has not been eaten for a very long time? I would say yes. What you observed growing on the bread is bread mould. Bread mould belongs to a group of living things called fungi.

Mushrooms are also a type of fungi. Fungi come in various sizes. Some of are large enough for you to see, like the mushrooms. Some fungi, like yeast, are too small to see with our naked eyes. You will need a help of a microscope to be able to see how they look like.

Fungi reproduce by producing spores. Spores are very tiny and light. They look like brown dust. In mould, spores are contained in spore cases. In mushrooms, spores are found in the gills under the cap.

Fungi grow in places where there is a lot of moisture. They can grow in toilets, in corners of some buildings and even on the bodies of some animals!

Fungi can be useful to people. Some of them are used to produce the food we eat, such as bread and cheese.

However, some fungi are harmful to people such as the poisonous fungi. There are also fungi that turn food bad when they grow on food. Eating food that has turned bad can make you sick!

Track and Field Day

2008-04-28T22:50:00.002+08:00

This post is very outdated because Ruyi took a long time to post it up. sigh...

I went to Yishun stadium 3 weeks ago to participate in my school 21st track and field meet. I took part in 80m dash and 4 times 100m relay.

I reached the stadium at 12.15pm.

I wore my orange house t-shirt and all ready to represent Cempaka. ( Which is my house’s name.)

I waited for my event by watching and cheering for my house.

Finally, it is my turn. My house teacher brought me down to the track to get ready to run. “Ready…. Get set…. Go!” before I ran, I jumped up because I was standing very near to the person who held the airhorn.

The result is here. I was ranked 8th. L

We continued cheering for our house.

During the break time, I drank milo as it gives me energy.

The teacher announced that 4 times 100m relay was going to start which is my turn! Me and my friends went down to the track to get ready to run. “Ready…. Get set…. Go!”

We were rank 2nd at the end of the race.

We continued to watch our friends race until 5.30pm which is time for us to go home.

I am happy that I won a medal for 4 times 100m relay.

And most of all mummy was very proud of me.

Perfects' Camp

2008-03-16T21:53:00.003+08:00

This post is a bit too late. But I will still tell you about the Prefects' Camp I went to on Monday...

I went to school on Monday even though it is school holiday. I attended the prefects’ camp because I am a prefect in school.

When I am in the car, I kept thinking how the camp will be. A few minutes later, I reached the school. I saw my friends waiting at the gate for me.

About 3 minutes later, the camp started. We assembled at the hall. I am in group 1 while my good friends are in other groups. So sad I have no friends to play with. But I have a very funny instructor, her name is Mabel. She is from Serangoon Junior College.

And now the most exciting time, 3-2-1, the camp started! One of the actives we did is the river crossing. It was our favourite game. It tells us how to co-operate together. And the second game we played was netball. I was the center and the rest of my friends are the goalkeeper, goal-shooter, wing-attack, wing-defence and goal-attack. The score was 0-0. The second game was a discussion on who is good at blocking and who is good at shooting and so on. We played again and I was still the center. The game ended with the score at 1-1. This game taught us what teamwork and the importance of discussion.

Ohs! It is time for a break! Finally we can rest! We ate bee hoon during our break. The bee hoon was quite nice and I liked it.

After our break, we played the “caterpillar balloon” game. We had to chant “left right left right” together so that we would not burst the balloon or drop the balloon.

After the “caterpillar” game, we played another game called “minesweeper”. We were not supposed to communicate with each other, only those who were bombed earlier can tell you where to go. This game taught us to trust each other.

The clock struck 12.30pm and it was time for our lunch. But this time I did not like my food because the rice was covered with lots of curry! I ate the rice and chicken but it is not chicken rice. Haha..

After our lunch, we went to 1A classroom to do group work. While waiting for Mabel to print the pictures we played musical chairs. Whoever lost will have to do the chicken dance. We all don’t dare to do the chicken dance because we were too shy to dance. Finally, Mabel came back and ask us what did we do we said we played musical chairs. She said she wanted to play too. We said who lose must do the chicken dance. She said she will do it if she lost. The game started.

Nanananananananaanannana. Oh… someone did not get a chair to sit. Guess who? Mabel!!!
Our funny instructor. Let’s welcome her to do the chicken dance! Chirp chirp chirp…..

We continued to do our group work after Mabel danced for us. We pasted pictures on a majong paper. We decorated with lots of markers. Oh my god! It is break time again! This time we had donuts.

We went back to our group work after the tea break. When we were done we gave our work to our teacher, Mr D____.

The camp came to an end and it was time to give out the certificates. Everybody received one. And it was 5.15 and time to go home.

I thought the camp ould be boring but it turned out to be an enjoyable! And it was all because of the funny instructor, Mabel!

I wish there is another prefects’ camp and I am sure I will attend it.

What I do in School

2008-03-14T15:27:00.000+08:00

This is what I do in school…

PE is one of my favourite subject. I like excising. What kind of sports or games do I like? Of course is track and field! I also like Floorball too. It is Ruyi’s favourite too. Too bad…. My school don’t take part in Floorball competition. We only train and play for fun.

It is recess time! Hmm… I am hungry. Haha… sometimes I will eat porridge or rice. I only have 30 minutes to finish my food. Sometimes if there is still time I will go to the library. I prefer non-fiction books to fiction book because it tells you more about the world and the things happening around us.

I also enjoy Science lessons. I like Science because it tells you more about the world. I learn about living things and non- living things and plants. Plants are very interesting. Let me ask you a question. How does a flower reproduce? The answer is; the bee will carry the pollen to another flower. A few days later…. Tada! There is a flower! So don’t ever kill the bees if we do so there won’t be anymore flowers. And another thing about plants is the shape of their leaves. Some leave patterns could be Entire edge, Toothed edge or even Lobed edge.

Maths is my favourite subject. I am weak at division but mummy encourages me to try harder. When Miss Lee is teaching division I will focus. I will try to do my best.

I like school because I like to learn about new things.

My Teacher

2008-03-13T12:40:00.002+08:00

My form teacher name is Miss Lee. She teaches my class English, Maths,Science,PE and health education. She is a friendly, smart and kind teacher.

During English lesson, she will give us instructions and then we go back to our seats to do our homework. If we have a composition to do she will go through with us on what to write. She will describe the pictures using adjectives and ad-verbs so as to make the compo more intesting. My writing will be better and interesting if I continue to pay attention in class and learn from her.

I like my teacher and I enjoy going to school.

I AM A PREFECT!

2008-03-12T00:21:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone nice to see you again! What I am going to say is I am a prefect in school!My teacher Miss Lee has chosen me to be a prefect. (I will tell you more about my teacher next time).

Every morning I will reach school at 6.55 am to look after the primary ones and twos. If they forgotten to bring their story book. I will tell them to stand up and read their textbook. I don’t just look after the primary ones and twos , I also help to take care of the upper primary. If I see then running, I will write down their name and tell Mr H_____. For your information: he is fiercest teacher in Peiying Primary School.And I am having a camp in school. It is during the holidays on the 10th of March. Initially, mommy didn’t allow me to go but I force her to let me go. Yeppy! The camp is from 7.00am to 5.15pm and only prefects can go. I can’t wait to start my camp.

Prefects’ duty seems very difficult but it is actually easy for me! And most of all I wish to be the head prefect! I want to be a prefect so that I can take care of the students in the school.

2008-02-24T22:19:00.003+08:00

Last Sunday, I went to the zoo with ruyi , duck and of course my lovely mummy. Duck said she had not been to the zoo for many years already.

We went through the main entrance and saw a photographer. He asked if we would like to take pictures. Then duck laughed quietly. After that we began our journey. The first animal that we saw was the biggest rat in the Singapore zoo.

After looking at the rat, the next station was the white tiger. I read the notice and itsaid that the biggest is called “ Omar”. The second biggest tiger is “jeepie” and lastly the smallest tiger name is “Winnie”. It said that Winnie is a very playful tiger. (it is about the same as me!)

Then we saw many other animals such as giraffes, zebras, polar bears, sealions and of cos the hippos. I stood near the glass panel and the hippo blew bubbles suddenly and gave me a scare!What a bad hippo!

We visited Ah Meng's burial ground. We took some pictures there too.

OK… after a whole day of walking made me feel tired. so we decided to catch a show. We watch a sealion swim and perform crazy stunts.

Finally, it was time to go home. We ate KFC before we left. It was a wonderful day having fun in the zoo.

I wish we can go to the bird park soon so that we can visit duck’s family and friends because she belongs to the bird family! Haha!

My Dog, Milo

2007-11-27T16:55:00.000+08:00

i have a Milo but it is not a drink. it is my favourite pet dog. i call him Milo because he is as brown as the drink, Milo.

He used to be very clever until he gets older. Chubby is very scared of Milo and Duck don’t quite like him too. Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of but Chubby always scream when she sees Milo. Chubby is such a ‘scaredy cat’.

Every day, my grandfather will feed Milo dog food twice. After eating, Milo will go to sleep. He is so LAZY!!!

the vet said Milo has a long life span. Milo will continue to be my buddy for a long long time. = )

milo kissing me
milo acting cool

after all the shopping, we went home happily to prepare dinner.

UPSET! = (

2007-11-22T00:02:00.000+08:00

yi jie jie came back from rp today feeling very upset. she told me but i don't really understand.

and she said a lot about respect. i only know respect is how i should treat mummy or people who are older than me. this means that i cannot anyhow shout at them or scold them.

but she told me a lot of other things. she said respect is also about treating people around you nicely. most importantly we must know how to respect ourselves. actually i don't quite understand what she is saying. then she said... go and check dictionary on the word- respect. i think is because she don't know how to explain to me.

i don't like people to bully my yi jie jie. because it makes me upset too. i want to be her bodyguard to protect her from all the evil people.

so please people... don't you try to BULLY MY YI JIE JIE!

yi jie jie's sad face

finally, she finished her speech. miss suzanah lined us up to collect our prize. i was very nervous because i don't have confident to go on stage. i waited anxiously for my name to be called. i walked up the stage upon hearing my name. mummy said i smiled from ear to ear when i went on stage. i recived a trophy and a $10 voucher.

i am extremely happy today! i was in class lying on the table not paying attention because Ms Suzanah was annoucing the class ranking for the final exams. i thought i had no chance to be on the name list until my teacher called out my name that i am ranked third in the class.

i could not believe what i heard. i ran to the teacher's table to ask her one more time to check whether i am really third in class. she said yes.

i went back to my seat feeling delighted. i can't wait to tell mummy about it.

and the prize presentation day is on this friday. and i feel very stressed and nervous now. at the same time, i also feel very excited. i can't wait to receive my trophy and voucher.

my first post

2007-11-11T01:19:00.000+08:00

thanks chubby & duck for setting this blog for me. i felt happy.

i went out with mummy & ruyi to ngee ann poly to watch mummy play soccer. the game was super boring. i ran around to entertain myself. i was playing with li jing. she kicked the ball into the field while i chased after the ball.

i ran into the field to pick up the ball. then, i slipped and fell. i was so unlucky because the field was muddy. my shorts was filled with mud. so i don't have shorts to wear, so ruyi lent her extra shorts to me.

i am glad that i have a shorts to change into. i will update again. dont miss me yo!!!
