holidays!

wednesday:
Yipee!friends FINALLY coming over.Jessica came first,followed by Iris.When they came,we made up our mind that we were going to do the project first,but that's what we always say.hehe.So,we went to my room,then we did a little of the project,read a few magazines together,then had the sudden urge to do nail polish.So,i took out my nail polish.Then remembered i had some instructions to do like pictures on the nails,COOL!So,we tried drawing pics on each others nails,FUN.Although the pictures didn't turn out so great,we still had tons of fun & that's what matters.After doing a little more of the project,we had lunch.But right after lunch we went right back to my room.i took out my make uo box,then we tried doing make up on eachother,we even used my mum's mascara,eye liner & eyelash curler.It was AWESOME,although,I think I plucked some eyelashes of Iris's eyes,cos it was my first time doing eyelash curler,so sorry iris!We managed to finish our project & have the "make friends prettier" experience......FUN.

what im thankful for.

im thankful for how hard my parents work.The hours they put in to check on how i am as my dad is in taiwan,so everyday he'll call us to check on us & see how we are doing.I am very thankful for the things I'm given,the oppurtunities,the privilleages,everything.I'm thankful for my mum,how much hard work she does to keep this family going,doing everything my brother & I need.I'm thankful for the way my parents brought me up,the qualities,teaching me the bad & good habbits,what to do & what not to do.I'm thankful for the education I'm given,to help me increase my knowledge,& the care given by my friends,teachers and most of all,family,when i need help,I get help.I'm thankful for everything. :)

NE show

First of all,going there was really fun,overall,i say it was a .......interesting experience.Going to school right after ballet & a lunch with my relatives,was a bit of a rush.But I got through it.
Waiting for the buses to arrive,I relaxed with my friends,we just walked around,waiting & waiting for a teacher to show up.
When we finally saw a teacher,we rushed back to the kidzone.We were asked to take our temperature & get our fun pack.& take our dinner(our cold,kfc,burger dinner,eww),so i brought my own dinner,nuggies!teeheehee!But sadly for my partner Jessica,her strap for her fun pack broke,cos her bag was too heavy(I wonder what junk was in there) & there were no more fun packs left ,poor Jessica....So,thank goodness for our chinese teacher ,who managed to tie a knot to make 2 ugly straps,into a knotted strap,which looked kinda fashionable.Then we headed towards the bus.ALL ABOARD THE BUS!My friends and I took up the entire back row of seats.Jessica(my partner) & I played tap tap (a game on my iphone),listened to music & welll,talked.When we reached there,we had to like,walka long journey to the stadium.The atmosphere felt like a desert,but we got through it by using a small electrical fan & an umbrella.When we finally got there,Iris & I kept saying "hi" to most army people we saw.Then we found our places at the stadium.After a while,Jessica & I got very bored.Then we saw a baloon person like making baloons for people.2 teachers sat infront of us,suddenly the baloon person gave 1 of the teachers a heart shaped baloon.she said it was from 1 of the students,which gave me an idea,to give a heart shaped baloon to MY fave teacher,Mrs Tay.Then when i gave it to her,we took pictures,it was fun!Then,i started taking pictures with everybody,cool!
Then.....the show began!First there were the parachute people.Kinda interesting,but a little boring.Then,there were some drumming people,like a marching band.which had colours of the differnet zones(the seats).There was even a little show which explained how sang nila utamah saw the lion.Then,there was like a fake crime scene thingy.there were like little speed boats on the river and stuff.Then it was kinda all dancing & music & like huge like puppet people of different races walking around.Then there were even some huge red balls that were rolled down to us,but i didnt get to touch it,boohoohoo!there were little fireworks.Just when it was about to finish,it rained!
When we all got to school,i could see everyone was soaking wet,drenched in rain water.When i saw my mum's car coming,i rushed into the car.Finding,my mum holding a nice hot cup of milk tea,waiting to be drunk by me.....yum...that was the day i will never forget.

First time on a plane myself...fun!

1st of June:

Bright & early in the morning,waking up with a big yawn,nervous thoughts fill my head.Yet I have a butterflies in my stomach feeling.....Will something go wrong?Or will it be a one in a lifetime experience?

Getting out of the car,I felt totally nervous.As I adjusted my backpack that lay on my shoulders,I entered the air port,a gust of cold wind blew in my face.I walked in confidently...My mum & I walked over to a business class check-in counter,I checked in as a UM(unaccompanied minor).A lady brought me in as I waved my goodbyes & blew air kisses to my mum.The lady brought me to the business class lounge.A different lady came up to me & said "would you like any drinks,food?or play the computer?".I said computer,then she brought me to a computer.Then had a final call with my dad from Taipei,then followed a different lady(you see how frustrating it is to be a UM,SO many different people)to the gate.I went through,went on the aeroplane & wow!If you saw it for yourself you would be ecstatic too!The business class seat.....big & comfy!Oh!& the cushions,2 of them.A lady came up to me,introducing herself,asking me if I would like a juice & what I wanted to eat later on....As soon as the seat belt sign was turned off,which meant we had taken off,I pressed a few buttons beside me,ended up with my footrest thingy to go up & the back of the seat to go into a diagonal line.I watched 3 and a half movies then we finally landed in my hometown,Melbourne.The air stewardess that introduced herself earlier,escorted me out of the plane,then an Australian lady escorted me to the luggage belt to collect my BRIGHT green luggage.Then we went to the pick-up point where my maternal uncle n grandparents picked me up.In Melbourne time was 3 hrs faster than Singapore time so it was kinda already night time there,around 8 plus ,I think.We went back to my grandparent's home,the house I missed so dearly as I was in Singapore,I lied on the carpet floor.Ready to look at Marcus's,I mean my uncle's video collection to choose a late night movie,boo yah!
a few days later......

4th June:

Wakey,wakey!Great breakfast!I had Maccers!(McDonalds).My uncle brought me rock climbing.....so uh-mazing!My uncle & I tried most of it....But gulped at the sight of this extremely big & tall rock climbing wall & when I say tall,I mean seriously tall!!!Just glimpsing at it made my legs shake in fear....

5th June:

Rise & shine!It's mini golf time!Uncle Marcus brought my grandma & I to Dingley village where the mini golf place is,we played outdoor mini golf.I chose a hot pink ball,Marcus chose a white ball,& grandma chose a dark green ball.Beginning started out a little boring.But at around the 8-10th hole,it started to get more interesting,there were little tunnels leading from 1 place to another we had to go upstairs then the tunnel led us downstairs.Some even had little sucker contraptions that sucked the ball up then you could see your own ball going down on a like mini roller coaster circling around your head.& at the end when you put your ball into the hole,a tunnel will bring the ball right to the basket where I first picked out the ball.

6th June:

Woke up early to pack my bag.......for a sleepover with my good friend Phoebe,I haven't seen her in ages!I couldn't wait to see & play with her again,she is a Singaporean,which was 1 of my first few friends when I came to Singapore.We played wii together with her 2 little brothers,Thaddeus & Caden.Then we had dinner,chicken rice,yum,yum!Then phoebe & I played pillow fight together!I won...hehehe,the next day Uncle Marcus picked me up then we went home....

7th June:

Getting ready for another play date,this time with my grandma's old friend & her daughter & son,her daughter,Nadia is a little older than me but we can still communicate with each other.& her son,Adam is the same age as my brother & the last time my brother came,Adam wanted to play with my brother everyday...Let me tell you,the feeling was mutual for my brother.We went rock climbing ...again,but it's fine cause I enjoy it,this time Nadia was like the belayer(dint know how to spell,the person that like carries the person that climbs.Adam & I climbed ,at points it was really hard...but we got through it by trying over & over & over again.After rock climbing for about 2 hrs,we went back to Nadia & Adam's home.Over there,we played wii sing it,but when I heard Adam singing,well,let's just say I thought it was his sister singing...

The following days were most likely shopping with my grandma,I LOVE the shops there,so fab! Although most of it were winter clothes as it was winter there.Some clothes.I forced my grandma to try on & she bought a few.....We shopped EVERYWHERE,myers,k-mart,best & less & last but not least target.Then it was packing time.......My grandma & I,well,mostly my grandma tried to stuff all the gifts & clothes into my luggage ,it was kind of funny to watch....Then I said ,my good byes as I flew back to Singapore...

world hunger

Although most of us get to eat as much as we want,spend money on stuff we don't need like toys,games & videos.Not many other people in other countries get to spend like us,in fact,some people don't even have enough money to buy food.
During 1 of my school assemblies,my form teacher showed us(my class) a video which shows what other countries children have to go through world hunger.Usually,if we can't finish our food,it just goes down the rubbish bin,but in the video it showed that a father took all the food that people couldn't finish from the trash bin & brought it to his village.Skinny children came running to him when he reached.Hands stretching out just to grab half-eaten drumsticks or scraps of food which is what we call trash.World hunger kills at least 1 child every few minutes.
We should be ecstatic that we have more privileges than many other people.

My FAVE place

Well,let me just say I can't say only 1 place,I have 3.


1.Australia,because it's my home town & my grandparents live there.Whenever I visit,I feel relaxed & without a fuss.Cause,there's no school there for me........yet.But,when I go back,my mum's put me in to go to PLC(Presbyterian ladies college).Quite big, sadly,all girls,still wears uniform,which means I can't wear my own clothes(sad).

2.The Gold Class Cinema in vivo,because I went there on the day I turned 11.There are big, cushiony, red seats that like can become flat,& in between 2 seats is a table where you can eat like dinner or lunch,it was relaxing & memorable.But,sadly,I do not have the chance to go there often....But,I"m going to get the chance again,cause I'm going there again this weekend,to watch star trek.WHOO!

3.Clothes & Shoes shop,because as a girl,I still have a girly part of me.& most girls LOVE clothes & shoes,just like me.I love just walking through shopping centres with my mum,browsing through every SINGLE shop....Just seeing if there's anything cute.My favourite clothes shops are Guess & Esprit,but for shoes I have none,I just go for cute slippers,that go with my clothes.

So that's about it.......bb for now!

Creativity is something that is inborn and can never be taught

True!Although allot of people go to Art lessons to improve their creativity,& become better,it doesn't mean they didn't have creativity to begin with...They just didn't know how to show it.



Many people claim they have absolutely NO creativity,but when they put their mind to something,it turns out beautiful.Cretivity is inborn with every person,its just that,maybe some people have more creativity than others.



Creativity can't be taught!Creativity is an expression from within.Creativity is about being artistic in your own way,everyone expresses in a different way...

Courtesy

If I come late to school,i will goto the teacher and tell the teacher a good reason for being late....Which is polite...But in the first place,I'm not usually late for school...

To me,courtesy means to be polite to every single person you meet,politeness...For example,saying excuse me to someone you that's blocking your way...Or saying sorry to someone you bumped into.Courtesy is a habbit that you must learn from young,its a good habbit that will stay forever.

And so far in my life,there has only been a few people that bump or knock into me without saying sorry........But I don't get angry because they're just kids & I know they'll learn sooner or later....

March holidays!

When the March holidays came,I was so glad! I slept late,always woke up late,it was relaxing.

On Saturday,I went for ballet as normal.But then after that,I watched "Hotel For Dogs"...Surprisingly,without planning,we met a friend of my mum's.Our mothers caught up,then we said our goodbyes.

On Monday,I had some of my classmates come over to my house to do a project.For some of them,it was their first time to see my house,so we had fun.In the end,we ended up playing more than doing the project,but we still finished it in the end.It was so much fun!

On Wednesday,my mum brought me to Spotlight in Plaza Singapura for....buying cloth for a fashion project.I'm suppose to make a dress,oooo,sounds sooo interesting,but I haven't finished yet...But I'm halfway,YAY!Hopefully finishing soon.

On Thursday I had another friend come over,she was my best friend from last year.Although she said she could sleepover,her mum had some last minute plans,so,she couldn't sleepover in the end....I was so sad...But we still had fun playing my favourite board game:Monopoly.When my mum came home,we had dinner then we went downstairs to eat ice cream for dessert.My friend and I thought it was very yummy...Sadly,soon after,my friend had to leave,we waved our goodbyes and hoped to have another play date soon.

On Friday night,I watched Race to Witch Mountain,I was so excited as I've been waiting to watch this movie since I saw an advertisement on TV last year in a hotel where I stayed for a little while in Orlando.The movie was great!Just everything I expected it to be...

That was the problem...I didn't know

You can never love an object more than your family.Even though each family has their own problems,we always make up in the end...

A family can fight and be angry at eachother but they'll always be there for eachother when times get difficult.A person could never love an object more than family no matter how hard life gets,family will always be there.An object can never comfort or give advice,it can only give you pride.An object can never fill the place of a family...

The Current Thoughts In My Mind...

I so wish to go back to America,the last time I went there,I went to Orlando...It was fun,I went to Disney World,I went with my brother and mother.We went to all sorts of rides.I also wish to go back to Maldives,touch up on my tanning and snorkeling.I also wish to go back to Bangkok and do some shopping.Plus I want to go back to Bali and do some scrubs and get more massages.I've also always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffel tower,but so far,my mum says I'm too young to go there because it'll be too boring for me.Anyway,I also wish to go back to Tokyo,because the last time I went,I went with my grandparents and uncle,we had so much fun in Tokyo Disney Sea and Land.I prefered Disney Sea more than Disney Land.I wish we could just go back to the old days...
But most of all,I want to go back to my grand mother's home in Australia,because of the global warming there have been bush fires and heat waves there.I want to go back and spend my time with them and see all my old friends.I also really hope that my birthday will turn out as well as it did every other year.

Camp was amazing!

Funny thing was that when we first arrived there,we(me and my girly friends) hated it...the MPH hall(multi-purpose hall) which was where the whole P5 level assembled was FULL of sandy coloured dirt & worst of all immaginable...Ants.Plus we had to wait sooooooo long before we were let off to eat lunch,I was furious!But even after we went to the canteen,the food was horrible.They put TOO much water in the rice so thus the horror,and the fish was too soggy it was gross...Next activity was fun though it really brightened me up it was rock climbing but my trainer was so mean,he made a deal with me saying that if I could reach a part of the rock wall,he would climb in front of everybody,but...if I did not reach I would have to shut my mouth for the whole day.Horrible,right?Anyway,I failed but when I wanted to come down,he would like try to push me back to the wall and say"c'mon..try,try,try!You can do it!"I felt so stressed and frustrated then because I did not know if I should continue or give up,it was a hard choice but in the end I gave up anyway...2nd activity was extremely boring it was called :outdoor cooking,the dishes we made tasted horrible...Next we went abseiling,but it was raining so we could not do it so my friends and I were really dissapointed.Anyway dinner was better than lunch,um supper was ok but there was this one activity we did that was scary & this is why:we had to blindfold ourselves for like a halfhour if felt horrible to feel that you can never see again,I totally hated that activity.Next day,we did a few boring activities but just then the horror of people crying was about to start...we played this dreadful activity called the"entanglement" there were two poles & yellow string bound around them...we had to try and crawl under,plus because of my big mouth I said"why cant we stand straight and try to climb through" teacher-in charge said no & I said boring that was when the dreadfulness begin...He sprinkled water on the ground to make it all muddy,after completing the course,a few girls cried because their new clothes turned into trashy clothes & they were scared it could not be washed off...Anyway,we did a nature course and after that the party was about to begin,the campfire was just SPECTACULAR & AMAZING...Everybody got on their feet and danced and sang & I've never seen so much P5s dance at once!!!I just loved it!When the CampChief announced one of my friends birthday I was soooo happy for her to get to celebrate her birthday on such a cheerful day!& the cupcakes her parents bought were delicious!!!But the sad part was when the campfire was put out my bestfriend and I were sad that it was going to be over soon.But the one thing that was sooo funny was that when the campchief tried to put out the fire it kept on going & me & mybestfriend were like"Go fire...c'mon you can do it!"It was fun!P5 camp will be remembered always to all us P5s...YAY CAMP!

16 january 2009

To Mrs Tay,
I agree,nowadays our parents make us have tuition for almost every different subject and make us do alot of assesment papers.Sometimes,I even have to sleep after 10 just to finish homework given by either teachers,parents or tutors.
