My birthday is coming…

My birthday is coming! It is 30th of March! I am so happy but I don’t think that I will receive lots of presents this year( I don’t know why, I just think that my friends have forgotten my birthday…). Anyway, when one is happy, his/her mind will be blank (like me)! Ha-ha!

Even if I don’t have presents, it is alright. But I only wish that my friends will wish me a ‘Happy Birthday’. My father will be in Hong Kong and he cannot celebrate with me. Too bad! And I won’t throw a birthday party because my sister said that I am already ten and I actually don’t need any party (she said if I have, I am a childish person). But I really thought of throwing a party… but my parents will have to waste a lot of money on the cake and other things. So I better not!

As my birthday is on Thursday, I will be having choir and will stay back until 3.30 pm. So I will get home late and maybe even cannot finish my homework( I don’t think so this will happen but perhaps I cannot finish my assessment)!

Ok then. This notice is just to tell you all that how happy I am!
*If you notice this notice, you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing. (Ha-ha!)
The sentence is a little joke! Don’t treat it seriously please and thank you! Bye!

Poem about my ENEMY...

Carelessness

Carelessness is my greatest enemy,
It is a pain in the neck.
The reason I always lose marks is because of it.
But I have a special way to defeat it,
Scroll down now and see how I did it!

Get ready your weapon,
And get ready your brain.
Before it really starts to ‘rain’!
If you want to defeat it (Carelessness),
Then keep yourself extremely fit!

Check twice or even more,
You will never experience bore.
Because you have a real big task,
If you don’t know, you must ask!

So now,
You don’t ever need to ask me how,
Just go ahead and hit carelessness to the ground!

Do you all like my ‘carelessness’ poem? Please give me some comments. You know, I am not so good in creating poems. So remember to defeat carelessness! Good luck in your studies! Bye!

Book review 1
THE LOTTIE PROJECT
About the story:

The story is about a girl named Charlotte Alice Katherine Enright, but she was usually called Charlie. Her new form teacher, Mrs. Beckworth, refused to call her Charlie but Charlotte. She even forced Charlie to sit next to Jamie Edwards, the most revolting, stuck-up, horrible boy in the whole class. Mrs. Beckworth assigned the class to do a project on Victorian period. But the clever Charlie wasn’t easily beaten. And instead of writing a boring report, she created a diary for Lottie, a nursery maid.

But poor Charlie’s world was changing! Her mother, Josephine (whom Charlie called her Jo all the time) lost her job. (Charlie was a single-parent child.) Jo finally found three jobs. The first one was a job from the supermarket (a cleaning job), the second one was another cleaning job but it is in one of those posh Oxford Terrace (the Rosen family). And the third one was another cleaning (but babysitting job) in another terrace (not the Oxford Terrace). Jo was going to take care of a five year old boy, named Robin, and that little guy was really shy. He always carries a filthy clothed robin (doll) in his pocket.

And suddenly things went all wrong! Jo acted weirdly lately (putting makeup and dressing up without any reason). And Jo was very close to Robin’s father, Mark. Mark is a nice person and he offered to take Jo and Charlie to the Red River Theme Park that Charlie always wanted to go. Jo and Mark went on a ‘car’ ride and at that moment, they kissed. Charlie told little Robin that Mark will abandon him (she was actually just joking).But Robin was really afraid that what Charlie said might happen. Robin is a single-parent child too. (His mother abandoned him and went away with another guy.)
-Going further about Robin’s mother:
Actually, Robin’s mother wanted to take care of little Robin but that ‘another guy’ did not want Robin to stay with them.

Charlie made a few delicious cup cakes with nasty words on them for Jo, Mark and Robin. She gave the cakes to them when they were having a picnic. The one she gave to Jo was written there: traitor, Mark’s cup cake was written: deadly poison and Robin’s cup cake was written: get lost. And that very midnight, Mark called Jo and told her that Robin was lost! He searched the whole houses but there was not a sight of Robin to be seen. Charlie was indeed very sad and afraid at the same time, that Robin might be lost forever. After a long search of Robin, the police officers found him at the railway station. (What happened was that Robin had had a nightmare and wanted to find his mother (she lives faraway and only train can reach there), so Robin decided to take the train himself). But unfortunately, Robin got a touch on pneumonia because apparently, he’s been slightly asthmatic and he did get very chilled. He took antibiotics and rested for a long period before he recovered. Mark was actually angry of Charlie because she said something bad to Robin but after Robin’s recovery, Mark took Robin, Charlie and Jo to the beach and built lots of sandcastles (he forgave Charlie).

At last, Jamie and Charlie became friends when Charlie had to go to his house for the Victorian Project (Jamie had lots of books about Victorians in his ‘library’). Robin became one of Charlie’s best friends. Mark and Jo did not marry and everything was settled. Jo with Charlie and mark with Robin.

-My opinion:
I chose this book to recommend to my friends because this book is sort of exciting. It is all about Charlie and some other reasons is that I like to read books that are like character’s diary or about the character and I like to read fiction books. Although this story is not true, it is a story of Charlie. This is really a nice book (I can’t stop praising this book!). Wish that all of you will like this book! Thank You!

About the camp…

The camp was average, I think. I mean it is not so bad but… how do I say it? Okay, I learnt a lot at the camp. We can apply them when there is a group work. I learnt that we must cooperate with each other in a team; we must be persisting and must communicate with our group members.

Actually, I do have some dislike about this camp (sorry to say that!). I don’t like it when we have to assemble at the main tent where group one (my team) got to sit on the sand. And there are a lot of ants (red and black; big and small)! I don’t dare to sit on it so I decided to squat. And after a few minutes, I need to stand up and stretch. I also don’t like it when we have to walk so far to the canteen and have our food. When we finish eating, and refilled our energy, we’ve got to walk back. When we reach the main tent, we have no more energy because we’ve use up all of them on the way… I don’t like the shower too. We’ve got to rush all along and we have to wait to get into the changing room. I am not clean and I felt uncomfortable. My hair surely stinks that time!!!! Ha Ha!

I like those games that Instructor Herdi (my trainer) taught our group. They were fun and nice. He taught us some camp songs that are not taught to us for the presentation night. He is a good trainer I can say. He is humorous but sometimes he is strict and fierce. I remember one time group one is noisy and we wouldn’t sit in twos. He decided to let us sat for about fifteen minutes before we play some games. So we got to wait till he decided to let us go.

The foods that are provided at the canteen were nice. I like the lunches that we had. They were yummy (oh! I feel hungry now!). The suppers were nice too. I like the Milo and green bean soup! But I don’t understand why the camp chief doesn’t let us go to the toilet and wash our cutleries. But it is alright now because the camp had ended! YIPEE!

I learnt to treasure my house more! Ha Ha! And I learnt to treasure boiled water. We have to drink tap water at the primary 5 camp. The camp chief said that 98% of the water is clean and 2% is not clean. I don’t dare to drink them at first. But later on, I have no more water so I’ve got to drink the tap water. After I drank them, I got a little stomach ache. I am not very sure whether it is safe to drink that water or not…
Okay then. I will end here and have a nice day!

Reflection on Term 1…

Term 1 is the most unforgettable. Why? Because it is the moment when I met some new friends. I have worked so hard to achieve good results for CA1 but what I got is not what I want… so sad. I got 75.5 for English! Can you believe this? I knew I will not an A* but can god a least give me an A? I knew I cannot beat last year’s ‘Best in English’ for sure. It is very clear, okay? Like what Seo Jung said, there is no point crying over spilt milk (but I really did cry over it at home. Well, I feel so ashamed now…). Anyway, I can still work hard for it. Nobody is born to be the best.

I have learnt a lot from Miss Chia. Like how to ‘be friends with your brain’ and lessons in life. I think I like Miss Chia’s lessons. My goal for Term2 is to get 85.5 for English. That will be good enough. From the starting of the year, I am just an ordinary Winky, but now (after Term1), I am a Winky who knows indirect speech and think maturely (haha). Now, in order to get better results for Term2, I will do my assessment! Good Bye!

The Camp is coming…

Hey guys! We have not met since the last post I have created (Valentine’s Day)… You may ask why. Because I have exams in school! The exams were not difficult but I got low marks. Anyway, today my post is about the school camp at East Coast Park (as what I have type in the title). Can you believe it? At East Coast Park… with only your friends and not your parents? In 2004, my sister had her primary five camp in school. Last year, the primary five camp in a chalet. And this year, as I told you, I will be camping at East Coast Park. Well, I may be homesick, and cry for my mother! (Ha!)

What are we going to do there? Sail boats? Build sandcastles? No way! But I have no choice but to go because it is compulsory. We must have valid reasons for not going. But I don’t have any. Tell them that I am sick? Tell them I am going overseas? Some of my friends are going to Shan Dong (China) so they do not need to go to the camp. So good! I don’t really understand why we need to have a primary five camp. Maybe they want us to know how it feels when you are not at home at night instead you are with your friends. My sister told me that I would have fun there but I am not hundred percent sure I will. Maybe I will or maybe I will not. Anyway, I am not saying that the camp is a bad idea… I am just afraid of… Never mind, so let’s call this a day and bye!See all of you in the next post!
