Chalet At SAF Seaview resort

DAY 1

Bleah! So worn out after a rainy and draggy journey here, the SAF Seaview Resort. But here it was sunny. Woah! HERE IS the best chalet(below) everrr man!

Why?

Super clean
Complimentary snacks,not my fav though
Spiral stairs
Extremely windy until cannot tahan(AH-CHOOOOO)
No funny smells
A perfect holidaying place!!!

I scampered around like a mouse merrily for a very very long time.

There were 2 bedrooms upstairs. 1st one with a queensized bed only and a velvety vermilion sofa-bed and a LG tv (don't play play hor)! 2nd one has 1 single beddy and another queen sized beddy. Both have seaview. There was a toilet too without a tub and Tricia was not pleased...

Downstairs there was a reasonable-sized kitchen. Vely complete.Vely. I am impressed. There was a 6-seater dining table too. The comp snacks displayed nicely on it. The sofa was a brown-but-not-new-detachable-sofa. The LG tv was here too.. In the sheltered but breezy yard, there was a garden bench and a barbecue pit of a brand "outback" I'm quite 无聊-.-

So for the whole of that day, we rotted all day long in the spacious hotel, oops sorry should be chalet. I watched my Harry Potter disc for almost the 100th time in my life. Dinner time! And we went to the Changi Village hawker centre to eat. Vely nostalgic there.

Come back, me and Tricia did "potion" creating. I read my book then. After that we called it a night.

DAY 2

WOOHOO!!! I can't wait to "boast" abt the chalet to amah's family!! In the afternoon, first arrived Leshan and family. I showed them around then brought Leshan to the beach. I was too excited!!! We went to the part of the beach where it was muddy but extra polluted with rubbish ranging from carpets to gloves...Brwyak! We found a small mud crabby and some hermit crabs. My pet phrase then was " Why do they want to pick the ugly shells only" lol. When we find until sian,we went back to chalet. Ahh, what quality time spent.

When we went back, have quite a few people there. We lazed around until cut cake time. It was Seth's bday. We sang a birthday song and Jaden helped to blow candles. The cake was nice, choco+passionfruit= good combo. I chatted with LS and JE for a while. Then we separated into 4 groups SATB Soprano Alto Tenor Bass and practised a song called Now the Holly Bears a Berry with our *leaders*. I was a Tenor. We got confused with the deep bass voices practising. In my group was Steven biaojiefu, Seth, wu gu zhang and yongjun. We practised until perfect. Then all the SATB came together and we sang and sang... very nicely harmonised and the soprano and the others was outstanding! Better than the one at Tiong Bahru Plaza where they anyhow sing and look so sour.

Dinner! It was from NEO GARDEN CATERING one of my most fav caterers becuz of the curry, nice but salty. Me and LS sat with sangu and jingxuan jiejie and xiaoxuan jiejie and ruiqi biaojie and tongxian jiejie. Okay, we shared a secretly funny joke abt someone in amah family. It was started by sangu!!! I laughed till I spit out my lime juice. Secrets are not for telling...I don't want to embarrass the person and me....

At nite, me and LS sat on the roof with the platform watching the others sing in the serene environment.

I have never felt so festive in my life before! The strumming of the guitar made me so comfortable. After a while it started drizzling and they had to go into the chalet and continue singing. Heehee I could hear all the enthusiastic shouts from above especially sangu.

Alas, everybody except my father's xiongdijie (without mei) went home. The rest stayed here for 1 nite.

DAY 3

Morning! Morning was nothing much but in the afternoon my mother's side came over. They were amused by the spectacular view. They brought out their barangbarang from their cars including 12 coconuts.

We went back to the past and played musical chairs^^. It was great fun! We went down to the beach but this time we walked even further into the mud and found more crabs and barnacles. There were experts who actually caught big lobsters and squids!! We were just rookies..

BBQ time! We ate BBQ-ed garlic buttered prawns, soy dipped yakitori, corn, garlic bread, sausages,turkey, ham and other great food!!!

Now is my fav part!! Getting presents! Okay but I only opened them at 12 after watching King's Speech... I got a small orange bag, Lego, Tintin, a nice watch. I'm totally satisfied with all the presents!

DAY4

Farewell, hotel.....Farewell....we had a great time here......BYES!

THE MERLION HOTEL@Esplanade

2011-05-15T11:28:00.002+08:00

THE MERLION HOTEL@Esplanade
Just yesterday, I went to the Merlion Hotel! Wow!I may have went there in mid-day, however, it was drizzling毛毛雨。It was also good for us as we expected it to be SCORCHING!!

Let me tell you some facts about the Merlion Hotel...It was built by a Japanese architect, who is, Tatzu Nishi. In case you do not know anything AT ALL about it, the hotel is built such that the Merlion is surrounded by it. WAAA...So amazing when my feet touched the floor. The room was practically like a palace. I liked it especially the wallpaper! How I wish I could have it in my own room! The wallpaper had: Sir Stamford Raffles, Istana, and some other buildings. Of course the bed looked so comfy and fluffy and squishy! But so sad..the guide did not let us TOUCH it. It was also the first time I came so near to the Merlion. I saw the pipe that the water spurt out everytime we pass by the Merlion; but of course it was not on. And lastly the most exciting part for Tricia, the bathroom! When you lie down in the bathtub, you can see the cityscape, Singapore Flyer, MBS and the Business District. So breathtaking. Oops! But soon, the guide said that we had to go because the next badge of people are coming. So, we went off. I highly recommend YOU to go before it is demolished...

UAE holidays

2010-12-05T17:45:00.002+08:00

UAE HOLIDAYS FAVOURITES

Abu Dhabi
In Abu Dhabi, I enjoyed the Grand Mosque the most. It was very historic! The sun was scorching but the marble floor still felt cool, this is because it reflects the sunlight away!

Rating for Abu Dhabi:3.93/5.00

Dubai
I really like Dubai! There, I liked the ski Dubai the most! I played in -4 degrees Celsius. There was a slide where you sit on a rubber ring and zoom! You are at the bottom!

Rating for Dubai: 4.21/5.00

Sharjah
In Sharjah, I liked the zoo the most. I fed the docile goats and sheeps. I also fed the camels with one hump. Their teeth looked very dirty and crooked!

Rating for Sharjah: 4.1/5.00

YOG Closing Ceremony

2010-08-29T17:56:00.013+08:00

YOG CLOSING CEREMONY 26 AUG 10

Aunty Wai Ling gave us two free tickets for the YOG closing ceremony all of a sudden. Luckily my exams were over, so that I could follow my father. She called near to the evening. Upon hearing the news, we set off to the MRT station to take a train to City Hall. From there, we walked to The Float@ Marina Bay.

There, we got the tickets and queued up. I kept smelling the stench of sweat, so irritating! Then we went our seats. I was exhilarated!!! We were seated at the dark green section, to the west of the stage, nearest to the highway.

Then about 7.30pm, the ceremony started. My father went to take some goodie bags, inside it was: - A YOG raincoat.

- A YOG flag

- A Singapore flag

- A heart (can be battery lighted)

- A packet of tattoos

- A Lyo-headed cap, with light

There were performances here and there, like lion dance. And of course, mainly, fireworks!

They asked us to shout until the whole of Marina could hear. That is why I got a sore throat. Amazing!

Flame on:

Flame extinguished (sob!):

Cookie Dozer (App Game)on ipod

2010-08-29T17:44:00.007+08:00

COOKIE DOZER 29 AUG 10

My father reached the maximum cookies in Cookie Dozer (iPod game). The maximum is 9999. Cool right? The game can only reach 9999 (4 digits) because the score box is too small to fit 10000 (5 digits).

Guess what happens if he scores one more cookie? Scroll down if you want to know......

Haha! This seems so weird! It shows 0000. Then, it showed 0001, which is actually 10001!

Bali trip 19 - 23 Jun 10

2010-06-24T17:30:00.008+08:00

BALI TRIP 19 - 23 JUN 10

BARLEY! I WENT TO BARLEY! JUST KIDDING. What a fun time I had in Bali! I give the rating 3.8 out of five. The hotel was quite wonderful. It has a white cold bed, quite a big TV(LG brand), and a balcony(with a table , 2chairs, clothes hanger, a matchstick box and a candle vase) Quite a sum of things! The toilet was very big! In fact it had three doors (including main toilet door).
-One was a door to the toilet bowl
- The other was a door to the shower
And the bath tub, with a cute bouncy pillow.
For the restaurants, I find it quite nice too! But the "B.B", breakfast buffet, had quite a number of houseflies flying around. So when the housefly came and landed on my food, I will blow that part so that the germs fly away (quite a silly trick to do right?). I took a silhouette of the bird standing on the branch. Nice,eh?
Look at the picture at the left, we took a photo underwater in the swimming pool (it is not taken from the outside of the glass panel).
The sunset was breathtaking, I was at the beach and Iwanted to take a dip in the OCEAN. And heehee I was in my blue underwear swimming(bottom left). Dont tell anyone ok?

Experience to the CC's table tennis 21 May 10

Today, I went to the CC's table tennis, you should know what is 'CC' and not 'Sissy'. There, the chinese instructor asked me to do 动做. He means to practice with my bat. When he asked me to hit the ball on the table, he kept saying,'手松一点儿‘。Because my hands were always so stiff! He said,' Peng' the ball lightly.

Visit to the parliament house to see the late Dr Goh Keng Swee 20 May 10

Courageous, responsible, dilligent, that was what Dr Goh Keng Swee's character was. Sad to say, he passed away. Me, including my family, went to visit where his coffin was. It was at North Bridge Road,(opposite the New Supreme Court). When we went into the Parliament House, we had to queue row by row. I saw his dead body inside the coffin, guarded by two policemen.

EVENTFUL DAY 19 MAR 10

See the picture on the (left), if you are clever enough, you will know where am I , but if you are blur , just look carefully where I am. I am here but I DIDN'T go in. I just went to the restaurant in the so called 'Fiesta' to eat. I went to the casino at RWS. But not in the casino. There was a sign outside the casino which showed x wearing SLIPPERS, SINGLETS AND SHORTS. SO STRICT!

The restaurant was unique and fanciful. The walls were covered with some kind of COLOURFUL LIGHTS. There is a picture of what it looked liked (below left). The food was sumptious.

Then, I always think this kind of restaurant has a unique toilet, so I tried to go in. And it is so cute because each one represents:

For who: Colour of room:
Old Man - Orange
Gentleman - Green
Old Lady - Red
Lady - Blue

Above is a picture of me in the 'gentleman toilet'. My outfit matches the background. Cool right!

Europe Trip 22 Nov to 14 Dec.

2009-12-28T19:52:00.005+08:00

EUROPE TRIP!!!

London day 1

Oh my gosh! I am going to Europe! Our first city is London, then to Oostende in Belguim, then to Rennes in France, then to Paris, then Chamonix (French alps)and lastly to Rome and then to London again and after we head back to homeland! Looks tough.

We took SQ A380. Seats aren't that big difference than other aircrafts but just slighty bigger...14 hrs....... Yes! Yes! Yes! Reached our destination, London Heathrow aiport. The development of the airport is much worse than Singapore's. Over there, I tried to be British, by walking smartly and speaking like them.. Heeheeeee.

We stayed at Aunty Chi Hung's house. Once I got out of the airport, it was quite cold and very windy for the first time, but luckily, aunty Chi Hung kindly drove us back. Everything was swishing here and there(trees.). You know it was at night. Once I got into the car, ahh, I couldn't even hear a single squeak. I felt so uncomfortabe because we had to buckle seat belts and I was wrapped with a bulky coat. On the way, I can conclude that it is quite hard to drive there as there are many cones and roundabouts.

London day 2

Yeah finally! We could walk on the streets of London! My auntie's house was located at the train station, Turnham Green(TURN-am) I liked the station names of London like Ravencourt Park, South Kensington and King's Cross St Pancras. We went to the Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. We were so lucky as there was lots of sunlight which was really glorious. With sunlight, Big Ben looked really majestic.

In the afternoon, we took a train ride to Piccadilly Circus. It was very lively out there with big screens, theatres, shops and it was like the Times Square.

Exams are over

2009-11-05T19:37:00.002+08:00

I heaved A Sigh Of Relief

Ahh! Finally, my exams are over. The moment the science test was over(5Nov;last paper), I heaved a sigh of relief. YAY, I can enjoy. The most precious thing I am looking forward is to go to Europe. About 2 weeks more, I am going to Europe. Extra:Please, don't be jealous... But, this is very peculiar that my exams are much more later than the other schools. My exams are on 2nd to 5th Nov. Aiyo, I am so sad. Because, I have to bear(not the animal.) longer as my exams are later. Anyway, it's over.

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton wins for F1 2009 Singapore grand prix

JUST on 27 Sep 2009,I was watching the sinapore grand prix. Guess what? The night before the race, I prayed to the god that Hamilton will win on the following day's race. And, he really won!!!

But, there is one thing. At first, I thought that Fernando Alonso was winning as at one of the last part, he was in the leading.

Fourtunately, Hamilton caught up and won!!!!!!!!!! I was shouting joyfully," YAY!!!!" I was so happy that suddenly I felt like collecting pictures and posters of him and is car. I had already cut out one picture on the newspaper. If you have more of his pictures, if you don't mind, please pass them to me! Thanks! :)

2009-07-26T18:22:00.001+08:00

WHAT LUCK TO GET A CHRYSLER TAXI
Guess what? Last Saturday, the rain was very strong. We were flaging for a cab. But we waited very long and there were no taxi. So we went to the other side of the road. Then the other side of the road had taxis again. Ahh. But then, we saw a huge steady taxi coming. As it got closer, I knew it as a chrysler taxi. Yay! We got in and the meter started at five dollars. Inside the cab, it was comfortable and big. Not even a single sound I could even hear. I was so happy that I didn't even talked through the journey.
When we reached our house lobby, the price for the ride was double the price as normal cab price. What a nice journey!

Bangkok trip 14 - 17 Jun 09

2009-06-18T12:21:00.015+08:00

HOLIDAY IN BANGKOK 14 -17 JUN 09

We woke up early...early, in the morning, at 5.00am. Guess where are we going? Bangkok! I hadn't been there for a long time already. Since I was 4. We went to the airport(terminal 1). We took Jet Star there.

When we reached Bangkok, we took a cab to the hotel. Our hotel was called 'Centara grand'. Wah! The hotel reception ceiling had a long string with shiny crystal beads dangling down from the wall. It looked like raindrops. We checked in at the 23 floor. The reception was there. Then, we were going to stay at the 44 floor!

Before that, we went to the 54 floor, where the lounge was. The waiter served us some yummy fruit punch. We also took some food. There were very few people. Everyday when we went, it was only us. And the hot chocolate was super duper warm and nice to drink. Ahhhhh! Finally, we went to the hotel. Nice man! We played bubbles in the bathtub. The bubbles I blew were really giant.

Guess what? Almost every day I ate 6 meals! I am not kidding okay! I ate 2 breakfasts, 1lunch, 2 dinners and 1 supper. I always feel my tummy round and bouncy! We ate some scrumptious cooked shark's fin soup at the Chinatown there. It was too yummy! The shark's fin here was big! Not like Singapore's shark's fin, so lao ya.

We also played in the bathtub. First time I seen so much foam in the bathtub. And I made the foam. The whole bathtub was filled with foam! I was the foam maker and Tricia was the relaxer. She keeps lazing and I kept making the foam for her. Poor me!

I enjoyed my trip quite alot! But we slept more........

Amara sanctuary

2009-03-15T17:26:00.009+08:00

AMARA SANCTUARY HOTEL 14 MAR 09

Day.1 This Saturday, on 14 March, I went to stay at Amara Sanctuary hotel for 1 day. The hotel was at Sentosa. When I was about to set off the house, I felt like flying. Because I was too excited.

The hotel lobby was very cooling as it was extremely hot outside. When we were waiting to check in, one of the uncle from the hotel gave us some drinks. I wondered if it was a passion fruit juice or something else. I found it so special as the hotels so far I had went did not provide drinks at the lobby. Then we checked in into the hotel. Ooooooooo, the hotel was so big.

Toilet : Quite big

Has soap; nice scent like: lemongrass and lavender

bathtub

pure white toilet bowl

but doesn't stink

small kitchen: small

tea box contains: Spearmint and camomile tea, lemon and ginger tea, english breakfast tea and earl grey tea

a flask

bed: cozy

comfortable

huge

We lazed in the hotel room for a while. Then when we woke up, we went swimming. Brrrrr! The water was like freezing as we were swimming under a shady tree and the sun was setting. So we went back to the hotel and me and Tricia bathed in the bathtub. Ahhhh now i feel more refreshed! The water in the bathtub was warm. I played with the rubber duckie.

' Ding dong' Somebody rang the bell. It was Aunty Daphne! When she came in, we quickly changed into a shirt. When we were ready, we went for dinner. We went to the sky pool first. The quiet and refreshing pool is only for adults. After that, we went for dinner at a restaurant. I could see the chef cooking there!

When the food was here, we started to eat. They first gave us some delicious, scrumptious, marvellous mushroom soup. I told papa that I wanted pepper. So he said ask the waiter. Then I said can you help me ask. But he said you have to ask yourself. So I raised up my hand, looking funny, and when the waiter came I asked shyly, "May I have some pepper please?" Then the waiter replied," Of course." So the waiter gave me some pepper. Pepper. Black grounded pepper. The pepper shaker was super longggggggggggggg.

Finally my beef steak came, yumyum! Then when we finished eating, we went to take a walk. Tricia was humming 'Super Trouper' song while she was walking.
We walked across the bridge over the sea at Palawan Beach.

After that lazy walk, we went back to the hotel.

Day.2 The next day when we woke up and er gu's family came. We went to the fruit garden. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! DISGUSTING!! I SAW SOME FUNGI!!! YUCK!!!! They were white and there were five1 I saw some flies flying around it. Then we went on on our journey to the beach.

At the beach, me, Rui Qi biao jie, Rui Bin biao ge built a castle.

And then we went back home. I had a fun time there!

Forest Adventure - Warren's birthday

2009-01-18T23:00:00.004+08:00

FOREST ADVENTURE AT BEDOK RESERVOIR PARK / WARREN'S BIRTHDAY 18 JAN 09

At 1.40pm, we arrived at Warren's birthday party venue, Bedok Reservoir. I could hear the rustling of the leaves. As we walked, Tricia saw a see-saw. I sat with papa first. And did you know what he did? He BOUNCED me UP!!!!!!!!!!! I kept laughing and laughing and laughing. And then we went on. At last I found Warren. I said," Happy birthday Warren ". Yay! THen, we could do the scary-looking obstacles. Yikes! All of them were at the top of the tree; like a tree house. I wore the helmet and the safety belt.And then I went up nervously. Looks so scary. When i was at the top, I started walking through the obstacles. I did the one like a train track first. Then I did the one like a tightrope. EEE! When I looked down, I was giggiling and my legs wobbled like a old man or a jelly. And I almost fell down. But luckily, there was a harness attached to me. The next thing we did is the balancing pole. That was not as scary. And then the tunnel. So easy! The scariest one was the trapeze swinging from pole to pole. But I used the rope to stand on. Hee hee. Lastly, I did the most fun obstacle. The nicest one of all. The perfectly one of all. The Flying Fox!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA run run run! i had to run on the landing which is the sand. But I didn't. So all the sand flew on my pants. Ahh, what a fun, enjoyable and fantastic day.

Phuket holidays 7 to 10 Dec 08

2008-12-10T12:58:00.052+08:00

PHUKET HOLIDAYS 7 TO 10 DEC 08

Day 1: We went to Phuket on 7 December. We went to the airport in the evening and ate our dinner there. I ate fish dory. When we finished our dinner, we went to the budget airlines terminal. It was the first time I go to the budget terminal. Our airline was Tiger Airways. It was the first time I took Tiger Airways. We walked to the plane on the tarmac. It was very smelly!!

Then the plane started to move,then we were on the runway. VROOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Then we were going to reach the Phuket airport. It took 1hour and 45minutes. At the airport, I was feeling sleepy.

Then we took the hotel van to our hotel. About 45minutes. I looked out of the window. I noticed that there were very few lights. The hotel we were staying is called 'Movenpick'. We stayed on the first floor. When papa finished talking to the receptionist, we took a tuk-tuk to the hotel room for free. So windy and bumpy. Our room number was 411.

Whoa! When I stepped in the hotel room, I was so amazed that it was big!!! The hotel room had two beds, one big one small. We were all very tired, so we slept.

Day2: We went to eat breakfast. I ate food and fruits. The food was delicious! After breakfast, we went to Karon beach. The beach was breezy. We built a big sandcastle with the moulds. It turned up perfect. Then, I collected some water from the sea. I was like Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. And I went back to the shore. First, to built a sandcastle, we had to pile up a hill. When I finished that part, I built staircase. It was cool!

Then I went in the sea with papa. It was the first time I went into the sea. The waves were BIG. But it was fun. And I could swim in the sea. Then we went swimming. Look at me and Tricia. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Do you like my photos, especially the one with the sunset?

We also swam at the main pool. The pool had a ball and a basket. Like water polo. There were 3 pools altogether at different parts of the hotel. One of them is 2.5 metres deep.

In the evening, we went for dinner. Then it rained heavily. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! We waited for the rain to stop. Then, as the rain was still pouring heavily, we went to the mini mart just next door. In the mini mart, we bought some sweets to eat in the hotel. Then when we went out the door, the shop owner let us use cardboards as umbrellas. So funny!!!!!

Day 3: We took a Local bus to Phuket bus. 30 baht per person. About 40 min. When we reached the Robinsons, we shopped and then we had steamboat for lunch. I drank a cup of hot lemon tea. After lunch, we fell asleep in the bus.

Day 4: We checked out at 2.00p.m. We stayed there till 5.00p.m.

What a nice holiday!

Zoo 5 Dec 08

2008-12-05T21:25:00.018+08:00

A DAY AT THE ZOO 5 DEC 08

Two days ago, I went to the Zoo with Aunty Daphne. We took her car to the destination. It was very very far. At last we reached!!!! I was too excited. First, we saw a group of otters wanting to eat food. They were so cute. Next we went to take a tram to see some zebras. Three of them were eating grass.

Then we went inside the Fragile Forest. I don't know why they called it Fragile Forest. Inside the forest, we saw BIG white butterflies. Ohhh!!! The most exciting part came. One of the butterflies was standing on my green T-shirt. I think it thinks that I am a flower. As we walked on, I saw a group of fruit bats hanging on the tree branch. And I also saw a Malayan Lemur. The tail was like a Racoon's. It was striped, white and black.

After that, we procceded to the play area!!!!!! It was brand new. I was toooooo excited. So I changed quickly. And then when I walked towards the slide,SSSPPPLLLAAASSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A big bucket of water splashed on meeee!!!!!!! Whaaa!!!! That gave me a fright!!!!It was like hurricane. Pheww! That was over So I went on my way to the slide. But as I went on, another splash poured on my head. Luckily it was just a mini bucket.Finally I reached the slide I slid down. VROOMMMMMMMMMMMMM. That was fun. I tried all the three different slide. So fun.

Then I decided to take the boat. I drove it by pulling the rope.HOW CREATIVE!!!!!!!!! I bathed under one of the octopus's tentacles. HOW CREATIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We saw a spiderweb nearby I was quite big. Then, by luck, we saw a giant turtle lying in the hot sun like a rock. We walked and walked. And we saw a goat. A billy goat. So cute. Ahhhhh, I was tired after all.zzzzz..................

The whole family went to Malaysia. When we reached there, we ate breakfast. After eating, we went back to the bus. We played in the bus and had fun. At the old streets, we went to see a famous bakery. It smelled nice. As I walked out of the bakery,

I saw a grasshopper. It was brown and looked like wood.

Then we went to eat at a restaurant. I ate lobster, crab and some other seafood. DELICIOUS!! Next, we went to the ostrich farm.

I fed the ostrich. It was fun!! San gu was so funny. She kept wobbling about!!!

After the ostrich farm, we went to the fruit farm. The guide said "There are more than 1000 fruits in the farm". When I walked to the dragonfruit, I fell into a hole. I thought it was a trap. The guide said"The dragon fruit dont need to be watered to many times. Then the guide led us

to the jack fruit. She explained "The male stem of the jack fruit is fatter." And then she also said "It takes about 300 days to grow."AMAZING , I thought. Then we walked. On top of me, I saw some vines hanging. That was the passion fruit. When the passion fruit is not ripe it is green. Then, we saw a pitcher plant. And a custard apple. It was like a bunch of grapes.COOL!

Then we went to the goat farm. I fed them grass. And they licked my hand. I liked the brown and white goat the most. When it was time to leave, I waved farewell to the goat. So sad. After that we went to the honey farm. The guide let us try the honey. It tasted like beer. I bought some gum at a shop nearby.

At the playground , I tried almost all the things. I liked the slippery slide the most. It was fast. When time was up, the bus took us to the restaurant. I had fun playing at the restaurant. Then the exciting part came. We are going to take the boat to see fireflies. The boat sped up and HERE WE GOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was fun. But now we kept quiet. We saw real fireflies. They were green. I touched one of them. It was cold and hot. That was the end of the day.

I was tired

PAPA'S BIRTHDAY DINNER 26 AUG 2008

We celebrated papa's birthday at the Equinox Restaurant. It was on the 70th storey. When I went into the lift, my ears 'popped'.

The first dish was the appetiser which is the sashimi. I loved the sashimi because it was soft and chewy. I also ate the plant. It tasted of wasabi.

The next dish was the soup. In the middle of the soup, there was a yellow cream which tasted cheesy. The green colour is the spinach. At the bottom of the soup, there was a quail's egg. I liked the soup it tasted cheesy and creamy.

The shell of the lobster has been taken away. There is curry sauce on the plate. I also ate the curry leaf - it tasted crunchy and a little bit of mint.

The next dish was the duck and foie gras (French word). My papa told me that one piece of foie gras is very very expensive. I liked the taste of the foie gras. There is a chao tah taste. The duck was very nice when you dip in the sauce.

The dessert is banana split. The banana was in a special sauce which tasted like guava. The ice cream had three different flavour - one was vanilla yogurt, the other was chocolate and the last one strawberry.

Then came the most important dish. It was the cake. There were 4 strawberries on it and 4 blueberries and 3 mango slices and white chocolate. Then papa cut the cake.

The last dish was the coffee. The sugar was like cubes. I had a enjoyable time at the Equinox Restaurant.

FIREWORKS AT MARINA 22 - 23 AUG 2008

On Friday night, we went to watch fireworks at esplanade with some of my cousins. It was my first time I went to seat near the floating platform. We sat at the green seats. We waited for about 1 hour. Then, some fireworks BURST INTO ACTION (from France). We saw many kinds of fireworks. Some of them were circle of course, some were twirly curly, some just sprayed out. At the end of the fireworks, When we went out, jam. On Saturday night, we went to see the Korean fireworks. We saw it near the grass patch which was muddy and wet. I preferred the French because they had more kinds of shapes

facts about my feelings:

my eardrums were ringing.

National Museum Night Lights

2008-08-02T22:06:00.014+08:00

NATIONAL MUSEUM 2 AUG 08
After I watched the NDP fireworks at my papa's office, I went to the National Museum with my cousins and my family. I like the lights because they had different designs of colours and shophouses. When I looked it, they make me feel awake.

Quiz: Can you spot the odd one out?

Night Safari

2008-07-28T21:40:00.004+08:00

NIGHT SAFARI 27 JUL 08
Yesterday on Sunday 27 July, I went to night safari. We dont even need to buy tickets because er bo gave 4 tickets to us. Just right!

The first thing we had to do is eat at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Then, we took a cab to the night safari. I waited........ and waited........ Finally we reached there. When I looked at the meter, the fare was $18.50. SO MUCH. When I got out of the cab, I smelled elephant poos.

I was super thrilled to sit on the tram. We waited for the tram. At first the queue was very long. But the queue kept on moving and moving. At last we board the tram. I passed by lots of animals like lions, lots of deers, giraffes, elephants and pigs.

After that, we walked through the trail in the forest. I saw some flying squirrels. I thought they could fly, but they couldn't.

We watched the animal show at 9.30pm. I liked the show because it showed my favourite raccoons. They were very very cute. The show ended at 10pm. We went home after that.

Henderson waves

2008-07-06T21:46:00.009+08:00

HENDERSON WAVES 6 JUL 08
It was Sunday. We went to Henderson Bridge as there was a evening sunset. What a great day to go to the bridge!!!

We took a cab there. The location was near Mount Faber. We climbed up the staircase to the bridge. Ahh , so tiring. I looked down from the bridge. EEEEKKS!! It was so scary. We continued walking towards the end. It was super duper long.We took about 1 hour to Alexandra Rd. Now was time for the scary part. The floor has holes in it and the hill was steep.

When we were near Alexandra, papa spotted a durian tree. I saw lots of durians hanging on the tree. The durians were unright. It was the first time I saw a durian tree. Oh no will the durians fall on somebody?

After we crossed the Alexandra Arch, we went to the HortPark to see the nursery. There were lots of plants and flowers. I like the cactus the most because some of them were colourful.

At 6.40pm, we took a bus number 61 to Vivo to have dinner at Sushi Tei.

When I reached home at 9.15pm, my papa and I brought our new bicycle to park at the basement carpark. I like this yellow bike because it can go very fast and very smooth. This bike is from sibo - from my uncle. The size is just right for me and I had tried riding it to the market this afternoon.

My papa talked about the 5 Bs. They were bicycle, bathe, blog, book and bed. I have done the first three and I will now read a book and then go to bed.

It's July 08

JAPAN TRIP (DAY 11)

Day 11: Not raining today! To Tokyo Disneyland!! We took a few trains to reach Tokyo Disneyland.

My first ride was with my papa, the Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster ride. We sat on a mine train - IT WAS SOOO FAST THAT IT WAS LIKE FLYING YOU OFF AND I HAVE BUTTERFLY TUMMY.

Yeah!!! My favourite was the Grand Circuit Race. If you step on the pedal, it accelerated. If you release, it stopped. It has the 'vroom' sound. I feel that this is very fun because you can drive a car. I took this two times and I always got the white racing car.

We had western food for lunch in the Queen's banquet hall.

After lunch, we watched the day parade. I could see Mickey and Minnie Mouse and other disney characters. We also watched some other shows.

At night, we watched the Electrical Parade.
They announced that there were millions of lights for this parade. I liked parades because they are very attractive.

We did not like the fireworks because it was just for about 3 minutes. It did not look nice. Hong Kong Disneyland fireworks were better.

At 10pm, we left Disneyland. We did not buy any souvenirs.

Japan trip (Day 8, 9, 10)

2008-06-08T21:20:00.036+08:00

JAPAN TRIP (DAY 8, 9 AND 10)

Day 8: It was another sunny day as we went to Kyoto by bullet train. It took 3 hours to get there. After a Ramen lunch, we checked into our hotel (Kyoto Dai Ni Tower), next to the Kyoto train station. The room was small and there were 3 beds, There is also a very squeezy toilet, like an aeroplane toilet. It was a small and cosy room.

The first temple we went was the Kinkakuji Temple (the golden coloured temple). It was like a teahouse. It was in the water.

We then took a bus (20 minutes ride) to Kiyomizudera Temple which was high on a hill. We actually wanted to take a taxi but it cost ¥2,700 (S$35)!! WHAT A WASTE!

Facts: the temple is red
and very shiny

From the temple, we walked back to our hotel (about 1 hour) and had Italian food for dinner.

Day 9: It was raining. We took a train to the nearby Fushimi Inari Shrine.

Facts:
- very cooling and lots of shade.
- This shrine has lots of orange coloured beams.
- and it is free!

We then took a train to Nara (about 1 hour ride). We had ramen for lunch and then took a bus to Nara Park. There were lots of deer and we had fun feeding biscuits to the deer. The deer kept chasing me for more food. I nearly step on their poo. The deers were so cute that i wanted to keep them as my pet. The deers always kissed meimei.

At 2pm, we took a train back to Kyoto. We then took another train to Arashiyama area (JR Sagano line). It was still raining. We saw the nice bamboo trees. We then went for a foot bath which was nice.

We then went back to the hotel and had pork cutlet for dinner, at Isetan building. I had the kids menu - which included a packet of biscuits, a kids toy and a sweet. The sweet tasted like fish food (eeks!).

Day 10: It was raining again. We took a bullet train back to Tokyo (10-29am to 1-10pm) . In the rain, we visited the Sensoji Temple in Asakusa area and then the Meiji Shrine in the Harajuku area. I MOST DON'T LIKE THE RAIN!!!

After that, we took the subway back to Shinjuku and went to the 42nd floor of the Metropolitan Government Building. We had a nice view and spent a lot of time shopping at the Toy Museum.

I bought a toy sushi set for ¥260.

Japan trip (Day 6, 7)

2008-06-08T09:23:00.020+08:00

JAPAN TRIP (DAY 6 AND 7)

Day 6: Today it rained.
Went to Metropolitan Children's Hall by train to Shibuya, took a long time to find the place. Put the bags in the locker, only ¥10 (will return). We had a fun time at this place:

- there was a music room, I played on the grand piano and see through piano, xylophone, drum set

-made a small paper story book - the story I made was 'a day in the garden'

-made a calendar with my face on it. I decorated the calendar with marker pens .

-played table tennis with papa and mama

-went to the woodcraft room and made a wooden car

-made a doughnut out of newspapers and cloth- I made a peanut butter doughnut with chocolate with decorations on it.

I missed this place alot.

In the evening, we went to Odaiba district. Took a local train and crossed the rainbow bridge over the sea. It was beautiful. We saw the Tokyo tower.

Drove cars in the Toyota car showroom. I went to play the toyota car game, it was free. When I crashed on the wall , my car shook. I drove anyhow.

After that we went to see the statue of liberty.

Went to public onsen (O-Edo Onsen) - it was a big place. Tried different hot baths, about 40 degrees. One of the baths was cold, at 20 degrees (we did not try). Papa and I also went to one outdoor hot bath. It was raining but it was comfortable soaking in the hot water. We stayed under the shed. We also had our dinner at the building, wearing the yutaka.

We also tried the foot bath. It was too painful for my legs as there were many sharp stones. Meimei was not scared of the stones (maybe her feet are much smaller).

By the time we reached aunty Regina's house, it was midnight.

Day 7: Today, it rained again. I woke up at 10am.

Went with aunty Regina to the fish market (Tsukiji). We saw a lot of fish products

We had sushi and ramen for lunch. The sea urchin was milky, like milk shake. I loved it!. After sushi lunch, we took a subway to the Transportation museum. When we reached there, the uncle told us that the museum had closed from 16 May. I was very very sad.

We went to Tokyo Dome instead. At this amusement park, I played the spinning roller coaster with papa (¥600 per person) - like flying off. We went to Kentucky Fried Chicken and had tea there while meimei slept. It was expensive.

In the evening, we went to Ueno to shop for tidbits to bring back to Singapore. I bought bubble gum, sweets and a bullet train toy. We also bought a lot of fruits like cherries, peach, rock melon.

Had Chinese dinner in a restaurant and then reached home at 9-10pm.

2008-06-06T13:59:00.041+08:00

DAY 3, 4 AND 5

Day 3: It was another bright and sunny day and we took a Romance Car (train) at 10am to Hakone. Reached Hakone at 11-25am. After lunch, we took Tozan bus number 3 to Ashinoya, to Ryokan Kinokuniya. We checked in at 2pm.

I LOVED THIS JAPANESE HOTEL because
- it was cosy

- we cannot wear our shoes into this hotel - we must change into the hotel slippers. the uncle kept our shoes for us neatly (see photo).

- the toilet flush is cute because it has a special spray to spray the pigu

-we wore a yukata (Japanese clothes)

- the view from the balcony was very nice- i could hear the birds chirping.

- 4 of us went to the outdoor private onsen. we have to take off all our clothes like your shirt, pants and even your diku. Everyone was naked!! we got in slowly it was very hot. the water smelled like rotten egg yolk(sulphur)

-we stayed in the private onsen from 4-40 to 5-15 pm. It was very fun it was my first experience

We had dinner at 6-30pm. There were lots of people. The food were already prepared. It smelled yummy and delicious. There were different kinds of food like steamboat (mushroom, different kinds of vegetables, pork, udon), soup, miso soup, potato, bacon, raw fish(i only tried 3 little pieces), pumpkin, radish, squid, rice, orange juice and dessert (mint leaf, cream, strawberry jam and strawberry jelly). i was very full.

When we went back to our room, our beds were already prepared for us. It was very comfortable

Before sleep, I went to the public onsen with papa. Only 2 of us and the air was cold. We went to both indoor and outdoor. It was time to leave, i was sad because i will miss this place. We were checking out tommorow.

Day 4: We checked out of Ryokan Kinokuniya and went to our next hotel, Hotel Fujiya. Before that, we brought Tricia to see a doctor (Tricia did not da bian for 5 days. She kept saying dont have, dont have). The doctor was very old and papa and mama tried very hard to tell him what was wrong with Tricia. He finally understood and pumped some liquid into Tricia's pigu. After 5 minutes, Tricia say stomach ache and mama brought her into the toilet. Papa said that it cost about ¥7,370 (about S$100).

We then walked to Hotel Fujiya. This hotel is 130 years old. Then we checked into the hotel. We let the check in staff put our bags in a room and we went to take a tramcar to go to the open air museum.

After lunch, we went to the mountain to go to boiling valley (Owakudani).

I smelled the smell of the sulphur. I saw the uncle boil the eggs in the HOT spring. The water looked very hot because there was lots of steam. When the eggs were cooked , they turned black!! I touched the egg and it was hot! It tasted very yummy - the egg yolk was nicer then those from Singapore.

We took a tozan train , a tozan cablecar- Hakone ropeway , sightseeing cruise , tozan bus. After that we went back to our hotel. For dinner, we went to eat Italian food. I was very hungry so i ate very fast.

We went to the public onsen in the hotel. Mama and meimei went to the ladies one and me and papa went to the gents one. The onsen that we went was very squeezy. There were two other people there. All of us were naked (Eeeeee!). I don't dare to go into the hot water fully because I had a scar on my back.

We had a good sleep.

Day 5: It was raining and I felt disappointed.
Soaked in the bathtub (like onsen) with meimei. The hot spring water flowed into the hotel bathtub.
We took a Tozan bus to Sengoku, then took a highway bus to Gotemba. We went to shop at Gotemba Premium Outlet (mama bought a Coach bag and 2 wallets). We had lunch at McDonalds - I tried the McPork. It was oiishi!

We then took a highway bus to Fuji Q highlands (1.5 hour journey). It was raining and it was cold. At Fuji Q, it was misty and there were very few people, maybe 20 people.

We went to Thomas Land section and I rode on 6 rides. I enjoyed all of them! Bought a souvenir (a Thomas box).

At 5-20pm, we took a highway bus back to Shinjuku. I slept on the bus! At Shinjuku, we had soba for dinner.

We unpacked and went for dinner. We took a JR line to Shibuya station. Tokyo is very clean and the people always say sumimasen and arigato gozaimasu. There are many colourful taxis - I liked the turquoise coloured taxi the most. I was sad because we couldn't take the taxi as it was too expensive.

We had teppanyaki and alakat for dinner. YUMMY! My most favourite dish was the grilled mushrooms and Makomodake (a sweet vegetable). They have different kinds of mushrooms . I loved the special garlic sauce. I think Japan has the nicest food of all! When we went back to aunty Regina's house, we brushed our teeth and slept.

I am very happy today because it is my first day of school. When I reached school, I realised that my class is still on the first floor. It is P2 Verdite. My form teacher is still Mrs Yeo!!!! I am very very happy!

In the canteen, the popiah price increased from 50 cents to 70 cents, but chicken rice is still 50 cents.

In my class, one friend switched to another school and another new friend joined us. For this week, I played one game. A group of people sit in a circle. The first person must describe himself. Example: Papaya Philmon. After that the next person must say another word but that person must remember what Philmon said. The second person can say Papaya Phimon Tall Thaddeus. It must be the same starting letter. So cannot say Fat Daniel.

Tell you a secret. I have to wear spectacles now. I am happy and sad.

Persons boarding: Kian Seng's (4 pax), Pau Siong's (14 pax)

Please do not be late and let me know (through this blog, either via the comments or the tag board) which pick up point you will be taking and the final number of passengers in your family. I will update the vehicle number and the exact pick up spot next week (when I have them) in this post

Payment
The food and lodgings cost RM85 for adults (>12 years old) and RM50 for kids. The transport will be billed separately in SGD. I have chartered a bus that can sit 45 pax for SGD850. This is SGD500 cheaper as compared to the one chartered by the kelong operator. I will let you know the actual cost per family next week. I will just divide the cost by the pax, regardless of adult or kid, fat or thin etc.
Let me know whether you prefer to pay me in SGD or a combination of SGD and RM
You can pay me tomorrow in cash so that I can use the cash to pay the driver. [Pau Siong RM1085 & SGD277, Kian Aik SGD155, Kian Tiong SGD269, Geok Tai SGD212, May Fung SGD367, Geok Lian SGD20 for the fixed costs]

Some details

blankets and pillows are provided in an airconditioned environment. you need not bring sleeping bags as there are additional matresses available
lockers with keys are provided FOC
there is hot shower available; you need to bring your own toiletries + bath towel
there are mahjong and cards and karaoke discs with a VCD (or DVD?) player. you can bring additional movie discs if you like. You can also bring additional board games. For adults, you may want to bring a book along if you do not play mahjong nor cards.
you can bring your fishing rods - you can fish directly from the comfort of the kelong. The last time we went, our friends really caught fishes fairly easily
there is a nature reserve very near to the resort. this time round, we may go for a walk in the primary forest. it will be on sunday morning, after the tour of the breeding ponds. this is optional (admission to nature forest is at a nominal fee)
there will be 5 meals - lunch, teabreak, BBQ dinner, breakfast and lunch (at a restaurant)
no need to bring coffee sachets as these are available at the kelong
we should be back in Singapore on Sunday by 4pm
no need to buy crackers nor snacks, nor mineral water as there is a provision shop very close to the kelong
the kelong is a modern one that is connected to land - it is not those built on wooden stilts far out in the sea.
it is a big kelong that has about 10 rooms - each room can house 8 pax. As we have 45 pax, there will be other people staying there. Do not worry about the toilets - i think there are sufficient cubicles
you do not need to bring a lot of RM as there would not be major shopping available

Last but not least

Remember your passports!!! If you have any further queries, please leave a comment on this blog post and I will update this posting in a different colour each time.

2006-11-26T00:51:00.000+08:00

HONG KONG - Day 7 - 25 Nov - Saturday
No, we did not manage to change our flight schedule to Wednesday, as such we will be flying back tomorrow. Sigh...

We had a lazy morning and went out for dim sum lunch with aunty Annie, auntie Thelma and James at a restaurant in Tai Koo City Mall. After lunch, aunty Annie tried to arrange for an instructor to teach me ice skating. Unfortunately, no instructor was available as today is a Saturday. In the end, my papa brought me in and taught me how to ice skate (HKD60 per person for 3 hours, inclusive of ice skates).

It was fun! I only fell down a few times and my papa was holding my hands to give me the confidence. Luckily, I was quite brave and daring and by the time I left the skating rink, I could already do the basic walking on ice. I would like to do it again when I return to Singapore - at Jurong East entertainment complex.

After the ice skating, we went back to aunty Annie's house for a quick rest. Thereafter, we took a taxi to this place called Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park. We actually paddled on a boat and fed bread to the fishes. It cost HKD120 per boat. The surrounding scenery was simply great.

Before dinner at the Cricket club with aunty Annie's family, we did bowling at the club. It was good for children because they have a ramp for us to place the ball and it will then roll off to where the pins are. Bowling became a fairly easy game.

Our Chinese dinner was good, and we finally took a photo with aunty Annie's family. The aunty on my right is uncle Richard's sister - aunty Suzanne.

After dinner, we went back home, as we needed to prepare for our departure from Hong Kong early tomorrow morning.

What an eventful day!

Hong Kong - Day 5

2006-11-24T01:19:00.000+08:00

HONG KONG - Day 5 - 23 Nov - Thursday
We woke up at 9.30 to a bright and sunny day - the weatherman is wrong AGAIN. We had bread for breakfast in the room. By the time we finished packing, we checked out of the hotel at 11am and left our luggage with the concierge.

Then, it was back to the park. Today was much more crowded than yesterday - probably due to the sunny weather.

Quick summary of things we did today:
-took the omnibus along the main street, refer right.

-drove the car (my third time) at Autopia with mama - this time round we waited 20minutes before my turn came

-watched PhilhaMagic show - it was simply great as we had to wear special 3D spectacles to watch the movies. The flute played by the band was thrown in our direction and it really seemed to hit us. Also, we were seemed to be on a magic carpet (beauty and the beast) and we could fly up and down the sky in 3D effect!

-had noodles in the park, about HK45 per person. Food was surprising quite tasty.

-went for the carousel, the dumbo, the mad Hatter's teacups (not

thrilling at all)

-watched the Mickey awards - this show was simply great and the dancers and props were really spectacular. They really spent a lot of effort and money on this show.

-went for the Winnie the Pooh journey - very colourful with some nice effects (see right)

- went for the Buzz lightyear again with the entire family

-took the Space Mountain again with my papa.

-took Autopia again (4th time).

-took a old train ride around the Disney park.

-watched the interactive Stitch (of Lilo and Stitch) show (15minutes). pretty cool.

-watched the Christmas light up (finally - after last night's technical glitch). Some carols They also had fake snow (those soap suds at Tanglin Mall) raining down the entire main street. The spectators simply screamed in delight.

And last but not least, we watched the magical fireworks again. It was still as magical! My papa took some more video footage on this.

After the fireworks, my mama and I shopped at the souvenir shops while papa and Tricia went back to the hotel to collect our luggage.

We met up again at the Disney MTR station at about 8.20pm. Went to the mall at Tsing Yi for dinner. Then we took the MTR to Hong Kong station and transferred to a taxi back to the lovely home. Reached the apartment at 1045pm.

As internet was available, I proceeded to update my blog while my memory is still fresh.

P.S. Hee, hee, I overheard my parents saying that we may try to extend our stay here, instead of flying back on Sunday. Aunty Annie has suggested many things that we could still do in Hong Kong. My papa will contact the airlines tomorrow. I will update in my blog soonest.

Hong Kong - Day 4

2006-11-24T00:35:00.000+08:00

HONG KONG - Day 4 - 22 Nov - Wednesday

Warning: this will be a long post

When I woke up at about 8.45, I peeped though the curtain and noticed that there was NO rain - yippee!!! However, the sky was a little gloomy.

We went down to have breakfast in the hotel restaurant (my papa only booked breakfast for today. He did it through the internet to get a 30% discount, which costs HKD100 per adult, after the discount. We will probably buy bread for tomorrow's breakfast).

Before we even started our breakfast, it RAINED!

The buffet breakfast was quite interesting as it was designed in the Walt Disney theme - the walls, the chairs and even some of the food items. The mango pudding and the waffle were cut out in the shape of Mickey.

As we were about to finish our breakfast, the rain stopped. My papa quickly went to buy the Disneyland entrance tickets (HKD295 for adult and HKD210 for child). As there was a promotion on, with this single priced ticket, we could enjoy the park for 2 consecutive days i.e. today and tomorrow.

We took the free shuttle to the park. The walk to the park was a grand one with fountains and trees with very good Disney piped music being played. We immediately felt magic in the air as we went through the turnstiles!!! There were Disney images and characters everywhere! The flower beds were arranged in the shape of Mickey; there were old American trains rolling past, vintage vehicles and omnibus passing us by, quaint western shops flanking both sides of the main street, shops selling Disney souvenirs. Towards the end of the main street is THE famous castle!

We went immediately for the rides as it was not raining then. It was cold, foggy and chilly though. Not to worry, my sister and I were adequately and prettily dressed for the occasion in our nice autumn/winter wear.

Guess what? My first game station was the Space Mountain - the most dangerous. My papa warned me about the scare factor and I assured him that I could take it (come on - I had taken ooo-lar-lar in wild wild wet back in Singapore). My papa and I took the ride in total darkness. It was really thrilling as I shouted my lungs out and clung onto my papa.

During the ride, I felt my tongue rolling out, my heart nearest burst out into my throat and my legs felt wormy. It was very scary! But exciting. But I told papa I do not want to take it again. Look at the photo - I am partially hidden, just beside my papa.

Note: My mama does not dare to try the Space Mountain and went with Tricia to take those boring rides e.g. carousel, dumbo, taking pictures with Disney characters.

I then went to drive a car at the 'Autopia' station. I can drive the nice car that looks like a sports car. As the minimum height to drive a car on one's own is 137cm, I have no choice but to have papa by my side while I drive. Hey, I should not be complaining as my sister could not even enter this one - she is less than 83cm tall, or long.

After my exciting driving experience (I received an official Disney driving licence), I went with Papa to the Buzz Lightyear station. We went round the circuit on a travellator and had to shoot the enemies using the laser gun. My papa won me as he had more than 10,000 points whereas I had about 6,000. He was in given the grade of 3 whereas I had grade 2. Fun!

We then met up with mama again and I recounted what I had done so far. I then went to drive the car at Autopia station again, this time with my mama beside me. My papa carried Tricia and waited at the gallery and he managed to take pictures of me driving my mama around. I can't wait to show all of you my video, which looks better than the photo shown here.

We then walked over to another section and took the Jungle river cruise ship. The signboard said 'May be frightening for kids and you will get wet'. The trip on a wooden boat was very thrilling - but I was quite scared - and told papa and mama that I do not want to take it a second time. By the way, papa and mama were partially wet.

After this ride, it was time for lunch and time for Tricia's beauty nap. We went back to the hotel to have our instant noodles.

At 3pm, it was still sunny (papa watched the weather forecast, which surprisingly says now that there would be no rain and then there will still be rain however, tomorrow). My papa brought me back to Disneyland and we watched the Disney parade. There were many floats and performances arranged by the various Disney stories e.g. one float for Toy stories, one float for Alice in Wonderland. It was very very colourful, but not very exciting for me as I like things that are more interactive.

After the parade, we went to the theatre performance showing 'Lion King'. The 30 minute performance was like a musical (as my papa told me). It was colourful and the props were pretty good (see right).

We then took a wooden raft across the river to climb a treehouse, about 5 storeys high. The view of the surrounding river was rather nice and we could see fire torches placed at regular intervals.

We played Buzz lightyear again, this time with the entire family.

At 6pm, we gathered at the main square for the special christmas tree light up. After 15 mins of wait, they announced that there was a technical glitch and the light up ceremony would be cancelled. The people around me gave a collective SIGH... Do look at a couple of pictures we took while waiting...

We proceeded to the castle to wait for the fireworks display at 7pm. We sat right in front of the castle with an unobstructed view. When the fireworks came, it was truly magical and spectacular. So very different from the ones seen in Singapore which is so boring. My papa manage to take the videos only partially as the fireworks display was too long (about 11 minutes). Too bad we are unable to load the video here. Instead, see a night shot of the castle.

After the fireworks, we took the MTR and had dinner at the shopping mall again. When we reached back to our hotel again, it was about 10pm and we were asleep by 11.30pm.

It was an exciting (though cold and chilly - which was good as Disneyland was thus not crowded at all and we could take many rides. Longest waiting time was only 5 minutes for today) day for us. Hope that the weather will be good tomorrow as we are planning to visit the Disneyland park again tomorrow.

What a magical day!

Hong Kong - Day 3

2006-11-24T00:17:00.000+08:00

HONG KONG - Day 3 - 21 Nov - Tuesday
Oh no! it rained when we woke up - and we were scheduled to go to Disneyland this afternoon till Thursday. My papa checked the weather forecast; more bad news, there is forecast rain for both Wed and Thursday.

We stayed at home in the morning (luckily, there are toys and the playroom to occupy us fully). My papa went out to the nearest mall (10 minutes walk) and pack lunch back for us (Won ton noodles).

After lunch, it continued to pour and we took a taxi to the nearest MTR (our equivalent of MRT) and took the train to Disneyland. See the photos attached and look closely at the handles. At the Disneyland station, we took a free hotel shuttle bus to our hotel.

Unfortunately, it still continued to rain at Disneyland. We checked into our hotel room. We had a room overlooking the sea on the 9th floor (the highest) of Disney Hollywood Hotel. From the exterior, the hotel looks like a blue and ugly factory. My papa said that this was the cheaper hotel where room rate starts from HKD1,100 per room night.

The restaurants in the hotel are very expensive. Buffet dinner costs HKD330 for an adult!

We took the MTR to a nearby town (at Tsing Yi - translated to be green clothes, as my papa told me) and had a wonderful Cantonese dinner at the huge shopping mall (Maritime Square). The entire bill for my whole family cost HKD300.

After dinner, we walked around the mall and bought some snacks, fruits and instant noodles (for our lunch at Disney the next day).

When we returned to the hotel, we saw Goofy and Chip-&-Dale at the lobby and we took some lovely pictures with them. They are so soft and they cuddled me - I was quite embarrassed and shy. Goofy was really cute with his very smooth hand actions!

As it was STILL raining, we hope that the following day would be a sunny one. (Bad news - my papa watched the weather forecast on TV and it was forecast to be rain, rain and rain for both Wed and Thursday - boo! hoo!)

Hong Kong - Day 2

2006-11-23T23:56:00.000+08:00

HONG KONG - Day 2 - 20 Nov - Monday
We woke up after 9 and had bread and peanut butter, orange juice for breakfast. Watched cable TV and very importantly, played with James on his vast collection of toys.

Tricia had porridge (cooked by the domestic helper, aunty Thelma) whereas me, papa and mama walked out to a nearby restaurant to have noodles and rice for lunch. Along the way, I saw many interesting buses and tram cars.

After lunch, we walked towards central (like our CBD in Singapore) and papa went to HSBC to do some banking transactions. At 3.30pm, we took a tramcar (flat rate of HKD1 for me and twice the amount for papa) to Causeway Bay. It was an exciting ride on the very 'skinny' tramcar. It also moved pretty slowly as it could not overtake the tramcar in front, having to move on a fixed tram line. We sat on the upper deck and enjoyed the cool air (at about 20 degrees, like in an air con environment, though more chilly).

At Causeway Bay, we took some tea and snacks and papa brought me up to his office (beside Excelsior Hotel) very briefly. At about 5.30pm, we hailed a taxi and went home.

Aunty Annie and Uncle Richard gave us a welcome dinner at the house. We had home cooked Chinese and Western food, with my favourite corn soup.

While papa continued to talk with auntie Annie and uncle Richard, aunty Thelma brought James, Tricia and me to the playroom on the M floor. It was simply fantastic as we could run up and down the various obstacles (safely encased in cushion).

After the play session, we watched some TV and then went to bed - it was a long day.

Hong Kong - Day 1

2006-11-23T23:40:00.000+08:00

HONG KONG - Day 1 - 19 Nov - Sunday
After much anticipation, we flew to Hong Kong via SQ last Sunday night at 1900hrs. Thankfully, my sister did not create any fuss at all (= no cry, no tantrums, no jet lag, no ear discomfort) and in fact, she did not even need to use the bassinet.

We arrived in Hong Kong airport at 1030hrs and took a airport train to Hong Kong station. My papa bought the Octopus card for tourist (like our EZ link card in Singapore). We then took a taxi to my papa's friends' (aunty Annie, Singaporean and uncle Richard, a New Zealander) house in Wan Chai district (7 mins away). By the time we reached the apartment, it was just after midnight. My sister fell asleep just as the tax was arriving at the apartment.

Wow, the apartment is big and our room is spacious - I immediately noticed that there are many interesting toys. These belong to the little prince of the house, James, who is 2 years old. He is looked after in the day by a domestic helper, Thelma, from the Philippines.

As it was late, we unpacked quickly and slept comfortably. I have already a very good feeling that I will like this Hong Kong trip. Sweet dreams.

P.S. By the way, how is cousin Rui Qi doing after her operation?

Graduation

2006-11-17T16:22:00.000+08:00

I HAVE GRADUATED
Yesterday was my last day in K2 in Clementi. We have received our graduation photo (see attached). Do I look intelligent and smart? Tonight, I am attending our graduation concert to be held at Clementi Community Centre. No, I will not be performing but I will be watching my classmates who are going to dance. I am feeling quite sad and I will miss my fellow classmates. The good thing is that I have given some of them my phone number and we have been having fun calling one another for the past few days!

By the way, end of K2 also means that we will not be staying at block 337, Clementi anymore as my po po has sold the flat. We will be staying at our own flat in Lengkok Bahru till our apartment @ Tiong Bahru is ready next year.

I will be attending my P1 orientation tomorrow at 彰德小学 (Note 1). I am not looking forward to it.

Note 1: If you see some funny characters, don't think I am using some bad words. Click 'View', 'Encoding', 'UTF8' and you will be able to read the Chinese words.

We won 2nd prize for Biennale

2006-11-12T12:13:00.000+08:00

WE WON SECOND PRIZE!
Hooray, we won the 2nd prize in the Singapore Biennale badge hunt contest (I mentioned this in my 27 Oct post) and got ourselves a new Pioneer Home theatre system worth $1000. It will be timely for our new apartment at Tiong Bahru which should be ready in 2007. With this, I can invite my cousins and friends to watch movies at our new house.

I am glad that we won as my papa and I spent quite some time collecting the badges whilst enjoying the art pieces.

Biennale 2006

2006-10-27T16:46:00.000+08:00

BIENNALE 2006
Last Sunday, I went to Tanglin Camp with my family for the Kids' Day Out activity organised by the Biennale committee. It was quite fun as we were given balloons sculpted into some animals. I had a cat whereas Tricia had a wrist bangle.

I also did some origami and my sister and I enjoyed swinging on the hammocks (see photos).

We looked at the exhibits and I really liked the one with the microphone that you can shout into. The louder you shout, the louder the response of the audience would be. I also liked the one with the fish tank and seals. You can actually pop your head 'into' the tank as if you are one of the fishes!

Zi Xuan and I also took a photo with the mascot, Mer Mer and Moc Moc. Mer Mer refers to the Merlion whereas Moc Moc refers to the company that created the mascot, Com & Com.

By the way, my papa and I have collected the Biennale badges (all 95 of them) and took part in the competition - we hope to win one of the top three prizes! Look at the attached photo of the badges - doesn't it look nice?

My piano lesson today

2006-10-07T10:48:00.000+08:00

PIANO LESSON TODAY
My piano lesson this morning did not go very well. For some unknown reason, uncle Alvin (my piano teacher) asked me to play pieces that I had already played last week and not the 3 pieces that I was supposed to play this week (which were the ones that I had practised). Naturally, I played some wrong notes here and there.I had wanted to tell him but I don't know why I did not have the courage to do so. I always have to suffer in silence...can someone teach me how to open up more?

Luckily, uncle Alvin went out of the room to give feedback to my papa and I heard papa telling him that the pieces that I played were old pieces. Uncle Alvin then came back into the room and asked me to play the current pieces in which I did fine.

I think papa is upset with me for not voicing out to uncle Alvin and also for my stubborn behaviour at home this morning before my piano lesson. He has disallowed me to touch the computer this morning - seems that I have to miss my Club Penguin game. Sigh!

Kukup trip

2006-09-24T21:58:00.000+08:00

MY KUKUP TRIP...
Last Saturday morning, I went to Malaysia in aunty Neo's car which was full of stickers. We stopped at the Shell station near the 2nd link and waited for uncle Pau Siong. After the immigration, we stopped at a highway restaurant to wait for other friends of aunty Neo/uncle Alex. My papa bought coffee - the coffee did not taste like Singapore coffee - it was sweeter.

After breakfast, we continued our journey to a place for bak kut teh breakfast. I liked the food because it was hot and it soupy. I strolled around the vicinity of the restaurant with sister Tricia and a cat said 'Meowwww' to her.

We then went to Aunty Neo's house on wooden planks stuck onto a river bed. There was a motor boat and a fishing net and I pretended to fish with mama. It was a windy day. The inside of the house is nice. I saw the toilet and there was a hole dug out - my urine went directly into the sea, which was very strange and funny.

We then took the car to Kukup and parked the cars at a parking shelter for RM5. There was a van waiting for us to take us to near to our kelong. The van was old and non air-conditioned and the chairs were not comfortable at all. The driver also did not close the van door. I enjoyed the the 2-minute journey which was windy. We then walked along a narrow small walkway to our kelong. I felt 'floaty' because the sea water was just below us.

Our kelong did not look like a kelong as described to me by my papa - it looked more like a bungalow. It was a huge with 2 floors. We stayed on the lower floor. Our room had double decker beds with a window view of the sea. It was very cold with air conditioning.

We had a nice lunch at a wide common dining area. They served my favourite herbal chicken soup. Unfortunately, I vomited because I took too much gassy coca cola with my food. After lunch, I sat near the sea to watch the noisy boats go by. I saw some mudskippers on the soft mud when the tide was low. The mud seem to suck things in. I also watched my papa playing mahjong. I also played mahjong with Jia yu (uncle Pau Siong's son who is in primary 5). We built house and castles with the mahjong tiles. It was fun. For tea break, I had hot cheng tng.

Before dinner, papa, mama, popo, ergu, Tricia and I went for a walk. We saw a lot of motorcycles and bicycles driving past us - it was a long walk. I saw some air conditioned houses which I liked. There was a fishy smell which I did not like - I preferred our own 'kelong'.

Back in our kelong, I ate porridge in the bedroom with Tricia. After that, I rested and then joined in the BBQ. I ate satay, chicken wings and agar agar. After that, I sang karaoke (only one song). I like the songs that were played. I ate some BBQ sweet potato with ergu, mama and Tricia in the bedroom.

Near bedtime, I brushed my teeth - there happened to be some garbage nearby and it smelt VERY VERY horrible. I played with Tricia for a little while and then I went to sleep in the upper deck of the double decker bed. It felt very cool as it was nearer to the air conditioner.

Next morning, I woke up early and had breakfast - you tiao (my favourite), bee hoon, milo. I took some photos of mama, Tricia, the kitchen, the sea waves with my papa's camera. I saw a little blue bird near the sea and told my papa. My papa took a photo of the bird.

I then played in the bedroom. I climbed up and down the double decker bed, pretending that it was a double decker bus. I was the driver trying to pick up a passenger (Tricia). I also played obstacle game with my papa using the double decker beds in the room. Level 1 was easy (climbing up the ladder to the upper deck) while level 7 was difficult - jumping from the upper deck of the bed to the upper deck of the next bed. I stopped at level 8 as it was too difficult.

At 1030hours, we went on a boat trip. Mama did not go as she had to look after Tricia. The boat was noisy (brrrrrr brrrrr sound of the noisy engine). It was quieter when we were on the boat. We went to a nearby kelong. The uncle showed us some sea creatures. I dared to hold the king crab and my papa took a photo for me. After that we took a boat back to our kelong. We packed and left the kelong for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. We had crabs, clams, vegetables and fish with rice.

After lunch, we took a car to another restaurant and had Pontian wan ton mee (won ton mee with fish balls!). I just took the fish ball. We then went home to Singapore, stopping at the petrol station for refueling on the way. It was a long journey and I fell asleep in the car. Uncle Alex drove us back to our flat in Lengkok Bahru.

I enjoyed this trip very much and we lived happily ever after.....

3 happy things

2006-09-15T16:27:00.000+08:00

YIPPEE!!
I am very happy this week because of 3 things:

My papa bought me a set of 5 toy army vehicles (for about S$11). They are quite fun as some of them can shoot missiles - we had a fun time last night playing with it. My wish now is that my papa or mama (hope they will read this blog) or whoever out there (hint! hint!) will buy me plastic toy soldiers to complete the set.
We are going to Malaysia next weekend! We will be staying one night at a kelong. My father told me that we will be sleeping out at the sea...
I wonder how we can breathe in the sea?? Need to bathe? How to 'ps' and 'pj'?? Where to eat?I heard that we will be following Auntie Neo's car and that Uncle Pau Siong's family will also be there!
My papa is planning for us to go to Hong Kong during my November school holidays. Yeah!! I can go to Disneyland and Ocean Park! We will most likely be going with my 5th auntie's family. My papa has arranged for all of us to stay in his friend's apartment in central Hong Kong. He is thrilled that we can save some $$$ that way. I can't wait for November to come along.....

LIZARD!
Yan ming sit on a lizard it is funny and i think so too!

I can be quite 'funny' sometimes

2006-09-07T20:27:00.000+08:00

I CAN BE QUITE ADORABLE
I was reading cousin Rui Qi's blog under her archived postings when I found that I was featured!! It really showed off my quirky / spontaneous side, even though I am normally a very shy boy. Have a look at the attachment on the right [in it, 'my uncle' is my papa whereas 'my cousin' is me]. How??

If you are not convinced, let me share with you another incident that happened sometime ago. I saw a lucky draw being held somewhere and I asked my mama what a lucky draw meant (remember, I am only 6 years old....even though people say that I sometimes write and act as though I am 40). The top prize was a car and my idea was that the car would be mine if I participated in the draw (a very delicious thought indeed).

My mama tried her best to explain to me in simple terms and did not really know whether I understood or not when I suddenly blurted out:

WAH.....I DON'T NEED ANY LUCKY DRAW...... I ALREADY HAVE A MOST WONDERFUL PAPA IN THE WORLD....BETTER THAN ANY LUCKY DRAW.

I could then see my mama bursting into laughter. Was it really funny????

P.S. Afternote to my last blog on swimming: my papa really talked to my swimming instructor - he told my papa that my progress was fine. In any case, he did spend more time with me...hooray!!

Swimming and piano lessons

2006-09-03T19:32:00.000+08:00

MY CCA

My parents started me on swimming and piano classes about 2 months ago:

Swimming: I enjoy the swimming lessons (at Clementi public pool) as my instructor (uncle Rand) is a nice person and acts like a child. So far, I have had 4 lessons but I still do not know how to swim yet. Tell you a secret: last week, my papa was slightly upset that I did not have the chance to swim much during the one-hour session. As I see it, the 'problems' are as follows:

uncle Rand is coaching about 6 other more experienced kids together with me (they wear pyjamas to swim!); as such his attention is naturally divided
when uncle Rand is coaching me, 2 of the students always interrupt and distract him by clinging to him (and uncle Rand entertains and humour them!)

The result is that I do not get quality time from uncle Rand. I think last Tuesday's session was the worst so far - I only practised for 20 minutes out of the one-hour session. The rest of the time, I was quietly sitting by the side of the pool, watching other people in action (actually, I do feel a little silly, cold and left out, sob....sob).

I think my papa may voice out his concerns to uncle Rand next week.....

Piano: I am learning piano in a small music studio near my Bukit Merah flat and my teacher is uncle Alvin. His voice is very LOUDDDDD and he likes to say "WONDERFUL!......FANTASTIC!......." and counts "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR..." with much gusto. He also gives me stickers every week (my favourite part of the 45-minute session). After each lesson, he will 'talk' to my papa. I overheard him say things like 'he is learning very well.......let him practise more, short sessions with greater frequency....he must improve on his sitting posture, bend his fingers, cut his nails....'.

Somehow, I do not like to practise - papa and mama always need to nag alot before I sit in front of the piano.

I prefer swimming to piano. In fact, before the session yesterday, I was asking my papa if the piano lesson would be cancelled if there is heavy rain [papa looked at me with a poker face and said no, not even thunderstorm nor flooding as the session is held indoors].

Note: you see, my swimming lesson was cancelled once last month due to rain.....I was very sad.... Last week, when my piano class was cancelled as uncle Alvin was busy, I was on cloud nine!!

Tricia's photo

After I published my photo yesterday, cousin TX requested for my sister's, so here it is, Tricia (taken when she was 6 months old in Dec 05).

I was about to go the extra mile by inserting photos of my papa and mama but was given the 'do-it-and-I-smack-you' look by my papa, which means I better not do it (at least for now when he is looking).

Adjustments are ongoing

As a newbie (btw, see my tastefully naked photo on the right), I am still in the process of understanding how the HTML template works, how to put in a photo and doing some adjustments here and there....be patient, okay??

My first post

MY FIRST POST!!!
Hello all uncles and aunties out there in the world - I have finally done up my own blog (thanks to pointers here and there from my cousin Rui Qi). The process was actually quite simple and best of all, it did not cost my papa and mama anything. Now, I can start blogging and soaking myself in the wonders of technology.

Even a 6-year-old knows.....
I do not understand why some parents do not allow their children from setting up blogs. If only they can cast away some deep seated prejudice and try to set up their own blog, they will realise that a lot can be learnt:

Learn a programming language: When I chose the blog template I liked and loaded into my blog, I realised that the lines of computer code (HTML programming) were done up for me. By studying and varying the syntax of the codes, I could actually alter the contents, fonts and colours of my blog!
Resourcefulness: I wanted to know how many people will visit my site and also a tagboard where I can communicate with my friends out there. My cousin Rui Qi directed me to a few sites where I could actually get it. The process of obtaining these add-ons were easy - it normally gives you a part of the HTML code where you can then copy and paste into your existing code!
An outlet to express and communicate: The blog is a great way for us to express our internal feelings and thoughts (sometimes it is not easy to open up fully to our parents, you know) with our friends out there. Do not be overly alarmed with some of the coarse language that we may use - it really releases a lot of our pent-up angst that we feel occasionally; all part of the process of growing up ....learning to be like an adult......arrrgggghhh!!!!
Understand boundaries: We do know the powers of the internet and that there may be unsavoury elements lurking out there. As such, we will not be so STOOOOPID as to put in anything too private that will hurt or demean our own self worth, both physically and mentally. We will use our blain (sorry, brains) fully and properly and learn to stay within the right boundaries as we go along!

So, dear parents out there, please try to understand that times are different now - do not impose your 'dinosaur-era' views on us blindly - else we could become rebels and still do things without your knowledge.....and then put up a pretty goody-two-shoes persona in front of you to make you and your relatives happily salivating away. Isn't this worse and sad for all??? See, even a 6-year-old knows....
