I had an extremely fun and exciting holiday!I went to JB,The Pulai Deseru. I stayed there for 4 days three nights.I played the pool table with my brother even though I was under 16 years old. Then, I went to the swimming pool. As I had been there about14 or 15 times, I was used to everything there;the pool table, the swimming pool, the beach, thefood there and all the facillities over there.
when I was at the pool, I metmy kinergarden friend, Wen Min. She had two brothers too!we played the whole morning until it was time to go.
In the afternoon, me, my father and brother played tennis at the tennis court there.we also had a great time too!
On tuesday,which is the second last day, we met again and went down the slide altogether! It was quite a bit scary sliding down.
On the last day, we packed up and went to check out. I wished that my parents could bring me there again!

My Reflection on Earthquakes
Causes of Earthquake
An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth.
It is caused by underground volcanic action. It can also caused by the
breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface.
What to do when there is an earthquake
In order to protect yourself during an earthquake, you must remember the following rules : “ Drop, Cover, and Hold On!”.
These rules help during quakes that cause furniture to move about rooms, and even in buildings that might ultimately collapse.
Dropping means go down on your hands and knees.
Covering means covering your head (and your body by being under a strong table if possible).
Holding means holding onto furniture (even if it is moving).
In cases where an earthquake is less violent, you might be able to move to a safer place (e.g. away from breaking windows, etc) as you drop to the floor, cover your head, and hold on to a solid object.
If you are trapped in a collapsed building :--
Do the following :-
- protect your airway against dust and debris.
This can be done by breathing through clothing or material (preferably a dust mask if one
has been stored near their desk, bed, or other accessible location).
- check yourself for injuries. If there is bleeding, control the bleeding.
- find a source of light if possible.
- make your location known to rescuers by tapping on a solid object with a rock or other
instrument.
- save your breath and energy. Delay yelling for help until you hear rescuers very nearby.
Can earthquakes be detected
Earthquakes can be detected but not predicted.
It is difficult for scientists to predict when large earthquakes will occur with any kind of reliability or precision needed to warn communities of impending disasters.
However, animals can predict earthquake. Some signs to watch out for:-
- catfishes moving violently
- chickens stop laying eggs
- bees leaving their hive in a panic
- Pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground
shook, barking or whining for no apparent reason.
Places where earthquakes occurred
Earthquakes have struck cities and countries such as Los Angeles, Alaska, California, Java, Mexico, Sumatra, Japan, Italy, Greece and the recently, China.
Why earthquakes occurred in those countries
Those countries experienced earthquakes because of their geological position which lie on the earthquake belt.
Earthquake and Singapore
Singapore will not experience any earthquake because its geological position does not lie on the earthquake belt.However, when Sumatra experience one, Singapore would experience a mild vibration.

My School Canteen Food
Well, the food in the canteen is not very clean. However, the truth is: The food there is tasty! I have been eating food in the canteen for the past two years! My favourite stall is stall no. one, stall no. five and stall no. eight.
I like these stalls because I am not allergic to the food they sell. By the time I have eaten the food from either one or two stalls, my stomach is already filled!
I do not think the drinks at the canteen is clean. I only buy packet drinks . I just feel that the stall owner do not wash the cups properly.
However, the food and drinks there are healthy. It can be a healthy diet. There are fruits, balance meal like nasi lemak, noodle soup, rice and dishes. They do not sell sweets and other unfavourable tidbits.
I hope to have food like spaghetti, udon, roti prata and pizza sold in the canteen.
I think the school should have renovated the canteen during the June holidays .
They should put more stalls and more lights. The canteen should be well lit. It is very dim and gloomy, especially when the sky overcast, the canteen is like a haunted house.
The colour of the canteen should not be blue. It should have bright colour on the wall to bring out the happiness in each children. The blue colour wall make the pupils gloomy and dull.

HFMD
Hand , foot and mouth disease is a very serious illness that will cause you to fall sick. It may even cause death. We must always practice good hygiene. As for me , I was sick last week due to throat infection. I got the virus from my brother.
The next day, I felt a bit better. But , I was also not able to exercise or exert myself. I was very upset as I could not enjoy my favorite sport, tennis.
On Sunday, I felt even better. I was feeling even more energetic. Now , I am ready to go to school!!!

Friends are also to accompany you when you are lonely.
My Best Friend
My best friend is Jason. He is also my tennis-playmate. We spend time together during recess. When I have difficulties in my work, he is the only one who come forward and help me.
Jason is my class monitor. He is a very disciplined, happy, hardworking and cheerful boy. He has a Chinese father and a Korean mother. His father is working in Korea. His mother is not very good at English. He is the one who translates English to Korean and vice versa for her.
He is also very helpful. He likes to draw and he is very creative. He can keep secrets. He wears a pair of glasses. He does not laugh at me when I get low marks for my test. Instead, he will correct my mistakes. He is also not selfish and is kind and caring.
I wish that I can grow up with him. I enjoy being his friend. I hope that I will be same class with him for the next few years in Anderson Primary School.

International Friendship Day
Two days ago was a very special day. It was the International Friendship Day ! It was the day to recognize your friends and their contribution to your life.
Friendship helps to bring peace and positivity to the globe. Hence it is a great reason to celebrate!
Children from all over the world celebrate International Friendship Day in all ways.
This year, in Anderson Primary School, there is a donation drive to the needy families for one of the Primary Schools in Philippines. Mr. Yazid, one of our school teachers initiated the drive by asking students to donate some stationeries and used story books.
As for me, I donated three bags of used story books and a bag of new and used stationeries. Besides pencils, I donated ten new rulers, two boxes of new erasers, a few packets of crayons and colour pencils, a few pencil cases, drawing blocks and a few sharpeners. I am proud that I had done my part to help them and make these children happy.
During recess, there was a Tae-Kwan-Do demonstration in the hall by a few secondary pupils. They showed us a few ways to defence and attack. After that, a few pupils went up the stage to challenge them. Some of them were thrown onto the ground. They had put up a fantastic performance.
I enjoyed this year's International Friendship Day. It is somehow different from the previous years. I hope more students will contribute to the donations.
A pencil, a sharpener, an eraser or a used story book does not seem important and mean much to us, however, it means a lot and it is very valuable to the needy children in Philippines.
