My Chinese New Year

Weeks before Chinese New Year, we did spring cleaning. A few days before Chinese New Year, for four consecutive days, my brother and I helped my mother to make New Year cookies. We started with chocolate chips cookies followed by cashew nut cookies and semprit biscuit.

My mother bought two pineapples to be placed in the house to symbolise good luck. We had three boxes of mandarin oranges to give friends during new year as a way of wishing them good luck.

My father planted four red radish in pots. This symbolises the abundance of luck .

First day of Chinese New Year, after our lunch of Longevity Noodles, we prayed at a temple Waterloo Street. The temple was very crowded.

The days were spent eating the cookies that I baked and watching movies at home and having lots of fun.

Total defence day

Yearly,on 15 February, Total Defence day falls on Singapore. It is the day when the Japanese invade Singapore in 1942. Singapore commemorate Total Defence Day to remember that everybody can play a part to defend Singapore.

I would like to defend my family, my home, my neighbourhood and my country from harm and wish everybody to live in a peaceful country. I must show respect and care towards my family members and the society and always be ready for emergency.

In times of threat or crisis, apart from defending and protecting our love ones, we should also protect and defend our cherished and closed bonds with each other.

I think everybody should adhere to the school values. We should display good manners to teachers and friends. We should behave well and listen attentively during lessons.

I believe in the school values as everybody needs all the values in order to become
a future-ready pupil.

Students should always remember the school values when engaged in any activities both in and outside school. We should behave ourselves even we are outside our school compound by not playing at the bus stop, running and making noise in the void deck and misbehaving during excursions.

I can live up to the school values by paying attention in class, be a sincere and helpful person and always show respect to people who are older than me, especially the elderly.


To help us learn this values, the teacher can tell us more about famous people who possess these values so that we can follow their way of living as role models through stories telling, slides, videos, dramas put up by students, exhibitions and visits to National Library to look for and borrow books on these famous people.

My December Holidays

During my December holidays, I went to Bintan Island, Indonesia. I travelled there by ferry. The ferry journey was short and fun . The waves was not rough and choppy. when I arrived, it was only 9:15 a.m. I did not eat anything since waking up. When I reached my hotel, I was amazed by the scenery and the marvellous pool overlooking the sea.

In the evening, when it was low tide, we went to the rock pools to explore and look for living organisms. We were facinated with all the living things we saw. We spotted two pairs of fishes swimming vertically, many tiny fishes, a butterfly fish, a large prawn which was camouflaged in between the seaweed, a blue crab and even a baby octopus!!

The next day, after my sumptuous breakfast, I swam in the pool. There was a jacuzzi,a pool bar and a perfect spot to play water polo. I enjoyed the jacuzzi and went to the beach. I dug a hole as deep as my hip level while my brother built a pyramid.

For the next two days, the weather was bad.It was raining and the wind was blowing strongly. We played in the pool instead of the beach in case we caught a cold.

When I returned home, I felt very relax and a deep sense of satisfaction. I really enjoyed myself a great deal at Bintan. I wish I could go there again. However, I wish the means of transport to the island would be a better one.

The one week holiday......oh yeah!

Well....., during my third term one week holiday, I did not go anywhere as my brother is having his PSLE. His exam is just around the corner. However, I have an interesting experience to tell you.

On Tuesday, it was my mother's birthday!!! In order to celebrate her birthday, we went to a Japanese restaurant,"Sakura" to have our Buffet Lunch. The food there was great. It had a wide spread of selections. These includes Sushi, Udon, seafood, 16 different types of drinks, desserts, Ebi (deep fried prawns in batter), crab meat, steamed 'Pao' (dumplings) and Chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg), roast chicken, mushroom soup, ice-cream, laksa, roast duck, grilled seafood and wide selection of warm cooked dishes like fried rice, vegetables and many more.

Whew! we had a spectacular time there stuffing ourselves silly with those different types of food. I enjoyed it so much that I even had 5 servings of ice-cream!

My parents promised us that we would go there again on my father's birthday too. I really enjoyed myself there. Too bad you guys were not there with me.........


Other activities which I did during the holidays was playing tennis with my father and brother.

We also visited the library during the holiday weekend as this was like a ritual after our tennis game every week.

The Biejing Olympics 2008

This years' Olympics is held at Beijing. The opening ceremony was on the 8th August 2008 and at 8 p.m. It is an important sporting event as people from different countries get a chance to compete with each other .

Well, in this Olympics, Singapore had won a silver medal. By the looks on the faces of Li Jiawei, Wang Yuege and Feng Tianwei, we know that they had tried their best to get the gold medal but did not.

Another amazing thing is that Michael Phelps who has won EIGHT GOLD MEDALS! WOW! He's truly our Olympic champion.

I've ever seen an Olympic event on TV. The sport was table tennis. It was very exciting.

I think Michael Phelps impressed me the most. He had put in a lot of effort to win eight gold medals. We are very proud of him.

In my dreams, I've always been thinking of participating in the Olympics. I would like to take part in table tennis. I think it is a fun sport.

I will always remember Michael Phelps advice, ”Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is just imagination.”
