Characters: Amelia Bedelia, Mr Lane, Mrs Lane, Mrs Carters and Missy.
Summery:
Amelia Bedelia was given the job to baby-sit Missy. She was reluctant at first but she was told that babies were the same as children and Amelia Bedelia loves children. She decided to take the job but she makes a mess out of it. Instructions were given to put baby powder on Missy but instead she puts it on herself!

This is a funny and amusing story for children to enjoy.

Famous Five( Five on a Secret Trail)- Book Review

Title: Famous Five-Five on a Secret Trail

Five on a Secret Trail (Famous Five)Author: Enid Blyton

Characters: George( Georgina), Anne, Timmy the dog, Julian and Dick.

Summery:
Anne and George were bored having a holiday without their favourite cousins, Julian and Dick, and George was convinced that there would be no mystery to solve without her to cousins around. A few days later, Julian and Dick arrived at Kirrin Cottage to join George and Anne! Poor Timmy had cut his ear and had to wear a cardboard collar and everyone that saw him teased and laughed at him. George was fed up and decided to camp out with her cousins. While they were camping, they discovered a gang of thieves were planning to steal some valuable blueprints! Find out whether the five solved the mystery... I think this story is a little scary but they exaggerate the story so that it is very exciting!

Mystery Pantomime CatAuthor: Enid Blyton

Characters: Fatty( Frederic), Bets( Elizabeth), Pip, Larry, Daisy, Buster the Dog, Mr Goon( Old Clear-orf), Pantomime cat( Boysie), Zoe, Alec Grant, Peter Watting, William Orr, Lucy White and PC Pippin.

Summery:
Fatty and the four 'Find- Outers' decided to set up a pretend mystery for the new police officer, PC Pippin. But another mystery was in the making! The manager of the Little Theater was drugged to sleep and his money was stolen from the safe behind a wall mirror. Mr Goon, forced poor Boysie to make a false confession.

The Mystery of the Missing Necklace- Book Review

Title: The Mystery of the Missing Necklace

The Mystery of the Missing Necklace (Mysteries)Author: Enid Blyton

Characters: Fatty( Frederic), Daisy, Larry, Bets( Elizabeth), Pip, Buster the dog and Mr Goon( old Clear-orf).

Summery:

The 'Five Find-Outers' as they call themselves are on to a mystery again! Fatty the best disguiser in the group, disguises himself into a balloon woman followed by a short, sniffing old man who is a message bearer of the dangerous gang of thieves who stole a very expensive diamond necklace from the museum and many others. The Five Find-Outers soon tackled who the five thieves were, and they also searched the waxworks gallery from head to toe to find the missing necklace.Guess who found it? Little nine year-old Bets! Where did she find it? On the neck of the waxwork figure Queen Elizabeth! I think this story is very interesting and once you start the book you can't put it down until you've finished! I really look forward to reading more of Enid Blyton books. Get the book to read a more detailed version.

Trip to Genting and First Ride on Roller Coaster

On 15-18 of November, I was enjoying at Genting Highlands.

Genting is on a Mountain in Malaysia and its touching the clouds!

The temperature there was colder than in Singapore.

There were two theme parks there: Indoor theme park and Outdoor theme park.

My family booked the 'All Park (full day)' ticket.

That means that as long as we have that ticket, we can play in both theme parks from 8.00am to 12.00pm!

I sat on the Corkscrew( outdoor roller coaster that goes upside down) once, adult bumper car twice, Euro Express( indoor roller coaster) twice, Gondola( boat) once, Ferris wheel once, antique car once, mini train once, reindeer ride once, Space Shot( a ride that goes so high you can see all the buildings then goes down super fast and takes your breath away) once and the Spinner once.

Wow! I took so many rides!

I came home feeling nauseous.

Hong Kong Trip and Video Training

In school, there is this video training and Hong Kong trip.

We are supposed to go for a video training to learn how to sing a song about Mama Earth.

We also learn some video camera* tricks and tips.

We will then choose the people to be presenter, props, makeup artist camera crew and the singers and actors.

I chose to be a singer in the chinese team.

The song goes something like this: "Hands together, hearts together, ......"

I do not regret choosing chinese because I think it is more interesting than the English song.

In Hong Kong, we would be sleeping in hotels with our two other roommates.

I'm so excited....
