My Family's History

While we were eating breakfast, my mother told me some true stories about my mother's father's father, in other words, my great grandfather.

My great grandfather owned a restaurant, was a trader and was a firework expert.

Before the war, they bought a 150kg packet of rice to survive the war.

Unfortunately, he was caught by the Japanese soldiers and suffered alot.

But the Japanese heard that he was a firework expert and asked him to build an explosive, but my great grandfather refused.

After much discussion, the Japanese soldiers asked him to built a tiny explosive to deflate a tyre.

My great grandfather had no choice but to call all his workers to help make this explosive.

This was a good thing too, because after this collaboration, my great grandfather had great relationship with the Japanese soldiers and did not suffer alot.

The Holidays are Almost Over

Awww...

Only four more days to school!

I am so nervous...

Who is my new teacher?

Who are my new classmates?

Are they what I hope for?

Will there be alot of homework?

So many questions to ask!

I hope 2009 would be better than 2008...

I feel that when we do the things we don't like to do, time passes by very quickly.

But when we do the things we love, a whole month passes so quickly!

2008's December holiday was the best because I had been to the most places these holidays.

My Sleepover at My Neighbour's

Yesterday was Christmas and I enjoyed it very much.

First, my presents were cool!

My gugu gave me a secret diary and so did my auntie.

My grandma gave me a cross-stitch kit.

Next, my sister and I slept over at my neighbours house for the first time!

We played games and the next morning, we ate breakfast there too!

It was the greatest Christmas ever!

Don't Look Back! - Book Review




Title: Don't Look Back!

Author: Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore

Illustrator: Tony Ross

Characters: Perce( Priscilla), Andy, Well'ard, Mr Latimer, Eddie, Eurydice, Orpheus, Charon, Persephone, Hades and Zeus.

Summery:
Four kids were on a school trip learning about history. They took the wrong way and found a busker with a lyre singing about a person they have just learned about-Eurydice(Yuri-Di-Chee). When the children asked who he was, he claimed he was Orpheus, a three thousand year old goddess. They helped him find the hidden door to the Hades to get Eurydice, his beloved back. Would the Lord of Hades let her go? Read the book to find out! I think this book is interesting and amusing, especially Well'ard.

I'm Back From Hong Kong!

I'm back from Hong Kong!

Let me tell you about my trip...

When I was on the aeroplane to Hong Kong, I felt dizzy and my ear felt like it was going to pop.

I was welcomed by a famous actor from Hong Kong, Nancy Sit. (家燕)

On the second day, I visited the TVB studio.

On the third day, we went to...

Disneyland!

It was so fun!

I love the Space Mountain ( roller coaster) and Mad hatter's Teacups.

I just simply love it!

In the teacup ride, other teacups have stopped spinning except us!

The fireworks there was marvelous!

On the last day we went to the Science Museum in HK and the History Museum, followed by a secondary school, QualiEd College.
