Hmm...

One year has passed, now its almost the December holidays.

My auntie is back from England and we are going 'Go Carting' today.

I don't know what to make for her to bring back to England.

I love holidays, especially December.

I hope we are going somewhere for a holiday!

Immunization Day

Today, I had my immunization and health check-up.

It was fantastic.

Firstly, I could miss lessons.

Secondly, I could SEE who would cry and who wouldn't at the injection station!

My September One Week Holidays

My September one week holidays were great!

I got to stay in a fabulous condominium with a great swimming pool.

We brought lots of stuff as we were not staying in a hotel.

It was so cool!

I even brought my piano there too practice!

We swam every day.

I am so sad holidays past so quickly.

One school day is like a million years while a week of holidays are like only 1 hour!

I am looking forward to my December holidays but then I'll have to take my Abacus exam.

Last year I went to Hong Kong and missed the exam...

It cost $20 and NO refund...

A Memorial Trip to Singapore's NDP Preveiw

On Saturday, 11th July 2009, we were to arrive at school at 2:00pm for an excursion to watch Singapore's National Day Parade Preview.

I brought along a Hello Kitty Bag with these things inside it: a water bottle, some bread, sweets, a poncho, a cap and most importantly, a thermometer.

Why is the thermometer so important?

Its the H1N1 period!

If we take our temperatures and realize we have a fever, we are not allowed to enter the stadium.

I was sooo excited!

On that day, I reached the school, took our temperature and waited for a long, long time.

Finally, our class set off.

In the bus, my friend played with a hand phone.

Oh yes! I brought also brought along a Sony hand phone which my mother borrowed from her colleague with lots of phones which she doesn't need.

It was very cool having a phone for my own as I do not have one.

We alighted at the Esplanade ( a Singapore tourist attraction), and started walking all the way to the Marina Floating Stadium.

It was a long, long way (by foot).

Along the way, we saw dark and heavy clouds coming our way.

We predicted it would rain, because we were so hot, but it did not.

When we reached the stadium, it then started to rain.

Our seats were wet and we were forced to seat on them.

I did not expect it to rain, but I didn't know more was coming our way!

We were told to put on our ponchos and we did.

About two minutes later, the drizzle stopped.

We took out our ponchos.

We again waited until 5:00pm for the show to start.

Meanwhile, we received out fun pack.

It was packed with some fun stuff that we use in the show like the drum with a drumstick in the shape of a cute bean and a heart that could light up in either red or white.

If everybody turns on their 'hearts', believe me, look around and its really, really beautiful.

Too bad I can't capture it on the camera from my phone.

Everything was far too small.

The fun pack was also filled with lots of sweets, a magazine, tattoos, a rubbish bag, an extra poncho, packet drinks and of course, Singapore's National Flag,

The show started.

We saw the Red Line, a parachuting team which parachuted from a very high distance.

We saw the dances, formations, the marching , the acting and of course the constant fireworks that appeared at every ending of a 'chapter'.

Mark Lee and Michelle Chong was there!

Once in a while it drizzled and as usual only for a few minutes, so I decided that during the next drizzle, I would not put on my poncho.

Who knows? The next drizzle was didn't stop and instead became a downpour!

I was drenched from my head to my sloppy toes and so were my friends.

The weird thing is that the downpour came exactly at the final fireworks!

It was the first heavy downpour for Singapore since the hot seasons of May and June.

I was struggling to put on my poncho and look at the beautiful fireworks and cover my ears at the same time.

Too bad I couldn't cover my ears.

It was the first time I did not cover my ears and I enjoyed it very much.

It was a great experience being showered with heavy rain and confetti under the light and sound of the fireworks.

When it was over, we had to wait in the rain for all the people to disperse and then we could go.

We kept complaining and groaning about being so cold and 'I didn't expect this!', but underneath I knew this was the experience of my life and was extremely fun.

We walked to where we alighted before and boarded the bus.

We were delayed and my parents were already waiting for me in school.

I fetched my friend home as the rain was too heavy for her parents to fetch her.

Oh yes, and my fun pack was totally wet, especially the magazine, torn and soggy.

It was really a good experience and I am really very lucky to be a Singaporean Primary 5 this year to get to watch the show and experience the DOWNPOUR!
