Ben Ben Kor Kor and I in Korea during our Mid Term holidays.

Relief.....and relaxation time...

Finally finished my piano exams.... Yeeehhhhh!!!

Now can rest and relax....

(Sorry no pictures, Mami was to busy shouting hooray and forgot about it.)

Swimming Training

I have joined my Kor Kor for swimming training 4 times a week since September this year. I didn't like it at first because it was tiring. Now, I am a little better. However, I will not go for training if my Kor Kor doesn't go for training.

My Kor Kor has just left for Malacca for a swimming competition. Dadi brought him there. He was so excited to go. I did not participate because I will be taking my Yamaha Grade 8 exam in a few days time. Mami said I have to be more hardworking in my swimming training so that I can join Kor Kor for competitions soon.

I like playing in the pool. I just don't like training.

Chinese New Year - In School

My school was very well decorated for Chinese New Year celebration. All our classes were decorated too.

Pictures before church

My Ah Mah loves to take pictures before going to church.

My Birthday

My birthday was on 25th February 2016. We celebrated at home with my family. I was very happy.

Claris Ensemble Fest 2016

I participated in the Claris Ensemble Fest 2016. I played a duet song "The Grandfather's Clock" with my friend, John. We practiced hard and played well.

Do you see my photo on the banner?

Future Drummer

I have just started taking drum lessons. I hope that I can be a drummer in the future.

My First Academic Award in School

2nd in position and Best in Mathemetics

Kor Kor and I won Kumon Award for Mathematics
For being 5 years in advance.

My First Debut as a Drummer

You would never believe that I was able to learn to play the drums within a week. It wasn't a fancy rhythm, but I managed to play well.

Over the past few months, Mami and Aunty Madeleine (our Head of Children Ministry in church) were preparing the young children ages 6 and below to present a song in church. As expected, Benjamin Kor Kor was their pianist. Just two weeks before the presentation, a guitarist came forward to participate in the presentation. I was suppose to be handling the powerpoint slides for the presentation. However, just a week before the presentation, another child wanted to handle the powerpoint slides. I handed over the task and went to the drums instead. Mami called our church drummer to immediately teach me a few beats on the drums, and there I was already blending well with the rest.

I was very proud for being able to learn it within minutes. I felt great playing the drums. I hope to be able to play the drums in the future. I am not sure if Mami would send me for any drum lessons though.

Me on the drums.

Little Moussie During Supper Time

Shaun Shaun has a habit of eating supper. Shaun Shaun loves to eat, love to snack all the time. Perhaps that is why Mami says Shaun Shaun is very chubby.

Shaun Shaun recently acquired an interest of frying eggs. Shaun Shaun can fry eggs quite well now. Practice makes perfect.

Shaun Shaun prepared my own supper recently. Shaun Shaun is very proud of my supper. Come and see my photos.

Yummy yummy

40 days Prayer and Fasting by NECF

We received the 40-days Prayer and Fasting Children's edition from church. Mami encouraged us to participate in the 40 days prayer and fasting for the love of our nation.

We have been going through this book. Everyday, we would pray for a particular Ministry or State in Malaysia. Generally, it is to pray for our country, Malaysia. We also took up the challenge to fast. Ben Ben Kor Kor and I did not agree to fast our meals. Food is just too important for us. We cannot sacrifice our food. However, after much negotiation, we agreed to fast supper. We are not allowed to eat after 8:15 p.m. at night during the 40 days period. We also agreed to fast IPAD. No playing games or internet. We only use the IPAD if we need to do research for school purposes.

Today is 15th September. Yeay!!! Am so happy. My fasting will be over soon. It has been so difficult for me to fast. Takes lots of discipline from me.

Do You Know The Roti Man

Have you seen a man riding a motorcycle, carrying lots of different types of bread and junk food, honking around your neighbourhood?

I saw a few times, along my Ah Ku's house few weeks ago. I saw my cousins, Ashley Cheh Cheh and Tobin Kor Kor coming out from their house, buying bread and snacks. When I pointed them out, my Ah Mah told me it was the Roti Man and Ah Ku and Mami used to buy bread in a similar way.

I longed for the Roti Man to come to the road where my house was. I hoped for it, and I was delighted to hear the honking sound by the Roti Man last week. I immediately ran to the entrance and wanted to experience the trill of buying bread in such a way.

I am so glad I am able to experience what Dadi and Mami experienced when they were younger. Sometimes, they tell me stories of their childhood, which I could only hear but could not imagine.

So friends, do open your hears to the honking sound around your neighbourhood. Who knows... you may be surprised to see the Roti Man just riding along your lane.

My Little Pony

You would not believe this, but my favourite cartoon is My Little Pony.

I recently discovered a new channel in HYPPTV channel 555 - Boomerang. I love this channel. It has a number of good cartoons like Mr Bean, Tom & Jerry, Inspector Gadget and my favourite... My Little Pony. Mami kept saying that My Little Pony is a girl's cartoon but it doesn't matter to me. I still enjoy the cartoon very much. My favourite as at today. Try watching it and you would agree with me.

A Passion for Cooking

I have interest in going to the kitchen once in a while, and request for Ah Mah to teach me how to cook. I am not good in it, but at least I have the interest to try.So far, I am quite good in frying eggs. My recent attempt was to fry broccoli.

Ah Mah is really pleased with me. She loves cooking, and she loves to see me come into the kitchen to volunteer to cook.

VeggieTales Devotion for Kids

One day, I requested to go to the bookstore in Gardens. We went to Borders. I had no book to buy in mind, but somehow I saw this book which caught my attention.

I took this book and brought it to Mami. I told her that I wanted to read this book. Mami took the book and showed to Dadi. They then agreed that they will use this as our daily devotion time before bedtime. We bought it.

We have started this devotion book, and Kor Kor and I enjoyed it. It is easy to understand, very practical and easy for me to read on my own too.

Uniqlo Star Wars TShirts

This is a long overdue post but I would want to record this here.

During the last school holiday, my Ah Mah followed Ah Ku's family for a holiday to Taiwan. Ah Ku and Ah Kim bought us two Star Wars Tshirts from Uniqlo Taiwan each for Kor Kor and I. I was happy because I am a fan of Star Wars. It was later that Mami realised that Uniqlo sold the Tshirts here too, but the sizes ran out really quickly.

Here is a picture of us wearing Star Wars TShirts. Tobin Kor Kor's Tshirt was also from Uniqlo Taiwan.

Do forgive our "old fashioned" hairstyles. Our hair were still wet, and
Mami loves to comb our hair like that because
it reminds her of our late Ah Kong.

Random Picture

I just want to share a random picture. Mami likes this photo of Kor Kor and I in our pyjamas. We were taking turns to play FIFA Football game on the Ipad. So, while waiting for my turn, I sat on my Kor Kor... so excited to see the football match. I must have been very light, because there was no complains from Ben Ben Kor Kor.

Holiday in Hard Rock Penang

We had a 3 days 2 nights holiday in Penang. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was one of the best hotel for me. I enjoyed it very much because of the pool slides.

I love swimming in the pool because it had multiple pools. There was a pool with 3 slides, a sand pool and a deeper end pool. I particularly loved the pool slides. It was fun. Though it was during the school holidays, it was not overly crowded, and there was hardly any queue to the slides.

We went to the beach. It was clean. We enjoyed the rides at the beach. We had the viper and banana boat ride. It was costly, but it was great fun. I was shocked to see Ben Ben Kor Kor's reaction. He was not very brave. I sat in front for both rides because Kor Kor was fearful that he would fall off the boat.

We spent a good amount of time in the Hard Rock Teens Club. It had Billiard tables, Futsal table, PSP and a Mini Theatre. I loved to play billiards and watch movies in the mini theatre. Would you believe that I won a billiard tournament against Ben Ben Kor Kor? Here is my evidence.

The food was ok, but very costly. Breakfast was provided and the selection was good enough for me. I ate nasi lemak (plain without sambal) and roti canai (with dhal) the most. I took pancakes too. I did not fancy the sausages, ham and hash brown. They were not really my favourite.

It was a good holiday for me. Kor Kor and I enjoyed ourselves.

Frying An Egg

At what age did you learn to fry an egg?

As for me, I am 7 years old and Mami has taught me how to fry an egg. This is the result of my first attempt. I must say, I was way better than my Ben Ben Kor Kor. I was really proud of my achievement.
