English Week 2015

This is probably my happiest post for the year. I am happy because this is a good achievement to me, though it may seem little to some.

My school organised an English Week last week. There were several activities for us to participate. I won 4 prizes from English Week.

There were 7 students in the class chosen to recite the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Dadi and Mami came to know about this on the eve of Chinese New Year. So, Dadi googled and did some homework. Dadi helped me with the storyline of Little Red Riding Hood, with a good twist of the story. The story was where Little Red was a wolf karate expert who could fight the wolf. The wolf ate Little Red's grandma and Little Red performed her wolf karate moves and the wolf vomited grandma out. From the 7 students, 3 were selected to enter the interclass story telling competition for English Week last week. I had two prizes from story telling, 1st prize within my class and 2nd prize for interclass competition.

Next, we had boggle competition within the class. We worked in a group of 4, but one of my group member was absent. So, there were only 3 of us and we won 1st prize for boggle competition. Thanks to Dadi and Mami who downloaded the boggle game into their handphones and I practiced playing boggle during the Chinese New Year holidays.

Finally we had a spelling competition. However, the spelling words were given earlier to us to go through before hand. I had all 30 words spelt out correctly, and won 1st prize for spelling too.

I was so happy to be able to come back with all my prizes, comprises mainly stationeries. It wasn't the prizes which I was happy about. It was the feeling of being recognized for my hard work.

 

To side track, last week I cried before bed because I thought I did poorly in my maths assessment. I found the questions tricky and difficult and I just received my paper yesterday. I was so happy to receive full marks for the paper. Yesterday was a double blessings for me.

God was certainly gracious with His favour upon me. Thank you God.

You can check out my Kor Kor's blog to read about his English Week too. He won two prizes.

Another Birthday Celebration - Ah Mah

Ah Mah's birthday falls on 4th March and she turned 65 years old. Oops!! Am I allowed to share her age here?

Ah Ku arranged for a Birthday dinner cum Chinese New Year dinner at a Japanese restaurant serving Japanese buffet. The restaurant was called Fukuden at Jalan Delima. The restaurant is opposite another Japanese restaurant across the street called Fukuya. We initially wanted to go there, but it was all fully booked. Both Fukuden and Fukuya are from the same group of companies. Nevertheless, Fukuden was a great place, serving good food. Mami loves the Salmon Sashimi the most. Dadi enjoyed the Beef Skewers. Being a child, I loved the ice cream the most. Super creamy.

I made a Birthday Card for her. It was a unique card as I made it in a form of an Activity Card. However, knowing Ah Mah's character, I knew she wouldn't participate in the activities written in her card. So, I guess it was in vain :(

There was another page of the card but Mami did not take a photo of that page.

Well, Happy Birthday Ah Mah. May God continue to bless you with good health... and stay young and beautiful.  

Mami Loves Me, This I Know

This is a photo of my proud Mami, who loves Ben Ben Kor Kor and I. She constantly tells us that she is very proud of us, as we are handsome, smart and talented in music. She also constantly reminds us that it was God who has blessed us with these gifts and talents. We must use our talents for God. Sometimes, she will remind us of the bible story where talents not used, will be taken away from us. This is why Mami has encouraged Ben Ben Kor Kor to serve in his school worship team with his musical talent. She prays that I will do the same in the future too.

Side track a little, this is my Ah Mah. She loves us very much too. She is the one busy feeding us day and night. Her cooking is yummy! If only Mami could cook as well as her. 

7th Birthday Celebration

We did not do a big celebration for my birthday. We kept it simple and sweet.

My birthday happened to fall on the Chinese New Year period. We had a small gathering with 8 friends in my house, a day before my birthday. It was still a school holiday. We did not inform my friends that it was my birthday. We invited them for a playdate. However, most of them must have guessed and generously gave me presents. They even brought cakes for desserts. We played some toys and danced with X-box Kinect. I realised that some of my friends can really dance well. We ended up drawing as well. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed drawing more than anything else.

On my actual birthday, Mami bought a few slices of cake for our family to sing a birthday song for me at home. I really loved the cake. The slice of cake I chose was a mocha sponge cake. Yummy!!

Mami can't believe I am already 7 years old. Her desires is for my to grow to know Jesus, love Jesus and serve Jesus all the days of my life. Amen!

Eye Level Literature Award 2014

I was selected by my school to participate in the Eye Level Literature Award last year. We had to write a short essay with an illustration about what I wanted to be when I grew up. As always, my answer would be to be a Superhero. I want to save the day!

I did not win any price, but was given a nice award for participating. I was so happy to have received it.

Claris Yamaha Junior Original Concert Performance

My Kor Kor and I participated in the Claris selection for Yamaha Junior Original Concert at Yamaha Kelana Jaya last week. There were 64 participants from Claris. It was a good experience for me, as it was the first time for me performing in such a big audience.

Yamaha Junior Original Concert is an avenue for children below 15 years old to express their original composition. We learn composition through our Yamaha programme. We learn to express our emotions and ideas through songs.

I am so grateful to my Yamaha teacher for giving me this opportunity. I practised hard since last October to be able to play well.

Sweet 2015

This is my first post of the year. I had a great holiday last month. My Kor Kor had blogged earlier about our holiday trip in Japan. It was also the best holiday that I have had so far. I loved Disneyland the most. I was not afraid of any of the rides. Instead of shouting "Ahhhhh" during the scary rides, I screamed "Yehhhh". Mami and Ah Mah were very surprised and proud that I could walk so much throughout the trip. I even had to help pull a small cabin size luggage through the subway stations, up and down some stairways.

I pray that 2015 will be a sweet year for all of us. I pray that we will create sweet memories together, enjoying every family member, relatives, friends and everyone around me. Have a sweet year ahead!
