Tired

Mrs Tay, I really that many Singaporeans are undergoing a lot of stress. You shouldn't take your self too harsh.

Birthday Cake

Yes Mrs Tay, I think that the picture in the birthday cake really looks like you. Did you know Mrs Tay that I was born in the same month as you? I was born on the 28th of August. That cake really looks like it was profesionally made by expert hands! My dad ordered a present for me from America and it's coming in a parcel. It is something to do with my hobby, Fine scale modelling, which I mentioned earlier and I cannot wait for it to arrive. I think Mrs Tay, you really enjoyed celebrating your birthday judging from the two scrumptious looking cakes that you've got. Me and Matthias are born on the same day, in the same hospital NUH. Whem I came into the class on the 28th, I was greeted with shouts of "Happy Birthday!". I got a shock because I didn't want to tell anyone about my birthday. Actually, Matthias told the whole class about it before I came in. During dinner, my family and I went to celebrate at Swensens. We had a quiet birthday song because I didn't want anybody to know that It was My birthday. Then I realised that there was another boy who had a birthday celebration. He bought the same food as me and I predicted that anybody who is born on the 28th have the same thoughts in mind. I really had a great celebration!

What I'm Thankful For

I'm thankful for having a house to live in. There are many people in the world that are homeless that live on streets. I really feel sad for them and I want to help them some day. I'm thankful for having two dearest parents to love and take care of me. In Singapore, orphanages are set up to house the orphans. Those children have no parents to educate and raise them. Some don't even know their parents since they were young. I'm thankful for having education so that I can get a good secondary school then move on to colledge and finally university to get a good job.Unlike the women in ancient greece who did not go to school instead, they stayed at home. I'm thankful for having a younger brother. When I was three, I could still remember that I had no brother and life at that time was very quiet and boring because I had nobody to talk to except my parents. Now that he's here, I feel more joyous as he fills the house with laughter . I'm thankful to God for everything that I have.

Dear Mrs Tay,

There are many places wich I like. But there is one place that I realy like. It is the Tokyo Disney Land in Japan. That is where I really enjoyed myself most. There were many excitig rides there like E.T. and many others. I went to Japan during winter. I like winter because it makes me feel cooling and comfortable. When I was there, all the words, shows and instructions were all in japanese. At the E.T ride, it was quite fun as we could sit on bicycles and just enjoy the sites as it resembles the cable car. It's just like a pulley that brings you around. My family and I had soo much fun! Then over there, my family and I thought of trying out the ride in the haunted house. At first,my younger brother started bawling away because at that time,he was scared as he was only four. Finaly hestopped after I consoled him. I had such great fun there that the memory of it remained ethed in my memory for a long time.

Dear Mrs Tay,

Malacca is rich in the Peranakan culture. The Bibiks and Babas have a rich heritage there. I love Peranakan food.They are yummy. The chendol is to die for.It is generously laden with the ultra delicious and ultra unhealthy coconut milk and gula melaka. Such cholesterol laden dessert is difficult to find in Singapore. In Singapore the best chendol is in Bedok at a stall named "Hollywood". A botak man serves all customers with a big friendly smile. When I eat the chendol, I would feel very sleepy after that. I would be completely immobilised. This botak man's chendol is best eaten when you have just sat for a stressful test. The chendol would drug you and send you into a long restful sleep.

Dear Mrs Tay,

My family and I fell in love with Japanese food and the Japanese culture when we visited the country a year ago. The Japanese have high standards of discipline and they always aim for quality work.We should emulate them. In Disneyland I noticed that all the baby strollers were parked symmetrically. each parent would park the stroller in a very disciplined fashion. So the rows of strollers were positioned in neat and impossibly straight lines. How amazing! On top of that , the japanese are also honest people. Bikes need not be chained up because no one steals them. That's again another amazing fact about the people of japan. They are honest, through and through.

Dear Mrs Tay,

You wouldn't believe it.The last time my family and I were at Equitorial Hotel in Malacca, the entire basement carpark was packed with Singapore cars. This time when we arrrived, there were none. Our car was the only one from Singapore. What happened to all the Singaporeans? The H1N1 virus really frightened everyone. Even the Malaysians seemed to prefer to stay safe at home. My family had the entire swimming pool, the Japanese restaurant, the Peranakan restaurant and the Cafe Bar to ourselves. And guess what Mrs Tay, we had the entire Eye On Malaysia to ourselves!
