Post Exam Playdate

We concluded our Primary 3 level when we collected our report book. Overall, I know I could have done better. Mummy and Daddy acknowledged that I have tried harder and even though they agreed that I could have gotten better results than what is shown on the report book, they were very happy that my results shown improvement compared to the first half. And as always, they just want to know that I have tried my best and that is all that matters.

I was treated to a pleasant surprise this morning when I woke up and Mummy said that Aunty Ying Wee, Zachary's mom, had kindly suggested that some of the boys go over to her house after school for some fun. I jumped out of bed and got ready without Mummy or Daddy nagging. They wished it was like that everyday!

We had lots of fun today and had pizza for lunch, played table tennis, played at the playground, played Xbox and a few other stuff.. How I wish it was like that everyday.

Day before holiday ends

It is a sad day today as we enjoyed the last day of June's school holiday. It is also a public holiday as our Malay friends celebrate their Hari Raya Puasa.

We started the day with breakfast at Bishan and after that, proceeded to the

nearby playground for a round of badminton. Daddy and I rallied a 28 shots game and that was our record so far. After badminton, we bargained for some time at the playground as we climbed and ran and worked on the exercise machines and got myself all drenched with perspiration. 

Daddy cooked my special request baked cheesed seafood rice. Although it was nice, but the cream was quite filling and I didn't eat as much as I wanted to. 

We went to sleep after watching another movie.

Goodbye Burpy

We were told that hamsters don't live very long, but this was not what we expected. The day started normally and I took a look at Burpy before I left for school this morning. As usual, Burpy will be sleeping and I will not disturb him. When I got home in the afternoon, Burpy was still motionless and I knew something was not very right. Nai Nai was over at the house like all other Wednesdays and Daddy and Mommy had to attend an event so there were not home. When I finally confirmed that Burpy has passed away (for reasons we will never find out), I called Mummy and cried out to her. I was beyond words and Nai Nai had to tell them what actually happened. 

We buried Burpy the next day at the open space in front of our balcony so that I can always visit him whenever I misses him. I was very sad. After the burial, I took a packet of gummies and sat at the balcony watching over Burpy. 

Goodbye Burpy, you were a great hamster!

Easter Celebration

We were celebrating Easter Sunday at Cairnhill Methodist today. Apart from the usual Sunday School, the church also organized a huge Easter Celebration with a Easter Egg Hunt. Many coloured eggs were scattered all around the school and the more coloured eggs one collects, the more gifts can be exchanged. However, there was only one Golden Egg which will fetch the top prize. As soon as the game started, I went hunting for the Golden Egg. And guess what!?! I found the Golden Egg. Everyone heard that I found the Golden Egg and was so envious as I carried the big hamper around during lunch time. I was on cloud 9 as I bathed in the envy of every kid in church. 

Hokkaido 2017

We returned to our favorite ski resort in Hokkaido with Godma and Godpa's families. This time we took a different route as we flew into KL and then into Shin Chitose. From Shin Chitose, we took a van and traveled about 2 hours before getting into Club Med Sahoro. It was a different approach as we managed to see some of the sights along the way to the resort. After spending 5 days and 4 nights at Club Med, we took a train from Shintoku to Chitose where we stayed 2 nights and visited Sapporo and Otaru. We had a wonderful time and as usual, we were not happy when we had to end our holiday and leave Japan. We are looking forward to ski season in 2018!

Our First Furry Pet

On 26th Feb, we welcome Burpy into our home as our first furry pet. He is a Syrian hamster with the most docile personality. He would allow us to hold him and stroke him without moving at all. Sometimes we even handle him a little too rough and Daddy would tell us to be more gentle with him, after all he is still a baby and we shouldn't be throwing a baby around.

Like all hamsters, Burpy is a nocturnal creature. He will be running on the thread mill even in the middle of the night. Sometimes Daddy will be watching the TV late at night and he will hear more of Burpy's workout than the TV. In the morning before we go off to school or before Mummy and Daddy go off to work, Burpy will be roll up in a ball and fast asleep in a corner. 

We like to put Burpy in a Ziploc bag filed with goodies and watch him go crazy eating them. We are so glad to have Burpy.
