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.

Birthday Celebration at USS

I celebrate my 8th birthday today. Time has passed so fast. I will be in Primary 3 next year and it seems like just yesterday that I got into ACS.

Mummy and Daddy decided to bring us to Universal Studios Singapore since we all have not gone there before, with the exception of Mummy who has gone there 3 times. Godpa suggested that they get the 6 month season pass which is more worth it and value for money, so they did. And with the inclusion of the Express feature, the 4 tickets for all of us cost about $770! Sure is expensive having fun here in Singapore.

Got our faces painted when we got there. And we headed straight for the first roller coaster. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Andrea was not tall enough so she was not able to take that ride. So Daddy and I headed for the queue, and our Express feature ensured that we didn't even have to queue and got our seats pretty fast. I said fortunately for Andrea not tall enough to go cos it was a very scary ride and I was so scared I covered my face most of the time and had it smudged so badly I look hideous after the ride.

We managed to try out almost all the rides and even had the chance to go a second time for some of the more interesting ride. It was almost 9pm when we decided to head home. Needless to say, Andrea and I knocked out in the car on the way home.  

It was a good celebration and I had a good time.

Tennis with Coach William

Coach William is probably my 4th tennis coach so far. This is only my third lesson with him and for some reason, I have been able to hit the balls better with him. Even Daddy thinks so and was impressed with the way I run and hit the ball tonight. He is strict with his instructions and sometimes I don't like it but Mummy and Daddy says that is the way to improve. I can't always be playing like a beginner and it is time I get some serious training.
