TKPS 's Children's Day Mini Fun Fair 09

Today(30/09/09), my school was organising a Fun Fair to help raise money for some children in a school in Cambodia. It was going to last from 1 pm to 5pm. It is said this particular group of people hope to raise enough money to purchase a solar power stand for electricity ( of course, for a school in Cambodia).

I decided to take part in this meaningful event. When school had just ended, my mother accompanied me to a nearby coffee shop to have lunch first, of course, if not I would starve. Had a plate of chicken rice. Yum! Had some lemon tea too. Then I headed back into school.

I had actually wanted to meet the teacher to discuss over an issue that is direct opposite of "trivial issue" with my parents. But it turns out that she was not free, because they had a meeting every Wed afternoon. So my parents just had to watch me play. Boring day, no friends to play with. I thought to myself. I tried playing some games. First one i played was called "FLIGHT". I folded a paper aeroplane and threw it as hard as i could. But it was a lousy one. It went out of line. But you cannot blame me for that, the aeroplane was folded by someone else, not me.

I tried another game. It took place at the field. Named "WATER WARS". I had to wait a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnng time. Tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... One hour plus had gone, and yet I was silly enough to wait in the sun to play this game.

Finally, i entered the field. Each of them were armed with water guns. Small one ranged from $0.50 - $2, i think. Large bazookas were about $5. I paid for the small ones. It was fun shooting one another. At times i would run from the ones invading me and shoot my gun and smack them with water everywhere.

I would also sneak up behind them and deliver a surprise to them by greeting them with a blast of water, then I would run away and burst out into laughter that sent shockwaves through the feild.

The real excitement began when my friend came. We squirted shots of water at each other. He was wet with water. As for me, I was slightly wet only. Even my specs were wet with tiny drops of water! Just then, i noticed i was low of water flow. I directed a few more shots of water before shooting myself, then I went to return the gun.

What an enjoyable day for me!

My new badge! I finally got it!

Today at school, we were told that the prefects who were absent yesterday will meet him to receive something at the CCA room. Since I as a prefect, did not receive the thing, went. Actually, I was not absent, but that was not asked, if did, i would have feigned presence. I just did not go and told my friends i would feign absence if i had to.

I always knew that if he asked to meet some leaders(etc), he would call for the absent ones the next day. I told my friends who were also prefects, "Never mind la! Not as if no chance! Mr. Rodger Chua always tell the absent ones to collect it the next day! Take it that I'm absent!" And in fact, it did happen. But i turned rather frantic when i was asked a few questions.

But, still, everything went smoothly. Blah blah...... blah blah.............blah blah.................. Over! So okay, not a problem! And do you want to know what I recived? A badge! I recieved a badge? Hah? Huh? What badge? Oh, for goodness sake! Of course, the prefects badge! What else could it be other than the prefects badge?

I was over the moon. Nonono, I was not over the moon in outer space. It was hard to put it on intially, but i did it in the end. I would know that i had to get it someday, so i was not so surprised. Not saying I'm not surprised, I am surprised, just that i knew this from the time i was appointed a prefect.

I should not be selected......

On Thursday, 6 August 09, my class's PE teacher, Mr Chua came. He told the class that he would select 30/40 pupils to participate tomorrow for Sports Day as a celebration of National Day, Singapore's 44Th Birthday. The rest would be in the hall. Everyone began murmuring excitedly. As for me, I kept wishing to be selected throughout the whole selection process. It came true. I was selected in Team 3. Oh, talking about that, there are 3 teams. Each had an equal amount of 10 participants.
I was over the moon when I was selected. However, I didn' t expect things to turn out slightly bitter and sour. But I mean, things... were tough to endure. The next day, I was feeling a little of tense. I almost lost way when I reached school. 10 to 15 minutes later, I was down at the quadrangle to assemble. We sang several national songs. Sports Day finally started around nine o' clock.
However........................ I had to confess that I did not have a lot of fun. I DREAD IT! Throughout the whole event, I dreaded it. I did not even have 1% of chance to drink even half a teaspoon. A teaspoon, in fact half! Not a chance at all! How much is half a teaspoon?! Not even enough to take medicine. When I ran, my breath strained, and my shin muscles, were pulling. I just regretted it! Not really like that, but I would push all the blame to my stamina bar.My throat was parched. I need water badly, or else I will die of heatstroke. I thought to myself.
Finally, I was back in class, still panting. Maybe I would need stamina boost bars to boost my stamina, perhaps? Finally, I could drink as much water as a billion drops of water. I grabbed my water bottle and poured water as much as half the bottle down my throat at one go. Glug! Glug! Glug! But not enough! Salty water was dripping down. I needed icy cold water. Maybe I would drink some from the Artic. Hahaha...........
I decided to buy a drink from the drinks stall or vending machine at the canteen. I needed one very badly. I left my bag with my great- grandmother before proceeding to buy a drink. Settled down on a Yeo's Lychee drink. One popped down from the vending machine. By the time I was at home, I had almost finished a quarter of the Lychee.

However, I felt happy today.

My Sumptuous Breakfast

Zzz...... I was still asleep when I was startled by someone calling me. I looked. Just only my uncle. After that, I could not get to sleep. Once I wake up, there's no forcing me back to sleep. I was just too tired after all.

Slept too late last night just to watch Garfield 2 Disc 1. An hour or so later, I was disturbed by the phone's ringing. I ignored it. I just needed peace.

Later, it was heard again. I reluctantly climbed out of bed to answer the call. I just knew that if it was not answered, it would call again. What a windbag. Or maybe that person had great- grandmother stories to tell.

It turned out to be my mother. I just knew it! It was not as surprising that she would call at this time. Told her i needed some rest. Then I went back to lie down.

Later, someone was calling again. It was my uncle. He asked me to go down for breakfast. Although I was tired, I agreed.


Went to wash up change into my proper clothes and went down to wait for him. Unlikely that he would ask me for breakfast. Initially, I thought it was very simple. But turned out to be at McDonald's. There, we ordered 2 Big Breakfasts, 2 Iced Milo. Yum! Look at the spread of food on the tables. The grape jam was especially delicious. The black pepper sprinkled on the egg and chicken patty was delicious, but the pepper was not spicy at all. It was a sumptuous one.


I got out from the seats and headed for home. I was very full, I could not hide my stomach. Until now, let me tell you, dear reader(s), I have not even finish drinking my Iced Milo when I started this blog post!

Trip To The SF and SR as a Celebration of Father's Day

Today was Father's Day. I woke up at 10.30 plus to get ready for a special event, 'Father's Day Celebration'. It was organised by the Eunos CC Youth and Women's Group and also Eunos Zone '2' RC. It was to celebrate Father's Day. There was a short ride and cruise on the Singapore Flyer and river, a visit to a Nonya culture museum and a 8-course meal at Kia Hiang Restaurant. There, I made a new friend.

1. 8-course meal at Kia Hiang Restaurant.

2. Cruise across the SR.

3. Ride on the SF.

4. To the museum.

I went down to 616 around 2 quarters after 11.am. A big crowd was there. The population was 160 people. Soon we boarded the bus to Tiong Bahru to have our lunch first. While waiting to enter Ka Hiang Restaurant, I made a new friend. He lived 4 levels away from me, and were about the same height but different schools.

We were still chatting away when we were signaled to go in. There, the 8-course included fish, chicken, tofu and many other things. It was finger-licking good food.

We went to the Singapore River to take a short cruise next. The Sun was blinding and blazing hot. I saw the Merlion, Esplanade and Singapore River.



I had to wait for a while. When I finally stepped aboard the boat, I sniffed upon a fouling smell not long when I sat on the seats. Minutes later, we finally hit shore on the other side.



After a while later, we were on the Flyer. It was relaxing enjoying the scenery. Saw tall buildings, a faraway island and the Singapore Grand Prix track's starting grids and line. There was something I did not like about the Singapore Flyer.

After that we went to a museum. Very lame to me, no ancient displays but Nonya culture displays, and that's what I hate the most!

Later back at the RC, blk 616, we took a group photo. There was a cake. I thought it was real, but not. We exchanged a piece of paper for a gift, a 'muffin cake'. It was delicious. On the top were some cream and toppings, and at the bottom were some muffin. Toppings included some M&M chips. Got a chilling cup of Milo before heading for home. Finished it in a few gulps.

Meanwhile back at home, I decided to try the muffin. The cream was very, very, very creamy. At first my great- grandmother thought it wasn't real.

Trip To Wild Wild Wet

One and a half fortnights(3 weeks) ago, my father took me to Wild Wild Wet located at Pasir Ris, Downtown East.The price for the entrance ticket was expensive! $10.50 for children, $15-16.50 for adults. Including the locker card($2) and parking ($4-6.50) at the E-hub car-park, the total amount added up to $30-38!

After purchasing the tickets for the both of us, we went to stuff our belongings inside a locker. Had some difficulty trying to do so. I was amazed by what stations there were.

I went to try Waterworks. There was a extremely long 'Q'. I tried a hollow tunnel first. It was so dark and long, my hair stood on end. Oh, where were some mini-lights when you need them? When I was midway in the tunnel, I mumbled and thought to myself all throughout the ride: '' When will this ever end?''

After a short moment, I could finally see some lights at the outlet of the tunnel, the splash pool. Without any hesitation, when I reached the end, I landed into the splash pool with a thud.

As it was too late to do anything, even putting on the goggles that initially hung from my neck, I seemed own help to prevent any risks or injuries by quickly shutting my eyes tightly and taking a quick grasp of air as I landed into the splash pool that was deeper than my height. As fast as a rabbit, I landed without delay.

"Help me! Help me! '' I shrieked when my struggling made it to the surface. I spluttered when I tried keeping afloat. Lucky that my father had slid down first.

When my father asked me if I wanted to try again, I declined immediately after he finished his speech. I enjoyed the 'Current Lake' and 'Uglar-Uglar', which means snake in Basahar Melayu(Malay). It was thrilling. I guess that's why they call it a thrill ride.

When I sat on the raft that was inflated with air, I got a kind of feeling that I've went on a ramp and went slightly airborne at some sections when I went on the ride. I enjoyed that thrill ride the most ever, though it was a bit little kind of crazy.

I enjoyed the 'Current Lake' a lot, too. In that, there were several parts that had 'pumps'. The pushing force was very tremendous, it moved me forward, that's right, like a current.

I liked to wear the life jacket that would keep me afloat. I would then lie down on my back and enjoy. Even without it, I could still cope, for the depth was only 1m. In the water, I spotted some particles such as rubber/ hair bands and also one Funky! card that was for using water. To my astonishment, I even found a cover of a watch.

Time passed quickly. We headed backed to land and in to the Men's changing room. That's when we noticed that the towel was lost. My father said, " I remembered that when we came, I hung the towel over the bar. You know, I wanted to put it on the top of the bag, so that it would be easier to get it. Ay-yah, then I forgot to put back." We had no choice, but to dry ourselves by standing under the fan and jump up and down to get rid of all the water molecules.

Sars Song

When I heard : ''Wash your hands, whenever you can, wash with soap, then at least got hope. When you get home, take a bath quickly kiasu a bit, be safe, not sar-ry!'' I just thought it was a poetic song made up from the Sars virus. I doubted it was real.

In the end, curiosity still got hold of me. So, I logged on to the Internet to find out more about that.

Sars song...... I typed. After a short finding, I found the song. It was real. I saw Phua Chu Kang. He was the main character in the video.

Here's the video:

There were a lot of funny parts, too. Some were not even written in proper language!

Where Is My Char Siew Pao Leh?

I woke up one Wednesday morning, (that's on 03/06/09), feeling depressed that my mother was not around in sight. Did I mention that I will die without seeing my mother?

I began calling out to her, " Mommy! Where are you? " It turned out that she was ironing the clothes in the living room. Lied down for a while more before going to wash up and take a shower. Was a steaming hot one that could had me cooked.

I turned the rotatable water thermostat from 'Med' to 'Low' to adjust the temperature as it was too burning for me to withstand it. I wasn't going to let the water turn me into cooked food, food that is ready for carnivores to munch on.

Next stop, Mother's Turn To Bathe... Wahaha... Wahaha... Not at the Mass Rapid Train(MRT) station, but it's my mum's turn to bathe. Not my everyday routine. But my mother's everyday routine. She bathes every morning before work.

Even if she has no work! We've to go shopping, today. I've got 0 percent of interest in shopping...... but I still gotta tag along. Wish there's no magnetism in the world...

But anyway, I still have to do so... No shorts to wear during celebrations. And that is really true. Compulsory to say no. Soon we were ready to set off. I groaned. Hate shopping.

I just simply wore my sport shoes, closed the door and galloped down the six flights of stairs. Then went down to the market to have my 'Half-Breakfast-Half Lunch'.

Want to know why I call it like that? It was already 11 plus, almost noon. I met my grandmother and three of her friends there. I ate a bowl of bee hoon and a char siew bun. I asked, "Where is my char siew bun leh?'', feeling rather confused.

It was such a silly question to ask, the six of us at the table began roaring with laughter. It was soooo embrassing, I even put my right hand on my forehead, still laughing.

I was too engrossed in other things, so that was why I didn't notice that I've finished my bun and totally forgotten about that. What a embrassing incident it was!
