Macritichie Tree Top Walk




Today we went for tree top walk with Qihui and her family. We went by car. My father dropped us down first because the carpark was full. At first when I started walking, I felt comfortable and excited. One hour later, we met Isobel and Joel at the ranger station eating gummies. They were with their parents. After we ate some fruits and a short rest, we headed for the "treetop bridge". The bridge was high and I was scared. I saw a lot of tall trees below us. Next we had to climb down a lot of steps and then we stopped at the ranger station again. Then on the way back we caught some fish then we headed for the carpark with my feet aching. I would never ever want to have aching feet again!

My 8th Birthday

Last Sunday was my birthday. My mother wanted to plan a barbecue for me and my Ascension kindergarten friends, Aloysius, Ezra, Elliot and Bryan. But I decided to play 3-4 hours of Supreme Commander instead because I usually got to play only half an hour during weekends.

On the morning of my birthday, I woke up early because I was excited. The first thing I did was to eat breakfast then I played Supreme Commander while my family went out for breakfast. I felt happy when i played the game because it is fun.

In the evening we went o Changi Airport for dinner. My mother and I chose to eat at Secret Recipe restaurant. My father's friend, uncle Gary came to eat with us. After that we went to pick up Uncle Charles and Uncle Avin who are from China. After that my mother went to City Square mall to buy a chocolate- yam cake for me. I enjoyed my birthday.

Show and Tell: My Favorite Toy

Good morning teachers and friend, today I want to share with you my favorite toy.
This is my favorite toy. It is called a Beyblade. It is made up of a weight disk which is used to determine the power and speed and a spin gear which is used to control the direction of the rotation. A launcher is then used to launch the Beyblade into the Battle Ring to attack other opponents. The one that spins the longest is the winner!

I usually play it with my cousins, Jay, Jon and Jim at my grandfather's house on Sundays when we go there for dinner. I enjoy playing it because I like to see the top spinning and to challenge other people to see who is the winner.

How I can be gracious

I wish I could be gracious like the Japanese. If I am gracious, I would do all the good things such as let others go out of the car first and when I go food court, I must quickly finish my food and clear the table to let others use the table. I must also let other people get out oflaity lift first before I enter.

When I am queuing up, I should let old people and others who are in need go first. If I am in the classroom, I must not make any noise when the teacher is talking because my classmates want to learn.

My Pets

I have two pet gerbils, Houdini and Chi Chi. They look like cute rats. My friend's mother gave it to me. My responsibility is to feed them. They eat nuts and sunflower seeds. I also give them water in their water-bottle every 2-3 days.

Houdini likes to bite things and scratch the corner trying to get out. Last time, when we first had it, it always escapes from it's cage. So we bought a new cage with a cover so that it dies not escape again.

My Family

I have four members in my family. They are my father, mother, sister and I. I live at 1 St Michael's with my two gerbils, Houdini and Chi Chi and a terrapin. My father is a businessman. He sells water to ships. His hobbies are fishing, playing golf and badminton.

My mother is a teacher. She is teaching English and History in a Secondary school. She enjoys reading and swimming. My sister is studying in Hong Wen Primary school. She is a Primary 1 student. She loves to draw and sleep.

I am learning a lot of sports such as swimming, tennis and aikido. Every Wednesdays we go to Anchorvale CC to play badminton and table tennis. On weekends, we go to my grandfather's house for dinner. My family also enjoys going East Coast Park for cycling.

My hobbies

I have two hobbies. One is swimming because I like water. I go for swimming on Wednesdays and Sunday.I know a lot of styles such as front-crawl, breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke. I usually swim with my friend Justin. During training, I swim about 40-42 laps. Swimming can help increase my stamina.

My favorite game is Supreme Commander. I like it because I can build things like Hard Rock tanks. My mission is to defeat their commander. I play it only during weekends. I like both hobbies because they are fun!
