Informal Letter

Dear Elain ,

How are you ? I am writing to you , because I wanted to share with you why we want to meet you .

Remember the last surprise trip to grandma's house ? My family have not meet you since then , because my parents did not have the time to bring me to grandma's house at Ipoh , Malaysia . I miss my relatives a lot .

I suggested to my parents to meet all of you at the June holidays , because singapore has a month of holiday in june , and there is one week of holiday in Malaysia at June .My parents have not agree with me yet .

We will be going there to meet our relatives , grandparents , Aunts and Uncles to see how they have been doing lately . A one-week will be more than enough time for us to meet and share with the latest news .

If my parents both agree with me , they will drive us there , but only if they are free and when there is not much traffic jam on the way there . Hope to meet you soon !

Regards ,
Daphne

Sports Fiesta

In the morning , my parents drive me to the Serangoon stadium.

I thought it was a very hot day. I sat at the seat , the sun was just facing us and I had to strain my eyes to see the student's house colour while they are running.I sat there feeling so bored.

Later part of the day, i went to buy a bottle of coke ad when I was trying to open it, the coke just spilled of my shoes and the floor. I have to use the whole packet of tissue to wipe the floor.

Then Qian Yi came and we joked about some funny things. The Voltus flag was being put in the drain . Qian Yi and I laughed and laughed and laughed . We took a video of it too and I still have the video . It was quite a fun day there . I love it !!!

Cross Country

I did not go for the cross country, because I was not feeling well, so I cannot write anything about it.

Secondary School Life At An Assembly Day You Were Told To Talk

If I was supposed to talk at an assembly day about my Secondary school life , I would say that in Primary school , we learn to cope our stress , but in Secondary school , there will be more stressful things .

There will be more subjects to learn and we must understand very well , more CCAs to choose from, if we have interest in both CCAs , you can choose a Main CCA and a Second CCA , not like Primary school , as there is only one CCA .

They sometimes talk about relationships , and their hairstyle , so they look more pleasant . In secondary school we learn to be more mature and learn to be independent .

I cannot cope with some subjects , but now i am trying my best to understand everything . We must also think positive , so we can complete the tasks teacher told us to do . Once we miss out one lesson , we cannot catch up anymore , unless we work double times harder .

Chinese New Year Celebration

I went to Malaysia for my Chinese New Year celebration . I went to Ipoh to visit my grandparents and relatives .

It took us twelve hours before we reach there , as the road was full with cars , so we reached there at 10pm plus . Then our relatives ate dinner with us . When we reached the restaurant , i saw unfamiliar faces . They were all my cousins and had changed their looks alot . They had became mature too .

I liked the fun part when we reached our grandparents' house , my relatives and I of twelve people , went to buy fireworks to shoot up into the sky . On that night , we played with the fireworks until 1am midnight and waited for the next day to come .

The next night , we planned to eat some chicken rice and i was shocked after we arrived at the food centre . I saw many people waiting for their seats , and everyone is eating . We were so lucky that we did not need to wait for the seats . I turned my eyes to the signboard and realised that I had gone there before . Then my uncle suggested those who did not have a chance to eat before , will eat there , but the others follow him and one other uncle . Then , we reached the other food centre and called out our favourite dishes , we ate alot .

After eating , my uncle brought us back home . Then my 3rd uncle drove us to the red-bean sundae stall , where my other realtives went to . It was my favourite drink . After having a drink , we went back to our grandparents' house and got all our fireworks to bring it to my 3rd uncle's new house nearby .

We played the fireworks outside his house . There was no electricity yet , so we can only stand outside and play . We had so much fun . The nicest firework is by my same aged relative .

We continued the same routine for the next few days , except for the food we ate . Time was really very fast , five days had passed and its time to go back home . It was indeed a fun-filled trip with my relatives .
