Book Review

Just before we start, I just like to announce to you that CW won a reunion dinner worth $1,200! She was elated.

Anyway, today for my book review, let me tell you the books that I like:

Geronimo Stilton
Mr Midnight
Goosebumps
Beast Quest

Of course there are a lot of other more books that I like. So now, lets look at the books that I read.

Mr Midnight # 62 - The Tomb Of Dr Theseus
By Jim Aitchinson A.K.A James Lee

Story: Four school kids explore and they end up finding a tomb of a dead man.

To be honest, I feel that some of MM books are not scary at all, but this particular MM book is scary. I like the MM books because they are full of suspense and good phrases to describe fear. To those readers that have not read this book, read it now!


Geronimo Stilton - The kingdom Of Fantasy
By Edizioni Piemme A.K.A Geronimo Stilton

Story: Mouse Geronimo Stilton finds himself in an enchanted land, where he becomes a knight, given the mission to save a damsel in distress.

I enjoy reading the G. S. books as they are full of humor and good vocab. IF there was a place like New Mouse City, I would fly there now!


Goosebumps Horrorland - Revenge Of The Living Dummy
By RL Stine

Story: All-time horror favourite Slappy The Dummy returns to turn Carly Beth into a slave.

The Goosebumps books really make me shiver in fear. I like reading the Goosebumps books because there is both humor AND horror in them. I like both Monster Blood and Slappy, the two famous Goosebumps characters/things.

Beast Quest - Bumper Edition #5
By Adam Blade

Story: This time, Tom, Avantia's hero has to fight a Winged Terror.

That's all, folks!

FROM THE DESK OF GEORGE RING
I can really imagine Tom fighting the Beasts. I like the Beast Quest books as they have good phrases in them.

Lovely Doughnuts and Bread

Once again, hello reader. January has come to an end so now it's FEBRUARY! Which means CNY is coming soon. And most of all, Valentine's Day falls on the same day as CNY. So bread makers like Four Leaves and donut makers like Donut Empire are racking their brains to make a Valentine day bun/donut or a CNY bun/donut. Or maybe a CNY AND a Valentine bun/donut!

Restraunts will also be thinking, what sort of dinner should we serve? A candlelight dinner? A reunion dinner? Or a candlelight reunion dinner!

And finnaly, we have come to the end of today's post.

True that.

New Year Resolutions

Hello, readers. It has been one month since I logged in to type out a new post. The computer has been acting CRAZY!!! Anyway, since it's already the New Year, I've started writing my new year resolution! But it's still not completed. I've only written two things.

1. To NOT be overweight and be in SHAPE.
( But hey, I'm already in SHAPE. ROUND is a SHAPE! )

2. FINISH my New Year's Resolution.

Also, I'm going to be 10 this year, so that means I'm now in Primary 4. I really hope I'll pass my NAPFA test this year. I also hope that I get better results this year for my exams.

Now if you excuse me, I'd like to complete my list of New Year Resolutions!!!!

Trip To The Philippines

Destination: CEBU, PHILIPPINES.
Plane: CEBU PACIFIC
26 Nov- 30 N0v

I arrived at Cebu in the middle of the night. We took a cab to Microtel, our hotel for the first two days. The hotel Microtel was owned by the president of Cebu. I thought it was owned by Bill Gates. The swimming pool in Microtel was full of salt water as the water in the pool was from the beach! Next to Microtel was a beach. I found quite a number of shells. But the sand in the beach was not smooth; it was rough , and rocks could be found on the surface of the sand. So we went back to the salt swimming pool. For dinner, WM ordered spicy tom yam soup and fish and veg. The next day, we took a gypny ( or something else like that. ) Anyway, this strange vehicle is like a truck used to transport workers in Singapore, but in Cebu, they use this vehicle to transport tourists and citizens to different destinations. ( It's kind of a taxi, but the only different thing is that you have strangers taking a ride with you.)

We checked out the next day and took a taxi to the Crown Regency, our second hotel we were staying in. To get to our hotel room in the Crown Regency, we had to take different lifts, from one tower to another. ( There were 38 floors! ) But before we reached the hotel, we had lunch at the Lighthouse Restaurant, a restaurant that sells seafood. ( The shells of the clams were enormous!) I also visited a guitar factory. I bought a miniature guitar as a souvenir.
Next, our taxi driver took us to the 7D (TM) Mango Factory. I hate mangoes. Anyway, after visiting the mango factory, we went back to our hotel. The good thing about Crown Regency was that there was a McDonald's next to the hotel. I drank a Starbucks Ice Blended Drink. Starbucks was also next to the hotel.

The next day,( also our last day in Cebu), we went to Jollibee, Philippine's answer to McDonald's, for lunch. I never tasted such rubber- like pasta before. Bleccchhh!! We also went to SM City, a shopping mall in Cebu, to shop. Then after a long, boring ride .......

To cut the long story short, we arrived in the airport of Cebu. I had Chicken MSG Flavoured Cup Noodles With Glucose for dinner in the 'plane. When we reached Changi Airport, WM had to rush to another terminal to take a plane to Europe for a conference. The rest of us ( excluding WM ), took a taxi back home.

Coming Soon: Trip To Malaysia! ( 22 Dec- 25 Dec )

Facebook

Facebook has been the latest talk around my school. I know that you must be atleast 18 or above to sign up for Facebook, so my classmates fake their age. Imagine a boy with ash black hair saying, '' I'm a 100 years old. '' What a joke.

I find it funny. My classmates always meet each other at school so why bother talking on the Net again? Who knows? Maybe next time my friends will have a Twitter account.

Thanksgiving Is Near

November 29th has always been a frightening day for turkeys. Why? It's Thanksgiving. And by the end of the day, one poor turkey would be served from the oven.

Turkey. Not the bird, but the country. You may think turkeys like Turkey, but if a Turkish farmer kills turkeys, they don't. Well, I am not a fan of turkeys. I prefer roast chicken. Nor do I like geese.

The farmer's wife can't wait for 29th of November to come.
