The 5th National Chinese Cross- Talk Competition 2010

HOORAY! Yesterday, I managed to snag a 3rd place at the 2010 National Chinese Cross- Talk competition's grand finals. There were about 40 over teams participating in this competition. I felt that this was a glorious achievement.

The subject of my cross talk was " I Love My School!". In the end, my friend, G F, and I were awarded each a beautiful golden trophy.

That's not all! My Mother Tongue Teacher also informed me that G F and I were requested to perform our famous cross talk at many other events. So looks like I'll be quite busy now!

P. S. - Guess what? Two weeks later, my school is hosting a sleepover at the Underwater World. It will a wonderful experience!!!

Trip to Taiwan

Howdy! This June holidays, I went to Taiwan. Where EXACTLY did I go? I went to Taipei and Taichung. One thing about Taiwan is that there was were where bubble tea first originated!

HIGHLIGHTS:

NIGHT MARKETS- There are a lot of night markets in Tawan. But in Taiwan's night markets, they sell things which you can't find in Singapore night markets. For example, REALLY COLD ice creams that won't melt until a very long period of time.

BUBBLE TEA- The bubble tea sold in Taiwan is really DELICIOUS! YUM... The bubble tea vendors there give a lot of tapioca pearls and very little ice, a lot of tea and a very large cup. ( Of course, you have to pay more. )

Stay tuned for more of my June holidays.
NEXT STOP- Hong Kong

The June Holidays- Siem Reap, Cambodia

This June, I will be going to Siem Reap, Cambodia for my first- ever exchange programme! Cambodia, here I come!

SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA
Siem Reap city is the capital of Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.

It is the gateway city for the nearby ANGKOR WAT.

The name Siem Reap means " The defeat of Siam ( Today's Thailand. )

Siem Reap was one of the main border crossing from Cambodia to Thailand.

The Angkor Wat temples Siem Reap are one of the very famous tourist attractions in the world.

Today, Siem Reap is Cambodia's fastest growing City.


Remember these useful info. Who knows, you could be going to Siem Reap sooner or later...

Even though the June holidays is a time to relax, but THIS June holidays are quite different. I have lots of competitions going on this hols, like the National Scrabble Competition! But after all these important activities, I can finally sit back and relax. Want to know where I'm going this June?? Read my last post.

Movie Review

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID The Movie

Recently, I went to the cinemas to watch the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid movie. It was a really hilarious movie! Most of the jokes in the movie were about disgusting things like snot and boogers. There were very funny at first but after a while, they became boring. Some parts of the movie was funny and comical, while others were not. The part when Greg tries to be in the wrestling team was my favourite part of the movie. The part where Rowley and Greg go to the woods during Halloween was the most predictable ( and my least favourite ) part of the movie.

RATINGS: 3/5 " Watch it, you may like it! "
