My Little Aquarium 2

I have replaced some of the aquatic plants with colourful corals and anemones. I have also added a bridge and a treasure chest.The naughty alligator has two new friends, a green tortoise and a blue froggie! My favourite fish is still the guppy =) Guppies are so colourful and lively.



Look at these guppies. They have very pretty tails.

The Night Safari

Last night, my parents brought me to the Singapore Night Safari. It was very crowded and most of the visitors were tourists. We bought our tickets and decided to have a light supper before we embarked on our night adventure. We ate at Bongo Burgers and watched the thrilling tribal performance on stage. My dad took a short video of it.

Before we joined the queue at the tram station, we visited the Safari Shops to buy a few souvenirs for myself =) After I had my bag of goodies, we hopped onto a zebra stripped tram and started on our journey across eight geographical regions.

Waiting for the tram.

During the tram ride, there were some close encounters with the animals and we were advised to remain quiet and also not to use our camera flashes. I saw many species of hyenas. They are much bigger in size than they appear on television. The largest member is the Spotted Hyena, also known as the Laughing Hyena. We had a stop-over at East Lodge. From there, we embarked on the Leopard Trail by foot. We went into a few walk-through domes and experienced really close encounters with giant fruit bats and giant flying squirrels. It was very exciting and scary. I walked on a dark narrow path with giant bats hanging above my head!

Come, let's go leopard hunting on the leopard trail. Follow me!

Mango juice or fruit punch?

About an hour later, we hopped back onto the tram and continued our travel through Equatorial Africa, Indo Malayan and many other regions. Along the way, we had 'face to face' encounters with the Malayan tapirs and many deers. There were three large hippopotamuses resting in a murky pond. We saw lions, bears, rhinoceroses and elephants too.  Soon, we came to the end of our tram journey and the ride ended near the Entrance Plaza. It was almost 11.30 pm and I was a little tired. We decided to head back home.

I had a wonderful time and I look forward to visiting the night safari again.

The Books I Read
During the school holidays, I borrowed a few books from the library. There are two books which I like very much. They are about the friendship and adventures of two seven year old girls.

Having Fun At My Friend's House

My friend, Rachael, invited Vanessa and me to her house. We played with our Barbie dolls and watched a Barbie movie. We had cakes, ice cream and mooncakes. Everyone had a wonderful time =)

I am all ready to go to Rachael's house.

Vanessa, Rachael and Me!

My Little Aquarium

This is my new aquarium. It is a community aquarium and it has many different species of fish. My little aquarium has sixty four fishes. The fishes are swimming happily in the tank. I will feed them twice a day with tiny food pellets. Can you see that angry alligator standing on top of the cave? Well, that is his cave and he is guarding it. He will eat any fish that goes into his cave. Naughty gator!

My aquarium has :

Cardinal Tetra

Black Skirt Tetra

My favourite fish, Guppy

Scissor Tail Guppy

Glass Catfish

Glowlight Tetra

Rummy Nose Tetra

Zebra Danio

Start of School ~ Term 3

Want some?

The one month long school holidays are over. Now I have to wake up at 6 am in the morning again :(

We have music class on Mondays. During this week's lesson, we were taught a few songs and one of them was 'Ben' by Michael Jackson. When we first listened to 'Ben', everyone thought the singer was a girl. Then our music teacher, Mdm Leong, showed us a video of young Michael singing the song.

One of Michael Jackson's lovely songs, You Are Not Alone,

performed by the X Factor 2009 finalists.

Lyric

Another day has gone

I'm still all alone

How could this be

You're not here with me

You never said goodbye

Someone tell me why

Did you have to go

And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

You are not alone

For I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

You are not alone

'Lone...

Just the other night

I thought I heard you cry

Asking me to come

And hold you in my arms

I can hear your prayers

Your burdens I will bear

But first I need your hand

Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

 

For you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

For you are not alone

 Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'

And girl you know that I'll be there

I'll be there

You are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

For you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart..

You are not alone (You're not alone)

You are not alone

Not alone..
