End of Primary One, 2010

The last school term for 2010 has ended and our long year-end school holiday has started about a week ago.

Being my first year in primary school, it was pretty stressful and nerve-racking during the first school term. Everything is so different from pre-school days. But along the way, I made many new friends and learnt many new things. I learnt to be more independent too.

I already miss my friends, teachers and school. I am looking forward to be with everyone again when school reopens next year. Happy holidays everyone =)



My P1 orientation day in December 2009 and my first day of primary school in January this year.

Eat healthy, win a prize!.. and it is fun on rainy days.

A typical day after school =)

Happy Birthday

This year, I celebrated my birthday at home. My parents bought me an ice cream cake, presents and lots of delicious food. Yummy!

I wanted to share some cakes with my teachers and classmates. My parents bought cupcakes and have them delivered to my school.

My form teacher, Mrs Tang, is very kind and helpful. She helped me to distribute the cupcakes, spoons and serviettes to the class.

Everyone had a wonderful and 'creamy' recess in school =)

My favourite chocolate mint ice cream cake.

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
