~A letter to a character..~

Dear Caring Tree,

Hi, I've read you in a book! How are you? When I read the book, I thought that you must be the kindest living thing on earth as you didn't mind the way the boy behaved. His behaviour really upsets me. Although his greed was expanding each time he visited, you didn't hesitate. Instead you gave him all that you were able to. But I was quite happy when I'd read that the boy came back to you. You are so kind and generous, I admire you very much. You remind me so much of my parents. The way you'd sacraficed for the boy is the same way as parents sacrafice for their children. The boy should be a happy to have such a caring friend. That's all for now. I'll write to you as soon as possible!

Always,
Amanda.

Book Review:

The story is about a little boy and a loving tree. Everyday, he would come around the tree to play with it. He would climb to the treetop and eat the fruits. He loves the tree and the tree loves to play with him too.
But as he grows up, he no longer wants to play around the tree anymore. He wants toys, so he asked the tree for help. The tree has no money but it offered the boy its fruits to be sold at the market. After that, the boy never came to the tree. The next time the boy visited the tree, it was also the same reason but this time the boy wanted to build a house, so the tree offered him to cut off its branches. Again, he returned to the tree. But alas, he just asked for the tree's trunk to build himself a boat. Finally, when the boy was old and wrinkly. He went back to the tree. The tree said to the man, "I do not have anything to give you. All that is left of me is my dying roots.". Although the man was always asking for more,the tree was more than welcome when the man came back.
In this story, I enjoyed the part when the boy was younger and was always visiting the tree. I'd also learnt that we should always appreciate the things that our parents provide for us and that no matter what happen we should always love our parents for they are always with us.
This story reminds me of my elder siblings who is always asking more from my parents, but my parents never hesitated on giving them. This is because my parents love and care for them.

School Trip @ Mid Valley

There's nothing to tell but the trip to Mid Valley.
On 24th February, the Nickelodeon Big Green Help campaign had invited 40 pupils from my school.
Me and my friends: Krisha, Aainaa, Edmund and See Eleven was one of the selected students.
On the way to Mid Valley ( in the bus),
I was very excited.. until i couldn't stop walking about in the bus... just to say "I can't sit still!" to all my friends.
Its was really F-U-N!!
When we finally reached there, we queued up and went to the Center Hall where we met the Nickelodeon Big Green Help campaign. They provided us food and water. After that, we rehearsed..
Finally, the campaign kicked off. There was a lot of reporters. Me and my friends were excited all over again.
Later, there was a performance by the Tree Theater.
It was about the environment and how mankind destroyed and cut down the trees.
The show was really touching!
After that, there was a press conference. About 12.oo p.m. or 1.oo p.m., the campaign endded. Our teachers also allowed us to buy ice cream at Baskin Robins!

~myself and my friends~

Hey!
Name's Amanda...
I'm gonna sit for UPSR this year..
I'm very scared.
Currently, I'm studying at Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri Bintang Utara (Great school!). I'm in class 6 Bestari. My class teacher is Pn. Ng. She is a great teacher too. In that case, every teacher in my school is GREAT!! My parents are the best while my siblings are fun and nice. I like to swim, read, draw and do handycrafts. And my ambition is to be a doctor. My favourite subjects are English and Science. Moreover, my goals for this year is to get 5As' for UPSR and become a better student to my teachers and also a better child to my parents.

By the way, my brother is always reminding me that UPSR is coming.
It's always haunting me!! But i have to give my best and score 5A's because both of my parents promised me to get me a new laptop and maybe a NANO IPOD!! ~hooray!!~

Anyways,
my friends: Aainaa, the outgoing and cool girl..Krisha the crazy-no- LUNATIC girl! and then there's Ellisha, the pretty and chubby girl(but has eyebags). They have been the ones who is always sticking by me.. Best Friends!!

Besides them, there is also Edmund Yap. He is a kind guy but somtimes can be very very bad..
See Eleven, he is a cool guy too!!
Without my friends, I think my life will be as dull as a black world!!
So, I really want to thank my friends for sticking with me and being my friends!

My life is just perfect with my friends and family!
I guess its time to say goodbye!
Gonna blog again next time!!
Bye!!
