My pool side party with my friends and family...

On 30th May,
I invited some of my friends over to my house to celebrate my birthday.
We had a SPLASHY fun.
First, we went down to the pool and start off with a water gun fight. But for us who don't have water guns, we had to suffer from those who keep on shooting, especially Aiman.
Later, we ate and went on swimming around the pool.
Some of us played the Twister.
Anyway, let's just skipped the whole thing and see some of the pictures we took.

They were joking around about something.


Leo stuffing fries into his mouth.


Yuki had her clothes wet because she didn't wanted to swim but in the end she still got wet and had to swim.


Ellisha enjoying her orange juice.


Ian was the last one who came and the earliest one who left.


Krisha, Ellisha and I took a group picture.


The guys were planning how to attack us.


We were playing Twister and we had so much FUN!

That's all for now... Bye!!

Holidays...

Hey, tommorow is the last day of exams!
*laughs
And after that, hello holidays!
Not really that fun cause we haven't even sat for our UPSR, so we can't really relaxed...-yet!
Well for this holidays, I think I'm going to
~do homework (finish up all the homework that was given, so that I can enjoy my holidays)
~shopping with some of my friends (with parents too)
~ maybe going ice skating
~study and revise (afraid I'll forget everything after the holidays!)

Yep, that's about it!
Nothing to do much, anyway.
By the way, I don't really like the holidays because I won't be able to see my friends for about 2 weeks . But when I'm schooling, I wish the holidays come faster. Have you ever felt that way before? Is that weird or what??

Yuki's Birthday Party at Eastin Hotel...

Hey, today we had our B.M and Moral test.
B.M was O.K and a little bit hard but Moral was easy.
Well, that not why I'm here today.. I'm here today to talk about Yuki's Birthday Party at Eastin Hotel.
It was on 17th May at the Swez Brasserie, Eastin Hotel. It was a buffet kinda birthday party.
I was a bit late because I had ballet before that.
I went there and wished the birthday girl all the best.
When I got there, I went to my friends, Ellisha, Sarah, Ho Ch'ng Mun and Kelly.
We went around the buffet cater and took whatever we like, we had oysters, salmon, ABC, soup, ice-cream and many other dishes.
After the meal, my friends and I started to chat about school and exams.
We went around the hotel and after that we went and EAT again.
Soon, a clown arrived to entertain Yuki's sister and all the other younger kids. As we were bored, we went over and asked the clown to make a balloons. Ellisha got a green sword, Kelly got a blue dog and Ch'ng Mun got a pink dog. After we got our balloon, we started to fool around and making up stories.
Later, we played truth or dare. My brother was also fooling around with us, making jokes that made us laugh our heads off.
Again, we went and eat. I can't stop eating the salmon though cause it is too delicious!!
We continue the games, and after that party ended.
So bad.
Well, I gotta say that the party was fun.
Here are some weird and funny pictures we took that day!
~Kelly drinking her water before heading to the buffet to grab more food!
~ Ellisha and I posing.. Haha..

I would also like to thank my parents for helping me throughout the project.
Millions of thanks to my friends that helped me and taught me to blog.

Why Should We Care for Our Parents?

Why should we care for our parents?
This is the easiest question that anyone can answer.
This is because, without our parents there won't be us.
We won't be existing if its not for them.
They are the most Loving yet Caring people in the whole universe!!
Every time our parents nag or scold us, we will start to think that they don't love us.
But that's wrong, they scold us is because they love us,
they just want us to succeed in our lives.
Why don't we just drop everything and just listen to them?

Have you ever thought about our parents?
Our mother, are the ones who shed tears for us.
They are willing to have their stomach cut open just to give birth to us.
They have their forehead ceased just to worry about us.
They also have a whole lot bunch of things to worry about,
and here we are, complaining about how hard it is to study.
Our father, are the ones that wake up every morning to work and provide
shelter for us.
If its not for him, we will be out on the road.
But do we appreciate it?
No, we will just start to complain again,
about how small the house is and all the other stuffs.

All of us are very lucky, but we just don't realize it.
We just look at the others- look at how lucky they are,
but not how lucky we are.
Therefore, it is now to show your parents how much you love and care for them.
Simply say that you love them and apologize for all the mistakes that you did,
and they will smile and say the same thing to you.

To my beloved parents,
I love you and I promise that I will study hard and hopefully I will succeed in my life.

Camp

Last 17th April to 19th April,
all of us, prefects, librarians and the class monitors and assistant class monitor went for a camp at Camp D'Perkasa, Gombak, Selangor.
Well, let's start off on the very first day (which is on Friday).
We gathered at the assembly hall to take attendance. We received a short briefing from Puan Nor Syuhada. After the briefing, we were all divided to 2 groups and was all aboard on the bus.
In the bus, we chatted and laughed.
*sigh...Let's skip til we reached our destination, ok?
By the time we reached the place, we were all amazed by the beautiful nature.
We were once again at the canteen, receiving some briefing from the facilitator; Abang Kai.
Later, in the evening, after we put our belongings in our bungalow AKA our tent, we met our facilitator at the field. We did some Ice Breaking activities and a game called Illusions. It was FUN!!
Soon, it was night time, we went back to the tent to get some beuty sleep.

On the second day,
I was waken by Ellisha Pang, one of my tent mates.
She whispered " Wake up, sleepy head!!!"
And I was like, " No thanks, nights!"
But of course she didn't let me go that easy, so in the end I was still forced to wake up.
We brushed our teeth, showered and all the other daily routine.
After that, the non-Islams gathered at the canteen while the Islams went to pray.
When we were all gathered we had our breakfast! ^^
We went to jungle trekking.
On the way to our destination,
there was one part where we have to cross a river.
We were to go group by group.
While waiting for my group,
our teachers, Encik. Khairulnizam, Encik Roshin and Encik Shah was fooling around and sprayed water at us.
After the jungle trekking,
we lined up and waited for the other activity.
Th activity that I was talking about is the SWAMP!!!
We thought it was river bathing but it turned out to be MUD BATHING!!!
Therefore, when it was my groups turn,
we were all shouting and shrieking.
When I stepped in the swamp, I could feel the mud tickling my skin.
It was so... disgusting!
There were small insects in the mud too!!
When we were done in the swamp, (thank god!!)
After that,
we went for a bath at the river!
It was so cool and fresh!!
We get to wash our clothes that were covered with mud.
From the brown muddy shirt to the original blue colored shirt.
Nice and clean!! ^^
We were bathing for quite a while when the facilitator inform us that it was time to go and have our tea break.
Later after our tea,
we were allowed to take a short nap but we did not. In fact, we played handball and Tarzan Swing!
Soon, we went to a place to learn about an activity called High Rope. We were to climb up the tree trunks, ladders, across some kind of ladder, in the ropes, tires and finally when we reached up the highest spot, we did the Flying Fox!
The High Rope was an activity on the third day, but we learned about the safety instructions on the second day.
After that, we rest again.
By the time the Sun sets,
we gathered for our Night Walk in the jungle.
Ellisha and I were both anxious and also nervous...
But the night walk was pretty fun too! Cause at the last part, we get to slide down!!
When we reached the camp site, all of us bath and drop dead(sleep)!

On the third day, we woke up a bit late.
We did some exercise and learn some Taichi moves!
Breakfast was after the morning routine,
I was so hungry that I practically gulped it all down. ^^
After that, we did some activities.
For example, we did Tarzan Swing, Spider Web and also High Rope.
The Flying Fox and the High Rope was the most exciting activity in the whole camp.
Before we return to school, we had a short bath at the river.
Soon, we left the camp and headed to school.
I was so sad because the camp was so FUN!
I hope to visit the place again! ^^
