I love my trip to the trip to Sentosa. I remembered that the last time to Sentosa was on a wet day with my uncle who lived in Switzerland...
He had comed to Singapore to stay for the whole week. One day, he decided to go to Sentosa since his son wanted to see the fish, especially the 'clown fish'. Do you know the 'Nemo' in the 'Finding Nemo', I'm talking about that type of fish.
When we got there, it was raining,or maybe just a light shower. We got off the cable car and went to the bus stop. Now that Sentosa was under renovation, I really missed my trip last time around Sentosa in the old monorail...sigh!
We reached the stop and walked towards the 'water' world. We could reach out to feed the rays.At first, I was a little scared when I dipped my hand in. When the ray came along, I dropped the fish!
We say many more interesting types of fishes and exhibits. One of the strangest of all was the snow angel.It lives in the Arctic and has a body shape like an angel.How interesting!
Even though the trip was short, I would remember it for life.It's because I was with my favourite uncle!

Mr Bean's Holiday
We all know, Mr Bean is a comedian, acting like a clown in the streets of town. I remember watching Mr Bean in the cinema, on his trip to France.
It was a Sunday when we went to watch the movie. In the movie, he had won a trip to France and a video camera. Mr Bean's ticket was 616. But when he turned it over, it was 919, the wining number!
I remembered there was a part when Bean was trapped in a small little town. He was then forced to join the army show. Bean was dressed like an infantry soldier and marching around the tent like a nerd. His boot then got stuck on a dressing rack and he slipped and fell to the ground. "You're fired!" shouted the video man when Bean was marching in the 'Battlefield', filming everything he saw. He was shocked and slipped to the dirt ground.
It was one of the funniest shows I had ever watched and I laughed like mad in the show.I hope you would like to watch it too!

clown fish
On the 16 March, I went to another show in the Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. The show I watched was Opereta Prima.There were four clowns in the show who were singing, dancing, juggling balls and tennis rackets, riding on uni- and tricycles, making music and clowning around as well!
In the show, I also remembered there was a clown who fell from a unicycle and lay on the floor as dead as a doornail. Another clown took a few cones and pushed them on the fainted clown's chest. Nothing happened. The other clown
rushed away, got a balloon pump and pumped the air into the other clown's clothes! How funny! The clown got up in a flash, took off his helmet and bashed the helmet on the clown's (the one which was holding the pump,of course) head!
They bounced some balls on drums, not play the drums with sticks! One clown would stand on the left, and another would stand on the right. Clown A would drop a ball on a drum and Clown B would catch it and throw it back to Clown A.The cycle would repeat, faster and faster than before.
Near the ending, the clowns actually did something very interesting. They turned off their lights, put on dark jumpsuits and juggled glow sticks and swung glow balls on rubber threads! Wow! What a colourful sight!
It was like it was the funniest show I had ever seen. It looked like they were born that way.I would like to go to a show like this again. I will laugh my eyes out again like I just did!:0

Stringy performance
I went to the Asian Civilisations Museum auditorium today to watch a string quartet perform on stage. The band was made out of people from London and Ireland who met together and formed a band. They played two violins, a viola and a double bass. They were singing songs on stage, playing their instruments and clowning around as well!
There was also once, the double bass player invited one of the audience to come on stage to play the double bass. He selected a small boy from the crowd and invited him. The boy did not know how to handle the bow, so he did a sawing action on the light wood and horse tail hair bow! The audience giggled and squealed in delight. After the boy got tired of 'sawing' the bow on the strings, he dropped it and ran back to his parents.
There was another part of the show that the double bass player took out a toy bird with flapping wings. He kicked it towards the violin player. They must be having football with the bird. The violin player then accidentally kicked the bird to the foot of the steps. The audience giggled again. The troubled usher had to pick the bird up and put it back.
I had learned something today that would be useful in the future. The violin player taught us that the bow was made out of the horse's tail hair and light wood from Brazil. The hair, when looked under the microscope, the user can see many little spikes on it, and that is the spikes that play the violin, viola and the double bass. Interesting, isn't it?

My trip on plane
I had sat on an airplane twice before. One trip to Switzerland, one to HongKong. The trips were okay, but some of the food tastes like something scrapped off from the bottom of the boots! Yuck! The toilet flush sound was always very ear-piercing and the ... Forget it...
Just let me tell you what my trips were all about...
My Switzerland trip was in the June holidays. l was overwhelmed with excitement and pictures of my uncle's home flashed through my mind. lt was only at midnight that we were able to check in. My brother and l were then very tired and were yawning away while we staggered into the plane and searched for our seats. We then slumped down into our seats and fell fast asleep. The next morning, we woke and ate our 'late' breakfast and peered out of our wet window. There was a very naturalized piece of land. It was Switzerland! I was the 1st to get out of the plane and rush to the airport. We stayed in Switzerland for 3 weeks and then we went back to Singapore.
My HongKong trip was in the December holidays. By then, the streets of HongKong were overwhelmed with colourful lights that dazzled like stars in the night sky.We checked into the hotel and stayed for five days. Our days at HongKong were extraordinarily exciting and the scenes were breathtaking.
I hope I can go and sit on the plane again...

Best Friends Forever!
My best friend is my schoolmate John Chui. We go to the same childcare centre in the same bus. Every recess, I will meet him in the canteen and then we would go to the library together to read up more about dinosaurs, usually. Sometimes, he buries me under an avalanche of questions, for example,"Are you coming today? How much work do you have? Can you play computer games?"
The most prominent feature is the frame of his face. The frame resembles the face of a monkey. John is a South Paw and there is a reason behind it. In his younger days, he lost a quarter of his right middle finger in an accident. Therefore, John had to use his left hand as his dominant hand.
This best friend has a keen sense of humour and acts effeminately.He is very enthusiastic about the 'National Geographic Channel' and keeps on telling me about the shows that are shown on television.
I share the same interest about the 'National Geographic Channel' with John. We were so fascinated to learn about nature, geography and the top ten topics. We are always very anxious to exchange information.
Unlike my classmates, John and I get to meet each other almost every day, even during school holidays, at our childcare centre.

Esplenade presents: A Touch of Zen
I had a wonderful time watching the martial arts show on the 14th of Febuary. This is how it started...
My mother and I were rushing hurriedly to the Esplanade,Theaters on the Bay. That night, there was a show called 'A Touch of Zen' My mother and I hurried into the theater and slumped down into our seats.We then waited for another five miniutes and the show started.
The show was about the Ao family. They were running away from the vicious militiamen. Along the way, the father was killed and the mother left their infant son, Ao Xiang, outside the temple. Ao Xiang was then rescued by the Zen master and the Zen master took him as one of his diciples.
I loved the story, especialy the accident in the show. Ao Xiang was sweeping the courtyard with the master. However, when Ao Xiang waved the broom, the broomhead fell off ! Everyone giggled and squealed with laughter, and watched as the diciple continued sweeping the floor with his broomstick!
To correct such mistakes, it is important and essential to check all props before the comencement of a show. The next time Ao Xiang used the broom, he took the broom that the Zen master was holding.
