On the 6th to 7th of June, I went for a camp at SAFRA Toa Payoh.
It was held at Whitey Room. When the camp started, the instructor let us try out some eye-popping experiments. We had two containers; one filled with cold water, and the other with hot water. We dyed them blue and red to identify the changes clearly. We then put them into a big pail fiiled with water. We found out that water and air are almost the same(hot water rises, and cold water sinks).
Eventually, we started trying out another experiment on water tension. We had two glasses. One was filled with water, but the other was empty. Madam Lu, our instructor, distributed plastic straws to everyone. We were instructed to bend the straw and insert the smaller end into the glass filled with water. We then lifted up the water-filled glass and we started sucking the other end of the straw. When the water nearly reached our mouths, we stopped sucking and let the water flow out into the empty cup. Everyone dashed for their water bottles! Mdm Lu explained that the water molecules were "holding hands" and pulling each other into the empty cup.
The following day, we went on a trip to the NEWater plant.The tour guide told us how much water was used by Singaporeans. Can you guess? Yep, you said it!THE SIZE OF 600 OLYMPIC SWIMMING POOLS!!! We viewed how the water from sewage pipes were disalinised and cleared. We observed how the bigger and the smaller particles in the 'sky juice' were cleaned using the reverse osmosis method.
When we got back, Mdm Lu gave us a little souvinier to remind us of the camp. She gave each of us a dropper.
She said in the Semtember holidays, they will have more camps. I'll love to go there again! Would you?

Sleepover at aunt's house
Last Saturday, I went to my aunt's house for a sleepover. We started off in the evening and reached there at night. It was nearly midnight then, so Aunt and I went to sleep...
The next day, we went to have our breakfast, we bought ingredients for dinner and we went home. My aunt and I have discussed about her cooking lessons. We bought corn, carrots, fish, onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, melon and many more. I was cooking fish , corn soup and bean curd with barley and ginko nuts.
After the dinner was settled I went to play some computer games for half an hour and have lunch. I was bored, so I went to watch some TV shows. I watched 日本沉没. It was about Japan, which had many earthquakes and was splitting Japan into half.It was being weighed down by a clump of rock 600 meters under the Japan Sea. The Japanese are making a sumbersible that can put an explosive that will blow the clump of rock like dropping a ballast from a sumbersible.
When my parents came, we ate dinner and said bye to aunt. I heard that my mum is planning another trip to my aunts house!

Exams
Phew! Exams are over! But after the exams, you may not be very happy...
When I first got my exam paper, my EYES nearly POPPED OUT! My marks were so near to band 3!! I remember the excuse I had. That day, I was sick and had a fever. So that day after the exam, Ms Lee told me the work for the day and my mother sent me home.She then sent me to see a doctor.
It was a sickening experience. I hope in the SA2, this won't happen again.

Shrek the third
On the 31st of May, I went to watch the movie called,'Shrek the third'. This is the summary of the movie...
Shrek the third is a movie about a male ogre, Shrek, and a female ogre, Fiona that lived happily in the castle of Far Far Away.The king was dying and ordered Shrek and Fiona next in line for the throne.
Shrek didn't want to be a king, so he went on a voyage to look for Arthur, a student that studied in a high school. When he found Arthur, they sailed back to Far Far Away. In their trip, their ship crashed into some rocks and they were left stranded on a deserted island.
They met a magician on the way back and the magician agreed to magic them back to Far Far Away. When the group got back, they saw it's new name' Go Go Away.' Shrek's friend Pinocchio was imprisoned as a coin operated puppet.Pinocchio told Shrek that an evil king had invaded Far Far Away when they were on the voyage. He had imprisoned all the fairy tale creatures and the princesses
Meanwhile, Fiona and her friends, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and the queen were imprisoned in the prison outside the castle. The queen HEADBUTTED a huge hole in the prison wall. The princesses escaped and defeated the evil king's bodyguards and stormed into the king's lair.Shrek had been captured and the king was going to kill Shrek in front of the whole kingdom.Then Shrek's sidekicks, Puss, Donkey, The three pigs, Wolf ,Gingerbread Man and Arthur broke into the lair. The king's body guards ran into the room as well. The king was then defeated by the sentence,"Even though people call you a villain, it does not mean you really are one."
I think this sentence has a very good meaning. We cannot judge a book by it's cover. We must look on the inside.
