This afternoon, mommy and I went out to buy birthday presents for Katy and Allison. I can't say what I bought because I know you might be reading this Katy.... :)

After buying the gifts, we went over to the IFC Mall. We went to the bookstore, 'Dymocks'. They renovated it and now it's waaaaay bigger! I spent a lot of time looking at all the children's books! Turns out,  there were too many books to choose from, so I didn't buy anything. But mommy wants me to practice my math more, so she bought me a really thick math notebook to do everyday >:(

After looking around in Dymocks, we went to City Super to buy stuff for dinner, and then I had to go back home for tap class. 

Since it is soon Halloween, Ms. Claire brought lots of candy for us to eat. We had to do normal, boring exercises for most of the time during the lesson, but we played a really short game at the end... it was still fun!!

Hi again! Sorry I didn't get to right an entry about yesterday... yesterday I didn't have any after school activities so I was quite bored. But at 6:00 PM I went to have a group tennis lesson. I still had some homework that I needed to finish, so by the time I was in bed, it was already very late so I didn't get a chance to write in my blog. :(

Once again, today my teacher didn't give much homework for us. So I finished homework in just about 45 minutes, then I practiced clarinet. I was about to practice my piano when I remembered that I had tap lesson, so I went to tap instead.

Tonight at school, there is a parent/teacher conference, so mommy went to school today and sister stayed here at home with me.

At school, we got permission slips for... CAMP!!! I absolutely love camp at school. We go somewhere out in the suburbs in Hong Kong for 3 days and 2 nights. It's been really fun in 3rd and 4th grade, but in 5th grade, we get to go to the best camp site in Hong Kong and we get to do really fun things like kaiaking and jet skiing and canoeing, lots of other water sports and other activities on land as well. I really can't wait for 5th grade camp which is going to start on October 19th - October 21st... too bad we can't stay at camp for 2-3 weeks!!

Tomorrow at school, we are going to have a free dress day, and my teacher wants the class to dress very wacky tomorrow. I don't have many wacky clothes, so it was really hard for me to choose wacky things to wear. Soon, I finally decided. I'll try to upload a picture tomorrow of what I looked like.

Well, I'm off to watch the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!! Bye :D

After school... wacky clothes:

Since I couldn't figure out how to upload a picture of what I looked like at school today for free dress, I'll just describe it.

I wore different socks: one with red and white stripes, one that is green with blue flowers.

I wore different shoes: one green sneaker, one red All-Star converse.

I wore brown leggings with swimming trunks with green flowers on them.

I wore a blue, baggy Abercrombie t-shirt.

I really did look wacky at school!!

It was really sunny today, so in the morning, I went swimming with Frances and Katy. When I went to the pool, Michelle and Rachel were there as well, so the 5 of us played together for a long time until we had to go home for lunch. It was really fun!!

After lunch, I had to continue finishing my Chinese homework... and now I still haven't finished it, but luckily I still have one more day to finish it until the due date.

When I finished most of my homework, I practiced my piano for quite a while, since I had to prepare for my piano exam that will be coming up in October.

After a long hour of piano, I practiced my clarinet for a bit, but my cheeks soon got tired from blowing for a long time.

And then, just when I thought I could call a friend to play with, I remembered I had to practice my violin. But there wasn't much for me to play, so I soon finished practicing violin.

Finally, I could call a friend to play. I called Rachel, and she came over to my house to play. Then Frances and Katy came over as well, and the 4 of us played together.... mostly on the computer of course!! :P . But Rachel couldn't stay for long, so after about 45 minutes or so, she had to leave. But Frances and Katy stayed, and on YouTube, we watched a movie that we really wanted to watch called The Wizards of Waverly Place movie... we still haven't gotten to finish it yet, because Frances and Katy had to leave as well for dinner, but we're nearly finished watching it, and it's really good and exciting! I'm probably not going to finish it tonight because it's already really late right now -- maybe tomorrow...

Well, gotta go get ready for tomorrow's school!

Second Day of School

It was the 2nd day of school today. Before school started, I was buzzing with excitement, really looking forward to another day in 5th grade. Today was just as fun as yesterday.

At math, we started working in our journals, unit number 1. Unit 1 is about prime numbers and factors and other stuff like that. Although I'm finding it a bit hard, I'm quite liking it! We also worked on the math we started yesterday, but I didn't get enough time to finish it, so I had to bring it back home to finish it for homework.

At writing, we started a sheet of paper called First Day Thoughts. I wrote exactly what I wrote in my blog, because in my blog, I wrote a lot about my thoughts for the first day of school. And, I didn't get to finish that either because I had to check if everybody in class had their homework from last night with them, and that took a long time to finish, so I only had about a minute to do my First Day Thoughts paper!! So, that was more homework to do. A lot of other people didn't get to finish their First Day Thoughts as well.

So, today I ended up having lots of homework, but it was all fun homework!! See you tomorrow 5th grade :)
