Today my mother took us to a bicycle shop to get my training wheels off my bike, and also to look for a bike for dad, herself and Sophie (the same bike for all of them). The uncle at the store also pumped up my tyres. It was like getting my bike tuned. Then this afternoon I tested my bike out. I nearly fell off. I practiced by riding down the hill without my father's help, and also without training wheels. The hill had grass on it. I start by putting my right foot on pedal nearly at the top, and my left foot on the ground. Then I push my foot as hard as I can, like an accelerator, and then when I start cycling off I put my left foot back on the pedal. I did it perfectly. It's not hard to balance. It felt very nice to ride without training wheels. I could go faster, very, very, very, very fast. Even faster than Zac, even though he used to be faster than me. I cycled home; Daddy didn't have to hold onto me.

On Monday we moved into our new house in Alam Damai. A big red truck with five uncles came and moved all our furniture and boxes. Zac and I stayed at Aunty Natalie’s house while Mummy, Daddy and Sophie drove up and down from KL. We watched Ultraman, Ben 10, and Fireman Sam. Aunty Natalie made us watch Power Rangers too because it was her favourite movie from she was a kid. When we drove to KL one of the uncles helping to move house had to come in our car. It took two days to move house. The next day my grandfather (Goong Goong) and my grandmother (Po Po) came. I like it when they come to visit because they buy me things, like a Ben 10 toy and my Transformers study book. They went to buy some lunch while me and Dad stayed home. For breakfast we had toast and cereal and biscuits. Today we did some homeschooling with Mummy—Let’s Read and guessing what some magnified things were, like sugar and wool. The house is big and messy. It has boxes and toys everywhere. The house is green and white. My brother is sleeping on a bed, and I am sleeping on a mattress on the floor because my Goong Goong and Po Po are sleeping on my bed. I like my house because it’s big and strong, with lots of places to play. My Journey to Hong Kong, by Jay 02/12/2011
On Wednesday we caught a plane because we had to fly to Hong Kong. We caught a plane that was called Air Asia. It took four hours to get to Hong Kong because our plane was not going fast. Then we caught a shuttle bus because it was the fastest vehicle in the country. Then we took a taxi that took us to the apartment that we are staying in. We took over 1000 cars and I forgot to tell you about the train ride: there was blue flashing light so we know when our stop comes. And we saw a Christmas tree with beautiful lights, with changing colours, on the tall office building. My favourite transport was the shuttle bus because it was fast. The end. My Bike Ride, by Jay 22/11/2011
Today Daddy and I went for a bike ride on the safe road and on the main road. I rode over four speed bumps. On the speed bumps I feel myself bump, bump, bump, bumping. And we went over the grass in the park. Pedalling through the pretty footpath I looked at the beautiful park, with a swing, a slippery slide and monkey bars. The monkey bars are quite hard, so I don't do them often. I don't like the swing because I feel sick when I go on it. When I was riding I saw two dogs. One dog was big and one dog was little, like a sausage. I thought they were going to chase me, but they didn't. The little dog was licking the big dog's behind. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting! So I went fast, fast by using my fire and lighting, and pedalled as fast I can. I'm getting better at cycling every day. Daddy said I have to learn to ride, otherwise everyone in KL (I mean, Kuala Lumpur) will laugh at me. Soon I can take off my training wheels, if I learn properly. Thank God I can ride my bike, and we came back before the rain came. Visit to new school, by Jay 17/11/2011
Last Wednesday my family and I went to my new school. My new school is called the Australian International School. It had many classrooms, a library, and you can even have lunch there. In the library there were many books, more than one hundred. I read lots of books, including books about fire trucks and fire equipment. There was a computer that you can find books on. Pretty cool, right? In the library we had an exam. It was a hard exam. I only got four questions wrong in the exam. I am going to year 1 next year and my brother is going to year 3. After the exam we had a meeting with the principal and he said my reading is like an 8 year old. Then we went to the shopping centre and we had donuts, a croissant with tomato, lettuce and cheese. That was yummy, yummy, yummy. After that we went to get a photo for my brother to give to the school. At lunchtime we went to KFC for a hamburger, and met the house agent there. The shopping centre has a river in the middle of it, and lots of boats that you can ride in. There were orange and black fish in the river. My brother’s favourite fish were the catfish with the whiskers. Finding House Day, by Jay 07/11/2011
On Wednesday we went to Kuala Lumpur because we needed to rent a new house. All my family went. One agent showed us two houses. I liked the houses because they're big, and near a playground. In the second house, there was a family living in it. I liked the fan because it had lots of buttons. Another agent showed us one house, and we are going to get his house. It was a nice house with two stories. They were painting it and putting in kitchen cupboards. We've still got one more thing to get, and it's a new car. Actually, a second hand car. We have one car only. I had a good time there and then we went straight home. And I got hungry on the way home, so I ate animal biscuits. There were lion biscuits, tiger biscuits, elephant biscuits, and bunny biscuits, and lots more others. Sophie cried because Zac said "Don't have too much biscuits as you'll get sick." And Zac said that to me as well. The end. A Visit to KL 02/11/2011
On Wednesday it was Deepavali (Festival of Lights) holiday so we went to KL to visit our cousins Lizzy and Isaac. Lizzy, Sophie, me and the maid, called Sol, watched Tinkerbell. I liked the movie because I liked watching Tinkerbell getting born, and it was funny, especially when Tinkerbell was trying to be a light fairy, but she accidentally got light on her bot-bot, and she got chased by the light bugs. JJ and Isaac watched Transformers. After that we all played lions but JJ couldn't stay still for long. I was the daddy lion, Lizzy was the mother lion, and JJ and Isaac were the brother lions. I liked playing lions because it was fun; I liked being the daddy lion. For lunch we had Chinese roast pork with rice, and iced Milo. The grown-ups went out for Japanese without us. I wasn't happy because I love sushimi. But the grown-ups wanted to have a special talk together. When we had to go home it was raining. Mummy drove because Daddy was away at a work, not fun, camp. There has been lots of lights and fireworks every night. Before, the lights and electricity went out because it is Deepavali and they used up all the electricity. I like playing with Lizzy because she likes the same things as me, and JJ likes Isaac because they like the same things too. Lizzy and I like art and craft, such as drawing and painting, making things, and building castles. We also like watching the same movies. JJ and Isaac like playing transformers, and cars, and play fighting. It was an excellent day; I had lots of fun. Jay's Graduation, by Zac 24/10/2011
On Saturday it was JJ’s school concert. He performed four times. He graduated. One of the songs was “Love in Any Language, Straight from the Heart.” He had to wear white gloves and use sign language. He was wearing a green T-shirt and dark blue jeans. He had to tap a girl on the shoulder to bring her down, and shake her hand because she forgot the actions. The other songs were “Tien Mi Mi” (Sweet, Sweet Honey), “There’s a Place in the Sun,” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” I liked the singing and dancing because JJ looked cute. I liked “Tien Mi Mi” the best because I like the words and the actions. Daddy went on stage for a peg contest and he won! He had to clip all the pegs onto the coat hanger in the right order. He won three chocolate bars. The chocolate was yummy; I love hazelnut chocolate. He won against two people. JJ received a certificate for graduating from Tadika (kindergarten). I had to stand on a chair to see him because everyone was in the way because I’m just a kid. JJ looked funny because he wasn’t smiling. He was wearing a hat and a black graduating gown. He enjoyed himself and his teacher gave him a chocolate. I graduated from kindergarten last year and wore a hat and gown too. I had to tell the story “Hattie and the Fox’ to everyone without looking at the words. We got to hold candles and sing “This little light of mine” and wear make-up. On the way home we saw lot of colourful, pretty lights because it’s Deepavali (Indian Hindu) festival. There were lots of people on the streets so it took longer to drive home. When JJ got home he drank a Ribena because his head felt dizzy. After he drank it he felt better. To the movies 20/08/2011
After our swim this morning, Daddy took us to see Cars 2. We were looking forward to going to the cinema all week, and were feeling nervous before the movie started. But it was great! Better than Kung Fu Panda 2. Favourite part of the movie: - Zac: I liked the beginning, where Finn fights the baddies on the oil rig. - Jay: I liked the end, where they catch all the baddies. Thank you Aunty Ming Lee for getting us the tickets! |
