Yesterday I preached at Faith EFC, on "Eye-Opening Jesus," from Mark 8:22-30. Upon returning to my seat after preaching, I received some immediate feedback. Zc (unbeknown to me) had listened to the whole sermon. His critique: "You said, 'Jesus is the king of the whole world'. But you should have said, 'Jesus is the king of the whole universe'." 
Right you are.

Far away in a cave there lived Magon the Dragon. He was friendly, kind and very good. He was not rude, not selfish, and not greedy. One day a plane came; it looked dangerous. Magon decided to kill the plane because the people inside were very nasty, greedy and very selfish. So Magon went out of his cave and shot fire out of his mouth. 
And that was the end of the baddies. The end.

On Friday it was Nursery Rhyme and Dragon Day. I was Miss Polly's doctor. Sof was Miss Polly but she didn't come with me on parade because she was too scared. She said, "I don't want to! I don't want to! Blah, blah, blah." YL was Jill from Jack and Jill. Ish was also Jill. Ki was Dr Foster, and Val was Miss Polly's doctor. Mat was a knight, Jen was a dragon, Ol was Michael Finnegan. 

We sang a song called Puff the Magic Dragon. After that the years came out in a parade. The teachers sang a poem. Mrs Questral sang "Their Hands are Blue."  

Today I went to the dentist because I had a hole in my tooth. Actually my filling had fallen out. I went into the surgery room by myself because she said I was old enough. When I got there, I found out I had holes in two teeth, because Dr Ling told me. There was one hole in my tooth in my top right, and one in my bottom left.

First of all, she checked all my teeth and cleaned them. Then she used some floss to clean between my teeth. It was funny because the floss kept on breaking because my teeth were very strong. Whenever the floss would break, she would cry out, "Oh!" (in a high-pitched voice). She said it was fun and my teeth were like Samson--very strong! After flossing, she got out her filling to put in my teeth. After she put the filling in, I rinsed my mouth and she cleaned my teeth once more. Then it was done. I didn't feel scared at all. It didn't even hurt. Then I went out to tell mummy, who was reading a newspaper.

The surgery was very nice. It looked like a lot of people could live there. They had a playroom with toy bricks, tables and toys. They had Wifi and music playing (like in an elevator). They had lots of sofas, newspapers and books to read. It was nice and clean and comfy.

Now I can't eat crispy and crunchy things for 24 hours, while my filling hardens.

For those in the KL/PJ area, here's something not to miss. Paul Barker, OT lecturer at STM, will present two lectures on King Solomon.

It promises to be fascinating.

I would like to tell you about all the sports we've be playing at AISM this year. This week Mr Baines has organised a triathlon so we have been training. Daddy and J and I went for a run around the pond in the park, then went swimming. At the park J kept on stopping so we had to wait for him, so we didn't get much training for cross-country or running in triathlon. At the Kompleks Renang J and I swam 50m without stopping (J did stop but didn't hold onto the side of the pool). It was tiring and I had sore arms and legs, but I felt happy when I got to the other end without crashing into another swimmer. We hope to go bike this afternoon, then that will be our triathlon.

On Wednesday, mummy plays basketball at AISM. Daddy plays a little bit too. Mummy scored four baskets. She was fast at running. 

We also play soccer on the soccer field. We finished with drills, so now we play the game. I play as goalkeeper or defender. But sometimes I play midfield as well. My favourite position is goalkeeper because I like catching the ball, and I get to use my hands.

We do swimming each week at school too. I swim at side and middle lanes, practising my freestyle and backstroke. I'm getting better at swimming.

We also learn karate, how to defend ourselves. I like karate because I get exercise. When I punch and kick I yell, "HHHAAAA-YYYAAAAHHH!" But I don't hit anyone, I just hit the air.Z

At AISM, my brother, Farb, Am and I found a treasure map. My brother followed it to the treasure. We found clues along the way. The clues were: nearly there, turn back, turn right, turn left, and go straight. The treasure was a disc of secret music, but it was just a plain disc. My favourite part was when we found the treasure. It was exciting! My brother hid the treasure and also found it so we wouldn't lose it. It will be my turn to make a treasure map next time.

Here's my secret spy map of AISM.
