On Wednesday we went to the airport because we were going to go to Hong Kong to visit my daddy's Nanna (NeNe). We have an aunty called Aunty Yolanda; today she took us out to buy things and have lunch together. We are staying at Aunty Eileen's house. Aunty Yolanda's house has a garden with two turtles in it. It has a pond, stepping stones, a swing, fish, plants, and grass. When my Aunty Shevon was little, when she watched the fish swim under the bridge she fell in the water! That would be funny! Today we turned the turtle upside down and watched him come out. But it didn't come out so we turned it back the right way, and then ten minutes later it came out and walked all the way to the pile of leaves in the corner to hide. We go up to NeNe's house for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

It is cold in Hong Kong. I wear my jacket nearly all the time. I love Hong Kong because it is nice and cool, with lots of shops. Aunty Yolanda used to have a dog, but she died. We went on seven transportations: airplane, bus, tram, car, walking, train, and taxi. I feel happy and excited to visit Hong Kong. You buy things and do things that we don't get in Malaysia, like catching trams, and there are lots of shops. And I like visiting my aunties, friends, and relatives.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

On Sunday I went to Taman Ujong Methodist Church because Daddy had to preach there. He preached on the Book of Ruth, and how Boaz was a knight in shining armour. Daddy also talked about how I prayed before I played Uno so I can win. I liked his preaching because it was interesting and I liked the way he was talking. But it was very long, so I felt bored and started playing.

We played in the crèche because Sophie had to be there and Mummy had to go on stage too. Mummy shared with a world map, showing why we’re in Malaysia on out mission term, and where we’re from. There were toys in the crèche for older kids. We played with Kung Fu Panda toys—their names were Tigress and Monkey. We also played with a wooden train set; I think it was from Ikea. Jay Jay and I took turns moving the train around ten times each.

After the service we had a yummy lunch. It was Ivy’s sixth birthday, so we celebrated with a multi-almond-cream cake. It was yummy because it was sweet and had lots of cream. I especially liked eating the red icing. I ate two slices. I also had thin noodles with soya sauce, a boiled egg, and jelly to eat (green at the top and white at the bottom). I didn’t have a drink. Sophie ate ten prawn crackers and Daddy said afterwards that she smelled like a prawn cracker.

When we got home, we played with our toys—soft toys, Playmobil, and cars, and trucks and aeroplanes, and Transformers. It is rainy season so it rained hard yesterday, this morning and this afternoon. Daddy cooked because Mummy wanted Daddy to cook. I helped Daddy and Mummy says Daddy’s cooking is better than hers. We had minced pork with tofu, veggies and rice. Daddy has some special cooking secrets and he chopped the garlic smaller so we wouldn’t see it and taste it.

My second fruit is durian (my favourite is coconut). I like durian because it is creamy and sweet and because it's yellow. (Yellow is my favourite colour.)
I would eat durian every night if mummy and daddy let me, but they don't. So I eat it when they let me. (I always ask them anyway.)

Started on Wednesday, finished this morning:
