On Thursday it was my birthday. I woke up and went downstairs. My family sang me happy birthday when I reached fourth last step. Then we eat some boiled eggs for breakfast. I like my birthday because I like getting and opening presents, and eating birthday cake, I mean birthday crumble.
For my birthday lunch we went to a Japanese restaurant. It was called My Little Tokyo. I ate a sushi deluxe box and drank a mango smoothie. The smoothie made me feel cold, like I'm going to freeze, but I still liked it because it tasted nice and sweet. Here's a poem for you:

The smoothie tastes nice
But only when there's no ice
I drank it twice
JJ had rice
My birthday cake I had a slice
It was a big price

In the afternoon, we went for a bike ride. I love riding bikes because I like pedalling up the hill and going fast down the hill. I like the wind in my face. It makes me feel happy. And I like taking over JJ.

I wish it was my birthday every day.

On Saturday we went to the train station to catch a train to KL Sentral because we were going to the caryard to pick up our car. It broke down the other day while Daddy and I were in the car. The repairs were finished today. Before we got on the train we waited for 25 minutes because the train was late. On the way a nice Malay man on the train helped us get there because Daddy didn't know the way. And two people offered us their seats but we didn't sit down because we thought we might get out of the train in time because it was packed. When we were on the train we were squashed like sardines (see picture), and we were thrown backwards and forwards, left and right. On the second train we got to see the driver driving. He went 30 then 40 km/h. We had a ride in Uncle Anthony's big MPV. It had a television and it was very spacious. I loved the MPV but Daddy said it was too expensive to buy.

We picked up the car and we drove it back home. They fixed the gears in the car and put in a new stereo. On the way back we were dancing in the car, and Daddy was about to dance when a motorbike bumped into our side mirror--"BOOM!!" Daddy went "OOOHHH!!" It was very funny, we laughed and laughed. We had McDonalds to celebrate Daddy's and my birthdays. I ate a Filet-O-Fish hamburger, Sprite and chips. JJ had nuggets, Daddy also had a Filet-O-Fish. 

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 Wednesday we packed to go to Singapore. We packed the car and went on the highway. It took more than four hours. I loved the drive because it was nice and bumpy and very fast. I fell asleep on the way. When we arrived, my Poppo was waiting for us at the bottom of the apartment. She was happy to see us. We unpacked the car and brought it up to the apartment in the lift. We stayed in the same room that we always stay. The room has three beds, on a bunk bed. It has a desk and you can listen to music on the radio. We play 'tent' in the room and we made a cable car with the string and a small Caterpillar vehicle that went down the cord.

We had a lovely time. We ate Christmas dinner at The Vines and had JJ's birthday at McDonald's. I like the Western food at The Vines--it was really yummy. I ate fish and chips, and JJ had spaghetti. Poppo and Daddy had steak, and Goong Goong and Mummy had Christmas turkey. Sophie and JJ ate all Poppo's mashed potato, and JJ ate everyone's strawberries. On Christmas Day we went to church at St George's where the church had open side walls. 

We went to Chloe's house and had dessert. We swam in the swimming pools at Chloe's condo, and explored the island, where there is a spa. But we didn't go in the spa because the water was green and murky. We ran around and sprayed each other with water guns. JJ said he won the water gun fight.

We like going to Singapore because there are not many mosquitoes to bite us, and Singapore has lots of fun things--better than Seremban. It was a fantastic holiday but now we're back in Malaysia we have to clean up the house, and do more school work.

On Wednesday we went to Port Dickson to stay at the Lexis Water Chalets. We lived in chalet 155. When you first enter the chalet, you see a sink, then on the floor there's a hole with some hard glass so you can see through it. When I first saw the glass I said, "Nobody step on it!" But Daddy stepped on it, and pretended to fall in by saying, "Ahhhh, I'm falling in!" Through the glass you can see some water, and we saw some rubbish floating by (an orange plastic bag). Next is a toilet, then a bath and a shower. We had a bath two times, because we loved it. It was big enough for the three of us (kids) to bath together. The next room has four beds, and we put in a portacot. I slept with Jeremy in one bed; it was nice and comfy. And there is a cupboard already there in the main room, and desk and chair and a little small fridge. There is a balcony that has two deck chairs and a little coffee table. I went on the balcony; it was nice to listen to the rain and waves on the sea.

Our chalet is built on water, and very far away from the shore. I liked the chalet because it was nice, quiet, and peaceful and comfy. There is a swimming pool; we swam in it and it has a little waterfall. There is a big playground that is outdoor, and a little playground that is indoors. We had a lovely view of the sea. The day we left we used a golf buggy. We took two trips: Dad and I went in the second trip. I sat in the front. Thank you Aunty LeeLeng for the tickets so we can stay at your water chalet.

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. 

Yesterday we went to Ocean Park. First we went on a sea merry-go-round. I rode on my favourite sea animal--a dolphin! Then we went to Whiskers Theatre to see a sea lion show. They were cute. Then we went to see a Panda village and some pandas. Then we went on the ferris wheel and the Frog Hopper. The Frog Hopper went up and down, up and down, like you're hopping. Then we went on a horse merry-go-round but JJ didn't want to go on the ride; I don't know why. 

We went on a red cable car that went up in the air, and it had a very good view of the mountains, Ocean Park, islands and the sea. I enjoyed the view and the nice cool air. At the top of the mountain, mum and I went on a flying swing that went round and round; it was very fast, so it was very cool. I didn't feel dizzy when I came down. Then we went on the Dragon roller-coaster with Mummy. It was very exciting. Daddy didn't go on the roller-coaster because he gets dizzy. He, JJ and Sophie went on the big ferris wheel instead, with a very long queue. Then we went to Ocean Theatre and saw dolphins and sea lions doing tricks. I loved the dolphins because they did good tricks; they were amazing. I would like to get pushed along by a dolphin one day. JJ, Daddy and I went on a log ride in the Raging River. I didn't get splashed at all, but JJ and Daddy did, because I made Daddy sit at the front, and I sat at the back.

Then Mummy and I went on The Rapids ride in the Rainforest. I liked it because I got splashed this time, and people on the bridge were shooting water at us. But I didn't like it when some Chinese men pushing in front of us and blocked the way. But in the end, the guards shouted at the men, and pushed him in the ride.

Then we went to The Sea Jellyfish Spectacular and saw giant jellyfish. I liked it because the jellyfish were pretty and very big. Our clothes were glowing in the dark from the lights. 

When we went on the Ocean Express train, it looked like a spaceship. On the ceiling were TVs where you can watch things that were on top of us, like being under the sea. The last thing we visited was the Grand Aquarium. There were lots of fish, in a giant tank. There were stingrays, reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, and lots of fish. I even touched a starfish. It was a fantastic day. I enjoyed all of the rides, especially the Dragon roller-coaster.

On Sunday we went to Cyberport because our friends live there now. They used to stay in Singapore, but the father now works in Hong Kong. They took us to church because they found a church for us in Hong Kong. It is called Watermark Community Church. Our friends have a view of the sea at their house. They have an indoor and outdoor playground and swimming pool. The playground and pool was very big, and I liked it because there were lots of things to play with, including a pirate ship and police ship. Jay, Annelise and I were the goodie pirates, and Sophie was the second pirate. 

In Sunday School we played a game called, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5." First, everyone has to get a number, then number 1 goes first and chooses someone's number. For example, "1, 7" and the person says, "7, 2," and so on, until every gets a turn in the game. There was a competition for the most details in a picture of when Jesus was born. My friend Ethan an I won the competition (in the picture). 

Then we visited Daddy's friend, Uncle Kev. He has a turtle and a massage chair. I liked the massage chair because it was very relaxing, and it massaged my backside. The turtle eats little fish that swim in his tank. But I was a little bit scared of the turtle, especially when it went for a walk on the ground. Afterwards we had dinner at my great, great grandmother's house. It was a lovely day. I hope the weather will get warmer so we can go to visit Ocean Park. I think Ocean Park is like Dreamworld. There are rides and games to place; also see animals and shows. There is a house just for a Panda. Today my Uncle Stephen went to Noah's Ark. Not the real Noah's Ark because it didn't land in Hong Kong.
