Birthday Party

Yesterday, I went to JinQi's birthday party. Her mother was very kind and beautiful. She bought a lot of things for us. In the evening, she took us to the North Point to eat sushi. After eating, we sang the birthday song for her. Her mother took many photos. I had a very fun day.

My Grandmother's Dream

Last Saturday night, my grandmother dreamed about my grandfather who had died a few years ago, at the age of seventy-two. When my grandfather died, my grandmother, my family members and I were very sad. My grandfather was a generous man. He is very kind hearted and good. He was a teacher at the age of twenty-five and he resigned at the age of thirty-two. He became an engineer and resigned at the age of sixty. My grandmother dreamed about the old days when she had just met my grand father when they were young. They were a sweet couple. When my grandmother woke up, she realised that she had a dream.

I Passed!

During my Mother Tongue period, I saw my Mother Tongue teacher give out the exam papers. I had failed my paper 2. After a few days, my Mother Tongue teacher told us the total score of all the components. I was shivering. After that, the teacher informed me that I had passed my examination. I felt happy.

A Goal!!

Last month, we had to play a junior team game for 3rd placing. On the first round, our opponents, Meridian Primary School , took the lead by 2:0. I was feeling hopeless without Kendy playing. He was a good player in my team. He had a high fever and could not play. By the second round, the tables were turned! We were winning because of me! I shot two goals. I passed a defender looked for an opening, then, I shot a GOAL!
The second goal was scored when my teammate passed me the ball. I realised that I couldn't stop the ball so I had to shoot it right away as it passed in front of me. GOAL! Then it was a 2 all score but Iskandar shot another goal. On the third round, the Meridian's did score some goals but we beat them 6 to 4. I was glad to be the second man of the match.!!
