Hey readers, sorry my posts have been so short lately! Well... let's see where to start...

After my Xiamen trip (which I will elaborate about in another post as I do not have some Important Documents with me now), I was pretty tired. Anyway there were only 3 more days of school so I just went and most of it was just card games. :)

After that, on Thursday, Primary 5 Prize-Giving Ceremony, I got diarrhea and vomiting. So I didn't come. That's how I spent my first 2 "unofficial" days of my holidays. After that, at about Friday in the afternoon it got better and I got well very soon after that.

On Saturday, I went for my music class (of course) and my teacher asked me to buy a few more books (about scales etc.) and also asked me if I was interested in taking my Theory Test Grade 2 (like many other people I skipped Grade 1) and I agreed immediately! So I have an extra test next year in March.

After my music class, my mom, brother and I went to the library and tried to borrow some of my Reading List books. Those books are supposed to help me understand next year's work better, I think. So I found 2 by Chaim Potok, but I sort of found it a bit boring. I borrowed them anyway. Then, we went up to the "Verging All Teens" sections (referred to VAT from now on) and from the first shelf my mom found about 1 or 2 of the books already! I started reading immediately. Once she had gotten lots of books, she brought my brother down to the Basement level where there were books for little kids (like him). And I stayed at VAT and read and read! After that, a band of some sort came and performed. I think they said there were from Park something... just not Linkin' Park. :)

On Sunday, my mom needed to return to office to work so we followed her back. We packed lots of stuff to do as well so we wouldn't get bored. I brought a book, some cards, and some rough paper to draw on. My brother stuffed his bag with toys! When we got there, my mom put us at 2 tables and then went to do her work. For lunch, I had curry chicken noodles! Yum!

When my mom finished her work, or at least had done enough for the day, which was at about 5+, we took a taxi to Chua Chu Kang, Lot 1, and caught the show [Madagascar Escape 2 Africa]! It was really nice, and cool! But to get the story please go and watch the show. :)

And today, in the morning from 9am to 12pm, we had band. Imagine the first "official" day of holidays and you can't sleep late and still have to go to school for CCA! But it was quite ok as the Instructor who I didn't like (I'll elaborate later) didn't come and another Instructor came. Hurray! And this instructor would concentrate section by section and we could do anything if it was not our turn and kept quiet. So I just kept reading my book until it was my (horn) section's turn. Quite uneventful, just preparing for tomorrow's Band Sharing @ Zhenghua Primary School. Yea, my whole 1st week of holidays is stuck with Band Practice! :( Wish me luck!

Now, about why I don't like that certain band instructor. She thinks she's boss, and whatever she tells us, which is that we will not get our DSA (Leadership Award) if we do not turn up for Band Practice on both Tuesdays and Fridays. But the Band Teacher in Charge says that she never heard of this and that we are still allowed to come only on one of the days. And another time, she scolded my section because we were playing the Bb scale from Low G but she expected us to play from our normal G up to High G. And she never told us!
She just said "Didn't I tell you before? Section Leader?"
then, as I was section leader and I had never ever heard of it,
I said "But you never told us before!"
she, of course, denied it,
She said "Of course I did, you just weren't listening!"
But I know it had to be wrong because I always listen during band practices and the other horn players also agreed that they had never heard her tell us about it.

So, there, my opinion on why I do not like her.

Well, bye now, I am going to do my Normal Chinese 5A workbook.

Maybe I'll talk more later though I dunno what more I could talk about.

And 1 more thing, go to my list of blogs and go to [Diary Not Diary of CYEC] and subscribe to her Mystery Stories. It's a lot of fun!!! (Don't worry, she's just someone from our classes)

Bye,
