2nd Day in Hang Zhou
After walking up to the village, I went to a restaurant, and ate some local food, which included sour and sweet fish, Dong Bo Pork, and some kind of chicken soup that I’m not familiar with. After eating, I went down with a ‘local’ taxi to a bridge which is very long. I bought a handmade kite which costs 50 Yen and broke after 30 minutes by someone who was clumsy.
After walking pass the bridge, I went to rent a bike, but I couldn’t because you have to make a special card for it, which the place to make it is 20 minutes away from here. So I didn’t rent the bike, instead I went to a grand restaurant which has many good steak. After eating steak and drinking milkshake there for about 2 hours, I went back to the hotel and got a good night’s sleep.

At Hang Zhou 1/2
On the first day at Hang Zhou, I checked in into a three-stared hotel which has many good shows on TV (Really, with nice drama and movies). After putting the luggage and bags, I went for a stroll at XiHu Lake. When it was 5 o'clock, the sky already got pretty dark. And then some guy begin selling some simple but fun lighted-toys that you play it by tossing it in the air with a band.
Although it was about 5 yen, but people were literally rushing to by that toy. By seven o'clock, the whole sky at the park is lighted by that toy. At eight o'clock, I watched a boring show of fountains just because many people were there prepared to watch it.
After eating some beef noodles, I went to bed at room 317.

Farewell ceremony
Right after the sixth Fun & Games class, our class monitor called us to line up outside the class. All of us know whats going on. Its the ceremony that every Year 6 student has been through before——the Farewell Ceremony.
When we were in the school hall, we saw all props and things are already putted in place and order. After 20 minutes we reached there, the principal lectured a speech about leaving and being useful to the country and all that stuff. Afterwards, its show time.
But it wasn't relax time for us volunteers. We have to give teachers and the students drinks, yummy food, forks and spoon while they sit there and enjoy the shows that the students prepared.
Here's a list of the shows.
- Dance of Oh! by Girls Generation and We're All In This Together
- Dance of some random Chinese song which I keep forgetting its name
- Solo of the song Tong Hua
- Dance of the song Nobody But You which made me tremble
And pretty much I can remember, that's all of the shows. Although there were only 4 shows, but we got to enjoy the nice fried rice which has eggs and cucumber in it.
After the shows, some random girl from a random class gave a speech about thanking the teachers and all that. Then, we have to sing sad songs about leaving. About 5 people wept.
Afterwards, our school celebrity——Tan Jia Wei, who has won many international and country badminton tournaments, told his story about his training and his tournament story.
Then, the Farewell Ceremony ended. We have to walk around the hall and shake hands with all of the teachers at school, while they congratulated us with short, but meaningful words. 90% of the girls cried, and 40% (including me)of the boys cried, not just because of their iron grip, and the sad song, it's because the thought that we will never get to see our fellow mates and teachers again.
The 5 minutes that most of the people cried, was the saddest 5 minutes I've ever been through.
Afterwards, we sadly walked back class in order, scrubbing our eyes and thinking of memories.

UPSR results countdown: 1 day
The truth? I was terrified. I prayed and prayed that I can get 7As. I even made a human sacrifice (not really) to the gods to give me good results. I even hoped that the machine broke down or that the one who corrected my exam has lost my exam paper, and he/she would be responsible.
But then, it wouldn't work anyways. So I've been chilling out by surfing the Internet, watching videos and listening to songs. I don't really see it in their faces, but I'm sure that everyone is scared and stressed just as me.
Anyways, there's no point of being scared or stressed. It's pointless. Being scared and stressed doesn't give you points in the UPSR exam, so does crying and cursing, which some people do. So I keep telling myself, hey, what the point, its not that important anyways. I know it's not important, but someone obviously does. Like some middle schools.... Now hold it right there. I'm not criticizing them so please don't get the idea of suing me, because I know that experience, and don't start it over it.
So how should I not be worried? Plus, there is a terrible news about 100 Chinese Writing examintion papers of a teacher, none of them gone an A. If I wont get the chance to choose what middle school I want to go to, I will not meet my friends. Those two reasons are good enough to give me a major headache.
Now, I will have to stop writing. The stress gave me a flu...

That Damn Spotcheck!
All of us used recess time to hide those things away. But me? I got the news a bit late. So I had to hide my big box of cards in class, which is nearly impossible with the class monitor in the class. So I had to wait my chance. Finally, when the monitors were'nt in the class, I putted my big fat box up the cupboard with a bucket covering it. When I thought I was safe, one of my friends when careless, and he got caught, and his 2 deck of cards which cost a lot is taken away. He sulked, which he never before. Meantime, the co-head prefect is arguing with the co-class monitor, which isn't a nice scene. I think she told the co-class monitor not to be such big-headed, then the third world war began. They never learn.
While borrowing my friends watch counting the time till end of school, I realized my friend, who has gone practicing for the school play has forgot to hide his cards. I wasn't gonna let him to be the next victim. So I hid it at a place that no one would ever know~~~~my water bottle.
Tips for spot check.
Requirements: A non-transparent water bottle which has a big lid.
1. Drink all your water.
2. Make sure your water bottle is dry.
3. Put your forbidden item in it
4. Wait until school ends
Thats what I did.
Other people hid theirs in books, shoes, under fans, and the third floor which noone goes to.
Just then, the principal came in and told us about bringing things we should not bring and bla bla bla bla bla bla bla and she would give us another chance, so that means we can get our items back!
All of us took our items from where we hid back. We thanked god that our things werent taken away.
BTW: There's no chance of taking it back if it is taken away.

Childrens Day
I arrived at school pretty late, which is 7:15. Everybody had arrived. It I hadn't reserve my seat yesterday, I had to sit somewhere else which maybe next to a weird. So I sit next to my best friend. I putted my container filled with jelly on the table, which is full with champagne, food and etc., then I used the remaining time before the boring o' speech to play Yu-Gi-Oh with my friend, which is quite popular in my class.
At 8:15, we had to line up and go to the school hall and listen the principal and the important guests taking speeches. I didn't exactly hear what they had said, because I was busying checking my nails. After 30 minutes, we finally can get back to our class, but we cant eat yet. We have to wait the "important" guests to come and eat something first, then we can eat. When the guests left, I took out my bowl and cup and filled it with fries, fried chicken, tempura, soft drinks and champagne.
After eating and drinking and retain consciousness from a major brainfreeze, we had a class singing competition, which only 3 boys and 1 pair of girls (which is counted as 1) participated. We voted the person who is our friend, so basiclly nobody listened to what they are singing. The girls have won, for 1 particualar reason. Girls >Boys.
Then, were free. Some of us played cards, danced, played Monopoly and chatted. It went on about 2 hours. Then, the teacher organized a game for us, which is called "Find the General". The teacher told me to be the general for a couple of times, but luckily, I refused, or I would make a fool of myself.
12:25 was when the gamed ended. We recieved a bag from the school which was contained with snacks and treats, then went home happily.
Sounds like a boring Children's Day does it? Actually, its already good enough to celebrate it like this. I heard that some classes still have to have lessons!

New Disease
27 October 2010, Wednesday
Recently, there is a disease roaming around primary schools, especially grade 5 and 6. Almost everybody in the class (including me) has got the disease, called Disease L, a.k.a lovesick. The first victim of this disease is a boy and a girl 9 months ago, but that disease didn't spread far, until the day 24 September 2010, which is the day the UPSR had officially ended, this disease began to spread far and far, until 90% of the class got this horrible disease.
How can you tell that a person has been infected by this disease?
The school scientists tells it all.
The common symptoms of the male victims of Disease L are ...
- When he meets the girl he likes, he cant speak anything but Uh....
- When he meets the girl he likes, look at his face or ears. They will be unusually red*.
Information obtained from Anonymous User IP ********** YouTube Comment.
Still no remedy is known to cure this disease.
Effects of the disease: The victims (if rejected)'s brain power will decrease. They will become pessimistic. If serious, they will think of ways to take revenge or they will be emos.
To prevent school students and you becoming emos, contact Mrs. Tan (09-123573828) for Disease L prevention shots. Each shots cost 5 dollars.
