My Favourite Teacher

He always makes us laugh with his funny jokes. He teaches us things in life, not just things in life. He treats us like his friends, he cares and asks things we happen in life. He is our beloved teacher, Jason Smart.

Jason Smart was the teacher who I dreamed of. We never have to call him 'sir' or 'teacher', he insists us calling his name 'Jason' instead. He doesn't just teaches us with boring old textbooks, but he also brings us to the outdoors frequently so we cam learn more stuff. For example in Earth Day, he doesn't just teaches us how to save the earth, but he actually takes us to save the earth. We went out that day to pick up and clear the rubbish nearby our area.

Jason also has a good sense a humour. If you pass a class where you can hear many laughing noises in my school, it's sure our class. His ability to can joke while teaching us never makes school boring.

Jason also teaches things lively. For example, when he teaches us maths, he doesn't use boring' old papers, but he lets us learn to how to solve the Rubix Cube instead. I have to say honestly, it does improve my logic, and I finally knew one thing from learning the Rubix Cube: Everything has a formula, or whatsoever.

Jason is not only good at teaching us in our studies, but he is also good at teaching us at sports too. Jason is a born footballer. In fact, everytime at P.E., he teaches us football. He has also opened a class just so he can teach us football, and it costs barely nothing.

Although we love him teaching us, but he can't teach us forever. In 2009 September, we had to say goodbye to him. Although he isn't our teacher anymore, but we will always agree he is a good teacher.

Garden of Lions

Few days ago, I went to a tourist spot in SuZhou named Shi Zi Ling, which means Garden of Lions in Chinese. There are obviouslly no lions in the 600 hundred old garden, just about 100 lion-like rocks which are placed almost everywhere in the antique garden.
I bought tickets which costs 15 yuan to go inside the fancy garden. It is said that an emporer was once lost in this gigantic garden. I was almost lost too. I walked about 2 hours in this gardens. Besides the lion-like rocks, there is also a huge maze made out of again lion-like rocks which is as big as a mini-mountain.
There is a pagoda at the center of the lake called Hu Xin Ting, which means the pagoda in the middle of the lake (duh,). There is also a pagoda which a emperor once went before and gave its name, Zhen Qu Ting. Its name was once Zhen You Qu Ting, which means fun pagoda, but the You in the name was taken away because it was too goofy.
After buying a book at the souvenir store, I went back home.

Chang Zhou- Dinosaur Park

Today, I went to a fun park, called Dinosaur Park. This isn't one of those boring museums like Natural History Museum, or any cheesy playgrounds that you can see anywhere. This is a theme park, that is as fun as Lego land and Disney Land.

This park includes as much as 20 rides, from roller coaster to water slides. To ride all of the rides, you need to be at least 150cm tall. Besides the fun rides, there are also other stuff like Elephant Show, Bird Show, Seal Show and 4D Cinema.

There are kiddie rides, like King Kong, and exciting rides, like the 'Big Windmill' which rotates 360 degrees while its speed is about 40km/h. There are about 40 souvenir shops and snack bars, which sells many meals that will fill up your hungry belly.

After riding the cool rides, you can always go to the Dinosaur Museum, which contains real fossils and helpful information. The sad news is, the park closes at 5:00 o'clock in winter which is now, so if you wanna ride all the rides, you have to come here early!

2nd Day in Hang Zhou

I woke up at 8:00 o’clock, which was a pretty hard thing to do because of last night watching movies and television series at the hotel. After eating breakfast at the Chinese fast food restaurant besides the hotel, then I went on the bus to go to today’s destination——Long Jing Village, which was famous for its tea, Long Jing tea. It took 45 minutes via bus, and 15 minutes via car, which is also known as the local taxi to a place near the village. I walked up the village through a road which the Emperor Kang Xi had took a walk before.

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

I arrived China this Thursday, via train to Kuala Lumpur from Penang, and to Hang Zhou via Air Asia. I travelled at Hang Zhou before arriving my destination- Su Zhou, which is 2 hours away from here, Hang Zhou.

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.

School Holidays

Now that the school days are over, the so called 'fun' holidays come. But holidays are not always fun. Sometimes they can be boring and like the usual school days. You will know what I mean by looking down "Anonymous's" average holiday day.

7:30: Wake up

8:00: Breakfast

9:00:Tution

12:00:___ Class

2:00: Lunch

3:00: Play

5:00: Study

6:00: TV

7:00: Dinner

9:00: Sleep

I got only one fact wrong, the fact that this kind of holiday is not as boring as the usual school days, its more boring and more bad than the usual school days!!! I think Anonymous would rather not have the holidays if he actually had to follow the time table up there!!!

Actually, my holiday is just about the same, without the tuition and more computer time. But still, it was boring to stay at home listening songs and playing games. Even though I love playing games, but it becomes boring if you do it every day. All I want is to go out and go shopping or rent some tapes, go to fun fairs, but sadly, my wish just cant come true... :(

But anyways, a few days later, I'm going to China for 1 month which has a lot of places to play, so my holidays wouldn't be so boring, like staying at home watching TV. Imagine a whole holiday watching TV!

Farewell ceremony

Today is the day which the Farewell Ceremony is celebrated. Of all of the days I've been through, today was the saddest. If you have never been through all of this, you will never understand why this is sad.

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.
