Melaka Competition

"Ah!!! I'm so scared!!" Sampea wailed. Sampea and I were taking part in the Melaka competition. And this was Sampea's very first competition. And you know how she's like when she gets nervous. My friend was also taking part in the competition.

Oh!!! When my mum, Sampea, my friend and I were on the bus.... we took our seats... and began THE 6 HOUR JOUNEY TO MELAKA!!! It was so long, I got so bored! And let me tell you... the toilets there are so gross!! I mean at the immigration. We were staying at Orkid hotel. It was so far away from the stadium, but it was near the high way.

It was the next day.... Time for the competition!!!! My heart was racing but I stayed calm and thought, "just do your best!!". The others did well but the people they fought were so TALL!! Unfair right! Guess What! I had to wait for 12 whole hours to fight!! I was so sleepy! But I did my best!

I won my first round... but lost in the 2nd round. I fought with a tall indian girl with an extra eyeball on her forehead!! Hahaha!! Just kidding. I was happy that I got to improve. Because I got trashed the last time I went to Malaysia. But I think I can do better next time..

Amsterdam

"I still want to live in Amsterdam!" Sampea cried. Ever since we watched 'Passport To Euroupe', we have been asking Mummy and Daddy if we can go to Amsterdam. There's a houseboat, a field full of tulips and a kind of common food you just have to try when you're there. It's a raw fish and you eat it like a penguin, holding the fish above your mouth and gulp it down. But it's raw and I so don't want to eat it!

If I live in Amsterdam.... I will walk in a glorious field of tulips and go cycling seeing the sights. My little sisters also want to live in a houseboat. The interesting things about Amsterdam is the houseboats and the food. My dreamland is Amsterdam!

My Injured Foot

"Ouch! You stepped on my poor foot Sam!" I have limping since Sunday afternoon. When I was in Taekwondo class a girl stepped on my foot and it was so very painful I could not walk properly. At first it was just a bruise, but as the days went by, it became swollen and my fourth toe was blue and purple.

Mummy and I went to the doctor to see if my foot was fractured. "I don't know if it is fractured, you need an x-ray to see," the doctor explained. "I will make an appointment tomorrow at East-shore hospital." The doctor bandaged my foot for protection until I got the x-ray results.

Yesterday, I went to the hospital for the x-ray. We had to wait for an hour to get the results. Luckily, my foot was not fractured. I was relieved! But I still cannot run, skip and go for Taekwondo until my foot is well.

Sense Poem about Norway

I would like to see the rock formations that look like trolls

I would like to hear the trees rustle

I would like to touch the little cottages

I would like to taste the yummy food

I would like to smell the mountain air

Norway is where I want to go!

Mummy's Tummy (a Senryu poem)

Mummy's round tummy

People ask, "Are you pregnant?"

"No I am just fat!"

The Ocean (A Haiku)

Bigger than the sea

The ocean waves blow and sway

Rocking ships and boats

Tkd Australia Trip

I had to win the gold. I promised my Kong Kong that I would win the gold for him. I was taking part in the Western Australia Open Championships held in Perth. This was my first time going to Australia by myself and I was so excited!

On the day of the competition I was extremely nervous because Australia people are tall and I am short. But I kept telling myself to be confident. If you were not confident, you would not be able to fight well. When it was my turn, I walked up to the court and saw my opponent. She was the same height as me so I thought to myself maybe I have a good chance of winning. Just before the fight, Mr Rivas told me what to do, how to win points and how to confuse the opponent. I won the first round. I told myself I could do it, I could win! During half-time, Mr Rivas told me I was doing well and told me to do double turning kicks to get more points. In the second round, I saw that my opponent kept looking at the score board so when I had the chance, I swung my leg and kicked her and scored many points. The score at the end was 7-2 and I was the champion!

I felt very happy with myself because this was my first overseas competition and I won! The lesson that I learnt is to be confident about yourself and don’t be nervous.

I kept my promise to my Kong Kong. This morning, I showed him my gold trophy through Skype. He was in a hospital in Thailand lying on a bed. He did not smile or say anything because he was in a semi-coma. But I know deep down in his heart he is very proud of me.
