Wild Wild Wet ( Singapore)

The scorching sun was blazing in shades of yellow.Birds chirped melodiously and the trees swayed from side to side. What a wonderful day to start off an adventurous trip!

  My family planned a spectaculars trip to Wild Wild Wet. I was so excited and finished doing my daily activities quickly so that I could make some time to pack my items for the trip. I packed all the things I needed and helped my brother to pack his things too...
Since we had packed everything we started off the journey.We took the MRT (train) to reach our  dream destination. We had to take two long trains. The train journey was an entertaining one as I got to meet my best friend named, Abirami. We chatted happily about Wild Wild Wet.We had a little confusion on the way to Wild Wild Wet as we had never made it there before. This was our first time going there. We asked some people for help and we reached there on time.We waited for a little while for our other friends to come. They were very late.So, we entered Wild Wild Wet without them. It is a nice place to have fun splashing cool water. There were many rides in the water. I loved the rides that were treacherous. I loved  the ride, which was named Ular-Lah. It contained a large boat which could hold 6 people. The most thrilling part of the ride was that the workers would push us down from a particular height . It is a large slide. So, it made the whole ride very thrilling. We loved the ride very much. After a little while, we saw our friends. We went to the ride for  a number of times along with them.
     If you would like relaxing rides and not thrilling rides,"shiok river" is the best choice. It is a long river . Many people would love that particular ride. You should enter the river. If you do not know how to swim, do not be sad. There are two options. You could either wear a life jacket or you could swim in  a float which is available in the river. There are many floats for everyone.
 We went there many times.When I went for the first time,my leg got scratched by the rocks in the river as I tried to walk in the river.Then I learnt through my painful lesson  that I should never walk in the river again.
It is best to recommend that ride if you want a relaxing one.
For babies and young children , the " Professor's  Playground" is the best to recommend. There are many mini,safe and fun slides to play. There are different kinds of things in that playground.
 One of my memorable rides was " Slide-up". It was out of the water and was under the sun. If you are afraid of water then, I would recommend this ride. (I am not scared of water... Are you?) It is a large white-coloured board. You would have to take a big float which will be provided  beside the board. You have to carry it up to a particular height and sit on the float. The workers will push you down  from there. It is a little risky as there are no belts!There are only handles to hold. It is quite fun though...
 After we had enough fun, we went to change our outfits. Then we smelled an aroma of food coming near our bags. We started to eat the delicious food that was prepared by all of our parents.After we had successfully finished our trip, we made our way out after playing in a ride called the " monkey jump". It was not in the water but on the ground. It was a really safe and a fun ride. There are four big trampolines. Each person had to stand one one trampoline after we wore the safety gear. Then we started to jump really high! I was taller than my parents. It was a splendid view from up there, really high! I would wish to go to Wild Wild Wet one more time. I would also recommend you to go to Wild Wild Wet. I guarantee you, would have a good time there in the cool water. Have fun!

Pinkety's Pranks

Once there lived a naughty little pixie named,Pinkety.He teased everyone and was always in mischief.One day,he was sitting on a may-bush.

"What shall I do for today?"he questioned himself.Soon,he came up with brilliant idea.He filled his watering can with water and perched himself on a branch of a tree.He saw a dwarf with a mackintosh and poured the water on him.He saw the dwarf running away with his mackintosh on!He laughed aloud.

After a while, came The Lord high chancellor of fairyland,talking earnestly with the prince of dreamland.The pixie poured water on them too. The chancellor thought it was raining but the clever saw the scorching sun with vibrant colours shining up in the sky with the puffy white clouds and he did not believe it was raining. 

He looked up and saw Pinkety. He got frustrated and his eyes started to turn as red as tomatoes. He screamed at his top of his lungs that he was going to take him to the king. Once, Pinkety heard that he ran away as fast as lightning.

From that day onwards, Pinkety never played his mischievous tricks on others.

Thanjavur periya Kovil

It was the June holidays!I jumped for joy. It was the time to go to India.
June 3 early morning
My family and I went to India by flight. It was a long and boring time in the flight. Once we reached our destination, we did all the procedures. Soon we went to my Father's friend's house. We visited all our friends and relatives in Chennai. After a few days, we went to Madurai by train. It was a short time. We stayed in my grandparent's house. We also visited our friends and relatives there! We planned to go to Thanjavur  by car. It was a fun trip in the car. We stopped at many places to buy things such as flowers, coconut, leaves for the prayers.
About Thanjavur Periya Kovil 
The people who have built the temple have put in a lot of workmanship, hard work and effort. They would have tried many times building the temple as it is the tallest temple and the best thing is that the shadow of the gopurum never falls on the ground. It is very hard to do that. The temple is built by king RajaRaja. Everything is sculptured very clearly and they are big.
The temple is also very humongous and beautiful.The tower is 216 feet tall.

About the Shadow- The most intersting part of this temple is the shadow of the temple, which surprisingly never falls on the ground .The Brihadeshwar Temple is one of the tallest temples in the world and is so designed that the gopurum does not cast a shadow!

I really liked the Thanjavur periya Kovil.  You must go to that temple it is spectaculars!
I hope you enjoyed this reflection of mine. I would try to upload more photos.

Importance of your spine

I read the newspaper. I am going to share my reflection on your spine being straight. We must not hunch our back because our spine would bend and when we turn old we would hunch. It is very pain and may cause many problems such as cannot remain in the posture. So better don't bend your spine now! Take care!

Importance of food

I read the newspaper and I am going to share my reflection on wastage of food. We must never waste food! The ones who have cooked and the ones who have helped put in a lot of hardwork. We must not waste their efforts! Think as if you are the one who cooked or helped and you see someone throwing the food away. How would you feel? I would feel angry as they wasted the hard efforts. So if  you waste food please do not and also tell others not to waste food.

Friends

I read an interesting newspaper and I was addicted to it like a bookworm. I would like to share it with you. I know everybody has friends. I am going to share about friends too. We have friends but do we have have friends who stay in different countries?If we have it is really good! I write letters to my friends or e-mail them. We also could talk to them or now we even can use skype and many more...if we write to them they are called pen-pals. It is very interesting to have such pen-pals. Try to have some it does not have to be your friends it may be your relatives or someone you know. Try to have some.Thank you I hope you enjoy reading my reflection and knew the importance of having pen-pals.

An amazing trip

The scorching sun was shining in different shades of yellow and orange. Birds were chirping melodiously. Trees swayed gently.

What a nice weather to start an amazing and a wonderful  day! I jumped for joy as my family and my close friends are coming to the East Coast Park. I was delighted as we can have a lot of fun!

We all met at the Serangoon MRT.(in Singapore) my friends were gorgeous looking. They were wearing beautiful dresses and their hair was filled with lovely curls and was neatly tied with bright coloured rubber bands. After we reached our long destination we were exhausted. We embarked to look and play the amazing games. I was attracted with my eyes sticked to a figure with a lot of blue and red coloured ropes. It was meant to be climbed. A shiver went down my spine. Although, I was terrified by looking at the ropes I was determined to reach the top. I  was deeply imaginating how fun it would be looking below from the top. Without a second thinking, I persevered to climb. With my one foot reaching the ropes and my hands trembling I pulled my body up and climbed the other ropes.

Out of the blue, I realized that I reached the very top! I have never been at that height before. Beads of perspiration rolled down my face. I saw a long-tunneled slide. It was slippery so I slid down as fast as lightening. I landed safe and sound on the sand. I sniffed the air. Delicious smells wafted the air. It was food! I ate the scrumptious. After the heavy meal that we had we went back home after the contenting,tiring, long journey. I quivered all over with excitement.
                                                    It is one of my best and enjoyable days ever!

A wonderful birthday

The sun was blazing in different colours. Birds chirped sweetly to the music played by John by the recorder. John was jubiliant as it was his 6th birthday. 
He invited his friends with great pleasure. His parents and siblings gave him a big hug with
 happiness . They also gave him memorable presents. When his friends came, John jumped with joy as they gave him presents which was very cool.
He made a cake with creamy icing on top that had his name and the number 6. His mother lit up the candles and they started to sing the birthday song with excitement. With all his mighty powers, John blew the candles and everything was blew up! John was very satisfied with the day and he gave his friends a goodie bag filled with goods. His friends thanked him and wished him.

Finally, everyone went back home. His parents wished him with pleasure. John enjoyed his birthday as it was very memorable to him. He was waiting for his next birthday to arrive.

Camping

I went for a camp  which was conducted by my school. This camp was only for the student leaders for p4&5.(I am a prefect) The camp was held on Friday (7&8 March) and Saturday.There was 2 groups A & B.I was in group B.I packed all my things before the camp.I went to school(It was the day of the camp).We kept all the items in a room. We only took the small bag that we packed for the trip to botanical gardens.We went by bus. I sat with my best friend and we talked non-stop.  Finally,
we reached our destination.There some people told us what we must do.They told that there were game stations that we had to find as a team and finish them to earn points. Our group earned many points and we were the first to finish.Our group name was frozen so we cheered  with enthusiasm as we finished first!
 There were attractive prizes and a man told us to choose one of the four bags.Inside the bag that we chose was  a lot of goodies. We shared all the goodies among ourselves.The games were very fun.We went to school again. Then we went to Xin Min Secondary.There we played some games.The most fun part was when we did abseiling. It was the best thing ever!

We went back to school and showered.After that we ate lunch. We went to another room and there the senior of our school taught us how to do a project! My group did the project very well!At last we went to sleep in our sleeping bags.
 The next day  we attended a workshop on leadership. That workshop taught us very much on leadership. There were also games. At last we went back home! I loved the camping very much!:) I hope to go camping again!

A trip to Istana

Me,my family and my friend's family went to Istana  which is in Dhoby Ghaut. I was so excited because I have never seen any famous peoples' house before.Me and my friend met at the MRT.We took food,picnic mat, water bottle,camera etc.We took the train from Serangoon to Dhoby Ghaut.We reached there in the evening and saw a very long queue for the entry. I was shocked. We queued a little while. Then a man came by, he saw my friend's brother who was a baby.                                    

He told that there was another queue for babies and elderly. My friend came with his grandma too. His grandma was very old. Then we moved to the other queue which was for elderly people and people with babies. The security who was standing there let us join the other queue. The  queue lead us to the security check . The securities checked us. The security checking was like the way they check us in changi airport. 

Then we walked a long way to the president's house. By the way we saw a playground. We played there a little while. We enjoyed it a lot.We went into the president's house. It was very very huge. It was the biggest house I have ever seen. There were some areas which were closed. 

The areas which were open to everyone was  the exhibitions areas. There were only 3 exhibition areas.They were full of the things that Mr president got from other  countries. There were many things from India too. They were very beautiful. All the things were very shiny.

 I liked the traditional Korean crown which  Mr president from South Korea which was in the  banquet hall. We went to the third room. It was about the president's flag.The flag  was similar to the Singapore flag but it did not have the white part. It was red in colour. The red colour means the universal brotherhood.  The crescent means young country. The five stars means justice, freedom,love,peace and equality. After we saw all the rooms,we  went outside.

We ate our food. The food was very yummy. The sad thing was that we could not take photos of the things which were inside the president's house. So we took pictures of the fountain, flowers and ourselves! It was very fun and interesting. Some shows were happening outside the president's house. I took photos of one of the acrobatics show. I loved it. Then the president  came and took photos with the people who did the shows. I took a picture of them all! At last we went back home.
                  
                       Everyone must see the president's house. It is only opened three times a year.
                                                               I am sure you will love it!
     
                                                                          Thank you!
