Something That Happened In School

It was just like every other Thursday. Actually, Thursday is the best day of the whole week because they have my favourite subjects like PE Theory and Design and Technology. Most of the school day had already passed and we were having our last period of the day, PE Theory.

Miss Sheika was teaching the class about different methods of training and it was really engaging and interesting as there are many sporty people in our class(like me)! All of a sudden, there was a ear-piercing siren that seemed to come from everywhere. The whole class gave a long moan as we knew what was happening. It was the annual fire drill that the school had been preparing us since the start of school. After receiving the instructions from the principal on where the fire had broken out, we all lined up outside in an 'orderly' manner. Thankfully our 'responsible' monitor, Gareth, knew which staircase we were supposed to take to the assembly area which was the field. Although we had done this before a year ago, we were still quite excited.
When we reached the field, we were given a place to sit down. The sun was scorching and we were all really irritated as school was going to be dismissed soon. Everyone was involved in the drill including the cleaners and librarians. It was quite a funny sight. I bet they were as irritated as us! It was a first time experience for the Secondary ones and it was really assuring to see them being so prepared and ready. Soon, our form teacher took our attendance and we were dismissed class by class.
We immediately rushed back to class, packed our bags and left for home. Although this fire drill exercise happens only once a year, we Victorians can learn alot from it. Through this exercise, we are made to be prepared and alert always. Under the watchful eye of the school staff and teachers, we made this fire drill a really good one in many years. I hope that if there is any emergency that occurs both inside and outside of school, we will always be calm and be brave. That is truly what every Victorian should be. Moogalia!

A Memorable Day

I have been waiting for that day for a long time. Not really that long actually. My eldest sister was coming back from Hong Kong on tuesday. I can still remember the day where she made her way to the airport just before my school holidays. Having been unable to spend Christmas with her, I was really looking forward to spending some quality time together. My eldest sister graduated from her Masters in Brisbane after being there for five years in Australia. You may wonder how did she end up in Hong Kong when she was in Australia, but actually, she went to Hong Kong to look for a job to experience how it would be like first.
After taking my bath, my whole family left for the airport to pick her up. As we entered the arrival hall, there were throngs of people there. Some were crying and some were smiling happily. It was really an emotional place. We walked towards the baggage claim and waited. And waited. Everytime a long hair girl walked towards us, we would get really excited thinking it was my sister. Finally, after much 'tension', we saw this familiar person pushing her trolley with many huge luggages piled on top of one another. And indeed, it was my one and only eldest sister!
Just like any other parent, my mother was the first to run up to my sister. My mother hugged and kissed her. The most ironical part was that my mother was crying although it was only a few months and that she should be happy that my sister was back. I guess this shows how much a parent actually loves their child. My second sister and I also could not contain our excitement for we had so many stories to tell our sister. After this, we all left for home sweet home for dinner as one family.
My eldest sister has always been nice and loving to me. She was always a friend when I needed help or advice. I have always enjoyed her company and I am really looking forward to spending Chinese New Year with her. I definitely know that we 3 siblings will have alot of fun together! MoogaliA!

A Moment I Enjoyed With My Family

Last Friday, after having dinner, my family and I left for Malaysia for my cousin's wedding. It was a 4 hour journey by car and my dad drove. My mum had already left for Malaysia earlier that morning by herself. Although I was tired, I tried my best to stay awake through the whole journey. But I still fell asleep!
When I woke up, we had already arrived at my 7th's aunty's place. As it was already late and after having a long and tiring day, we decided to go to bed early. But with all the excitement waiting for us the following day, I was really unable to sleep!
The next morning, I woke to the sound of my family and relatives busy getting ready to leave for what we chinese call a 'tea ceremony' at my uncle's house. It is a chinese custom practiced during weddings where the bride and groom 'offer' tea to their elders as a sign of respect. As my mother has 14 brothers and sisters, it was no wonder we relatives took the oppurtunity to catch up with one another after not meeting for quite some time. It's really amazing how I can remember so many of my relatives! After the tea ceremony, my relatives and I had lunch at my 5th uncle's house. Not long after, we all started to leave as we all had to get ready for the long awaited main event of the day, the wedding dinner.
Just like every other girl, all my female cousins, including my sister, started trying out what they were going to wear upon reaching home. In the mean time, all of us male cousins, having nothing to do, decided to create a video specially for my cousin who was getting married. We all had alot of fun while doing it. For we had never done such a thing before so we really wanted this first attempt to be special and unique for the bride and groom.
Why of course time flew by really quickly and soon it was time for us to bathe and get ready for the wedding dinner.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, most of my relatives were already there and we were all given our places to sit. Before the dinner begin, the beautiful bride and handsome groom walked in with confetti flying everywhere and music playing to welcome them. The wonderful night was accompanied with laughter and singing having fun together as one big family. And of course my cousin loved the video! This was truly a moment I enjoyed and will remember with my family. Moogalia!

The First Entry

Hello Sec 2I... I was told to post something to my blog on friday during english class so i guess i will.. It was fun creating our own blog in school.. I think a blog is a really suitable place to express your feelings in a informal way. If your thoughts are written down in a diary, others have no access to it and get to know how you feel. Therefore blogging can allow people to understand others and their feelings better. Although blogging has its negative points, it's a really good place to express yourself! That's all guys! See you guys on Monday then... Moogalia! :)
