Its almost the beginning of a new year.

It happens every year.

My new year holidays is nearly coming to an end.

I’ve sent postcards to my friends.

My second term exam is coming fast.

When will the summer holidays arrive at last.

1^st of January is the New Year Day!

That means five more months until May.

These days is getting colder and colder.

Maybe its even more cold in the Star Ferry Pier.

Now, it’s a Happy New Year.

My exams are coming,

I need to study hard.

I won’t get to play football,

For two or three weeks.

I hope I do well,

In every subject,

Not just a pass, but a high mark.

So that to get the praise,

To win the prize.

I hope my conduct grade,

Will be at least b+,

Last year was worse,

I only got C+,

I plan to improve it,

By paying attention in class.

I won’t have much time left,

To study.

I will use them wisely,

Starting from this week…………

On the 5^th of September until 9th of September was a very special day for me. It was also an unforgettable experience for me. I had a 5-day 4-night military camp. It is actually called Shenzen Whompao Military leadership training camp. All though all the instructions and the commands were in Putonghua. But I knew most of them by their pronunciation. Putonghua Is very similar to Chinese. “Ee” means one, “Er” means two, “San” means three and “Su” means four.  In the first day of camp, I already felt tired and missed my home a lot.

 I really wanted to go home but I knew it was impossible. On the second day things got better as I got used to it. Well there was also some time when we had lots of great fun. Such as tank riding, water gun fight, paintball battle, agricultural activities and kung fu training.  

We ate our breakfast, lunch and dinner usually very early than I eat it at home. And worst of it the food was not yummy. There was a tuck shop were we could buy cold drinks. And also the made was made of thin wood and there was only a blanket and a pillow. The room was not very big and we had to share it with 12 people.  

We have to do a lot of military drilling and sometimes we had to stand without moving for half an hour and if we move the trainer will scold us and ask us to do 100 push-ups.

We also had to wash the clothes ourselves. Finally on the last day of our camp I was relieved to go back home again. After this camp I’ve been more disciplined and more responsible. I’ve also got real military experience. I hope some day I can go again even though it was hard.

I’m very proud of Gurkhas as they’ve been in more hard training than have and they have trained for a long time. God bless them for their bravery and discipline.

I believe in Angels,

The kind that heaven sends.

I’m surrounded by angels,

But I call them friends.

A friend is someone we turn to,

When our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure,

For our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives,

With joy and grace.

And makes the world that we live in,

A better and a happier place.

I live in the town,
In a street.
It is crowded with traffic,
And feet.
There are Buses and Motors,
And Trams.
I wish there were Cows,
And Lambs.
The people all wait for a Boat,
For a row.
There is smoke everywhere,
That I go.
I don’t like the noise,
That I hear.
I wish there were sound proof walls,
Every where.
There is only one thing,
That I bear.
And that is cookies,
To share.
There are plenty of cookies,
For everybody.
For friends and families to donate,
To anybody.

 The best school years have gone so fast.
We have to wave goodbye at last.

Sometimes I think they have just begun,
But the truth is they are almost done

It is hard to explain the way I felt,
The first time I heard the school bell.

A smiling face welcomed me at the gate,
I was being so excited that I could not wait.

I have encountered many new things and friends.
They were here from the beginning to the end.

I will remember the love my friend have given,
And erase the moments of hatred!

I have tried hard to listen throughout the years,
Today I am confident I can do anything without fear.

I will miss everything,
Even the strict rules,
For now it is a fare well to my school.

My mother has a new baby, it is a boy.    
Which brings in our house a very own joy.

He is tiny, including his hands and ears.
When he crys, nothing comes out not even tear.

Maybe when I was a baby, I was the same!
I might have done alone all the baby game!

He eats nothing but he only drinks milk.
The clothes he does wear, are 100% silk.

He is noisy because he crys all day.
He is too young to use toys to play.

I hope, he doesn’t need to wear glasses like mine,
I hope, he doesn’t feel to miss details like mine.

Though we became brothers but may not be the same.
We will be attached together even with different aims!

My brother and I,
Always fight.
I’m sure he’s wrong.
I think I’m right.

He pinches my things,
When I’m not there.
He cheats at games,
He’s never fair.

He leaves his clothes,
All over the place.
If I complain,
He pulls a face.

Every morning I’ve to wait.
To take him to school,
We’re always late.

But however naughty,
He can be.
Nothing must hurt him,He’s smaller than me.

Little by little, I’ve been growing.

It happened, to me without even knowing.

It happened, so slow without showing.

But today, I know, I’ve been growing.

For last year’s shirt which used to be big.

Today it’s tight and small on me.

That’s how I know I’ve been growing.

I live in an apartment near a street.

The building is about 300 feet.

This is in a big city block.

They are made by solid rock.

The windowsills are made of pure steel.

But they don’t look quite real.

All around, there are just the trees,

That’s why I wonder what I would see.

Nature is very green.

It’s also very clean.

In nature, it smells so good.

That always brings sweet mood.

The air in nature is very healthy.No one can make it not even if you are wealthy.
