Today I saw dozens of people falling helplessly to the ground as some others skated through the ice rink as if they were simply walking. In th morning I went ice skating in Taipei Arena with my brother and Mason ( a.k.a Mei Mei). I did pretty well and even raced against a Japanese dude. Anyways, I went there because I had been there once and it was really fun, especially to see others falling. Today it was as fun as I expected and that made me feel not-bored, which was pretty good.

Yesterday I felt excited as I received the news that my uncle is coming to visit me in Taipei. My mum was talking to my uncle on Skype and then I went to ask her a question. When i got close to her I noticed she was looking very happy. Suddenly she said that uncle John, who is my favourite uncle, will be coming to Taipei. So i felt extremely happy and excited.

Last week, I learned a new song on guitar. I was bored, nothing to do, so I picked up my guitar and wondered what to play I couldn't think of a song I knew how to play but there was one I was thinking about, '21 Guns'. I went to the Internet and got the tabs. I kept playing until I was doing okay. In my opinion its a great song so it was a great achievement.

Tomorrow I hope packing my bags will not bore me to death. On Friday I'm going to Bali, Indonesia, So I have to pack my bags, that's something I passionately dislike (that last bit is just to pleasure Ms Bae). But I can't wear the same thing in my holidays and i can't go naked on the street. That leaves me with one option. Pack MY Bags!!! And although I do detest packing my bags i really want to visit Bali and if for that to happen I have to pack my bags... I will do so.

Today I saw, a couple on a motorcycle. When I was in the bus, going back home, I looked out the window to see a crazy family on a motorbike. They were doing the Chinese or Taiwanese style of riding a motorcycle with your whole family. First there was a girl. Then the father who was driving. Then a baby squished up in the middle of her father and mother, who was next. Finally, there was a boy that seemed about 10 years old, behind his mother. It is a pity that I couldn't take a picture but it surely was CRAZY!

 

Yesterday I felt nervous, knowing that today I would be going to a Year Five classroom. It felt like my tummy was itching and I kept on thinking I had forgot something which I didn't. It was crazy. But then I went to sleep and I calmed down. I just wished I would be okay.

 

Last week I learned some things about Slavery. In Topic last week we were learning about slavery and I was stunned by the number of things that you can learn about it. I knew what slavery was, but nothing about the history of it. We focused on how explorers and sailors went out of their way to capture slaves. Slaves that were captured would even help the 'white people' to catch other Indians so they could get money. After sailors captured slaves they would sell them! Disgusting it is.

Thank god in the 20th or 19th century it was stopped but even today it still happens.

 

Tomorrow I hope it will be as 'smooth' as today. I had a pretty calm and easy day and I hope tomorrow will be something of the kind. But I have PE and that means SWIMMING and that could shake things up a little. However, I think and hope tomorrow will be calm.

If you are going to do the form on me, please do the Prezi one as it's better than the Zooburst.

Today I saw very bad dog. I was looking out in the street wondering what was the answer for my Maths homework when I saw a dog going crazy. Its owner was walking one way and the dog was refusing to do the same. The owner was pulling it harder and harder and the dog started jumping and spinning and eventually going towards people to smell them. The owner, probably angry about the situation, pulled the dog harder and harder until it stopped and did the right thing.

Yesterday I felt shocked by the greatness and beaty of Martyr's Shrine. I went with my family to Martyr's Shrine yesterday noon, and it amazing. Chinese structures have always made me speechless and so had this one, even though it's not as big as most of the others.  There weren't many things to do so after we took a lot of pictures we headed out and went back home.

Last week I learned a new soccer trick. As my step-dad,brother and I were playing soccer, my step-dad decided to show us a new trick without the ball. As you run towards a direction you spin and start running the other way. Then, the marker will keep going the way you were running and you become free and your team mates will be able to pass to you.

Tomorrow I hope, Carnival will be better than I expect. Carnival has always been one of the most fun things children do during the year, but this year Ms Corry broke all the happiness by cancelling it and having just a normal parade. But to our rescue, our amazing teachers came up with an idea to dress up in something different and do a little dance. My class' theme is Alice in Wonderland and I'm dressing up as the Rabbit. We are going to do the Macarena dance which is the only dance I'm able to do. So I'm hoping it's not going to be as boring as I thought it would be in first place.
