My Real Madrid Soccer Ball

 Today I saw, my new soccer ball roll on the astro turf field. On Thursday I bought a new Real Madrid Jabulani soccer ball. It's really AWESOME and it's really good to play with too. It was worth the price!




Yesterday I felt, super happy as I walked slowly and suddenly stopped to shoot someone in Axel's (a.k.a MY SUPER DUPER BEST FRIEND) birthday party. His party was at Lazer Treks and it was really fun. The best of it was to stay with him and have loads of fun but what was also good was that.... I was first in EVERY SINGLE match! And in the end I was the champion, when it ended at 3. But the fun continued when I went to his house and played in the pool! It was SOOO FUN!




Last week I learned that I should not be nervous about SATs. But I still had problems learning in that 'lesson'. Today was the first SATs paper and I WAS quite nervous throughout the test...




Tomorrow I hope that the Reading SAT from this year will not be as hard as the practice tests. Yes, it's sad but TOMORROW, it's Reading SAT day. For me it is the hardest or maybe 2nd hardest test and I am a bit worried about it.... But I know I AM going to get an EXCELLENT GRADE! YAY!

Records and Reflections (Monday 23rd of May 2011)

Today I saw Year 5s and 6s turn around from the CAFETERIA door disappointed. It wasn't raining enough to get anyone ACTUALLY WET, but the teachers in the cafeteria still wouldn't let anyone out. So dozens of pupils got ready and excited to go back to play and went to the door, but their excitement died when the teachers said they couldnt go and BLA BLA BLA. So they just turned around, upset, and went back to their tables....


Today I feel (slight change only for today) a bit sad because there is a change this week. My best friend which I ALWAYS play with is going to Camp Taiwan, because he is in Yr 5. So I will only see him on Saturday. That means we wont see each other for FOUR days... Thats bad for me so thats why I am a BIT down. But he is going to have a lot of fun there and I DO have other friends too... so everything is still good!


Last week I learned that Chinese teenagers can be quite annoying and a bit stupid. On Saturday, Axel came to my home and me and him went to the Science Museum right next to my home. But it was PACKED with people because of the Body Expo. So there obviously were some teenagers. 4 of them kept going around me and Axel to look at us... Which was weird. But we went in and when we came out the 4 were still there. Then they asked to take a picture of and with us. And thats what made me think they can be a bit stupid sometimes.... They went out of their way and waited outside in the HOT weather JUST so they could take a picture with us!


Tomorrow I hope that breaks will be ok without my best friend in Yr 5 and that I will find people to play with....

Saturday Soccer Championship

This Saturday, 14th of May, there was a Soccer Tournament held at TES and the Home players came out the winners, for the 2nd consecutive years.

The UNDER 12 category of the tournament consisted of 6 different teams. All from different schools. There were 2 games and whoever qualified played 2 more. Semi- final and Final or Semi-final and decision for 3rd place.

The Japanese School went to the Finals with The Red Flames and competing for the 3rd place were the Taoyuan Terminators and the Red Dragons. In the end The Terminator won 3-1 and for the Final it was 2-2. So it had to go into Extra Time. In the next 10 minutes the Red Flames got 2 more goals and won the championship.

Today I saw my team, Red Flames, become the champions of the Saturday Soccer Tournament! Our team (without subs who were: Rahul, Jatin, Yohann.) had Shawn in goal, Kristian and Chloey in defense, Mason and I in midfield and Henrique (Captain) in attack.
We played 2 games and qualified to the semi final which we won. Then we went to the finals and beat the Japanese School (who were very polite and played very well) 4-2. So we are, like last year, the CHAMPIONS!!!

Yesterday I felt excited as I knew today we were going to be the CHAMPIONS! I was very excited because my team is pretty good so I was really hoping we cold take the trophy, again!

Last week I learned that I should not try to explain something to Mr Milner when he is shouting at someone. A friend of mine was running up the stairs to get his card, and he had to go fast. But Mr Milner saw him and started telling him off. I tried to explain with him but Mr Milner got angry with ME too!

Tomorrow I hope I go watch a movie in the cinema since its been a long time since I went last and there are some movies I want to watch.

Today I saw many hills passing by. In the morning I came back from Kaouhsiung by HSR (the high-speed train) and stared out the window for a while. I watched many hills and far away mountains quickly passing by as the train sped towards Taipei. After I stopped and started playing with my uncle and then, after a while, we reached Taipei! YAY:):):)

Yesterday I felt happy, riding a bike with my uncle and family. Yesterday when I was in Kaohsiung, we rented a bike from the hotel and we rode along the bicycle path for a long time. We wanted to get to that building with 85 floors and we rode to it. After we watched the sunset from the observation floor, we got back on our bikes and rode back to the hotel.

Last week, I learned that I should not leave my soccer ball outside themusic classroom otherwise someone is going to take it. And I learned it the hard way. I left my ball outside the music classroom because I was going in to practice. I got out at the end of break and forgot to take my ball. Next break I remembered about my ball and when I went back to get it, it wasnt there. This week I found it in the Lost & Found. FINALLY!

Tomorrow I hope, that my Rock Band practice will go ok. Sometimes when our band practices we go a bit crazy and our practice is not so affective, so I hope we will do it perfectly tomorrow!
