Breakthrough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I though it interesting that "Whip my Hair" was sung by a girl two years younger than me. I also found out that she was the younger sister of Jaden Smith from "Karate Kid." I still find it hard to believe. 
  • One time when I was biking at my elementary school playground, I saw this one boy from my classroom playing. I did not want to show my identity. It seems he was waiting for this other boy left. I guessd this because next another guy from another classroom in 6th grade came. He searched the whole playground for the other guy. Then he left too! I was like,"Phew!" when I saw three boys each one from a different classroom in 6th grade coming to the playground. They were none other than those first two boys and a companion. From then on, I was always on the other half of the playground opposite from them.....
  • I am sooooooooo excited 'cause next week is a summer school/orientation for us incoming middle-schoolers. And, school is starting soon. There are 21 days counting the first day of school.

India Trip VII

We kept on running up the steps until we got a ll the way to the top. At the top was the roof. In India you can walk up to the roof of your house. After going up there, we came one level down where there were rooms. I went to my cousin's room and poked around at her books. I just read until I got bored. I read the book "Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul." I mostly did my math work other than reading that book. My schedule there was do math work, eat, read book while laying down on bed, sleep, read book while sitting up, run up and down stairs for almost no reason, go to playground and try to play on the equipment, go back home and eat, watch TV, sleep. The same applied for the next day....and we  left there Wednesday afternoon.................

India Trip VI

It was Monday morning when we left, and we were coming back Wednesday evening to Ambattur. We took a flight to Hyderabad. The airport at Hyderabad was beautiful. When we arrived at my grandma's, uncle's, and aunt's house, I was amazed at how pretty the place was. Just naturally. When I got in, the moment my brother saw the steps, he was tempted to get up there. But he could not escape. My grandma hadn't seen us in 4 years so she was excited to see us. We talked for a while and then my brother and I escaped up the steps........

India Trip V

There was alot of shopping to do today, and we were leaving for Hyderabad tomorrow, so we had to pack also. We needed clothes for our trips too so we bought things. I went to the room which used to be mine and opened the glass, see-through doors to my mini closet. In it I found many of the stuffed animals that I had left behind. We brought 2 or 3 stuffed animals back with us and all my Amar Chitra Katha books plus one I got from a bookstore in the airport. After a while, I got bored. We took alot of rest. The next morning we left for Hyderabad.........

India Trip IV

It took a while at baggage claim and we were tired. My legs were killing me for some reason. They hurt more than ever. I couldn't wait to get into an auto rickshaw or van. As we headed out, I looked for my grandparents. When we reached it was dark, but there were lights so I found my grandparents. They were so excited to see me. As we went in the car to their house, we talked and discussed about many things. Especially, my brother not speaking in our native language and how they pronounced the place we arrived at, in a funny way. Once, we reached their house and brought all our suitcases in, my brother and I stayed awake for some time until we were told to sleep. I slept well into 6:00 a.m. Then we had to wake up.....

India Trip III

The airport was very pretty but boring. We had to wait for 5 hours in the airport. I tried to sleep, but it was not comfortable and I kept waking up. Occasionally, I would get up and watch the TV on the other side of us because the one in front of us was CNN news and at times that would get pretty boring to watch too. After what felt like 5 billion years (5 hours), we boarded the airplane and we were airborne! The flight took a long time, and we had 2 meals in that flight. Plus, I watched Jungle Book 2. :P When we landed, my heart was filled with excitement and joy.......

India Trip II

As we got through the security check, I had this feeling-for no reason-that when I walked through it would beep. "Luckily, it did not,"I thought to myself.

The other side of the security check-as usual-was beauuuuuuuuuutiful. (I don't know what you guys think but I think it is beautiful. Especially, in the Singapore Airport.) I did miss the Singapore Airport a little when we arrived at the Hong Kong Airport but we'll get to that later. We waited for not much of a long period of time to my delight. When we got on the aircraft, I thought to myself,"14 hours of sitting around and not doing much."

When we landed, I realized this was the first time I actually had seen  Hong Kong, China.........
