Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 11

Day 11, December 25th 2012

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is finally here everyone! Hope you all had a amazing day full of joy and wonderful things! My sister, Tessa and my friend Caelan and I all got up before 7 ready to go downstairs and see what was under the Christmas tree. But the rule was we weren't allowed. So we waited 2 minutes until it was 7. Then we got all the parents up and the rest of the kids. We rushed downstairs to see what was underneath the tree. My family and Caelans family all unwrapped presents from Santa and from each other all together. One of the things I got was the new iPod Touch 5, neon yellow and a mustache case. When I got it I literally screamed because I was so exited to get one. My sister, brother and I all shared  an iPod Touch 4 before, but it got annoying sharing when your brother is 4 and is always wanting it. So my sister and I both got our own and my brother got the old one. But Christmas is not about the presents, it's about spending time with your family and friends. And thats exactly what my family and I did on Christmas day. We had a big Christmas lunch with friends that lasted 5 hours! It was great and I had a lot of fun! 

I hope you all had a great Christmas and photos are on their way!

One Direction Christmas!

Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 2

Day 2, December 16th 2012

Today was a very relaxed day. I slept in until 11:30 and didn't get out of bed for another hour on top of that. I love sleeping in in the holidays. It's a chance to catch up on sleep and just relax. 

So today, specifically in the evening my family and I went round to some family friends house for dinner. We were there for about 5 hours and didn't get back home until late. On the right is a pic of the rest of the kids playing on the trampoline. The kids, me being the eldest, had lamb, rice, peas, and sushi for dinner. I love sushi because it is delicious and depending on what type of sushi, it can be healthy as well.  The lamb was beautifully cooked as well. The kids played for the rest of the evening and watched a movie called "Prancer". It is about one fo Santas reindeer that gets lost and a little girl finds him. That happens at about 20 min into the 1 and a half hour long movie. What happens in the rest of the movie is the reindeer is hidden by the girl in her dads shed, he doesn't know its there, he finds out, he sells it, the girl goes to get it back, she falls from a tree whilst trying to save the reindeer  people sing to her from her window, the reindeer goes back home to Santa. Thats basically the whole movie. 1 hour and a half. To be honest, it wasn't the best Christmas movie as you can probably see but I still had a great time at their house. 

Hope you guys are having a great start to the holidays and tomorrow is going to be and interesting day.......I'll keep you posted!

9 days till Christmas! Yay!

Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 1

Day 1, December 15th 2012


Hey Everyone! Hope you guys have a amazing holiday. So what I have decided to do, is do a Christmas Holiday Round-Up and post what I have been up to over the holidays. I'll start at day 1 and keep going until the end of the holidays. Wish you guys a Merry Christmas and may your Christmas be full of joy, family and friends, and fun. Hope you guys have a great holiday and a Happy New Year!

Wahoo! The Christmas holidays are finally here! Ok, so it's day 1 of the holidays, not much going on so far. Im staying in singapore this year instead of going home to N.Z. BUT I will still have an amazing holiday here with friends and family. So today wasn't really a action-packed day, but I still had fun. I spent the first half of my day basically doing nothing and some homework which was total fun.....ish. But as you can see, on the left is a pic of a Christmas tree and a whole-lot-of flying white things. Well those flying white things, they're all fake snow. My family and I went to Tanglin Mall to go and play around in the fake snow and by that I mean my brother and sister playing in the fake snow whilst my Mum, Dad and I watch and laugh from the side. Every year around Christmas time Tanglin Mall make and put up a Christmas tree. They put up a different tree and decorations every year, my family and I go nearly every year. It is a lot of fun and afterwards we drive down Orchard road to look at all the Christmas light. 




On the right is me standing in the middle of the falling fake snow. It was like a blizzard but a soapy blizzard. By the end of it, my shoes were covered in the 'snow' and so was my hair! But it was a lot of fun. 

So this is what I did on day 1 of the Christmas break. 

10 days till Christmas! Yay!

Where I'm From, an Original Poem

Where I’m From

I am from the spotlight,

from song lyrics and broadway.

I am from my obsession with One Direction

and their music that I connect with.

I am from the open fields and kiwi’s.

National anthems that speak the beauty of

         the country.

I am from 1 school just 3 different campuses

           that I can all call home.

I am from barbie dolls and

numerous numbers of skirts and dresses.

Walking down the stairs all dressed up,

pretending it was a fashion shows where I was the star.

I’d do this for hours with my friends.

I am from the baby blanket that was my company whilst I dreamt at night,

a old sarong and a stuffed monkey,

that I still sleep with every night.

They hold the memories of my childhood,

and the childhood i'm still living.

The memories that I sometimes forget because of the new ones

I gain every single day.

I am from horsey rides, piggy backs,

and the times spend riding shoulders.

I am from the artist, the principle, and the caregiver.

I am from beliefs and values that stay with me in all that I do.

I am from the blisters, bruises and scars representing

hard work, commitment, pain and strength.

the same blisters that remind me to keep going,

that remind me to work hard for what I want.

I am from the mental scar that reminds me of the day

where the truth was revealed, and the demon inside of him was uncovered.

I am from the replay of that day.

It haunts me like a shadow sometimes.

but it keeps me going.

I am from that memory that tell me to keep going

and that not everything is what it seems.

I am from a place where nothing is as bad as it seems.

I am from the constant belief that everything happens for a reason.

Good or bad, it happened for a reason.

I am from those time when you’d think the whole world

was against you and you had no way out.

Then I remembered all the amazing things in life

and how much people loved me and how much I loved them and life.

I am from love and lost.

Win some lose some.

I was from pink and now i'm from purple.

Both represent different things that are within me

and what I love doing.

I am from a loud, free, active, bouncy, upbeat, complicated, painful, amazing, fabulous

life and thats just my world and my life.

And it’s everything about me and my past

that makes me who I am and where I’m from.

I wrote this poem about myself and where I come from. It was inspired by the original “Where I’m From’ poem by George Ella Lyon. This poem is really about my life and the memories and experiences I have had over the years. It mostly focuses on what I did as a child and the games and experiences I had. What I did is I didn’t want to hide everything in the poem because otherwise the poem would make no sense if it didn’t have any clues as to the meaning. So I just wrote out the truth. But in some parts where it gets more personal and the parts that were a big part of my life, I was more protective over it. I used metaphors and link what I was trying to say to other things to say what I wanted without showing too much. Throughout the poem I share things that have happened over to me over the ears and the things that I believe in.
