My Rubik's Cube Madness Day (on 14th March 2009) :(:(:(

The Rubik's cube is a mind-bending, colour-mixing puzzle. To solve the puzzle, you need to make each of the six sides all of one colour.

There is more than one method to solve the cube. I went to a Rubik's cube class at the Civil Service Club on Saturday, and learnt the seven step method. The class was held in a room with a weird name - "The Neptune Room". Totally weird! I found it hard, I mean super duper hard to memorize this method, although it was easy in the beginning!

Thinking about it now, the lesson wasn't that bad at the end too. But the air-conditioning was just too cold! :( Luckily, I had my jacket with me; but it was not enough to keep me warm.

There were about 20 people taking the class, both children and adults. One lady got impatient after a while, when nothing happened and asked "When is the lesson going to start?" She was told that the main teacher was on the way to the Club. Once we started, it was actually quite fun to keep turning the faces of the cube given to each of us to finish one of the 7 steps. Sometimes when I made a mistake, I had to go back to a previous step to put it right before moving on to the next step.

There are symbols to tell you what way to turn the cube. They are L,R,F,U,D.B.Li,Ri,Fi,Ui,Di and Bi. I have a paper about the symbols and the method, and another one showing the seven step solution. I am keeping the papers and the cube carefully so that I can always refer to the papers when I am practising the steps with the cube.

I hope to make more friends with other children who like Rubik's cube.

Reading

Reading is one of my favourite things to do.Reading helps me to improve my languages.I must also take note of the phrases they use.I would like to recommend a book but, I don't what book to recommend!

My December Holidays(2008)

For my holidays I went overseas to India; the country is quite polluted.I wonder why. My family and I saw waterfalls in the mountains. Such A swirly road! Twisting and turning every time! My father even said that we could put our feet in the water; normally he would NOT let us do that, since it's a holiday he decided to let it go. Ahhh....cool waters. Come on, I need to wake myself up now.Then we went to Adithia's(one of my cousins) house.He had a sister who was called Nini but I call her Niniaka.Aditha's room is COOL and he has an electric guitar!But there is one more thing I want to tell you about guitars,his old guitar broke and I never heard it!

My September holidays(1/9/2008 to 7/9/2008)

During the September holidays which was (1/9/2008 to 7/9/2008),my family(except my father),and I stayed at home.Well,not exactly.From the 1st of September to 5th September we stayed at home.On the 6th of that month,my mother woke me up quite early.She said''Come on,get out of bed.Remember were going to Pula Ubin?''If you don't know where Pula Ubin is, it is on the North-Eastern part of Singapore.After I woke up,my father drove to Changi Ferry Terminal.But we stayed there for some time. ''I don`t understand it.Why is Father in the car?''I told myself.''Oh,no!We are supposed to be at Changi Point Ferry Terminal!said Father.Once we heard that we were in the wrong place,we all seated back into the car.In almost 2 minutes, we reached Changi Point Ferry Terminal.I met some of Father friends when he went to work.I greeted and shoke hand with them.All of like 15 (Ididn`t really know if the were 15 people)people waited for the the ferrys to come.There were 8 ferrys waiting for us.But each ferry could 12 passengers and 1 captain.Well, there is no maths problem.On our journey to Pula Ubin,I was't seasick,I was brainsick!On the Pula Ubin map,it said the island was shaped like a boomerang.Wow!Our guide,Alan,guided us through the Sensory Trail(the word ''sensory''means using all the senses).I could not believe that this trail was 2.5 KM long!It felt like 3 million KM!!!!!!!!I had never walked that long before?!Although it was muddy,but beautiful.Just beautiful. What a scenery!I saw some mud crabs and some very special plants and spices.Ithink the walk took 2 hours.2 Hours did you hear me or not?Finally,the trail was finshed and we headed to Singapore.I got brainsick again!And the rest of the holidays we stayed at home.Home Sweet Home!
