My holiday trip!

I went to Malacca recently. Found a very unique Peranakan restaurant "The Baba House". It used to be the house of a rich Peranakan.

Entrance of a restaurant

You must be wondering where the tables are since it's a restaurant. Look closely at the inside. Well, it was quite a grand entrance.

Many good photo-taking spots...

There's even a staircase leading upstairs to the bedrooms. No food allowed of course. ;)

Restaurant menu

The cashier is behind this counter.

The street outside the restaurant...Doesn't it remind you of Chinatown?

Class party!!!

Some photos taken during the party... I can't help smiling away whenever I look at the photos.

Waiting for more kids to arrive.

Guess who has long white hair?

Which is your favourite "pot" of plant?

Look closely at these.

Some close-ups! I was fascinated by how these plants can be grown in these lifestyle items we use every day other than the usual flower pots.

I like this. It's really unique to grow plants in a cone.

Hi! My name is Amanda Ng Jing Yi. I was born on 10 March 2000.My hobbies are reading storybooks and collecting stickers.

I have two brothers. They are Nicholas and Douglas. Nicholas and Douglas often quarrel and fight over their toys. I am not able to play with them often as I have lots of homework.

I like watching television programmes like "Tom and Jerry" because it makes me laugh loudly. My favourite subject is Mathematics. I go to Kumon for enrichment lessons. I am now learning equations. It is quite interesting as I need to add and subtract using alphabets. I am going to receive my third gold medal in November. My grandparents and parents are very proud of me.

Let's talk about...

Starring Lim Yu Kang!!!

Hi, everyone in P2L! Today, I am going to tell you something about myself. Do you know my hobby? Hee hee hee...It is lying on my bed. I even do it when I am studying for exams!!!

I was born on February 22, 2000, 11.36pm. Wow! Luckily it was before 23 February or else I would be born on the next day.

My favourite food is white pomfret. I like codfish, too. Mt favourite books are from the "Pokemon Adventures" series. So far, I have read till book 16. I am going to read book 17 on Tuesday, 16th September. It is very interesting and funny (but not very funny, only a few giggles for every joke). I would recommend you to read "Pokemon Adventures", but only if you want, because the books are very expensive.

In my house, I only have Channel 8 and a few other channels. I don't have all the other channels like Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Kids Central and Nickelodeon. I watch Channel 8. It's very fun to watch Channel 8. I don't have all those Game Boys, PSP, Nintendo or all the other stuff - I don't know their names. Boohoohoo.... :( But it's fine with me. This is not even half about me. For more information, please send in your questions on the blog.

P.S. I like ice-cream too. AND DO REMEMBER, DON'T TELL THIS TO ANYONE OUT OF THE BLOG!!! (And don't copy this short description about me.)

Hi kids,

I wonder how many of you watched the Olympics last Friday when our Singapore table tennis players played against the Koreans and the finals last night. Last Friday, I was about to go out when I caught the match on TV. It was really interesting to watch. I was very delighted when I know that Singapore had won and assured of at least a silver medal.

On Sunday, I stayed home to watch the finals, knowing that China would win. True enough, before 9.30pm, it was confirmed that Singapore was on the losing end. I switched off the TV even before the match had ended. I was slightly disappointed but to know that Singapore had clinched a silver Olympic medal is victory for us. We had waited 48 years for this. So it's truly a historical moment for Singapore.

Take a look at the article in the link below.
