Catastrophy
Today, I have no thanks to give. It is a catastrophy. On a Brad Basis Chart, it would be a zero. This is the reason why. On November 22, 2006, our house became part of the Harry Potter story. Yep! Our house was a “leaky cauldronâ€. No kidding! The reason of our unfortunate happening was [...]

The Feat Of Seven
I have done a great feat today. Greater than any record done before in our household. A goal that I have been straining to reach for two months has been done. I have set a new record in my father and me’s game of Five-In-A-Row. The game is this: I am the white and my [...]

One Week: Nothing To Be Thankful
I have nothing to be thankful for. It has been a simply awful week. If I were to rate it as a judge, 10 meaning best and 1 meaning worse, I would vote about a 1. It was simply dreadful. First thing off, my watch broke. A $20 dollar watch, after just one year of [...]

Buzz… The Spelling BEE
Buzz off! I’m trying trying to “bee” our school Spelling BEE champ! Yep, it’s true! The day before yesterday, I did a spelling test for words like “opacity” or “acromegaly”. And if your spelling dictionary marks that acromegaly as wrong, like mine did, know that it is correct. Want proof?

Walking In The Hazel Mist
This evening, when I was taking a walk outside, I noticed that the creek behind our house was covered with a hazy vapor. At first, I thought that I was dizzy, because I almost never saw this kind of haze in the creek. However, when I looked at it closely, I realized it was real. [...]
Speech Contest Text
Just because I feel like it, I have decided to translate my Chinese speech contest text into English so the whole world can enjoy it! Feel free to guess where I messed up… When I was small, I loved to travel. The first time I traveled was in my mother’s tummy. I was only three [...]

Crazy Woman
Yesterday, during the speech contest, I saw a crazy woman. My mom told me later a story about her craziness. My mom, being a judge in another group, told me what had happened with her. My mom was walking in the hall when she ran up to her and said in a glee mood, “My [...]

Speech Contestant
This morning, I woke up with a horror as I realized it was Sunday, the day of the Chinese city-wide speech contest. Thousands of people in the contest! What was I going to do? Now, why was I exactly so freakish about? I suppose it wouldn’t have minded to some open-minded people (or even open-source [...]

Short Term Memory + Dad = Panic
This is a true mathematical factor: Short Term Memory + Daddy = Panic. You may be thinking, is this man crazy or what? Well, I have just proved this. Read on and find out. Today while my dad was coming out of a shop, he forgot where his car was parked. He ran around. He [...]
Computer Smarts
Today, my teacher had a temper tantrum. Before I mention this, I must tell you how the district’s computers work. The district uses Symantic’s Internet Suite for monitering our internet access. During the summer, they set up a new system. Sure. The new one was so annoying. You could not access the internet at all. [...]
