Today, 6 Changkat pupils, including the teacher and one parent, went to Ang Mo Kio Primary School. I was so excited. We went there to participate in the Chinese writing competition. Mr Li(man), the teacher, took our attendance when we reach the school. Two pupils was from primary 4, 5 and 6. When everyone reach the school, the teacher took a picture of us in the school before the competition. We were all laughing when we saw a big bus which was supposed to drive us there. We only have 8 people altogether but we took a big bus. We were all like going to a tour.

Suddenly, the teacher ask me about my brother, Choo Po Yen, if he was very naughty and said that I always bully my brother or another way round. I answered that I always bully my brother and he was shocked. He immediately asked his class pupils and he laugh at them. He thought I was very obedient and did not bully my brother as he was very naughty. He could not even believe that I was not like that.

After that, we walk into the bus. The bus was in peace, no noise was made. We all sat at different seats and did not even talk to each other.I was feeling bored. I observed things happening outside and I saw cedar girls secondary school. It was so old and far from MRT station. I think most people living in Simei will not go to that school as when we go home late, it might be dark and you will sure feel scared. It was a long journey to the school too.

Finally, we reached Ang Mo Kio primary school and we saw many schools participants waiting there. The teacher told us to alight from the bus and we went to see the notice board where our group was. The teacher told us to not panic when writing and make our words illegible. We went up to the hall as a group and walk into the hall. Teachers and parents was not allowed to go up with us so we went ourselves. We were supposed to sit down at where our group was. I sat down and we waited there for a long time before it starts. So boring...

After about 30 minutes, the Chairman and so on who organised the competition came and made a speech. The "person" ( no names mention) who made the speech did not read it fluently and stop halfway when reading. It was a terrible speech I had ever heard as he did not speak properly. I was "ignoring" the speech and did not really pay attention to it.

After the speech, we proceed to the classroom. While we were walking up the stairs, I noticed that there was a green coloured glass that seems like transparent and we could have a clear view of what is happening outside. It was so cool! I wished it was our school. Upon reaching the classroom, we find our seats and sat down. It was so short! I could not imagine a person that has a fat body sit on it as it was so uncomfortable for P6 student to sit on.

A worker that is responsible to give out the paper pass the writing paper to us first and then the question paper. There was 1 hour 30 minutes for us to write a composition. It was so long! How I wish that we can have this much time to write a composition. The examiner told us what to do but her voice was so soft that I could not really hear what she was saying. The time starts now, I turned the paper over and saw that there was four questions.

1) yi ge ying xiang wo zui shen de ren
2) wo cheng shi qu de
3) wu jia zhang zhang zhang!
4) dui ao yun hui de qi dai

I chose the first one and started writing, I wrote and wrote and at the same time, I left some boxes blank due to not knowing how to write the words. I wrote and wrote. One page of the paper was equals to 1000 words and I wrote 2 and a half page. I did not know I could write this much. The examiner was giving a certificate of participation and a range of highlighters while we were writing. I thought why they were giving certificate of participation when we were writing our composition. I started noticing that some pupils went out after writing finish the composition. Huh! Isn't it funny? How could a person leave the classroom while we were still writing?

After 1 hour and 10 minutes, I finish writing my composition and pass it up to the examiner. She told me to tear the number which was pasted on our table.I tore it, threw into the dustbin and pack my things, leaving the classroom quietly. I took my certificate without putting it into my bag. I was confused how to walk to the canteen as there was no prefects that could help us. We must figure the way out ourselves. A boy who was in the same class as me talk to me and asked me about my name, school and lastly the composition. We went down and I did not know where to go next but luckily, he told me the way to the canteen.

When I reached the canteen, there was a lot of pupils from different schools standing there and I was lost. I walked to the canteen and found that I was the last to arrive and they were all waiting for me. Mr Li called the driver next to arrived at a later time so we could "explore" the school.Mr Li took us to walk around the school and took photos of us wherever we go. The P4 boys was so funny as they requested to take a picture standing in front of the toilet taking the certificate. Mr Li then told me to collect the certificate and put it into his bag.

We went to a place that was located outside the classroom which was mostly about science and tried it out. We tried using the pulleys, wheel and axle, voice travelling and weighing our weights. We played a game which allow us to pass a message using a long "pole" and it was very thick. It was so interesting! Mr Li was taking photos of us once again. The fixed pulley which was holding to a heavy brick was very heavy. The boys thought of an idea to break a rock and it was possible. I wished our school can have a place like that to experience science "objects".

Ming Shun was like ignoring everything and did not even want to try. Suddenly, Ming Shun was talking to someone on a phone and telling him about his Chinese composition. After that, he pass it to me and said that it was Mr Teo. I was shocked. " Zhu yu ting ah, ni xuan shen me ti mu?" I was stunned and forget about it so I went to ask Ming Shun but he forgotten. I toldhim that I forgot and he replied, "Huh, ni wang ji le?" At that time, I remembered and told him what I wrote and said, "hao lah, hao lah, ba shou ji jiao gei Ming Shun." I was laughing to myself as I do not know why I forget about it in a short time. Mr Teo asked Ming Shun the other questions and Ming Shun to ask me. How dumb!Lol...

It was time to go and we went to the car park to find the bus. We went up and sat at different seats again. It was another boring trip but this time the bus driver talked to Mr Li and the whole bus was only filled with their voice. We went back to school and took a photo with our certificate. We went back home after that. The Chinese writing composition journey has already ended. I was extremely tired as I need to reach school before 6.40am. So early!

I wished we could all win for this competition and good luck for those who are participating in the story telling competition!!! This is my last chance to take part in this type of competition already!

What did we talk about today?
Journey of being a writer - Leigh
He is an illustrator and become a writer and at last a producer. An illustrator is his occupation and he had design an interesting character Old Tom. It is not him that is famous but the character. Old Tom is a story that is created by Leigh and he is very creative, has a lot of ideas and think out of box.

Why can he do this?
He has daily life experiences and records it in the journal. He is inspiration. Old Tom has personality too. We should "open our big eyes" and explore the world. This can help us to see different pictures and we can be observant.
