Happy New Year Visitors

Happy New Year everyone!

Bailey and His Helicopter

On Christmas day, we went to Gong gong's home. We had a Christmas dinner at his home. This year he gave us a remote control helicopter for Christmas!

I was so excited that I pulled the plastic-bag off the box straight away. It was not wrapped up. Inside the box there were two helicopters. One helicopter was for me and the other was for Bailey.

When I reached home, I was too excited, but I was also too tired to look at my helicopter. I went to sleep immediately after I did all my night routines. In the middle of the night I couldn't sleep because, I was very excited. In the morning I finished my chores very fast so that I could charge the helicopter but we had to pack to go out.

On Saturday afternoon, Mummy allowed me to take out the helicopter. She read some of the instructions. When we finished charging and getting all the things ready we went downstairs to play. When we were downstairs at the big field below my block. I switched my helicopter on and started to play.

After less then 5 minutes Bailey's helicopter got stuck in a tree!

We tried to get it down but the tree was too tall for even mummy to reach. Mummy went to the second level and looked down at the trees, but she couldn't see anything. We went up to try to find a long stick. Mummy went to the balcony and found a bamboo pole which was used for hanging laundry. She also looked for a binoculars and looked down at the trees from our balcony.

We went down to look some more but we still couldn't find it. And now we gave up because we couldn't think of a way to get the helicopter down and also because it was time for dinner and we were very hungry. We spent one hour or more looking for the helicopter. That's why I call this post "Bailey and His Helicopter".

When I was sleeping, Mummy and Daddy went down to look for the helicopter using a torch. Daddy was looking at the bushes and around the trees and Mummy was feeling around on the ground. Suddenly Mummy saw a little sparkling thing and picked it up and found that it was the helicopter that Bailey lost!

The next day Bailey was surprised to find his helicopter back in its box.

After breakfast we played almost the whole day. Here is a picture of me flying my helicopter.


I control the helicopter to go upwards by pushing the throttle up and move side ways by moving the joystick that controls the direction.

Here is a video of me flying my helicopter that my mother helped me upload.

Thank you Gong gong. I like the helicopter present a lot. I like the way it moves. It can move like a real helicopter but not so fast.

My Aquarium Full of Fishes

Last Friday, my brother, mother and I went to the fish shop to get some fishes.

We walked around the shop which was at Clementi. My mother saw a pail of water that had fishes in it. She saw Guppies in it. I liked the Guppies because it gives birth very often and it looks very beautiful.

We bought 4 Neon Tetras, 2 Black Tetras, 5 Male Guppies, 3 Female Guppies, 2 Black Mollies, 2 other fishes (that we didn't know the names and that we accidentally caught) and 4 more that were caught by mistake (they looked like ikan billis). So we have 22 fishes altogether.


A few days later, one Neon Tetra died. We thought it was because there was still too much chlorine in the water. Today when we were taking photographs to put in this post, we noticed that a female Guppy died. We were so sad. Now we are left with 19 fishes.

I'm hoping that the female Guppy that was pregnant would give birth so we will have more fishes.

At the Park

My day at the park,
Climbing trees and peeling bark.
Playing golf,
With sticks and balls.

Bowling using sticks as pins,
Doing our best to see who wins.
Soccer was played by kicking balls,
Between goal-posts of trees so tall.

Running about,
Shouting so loud.
Stopping the games,
Only because it rained.

The Gnu

One day, when I was at the zoo, I drew a gnu. Here is a picture of it.


The gnu that I drew was the fattest of all the gnus in the enclosure. It was very difficult to draw the gnu because it kept moving and turning around from side to side. It was also very difficult because it was all black so it was hard to see. But I did it in the end. I used my mummy's watercolour paint to paint it. I succeeded the first time!

Feeding Goats at the Zoo

Last Friday, I was at the Zoo. I went to Kidzworld then we went to see the animals. On the way out it happened to be goat feeding time. The zookeeper tied some Jackfruit leaves and branches on a stick beside the goat pen. The zookeeper said that these goats only eat Jackfruits leaves and branches.


At first I only fed the goat leaves, but later I noticed other people feeding the big branches, too. I tried to feed some branches. The goat stuck it's big pink tongue out and slurpped. When it could reach the branch, it bit the branch, but it didn't chew. It pulled the branch into the fence before it chewed and ate up the branch. Then it dropped the branch just in time to butt it's horns in the neck of another goat who was trying to snatch the branch from it. It didn't take the branch back to eat but instead, it went on a rock and didn't eat anymore!

At the end when the zookeeper came to take the branches away, one goat wanted some more, but it bleated something like "EEEnOUgh! EEEnOUgh!"

To that the zookeeper shook his head and replied, "Ya. Ya. Enough!"
