If was looking out at the window where I can see many trees in all kinds. They just stood rooted to the ground, not ever waving their elegant branches. I thought it is a pity for those elegant things to do nothing useful or meaningful. And I began to imagine if I were a tree, what tree would I like to be, and what would I do?
If I were a tree, I would wave my branches back and forth while the wind would sing a song especially composed for me. I would also let the birds have a good time on my perfect branches. They would sing me beautiful songs, full of happiness. I guess I'd like to be an apple tree. Then I'll be able to provide the people not only my cool shade but also sweet fragrant flowers and juicey apples. All the bumblebees and the butterflies would love me. But I would still write my diary . I would ask a clever bird to peck on my trunk and write my diary on it, and live a meaningful life.
After I finished writing, I opened my windows wide and told my idea to the trees. Even though I didn't see it, I'm susre the trees all listened with their whole heart, ready to put my words in action.

Dying Lives
As usual, our family talked at dinner table about what had happened during the day time. The following was my story:
While I was coming back home, I saw a bee dying. It was flapping its wings and making a buzzing sound that I hated. I almost screamed at the desperating sound at the top of my tiny lungs! Well, I think my lungs are tiny. That's all.
Then, a tiny lizard (tinier than my lung, I think so) ran out of a shrub to the bee and gobbled it down. "Wow~, that guy must have been jolly hungry!", I thought. Poor little lives. They got eaten in a blink of an eye. After witnessing that horrible scene, I think life is very disgusting.

The Racist
I read a book about the racists. They think white people are superior to the blakck-skinned. I was surprised that people in the 21st century are still racists. Why, this is the 21st century for goodness sake.
Some black skinned people are just like us. Just note Conzales Laiza( a minister of Defence in U.S. A.) How respectful she is! Indeed no difference between the colors of skin. If you were a black skinned people being treated badly, how would you feel?
Well, maybe in your pre-life you had been a black-skinned person. And pre life of the blackskinned person also might be a white-skinned saying nasty things about black-skinned. How do we know?
So from now on, I'd love to see black and white cooperating with each other.

Children's Day
My sister and I woke up with a wide grin. It was Children's Day. No School!
Our Grand told us we could play for 1 hour in the morning, singing ,dancing, playing computer games, anything we like. We sang a song. It goes,"Ha, ho,ha, ho, what a day! Don't need to make our beds, don't need to put on silly dresses which is very lady like, no pencils, no notebooks, hurray, hurray! Away off those horrid books, so listen what we say. Ho, ho , it's Children's Day."
After we sang, we put on our clothes that we wanted to put on. Grandma made us our special breakfast, mushroom soup with black berry bread.
My tutor bought us seventeen adorable guppies and two miniature tortoise. Imagine that I squealed with happoiness. And that's not all. Grandmother came with a bundle of carnations to give us. After all the fun things Grandma brought us to Pizza hut for dinner. A happy day.

Do Malayan Pets fast?
Some in my class are Malayans. They are fasting nowadays. Some of them have pets. And when their pets come, they will become Malayan cats, dogs or birds(and hamsters). Well, if my friends fast, what about their pets? Do they fast, too?
Some say no, some say yes. I say yes. If I were a Malayan, and my family and I were praying, I would make my pet sit straight-non- making sound and closed its eyes.
Then, if I were a Malayan, I would change my name Nura or Nabila , something like that.

Invited to the Birthday Party.
I began to get ready for S's birthday. I bought gifts and wrapped them in a beautiful wrapping paper. I bought a beautiful memorandum plus a soft room marker. My sister wanted that room marker but I refused to give it to her. Actually I also wanted to keep the sweet room marker.
However my granny said," The thing that you like is just a thing for a gift." That's how come I decided to give S the sweet room marker. My sister willingly agreed and helped me wrap my presents for S. I hope S will get pleased .

Show and Tell
Today was a boring day. I got a stomach ache and worst of all, I was supposed to have my show and tell. I wished my bus would have a driving accident like one of wheel getting stuck or getting caught in a drain. But of course the bus was coming fine and merrily as usual.
I felt horrible when teacher called my name to do my show and tell. I started in a loud and clear voice. I began to enjoy myself and did my show and tell happily and contentedly. Bet I get good marks.

Sad Departure
Ma left today. It was a tearful good bye. Before Ma left, I smiled and promised I would be good. But when the taxi drove away, tears like rooster's dung began to fall. My granny comforted me by telling me that she will come back at Christmas.
I couldn't sleep. So I woke up and wrote my journal. My grandma told me stories and that put me to sleep. I dreamed of Ms's coming back.
Ma, I miss you!

In Genting
We' are at last at Genting , Malay. Our hotel had a lot of things to do! I rode bang bang car 8 times. Ma ma says I am good at driving. I did so well in driving bong bong, some of the people clapped at me. I also went to the haunted house, and came out crying. It was so scary.
I also tried on a roller coaster. Phew! What a thrill!
After all that adventure I was tired and fell asleep.

In Kualalumpur
We went to the swimming pool in the hotel this morning. The pool was full of freezing ice water. Burr...... It was so cold that it was hard to breathe.
After swimming we went to the palace . We couldn't enter the palace so we just took some pictures with a man who guarded the palace. The guardian seemed to hate people taking picture of him.
We were hot, hot, hot with a capital letter 'H'. So we went into a airconditioned museum. Than I sat on the stairs to take a short rest before seeing the exhibition. I admired Muslim's exquisite art .

Ma's Coming!
From all the day to today, I've missed Ma. Today my ma is coming. I waited impatiently walking around as I couldn't sit still like a monkey. I went out to the lobby to meet her. Some cars swashed by. I looked every faces in the car in just two second for Ma. Then one yellow taxi stopped suddenly before me. A lady with a brown necklace and a brown shirt got down. I saw it. "It", the "it" was right beside me and it was my Ma!

In Church
I went to church. The pastor poured water into three cups and explained something. It was very boring. Not only his preaching was boring but also the pastor himself looks bored, too. I think the pastor will give up the job and say," This job is boring. I'd like to be a police. It would be exciting."
I was so soaked in my imagination that I forgot to pray and just sat down helplessly. I said to myself, " If I were a pastor, I would tell jokes and funny tales about Jesus." But that's all a dream.

Repelling The Stress
How do you repell your stress ? You don't know? You just keep it in your head cage until it bursts? If you have no ideas, I'll give you one.
If you are cold or not, just take a hot bath humming your favourite song. After that, take out your white sketchbook and some color pencils and draw whatever you like. Then, close your eyes and go around the house and open them. You feel your stress has gotten away! How do you feel?

Reflection Of The Experience of Recording
This morning felt like an ordinary dull day. But it was not as I had to go to school even though it was Saturday. As I was very excited, I could barely eat my breakfast. My heart was full of excitement, wonde and scare. I was scared I would miss the bus or go to the wrong place. But when I saw my friends I forgot all my worries.
It was a little strange to take a journey with still unfamiliar faces. But I think I enjoyed it.
The studio looked like an ordinary house but a little bigger( A house with no bed~). Then we squeezed into a little hot room. We sang to record our songs.
But I was not satisfied with my voice. Soon I got my voice and sang as beautiful as I can. We were not as good as larks but still good. Recording our songs in the studio was a special experience.

I Granted Mother's Wish
Time to study as usual, but more. I need to study English grammar with Grandma. And picky math, bumpy science will drive me mad. And close! O, forget about it!

Mother once said," A girl of mine will finish a math exercise book in a week!" I granted her wish, and fell into bed with exhaustion!

Bicycle Riding
Today I went ona ride on my tutor's bicycle. I couldn't stop saying,"Faster, faster." I guess that was the only thing I said during two hours' riding. While riding, the beautiful falling leaves were more than a hindrance.
Maybe I would like to ride like a hurricane. But if I rode too fast , I might ruin the bicycle, so I'd better be a fast wind. Some leaves followed me and disturbed me, I hated it. The soft wind made my imagination fly away, and I was peaceful at last. So smoothing. Smiling, I said,"Wee~!"

A New Baby
A cute and joyful news is floated by our neighbours. One of our neighbour said her daughter- in- law got a new baby girl! We rushed to see that new princess. I washed my hands with soap that has elegant smell of the rose before touching the baby.
The little baby looked like the sun as the family could not live without her. She smiled but soon dozed up to un-snoring-sleep. I touched the baby's feet. They wriggled, so lovely. From head to bottom the baby is so cute that I felt like shaking or tapping the baby.
