HOW I SPENT MY NATIONAL DAY HOLIDAYS

I had a very special holiday last week from the 8th  to the 12th of August. It started with going to school in the morning at 7.45am, something which I don't usually do.Then we had a special mini sports event for those of us in Primary 1 and 2.That is how I celebrated the National Day with my friends and teachers.

On the 9th of August, Singapore's 42nd National Day, I went out with my family and my uncle to Takashimaya. We bought alot of food and my younger brother and I bought toys to play with.My  brother bought a toy sports car and a LEGO policeman.I bought the Aqua Beads.After that,we went to my grand parents'  house to watch the parade on TV and eat the food we bought.

On the 10th of August we visited the temple in Waterloo St and had vegetarian food for lunch. The next 2 days were normal weekends, nothing special there, except to finish off all my school work. We all had a good break from work and looked forward to returning to school on the 13th.

My apologies for my absence during the past two days, i.e. 20-21 August 2007. I had bacterial conjunctivitis in my left eye and had to stay away from school as it can be contagious.

 

Here's what conjunctivitis is about ...

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pinkeye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. Conjunctivitis can be caused by infections (such as bacteria and viruses), allergies, or substances that irritate the eyes. One can get pinkeye by touching an infected person or something an infected person has touched, such as a used tissue. It also can be spread through coughing and sneezing. Doctors usually recommend keeping people diagnosed with contagious conjunctivitis out of school or work for a short time.

9th August 2007 was a sunny Thursday. We took an MRT to Marina Bay to view the NDP-live at about 4pm. We didn't have any tickets, so we have to find a good place to view the parade. We tried to squeeze through the crowd to the Merlion Park.

(But make a guess, did we get in? ) No we didn't because it was tooooo crowded. So we headed back towards the Padang.

 

At last, we discovered a big field with a huge screen where we could view the NDP. In the field, there were many people who brought their mat and snacks. Suddenly, we heard a loud noise, it was two helicopters holding an enormous Singapore flag and 5 Airforces, parachutes with red smoke up in the sky.  

 

Everybody cheered; it was as loud as a lion's roar. As the sky grown darker and the programme came to an end, beautiful fireworks sparkled in the dark sky. It was so colourful and it was liked golden guns shooting in the sky. Everyone was screaming with excitement.

 

We enjoyed our evening very much!!!!!!!!!!! And I refused to go home. How I wish I can view the parade live every year.

My Trip To Redang Island By Brenda Yap

During the National Day's long weekend, 8-11 August 2007, my family, grandparents, anuty and family, my 9-years old aunty Lam Lam and I went to Redang Island in Malaysia.  It took us 10 hours to travel from Singapore to the boat terminal to catch a 30-minutes boat ride to the Island.

Wow!  The sea-water is crystal blue and the beach is ivory white. 

 

After we checked in, we went to the beach to play the soft white sand and swim in the clear sea-water. 

On the second and third day, we collected many specials seashells and dried coral.  We also went snorkelling. 

It was my first time and I was so excited to see lots of different types of colourful fish and coral.

I was quite fearful of the big fish because I was afraid that it would bite me.  However, I was not so frightened during my second snorkelling session.

We spent of lot of time playing with the waves and building sand castle. 

We have fun jumping over the wave, even my little brother was having so much fun that he refused to go back to the resort.  We built 3 sandcastles and we managed to link them up togther.

Finally, we have to leave the beautiful island.  I wish I could come again next time and stay a longer period.
