Room 227’s Blog

Hi Everyone,

It’s nice to read all of your comments.  I’m sorry I haven’t checked out all of your blogs yet.  I will try to comment as much as I can!  Time is hard to find these days.  I’m sure you’d agree!

I’m glad that you are enjoying middle school!  Using calculators in math, having your own blogs, lockers…what fun!  I’ve heard nothing but positive comments from your teachers about you!  Way to go!

Thanks Tim and Matt for offering to come in near the end of the year as guest speakers.  I welcome any of you to come in! We’ll talk more about this closer to May.

I’m off to Bhutan for Monday.  I’m currently taking a break from packing.  Ugh. It’s a chore.  And I”ll probably forget something, too!  I guess that’s what lists are for. Where are you off to?

Have a great rest of your October.  Make sure one of your teachers turns off the lights closer to Halloween and tells ghost stories as well as reads a few ‘Scary Poems for Rotten Kids’.  That’s the best way to spend a Friday afternoon.

Love, Miss B.

On my Songkran break, I stayed in Bangkok because the red shirts had closed the airport first and I didn’t go to Udorn Thani because if I went, they could have closed the airport and I wouldn’t be able to come back to Bangkok. I really wanted to go and visit my cousin but I couldn’t! So instead my friends and I used a hose a buckets of water to soak motorcycles and gave cars carwashes because some cars had powder all over them. It was extremely fun because people in pickup trucks had buckets with freezing cold water and water guns. Sometimes motorcycle drivers would get us back for fun with water guns whenever we got them. My friends and I even got the guards of my building SOAKING wet!! We even bought ice so when we had people on bikes, motorcycles, or just people walking, they would get freezing cold! We did that for 3 days because that’s how long Songkran is. The day after Songkran was over; I missed doing it because it was so fun. I accidently motioned throwing water but I didn’t have water so it was funny. I ended my Songkran by getting everyone wet again then I went home. That night was also fun because I had a sleepover at one of my friend’s house! The next day, I played with my other friends… SNAKE! She has a pet snake and his name is Billy Bob. He’s a baby corn snake. He is very fun to hold. Unfortunately I got sick and I’m still sick! Over the last weekend, my temperature was 100.6 F! But I’m still but I’m getting better! :]

This Songkran, I went to the Japan with my family for 1 week. The best beautiful thing was cherry blossom (SAKURA). The streets were covered with a cherry blossom. For me, it’s scemes like snow. One by one, it falls and also the day past. I played entire week with my cousins. We watched the cherry blossom together. I spent a lot of time with my cousins, I think they enjoyed too. I wish that I can see thet cerry blossomes again. But now, there is less cherry blossoms because of the globol worming. So in Tokyo, there is a project that we plant the cherry blossoms. And they’ll take a lot of time to grow so it’s hard for us to plant the cherry blossomsbecause of the weather.

For my Songkran holidays, I traveled to Malaysia to visit my family in Kuala Lumpur and Kuching. It was a lot of fun because I got to see my relatives. In Kuching, I mainly went back to celebrate my grandpa’s 76th birthday. To celebrate, we went to a chinese restraunt to eat and have dinner. Cousins, aunts, and uncles along with other relatives came too.  My mother stayed in Kuala Lumpur so  I stayed with my brother and my dad. When it was time to leave Kuching, my dad headed back to Bangkok for work and my brother and I went to KL to see my relatives there. We stayed at home a lot watching TV along with some shopping and we stayed over at my aunt’s house.

Finally, it was time to head home back to bangkok after a long relaxing holiday.

Boy it is glad to be back!

In my holiday Songkran I went to HuaHin.  Me and my family went to HuaHin to play golf. The first golf course was called BLACK MOUNTAIN COUNTRY CLUB AND HOTEL. It was where the golf championship was played and it was really hard. It was inside the mountain and the sight from there was also good. While we were playing golf, the sound of thunder was near. My mom wanted to stop but me and my dad played normally so my mom just followed us. At the end we compared our scores and I got the best score out of us three. So I ‘m allowed to have anything. In the hotel we had a good luck because we got our room up graded. At morning I realized that somebody from fifth grade was in same hotel. We stayed in that hotel for only night and morning.

On Saturday my mom came back from Japan. My mom went to Japan because my sister was going to Japanese high school in Japan Kanagawa. While my mom was staying in Japan, me and my dad was alone in our apatment. I was kind of sad when my sister went away. But until my mom came back we played golf, bowling and other staff that is fun.

It is kind of boring when it is Songkran because nothing is happening. Like soccer team, small japanese school and stuff like that.  But I had fun.

On this spring holiday I went to Hua Hin. We got to ride on a pony for my sisters birthday which my sister was really exited about. The pony that I rode on was named pancake which did really fit for her because the shade of her skin was like pancake. Also we met some other people there from ISB.

My family went to a sea food restraunt which I like. And my sister and brother didn’t eat a ting because they thought the food looked weird or smelled weird. My favorite dish there was the crab meat curry which I always order when I go there.

My sisters birthday went pretty fancy because we put too many decorations on. The really good part was that we got to have 2 birthday cakes because we ordered one and got one for free from the hotel. I hope my sister enjoyed it and my present too because I made a bunny doll for her.

I think it was the best Songkran ever.

For the Songkran holiday I went to Spain. The weather was cold, way different than Thailand. I went to visit my aunt and her husband and my 1year old cousin. We went to many places but one of my favorites places was the zoo.  We saw alot of animals. We saw owls, peakocks,koalas, panthers, but my favorite was seeing the grizzly bears and the wolves. The bear were amazingly huge and just by looking at them you could tell why bears are so dangerous but to me they are really beautiful creatures. The wolves were white and they had strong muscles and they look a little bigger than a normal dog. While we were coming out of the zoo we stopped by to see the wolves again and they were howling! It almost heard like they were singing. A wolf howled and then a different wolf howled back it was a beautiful sound.  It was a great vacation  in Spain because I discovered new places.

On my holiday I went to Langkewi, Malaysia. Langkewi is a small island off of Malaysia near southern Thailand. It was BEAUTIFUL too!!!!!

My favourite part was when I whet on a mangrove tour and i got to see all the wild life some of the things i saw where eagles, kites, woodpeckers, snakes, crabs, wild dogs, fish, etc….. I also liked batik painting ,that’s when you pant water colour pants in between wax’s that was draw on a canvas.

I love langkewi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the food slithers down my throat the sudden taste bursed in my mouth I lunge for my drink and splash it on my tounge. I walk down the stairs to the rusty van to see the water puppets the water puppets were amazing the water puppets dance and swim in water and the people controling the puppets were in the water wet and I am back from it back in bangkok

What I did on my Songkran holiday was shop… shop… And Shop for lots of things like books, cloths, etc. my family and I went to the new Central. We went swimming at a big pool near the lake of Nichada. We went to Siam Paragon and saw the Aquarium where we saw a few shows, lots of cool fish like the Vampire fish, moray eels, sharks, clown fish, and many other things you would be amazed or even scared by. We barbequed with Zach Baker and his family. We went to the movies and saw Race to Witch Mountain and watched Monsters vs. Aliens with the Bakers. I even got my hair cut.
