Dear Funky girl,My present CCA is badminton. Quite satisfied with it. At least I can lose some weight with the exercise. I am way too fat… (0_0) I wanted to join the band because Swiss winds plays very well, can get a lot of CCA points. Secondly, I want to learn a new instrument. Almost all my friends knows how to play at least 1 instrument. All except me. I was supposed to play the French horn. Later, I got recruited into badminton so all my friends encouraged me to go for it. No regrets! I could use some workout to get rid of the extra fats. Ha-ha… I wanted to join girl guides too but my sister says got a lot of meetings-take too much of my time. Badminton, its quite fun because I am more to the sporty side. So far, we only had 2 trainings. So pathetic. Why can’t Swiss cottage have a table tennis club? It’s so cool, and it rules my world. So, people who are reading my lame entry, come join the badminton club if you are in Swiss cottage!!!FuNkY QiUmEi

Dear funky girl,
Chinese New Year Eve
After the Chinese New Year celebration performance in Swiss Cottage, I rushed to my primary school to meet up with my old friends. The gate was closed so we waited outside with everyone. Almost every ex-student was there. When we were allowed to go in, we shouted, screamed and cheered. After visiting all my teachers, I went out to eat with my friends and my Chinese teacher. We had a nice time chatting with her. I then rushed home for the reunion dinner I’ve been waiting for. We started by pouring the ingredients for the ‘’ low hei ‘’. My father made me recite all those auspicious words while pouring the yucky ingredients. Okay, I know I’m being rude funky girl. But I really hate ‘’low hei ‘’ it has a weird taste. I mean full of vegetables and more vegetables. Which teen loves eating ‘’low hei’’? None! If there is such a person, he must be a alien. Later, we ate steamboat. Wow, I love steamboat. The juicy prawns, the spongy fish balls, the tasty mushrooms, the tender fish, the slippery ‘’tang hoon’’. Hmm… tasty… Too bad you couldn’t come to taste the delicious food funky girl.
Day 1
The first day of Chinese New Year started off well by waking up at 8.00a.m.followed by having a nice, cool bath with refreshing flowers. I then went to eat ‘’ nian gao ‘’ with my family members. Oh my, I hate that gluey sticky ‘’nian gao’’ yuck! I wonder how people can actually enjoy it! Well, we then proceeded to my grandmother’s house to visit her and place the things we brought for her. I then saw all my uncles and aunties coming with all my cousins. Wow, I got so excited when I saw my relatives, not because I miss them, It’s all because of the red packets they will give me! Ha-ha… … Later, I went to visit my relatives on my mother’s side. Wow, they almost have all the New Year goodies you can imagine! Pineapple tarts, love letters, peanut cookies, coconut cookies… Hmm… they are heavenly! I could almost taste them in my mouth! The crunchiness of the love letters, the heavenly smell of the home-made pineapple tarts my uncle makes, the unique taste of the peanut cookies, the coconut cookies has a taste no one can describe! Next on, we went back to my grandmother’s house for a late lunch. We had a table spread of food waiting for us. After eating the delicious food, we settled down and gambled. We played lots of gambling games like blackjack, ‘’ mahjong ‘’, Big 2, poker and many more. A good news funky girl, I won $6. I know it’s not a lot, but its better than losing. My poor cousin brought $40 along and left with nothing in his wallet but flies. Poor Hanwei… Lost all his money to my sister. Oh yeah, remind me to ask my sister to give me a treat. Later, my family and I went back home at around 11p.m. Wow! Were we tired or what? I lay on my bed and my eyes were closing. Can’t wait for tomorrow… …
Day2
The second day was not as nice. But it was alright, I went to visit my father’s friends and my sister’s godparents. My sister’s god brother is so cute… I can’t resist myself from pinching his chubby fat cheeks. Later we went to visit my father’s friend. It was so boring over there. The only thing I did was watch television. That’s not all; it was a boring program on television. My sister went to visit her boyfriend’s relatives so no one was there. But later on, I met a friend the same age as me . He is from Hillgrove secondary. He’s quite nice and friendly to me. Nice meeting a friend like him.
Day 4
I had a Chinese New Year party at my house. My parents invited all their friends and we were also granted the permission to invite our friends. I had such a nice time. My nieces came too. They were so cute. Twins. Adorable. Lucky they didn’t call me auntie, I’m only 12!!! They will make me sound like a old hag if they did so.
Funky girl, wish you all the best in this coming year. FuNkY QiUmEi
