My Shan Yao


Shan Yao is my pillar of strength, my reliable helper and my comfort. Although he often gets the 'middle child' treatment from everyone (even me), he never complains. He is often taken for granted and his achievements are often overshadowed by the problems the rest of his siblings sometimes cause.

For the last 4 months, we have been managing without a domestic help. It is during this time that I truly appreciate Shan Yao. He helps around the house without much complaint. I know he feels frustrated at times when his siblings let him down by not doing enough to help out but he does all the chores anyway because I know he does not want me to be tired. His unconditional love for me acts as a reminder for me to do the same for the rest of the family. He humbles me.

I know now that whenever I feel down and out, I just need to think of Shan Yao and how very blessed I am that God has given him to me.

I want everyone to know how fortunate we are that we have Shan Yao in our lives.....

Absent From School - by Mark


Yeah!!!! I did not need to go to school today. I had a very bad cough and threw up last night. The vomit tasted bad. Mommy gave me Ventolin, Benadryl and a glass of chocolate milk. I felt better after that.

It is fun to be absent from school because I can play in the garden, watch tv and play Duel Masters with my brother Samuel. It is fun to play and watch tv all day. It is fun to be sick.

Hooray! The exams are over!! - by Angela

I'm so glad that the exams are over!! Actually, what Mummy had said before was true! I did much better for this SA2 than the SA1 in the middle of the year! I am extremely glad I listened to Mummy! By the way, because I studied, I was second in class for English and third in class for Science! When I heard the second person in class for Science had only half a mark more than me, I wished I had not made any careless mistakes. =( Well, I bet I can do better next year in Primary 5 and I hope to be in the same class as Chloe, Sheryl and Grace!! There are many more girls whom I want to be in the same class with but it's just too much trouble to type all of their names!! Well, I hope all of you have done well for your exams too!! See ya! =0)
