A Journey Into The Animal Kingdom @ Singapore Zoo

Hello everyone, my family and I just went to the zoo yesterday and I’m going to blog about it. My sister was thinking of a place for a family outing, she asked the rest of the family where we wanted to go for an outing, the rest of us had no idea where we wanted to go so, in the end we decided to go to the zoo. My sister tasked me with finding all of the needed info I had to find out ticket prices and all that kind of stuff. Everything was set for the outing. I asked my sister for the timing to wake up and she said 8am but, I though she said 7:30am so, I set my clock 1 hour back to wake me up at 6am. The next morning my alarm sounded and I was trying to wake my mum and younger brother up, then I saw my sister’s message, I was like “ Oh dear I woke them up at the wrong time!” After I said sorry to both my brother and mum I went to get onto my wheelchair to get ready. At 8:05 my grandaunt came to pick us up to send us to the zoo.

Once we arrived we had a light snack before heading into the zoo. My sister went to get the tickets; the ticket price was $110 when I searched for it online but thanks to my mum’s NTUC membership card we were able to get a discount. At 9:00 am I was the first one to go into the zoo my sister told me that I only had 10 seconds to get pass the barrier, I managed to wheel myself pass the barrier. The first animal that we came across was the Crocodiles. There was one crocodile that was completely still, my brother and I wondered weather was it a real or a fake crocodile, to find out we looked at it closely then we saw it snapped it’s jaws than we were like “ Ok it’s real!!”

The next animal we went to look at were the White Tigers, I told my grandaunt “ I’m going to look at my brother right now.” The reason I made that joke was because my brother was born in the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac. When we got to the white tiger’s area, one was sleeping and the other one was walking around, my brother said, “This is like me every morning.”  After we left the tiger area we went to the Ah Meng restaurant to have our meal, I had my all- time favourite dish chicken rice.

After a nice meal we went to the insects dome to see the butterflies, one of them actually landed on my brother’s shoulders my brother was screaming and holding onto my grandaunt’s legs ha ha. At this point my forearms wanted to die after all of the wheeling and pushing. None of us wanted to see the snakes, my sister wanted to  see the snakes then my sister went to see the snakes by herself while my grandaunt and I waited at the loin’s area. Now I was so tried that I started yawning, the sleeping lion woke up to roar at me. Our last animal encounter for the day was the polar bear. It was freezing cold in there.

After a long day at the zoo we went to Swensen’s for dinner, when it was time for me to have my hot fudge subdue my dad handed me a really long spoon. I kept dropping it. It  was a really fun day See You Soon.                                                                            

The Steps To My Bigger & Brighter Future

In my last post I talked about my plans for a bigger and brighter future, this is the follow up on that post. Ok this post is going to be about things I have to do to pave my way to that bigger and brighter future that I envisioned for myself.

Step 1 Improve Social Skills

The first thing I think I need to improve on would be my social skills. I really need to boost my self-esteem and self-confidence, both of which I extremely lack. But I just can’t seem to find that boost that I really need. On the other hand I have to stop being self – centred, but sometimes I can’t help it I just have to talk about myself till people get bored of me and start avoiding me. My family has shared with me this saying” “The world is not only about yourself.” Till this day I’m still trying to find the meaning behind that saying. My social skills extremely lack around the people  my age because, I don’t really like the topics that they talk about like games and all that kind of stuff, I wish that one day I can find friends that enjoy blogging and music as much as I do, so that we give blogging ideas to one another or when we need some advice on how to improve on our blogs we can just ask each other, but not many people update their blogs nowadays. :(

Step 2 Build Upper Body Strength

The next thing I think that I must improve on for a better future would be to build my upper body strength, so that it will be easier for me to wheel myself on my wheelchair to anywhere I want to go. But the thing is I’m sacred of the dangerous things that might happen to me when I’m outside such as falling, being stared at and injuring myself. The other thing is that I always forget to do my push-ups; I need to stop being lazy and start living an active life if I want to have a brighter future.

Step 3 Learn How To Ride The Train

Once I build enough upper body strength, I would then wheel myself to the train station to learn how to ride the train. From there I can live my dream of going out on my own. I can go for a nice dinner with my extended family without my mum & dad. Or go shopping with my aunts.

Step 4 Go For Some Training

Once I know how to ride the train I would to go to one training center in Singapore to get some training to pick up some skills, which can be useful to me in a workplace environment. The skills that I would like to pick up would be talking to people to sell things or Photoshop. Then after I finish the training I can look for a job to support my family and myself. It’s like a staircase that I have to walk up. At the end of the staircase is a door the door that leads me to my goals. I want to open up that door that I see at the end of the staircase and stay there. Thanks For ReadingJ

Our Very First Class Play

Hello everyone, If you read my blog most of the time you would know that one of my dreams is to be an actor, well that dream sort of came true for me today My class was in the production of a play about recycling as a part of my of school’s Clean And Green Week and when my teacher announced that I was going to be a teacher I was like “OMG I get to be a teacher Yes!” During the first few practice sessions the class kept messing up but there were some really funny moments during those sessions, I kept on saying the wrong things at the wrong time!! My friends kept messing up as well but with some help from my teacher, we somehow managed to pull though. One of the hardest parts of the play was the dance we had to do at the end of the play we had to do it 3 times during rehearsal. The moment I returned home I felt a little nervous and my mum said, “ You’ve been on that stage so many times you will be fine.” With that really good piece of advice I went to bed to get a good night’s sleep to prepare myself for today’s play.

Woke up this morning got dressed in my in my suit and guitar tie, I felt like I was Justin Timberlake .HA HA. Once I arrived at I forgot that I supposed to be a wheelchair, so my teacher went to get one for me. My legs were shaking when I got on stage, but I still did it! After the play my class and I got many compliments from teachers and friends. I must say, it was an awesome class play I'm proud to be apart of it See You So
