KRISSY

"Good girl Trixie!" That is the praise my dog, Trixie likes. She is a female, 4 months old and a schnauzer. She likes to muzzle my nose and in return, I do that to her too. This cheeky dog is very adorable and obedient. She only barks when threatened or frightened, but it happens only once in a blue moon. Trixie likes to run with me and explore. With her little wet nose always sniffing and muzzling and her big sparkling eyes that glimmer with curiosity, Trixie is sure to make you cry out loud, "Oh my gosh! That is the cutest thing alive on earth!" and swoon. As a matter of fact, dogs have an acute sense of smell that is much more sensitive than that of a human's, and that could be a logical explanation as to why dogs are always sniffing around even a seemingly clean floor. Being a Pedigree dog meaning pure bred, Trixie's appetite is always excellent. Her favourite foods are pears, apples, bananas and not to mention carrots. Even at a distance of 1 metre, Trixie can detect those morsels and wallop them in one go. Of course, Trixie is toilet-trained. This active little puppy is getting her third and last immunization jab tomorrow.
Well, for all puppy haters, do you still have any conflicts on innocent puppies?

My Special Moment

It was on the twentieth of March, in the afternoon. My table tennis team was going to play in the East Zone Table Tennis Competition. We were all quivering with excitement. At 12.20 sharp, I went to change into my competition clothes. The next moment, I went to eat my lunch in the canteen. All my friends were already there. We then met our coach and went to train with her. I was in the doubles with my friend, Claudia.
At exactly 1pm, the judges and the other school players arrived. The competition was starting. Our team first played with the school Qiaonan. The first player up was the first single, Celeste. She fought with all her might and eventually won the game for us. 'Uh oh!' I thought as I was going up next. Well, as usual, we won and so did the rest. We won them 5-0. My coach was elated.
"Please take your seats. The next competition will be starting at about 2.45." Our coach told us that we will be playing against PeiQin Primary school. They were quite easy to beat, based on our standard, and we won them 5-0 again. That was all for that day.

My Holidays

The Term 1 holidays started last Monday.I had to stay in school from 8am in the morning to 5pm in the afternoon for Scrabble, Debate and table tennis on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, I had table tennis(as usual) and Odyssey of the Mind from 10am to 5pm. I will always be dog-tired at the end of the day as I am always rushing to be on time. A table tennis competition is comimg up next week so I am training super hard just to be in tip top condition and ready on that day. For the Scrabble course, it was really terrific. I realised that if your English is really superb, you can really trash those players till pulp. I managed to do that, but not always. Argumentation, the show 'The Arena', it all has something in common- it all leads to debating. If you know your facts well and know how to use them, you should be extremely good in debating. Odyssey of the Mind is a competition in which you choose a topic and have to act it out, but has to find the facts first.
How I wish that there would be a decent holiday just for me- no activities or courses. THE END

My Sullen Day

I woke up one morning to find that I was sick with flu. I could feel my nose clogged up with mucus and couldn't breathe at all. I started coughing a million times, which woke my startled parents. My mummy immediately took my temperature, which measured a gruelling 39.0. So, the next thing I knew was that I was changing my clothes and heading to the clinic. The doctor said that I had a mild FLU! I was so shocked. He prescribed me with many bottles of medicine for my cough, fever and running nose. How pathetic, I thought. Well, as you know, when parents are anxious or worried about your health, they will start choking you with the most horrid tasting medicine down your throat, which was what they immediately did when I reached home. A moment later, I was in bed again cuddled with Pokemon soft toys just to make my bed warm and comfy. I just hope that I can get rid of this contagious and darn virus out of my body and become a healthy and fit girl again.:( THE END 7/3/07

My Two Best Friends

My best friend is my dog Trixie, a schnauzer. I just received it last Friday. Coated with glossy black fur and a nose that always twitches, it is the cutest a dog can get. Trixie is very tame. She hardly barks nor whimper, which is perfectly normal because they are brought into a new enviroment circle and is seperated from its family. The three week old female puppy will always sit by the front gate, waiting for me to return back from school. With her bounty tail always wagging, I can guarantee you will never fail to be happy and enlightened everyday. One of her favourite hobbies are sitting on the couch watching football with me. She is definitely crazy on Arsenal and Man Utd, which is also one of my favourites. So, as a present, I am trying to get her a shirt with the initials imprinted on it. Zoey's favourite food are apples, pears and bananas, but dog biscuits suit her well too. I have vowed never to neglect her and love her with all my heart, which I will always do.
