My 2nd post for the CA1 assignment : Many Things...

Should we work for IP or not? My parents encourage me to go for it, yet every teacher in school that speaks about it tells us that IP is not as good as we make it out to be. Yet, everyone wants to skip exams, and now that we have the chance, why not? My parents promised a reward in the form of games, but I doubt after (if) i get to IP, my chances of playing these games will be shortened. Oh well, I think I will do my best and see what happens...

Oh, and the shifting of houses is still far from complete. We still have plenty to do but we face a big problem: all the parking lots there are red. To be able to park in those red lots, we would need a season parking ticket. To have the season parking ticket, we have to officially shift into that house. Yet, to be able to move all our furniture there, we do need the parking. And the cycle repeats. Well I hope this problem will be solved soon. Currently, we are hoping that the parking attendant will give us a grace period to move our home appliances into the house and then after we can purchase the parking tickets.

Okay, so now I have officially moved in. The parking problem solved. There have not been any interesting things happening in the past few days except yesterday, which was Charisse's birthday. Unfortunately, I had to make a trip to my friend Shi Xian's house to complete a literature project about making a multimedia poem. My family decided that we postpone the birthday celebrations today, since my sister only ended her school in the evening and that we had a church meeting later that night. However, there was still a small celebration for my sister during the church meeting. Among the small spread of food that evening, there was sushi, mango ice cream and a traditional Chinese dessert, 'Tao suan' which was prepared personally by one of my mother's friends at the church meeting, and not forgetting the cake that was earlier bought by my parents for my sister yesterday.

Later we will be having a 'formal' celebration of my sister's birthday, although without the usual formality of blowing out the candles and cutting the birthday cake, as that has already been done yesterday.

My next post will be about the celebrations later. Look out for it!
