  I love Lego. I love to make things with it. I have Police Lego, Hospital Lego, Harry Potter Diagon Alley Lego, Star Wars X-Wing Lego, 2 in 1 Helicopter and Airplane Set Lego Technic, Crane Lego Technic, Star Wars Hoth Battle Lego, A Box of Plain Lego (to make your own city), 3 in 1 Lego House Set, 1 plain Lego plate, Airplane Lego, Warship Lego and a 3 floor sea-house. That is THIRTEEN LEGO SETS. We play it almost everyday. My brother also loves to play with it. My dad loves to play with it too. The most exciting part of Lego is when you build and put all the Lego pieces together. Here is a funny Lego Star Wars Video Clip.

Star Wars X-Wing

    This is my first Star Wars post, and it is about my brother's (Brandon) X-Wing. He got it for his birthday. The minifigures in the X-Wing box are Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Princess Leia, Wedge Antilles, Chewbacca and Han Solo. My brother put all of the Lego pieces altogether all by himself. He just turned six that time, but he can make it all by himself. Actually, that Lego is for 8 years old to 12 years old. There are four hundred, thirty-seven pieces in all. The X-Wing Starfighter just looks like the real Starfighter in the Star Wars Movie. Here is the video of the X-Wing Starfighter Lego Review.

The Talent Show Last Year

 
  Last year in grade three I used to join a talent show. I played piano, sung a song called "FireFlies" and danced a ballet that I learned in CalaDance in Emporium. I practiced playing the song on the piano in KPN (where my piano class is) many times. I almost went there everyday afterschool practicing that song for the talent show! I also practiced singing "FireFlies" on the microphone in KPN too. Sometimes I practice it at home. I always practiced the ballet dance after ballet class in CalaDance with my teacher. The talent show is a competition. On the day of the talent show, I felt nervous and I felt like that I would'nt win. I tried my best on the talent show and because of the hardworking and trying as hard as I could, at the end the judges announced that I won! There are 5 people who will be the winner, but I came in 1st place! I was so happy and my mother and father was very proud of me. Here is a video of the FireFlies Official Music Video and one with the lyrics.

Hoedown Throwdown, By: Miley Cyrus

 
 
  Hi! This song is about  Hoedown Throwdown. We learned this song in Performing Arts class and the dance steps. It is by Miley Cyrus. Ms. Pae taught us how to do the dance steps. Some parts are easy to do, some parts are hard, but most of them are fun! Especially all the girls like it, but even boys sing the song everywhere they go. Sometimes they even sing and dance at the same time. It only took us two weeks to learn it all. Here is the video of the dance steps and the whole dance. The beginning of the dance and the song together starts like this: Pop it lock it polka dot it, country-fy it hip-hop it...

Khanom Bua Loy Benjarong: 
Instructions How To Make It

  Before on the other post I told you the what the sweet, to make the colour and the ingredients right? If you didn't click on the website at the bottom of the post. Here are the instructions on how to make the Thai "Khanom Bua Loy Benjarong" sweet.

  Directions:

1.  For each colour's set of ingredients, knead the ingredients together until a dough is formed. If the dough does not form in a long time, sprinkle with warm water as needed. If the dough is sticking to your hands, sprinkle with sticky rice flour as needed. Cover the dough with damp cloth.

2.  Pinch off the dough and roll into a small ball on your palm. The ball should be around 0.5 centimeters (1/4") in diameter. Cover the ball with damp cloth.

3.  Boil a pot of water. Drop all the balls into the boiling water in the pot. The cooked balls will rise to the surface of the water. Remove the floating balls and put them in a bowl of cold water to shock them so that they stop cooking. Drain and set aside.

4.  In a seperate pot, add one cup of water-like coconut milk, padanus leaves and sugar. Bring to the boil.

5.  Add cooked sticky rice balls in the pot. Bring to boil.

6.  Add 1 cup of coconut milk cream and salt. Stir and remove from heat.

7.  Serve warm.

Directions For "Pandanus Water":

1.  Cut 2 pandanus leaves into small pieces, about 1"x 1".

2.  In the blender, add pandanus leaves and 1 cup of water. Discard the pandanus pulp. Keep the pandanus water. Freeze the leftovers for future use.

My Grade 3 After-school

  Hi, you know I learned after-school with my homeroom teacher in grade 3 who is Ms. Anna that comes from the U.K. Malika, Harshitha, Ananta, Seo Yun, and many of the grade 4 students this year joined it. The after-school is about Glee for students that are in Wells Thonglor Campus. Ms. Anna is a great singer and a great guitarist. She taught us many songs. Sometimes at the end Ms. Rhiannon(the 3B class teacher)goes too the room and watches us sing. Sometimes after that we play Bang. It's so fun. There should be at least 2 people and up. We have to put our hands on the sides of your body and when Ms. Anna says someone's name, that person has to duck down. The person beside that person who duck down has to turn to each other and say bang. The slower one will be out. When there are 2 people left, they have to stand back to back. When Ms. Anna says, "1,2,3 go!", they have to turn around and say BANG! The slower person will be OUT! ;) :D
This is the list of songs she taught us.
  • The Climb by Miley Cyrus
  • Don't Stop Believing
  • True Colours
  • Defying Gravity

  There are still more but I like these songs the best. Here are the videos of all the songs.

                                                               The Climb
Don't Stop Believing

True Colours
Defying Gravity
I was one of the solos in The Climb on the Spring Concert last year we had it in Wells Onnut Campus.
