Lost Maple Trip: Swiftly Floating Across Inks Lake

When my dad and I first drove into Inks Lake, the first impression was that the park design was horrible. This was upon receiving the map. When we drove off to the camping site, my dad found my directions weird and funny (left, left, left, left, right, left, left, left) but they were all correct. When we settled down, marked up the camping site, we drove off for our first viewpoint: Devil’s Waterhole.

The Anchor of the Chinese Boat

My mom is a small anchor. She’s not much of an anchor, really. Anchors sit there on the bottom of the ocean. And my mom is the opposite. Number one, she would rather be dead than caught alive just sitting there, staring out into space. And she doesn’t like to swim.

But on the other hand, she is an anchor for the Chinese AM Radio here in Houston. You can actually hear her up there in her own little fifteen minute show. I once went with her over to the recording studio. Let me show you just how it felt to see what it was, and be on the radio.

The Baby Side Of Town

Yesterday, I was swimming at the Swimming Place. Now, the Swimming Place is split into three sections, as I call it. The left side has 9 lanes running left to right, and we call that the west side of town. I have only swam in the west side twice.

Every-time I swim, I usually swim in the East side of town, or the middle section. These two areas are actually one body, except there is a walkway down the middle we call the Highway. On the very right is a three-lane tiny area that’s very shallow. That’s the Baby Side of Town. Everyone knows that babies have peed in it. Nobody really trusts the rumor, but no one ignores it either.

The Chef Cooks His First Dinner

I was the chef on my camping trip. No kidding! I made a whole lot of meals for my dad and me on the Lost Maple Trip. However, not all of them were, really, —enjoyable.

I learned how to cook noodles with tomatoes and lettuce. I learned how to make soup. I learned how to fry vegetables and how to make lettuce, although it wasn’t all that great (imagine burning sparks landing on your hand).

Catastrophy

Today, I have no thanks to give. It is a catastrophy. On a Brad Basis Chart, it would be a zero. This is the reason why.

On November 22, 2006, our house became part of the Harry Potter story. Yep! Our house was a “leaky cauldron”. No kidding! The reason of our unfortunate happening was in the plumbing.

The Feat Of Seven

I have done a great feat today. Greater than any record done before in our household. A goal that I have been straining to reach for two months has been done. I have set a new record in my father and me’s game of Five-In-A-Row.

The game is this: I am the white and my dad is the black. Whoever gets five in a row wins, so you have to stop the other person from winning and making five in a row yourself. It’s actually a matter of making two at the same time so they can’t block it.

One Week: Nothing To Be Thankful

I have nothing to be thankful for. It has been a simply awful week. If I were to rate it as a judge, 10 meaning best and 1 meaning worse, I would vote about a 1. It was simply dreadful.

First thing off, my watch broke. A $20 dollar watch, after just one year of use, had broke. And it was just my luck that I didn’t register it. No registration, no repairs. Uh, oh. Thankfully (my only thing thankful for) I still got a new one for $30 dollars.

Buzz… The Spelling BEE

Buzz off! I’m trying trying to “bee” our school Spelling BEE champ! Yep, it’s true! The day before yesterday, I did a spelling test for words like “opacity” or “acromegaly”. And if your spelling dictionary marks that acromegaly as wrong, like mine did, know that it is correct. Want proof?

Walking In The Hazel Mist

This evening, when I was taking a walk outside, I noticed that the creek behind our house was covered with a hazy vapor. At first, I thought that I was dizzy, because I almost never saw this kind of haze in the creek.

However, when I looked at it closely, I realized it was real. It was a mist on top of the creek! It looked very beautiful.

Speech Contest Text

Just because I feel like it, I have decided to translate my Chinese speech contest text into English so the whole world can enjoy it! Feel free to guess where I messed up…

When I was small, I loved to travel. The first time I traveled was in my mother’s tummy. I was only three months, yet I was going with my mother to Yellowstone National Park. Sadly and unfortunately for me, I could not see anything. All I got to do was follow my mother around.
