I Know What You Did Last Summer

During this winter break, I have read two books and they are all awesome. The first one is 'The Terrorist', which I told you about in my blog post. This book 'I know what you did last summer' is also one of them, and this book is better than 'The Terrorist'. It is a really good book Mrs. Hodgeson the librarian recommended. I thought this book would be out in the library, but when I looked for it, there was... luckily.

This book is about five teenagers; Julie, Helen, Barry, Ray and Collie. There is another teenager called Bud, but he doesn't appear a lot during this book... except for at the last part. Julie used to go out with Ray and broke up so she is going out with Bud. Barry and Helen are going out together, and Helen likes Bud really much. They are all good friends. On one morning, Julie got a note called 'I know what you did last summer' and Ray got a email which said the same thing. One day, when Barry was driving with Julie, Helen, and Ray, they killed a little young boy called Davy by a car accident. Ray called a police and reported it. They were all scared that they would get caught so they just went to their house and left the killed boy with no supervision. Helen meets a boy called Collie and realized that he was a nice kind boy.

It was just a normal night. Barry was in front of the stadium. There was a bright light in front of him, and after a few seconds, there was a gunshot, and Barry got a bad injury in his spine. He was moved to the hospital and had to stay there for a long time. Helen was absolutely shocked, and she sent flowers to her. Julie also was shocked so she sent a bunch of yellow roses. Julie and Ray tried to find out the connection of Barry's shot, the note, and the little kid's death. They thought that one of Davy's family wanted to seek revenge and shot Barry. They were keep wondering Barry's shooter and tried to discover about all of this. While Barry was in the hospital, Ray visited him and asked about this shooting thing. He said that it was just a robbery because his 50$ was gone after he got shot. Ray was relieved by this news and told everyone else. Everyone was relieved.

One day, when Helen came back to her house after she swam, she realized that Collie was sitting on her purple chair. He said that he was the one who shot Barry, sent those letters and did all those bad things. He said that Davy was his half brother so he wanted to do revenge and kill Barry, Ray, Julie, and Helen. Helen was scared so she wanted to jump out of the window but Collie blocked her. She went to the bathroom and locked the door. She was very scared so she just jumped out of the bathroom window.

After a few hours, Julie had a date with Bud at the evening. When Bud came to her house, Bud made Julie come to the car and he wanted to talk to her. He then said that he was Collie and he disguised himself as Bud as well. He said that he pretended to be two person at the same time. He also said that he was Davy's brother and he also wanted to do revenge. He even knew that Julie sent flowers to Barry. Julie was scared. She knew that Bud would kill her. After a while, Ray came to help Julie. Bud was gone and he said that Bud attacked her for no reason. This book ends while Julie talks to Ray and hugs each other.

Another Fallen Teeth

Well, there was another one. About one month ago, I posted about my fallen teeth... and it happened last week. My back teeth started shaking since 1 month ago (a looooong time) and I could've took it off, but I was scared to. Like I said, I don't like taking my teeth off because it hurts. This is how my story about the 'fallen teeth'.

Well, I invited Young Woo to my house and started playing this Korean game called 'Crazy Arcade'. Suddenly, my mom came in and gave a spicy Korean food called Tteok Bokk Ki (Weird name). We were eating it and playing games at the same time. I was eating it, and suddenly, I chewed something hard that wasn't like Tteok Bokk Ki. When I took that hard thing off, I realized it was my fallen teeth. My mouth was filled with blood and there were a lot of blood, but fortuitously, it didn't hurt AT ALL! I was relieved and I was happy because when I still had my shaking teeth, it hurt a lot when I was chewing other food. It bothered me, and I wanted to take it off, but i was scared to. I went to the bathroom then and washed my mouth. It was my second back teeth that fell off. I don't have any shaking teeth now, but when that happens, I will let the teeth fall off automatically. Then, I started playing with Young Woo 'Crazy Arcade' again for 1 hour!!!

P.S.: Young Woo and I are both good in Crazy Arcade.. but he's a little better. =)

Avatar

Yesterday afternoon, I had nothing to do except for staying at home, doing nothing. Then, my mom said "Si Won! Do you want to watch the movie Avatar?" I said, "YES MOM!" I headed to the movie theater in PIM with my little sister. It was the 2:45 time and we just got in time. This movie is a science fiction movie which can be in 3D. I thought watching in 3D would be dizzy so I just watched the normal one. Avatar is not the Avatar cartoon that u can watch in Disney Channel... it's a movie. (You can realize this on the pic)

Avatar is about a main character named Jake Sully. He meets a lady called Grace, and became friends. When they go in the container kind of place, you turn into a monster (in the pic left side). This monster is tall and strong. One day, when Jake Sully became a monster by going in the container, he hunted by himself and got chased by a huge monster which is a different kind as him. He got saved by another monster looking similar as him but a different kind. It was a female, and she took him to her family. The family had over 300 people. Jake Sully learned how to become their kind and learned their language, how they act, and got a dragon looking huge bird. One day, the real human came to destroy their world and destroyed their enormous tree with a missile. Jake Sully and the others decided to do revenge so they had a huge war. They had over 500 dragon looking birds and over 500 horses, and also men. The human had a explosive bomb and lots of tanks, airplanes, missiles, rocket launcher... etc. They fought, and after a long fight, Jake Sully's team won. However, the boss of the human was still alive, and fought Jake Sully and his girlfriend. When the boss was about to kill Jake with a knife, his girlfriend shot two arrows on his chest and he died.

This was a great movie with lots of action. I loved watching it but it was a long movie which was 2 hours and 35 minutes. Before I watched it, I was disappointed because I thought it was the cartoon Avatar, but it wasn't. My sister says it was one of the best movies she has ever watched. I love this movie, but it isn't the best movie I ever watched.

It's CHRISTMAS!!!

The day that everyone waited... CHRISTMAS!!! It's finally Christmas today!!! On Decemeber 25! Most people celebrate on Christmas. They go to relatives' house, play with their friends, go Christmas shopping, and do a lot of things. Well, I don't. Even though it's the December holiday, I don't go anywhere... (Even though I might go to Bali), don't go Christmas shopping, and DONT EVEN GET PRESENTS!! I don't know what to get for Christmas. My mom already bought me a Kipling Bag about 2 weeks ago, but I don't count that as a Christmas present. However, if I know what to get and I ask my parents to buy them, they 'might'.

Some people believe in Santa Claus and some people don't. In my case, I believed Santa Claus last year, but I don't anymore. I did a test if Santa gives us presents on Christmas last year. I was in Malaysia with my friends then. When I was sleeping and my friend on the other bed, he woke me up and said 'Lets see if Santa Claus is our parents and lets stay up until they come.' My friend's mom went up for shopping and didn't come back until 3. Suddenly, his mom opened the door so we rushed back to our room. She brought a shopping bag so we thought that it was our presents. When my friend's mom went to her room, we sneaked up to the shopping bag and looked. It was... my friends baby sister's present!!! Next morning, we realized that Santa Claus is not real.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY!!!

Gukgadaepyo

Yesterday night, after I came back home from a Korean restaurant called Chunggiwa, my dad decided to watch a Korean movie called Gukgadaepyo. My dad already watched it but he said it was a great movie so he wanted to watch again. My mom, my sister and I haven't watched it before but I heard that it is a good movie.

It is about a man (the guy that is in the middle in the pic) that lost (but didn't pass away) his mom. He wanted to find his mom so he wanted to be famous by being a Korean Ski player in the National Team. When he went to his first training, he met a coach, and 4 other teammates. In the picture, the one who is in the most left is a Middle Schooler, and he was a bit mental, but in ski, there was no age limit, so he decided to be a ski player, but only if someone gets injured in his team. After over 1 year of training, they still slipped and weren't good enough, but they trained every night and day so they became better. They had to participate in the ski World Cup and be in at least 6th place out of 8 to go in the Olympic in Japan. The day before the World Cup, all the ski players met each other. The Korean national team and the American national team fought by punching and kicking. The referees decided to not let Koreans play in the World Cup so they were disqualified. They just watched the other players ski in the TV. Suddenly, there was a bad fog and lots and lots of snow. The World Cup got cancelled so the referees decided to make all teams qualify and go in the Olympic!!! In the ski Olympic, they had two trials. Korea had to go last and this was the first time Korea participated in the ski World Cup. In the first trial, the first person got 130 m so Korea jumped up to 3rd place, where you could get a bronze medal. The second person slipped so they went back to 11th place out of 13. The third person got 128 m so they went up to 6th place. The last person did a good job so they jumped up to 3rd place again. After a rest, there was the second trial. The first person got 136 m so they stayed at 3rd place. The second and third person also did good but the other countries were even better so they went back down to 5th. The last person got injured in the first trial so the mental Middle Schooler had to replace him. He did a good job! He went soooo far but... he FELL! Other people gasped but still cheered for him. Korea went to 13th (last) place and the tournament ended.

I thought this was one of the best movies I've ever seen and the ski players jumping was really cool. I hope I could do that sometime and I really really loved it. YAY!!!! What a GREAT holiday!

The Terrorist

Caroline B. Cooney

*****

I recently finished a book called The Terrorist by Caroline B. Cooney. She is a really good author, and a few days ago, Mrs. Hodgeson came to our class and introduced this new author to us. When we went to the library, there was a green bucket which contained Caroline B. Cooney books and also Lois Duncan books. It was swarming near the green bucket, so I just reached my arm and picked up a book. LUCKILY, I chose The Terrorist. My four choices were The face in the Milk Carton, I know what you did last summer, Stranger with two faces, and The Terrorist, and I actually picked up the one I really wanted to read! And of course, it turned out to be good.

This book is about a girl named Laura and her younger brother, Billy. When Billy and his two friends got out of the train and got to Baker Street, they decided to do a race and see who gets out to the fresh air first. It was five pence for the winner. Passengers were all crowding (swarming) to the train, so his friends were way ahead. When Billy was running, there was a man who stopped him. He smiled, and gave a package to him and said that his friends dropped this. He knew it was a bomb after he got it, and he didn't want to throw it at the crowd, so he just let it explode in his hands. Unfortunately, Billy got killed by the bomb. His sister Laura, soon heard the news of Billy, and was shocked. This incident was in news, and newspapers. Everyone soon knew what happened. Laura went to a school called London International Academy (LIA) and had lots of friend there, like Mohammed, Con, Jimmy, Jehran and lots more. Laura thought she had to find Billy's killer, so he suspected everyone. Her neighbours, teachers at school, and even friends. She searched everywhere for clues, but it was no use. One day, Laura went to a slumber party at Jehran's. Everyone was there. Suddenly, Jehran asked Laura for Billy's passport. Jehran looked like Billy even though she was a girl. Jehran said that she is in danger, and have to flee this country, England. Jehran wanted to flee to America, but when she gets Billy's passport, she would only be 11, so she couldn't go to America alone. She needed a person older than 15 to go with her. Laura was older than 15, so Jehran decided to go with Laura. Laura pretended to go to a place called Edinburgh with Jehran, and lied to her parents. When Jehran and Laura reached the airport. They bought two tickets. One for Laura and one for Jehran. The Passport Control man looked at Jehran's passport (which was actually Billy's) and believed that it was Billy, not Jehran. Suddenly, Laura decided to turn back and go home. She didn't want to go to another country just because Jehran's life was in danger. When she told that to her, Jehran said that she went through weeks of planning just to go out of England. Confusion filled Laura's brain. What Jehran said meant that Jehran killed Billy just to get Billy's passport to flee this country! Laura understood it. All the soldiers in Jehran's house was a terrorist, helping her. Jehran started threatening Laura. She said that she doesn't want to die the way Billy did. Laura knew that Jehran was a terrorist and she called the Airport Security. Then, Jehran started plan B, which was to run away. Mr. Evans came to Laura to help her and calm her down. Laura told all her friends and returned home.

Go MERAPI!!!

Thursday was MADNESS DAY!!! It was an awesome day... one of the best days of this school year. In Madness day, there were 6 volcanos; Merapi, Bromo, Agung, Krakatau, Salak and Rinjani. I was in Merapi, which wore the green color. Each person had to participate in 2 activities, and I got chosen in volleyball and big ball soccer.

The first session was volleyball, which was a really fun sport. Merapi first played Bromo, which was not a easy match. They had a really tall and good Korean player, who was at least 20 cm taller than me. We were winning really bad until... the Korean guy served. He made 7 serves in a row, and they overtook us, and they won 16: 14, after going in deuce. We lost our first match so I was disappointed. Next match was Salak. They weren't really good, so we won by about 8. We also won by 5 the next match, which were Rinjani. The last match, we faced Krakatau. We lost 15: 11. They were soooo good, and they came in 2nd place. We came in 4th place, Bromo came 1st, and I'm not sure about Salak and Agung.

After the 15 minute break, I had big ball soccer. This was better than the volleyball, because soccer is my favourite sport. We used the BIG BALL for the soccer ball, and it was really difficult to kick!!! Lots of people fell down, and when I faced Bromo, I got hit with the enormous ball two times in a row. It really hurt. We tied all our games 0:0 so I was disappointed. I almost scored at the first match, because when I scored, the finish whistle blowed 2 seconds ago. Krakatau came first, and we came 4th (I think).

After another break, we headed down to the New Gym, to watch the Student v.s. Teacher basketball game. For the 6th grade, the students won. For the 7th and 8th grade, the students won again!!! I thought this would never happen... but it did! I hope I participated in this, but I forgot to sign up. Then, Mr. Boots told us who won the Madness Cup. "Come on Merapi... Come on!!!" I thought. Well, THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

This is the list...
1. Agung
2. Krakatau
3. Bromo
4. Salak
5. Rinjani
6. MeRaPi!!!!!
We came LAST place. I knew this would happen, because we came 5th place at the Madness 1. Agung got the trophy, but we will definitely win the next Madness!!! Go MERAPI!!!!!!!!!
