jasmine(4.4)= Ms Suzanah, I did nothing much during the holidays.... just swimming, eating, playing and going through the primary 4 books. I did not go on a holiday, sentosa, not even Malaysia. I really wished to come back to school. It was so boring at home. Well, that's all I can say about my holidays.

During the december holidays,my family and I went to Australia.We were there because me aunt was studying in Australia.When we went there,it was 18 degrees!!
It was very fun because it felt as if you were in a "air-con" room. We spent eight days there.It was the first time I spent so many days on a overseas trip.
We ate instant noodles every day for breakfast because we had nothing to eat.All the outside food were very expensive so we cooked almost everyday.We went to parts of the country.We went to Perth and Albany.We booked a car to drive to albany.We lived in Perth for the first five days,Two days in albany,and final day back at Perth.We went to visiy aunt's house one last time then we went to Perth's airport to go back to singapore.

During the December holidays my family and I was in Europe. we spent about 12 days there.We went to London, Paris, Venice, Switzerland, Belgium and the whole England. It took us twelve hours from Singapore to London. There were lots of countryside
When we reached there it was 6 A.M. in London. We were in a tour. I was so excited to get on with the tour. It was autumn and yet it was so cold! I was lucky it was not winter time! There is a mall called
Harold. My father told me that it was the place where an episode of Mr Bean was filmed. It was also very famous.
In Paris, it was winter. What I like about Paris
is the Mono Lisa and the Eiffel Tower. The Mono Lisa was in a famous art museum which I do not know the name, but the building was colourful. The Eiffel Tower was huge! I went up there Too! I couldn't believe my eyes!I could see the whole of Paris! It was a wonderful sight. At 7.45 p.m we went there again, but I was not directly bellow it. At 8p.m
it was sparkling! Tiny lights were hung around the Eiffel Tower as though like Christmas trees. It was very nice being in Paris.
In Switzerland, It was also winter. We went up a mountain. There were three stops for the
cable cars. We only got of two stops. The Moment we got up there it was snowing. I thought we only got of for the snow but I was wrong. The tour guide wanted to tell us about the mountain. But still, I played with the snow! The last stop was on the top of the mountain. On the mountain, it was full of snow. The tour guide gave us 30 minutes to play with the snow and go have a drink. We went down the same way. I like Switzerland best because of the snow. I reached home happy and tired. I only typed three places because if I typed more it would be very long and these are the best.

joshua(4.4)During my holiday,I went to three places. First I went to Pulai spring with my father`s ide of the family. We had lots of fun with our cousins aunts and uncles. When it was raining and we had nothing to do, we would usualy play Monopoly or watch tv. Sometimes we go swimming.
The second place is in Beijing, the capital of China and Xian which is the ancient capital of China. My favourite parts were skiing (which is what we came for) and the Great wall of china. We also had a snow fight. It was the best holiday I ever had.

Ms Sue,
Albany is the place where whales will visit during September to early December. When we were there, the whales already left. We went to see the Wind Farm. The wind turbines were HUGE and they looked as if it was planted there by aliens. There were twelve turbines altogether. We went to The Gap. From the Gap,scientist found that Australia was linked to the Antarctica million years ago.We also visited the Blowhole. The Blowhole would shoot out water every few minutes. There were hotels in Australia but we did not stay in them, so we had to book apartments to stay in. We stayed in three to four room apartments. I hope to visit Australia again. :)

I went to Chiangmai and Chiangrai during the Holidays. It was rather fun. I got a Tour Package. When we arrived, we went inside the tour bus. The best I can remember is that we saw the Long neck Women.There was also Elephant rides. It was bumpy.This year, the Elephant is 39 years old. Female.We wnt across the River and I learned that some things can be recycled with Elephant Dung. I got tthis Elephant photo Album. Its material is from the Elephant Dung. I am so amazed at what i saw. That thing on their neck is 2KG. I cant even carry it. They have this belief that if they wear it, they will be beautiful and they wear it beacuse they are afraid the lions might bite their limbs example : Neck. I was on the trip from 7th Dec to 12 December. On the 21st - 23d, I went to Indonesia, Batam. We took about a 1hour ferry to Batam. Nothing much there.

I had a great time in my December holidays.Firstly,I went to Thailand.
It was very fun there,but it aws very hot.On the first day,we check in for room at a hotel.Then the next day, we went to the most popular market call the 'CHARTUCHUT'.There were many things there like 'toiletires and things that we wear.Such as 'slippers and clothes.
On the third day,we went to the beach.There are shops at the side of the beach.The sea water is very clean and blue.My Brother,my father and I went for a swim.
After swimming,the tour guide brought us to a resturant selling sea food.The food was delicious and tasty.I like the Chilli crab most.
On the last day, we went to some shops near our hotel.There were many things there.we had such a fun day at Thailand.
When we reached home,it was about8.45pm we were all very tired.I wish we could go to more country in the next December holiday.

I had a great time in my December holidays. I started my holiday with some readings at home. I locked myself in my room all day reading books. The only times I came out was having my meals, washing up, and watching the TV program.
After a month of reading, my father drove a car to Malaysia Bagan Serai and he brought me there too. We lived in the old Kampong house of my grandma's. I played all day with the friends who lived there. When it was time to go home, it was very sad to say goodbye to them, how nice they've been to me.
When I reached home, I helped my mother prepare for the new year. I normally wiped the windows and tidy up the house for mum. after all the hardword I packed my schoolbag for school.
My dear holiday ended like that. I should say goodbye 2007 and hello 2008.

During the december holidays, I went to my grandma's house to stay for more than one week. I go there with my cousins, Yong Jie and Yong Ping. I have seven cousins. Four of my cousins lived in Hougang Tower one and Tower three near my grandma's house. I stayed in Ang Mo Kio while Yong Jie and Yong Ping stayed in Sambawang(i don't know how to spell). On the second day, My godfather and my godmather brought four of my cousins to Tampines to buy clothes. My four cousins were Joyce, Yong Jie, Yong Ping and me. My godfather bought me two terrapins which can glow in the dark. It is not so expensive. One for $4 and one the comtainer is $10.80. I bought it near the NTUC. Who want to buy just go to the NTUC there and walk straight and turn left and walk straight again. Maybe yu will find the shop! At my grandma's house was fun and wonderful day.

I went to Eastern Europe during the Dec holdays with my family. We went to:
Berlin(Germany), Prague(Czech Republic), Krakow(Poland), Budapest(Hungary)and Vienna(Austria).

My most memorable part of the trip is Poland because that was the first time I touched snow in my life. It was also my first time experiencing such cold weather (-12 degrees)

We also visited the Auschwitz Concentration Camp where millions of Jews were tortured and massacred by the Nazi Germans during World War II. It was an eerie feeling to be at such a place.

An exciting part of the trip was our visit to the underground Salt Mine in Krakow. We went as far down as 163 meters underground through several tunnels and caverns, filled with beautiful statues made out of salt rocks.

In Budapest, we had dinner in a restaurant and enjoyed a Hungarian Folkalore music and dance at the same time. Unfortunately, I lost my hat, scarf and a pair of gloves due to my carelessness after our dinner there.

I spent a white Christmas in Budapest. I woke up early on Christmas Day and found many vehicles covered with glaring white snow on it. And I played with snow again!

The wonderful day ended with a River Danube cruise in the evening.
I understand that this River Danube is Europe's most inportant river for it is the longest one.

Vienna was our last destination but dissapointingly, it was the most boring one of all. I fell fast asleep in the theatre as the boring music enhanced my sleep well.

Still, it was my best holiday ever!
