Dear Journal (Grampa writing)

Dear journal,
I was amazed how much things has changed through the years I have been in shanghai (1994-2006). Especially the last year because when I came to shanghai, the place was like Indonesia but now it's a humongous city with skyscrapers and big buildings except for the market in the city with fake copies of DVD. In 2004, I had to retire because I was 65 years old but I liked Shanghai so much, I stayed in Shanghai for 2 more years. In those 2 years, everyday was a fun day because I went shopping and to parties with my wife. The last year I was in Shanghai, it smelled bad, dirty, lots of trucks, cars, buses and bicycles. I hope my grandson would have a life like mine or better.

The soccer match

On the weekend, I went to play in the soccer match against this indonesian team. When I woke up I was real excited and nervous about the game. I got to BIS, I went to the feild to get ready for the match. The other team came onto the field. Some of them were small and fat in my experience of soccer, some small fat kids are real skilled at soccer.
The match started and my position was striker. For the first part of the first quarter, it was 0-0 but at the end of the quarter, one of my teammates crossed the ball in and I scored with a volley. But in the second quarter, The other team scored by chipping the ball over the goalie.The third and fourth quater, they scored 1 goal in each quarter. The score was 3-1 and we lost but it was atleast fun.

Which super hero power would I get?


Which super hero would I want? I would choose teleportation and these are the reasons why I picked it.


One reason is because I would also be able to fly. You can teleport into the air and teleport fast enough you can fly. You would be able to see everything from a place that high!


Another reason I picked it is because you will be able to travel anywhere. If I was in Tokyo, I will be able to travel for free to a baseball match, The Fifa world cup, Paris, you can go anywhere. You can easly go on top of mt. Everest except you will not really be happy that you reached it.


One negative reason is because you wont have to walk. If you just keep teleporting everywhere, you are going to get fat. Just eat sleep and teleport.


If I had to pick another power, I would pick to have is to control earth. You can make surface cracks and easly make the Grand Canyon in my backyard.

1. Europeans brought diseases
2.Dictators stole money from their country and left the people very poor
3.They had Civil war between groups of slave owners but the world never helped
4.There are rich people that controls half of Haiti's wealth
5.Only half of the people have mid school education
6.Dictators persecute many people
7.Outside forces stop Haiti to improve or advance
8.They are jealous of what others have so they don't work together
9.Rivers and lakes are drying up
10.Garbage contaminants are breeding diseases

Having sisters

I just hate having sisters. Yeah, I bet you hate it too but I have twin sisters in 2nd Grade! People say they are cute but trust me, they arent.
One day, I am watching tv on the couch. Then my sisters comes and steals the couch and makes me sit on the ground. So I'm sitting on the ground while my sisters are above me lying on the couch. Then they bring a pecil above my head randomly and stab me on the head with it! It started bleeding and man, it hurt.
Another day, I went downstairs to play soccer for about an hour. While that, my sisters sneak into my room and steals my wallet with my money which had about 900000rp. After soccer, I come back and I see my desk opened. I check inside and there was no sign of my wallet. I tell my mom but she says that I left it in school and I get in trouble when I later figure out that my sister stole my wallet.
If you still think my sisters are cute or cool, you are totally weird.

Whats Going on in Haiti


On Wednesday, 13 January 2010 in Haiti, after a disastrous earthquake, people are very sick and lots of people has died. It says that there were dead piles of people on the ground. By Sunday, 60 people has been rescued and 5 were rescued from a distroyed grocery store which took 24 hours to reach them. The people do not know how many people died but estimates say 100,000 to 150,000 people died. People had to use orange peels to mask the smell of death. Motorbikes and cars have to drive while dodging the dead bodies lieing on the ground. I think it was a really bad luck to get an earthquake in such a poor country.
