My First Drum Performance

Drumming Away!
Here's my first drum performance at a music conference. I enjoyed it a lot! I played Mambo No. 5 by myself and other rhythm with my teacher. It was fun!




Here's a short clip of my first performance!

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

All The Way To The Top!
We climbed and climbed, and got to the top of Bukit Timah. Yes!

It's a fun nature walk but look out for the monkeys! We saw them grooming each other on top of cars parked at the reserve. Some monkeys were playing with or chewing on car antenna, and sliding down windscreens (whee!)

Beanie's Pretty Flowers

My Bean Plant Blooms

Wow! Will I get beans soon? I hope so! Exciting!

Green Belt Now!

Whoo Hoo!

The grading was quite difficult but whew! I got my green belt!

Beanie Reaches For The Sky!

Remember the bean from my science teacher?

It has grown!

Yep, that's beanie, from that tiny seedling!



It is scaling the window grills and has gotten right to the top. Wonder where it will head next because it has touched the balcony ceiling.

Beanie is matured now because it is starting to bear flowers.

Y a y!

A Sad Bird Story

Luckily, It's A Happy Ending....

Notice anything strange about this bird here?

Macaws have long colourful tails. But she doesn't.

We were told that Polly's previous owner did not know how to care for her properly. Bored, she developed a bad habit of pulling out her own feathers.

When she was first found, she was in a sorry state apparently, with flesh showing. With good carers, she has grown her feathers back.

But when mum and I saw her, she was still a loner. Sat on her own. Poor bird.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Don't take exotic animals and keep them as pets if you don't know how to care for them.
