A real surprise

 Hey guys! I mean, also a warm welcome to girls, of course. Well, you can't really guess this post's subject from the title. I know, it's quite obvious that a real surprise could mean anything. However... This post isn't about much, so it isn't "*R & T*" a surprise. By the way, "*R & T*" means "Really & Truly", but I put the stars on each end of the sentence because I wanted it to look F - A - N - C - Y. You know, like a boutique or something. No offence, boys, but I'm a girl, right? I like doing what I like to do. Yeah, I know that that doesn't really make sense. But anyway! Back to the topic.
  The main topic was actually supposed to be on where I was going for December, but I decided to keep it a secret - I was quite scared for some reason. So. When I got that scared feeling, I decided to change the topic to "A new blog???..... Again?" But I didn't really want it to stand out, so.... I just decided to keep it a secret. Have I introduced you to my Best Friends yet? I didn't really mean to make them a public figure, but... How can I introduce my friends to you without introducing you to their names? You need to know their names and what to call them. So, I'm sorry if I might have accidentally betrayed you, Rachael, but I have to.
  As you know, my friend Rachael has chosen - or decided - to make a new blog, just her BFFs and her. We would take turns to post comments, and to post posts as well. I know that it would be fun, even if nobody knew about the blog but us, so that we could express ourselves freely. I think that it would make a good difference in our lives and lighten our heart. All the passers - by who had just looked at this post to read, you have your own place to post your thoughts, as well. Remember "Sharing your Thoughts"? Yep! That's your web sharer, if you want one. Also, if you would like to make a little diary or journal, you could - It would greatly improve your english, whether it's grammar or vocabulary that needs improving. Everybody could improve their English by reading and writing. It's a good habit to write, and sometimes, though it doesn't really matter, you get rewarded for it. For example, there's a writing competition of at least a thousand words that's taking place in the year of 2011. I don't really focus on the prize - I focus on the writing. You'll never know what you might find out about yourself, just through writing.
  Also, just for reference, you can ask any librarian or adult or english whiz about story writing, and they'll give you lots of good advice. You can also ask for my phone number, once you verify that you're someone that I trust and know. Just ask, through school or comments. Geezle peezle, I never get much of a comment in here. Is there something wrong with my computer that doesn't allow me to see comments or ratings? Because the number of visitors to my blog just keep going higher and higher. Honest! I didn't include myself in the bar graph, either.

  Well, that's it for today... And, as usual, I encourage you to be a better writer and get better scores at English! :)

    Warm and Sincere Regards,
  Kirsten Clare, the owner of Kirsten Clare's Diary.

No more glasses! Hurray!

  Well, guys, I should have told you this a month ago, but I didn't want you to know just yet. Although I haven't told you, the topic is clear: No more glasses. Isn't that great? I mean, if glasses are being worn on your nose, you have to always clear the smudges away, or the fingerprints away, so, it's like, annoying. So my mom figured, "Isn't there a way to help my daughter's eyes' prescription go down?" And my mom's favourite optometrist, Miss Feebee, told my mom that there was a way to do that, and it was by Night Lens, otherwise called OK Lens. The lens would help to bring my prescription down pretty fast. I didn't know, but I was quite excited. No more glasses? It was too good to be true. But it was. My mom thought about it for a while, and she agreed to pay half the fare, for the transport fees first, then she would pay the other half after they showed and made sure that I was OK with it and that my eyes didn't have any irritation. My mom thought that the overall fee was quite $$$Expensive$$$ , so she asked Miss Feebee if she could give us a discount. Since we went to only her store to buy the eye care goods, she agreed to lower it by $200. My mom, thrifty, thanked Miss Feebee for the discount.

  The next week came and I was bubbling with anticipation. Miss Feebee had said that the Lens would come in about 2 weeks time, yet I couldn't wait! It was the 6th or the 9th of June, I guess, and we were out at Orchard to buy some stuff. It was fun, until my brother got hurt. he had 4-6 mid-deep cuts on his arms and I bet it hurt a LOT. I pitied him and I felt relieved that I didn't get the injury. Still, I already had even bigger injuries before. And even DEEPER ones. I bit my lip as he was treated - painfully, I think. But we soon had lunch at the Kopitiam store there, and I think everybody was treating my brother extra carefully. Even me! While we were eating, mum got a call from Miss Feebee that the lens had arrived from America. And only in a WEEK! I was so excited that I ate quicker than I ever had before. I bombarded my mom with questions and she got lost in my questions and feeding my younger brother.
  Anyway, we got to the optometrist, tried on the lens, they fit perfectly, went to an eye exam, bombarded with questions and instructions, packed the lens in a bag and Dat-ta-da-da! Done. I know it sounded quick and I hope you're not disappointed that you didn't get filled in with the entire details, but you know, you can never always leave me a comment or suggestion and you know that I will never respond ignore your comments. Thanks for listening / reading and I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog!

    Yours Sincerely, Kirsten Clare @ Kirsten Clare's Diary.

A very BUSY week/ month

  Hiya, fellas! I'm sorry for not posting on my blog for so long... I guess I almost forgot all about it! For those who posted comments and haven't received a reply, don't worry. I have looked at them and probably replied to the replyable-or-whatsoever comments.
  Anyway, back to the subject. Guess what. As you know, today is Tuesday, 5th of July. But I have been VERY busy on Youth Day Off - in - lieu. The reason is because I forgot to ask for clay so my mom had to go to POPULAR to buy me some at nighttime. Because I bought it only at nighttime, I had to do it the next morning. So, luckily I finished it on time, at 6.00p.m. I really was exhausted to be sitting down for so long. I was sooo relieved when I could stand up again. But that's the only the first day. And the first part. For the rest of the story, look out for the titles A very BUSY week/month II and A very BUSY week/month III. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy reading what's in my blog ;D

  P.S. If you have passion for writing, a good grade in English and a busy life full of news(optional), I have an idea for you. Instead of coming to my blog every month or so, why don't you focus on your OWN blog? I mean, you can improve on your English too, right? And if you just give me the website of the blog, I can visit every time I can and I can post feedbacks and suggestions for a better blog entry. You are welcome to visit my website for reference, and any other blog you know of. You may, if she gives you permission, visit my best friend, Rachael's blog. Ask her first - she's always visiting her blog - before you go copying any of her extotic words or designs or photo types or subjects. Her website is shown in my "My favorite/ followed blogs" column. Or if you want quicker access, here her blogsite is: (You can click on it to visit straightaway)

Rachael's precious moments

A new surprise

  Hi guys! I'm posting about some surprising news. Do you like flowers? Or do you like planting or caring for them? If you do, what would you do if your mum got you a batch of seeds to plant? I'd be excited and go plant the seeds right away! Can you guess what the surprise was? Seeds to plant in? Nope. My mum bought me an alive purple Orchid and a Magic Rose. The Orchid was so pretty and the Magic Rose was so... Magical. I gasped when I saw the flowers and asked mum straightaway how she got those. She explained that she had bought them at Chong Pang that morning, applying for my brother's treatment at the doctors', when she walked out and saw a store with lots of pretty flowers inside. She rushed in and asked the lady if the flowers were real. When she heard that the flowers were real, she bought them. She loves planting flowers. In our old garden outside out house, she used to plant flowers everywhere. I must have inherited the love of gardening from her. Anyway, she brought the flowers home, fetched me and vice versa. When I saw the Magic Rose, I was puzzled. "Why are they called Magic Rose? They don't look like roses." I told my mum. "I'm also not sure why, but that's how it is." My mum answered me. "But they are magic because they close up at 6.00 p.m. and bloom in the morning." She said. "Oh..." I said. Then I went inside the house, fetched the spray and watered the Orchid and the Magic Rose. "KC, did you know that if you take good care of the Orchid, new shoots with new flowers will grow?" She asked me. "That would be nice," I said. "But don't overwater it," My mum cautioned me. "If you do, the roots of the Orchid will grow soft and the plant will die." I nodded. After I watered the plants, it was time for lunch. I quickly ate and went back to school for CCA.

Notifications...

  Hi guys... I just noticed something strange on my blog that I think you should be notified about. I think that the blog dates are one day before the actual date here in Singapore. So when they say "30th April 2011", it's actually "1st May 2011". So don't get mixed up that my birthday is on the 30th of April. It's actually the 1st of May, Labour day. This is going to be a short post, but it's a little not-so-serious notification. I'm also going to tell you about the properties of my blog(in case you don't know).
  On the left side of the blog, you can see me riding on a pretend horse. Yes. That is my profile. And in the middle, where the most of the words are, are the posts that I have posted. Above every post, there is the date and time of when I posted the post. And lastly, to the right. There is the "Welcome!" message, the most popular posts, a search bar to search the web/my blog, the total pageviews, my followers and my blog archive.( That means it'll display how many posts I have posted in a certain month and what they are. Then at the bottom, there's the "Subscribe to: Posts Atom" or whatever thing. And lastly, at the very end of my blog, there are a few bold writings saying a little goodbye and thank you to our fellow readers. And that's all for now, but if you have any questions, you can always post a question-comment. I'll be sure to read it and post back. Thank you for reading this notification post and I hope you enjoy reading my blog!
