Now I start to practice clarinet very hard. I spend three hours on practicing it today. This is all because Conductor Chen picked Xiao to be the first-chair clarinet!I am very not happy about this because first, he really is not a good performer. Second, he is really an arrogant person! I even taught Xiao how to play national anthem when we first joined the orchestra in third grade , and now he always slights to me…sigh…
However, I think that if I train in earnest before that senior conductress coming to review us, she will surly switch Xiao and I back.
“All things come to those who wait.” (before we go to Hong Kong, I will memorize the whole piece of YMCA.)

A funny thing happened yesterday when mama was back with us.
she wanted me to go to YueHua drug store and to get the menstrual pad for her.(it is the stuff which women use it.) I went there without thinking too much, but the cashier gave me a strange glance when I paid the item . Then I immediately got what she was thinking.
Eventually she really gave her words asking : “how old are you?”
!!^@##$$#%$! It is not for me but my mom!
Mama is so evil to send me buying this for her!:(
Although this misunderstanding is funny, I fell not very happy about being recognized as “a precocious girl.” The fact that I am tallest among peers is perhaps the main cause of this situation.

Lately every Saturday is about orchestra rehearsal. This is because that we have four more rehearsals and after that we will go to Hong Kong orchestra carnival for primary school! School is very quite during the holiday, except for the noise from our rehearsal room.
However, I was late again because I slept over, and I even forgot to pay for the taxi.When i was finally rush to there, Conductor Chen, Xiao, Hong...all eyes were focusing on me and this feeling is very fearful. I should never be late again! Never!

My two most hated things in the world is DANCING and RUNNING. I cannot pass the 50 meter-dash test no matter how hard I try! This is totally like my experience in second grade when our class was having the round dance, only me need to stay after school in order to have special training. I am just not good at these body-moving activities. Everyone has his own strong and weak points. For me, writing is perhaps my strong points!

I met Han's mom at the supermarket on the way of home. She complimented me as a helpful and mature child…hee…

In fact, this is only my second time helping grandma to buy grocery from the supermarket. Grandma suddenly said that she need an onion for dinner and I was happy to go outside. Han’s Mom thought I am the type of child who comes to the market daily, and so she said; “Kwok is a good child, our Han never helps me.”

Besides, I have doubted that Han lives nearby for a long time, because I saw his bike once at Sister Ting's stationary store.(I think he is probably in the video games room)
