Slice Of Life #43 - Meeting My Grandfather And Grandmother (This Was Wrote From 26/6/2017 - 27/6/2017 But Was Published On 27/6/2017 And This Happened On 25/6/2017)

Killer Energy

    I had woke up, and it was really late - 12:00 in the afternoon. My mom and dad had already planned to go to Kelly Castle in Ipoh. At 2:00, we set off. We stopped to eat and then went to Kelly Castle. Along the way, I read some books such as Horrible Science - Killer Energy

                   The Young Scientists

We stopped at a "Tapah Resthouse" - A really big resthouse  - to go to the toilet. After a hour, we reached Kelly Castle. Here are some things I learned:

• Kellie Castle was supposed to be a place to stay in but Kelly died before it was completed.
• Kellie Castle was a haunted place
• Kellie Castle should have had the very first lift in Malaya (Malaysia was called Malaya in the olden days, before Sabah and Sarawak joined Malaysia / Malaya), but Kelly died on the way to collect the lift.
• Kellie had won many horse races
• Kellie's daughter's and son's room were connected and they even had a secret staircase to use when they wanted to go down
• Kellie's daughter and son had the secret staircase because:

1.  It was going to be a long way to go down from their bedroom if they didn't have the secret staircase
2. For safety reasons

• Kellie had guards guarding Kelly Castle
• Kellie had many guestrooms

  

  I had learned a lot from Kellie Castle. I even recognized a part of Kellie's Castle from a Drama / Movie. When my mom and dad first met, they went to Kellie's Castle. When my dad was small and was a Boy Scout, he went to Kellie's Castle. At that time, they did not have the bridge so my dad had to swim across the river. (At that time my dad did not know how to swim so he had to hold a rope and "Climb" across the river.
    After we went to Kellie's Castle, I went to see my grandfather's factory and where my dad stayed before he moved to his new house (Where my grandfather and grandmother are living now). We then went to my grandfather's and grandmother's house (the present one - the one they are living in). We then went to eat. The food we ate was very yummy. After we went to eat, I said goodbye to my grandparents and then went home. It was a day of fun and exictment.

Slice Of Life #41 - Welcome To Scotland!!!!! (13/6/2017)

Currently, I am in Scotland. The time in Scotland is 7 hours slower. I am having a hard time keeping track of the time in Malaysia and that is why I am publishing this slice later than normal. I took a Emirates airlines plane here. They gave me a ton of things. I also transited at Dubai and again, I took a Emirates airlines flight. Hey then gave me even more things to take home. Here are some of the things they gave me 1. 2 Bags 2. 2 Magazines (They Were All The Same 3. 2 Stuff Animals 4. 2 Packs Of Color Pencils 5. 1 "Traveling Card" Currently, I am writing this on a bus so I don't have too much time to write, and so this slice will be shorter than other slices. Have you ever been to a place that does not share the same time in your country? Thanks for reading my blog!!! I am looking forward to seeing your comments in the comment section below!!!

Slice Of Life #40 - SUPERCAMP!!! - Part 2 - Episode 2 (This was wrote from 2/6/2017 - 3/6/2017 but was published on 6/6/2017 and this happened on 28/5/2017)

    It was day 2. Somehow I arrived around 8:30 (The registration time) and they still were not down yet. But I found out that they started at exactly the time 8:30. I quickly got registered and went put my bag down, and then join the group. Then we played a game I didn't think was very fun because we just had to do rock, paper, scissors and if we lost, we just had to follow the person we lost to everywhere the person went. We played some other games and then went upstairs to the classroom.
   On the way up to the classroom, I chatted with a dude called Lucas. We started talking about why our team leader crashed into the wishing well the previous day. "Maybe he wants to steal all the money or he secretly dropped in a coin and wished that everyone's wish doesn't come true." Then we just started laughing.
    "LET US IN!!! LET US IN!!! LET US IN!!!" We all chanted so we could go in to the classroom. When we went into the classroom, we just started dancing. Then we sat down and they welcomed us back with a "WELCOME BACK TO SUPERCAMP!!!" After that, we talked about looking for the good in people. Then we got a book. It was called a show-book. We then started to pass the books to everyone in our group and wrote something good about the person in his/her's book.
     Then it was time for a break. I saw some people playing soccer and then I just ate some of my bread. When we went in, we again started dancing and then 2 of the team leaders started arguing. I don't think the arguing was real and that it was just a example because:

1. Both of them would have been sent home because of the airport rules - One of them destroyed property and another pushed the other.
2. They started looking at us.
3. They weren't allowed to use phones.
4. They then did the thing again in a nicer way.

Then we just started talking about the things we should not do:

1. Swear
2. Use Bad Words
3. Call People Names
4. Shout Or YELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! (Shout Or Yell)

Then we just started practicing how to say sorry and that was it for the next 30 mins. We then did a activity where we said:

I may not be good at...

But I am very good at...

This is what I said: 

I may not be very tough, but I am very confident.

Then we played a boring game where we had to split into 2 groups and then tell everyone what we were good at and what we were not. Then at the end, we just dropped the rope on the floor. Then we again took our show-book and recorded all the things we learned down. After that, we just started to write down the things we learned in the day before and that was it till it was lunchtime. The lunch food was spaghetti but the spaghetti had nothing but tomatoes so it wasn't very yummy (No Offence).

    When we came back, we talked about mind maps and then we made a mind map about magnets in our show-book. It was really fun and we all liked how the teacher - Eva said correct like "Coret". It was FUN. Then we packed up and then went into a classroom to "hide" from the parents. Then we did a recap of what we did in the first 2 days and talked about how we were going to go into the room to "surprise" the parents. Then we did a recap of what we did and then took our things and went back home. My team leader - Sam talked to my parents while I went to the toilet. I found out that I got to keep my name tag (It's actually still in the car). I said goodbye to my team leader - Sam and wished to see him next time and then took my bag and show-book home.

Cause And Effect In Space (1/6/2017)

    Yesterday, we did a cause and effect activity. We had to find the effect of something and what caused it to happen. This was our group's picture:

Slice Of Life #40 - SUPERCAMP!!! - Part 1 - Episode 1 (This was wrote from 29/5/2017 - 30/5/2017 but was published on 30/5/2017 and this happened on 27/5/2017)

    It was 7:30 in the morning. Finally! Time to go to Supercamp! I had woke up many times that morning. I was really excited to go to Supercamp.
    We arrived at Supercamp at 8:00. This time, Supercamp was being held at GIS - Garden International School. I registered and went to put my bags like everyone did, and went to join the group. We started playing a game called Ninja. It was a game when you had 2 hands as swords, and we had to try to chop of each other's hand (Also known as sword, which kind of doesn't make sense.) It was a really fun game. I decided to go on full protection mode and was very careful when I attacked people because they can also easily kill you if you are not careful. After that, we played a weird game where snakes would eat rabbits (I know that's not weird...), rabbits would eat horses (Common sense???), and horses would eat snakes (Not too bad, but still... Common Sense???).
     After that, we went up to the classroom. At first, they said this: Boys here, girls here, don't go in the wrong room!". At first I thought that boys and girls were separated. It was until I realized it was the bathroom. After that, I learned that the magic word for going in is LET US IN!!! LET US IN!!! LET US IN!!! (How rude...). After that, everyone wanted to go in, so then we all started chanting: LET US IN!!! LET US IN!!! LET US IN!!! and they let us in. When we went in, we all started dancing (I didn't want to dance, but I did.). Then they all introduced themselves and did the "2 Truths, 1 Lie" game. I found many weird facts and I also found a good tip for the "2 Truths, 1 Lie" game - The most common one is the false one. I found out that my team leader - Sam, has some stitches on his head because he was playing wrestling with his friends. (His friend just dropped him and he started crying. There was blood everywhere. (Then his girlfriend just walked past, HEHE...)) After that, we went into our groups and introduced ourselves, then played a "Get to know yourself better" game. After that, one of the teachers told us the "Airport Rules" at Supercamp. The rules were really strict. Do 1 thing wrong and they pull you out of the group, have a chat (Really, they get really mad with you) with you, and SEND YOU BACK HOME with NO REFUND of the program. Then, it was break time. I watched some people practice baseball on the field. It was fun.
    Then we went in and made a shopping list (We didn't really need it). We used some "Power pegs" to remember the shopping list.

Power Pegs:

1. Sun
2. Eyes
3. Triangles
4. Floors
5. Fingers
6. Sticks
7. 7 Up
8. Octopus (Tentacles)
9. Lives (It's a myth that cats have 9 lives)
10. Hen
11. Hands (Put your hands up and they look like 11)
12. Fried Eggs
13. Black Friday
14. Heart
15. Tennis
16. Sweets
17. Magazine
18. Graduation
19. 19 Inch Tv
20. MONEY!!! $$$$

Shopping List:

1.  Ice Cream
2. Mc Donalds
3. Potatoes
4. Fried Chicken
5. Kimchi
6.  Fish
7. Chips
8. Sausage
9. Pizza
10. (I forgot)
11. KFC
12. (I forgot)
13. (I forgot)
14. Sushi
15. Coca Cola
16. (I forgot)
17. VEGETABLES!!!
18. (I forgot)
19. Candy
20. Chocolate

    After that, we went back into our groups and played a game where you had to give/do what the teacher said and the fastest group would win 1000 points. Our group was not too good (No Offence if anyone from my group is reading my blog, but it's true...). We only got 3000 points. The winning group was group J (I was group I) and they got some candy (I think because I couldn't really see). After that, we had break time. I ate some bread and watched a friend in my team called Jedi dance. He was a AWESOME dancer. In fact, he won 7 dance tournaments!!!

    After that, we learned that the founder of Supercamp was called Bobbi (At first I thought it was spelled Bobby). He interviewed a lot of popular people and asked them their key to success. She (She's a girl) then came up with 8 keys to success. "Keys open the doors, keys open the doors. Keys, keys, open the doors." Then they said at Supercamp, when you heard the word "keys", you had to say: Keys open the doors, keys open the doors. Keys, keys, open the doors.

The 8 Keys To Success

1. Integrity - Your values matches with your actions.
2. Failure Leads To Success - It's ok to fail! Failure = Feedback
3. Speak With Good Purpose - Words are powerful, it can build people up, and tear people down.
4. This Is It - Make the most/ best of every moment.
5. Commitment - Put in 100% effort and make your dreams come true!
6. Ownership - Take responsibility over the choices that you make and the consequences that could happen.
7. Flexibility - Be willing to do things differently.
8. Balance - Make good decisions in life.

   Then, we wrote down what was our favorite Key to success and why it was our favorite key to success. My favorite key was Failure Leads To Success because I like learning by failing. Then it was time to go home. We returned our name tags, I went to the toilet, and chatted with one of the team leaders, Taf all the way down. On the field, I saw some people half naked playing rugby. I quickly found my dad beside the field and we went home. (There was a net separating my us and the "half naked rugby dudes".)
