I"M GOING TO FAINT!!!!

Dear Journal,

1. Sorry I haven't been writing for a long time. I have been busy with school and homework and things like that. Plus a couple of holidays. Today I got extra homework but I'll talk about that later. It's involved in one of my other paragraphs in my post today.

2. I am so happy and a little sad, but as I said in my last paragraph I will talk about my sadness in another paragraph and that also includes why I have so much homework. Anyways, I am happy because my mom HAS talked to Emma (my friend Elisheva's mom) about having a sleepover. Me and Elisheva have been talking about it for weeks since we met. I can't wait for 2 weeks, because after Simhat Torah, she will come to my house and sleepover.

3. Something else I'm happy about is....I got....a....Wii!! About 3 or 4 days ago....well actually let me talk about the place first. There is this little shop down a little bit away from the Racquet Club (where I live), but its a good walk. About 3 or 4 days ago, me, my brother and my dad walked over to the place. It's called Playstation III, at least that's what I think it's called. That's what Jacob calls it when he wants to go there. But my point is, we went over to PS III, and we were going to get a new game cube controller. But my dad was looking around and looked at the board that had a picture of a Wii on it, and all the prices. He said "How much is a Wii with 10 games, the charger, and the actual Wii?" And 10 minutes after that, we had a Wii. But we didn't take it home right away. We went back at night and picked up the Wii and everything. But you don't want to know the sad part, so I won't tell you. Everything worked out perfectly, after a little incident....oooops!

4. Finally, why I am sad. HHHMMMM....I have a very important announcement to make:
There is...a....TYPHOON (a hurricane)!! I'M GOING TO FAINT!!HHHHHH....(crying,crying). That's why I have so much homework, my teacher knew that there wasn't going to be school tomorrow, and she gave us a lot of homework! My teacher, Ms. Sealey, said that all the schools in Shanghai are shut down because of the typhoon.

Typhoons, large cyclones known as hurricanes in the West, regularly hit China, Taiwan, the Philippines and Japan in the summer season, gathering strength from the warm waters of the Pacific or the South China Sea before weakening over land.


AAAAAHHHH!!!!! The typhoon got me!!!!
Gotta go, BYE

So long, farewell, auf vierderzen, Goodbye. I hate to go and leave this pretty site!

Dear Journal,

Bright and early this morning my dad left for Singapore.

(That's where I got the catchy title, as Mrs. Solomon says)

As I was saying, my dad left very early this morning for Singapore. Jack picked my dad up very, very early, I think about... 5:20 am (China time) His flight was at 8 am (China time, not to be confused with Hammer Time; the song).

I woke up at 3 to gheesh (pee), and I couldn't fall back asleep for a while. So I took out my notebook and I wrote a letter to my father, saying:

Dear Daddy,
I love you!! I will miss you so much this next week. I bet Mommy and Jacob (who I do love, but not way up, but way way down) will miss you too.

I am sorry I am disturbing and taking your time. I just didn't think that saying bye and a hug for a second is a goodbye. Please before you leave come and wake me up and give me a kiss. I bet Jacob would like that, too. Plus mom of course. You should never forget Mommy.

Daddy I hope you have a good 5 1/2 to 6 days of good things in Singapore. But when you're gone, who will go on weekends to buy us videos and dvds? Cause mommy doesn't like to shop, Jacob not so much either.

Well, Jack (I think) is waiting, I think you should go and work as hard as you can to get more money. (Other side of paper)

Love, Goldie D. your daughter


When I was done with the letter, I left my room and quietly (squeakily) tip toed to my mom and dad's room. I couldn't' see so it was hard to put the letter on my dad's nightstand. I felt what was around me, and I finally found a place to put it. I think I put it on top of his cell phone and under a cassette tape. I quickly but squeakily left their room and went to my bunk bed. I tried to go to sleep and I finally did.

So long, farewell, Auf veidersen Goodbye
I fleet, I float, I fleetly fleet I fly,
Goodbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!
