Spy's and Pirates, Chinese new year, COVID cases and We Are Young
A weekly newsletter from a 12 year old trying to balance school, parents, activities & the world…and of course, homework. An honest description of how I see the world.
~3 on School~ Chinese New Year!
This week has been really fun because it’s a holiday for Chinese new year! Most of my friends in different schools had holidays only until Wednesday, but we get the whole week plus next Monday!! I told this to my friend and she was so jealous! So she said “LUCKYYYYY!!!!!!!!” and since she was so busy stomping around she did not see that there was a bunch of pillows in front of her and she fell down!!🤣🤣
I had a playdate this week with one of my best friends, and we decided to do something super fun (everyone else called it dumb)!! We took one of our faviroute books of all time, Keeper of the Lost Cities (which anyone and everyone should totally read because it’s SO GOOD!) and we decided to rewrite the whole book onto a spare notebook that she had!! It took 1 hour and a half to write a few pages between the both of us, so we still have to finish chapter 1!! But it is actually really fun to do!👍👍
One day when I went running in the morning, I was listening to music, pleasantly enjoying it when suddenly out of nowhere my brother comes up behind me and says “HAHAH HI!” and I’m like “OH GOD WHAT-” then he’s chasing me on his scooter, forcing me to run MORE!!😭😭
~2 on Family~ Spy’s and Pirates!!
Yesterday my brother and I cut out one of those transparent sheets from his school handwriting book (he never used it anyway) and used it to make spy glasses! Patent pending. They are flimsy little things with bits of paper stuck behind it to make a band, BEHOLD, and amazing spy glasses!!!!!😮😮👍👍
Today my Dad, brother and I watched the first movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean!! We’ve watched it before but I forgot so we are rewatching it!! It’s so good and SO FUNNY!!!! The main character is a pirate called Jack Sparrow, and he’s really funny! Then there’s different plot’s for each of the movie’s, so it’s always really good!!!
~1 on World~ 3,101 new COVID cases!!
There were 3,101 new Covid-19 cases recorded in Singapore as at noon on Wednesday (Feb 2), with 2,919 local and 182 imported infections, the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported in its daily update. There was a decrease in community cases, with 2,919 cases reported on Wednesday, 3,201 less than on Tuesday.
Nearly 59 per cent of these cases were detected by antigen rapid tests. This means they displayed no symptoms or their symptoms were mild. About 92 per cent of Singapore's eligible population have completed the full vaccination regimen, and 58 per cent of the total population have received a vaccine booster shot.
~SONG OF THE WEEK~
We Are Young by fun. (feat. Janelle Monáe) because I heard it in a movie and it’s really nice!!
~FACT OF THE WEEK~
It’s impossible to hum while holding your nose. You just tested it, didn’t you? Normally, when you hum, the air is able to escape through your nose to create the sound, and of course, it can’t do that when you’re holding it shut. This is one of the weird facts you can test out for yourself. Go ahead, try it.
