math exam treat

One day before math exam,
Mum: Kathleen, where do you want to have lunch? At foodcourt near new MRT station or foodcourt near CC?
Kate: The one near CC.
Mum: Are you sure? It's further. And it's quite a hot day.
Kate: Yup, I'm sure.

On the way to foodcourt,
Kate: Mum, let's have KFC for our lunch
(Aha! This is why she chose it! There's KFC near the CC)
Mum: Well, if you get full mark for your math exam tomorrow, you can have KFC.
(not that Mum expects a full mark, but just an excuse to not having KFC so often)
Kate: No way ... How about 95?
(wow, she is so confident)
Mum: Ok, if you get above 95, we'll go to KFC. If you get 95 or below, you won't have it until your birthday.
Kate: It's not fair ... my birthday is still one month away. How about until end of the month?
Mum: Nope. End of the month is only about 1 week away.
Kate: Hmm ... ok, deal.

Few days later,
Kate: Mum, it's not fair. My friend has 90 as his target and his treat is going to New Zealand. My target is 95 but my treat is only KFC. I should have bigger treat.
Mum: Hmm ... what treat do you want?
Kate: I don't know. But something bigger than going to New Zealand.
Mum: How about another big hug from me?
Kate: Hoorraaayyy !!

Dwarfy

Today, when Mummy and Daddy were out, when it was almost time for dinner, I remembered that I forgot to feed my hamsters. When I just filled in Dwarfy's bowl, I noticed that she was curled up right beside the bowl. I used the small spoon to rub her back, but nothing happened. So I figured out that she was dead.

I was so sad, even though I never play with her, because she was very shy and didn't let anyone to touch her, not even pet her. Even when I used something to touch her, she would just run away to her hiding spot.

So, I was eager to tell my parents about the bad news when they came home. Since we just lost Snowy, I was very very sad. Now I only have Flora left as my pet. I hope she will stay with us longer.

Snowy

I am very sad. When I woke up from my nap, my mother told me that Snowy has died. I was surprised because when I came home from school, Snowy was fine. It didn't even look weak. But, when my mother was about to feed the hamsters, (I have three) she found out that Snowy didn't react at all and its body was stiff. When I checked it out after dinner, I saw Snowy's body was a bit smaller and more curled up than usual. Its eyes were also closed thighter.

I miss her so much ...
