My goals

"All of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there." -Anonymous

My three goals that I have for myself in school are reading a book every two weeks, getting out from ESL until end of the trimester 3 and participating sport activity. I think reading a book is very important and eligible work to everyone. I shall make a plan for reading a book every night. I promise that I shall read the book over 8 pages. If my reading is improved, I will read a book every one week. And I want to get out from ESL as quickly as I can. I will try to achieve this goal by trimester 3. Every day, I am going to memorize vocabulary and try to write an essay with different topics. I will do my homework as good as I can. Last goal is participating sport activity. I like to do sports but yet, I didn't chose about sport activity. I had chosen only music activity. I think it isn't good idea. Because participating for every thing is very good experience for me. I will try my best to reach my goals!

And here is my other three goals that I have for myself outside of school! Those are going to a good university, swim quickly as possible as I can and going to USA again. Recently, I want to go to a good university. I think this is very essential thing in my life. Going to a good university is also connected with study. I will study hard every part of the subject especially, my favorite sucject. Next goal is swimming quickly. I think this is the easiest goal. I will practice every day if I have a free time. Last goal is going to USA again. In Korea, few of my friends are preparing action to participate contest. They said that they would give me an opportunity to participate that contest. I have decided to learn English harder!!!

About me!

Hello I'm pretty girl. Oh sorry I was joking. I will introduce about my extremely interesting life. My name is Ji Hyun Ahn but everyone calls me Michelle. I was born in 1996, May 27th in South Korea. I'm thirteen years old. I came to Malaysia in December.

There are four people in my family, father, mother, younger sister and I. My father is working for the Samsung Company. He always teaches me English. My mother does not work so she stays at home to help my sister and me. Sometimes my mother and I go to shopping. My younger sister is 7 years old. She went school either. I love my family.

My hobby is dancing because when I was young, I did ballet and Korea dance so I went to the Japan to perform. I love dancing. When I was dancing I feel very good and excitement. My other hobby is acting. At first, I didn't like acting but when I was twelve years old, I participated in Di acting contest in USA. From that reason, I started to interest about acting.

My special ability is playing the flute. Since when I was eleven years old, I started playing flute. I really enjoy playing flute. The flute's sound is very beautiful. I need to improve more than now.

I like to read the Roald Dahl's books. His books are pretty interesting and magically. It can improve my brain is more creative than before. I like Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and Chocolate Factory'

What a nice spring break!

What a nice spring break!

April 26, 2009

Spring break was really enjoyable and exciting. Although it was short, it was one of the best breaks in my life. I could rest pretty well during this break.

On the eve of the holiday, when the bell rang, I rushed home as quickly as I could. I wanted to finish all my homework quickly because my aunt and grandmother were coming to visit us in Malaysia. Before they arrived, my parents and I discussed plans to take them around Malaysia. We wanted to make their stay, as enjoyable as possible. I couldn’t control my feelings. (The plan was just wonderful!!!) After discussing the plans, we went to the airport to fetch my grandmother. We were so happy and excited to see her. (Grandmother is getting shorter than me.) Then, we went to the airport to meet my aunt and her family. They came from East Timor. However we lost our way and wandered around the highway. Finally, we found the airport and returned home with my grandmother and aunt’s family.

My aunt told us that East Timor is very hot and it is a backward country, not as developed as Malaysia. There are not any Korean grocery shops or Korean restaurants. I really feel sorry for my aunt because she is not able to buy delicious Korean dishes. Imagine if we did not have any Korean shop or restaurants. NO!!! However the coffee from East Timor is very popular. Aunt brought many packets of coffee for us. The next morning we all had coffee for breakfast. It tasted pretty good. Until today we are still drinking that coffee.

Also, my aunt has one daughter. Her name is Yun Sol, but we call her ‘Sol’. She is very cute!!! She is only two years old but very talkative. She is such a lovely girl. BUT!!! When I saw her long messy hair, I thought she was a jungle girl! She looked so much better after cutting her hair that afternoon.

On Monday, we all woke up at the break of dawn, got dressed and left for Genting Highlands in two cars. Hurrah! This place is a mountain resort and there are a few interesting activities for children and a casino for adults. Unfortunately when we arrived at Avana (Gate of Genting Highlands), the cable cars were not working. As a result, we had to drive up the mountain. It was steep and we were all very tense.

In no time we were at the top. What a great mountain resort! I haven’t seen resort like this before. The place was misty and the clouds were so low. It was a very striking scene. By midday we were so hungry. We went to Pizza Hut and ate pizza. It was so salty. (But I think it was better than the pizza in Kota Kinabalu.) Then we rode on some roller coasters. It was so thrilling. My cousin doesn’t know fear because she is still young. When we saw a man sitting with a huge snake, she ran to him and touch the snake. Even she grabbed its head!!! OH MY GOD!!! I was so scared. Anyway, we enjoyed the whole day in Genting Highlands and we came home feeling dead tired. We kicked off out shoes and slept immediately.

The next few days were spent shopping. It is a normal thing in my life, but my aunt needed to do some shopping. We went to KLCC, Mega Mall and Tesco. My grandmother took care of my younger sister and cousin at home so my mother and aunt could to their shopping calmly. On the last day we all stayed at home and talked. After a long time, we had gathered as a whole family. We had so much to talk about. I missed my grandfather and my other uncle who couldn’t come to Malaysia. Grandmother cooked some delicious Korean dishes that day. After dinner we went to the airport to send grandmother, aunt and her family. Saying goodbye was really sad.

We had a great time during the spring break. I will remember this wonderful spring break for a long time. Bye spring break!!!
