Today, I went to Mid Valley to a movie called, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"

The movie was made by the world famous Disney. It stars a familiar face as the Sorcerer, Nicholas Cage.

The story revolves around a boy who actually is a heir to the blood of Merlin, the great wizard of Camelot.

It starts when the main character, David, is 10 years old. He ends up finding himself in a shop were he meets a man who gave him a ring that will help him to destroy a future threat for mankind, Morgana.

You will have to watch the rest of the movie to get the full story.

I liked the movie as it had great special effects. An example of that would be that the characters are always conjuring and hurling greatly animated lightning bolts at each other.

This movie blends Science with Magic. I learned a bit of physics from the movie. Molecules need to vibrate to become combustive. That is one of the ways to do the magic. As the sorcerers can move the molecules so that the molecules can do anything illogical by human standards such as the classic thing with Disney's Fantasia, bringing mops to life!

This movie will be good for all ages, young or old. I hope many will enjoy it!
Last night was a very fun night! There was a dinner and auction function held by Kechara.

It started with a loving speech by Datuk May Phng. Followed by the Lucky Draw. I do not know who won but I think it was Uncle David.

After that, the dinner was being served. During the dinner there were performances of Swank Legs and Wannabe Girls. They are such funny drags. Actually, they show no fear nor embarrassment during the show. That is quite Dharmic. It is to reveal your inner self, your inner girl!

They worked really hard!


Something embarrassing happened to me last night. As I was about to go back to my table to get some food. I found out I was at the wrong table. I was literally glowing red. HAHA!
I have discovered a sport that is really fun to play. The sport is golf.Uncle Martin taught me the basics of golf. Uncle Martin is very kind as he bought all the equipment. He took a lot of time out of his usually busy schedule to spend time for me as Mama can't spend that much time with me. I am very happy for him to keep me company and I really like the outings.

Golf is very Buddhist as you have to learn discipline and focus.Just like Buddhism, when we have the tools ( the Lam Rim), we must have a teacher then it is our choice to pick what we want to do to with it. To play golf, you need to practice a lot or else you will not get good at it.

On the first day of our outings, we went to MST golf shop. He showed me the basics of golf there. He showed me how to hold the club. The way he taught me to hold the club was the Interlock Grip. Over the next few days, I found out that it was the same grip that the famous golfer Tiger Woods uses.

The next day of our outings, We went to the driving range. There I saw some kids who are so much younger than me, they look like professionals. Uncle Martin told me that people at any age can join this fun sport of golf. It just requires the right discipline.

After I whacked a few balls, a professional coach came up to teach me how to hit using a nine iron. He told me the correct positions. He laid some powder on the ground and told me to hit it. It was actually quite hard to hit it at first but I managed to do it later.

After the coach was done, Uncle Martin taught me another trick in golfing. We should keep our eyes on the ball but do not follow it as it lifts off.

As the day ended, we went to the Boathouse Restaurant. I some pasta. After I ate, I went upstairs to play snooker with some Australian teachers that teach part-time in Gardens School.
As we were about to play a game of Pictionary, Mama called me to go home.

Today, My neighbor, Uncle Daniel and I went to the Sunway Lagoon Amusement park. We went to water park. First we went to the wave pool. Then, we went to Surf Beach. There were no waves at Surf Beach, so there were no surfers.

I also conquered my fears of tall and dark water slides today. I went into a water slide with Uncle Daniel. I was screaming the whole way but it was fun. I really want to thank him also for his kindness as he left an 8 month pregnant lady at home just for me. I hope he will take care of Aunty Erin well.

I wish that Uncle Martin, Uncle Daniel and Aunty Erin can have a nice, long and joyful life.
Lately, I have not been writing, sorry about that...

Firstly, I have been commenting on the blog of His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's blog. The URL is here:

blog.tsemtulku.com

I hope many people will visit it as it has many interesting articles related to Dharma, Buddhas and also UFOs! Isn't that insanely cool? When people have free time, they should go to his blog. I like the articles on Rinpoche's pet dog named Yogi a.k.a Mumu and Oser, the new addition to the Tsem Ladrang family. These cute little doggies are the first few steps for the Kechara Animal Sanctuary to manifest so that they can help many other little animals.

I think I done around 80 comments that are over a hundred words. I written over a hundred words to show that I actually read the post rather than comment on it for no reason whatsoever.

Well, as the school holidays were over for a long time already, I had a did not really have a lot of time to do all this but I still wanted to do it because I knew it was absolutely the right thing to do!

My Exams have passed already, only a few grades came back, some were not exactly pleasing for me. I will write them below:

Chinese: 37%
Chinese Geography: 55% Improved by: 27%
Math: 65% Improved by 9.5%
Science: 70.5%
Chemistry: 70%

I will update the rest sooner or later.
I have to study for the whole week for my exams next week but I still done some interesting stuff after I came back from down under.

I went to my friend's friend's party. There were no official reasons for the party. So I guess it is my first "teen" party. There was pizza but I did not eat them as it was to little so i let everyone eat.

I was also interviewed for the Star Online TV. I hope many people will give good ratings :) It was about KSK. I talked about how the people on the streets need help.

I gave a big chocolate KISSES to my tuition teacher. She was quite happy. Mama told me that everyone likes gifts.

I like lobster bisque ( just something random haha)
This morning, I came back from Australia. It was a very good experience as I went to a place I have not explored before, Perth.


After the 5 hour AirAsiaX flight, we arrived in Perth airport. I had a tasty sandwich. I watched the Flinstones ( a show I never watched in a super long time ) and the original, old, unanimated version of Thunderbirds ( I never heard of that show before ).

Approximately 30 minutes later, Ah Kong and Uncle Kenny picked me and Mama up. In the end, we did not get any sleep other than the sleep on the plane.

Later, Uncle Kenny took me out to the Perth Aquarium. There were so many fishes. I took many pictures as I lent Uncle Kenny's high-tech camera. After that, I pet the fish in the touch pool. One poor little stingray had its eyes poked out by some touchy kids.

Tayatha Om Beckanze Beckanze Maha Beckanze Beckanze Ranza Samughate Soha.

Anyone can chant that to bless the poor fishes or in general, all animals.

At the Souvenir Shop, I bought a gold coin with a shark picture on it.

The next activity was to go to a brewery called Little Creatures.

We also went to the Maritime museum. Did you know that the Australia II won the America cup because it had a special keel. I also played a rowing game.
, i thought I was quite good at it .

After dropping, Aunty Stephanie, Ah Kong and Mama at a home show, Uncle Kenny and I went to the Perth Zoo. I took many pictures of the cool animals but due to the short amount of time. We could not explore the whole zoo so we can't see really native Australian animals.

I could just summarize my activities in Perth because I just can't write it out. The only way to know would be to experience it yourself.

Today, I woke up moderately late so I felt so refreshed.

At 2.00 p.m., Mama, Aunty Susan and I left to Kechara Oasis for the 2nd Kecharians Gathering that had updates on the new Gompa that might be completed by September to October.

After that, Aunty Ruby told us about Lati Rinpoche's funeral. If Lati Rinpoche did not meet Rinpoche, there will be no Kechara as Lati Rinpoche was the person that told Rinpoche to come to Malaysia. It was a very emotional talk as Aunty Ruby was actually shedding a tear or two.

After the Gathering, Teacher Ling took me out to watch Prince of Persia. I learned some morals. One of them is that people should let go of certain loved ones. Even the closes ones to you might back stab you but do not hurt them.

The effects were very good. Just watching this movie is making me hooked up with the video game.

I hope that one day, video games like Tekken or anime like Bleach or Naruto deserve a shot in hollywood one day.
