War in Palestine

Mak loves to watch the Al-Jazeera news. The other day, I saw her crying when she was watching the news.

I asked her why she was crying. She said she is sad because in Palestine, innocent children are killed because the Israelis are bombing them. 

I asked her why the Israelis are bombing the Palestine people. She said because Israel wants to claim some of the Palestine land. 

I saw the pictures of one man carrying a dead child in his arms. Everywhere people were crying. I saw Mak cry too. Mak said, we are all lucky because our country is not at war. Mak said we are lucky because we can still play in the evening because those children in Palestine cannot go out and play. If they go out, the Israelis will shoot them. 

She also said I am lucky because I still have food and water. The people in Palestine have not much of those things. The Israelis have stopped even medical supplies from being sent to Palestine. Mak said children who are hurt in the bombing and fighting cannot be treated properly.

Mak asked us all to pray to Allah and thank Allah that we are all still save in Malaysia. She asked us to pray to Allah to protect the children in Pakistan.

I hope the children in Palestine will be safe in their country. I hope the Israelis will stop bombing them. Please do not fight anymore because it is not good. 

Back to school

School holidays is over. I went back to school on Monday 5th January 2009. Yeay! My friends, Edward, Bob, Shafriz, Aidan and Nicholas. We are now in Standard 2-2. We are now one year older. I saw everyone else also. Everyone were busy talking to each other telling everyone about what they did during the school holidays. I told everyone that I went to Jakarta during the holidays (I will tell you about my Jakarta trip later).

Mak sent me to school today. I got new school uniform on. Mak had wrapped all my new school books in plastic wrapping. But I have no new bag. Mak said I cannot buy one because my bag is still in good condition. She said she will buy me one only when my Spiderman bag is spoiled. I actually want a new bag but it's okay. Maybe Mak got no money to buy me a new one.  I heard her tell Ayman, my sister, yesterday that she has no money to buy her the shoes she wanted. I think I should ask Bapak to buy me the BEN 10 bag when we go shopping in Subang Parade.

Last night Mak was so angry with me because I lost my school name tag. She said it would cost her money to buy me a new name tag. And it will also be difficult because then she cannot put money in it for me to buy food during break or lunch. I am sorry Mak.

When I got into class, I saw that my class teacher is Puan Noorimah. She was my class teacher last year. I like her very much. She makes nice Nasi Lemak and sambal tumis.

There are 5 new students in my class. One of them is a girl who used to stay in London. Her name is Amelia. She is quite pretty but she does not know how to speak in Malay. Maybe that's because she stayed too long in London. I think I want to teach her how to speak good Malay.

In the car, on the way to school, I told Mak that I am going to study hard this year. She said it was wonderful because then I will be a clever boy. I want to be a clever boy so that I can be a Petroleum Engineer like Bapak.

I hope to have a wonderful school year this year. Wish me luck!

Hello world ... here I come

Hello!

My name is Imran. I am 7 years old. I am a Manchester United fan and my favorite player is Christiano Ronaldo. I love playing football in the evening after school. When I grow up I want to be better than Ronaldo.

I love my brothers and sisters. I am number 5 in the family. I will tell you about them later.

I also love to eat. My favorite is rice. Any kinds of rice as long as it is tasty. 

My mother set up this blog for me so I can share with everyone my photos and my walkabouts that I see with my two beady eyes.

Have fun reading!
