Ummi was late picking me up today. well, about 5 min late really. When I saw her, I flew straight to her. I wanted to tell her that I have scored the same good marks as Donovan, my smart classmate. You see, Donovan is really clever. He always gets almost perfect scores & I cannot help but compare myself to him. So today, I found out that Donovan & I are among the highest in class for our written english exams paper - 49.5/55. Now I must wait for the rest of the marks for a combined overall to see if I can beat Donovan this time. I thought I would get my Maths exams results today too but I guess it will be tomorrow or Wednesday.
My classmate from Myanmar, Khant Min, told me that his grandmother passed away in Myanmar as a result of the big storm. It is so sad. I feel really lucky to live in Singapore & hope that Khant Min would have a good life here too. During recess, I did not eat anything as Ummi told me too, instead I spend my time talking to Donovan about Ironman. Very exciting. And when school ended, I was really, really hungry.
