This Saturday, the 15th of June 2013, I will be following my father to Yokohama, Japan together with my mother and elder brother. I am so excited to see the Yokohama city. But on the other hand, I am sad to leave my hometown, Shah Alam, my cousins and my country, Malaysia. City of Yokohama. Back : Mount of Fuji                                                                                                                                                                                                   Due to my father's involvement in project work, he has been transferred to Yokohama, Japan. My father is working for an oil and gas company. His job is based on project assignments and needs to be out of the country when needed. Before this assignment, we were staying in Milan, Italy for about 8 months. We will be staying at Yokohama, Japan for about a year.  My father has registered my brother and I to an international school in Yokohama namely Yokohama International

On the 25th of May 2013,my family and my cousins went to Pangkor Island,Perak.We  stayed at Pangkor Bay View Resort at Teluk Nipah. We spent 3 days and 2 nights at the resort. The waves were high and the days were hot but windy. Map of Pangkor Island in Perak, Malaysia. We played at the beach at Teluk Nipah, Pangkor Island. My cousins and I spent most of our daytime swimming and playing in the swimming pool.     We went for snorkeling on the second day of vacation but unfortunately, there was no fish due to the rough wave and cloudy sea water. There are a lot of  local people selling food and drinks. There are also a lot of people selling clothes and souvenirs along the beach. My mom bought me a few beach shirts and shorts for me and my brother. Overall, I really enjoyed my vacation to Pangkor Island.

Last month, I learned about volcanoes. I made a volcano. It was fun and interesting! You need: - a plastic bottle - a cardboard platform - newspaper - glue - water - dish soap - food coloring - baking soda - vinegar First, make the paper mache volcano using the plastic bottle,cardboard platform, newspaper,glue and water. Let it dry for a week.  Second, after it dries, paint your volcano (choose any color you want). Use acrylic paint for best result. Finally, once it's ready, you need  dish soap, food coloring,   baking soda and  vinegar to make your  volcano to erupt. This is how my volcano looks like!!!
