The trip to Osaka

Last summer my family and I went to Osaka, Japan. I was very unhappy because my sisters went shopping whole day without caring me. I had expected that there was something that I could do. Instead, I played my Play Station Portable.
I thought that this could not be worse, but I was wrong. I contracted a disease called Mononucleosis. At first, my mother was worried sick, and was wondering if I had cancer or not. I didn't know what I contracted nor did I know why mum was panicking.
Then my father searched on the Internet and found out the disease was not cancer. Two days later, I felt extremely weak and a got a painful swell in the neck. I hated the feeling.
My birthday came, and I was still in Osaka and was very sick. I felt dreadful, so I cried out in the hotel room. I just couldn't believe what was happening. So did my mother.
After I got back to Hong Kong, I was taken to see the doctor the next day. He said I contracted glandular fever(Mononucleosis). He then gave me some ultra large pills to take.
I now know I am very fortunate when I am not sick. Sickness is something which no one can avoid. It comes when it likes. I should not take being healthy for granted. I thank God for letting me experience the nice part of my life. I have learnt to appreciate what I have and what I am.

Chinese New Year

This Chinese New Year was a very exciting time for me. As I visited relatives and friends, I got lots of red packets. This year, I have received 280 dollars.
I went to Elements with my family to have lunch. There were candies all over the shopping mall. So, I grabbed as much as I could. When we walked into the restaurant, I saw even more marvelous candies. I wanted to grab, but there were few candies left, so I only took three.
Inside the restaurant, we ordered a hot pot and other foods to eat. The food was yummy. We came back home with a full belly, and all I could think of were castles in the air.
