XMAS AND BDAY
this is a little late but i dont have anything much to write. firstly,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JODIE CHEONG YIMEI
havent get anything for her yet but i will get her something. anyway, merry christmas to all of you. i know i am 3 days late but then again, i got nothing to write. last year (2007) i wrote a xmas poem and sent it all to my closest friends and family and this year i did the same again. you guys might have already read it but for those who didnt get it:
As the needle strike,
Number twelve,
Santa will take off,
And bless by the elves,
Rudolph nose will glow,
As he prepares for another trip,
While Forst the Snowman,
Had a good night sleep,
Chirstmas angels,
Do their blesses,
While Christmas ghost,
Haunts greedy people houses,
Before the eve,
Take off and soar,
Merry Christmas,
From my family to yours.
nothing much as i bet ryan can do better. anyway, i read finish my new book 39 clues and i just have to say that is one of the few books i find very good to read. i never tried twilight before which everyone says is the next harry potter so is not in my list, yet. other books which i consider good would be harry potter, holes and the conch. other books i rated okey would be the one sheng and the rest got for me, pawn of prophecy, hardy boys and quite a number. while those i find it every boring would be eragon. i know is famous but is just darn boring.
the 39 clues is like amazing race to me. is about 7 teams have to race to find a mysterious treasure of the cahill family. amy and dan cahill are from one of the most influencial family in histroy, the cahills. according to the book, many famous people were cahill including abraham lincoln, thomas edison and alot more. so when grace cahill, the most important cahill and also amy and dan's grandmother, died, she left a will to her lawyer, McIntyre. mcintyre said that only 40 ppl were selected by grace to hear her will. amy and dan were among the 40 and even their grandauntie was too (amy and dan had no parent and lived under their selfish grandauntie who was forced to take care of them due to respect for her sister, grace).
when they read grace cahill will, she said that she has an important mission for her familys which is to find the 39 puzzles in a form of 39 clues which will locate them to the cahill's treasure. many risk will involve was also stated. if they choose to leave this task, they will be rewarded with 1 million dolar cheque placed under each of their chairs. if they decided to take the challenge and find out the cahill's treasure and learn mroe about the cahill history, the will passed their cheque to mcintyre, and he will burnt it infront of their face. most people take the money including amy and dan's grandauntie. she even persuaded the two to take the money if not she will disown them. amy and dan new clearly that their grandauntie will just take their 2 million dollars away so they opted for the race.
other competitors were, the Starlings triplets (Ned, Ted and Sinead). they were reach and smart brats. the book didnt talk much about them but did show that ned and ted were the muscles while sinead was the brain.
jonas wizard and his african father was also another competitor. jonas is a rich famous actor and his father is his manager. jonas is a self obssesed boy and will pay anything to get what he want. he even wanted to tape the race as a great show for more publicity.
british brother and sister, ian and natalie kobra were dan and amy's worst enemy and probably everyone else as well. they were rich and evil. despite being young, they knew all sorts of weapons and poisons. they were both good pretender and with their charming looks, nobody doubt them to be dangerous, except the other competitors. they also make threat alliances. amy constantly got jealous on natalie's beauty and goes blush when ian is around.
irina spasky was once a russian soldier who was tough, serious, and a poison lover. her main weapon in the book was that she owns poisonous needle hidden in her nails, like a cat. irina also mastered in traps and the only people she afraid of was the kobras.
the only asian competitor was old korean uncle alistair oh. he is old but smart. he is jolly and happy but still a threat and holds many mystery. his best plan is to form alliances with anyone he knew. he was also the only two to form alliance with dan and amy (jonas was the other one, the rest think them as a threat as they were grace cahill's favs)
finally the big sized holt family. five of them include father eisenhower, mother marry-tod, brother hamilton and sisters madison and reagan. oh ya, they had a bull dog too arnold. these family were dumb and focused their strength on their strength. the whole family are strong and ready for a fist fight anytime.
dan and amy cahill are the weakest and the one in most danger. not only did all teams suspected that they have insider information, they were the youngest and same age as the kobras. all they got is their brains. amy is the smart one who loves to read. she reads alot and although she dont like computers, she can still easily find what she want in the internet. she is the main brain in the team. dan is the normally weird brother who loves gross stuff and you know. like most annoying brother in the show. however, dan had a skill with puzzles and invention. any puzzle will easily be solved by dan. he also had good phtographic memory. their babysitter or au pair, nellie followed them. she supplied them with daily gadgets that become handy like her keychain, ipod and a few more.
anyway, book one only resolves around clue one finding clue two. the venue was in paris where they learn about benjamin franklin, another cahill. then yada yada yada then the end. nothing to say d. lol.
ps: sprry about the colours. my paragraphs not working very well again.
