My Trip To Canada

Hello!!! During the Spring Break, I went to Canada to see my cousins. Today, I will talk about my trip.


Day 1:
The first day, we had to wake up at 9:00 and drive to our cousin's house. Our whole family was coming except my grandma and grandpa. They had to take care of my rabbit Le Le and they also wanted to stay home and relax. My brother, Oliver was coming, My mom was coming. And, my dad was coming.
Our cousins were in Toronto, Canada. It took 6 hours and 30 minutes to get their. We also brought our family's DS, Ipod, and Ipad so we wouldn't get bored. I got carsick after 1 hour on the road.
When we reached to my cousin's house, our cousins were screaming in joy.
Meet Derrick. He is my cousin and he is in 2nd grade.
Meet Angela. She is my cousin and she is in kindergarten.
Then, all of us settled down. Then, dinner came. I wasn't that hungry because I was still carsick so I ate a little of some food. After that, our family gave presents to our cousins. My brother and I gave then Ninjago. I taught them how to play. They loved the toy! Later, all went to sleep.I went to sleep with my cousin Angela because there wasn't any more beds to sleep on.


Day 2:
When I woke up, Angela woke up. Angela started yawning and we were going back to sleep when.............................. Derrick barged into the room laughing and shouting," WAKE UP!!!!!!" This week,they had school because they already had their Spring Break. Then, they started playing.After a while, their mom woke up and told them they had to go to school. Then, my brother woke up.After he woke up, we went downstairs to the kitchen to have breakfast.
After a while, I sent them to the bus. Angela had school later but she wanted to come. After sending Derrick to the bus, our family just rested for an hour.
After that hour, my family packed our car with water bottles because we were going to Lake Ontario! While driving there, we found a zoo with free entrance so we looked at the animals. We saw goats, peacocks, etc. We had a great time! After we were at the zoo, we continued the trip to Lake Ontario.
At Lake Ontario, we saw geese and swans. Also, it was like a beach and I found a "Lucky" rock shaped like a triangle. We also took a lot of pictures. After a hour, we headed back to our cousin's home for dinner.
When we arrived, we started eating. It was delicious! After Dinner, Derrick showed me his lego candy machine. It wasn't actually a lego candy machine. When I went to Canada, I brought it and showed them. They loved it! Then, Derrick did a total fail of making a lego candy machine.Sooo.......................I made him a new one. I built the same one I had for him. He was happy. After building some of the lego candy machine, we went to sleep. I went to sleep with Derrick that night and I HATED Seriously HATED sleeping with him. He sang Justin Bieber songs and banged on the bed. And, the bed was filled with air so he could've banged the air out the bed. He also kicked and made noises. IT was sooo Annoying!


Day 3:
When I woke up, I actually waked up Derrick. I didn't want to do that. He then ran into another bedroom and woke up my brother and Angela. He then punched my brother in the face and said ," WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!!!" while he giggled."HA HA HA!!" Then he started playing around.We also built the lego candy machine. And guess what! I finished it and just got one sarcastic, silly, Thank-You and a 1 dollar! I mean seriously! That's all! I shouldn't have built it for him. * SIGHS*. Then we got breakfast and Derrick went to school.
After a while, my family packed our car again with water bottles because we were going to go to a famous Castle in Toronto. It was called, CASA LOMA. The owner was Sir Henry Pellat. There was secret passages and rooms. It was a great place to visit. I learned a lot. We stayed there for about 3 hours! Then, we went to Chinatown for a chinese restaraunt to eat.( I am a American-Born-Chinese ).
We had a delicious Lunch. After that, we had to go to my mom's friend's house. At their house, they had bleyblades and wii. It was fun to play at their house. After a while at their house, we went to another friends house and there was also about 2 other people coming at their house for a big dinner.
At their house, we had a great dinner and a great time! We played games but then, we watched T.V.. We watched A money show where you can earn money, Man V.S. Wild, and Ghost Hunters ( It was something like that). When we came back to our cousin's house, it was about 11:00. Our cousins were sleeping. Then we brushed our teeth and took a shower and went to bed. This time, I slept with my brother. I was better to sleep that night.


Day 4:
I slept good that night but when I woke up-SILENCE. Then I just layed in bed and then......"AAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Derrick barged in the room and then Angela came in with a polite Hello! Even Angela has more manners then Derrick. I like Angela better and Derrick clearly said that we are annoying! HOW ARE WE ANNOYING! I Made HIM THE LEGO CANDY MACHINE! AND, he was the one who always bothered us! Then Derrick went to School! FINALLY! Then, I went shopping with Angela's mom and dad. Oliver also came. We bought gum, ice cream, noodles, rice, candy, rice cake, potato chips,etc. Then I met my nephew and we went home. Then, we justed rested until dinner. We drove to a fancy Chinese Restaruant. It was delicious. Except....... Derrick. He kicked my brother and I. Screamed in our ears. Licked his plate. Eating without manners. Acting with no manners. And much more! I loved the food and you know......................except Derrick.
After Dinner, we went to sleep. I slept with Angela and Derrick. I didn't like Derrick while sleeping. He shifted in my space every 10 seconds! Then we slept another way. It was better because mainly I had more space and DERRICK was not in my space. Another thing annoying about Derrick is that he asks for something, he gets it.


Day 5:
We woke up at 9:00 and had breakfast. We were leaving I was happy and sad. I was happy so I could see my grandparents and my rabbit, Le Le and get away from Derrick. I was sad because I missed my cousins ( somehow, I missed Derrick! ) and I wanted to stay longer. We packed our bags and left. I was sad. I got carsick on the way too.
When I came home...........I was so happy.



That was My Trip To Canada. What did you do over the Spring Break

Happy Chinese New Year!

As you know, it is Chinese New Year. It is celebrated by Chinese people, Korean people, ect. My family celebrates it because we are also Chinese. Chinese New Year is a celebration that lasts about 2 weeks! If you were in China right now, you would be partying all night and eating yummy food. Also on Chinese New Year, you get red bags filled with money. I got $20!

It is the year of the rabbit as you know. Luckily, I have a rabbit right now.

Happy Chinese New Year everybody!

P.S. I will also be buying a rabbit out of gold in Chinatown for $98 in about 2 weeks!

#8 Review: Spirit Tracks Legend of Zelda Ds

Hello everyone! This will be my 8th review! This one will be about Spirit Tracks Legend of Zelda for the Ds! I love this game! It's so fun!

Plot:
At the beginning, you listen to a story. Then you wake up. You have been asleep during the story. You are a engineer and you have to drive your friend to the castle to get your certificate to show that you are a engineer. Once you get to the castle, you find Zelda, the princess and she gives you the certificate. Then she asks you to come meet her. She says she wants you to go to the Tower of Spirits that recently has been destroyed and now the Demon King has awakened. She wants to explore and find out what's happening. You go to the tower but the tracks start disappearing and the servant of the Demon King defeats Zelda. You go look for her and you find her. She, as a ghost form wants you to regain the tracks and defeat the Demon King. You accept the quest and you go restore the tracks and defeat The Demon King. She comes along with you to help you.

Basics:
It is the best Ds game I ever played! It has a great storyline and everything else. It is not a side-scroller but a 3-d world. It is like real life but funner! It's a great game. There are puzzles, bosses, matches, ect. You can also get coins called ruppies. Spirit Tracks is a fun game. You should buy it!

Graphics:
The Graphics are excellent! You can easily tell what is a platform and what is not. They drew and programmed a variety of enemies. They programmed a lot of puzzles too. Some times, I had to use a walkthrough to get through them. Excellent JOB!

Controls:
The controls are very suitable. The controls are really easy. To walk, you can tap the place you want to go. At first, it will be confusing a bit but once you get further, the controls are easy to manage. They sometimes tell you what to do.

Sounds:
They didn't really put enough music but still, they had a lot of music. You usually can hear you grunting or shouting or hearing your sword swing. Still, excellent job!

The Play:
While playing the game, you might be happy about this game. This game is excellent! There is a lot of puzzles though. Still fun. You get to ride in your train and go on quests and save the world. Very satisfying game!


Rating: 10.1/ 10 The game is so good that I added extra to the rating.I only want is that if they can make it a lot longer because it is so good. The game is long but I want it LONGER because it's so good. Great game! You should buy it!

#7 Review: Mario Kart Ds

Hello! This is my 7th review! This time, it will be about Mario Kart Ds. I hope you enjoy it!

Basics:
This game is a game where you drive around and race and battle. There is missions. You have to go through obstacles in a certain amount of time or defeat a boss. This game is very fun. Everything is good about this game.

Graphics:
Graphics are great! They did a good job programming objects. You can tell if it is a platform and what is not. They did a good job of drawing and programmed everything!

Controls:
The controls are excellent! Even a beginner can say it's kinda easy for the first try! They made the controls perfect!

Sounds:
They programmed the sounds (music) perfectly! It fits right into the level! I say that they did an excellent job!

Multiplayer:
Multiplayer is so fun! You can race or battle. For battle, you can chose balloon battle, or Sunshine Riders (Sorry if I named them wrong). In Sunshine Riders, you have to collect coins and if you get hit, you lose a coin. In balloon battle, you just battle and you have balloons. If you get hit, you lose a balloon but if you have spare, you can blow them up and you have another one!


Rating: 9.7/10 This game was excellent but it could have a lot more maps. Still, great game!


If you want me to review a game, post it in your comment below. If I don't have the game, then I can't review it because I don't know how the game goes and that. Please comment!

Today's question of the week is.................................................

#6 Review: Rachet & Clank 2 Going Commado

Hello! This is my 6th review! Instead of doing the first one for Rachet & Clank, I'm doing the second! Enjoy!

Plot:
Every game has a plot. (Sorry if I didn't include the plot for some of my reviews). This plot will be different than the first game in the Rachet & Clank Series. So you (Rachet) and Clank have a meeting with a guy name Mr. Fidgewiggit.(sorry if I didn't spell his name right) He asks you to save his galaxy. Rachet and Clank agrees. They go on a whole new mission to save another galaxy.

Basics:
The game is just like the old game but only awesomer. You get a whole new level of a epic weapons. It is like a 3-d world. You feel like you are Rachet and his buddy, Clank.

Graphics:
The game is just like the old game's graphics but better. The graphics are just a bit better. Still, great graphics.

Sounds:
Same as the old game. There is barely sounds (music) except your gunfire. It can be improved.


Rating: 9.6/10 The game is awesome and has better weapons and graphics but it still has the same problem-Barely and sounds and music. Still great game!

#4 Review: New Super Mario Bros Ds

Hello Everybody! Today, I will be review New Super Mario Bros Ds instead of the Wii version. If you want to see my review of New Super Mario Bros Wii, Click here!

Basics:
This game is like the wii version but I think the ds version is easier. The game was released May 15, 2006. It is a side-scroller game and has the same plot as the wii version.It is to save Princess Peach.In the ds version, it has different power ups than the wii version.

Graphics:
The graphics are excellent for the game.You can see what is not a platform and what is. Very well drawn and programmed.

Controls:
The controls are great but I think they can be improved. When you first play, the controls will be hard but once you get farther in the game, you better get use to the controls. Some levels are hard and acquired some skill. For some power ups such as the Koppa Shell will be hard to manage but it is a good power up.

Sounds:
The sounds are excellent. They fit perfectly with levels. They did a good job with the sounds.


My rating: 8.7/10 The game is fun and well made but can be better. The controls can be better. The boss fights with Bowser Jr. are to easy and will be a lot harder further in the game. Great game.

#3 Review: New Super Mario Bros Wii

Hello!Nice to see you again. This will be my third review. It will be about New Super Mario Bros Wii . I hope you enjoy!

Basics:
This game is a popular wii game (that's my opinion) when first released on November 20, 2009. It is a fun side-scroller game. Some levels can be frustrating for some people but it's a great game.'

Graphics:
The graphics are good for this game. The objects are well drawn and programed. You can easily tell what is a platform and what is not a platform. Excellent graphics is my opinion.

Controls:
The controls are easy to manage but it will be hard and frustrating for some beginners. You have to turn the wii remote sideways. Once you get better at the controls, it' easy to play the game. Good graphics is my opinion.

Sounds:
The sounds (music) is excellent. If there is a spooky level (such as the boo house) it will put on scary music. The music fits perfectly with levels.Great music!

Multiplayer:
You can play with 4 players! You can have your friends over to play with you. I say playing with three other people is kinda confusing. You can keep on bumping into each other. It's kinda annoying. You can play multiplayer for Free-For-All. All you do is just compete and play together. For Coin Battle, you battle for the most coins. At the end of the level, they count your coins and then see who one. I love playing multiplayer!

Rating: 9.0/10 This game is good but could be improved. It is still a good game.

I hope you enjoyed this review!

#2 Review: Black Ops. Xbox360

Hello!Nice to see you again! This is my second review. This review will be for the game Black Ops. for the Xbox360.I hope you enjoy!

Basics:
This game is a excellent first-person shooter game. Everything is satisfying about this game. The controls, graphics, ect. are epic.

Graphics:
The graphics are awesome. You look like real people. Even the weapons look great. Everything looks great. If you get hit, there will be a drop a blood on the screen to show you that you are dieing. If the person kills you, the screen blurs to white. For multiplayer, you can see how you got killed by the enemy's point of view. Awesome graphics.

Controls:
The controls are easy to manage. If you are a beginner, don't worry.The controls are easy. They sometimes say what to press to do the activity. You might agree with me that the controls are easy.

Sounds:
The sounds are good too. You can hear people shouting. You can tell that there is a player following you because they programmed it to hear who's following you. You can hear distant helicopters and vehicles. There is no music sadly but there is a ton of gunfire.

Multiplayer:
They did an excellent job for the multiplayer. You can do combat training. It will be like playing with real player. If you want to play real players, it's awesome. You really need to be careful when playing with real players. Before the match starts, you get to change your class for your weapon and vote for a map to play on. It is great.

My only thing that I should warn you is that there is bad words. Ask your parents if you can get this game because they will tell you if it's okay.

My rating: 9.7/10 The game is great but I think it could be improved a little bit more. Still, it's a great game.

#1 Review: Runescape

This will be my very first review for this blog. I chose Runescape.I chose Runescape for a reason.Here are the reasons:

Basics:
The game is free to play.If you want to be a member, I think you have pay $4.85 each month. There is no download but you have to trust Jagex, the creator. You should ask your parents first before you trust Jagex. It will not give any viruses. You should trust Jagex.

Graphics and Sounds:
The graphics and sounds are wonderful! If you put the graphics to custom (the best one) the game would look great! If you put it to low (the worst one) it will still look good.
The sound is excellent! If you go to somewhere new, you will unlock a new song! The songs are great! You can also listen to a musician and they will play you some soothing music.

Quests:
The quest are great!Some of them, you need a walkthrough. Some are easy such as one quest, you just have to sheer sheep and turn it into wool!Some quests are for non-members and members. Some are only for members. Member quests are hard but non-member ones are easy but some of the non-member quests can be hard. For instance: Dragon Slayer is one of the most hardest non-members quests.

The Controls:
The controls are easy to manage. To walk, click where you want to go. To look around., move the arrowkeys.To talk, click on a person. It is very easy.

The Play:
When playing to game, it is very fun! You go around the world doing quests and playing games. There is a tutorial. I prefer the tutorial for starters. The tutorial is fun! You help a knight slay a dragon.I know it sounds hard but it is easy. During the game, you can trade with other players. Runescape is a great game!

My rating: 8.5/10 stars for non-members. This doesn't mean it is not fun for the non-members.It is that you can not play and have the member features.It is still fun!

10/10 for members because they have a lot more special features than non-members.

There is a website that pays for your membership called triond. You write anything you want and if a person reads it, you get money. Click here if you want to go to Triond!(I think you first have to get a Runescape account.

If you are having trouble doing quests and what to do go, I recommend Runescape Wiki and Sals Realm of Runescape. Click here if you want to go to Runescape Wiki! Click here is you want to go to Sals Realm of Runescape!
