Wow! That is so cool! I absolutely love Roald Dahl, Ann M. Martin, Judy Blume and many others.

I have never ever played a trumpet before. [well, only a toy one when i was younger but that doesn't count =)] But I play the violin though!
I'm currently in Grade 7 of the ABRSM for piano. Is there a grading system for you there in USA?

Yeah...I swim but I don't like competing. Too much pressure! I loooooove drawing those cute little anime creatures (called 'manga' or something like that) and I write occasionally too!

I guess you're still having your sch term huh? What time do you normally go to school? I have to get up everyday @ abt 5:50am in the morning to catch the school bus. My school is about a 10 min drive away from my home.

i agree, we have lots in common.
I thought of posting this as a comment, but I guess like Mindy said, it'll be harder 2 read that way.

p.s. I'll be away on holiday from tomorrow for about 8 days to Thailand so it seems that you won't be hearing from me for awhile unless I can get hold of a computer there. thnx!Anyway if we don't get to correspond for these 8 days, I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year!
