What I did in the holiday.

The school hols are almost over. I have done many things in the holidays. In this blog I will tell you what I done in the holidays.

First, I had my school tuition. It was from the 23 of November to the 8 of December. It was really boring. But luckily my friends attended the tuition too, so I had company.

Just after the tuition, I went to Genting Highlands to compete in an ICT competition. Though I didn't win, I had a great time there. It was a interesting experience.

Not long after the ICT competition, I attended my Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS). It lasted three days. I had a fun time there. I made a nice ladle and won a prize for the best made ladle.

Finally, I celebrated my birthday on the 23rd of December. I invited many friends to my place and had a really, really good time.

This is all I have to say, so good bye for now.

Shell Collection

It's me again, this time I'm going to tell you about my shell collection.
I have about 20 types of shells, including some cockle shell, 2 sundial shells, a cone shell and more. In total I have 46 shells.
My shell collection started when I was in Sabah. I was eating escargot (snails), and I thought "Hey why don't I bring some home." So I packed the shells in a piece of tissue and brought them home.
Usually I get my shells by buying them, but some times I get them by eating snails at seafood restaurants.
I got shells that are big and small. I even have shells made of Rose Quartz. I also have some made into a sculpture.
That's about all I can tell you for now so bye.

Stamp collecting

Collecting stamps is a great way to "Look" through the past. It is also a great hobby. Here's how I started my collection.

1. I purchased stamps from post-offices and from stamp dealers.


2. I also get stamps from friends and family. I get the stamps off envelopes by submerging them under water for about 15 minutes. Some stamps are more valuable with the envelope because of its post marks.


3. I have bought stamps in a big batches where the dealers measure and sell the stamps by weight. These type of stamps usually aren't valuable, but some times I do get a "sleeper".


4. I bought the best stamp album affordable. Because cheap stamp albums aren't always good.

A "sleeper" is a very valuable stamp in a big batch of non-valuable stamps. Some "sleepers" are worth a lot of money. I sort my stamps by countries, date, type or topic. I sort stamps by:

• Animals


• Technology


• Scenery


• Education


• Insects


• Birds


• History


• Aquatic animals


• Aquatic plants


• Fish


• People


• Monuments


• Plants


• etc

Well, here's about all I have to tell you. Until the next time.

about me

My name is Mark Lee. I live in Selangor, Malaysia. I like to collect stamps. I have an irritating brother, who is 7 years-old. Yesterday I went to the hot spring in Sungai Klah, Perak. The water there separated by temperature and not depth, and it was splendid.

I go to a Chinese school. We have TONS OF HOME WORK. Every day I don't even have enough time to breath. I always wondered why the teachers there give so much homework. Maybe it is because the more homework they give, the more money they earn. HA HA HA Just kiding. So I suggest you don't go to a Chinese school.

Until next time bye.
