Mr Hamilton Read this (part 5 of 5)

Here's the last graded post:)

Anyway yesterday was Sean's birthday. We went out to celebrate his birthday by watching a movie. Immediately after school, we went to his house to put our bags down and change. We walked to MacDonald's for a sumptuous meal. When at Mac, Han Wei got a 'discount'. Instead of paying the correct $5.50 for his meal, he only paid $5! So lucky.

We took bus 36 to suntec city, and rushed to the cinema there.much to our dismay, the movie had already started. We then tried our luck and rushed to marina square. To our horror, the movie timing was way, way before! Whoa, we were so unlucky:( In the end, we rushed( OK this time not so rush) back to suntec city to kill time. When we finally realised the time, the next movie was about to start! Seriously, this was going to be the third time we were running the long distance of one end of suntec city to the other end of marina square!

Fortunately, we made it in time(although Han Wei was panting like crazy). By the time we entered the theater, it was still the last advertisement so we didn't miss any of the movie:)
The movie we watched was The Tooth Fairy. It is a pretty nice movie, with good meanings. For example, it teaches us to dream and set goals. If we don't aim high, we will never be able to accomplish anything great. This is a story about setting goals.

A lecturer prepared a test for his students. The test questions were divided into 3 categories, and the students were instructed to choose questions from only one of the categories. The first category of questions was the hardest and was worth 100 points.The second, which was easier, was worth 75 points. The third, the simplest, was 50 points. Upon completion of the test, students who had chosen the hardest 100-point questions were given As. The students who chose the 70-point questions received Bs. Those who settled for the easiest questions were given Cs. The students were frustrated with the grading of their papers and asked the lecturer what he was looking for. The lecturer, smiled, and explained, "I wasn't testing your book knowledge. I was testing your aim.

This story, just like the movie, teaches us to dream big and aim high.

OK, I'll end here now.

Bye:)
