“The latest instalment in this popular series, written in an appealing diary format. It introduces uniquely Singaporean sights and sounds like the Kopi lingo used at coffeeshops…” “It has delightful local flavour, humour, sketches and even unwanted comments from Mom (who corrects his spelling, of course) and Dad. “From school to market, everything is familiar but fresher from a precocious child’s point of view, and the illustrations are quirky and cute. Plus, I had to deal with an EVIL bully who was tormenting me at school…thank goodness for my best friends, Alvin and Anthony, we rallied against the bully and got through the year with lots of adventures and good fun! My entries started with the boring old stuff…then Mum got this new job as a writer and, following her around, I got to do fun stuff, like ogle at deformed frogs, see into the future with a fortune-telling parrot and wow at a life-sized F1 car made of chocolate! That’s how I got more interesting things to write about. “I don’t want you to develop piles!” And so my writing in the bathroom began. She told me to write when I am doing my big business. This diary began as Mum’s New Year’s resolution to get me to write. Winner, Red Dot Book Awards 2009-2010, Junior Category
