This diary began as Mum’s New Year’s resolution to get me to write. She told me to write when I am doing my big business. “Five to eight minutes max!” she said. “I don’t want you to develop piles!” And so my writing in the bathroom began. 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. 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!

Sucker. It’s really disgusting 🤮 I’m not here just to read a book about some boy named Amos Lee. Gives me the guts of doing unlucky stuff,like going home at 1pm by accident.

This is a cute little overview of life in Singapore for an average boy, though I’m struggling to figure out the era, though it has to be in the mid 2000s. I think a child of 10 would enjoy it more than I did, though Amos lacks a dark side
