Emma Mettelena Kalle

Hi, I am Emma Kalle. 5 years old. Born on the 28th of September 1993. I was born in Holland but now I live in Australia in Wagga Wagga. I like it a lot because I like kangaroos. I've seen lots of them and still like them. I also like dolphins, orca's, koalas and other Australian animals.

My big hero is . She is tough and strong like me. My mum has taped about all the Xena shows from tv. I don't know how many I've got but we started in season 1 and we're now in season 3. And Mum is still taping.

I am also crazy about the Spice Girls.

Sporty Spice is my favourite because she is tough and she is the best singer of the Spice Girls.

My favourite songs are "2 become 1" , "Stop" and "Spice up your life". I have three Spice Girls videos. "Live in Istanbul" and my Mum has taped "Miami Spice" , a tv show about their first USA performance. For Christmas I got my third Spice Girls video. My grandmother had sent me some money from Holland (thanks Oma Metty!!!) and of course I bought "Spice Girls live at Wembley Stadium". I love it. Did you know they are really naked when singing "Naked"??? At least, that's what my mum says.

Since a few weeks, I've also got a guinea pig. I called it Xena. Here's a picture.

Isn't she beautiful???? Her full name is Xena Sporty! Unfortunately, after two months as part of the Kalle family Xena died. Cause unknown but we think Xena has been weak from the beginning. She never seemed to gain any weight and didn't eat much. I was heartbroken but now I have a new guinea pig. I called it Sporty and my mum will insert a picture soon.

In February I'll start school. I am going to Wagga Wagga Public school. This means I will have to wear a uniform. I don't mind it but my parents don't like the idea of uniforms. I don't want to wear a dress so I'll only wear shorts or pants in winter. This is me in uniform.

The next picture is me at the Dutch shop in Sydney. We don't go there very often (just once a year since it is about 500 km's from Wagga) but when we go I'm really excited. My mum and dad buy all the Dutch treats I like. Like 'hagelslag', 'drop', 'gekleurde muisjes', 'spekkies', 'broodje kroket', 'oliebollen mix' and much much more. All the things I really miss from Holland.

My grandmother just sent me lots of 'droppies'. Thanks Oma Thea!

In July we moved to Coolamon to a much bigger and nicer house. Now I've got a dog and named her Xena (of course) I renamed the Guinea pig (who is still alive) Hercules since we discovered it is a male. So now I have Xena and Hercules!!! We also have 4 chickens, The Spice Girls, Sporty, Posh, Scary and Baby. (pictures will soon follow)

Here is a picture of our house.

We now have a large backyard. I have a beautiful room and I've started a new school, Coolamon Central. I like it very much, especially my teacher Mrs. White. She is so nice. I live only two minuets walking from school and now friends can come and play at my house. I really love it even though I missed my old school at first (especially my friend Jessica Kelly)
