- Chinatown Girl
- January 1st 1942, a good day to start my diary which I call 'The Life and Times of Silvey Chan.' My name is Silvey Chan, I'm 12 years old, and I live at 45 Greys Avenue, Auckland, New Zealand. In my family there is my Ba, Ma, brothers - Dai Gor and Day-Day, sisters - Soong and Chuen, and my grandfather Ah Yeh. My heritage is Chinese but I was born in New Zealand.

- Me to Silvey.
- I'm going to miss Wellesley Street School Judy.
- My best friend is Judy Brown. We are almost like twins, except in appearance we are complete opposites. Feeling sad about my school closing down - it's like another home where I learn and can experience enjoyment.

- Rations
- My parents run a shop, and today I was serving. A young, tall, skinny Chinese boy was leaning against the wall. He acted weird, and said See ya later, in a cocky sort of way. Manilla in the Philippines fell to the Japanese a few days ago. War is all anyone talks about these days especially at my house. Rationing has started - tea, sugar, and clothing are to be rationed.
