Kindness

This week is about kindness. This value is what everyone want to have. Some say that having kindness is very easy but some say is the most difficult. Why? It really depend on your character. Kindness is about having to do something like helping others people when they are in need. No matter they are young or old, we should always lend a helping to others. Kindness is the act or the state of being kind and marked by charitable behaviour, marked by mild disposition, pleasantness, tenderness and concern for others. People being kind is important. Being kind to other does not need a reward after every kind doing. We leave a good impression and gain other's trust. These are the only things we would ask for from others when did something kind. Actually being kind is very simple. You can help an old lady across the road or helping your neighbour by babysitting their child. I remembered I once help a foreigner to translate. I was at the bowling centre and I went to some beverages. This lady was having difficulty communicating to the cashier as the cashier does not know how to speak Mandarin. I happened to be there so I helped to translate. It really helped. The lady just gave me a smile said a very nice thank you and walked off.I could not helped and too, smiled. I felt very pleased and happy. Maybe I could help the school by donating some money generously so that the school to renovate some part of the school. I could always be a good role modal to the lower primary kids and they might followed. They may followed the wrong doings but they can always changed those bad habits. So let make our part in the community and make the world a better place.

SA1 Oral Exam

I was relieve when I heard that I was having my oral on 22nd then on 23rd. First reason, I would not want to have an examination on my birthday...(Yes....Yes....My birthday is on the 23rd ....So what!) Second reason, I was afraid that I would forget everything as I was nervous. This apply on the every oral exam I have actually. Anyway, the date of my oral exam change because I needed to go for Math Olympiad on 23rd.When my friends and I was having lunch together, we helped each other by giving tips and good advice.( I was sitting with most of the smart girls in class...Their tips and advice really helped a little bit.)We then assembled at the hall waiting for arrangement to be made. The few moments was frightening. We were crossing our fingers when the head mistress went near to the examiner's table. Everyone was praying hard that she was not the examiner. A miracle did happen. Our examiner was actually a friendly teacher.Finally it was my turn and I went to sit down. ( Of cause I greet the teacher before I sat down.)I took a deep breath and started reading the passage. Followed by the picture, it was funny when I think back. I stumbled a lot of time and it was different when I was preparing. Surprisingly, when I made a mistake in the picture part. The teacher actually corrected me. I was surprised and grateful to him. It wasn't for him, I would not have realised my mistake. We then proceeded to the conversation. His question was about accident. The teacher asked me whether I had seen an accident on the road. My answer was yes and it shocked him. I went on to elaborate and I expressed it exactly how it happened.It was the end of my English oral exam and it was going to be the end of the world. I had practised very hard for both my English and mother tongue oral. My language used to be very poor. I really worked hard but no matter how hard I tried. I still did not improve.Let's get back to subject. So, I waited for my turn for the mother tongue oral. At first, I was quite confident but after I found out that my examiner was actually my own teacher. That really made me have butterflies in my stomach. I took a deep breath again and just went ahead. Everything pass so quickly. The next thing I know that I was walking home, smiling.

International Friendship Day

The theme for this year International Friendship Day is getting to know more about ASEAN.On International Friendship Day,people spend time with their friends and express love for them. Of course, it is called international is because people express their feeling to their friends from other countries.This event started in USA,1935.It dedicate in honor of a friend.The United States , proclaimed first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. Since then, celebration of National Friendship Day became an annual event. The noble idea of honoring the beautiful relationship of friendship caught on with the people and soon Friendship Day became a hugely popular festival.Basically, ASEAN stands for Association of Southeast Asian Nations. ASEAN was formed by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand on 8 August 1967.Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia , Laos and Vietnam.Its aims include the acceleration of economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members, the protection of the peace and stability of the region, and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully. Seriously, I don't really enjoy this year International Friendship Day. From the previous sentence, I think you can see that I don't like this year activities organised by the school. I think that it is quite boring unlike the one we have last year. Well, i have friends from Thailand. Actually, it is my father's colleague's wife. She opened a shop in Bugis Junction. She make things that are really beautiful. Some of the items are imported from Thailand. The school could maybe can show a power point slide outside the HOD room about ASEAN because I had seen pupils looking at them.

Learning Journey To Singapore History Museum

Among all the learning journey I went, this was one of the meaningful ones I been.After the whole thing, I think that there were not enough time. Everything started at the entrance of the history gallery.The Companion was distributed to my friends and I ( including my teacher and the parent volunteers) This gadget is an enlarged version of an Ipod but only that it is filled with information of the gallery.We were lead down a long and slippery spiral slope. Oops... Forgot to mention how to use the Companion...There is buttons that is labeled from 0-9.When you see a number on the floor just press the number on the Companion and it will tell you more on the exhibit.All the exhibit were very interesting. My teacher told us not to go in a group but I just grabbed my friend's hand( by the way, her name is Cheryl) and told her to follow me.We entered the gallery and my friend wanted to just browse through everything but I held her back as I tried to listen to all the sound clips. Soon, we were the only one left at the starting of the gallery. I told her not to worry, we won't get lost in the gallery. Some exhibits and the sound clip was a bit scary. The room made it more scary. We walked in fear as if we were in a haunted house in an amusement park.When I checked my watch. 45 minutes had past and we were only at about number 45-50. We would have to rush through the rest of the exhibit but we learnt quite a lot there. I thought it was the end of the journey but I seems like I was wrong.We went up huge flight of stairs and we stop outside two different exhibits.I went to the fashion exhibit first. There, I saw many dresses and sets of clothes that were from the different generations.My favourite one was the one with an orange vest and shorts. The high heels were extremely high. I listened to a story of an old tailor. She told everything about her past and how she get her interest in her career.We exchange places with the other half of the class and we went in to the film and wayang gallery. There were three screen showing some of the films from the past. When I saw the horror part, I was sort of scared. I felt a shiver down my spine and I closed my eyes as tightly as possible. I dared myself in watching the film and in the end, I found myself laughing my head off.Instead of being frighten, it was hilarious as it made no sense at all.Everything was familiar to me when it came to the wayang exhibit. My grandmother always bring me to wayang shows when I was younger.We next proceed to the food exhibit.It smelt different kind of smell and I really hate the coconut.I wonder how the made it. Just pulling a ring and the smell just come out like that.I listen to the history of the TokTok mee. I wanted to listen to the others but there was not enough time to do so.I wish I could go back to the museum.It is sure a good place to be at when you learn.I learn quite a lot of Singapore History. I want to thank the principal and the teachers to organise such a wonderful experience for us. Thank You...:)

Healthy Eating

Eating healthily is important. If one is not eating healthily,his or her stamina would not be as good as others and diseases would be their best friend. Food like vegetables and fruits are always the secret ingredient to staying away from visits to the doctor....This is what i always think...You see...Fast food like fries and chips are always the favourite among us but they are always unhealthy.Vegetables and fruits are always rejected by children these days but they are the healthier food.Like I said before, we must eat healthily to prevent diseases from ''following'' us. Diabetes and high blood pressure are some of the diseases that are caused by eating unhealthily.Eating fruits and vegetables are rich vitamins and minerals which made them the best.At the age of three,(this is what I remember) I would always refuse to eat the vegetables my parents give me. As I grow, I realise that vegetables and fruits are not that bad.So, I am fond of vegetables and fruits. They are always sweet( not always...) and always brighten my day...The campaign the school is having is a great idea...I think it really encourage the pupils to eat more healthy food.Maybe we can have a week that if someone is caught eating healthy food can get a prize... That's all i got to say... BB..
