Kindness

2009-04-06T07:14:00.000-07:00

Kindness is in everyone.Although some people do not wish to admit they were kind do to 'face', every one has actually done at least one kind act. It can range from saying 'please' and 'thank you' to helping a disabled person who is in need.
Kindness is needed in the world as many people are disabled and some are less fortunate then us.

National Museum of Singapore

2009-04-06T06:56:00.000-07:00

Have you ever read 'Horrid Henry' series? In one of the books, Horrid Henry's class was planning to go on a trip to an ice-cream store. But, it was closed for the day and they had to go to their town museum. The book said that Horrid Henry did not like museums and the way they put it, I too also think it is boring.
At the museum, Horrid Henry was proved wrong. I enjoyed the trip there, with the Companion, I learnt about Singapore's history the fun way.A museum in Singapore is the best way to attract tourist from other countries and to let people know about our history.
There is only one thing i learnt from the museum other then more of our history- Not all books are right :). The museum had proved Horrid Henry wrong.

p.s Horrid Henry is a series of books :)

Earth Hour

2009-04-01T05:28:00.000-07:00

Earth hour is a day where many people(i doubt even 65% of the world turned their lights off) turn their electrical apliances off for 1 hour(some apliances are not to be off EG. The fridge) to try and save the earth from global warming.(some people just prefer to die along with the earth then miss their fav tv shows or skip 1 hour of their games)
Eh..... I did not actually turn off all the lights(not my fault) My mum made me share the room light with my brother to do homework while she(and my dad) were watching tv with the lights and air-con on.... Least my maid turned her lights off and started to read in my brothers room.
The earth is facing global warming due to a shortage of trees as people cut them down. To stop this, I would suggest that the people who cut trees plant 2 seedlings in place of the tree they cut. They must also ensure that the seedling/young plant grows healthy.In addition, everyone should try and buy 1 seedling to plant every year to ensure the survival of the trees(mind you the seedling has to grow healthy instead of dying in your garden without even a proper funeral).

After class test 1

2009-03-10T18:03:00.000-07:00

After class test 1, i had to get ready for sa1. =( too fast? time flies fast. My results are far from my targets. Only my chinese has reached its target.Doing well would be hard for me because of the paper's difficulty. The only way to improve,for me, is to revise , do practise test papers and memorize key points.Overcoming the diffculty is the hardest of all. I plan to do 1 practise test paper so i can reach my psle target

singapore educational system

2009-02-24T17:05:00.000-08:00

I agree that the Ministry of Education, which have introduced a greater focus on creative and critical thinking, and on learning for life-long skills rather than simply learning to excel in examinations is good.
I think our strength is on written work and there is little emphasis on creative thinking
Our education system is too specialised, rigid, and elitist enabling us to do well in comptetitions.
I like it that the Ministry of Education have introduced a greater focus on creative and critical thinking, and on learning for life-long skills rather than simply learning to excel in examinations.
The ministry could also make use of computers to make learning easier.
singapore has been winning competitons and others would like to win too, so they imitate our exam standard to compete with us in competitions

2009-02-17T17:12:00.000-08:00

I have tution on Monday. Tution starts at 7.30 pm and ends at 9.00 pm(1 and 1/2 hours long).My chinese is weak... my mother made me go tution =p....
Yes. i got 68/100 for the mock test =).
It does not affect my studies but instead helps me.
I feel a bit stressed sometimes.Psle is near... tough....
People should be involved in outdoor activities because it relaxes them and tution helps them

mission and value

2009-01-13T23:54:00.000-08:00

Values are there to ensure we can behave the way a normal citizen would.(q1)
Values are like rules to me or something good to express (q2)
I can live up to the school values by respecting them and using them(q3)
Teachers could set up a game on values or have a quiz with prizes to the winners so that students can/may enjoy the games and/or have fun with the quiz whilst learning about values(q4)

=/ im not that good in values sorry if this is kind of boring ...

2009-01-13T17:16:00.000-08:00

New years resolution:
1) Study more chinese =S
2) improve everything!!!!!!!!!!! =))
3)read all horrible____ books( the ___ means history, scicene etc.) =]
4)help my cuzin with her blog less =]
5) play less psp =/

reflection-the next step foward

2008-11-03T19:00:00.000-08:00

Accomplishing a lot of things is just not me.I only accomplished 3 things.Which are learning to cycle, getting silver award in swimming and getting into math olympiad. =/
I missed the chance of getting at least a 'b' for chinese and an 'A' for english.=(I also missed the chanceof watching hsm3 with davian and the rest as my mother said she is bringing my cousin, my brother and i to watch the next day. =/
8 weeks is a short time to acco0mplish much. I just plan to observe at least 5 cells on a microscope i am buying today.=/ taking part in a swimming or cycling competition sounds good too. If there is one i will take part in it. =)
2009 is the year for PSLE. It is the year of all work no play. I will be forced to study as Psle will be there next year.I might not have any time to play, take part in competitions or even enjoy my hobby. The most i can do is 1 hour a day for either reading or doing a bit of cycling. If i am lucky, my mother might let me play computer for about half an hour or so.=/Hard year =(.
Wish everyone to have good luck in PSLE next year and achieve as many things that they can!!!!! =)

camp

2008-09-07T06:00:00.000-07:00

The camp was nice and i enjoyed most of it. When they asked us to sit down at the hall i was thinking did they ever wash it?It looked dirty maybe its because of everone stepping on it.=P The huts were nice not as i expected.I thought the huts were dirty and made out of straws but not as i expected. When we go absailing i didn't really want to go part of me is scared(i have to admit it) while the other part of me wants me to go and a tiny part of me is scared of sun burn =P. In the end i wanted to go but they said last set so i didn't go.I heard about the dancing thing and i thought we were the only group as many had changed and i haven't really danced much for 6 years or so.After the campfire i was much relaxed and waited for sleep time as davian was sooooo heavy and his blog says he gained 3kg. Everyone was suppose to sleep at 00.00 but everyone in the hut was waiting for the "air-con". I didn't expect something then, ramon snores was super loud i slept for 3 hors cuz davian wanted to know the time.i was lucky to get a corner song yang had a sleep attack he kept kicking and i was at his head so i got nothing but davian he got kicks.I slept and 3 and woke up at 6. Davian said he slept for only 1/2 hour how does he do that?

6. Do you think it is worth organising the Olympics? Why?
Yes.Other countries can find out about more countries if they take part in the olymics

Sleepy Kids

2008-07-23T19:48:00.000-07:00

The Sunday Times reported on 20 July that 'nearly half of the primary school pupils polled say they are not getting enough sleep' (The Sunday Times, 20 July 2008, Home, Page 8, "Sleepy Kids").Some interesting extracts from the article:a) Dr Jenny Tang, deputy head of paediatric medicine at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, said that the recommended number of hours a child between the ages of six and 12 should sleep a day is 10 to 11 hours.b) Mr Martin Tan, principal of Anderson Primary School, said schools are conscious of the need for pupils to have sufficient rest and family time.'It boils down to time management and this is where parents need to work closely with their children to ensure they are spending their time at home wisely and making the right choices,' he said.c) If good grades are what parents and teachers are after, they should know that sleep deprivation can affect a child's attention, memory, decision-making and creativity.d) It (lack of sleep) can also cause kid to become more irritable and can even lead to behavioural problems like hyperactivity and disobedience.How true is this for your case? Read Mr Tan's response, and two of your schoolmates' sleeping habits in this article.Reflect on this issue using these guiding questions:1) How many hours of sleep do you get a night?A) I usually sleep at 10-10.30 :).2) Do you think you have enough sleep each day?A) Yes.I usually wake up at 6.30 a.m. and take a bath.A bath refreshens me?no!3) Do your parents make u sleep early?A) yes.they off the lights so i can't do anything but sleep(the kept the remote control for the lights pc and tv :( ).4) If you think you have enough sleep, how do you manage to do that? If you do not have enough sleep, what are you doing that keep you awake (computer games / TV / Internet / Homework / Tuition /School activities etc.) and hence, prevent you from getting enough sleep?A) My parents seldom let me play com :( cannotwatch tv also.5) Do you think you have too many things to do every day?A) No.I usually complete my work( Chinese work )homework asap then do the rest :) of course art comes last :)6) What are the things that you have to do in a day?A)Pack my bag do homework etc.7) What do you think children and parents can do to ensure that children get enough sleep?A) let them sleep late so they wake up late and realise their lessson :)
