Kindness

Hi guys, I am back.This week,I am going to post on Kindness(which is the title of this post).Do you know what is Kindness?Kindness is actually helping somebody whom you don't know or whom you know.People this days are NOT helpful neither are they kind.It is important for us to be kind to other people as,other people,when you need help,will also help you.We can show kindness by helping an old lady to cross the road,giving up your seat in public transports for those who needs it or just helping your friend when they need help.I did a few acts of kindness which is giving my seat up for a pregnant women in the MRT train,helping an old lady to get up the bus and many similar acts like the ones I mention above.I actually felt a kind of happiness in me for every kindness acts.I would like to donate some of my toys and clothings to the poor people in other countries.I myself can promote the message of kindness to my friends by telling them the importance of being kind.This is the end of this post.

SA1 Oral Exam

Hi guys,I am back.This week,I am going to post about my SA1 Oral Exam.I just had my oral exam on Wednesday. Actually it was supposed to be on Thursday but because of Maths Olympiad, Miss Rahimah had to change the date of our Oral Exam.I was as nervous as like some of my friends.I think that some of my classmates are also regretting about the mistakes they made(like me).After lunch, we went to the hall, lined up in our classes first before getting divided into groups.Most of us thought Mrs Subra was our examiner and we thought that if she were to be our, we will 'die' for sure but it turned out to be Mr Muz.While I was waiting,I do my homework .While reading the passage ,I felt so nervous that I rushed through it(I read very badly).After I read the passage,I had to describe the picture.The picture was a roadside with students littering, playing soccer and dashing across the road.Then, the picture-conversation time!Mr Muz asked "Have you ever witnessed a accident?"I replied "Yes"and the necessary information to say. Next was Chinese.I had to wait for my turn be called.Then,when it was myturn, the teacher called about ten of us to the corridor of the hall to wait for our turn.(Rui Xuan was behind me).We were taken to the space beside the spiral staircase which was where we sit and sort of prepare to read the passage and describe the picture.The passage was a story about a camel and a mouse.The picture was a basketball court and there was a carpark beside it.Then we were led into the AVA room to take the real Oral.My chinese examiner was my own Chinese teacher, Miss Chong,which cause to be even nervous.I was so nervous that I was pausing my way through the passage.For the picture,there were students playing basketball, reading, littering, eating and running in the carpark.When Miss Chong asked me what is it in the picture that caught the most of your attention, I said it was the boys catching each other in the carpark because this is dangerous as they might not notice drivers who are driving their car out of the carpark and get knocked down.Then it was the end of the Oral.I then went downstairs where I met Sujay and then we talked about how we did for our Oral.I think that overall,I did badly!!!!This is the end of my terrible experience of Oral.

International Friendship Day

Hi,I am back for this week's journal ,international friendship day.I will be using IFD to represent International Friendship Day as it's to long.This year's theme is to find out more about ASEAN.As you know,we valued the importance of friends in our lives. To celebrate this noble feeling it was deemed fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship.Considering the valuable role friends play in our life it was deemed to fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship. The United States Congress, in 1935, 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.There are numerous folktales and several instance in mythological legends that shows that friends and friendship have been valued since the beginning of civilized world.ASEAN stands for Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Asean has a total of 10 countries which included Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia,Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and lastly,Vietnam.I did not even know about ASEAN till I was ask to know more about it.I then realise the importance of making friends of different races.My school held a concert last week.They invited an indonesian over to tell us more about their culture.Overall, I did find it interesting and nice.My school too held some activities on IFD.I enjoyed but thought that it could be better.I have ASEAN country's friend which I made on a holiday trip with my family.I seldom contact him as the only way was through MSN and I cannot use the computer for other things except for blogging during school days(which means I could only play computer games and MSN during school holidays).I think that the school should organise more activities on IFD.Erm...........Yah, that's for now.BYE!!!!

Learning Journey to Singapore History Museum

Hi guys ,I back.This week journal is going to be on the learning journey I went on Monday.It was my first ever experience going to the Singapore National Museum.After lunch ,we board the bus .When I got into the museum I knew that it would be very interesting.Soon after we reach there , it started to rain so heavy that the spooky lights on the ceilings were swaying.Then they gave us our personal "tour guide"which was the Companion,a kind of information gadget or something like that.We had to gather together first on the floor to hear the instruction given by the guides over there.To process information,we must press in the numbers on the floor of each exhibits.The first exhibit I went in was projected with large screens.The atmosphere set was dim and eerie.Maybe it was set to bring out the exhibits.I used my own "tour guide"to guide. The well reserved artifacts and pictures really told me the histories that we cannot find in the textbooks .The Companion was clear and the details I needed was all in the Companion.There was an exhibit on how Singapore was defeated by the cruel Japanese soldiers.There were also exhibits of our war heroes such as Elizabeth Choy whom many people admired.There so many exhibits that I missed some of it.At first I went around the exhibits with some of my classmates ,then I went solo.An hour or less,I reach the end of the exhibits ,I handed my "tour guide "over to the guides and I took a rest on the sofa.After everyone had settled down,we went to the "Film and Wayang"gallery .In there we watched a lame Malay horror movie.Then we proceeded to the "Fashion "gallery.There were different types of clothes.After ,we went to the "Food"gallery which was filled with different types of food.There were containers containing different types of smells.Yuck!!!All smelled like different spices.We view alot of food.After that , we were told to fill up a survey.Then it was time for us to leave.As we said our farewell ,we leave the place reluctantly.We came back to school to collect our bags then we all went home.

My own opinion:It was really fun really ,I mean it.LOLs

Healthy Eating

Hi guys ,I am back.This week , I am going to write about Healthy Eating.As you know ,we need the energy from the food we eat.However,it is important to eat healthily.If we do not eat healthily ,we could suffer from some diseases.Eating oily and fried food everday is not eating healthily.Healthy food includes rice ,meat,vegetables and fruits,thus we must include this in our daily meals.Fast food is one of the most unhealthy food,but yet people today loves eating this. It is ok to eat it occasionally but some people eat it almost everyday.Eating unhealthily can lead us to diabetes.We can eat yogurt with some toppings on it instead of snacks such as potato chips, prawn cracker and tibits.Eating fruits and vegetables contains vitamins which can prevent us from contracting diseases.Between fruits and vegetables ,I would prefer fruits because it is tastier than vegetables.There is a campaign in my school called 'Fruittie Veggie Bites' or something like that. I will support it as it teaches us the importance of eating healthily.Another way is to encourage children(like me)to eat more fruits and vegetables so as to remind them about the risks of not eating healthily.
Erm...........That's all for today.
A very lame reminder for everybody:An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
