A school day(the worst post)(part 5/5)

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

What do you think of a post describing a day's event? Boring! However, as this is the last official post for English, I shall be a bit monotonous. Then again, I am sure my other posts were the same. Lets make this short and brief.
Today, during Mother Tongue lessons, our teacher told us that we still have a long way to go in our TFU project. Sigh, why must there be TFU? I feel that is very difficult and is meant to take away our marks though i know it means otherwise.
Then, after recess, we had 5 continuous lesson with the highlight of the day, our celebrated Mr Hamilton. I read 'Crocodile Tears' for the reading period, the book is quite nice and I recommend that you read the series. During our English lesson, we had to do finish the whole of the 1st comprehension package. We also learnt words all starting with "super" like "superficial", "superfluous".Then came the OPW.
It was Online Project Work (OPW) today. I am in a group, consisting of Jun Hui (the leader), Aloysius (the assistant leader), Han Wei (the secretary), Eugene and me, which is in charge of the hall. Well, there is friction between Han Wei and me, I admit. But at least we completed today's assignment, good job everybody! I have to say that Han Wei did a good job, thinking of what to improve in the hall. I could not think of anything that has anything to do with sports. Ok, we reached the end of the blog. So, see you till i decide to blog again!
By the way, i included a picture of our nice classroom design (not yet uploaded).

My school day today!(part4/5)

Monday, January 25, 2010

Today was another day with the CDE-TTT lesson. This time, there were no teachers around in the class. Yay! However, we had to split up into groups of 5( but my group only got 4 people) and try to think up a plan to raise funds for the President's challenge, or for the recent Haiti earthquake victims. The President's challenge was started in 2008, to raise funds to help those who are less fortunate. Besides thinking up the plan, we also had to write the details like "When", "Where", "What","Who" and "How". Our group thought of a flea market which can be held in school, reducing the cost. We will make our own things to sell or we could also donate any new but unwated or unused items. The money we get will all go towards charity. Our Peer Students Leaders(PSL) had already done this project and assisted us in working the details out. It was quite fun as one of the PSL, Tze Yang, put that our estimated money collected is $5 million. I mean seriously $5million? Isn't that too much? Maybe he wanted to give us that sum of money. We learnt the value of compassion anyway. Ok, now skip skip skip fast foward. Here we are at Miss Hashimah's lesson. Miss Hashimah:" Now I want you to finish everything by Wednesday." Wednesday? We already had Maths homework and we had to finish the bear head by Wednesday? Look at my half-finished bear head. I mean, I am not a good tailor. No wonder no one likes to take Home Economics at O-levels. Ah, time to finish the homework! See you all next time, that is tomorrow!

A day with my family(part 3/5)

Sunday, January 24, 2010

Today, my family and I went back to my grandparents' house as my mother's youngest brother, also my uncle, has returned from overseas after a few years. (I can't remember how long). This time, he will be staying here permanently, that is based on his contract with his company. Also, my aunt and cousin-Marvin, will also be coming back too. My eldest uncle went to Changi Airport and fetched them back home while we waited them at home. We had a lot of fun as Marvin grew a lot. Presently he is in K1 and learning to speak Mandarin. He liked to play with my sister. At the very beginning he was shy but it took only 2 to 3 hours, he wanted to follow us back home. Look at him! Isn't he cute? Say cheese!

We also met up with the other members of the family and had a chat with them. One of my cousins was one of the new Victorian family, a Sec 1. He is my younger cousin, yet is taller than me. I will not reveal his name or his class lest people (like EUGENE!) go and find him.This is his photograph. Look> he is SERIOUSLY tall!

Ok, lets get back to the main point. Well, we ate a sumptuous dinner there, talking about the recent events, like the Haiti earthquake, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. After that, my family and I headed home, tired after spending the day out. I realised that a family, regardless of big and small, cares for each other no matter what.

Something unusual that day(part 2/5)

Saturday, January 23, 2010

How many people would give up their seats on a crowded bus to the elderly or pregnant? Not many of us would do that, I am sure. We would just look down at the floor and act like nothing was wrong. However, there is still some who are compassionate and let the needy rest their legs. I witnessed one of these acts while I was on the bus home, after school that day.
It was yesterday, when I was returning home after staying back for my main co-curriculum activity (CCA), library, that I saw it. I was on the bus no. 53, which was one of the new buses with more space for standing and for the disabled. It had air-conditioner too. The bus was quite crowded then. I boarded the bus and had no place to sit, so I stood instead. When an elderly woman entered the bus, a woman in her mid-30s gave up her seat and invited the elderly woman to sit down. She refused to do so but the woman was insistent and did not return to her seat, carrying on standing. Eventually, the elderly woman sat down.

Sorry people

Boom

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Something happened today, though i wont say what is it but today is a 'wet' day for Jun Hui. Today, in PE,I ran the 100m for our house, I was so slow... I ran it in 19+seconds, at least I won Matthew, also it seems like many people fail the 15sec maximum time to get points for their house. I played floorball too , running here and there, still very tired now. Sad thing today was that Stacius injured his fingers. I don't know how he did that though. I also didnt bring my science pratical workbook, and had to write on foolscap. Oh well, bye already. Time to rest.

New addition to blog

Something which we can learn from(part 1/5)

Monday, January 18, 2010

Today, during CDE-TTT lesson, our celebrated Mr Hamilton gave us a talk on resilience and also showed us a Youtube Video on a certain man who possesses a lot of resilience. I feel that we should all learn from this great man.
His name is Nick Vujicic. Nick Vujicic is a man born in 1982, with no arms and no legs, but with two small feet, one of which has two toes. That sounds bad to you? It is about to get much worse. He was constantly bullied in school and even started thinking about suicide at the young age of 8. Imagine you are 8 years old and you want to die, you are less than 10 years alive and yet you want to leave this world already. However, he pulled through and is now travelling around the world, giving motivational speeches to people everywhere. He also joined a organization for the physically disabled. His achievements are outstanding yet I had not heard of him before.
However, after i learnt more about him, I realized more about life. Life gives us troubles, not because it want us to fall and break down but because it want to make us grow stronger. I also realized that we should not be fussy about anything, we could have been born in a poor country where we do not enjoyed any of the benefits we are enjoying in Singapore. From Nick Vujicic, we can learn that one should never give up when we are in diffuclt situations. We should possess resilience to survive in life. Remember that a life is a life, and life is precious. Do not hate your life (like some emo people); you should love it.

A day at the pool

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Today, I woke up to a bright and sunny morning. After eating my breakfast, my family and I watched a bit of television. After having my lunch and using the computer for gaming purposes, my family, excluding my father, went out. We went to Tampines Swimming Complex for my brother's swimming lesson.

One more day.
