Actually i hardly post any personal posts because i have not much time to go online.. I will only go online when i think that i have finished enough work.

Now i am going to talk about the audition for SOTA. I am suppose to practise 2 classica songs and these 2 songs must add up to 10min. SOTA is going to send me another song, regardless of your music grade, 2 weeks before the audition in June.

The audition is definitely not that simple. I am required to write a composition about myself on the spot. Also, the examiner will interview me(e.g. why did i choose those 2 songs? what do i like about it??).

Therefore, I have to practise, practise, practise!
Pls wish me good luck!=)

Kindness

2009-04-06T02:04:00.000-07:00

I think that kindness can be done if you want. It is not a genetic 'thing'. If you want to do ir, you can.

Kindness can be done daily.
E.g. In the bus, when you see any handicapped, pregnant lady or senior citizens, we can offer our seats to them.

When you do something good, you will feel a kind of satisfaction. There was once, when I went to the toilet(shopping mall), I helped a little girl to wash her hands because she was too short to reach the basin. I felt good after doing that.

I can tell you that most of the Singaporeans are not gracious. They either pretend to fall asleep or pretend to be too engrossed in their handphones when any pregnant ladies/senior citizens board the MRT train or the bus. I saw many of these scenes.

I watched a chinese show on channel 8 last Thursday at 8pm-8:30pm. It is talking about some inconsiderate scenes about Singaporeans. My sister and I was laughing throughout the whole show as it was really humorous.

Treat public property with care
Remembering to speak softly while on public transport.
Intiating friendly conversations with neighbours & colleagues while on the elevator.
Noticing the people around to offer assistance when needed
Apologising when i am in the wrong

The Trip to The National Museum

2009-04-06T01:48:00.000-07:00

I enjoyed the trip to the Museum. It was my first time there. I loved the atmosphere!! The lights were dim and it was very quiet. But it was quite boring at some sections. I did not really imagine how the whole museum was going to look like, but I knew that the history gallery would look normal(not very special).

Although the history gallery was quite boring, I liked visiting the 'spices' gallery. Especially when we could smell how some spices smell like. I still could not forget the smell of the pepper. It was great!! After this trip to The Museum, I learnt something about the World War 2. I am very fortunate because we never experience the tough lives during wars.

Singapore should have a museum as tourists will want to know more of our past. The Museum is one of the tourists' attractive sights.

After my CA1 test results

2009-03-10T18:04:00.000-07:00

My results are far from my targets set for my PSLE. I want to work harder for my PSLE!!!! I know that by just this will not help. So i am going to have determination and strive for good results.

I think that I caused the bad results for my test myself. Because I did not fully prepare for the up-coming tests. Especially for the mathematics test. I did not practise much for the mathematics test.

I will tell myself from now on to work harder, work harder and work harder. The test papers are OK OK. I do not know how to explain. I know that the maths paper I have a lot of careless mistakes. I will be more careful in my work the next time.

Education in Singapore

2009-02-24T17:07:00.000-08:00

I think that streamming is logical. Because if they don't do this, the bad and good students will mix in the same class and the teacher will be confused if he/she is to focus on the good students or the bad students.

What outside school activities??

2009-02-17T17:11:00.000-08:00

The Outside School Activities

Monday- Study at home

Tuesday- Study at home

Wednesday- Study at home

Thursday- Study at home

Friday- English tuition

- Piano class(evening)

Saturday- Sometimes my whole family goes to IKEA to eat breakfast.

- Science tuition in the afternoon

Sunday- I follow my mother for marketing in the morning

- Chinese tuition in the afternoon

I don't think that these activities will affect my studies, in fact, it will improve my studies. But if sometimes there is too much school work or tuition work, I will get a little stressed.

What will I defend??

2009-02-03T16:51:00.000-08:00

I want to defend my family!!

I love my family so I will protect them. They will always support me no matter what happens. I must do whatever that is needed to protect and defend my family. If there is a war, when someone from each family is supposed to sacrifice himself/herself in order to save the whole family, i will want to sacrifice myself. This is what I want to do to protect and defend my family.

**Be ready to overcome any difficulties**

The Next Step Forward

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

In the year of 2008, I have accomplished quite a number of things. Competitions? Maybe not many. For example, I participated in a photography competition. I also participated in a DV roving competition.Other than those, cannot really remember other competitions I participated in.

My hobby is to collect big and rare seashells. So far, I only collected one big and rare seashell. It was from Vietnam, one of the villages. I wished that I could collect more seashells.

I regretted not having CCA. I did not have any CCAs. When I turn Sec 1, I will have a disadvantage.

But luckily, I achieved something. I scored a A* for my SA2 Mathematics! I was elated. My parents were happy too. The sad thing was, my languages were lousy. For my english I scored a B. And for my Chinese, I think I scored a B also. Although I did not know the results of my Chinese overall, I guessed so.

For next year, I must set a target for myself. I must score a A for all the subjects, but it must be a high A. Getting a high A, I will be satisfied.

I think that I shall end my speech here as I do not have anything else..

MISS CAMP...........

2008-09-01T01:50:00.000-07:00

Days before camp, I used to think that I will not miss camp. But now I understand why my siblings who went through camp told me that they missed camping. Now I understand.It is heart-breaking that we only had 2days1night camp. The past few years, the p5 had 3days 2night camp and now we had only 2days1night camp. It is so unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Campfire was really fun! I missed that activity the most. I did not do the outdoor activities at all.(e.g. abseiling, zipline) I did not mind if I did not the outdoor activities at all. But I really miss campfire. I missed the performances that my group made and other groups.

I was really surprised when my group won the best group award. U know why???? Cause my instructor was always scolding my teammates and me.(the whole group) My instructor said that we did not listen to his intructions. That's why i was surprised that we won.

But overall, I missed and love camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Olympics

2008-08-23T20:42:00.000-07:00

ok... Firstly, I do not know the origins of the Olympics. Secondly, this is my first time watching the Olympics. 4 years back, a country held the Olympics. And at that point of year, I was only 7 years old. I did not even know what is Olympics. So, as I grew older, I began to know what is the Olympics.

These are the facts I got on the Internet: (Origins of the Olympics) The Olympic origins story is connected with the tragedy-ridden House of Atreus. Pelops won the hand of his bride, Hippodamia, by competing in a chariot race against her father, King Oinomaos of Pisa, in Elis. Pelops conspired to win the race by replacing the king's chariot's lynchpins with ones made of wax. These melted on the course, throwing the king from his chariot and killing him. After Pelops married Hippodamia, he commemorated his victory with the Olympic Games. These games either expiated his killing or thanked the gods for the victory.
(The country that Olympics originated from) The Olympics originated from Greece.

Now you should get the rough ideas the Olympics. I watched the Olympics on television several times. It is kind of interesting. Normally, the sports I watch are Diving, Beach Volleyball, Volleyball, Swimming and many other sports. Frankly speaking, I do not fancy any athletes.
I would really wish to participate in the Olympics one day. But I know that this dream will never coome true. Because I am not a sports person. I like the sport Volleyball but maybe I will not have the chance to play seriously.

It is a pity that the Olympics is ending today..(Sunday 24-08-08) The Olympics happened in just a second and now it is over. I had this feeling like the Olympics just began last week only. And now, it finishing. We have to wait for another 4 years and it will be Singapore's turn to hold the Olympics torch.

*I will be waiting for that day*

Sleepy kids

2008-07-23T19:45:00.000-07:00

I think that sleeping late for kids are not good. As for myself, I usually get 9 hours of sleep. Everyday I will watch television at 9pm-10pm. And I will sleep right after the show. I will wake up at 6.30am in the morning. I think that 9 hours of sleep is ok to me.

My mother will not care about the time my sister and I sleep at night She says that if we sleep late and fall ill, we bear the circumstances ourself. My father will always ask us to sleep early. Sleeping late is not good for the health. Many of the secondary school students will sleep at around 8.30pm and wake up at 2-3am to study. They said that at that time, your brain is the freshest. But for that point, I do not agree. For my logic, you should sleep early and wake up early. Many people think that sleeping late at night and waking up late in the morning is better. Actually, if that is your logic, nobody can stop you from doing that. Only you can stop yourself.

In a day, I will finish up my school homework and then finish my tuition homework. But do not worry. I will spare some time to relax. In a week, I do not really have the time to play computer. When I switch on the computer, I either do blogging or play music. I rarely have the time to play online games. Only after my exams, I will on the computer almost everyday.

Adults should also sleep early. But sometimes they have too much things to do and they stay up late. If they continue to do stay up late for a few days, the next few nights they will do the same thing. That's how adults sleep late at night.

Last but not least, advise to all: Sleep early and wake up early!

Cyberbullying

2008-07-16T19:49:00.000-07:00

Cyberbullying is bad! Cyberbullying is not fun!

Many people just love to bully others online. And many do not even know that they are bullying people online. They just do whatever they like.

We have to stop cyberbullying now, or not many people will get cheated or feel threatened. If you have always a thought of bullying others online, think twice before acting. If you were the one who was being bullied, how would you feel? Someti,mes when you bully others, you may feel a kind of satisfaction. But you must know that you will not feel good if you are the one who got bullied.

These are some advises to those who got bullied: 1. When others bully you, stand firm and stop them from bullying you. If they continue to bully you, walk away and tell an adult.
2. Ignore all those who make fun of you. If you continue to stand there and argue with them, they will continue to bully you.

So, always think twice before acting!

It was a day I will never forget.....

I've always waited for this day to come. I wanted to know how a national day parade look like because I have never ever view one before. And this time, I will be going together with my classmates. I arrived at school at 2pm. I took a ride in Shernise's father's car.

When we reached the stadium, it was almost 5pm. We had to walk a very long distance in order to reach the stadium. And the weather was really hot. Almost everyone wore their caps.

Finally, we reached our destinated place. And by then, I was starving. Shernise and I started to eat our dinner. Throughout the whole parade, I enjoyed it. It was interesting.

There was fireworks at the ending of the parade. I videoed the whole thing down. It was really cool. This was my 2nd time viewing the fireworks.

I can say that the whole parade was GOOD!

Food Sold in Our Canteen

2008-05-04T21:21:00.000-07:00

I find that our school canteen is very small. Everytime when my friends and I eat in the canteen, we be unable to find any seats. Not due to our teachers releasing us late, sometimes when we are early, the canteen will be filled with students. But the food in our canteen is alright. the stall I like the most is stall number 5. This stall sells 'chilli meat', hotdog and many other food.

I think that the food selled in our school is not quite healthy... The 'chilli meat' selled in stall number 5 has a lot of oil. But unfortunately, it is very delicious. If people keep on eating food containing a lot of oil, our heart will contain a lot of oil. That is not good for us. Actually I am not quite sure whether the food sold in our school is clean. But I believe that our school canteen's food is clean as our principal will mange the canteen. I think there some healthy food and drinks sold by the vendors. One of it is the stall number 2. This stall sells hot milo which I think that is very healthy.

I have no suggestion of what food should be recommended in our school canteen. I think that our principal should put more chairs into the canteen. After all, I still have my break and my lunch there. It's a good place to have my breaks.

My Ambition

2008-04-22T06:12:00.000-07:00

Hellllloooooo........ I would like to be a doctor? teacher? manager? Actually, it is none of the choices. I would like to run my own business when i grow up. From young, I have always been thinking of having a own shop of my own. I will work towards my goal. Maybe a shop house will be better. My parents will stay on top and do whatever they like and I will stay below and do business.
Now, how do I work towards my goal? Maybe I can find a job first before setting up a own shop of my own. To find a good job, i have to study hard now. I wonder how many more years do i still need to wait to work? Time may seem to be going very fast. People are getting older and older by the day. Bye!

A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA!!!

2008-04-20T01:43:00.000-07:00

My father bought a new digital camera for my sister and me. We were elated! My sister was always wishing for a digital camera. My father bought the camera because I needed one soon and my sister needed it for her project.

The camera's brand is Sony. At first, it was samsung but later on, my father thought that it was too blur when he zoomed in to see in the computer. So he changed it with the shop owner.

Next Tuesday I am going on a trip to Nisun South. Hannah do not have a digital camera. She told me that she was broke so she was unable to buy one. I felt really sad for her.

A Trip to Road Safety Park

2008-04-12T03:09:00.000-07:00

It was a trip that i will never forget..

My best friend, Shernise, and I were lining up outside our classroom. We discussed about our excursion to Road Safety Park with our class. We were pedestrians.

In the bus, we giggled and chatted with our friends. When we reached there, each of us were given a card. On the card, there is a small little map. Shernise and my first stops were the same. So we went to our destination together. It was tiring. We took a long time finding the stop as we got to use zebra crossings and traffic lights to cross.

When we found the stop and did the quiz, we had to split up. I said goodbye to her and she did the same thing. I went alone. I had to admit that I jaywalked a few times but there was no traffic police around. *hew* I was definitely lucky.

At my second last stop, I met Shernise again. She was doing the quiz. There was a traffic police
there and many other pedestrians. I was sort of blind. There was a traffic light a few steps ahead but I did not see it! So I jaywallked in front of a traffic police and everyone saw it! I gasped. I GOT FINED!!!!!!!!! Never mind... Anyway, we came here to have fun.

We went back to school, perspiring a lot.

I sat there, in my room flashing back that day when we went to Road Safety Park.

Lyrics for Breakaway

2008-04-06T06:36:00.000-07:00

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happyI would pray (I would pray)
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loveI'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus]

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakawayI'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbyeI gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come fromI gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Book Recommendation

Title: The Bad Beginning

Author: Lemony Snicket

This story about three orphans. This was the first book and it has a movie on it. It has a series of many books, and I only read some of it. Among all of the books, I think that the first book is the most interesting one.

Here goes the story... One day, the Baudelaires(three orphans' surname) went to the beach. Suddenly, a man named Mr. Poe came walking towards them and said that there were bad news. He announced that their house was been burnt down and the parents were still in there.

The Baudelaires were then sent to one of the relatives. That relative was named, Count Olaf. During the stay of the orphans, Count Olaf treated them like servants and punished them if they do not get the task done well. It was a torture to the Baudelaires as they were usually treated nicely when their parents were around.

One unfine day, Count Olaf insisted that the orphans got to act in one of his plays. The eldest daughter, Violet was playing a role of his girlfriend marrying him. The two other sliblings were just small roles. Soon, Violet realised that Olaf just wanted the Baudelaires' fortune! But it was too late.

On that night, the orphans had no chioce but to act in the play.

SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE END.. WHAT IS IT?? READ IT YOURSELF!!!

Chinese New Year

2008-02-25T19:18:00.000-08:00

The four days of the Chinese New Year break is long. I agree.. But I did not celebrate the Chinese New year. We stayed at home for the 4 days, doing work.. (boring) And I can't receive hong pao this year. Since we can't celebrate Chinese New year, I cannot talk much about my four days' holidays. Maybe the next year you can still come to my blog and see what am I going to do for the Chinese New year.

My Thoughts About The First Day Of School

2008-01-04T01:12:00.000-08:00

It started off with.. "Oh.. So boring... Tomorrow will be the first day of school" said my sister. I thought that it will be fun for the first day of school because i will meet my classmates again.

The day came.. New rules were up. Handphones were allowed. The school has not change at all. My first day in school was a good day.. Because my best friend, Shernise had accompied me in the assembly time and recess time. I got back my old classmates again so I will not need to make new friends.

In the school bus, it was still the same. Many pupils were standing at their seats talking loudly and some even shouted! I think that nothing had changed this year.. Actually, that is better in a way that I can adapt to the same enviroment as last year.

I am quiet satisfied for this week's progress. This will be the end of this topic.. Bye!!
