A performance that impressed me is the drama performance. The actors and actresses in the drama are very in show and the storyline is very interesting too. I will not consider a career in acting as I will tense to get nervous performing in front of so many people. However if I were an actor, I would want to be a character that bring joy to everyone. This is because I always hoped that I am able to make people happy. I agree that some people worry too much about thing. For me, I usually do not worry much as I will not be able to do things well when I am worried. Therefore when I worry about something, I will always encourage myself not to worry, telling myself that such things need not be worried yet. For example, if I cannot finish my homework, I will tell myself that there is still time and if I am willing to do it, I will be able to finish it on time. There are still other things that I will worry such as in the case when my mother was very sick. However, I told myself not to worry. I tell myself that there is nothing to worry about. It could be that she was just sick due to tiredness. Even if something is to happen, it is not too late to worry when the doctor have confirmed my mother illness.

The picture depicts the scene of a man teaching the elderlys to do some dance moves. I can tell that as the elderlys are doing the same moves as the man. However he does not look very happy. It could be possible that he is very tired. However the elderlys sure look happy to be learning these moves. Even though there are elderlys enjoy it, not all elderlys enjoyed it. Some of them seems to be distracted while some seems to have given up. In conclusion, I think that the elderlys find this activity interesting.

I will run a tuition centre and teach the students physics and maths. I am good in maths and physic and I would like to teach the others to help them get a better results. Teaching can be quite fun especially if you manage to help a student understand a difficuly problem. You will feel a sense of acomplishment. However running a business can be difficult for example the cash needed to start a business. Things that are happening in the society could affect business too because if the economy is not good, parent will not afford the money to allow their children to have tuition. Some difficulties faced by women are that they are not able balance their work with taking care of the family. They will tense to focus more on work. I think employers should be more thoughtful for them. Employers should allow these women to have more leaves. Maybe the employers could allow them to bring back their home so that they can take care of their children and do their work at the same time. The advantages of working from home is that they can get information more conveniently however it will also mean that these women will have less time for their family.

The picture depicts the scene of a two women playing with the children. I think this place is the childcare centre as there are alot of children and they are not in school uniform. I think the two women are the in charge of the childcare centre. They are playing a games which requires the student standing in front of the woman to catch the children behing the woman and it is the woman job to prevent that from happening. From the smiles on their face, I can tell that they having great fun not only for the children but for the adults too. I think they are having so much fun because this game can be very thrilling and exciting. I think after the game, they will have a nap as they will surely be tired after playing such thrilling and exciting game.

I was feeling very angry then. I was wronged for stealing my friend's computer game. My friend said that I borrow his computer game to go back home to install and did not return him after that. However, I did return him and I placed it in his bag. He could not find it and said malign me for stealing. In the end he realised that his mother had took it out. From this experience, I learn that we should not borrow things that are not necessary from others so as to minimise the chance of being wronged. I think people find it hard to admit their mistake because they feel ashamed of their own doing and they are scared that if they admit their mistakes, they will be blamed and punished. I think people can learn to be good in sports. It is true that obese people will find it harder to be good in sports but it does not mean that it is not possible. It just that extra effort is needed for them to be good in sports. Some people are better in sports than other people because they have train more than them. It is unfair to say that men are better at sport than women as if a woman is willing to train, she can be better than men that are unwilling to train.

This picture depicts the scene of the stadium. There are many people there supporting the athletes. In the middle of the pictures, there are boys sitting at the track and girls standing and jumping at the grass patch. I think the girls are watching at their classmates competing in the annual school sports meet. I know that it is a school sport meet as the girls are wearing their school uniform. I think the girls are more enthusiastic in the competition as compared to the boys. From the smiles from the girls, I think that the people they supporting for are winning. In conclusion, I think that sport meets is a very enjoyable event and people should be more enthusiastic in it.

An area of natural beauty will be the botanical garden. It has different types of plants which make me feel relax and forgot about all my troubles. It is enjoyable to be able to be so close with nature. The work that everyone has to do now is causing people to have no much time to appreciate such beauty and it is a pity. Therefore i feel that when we have time, we should try to come to such places to enjoy the scenery. I think we should protect the natural habitat as it is the home for many animals. By destroying them, we are making many animals to be homeless. If it were us, we will not want our home to be destroyed too. Therefore I feel that we should not be so selfish and should protect the environment. I feel that we are destroying nature too quickly. All the things we are using such as paper, furnitures, stationery are from the nature. I agree that it is important to develop cities even if it damages nature but if we continue at this rate, there will be nothing left for us to destroy to develop the cities. Therefore I feel that while we are destroying the nature for development of cities, we should at the same time recover the nature by growing back the plants that we have destroyed. In conclusion, we should all do our part in protecting the nature.

The picture depicts a scene of people helping a man in wheelchair into a bus. On the right, there is a guy pushing the man in wheelchair from the back up to the the bus while on the left, there is another guy in flowers pattern shirt stretching out his hand from the bus to help the man in wheelchair. There are people beside them watching how they help the man. I think that they are just waiting for them to help the man in wheelchair up so that they can go up too. I feel that these people should not just stand there and watch the two men helping him up. Especially when the man in wheelchair is quite fat and it might be very tiring for the man to push him up to the bus. These people should help him to move the man in wheelchair up too. I think that after the man in wheelchair is moved up, the others will enter too. In conclusion, I hope that these people will learn to help next time if they saw such thing again.

My favourite hairstyle is to keep it short and neat as it will keep me attentive in class. If I have long hair, the long hair will block my view and will distract me. Keeping long hair will make it harder for me to wash it clean too and I will feel itchy which will distract me. That is why i prefer to keep my hair short and neat. I enjoy going to the hairdresser as everytime after the hairdresser cut my hair, I will feel good and fresh especially when I am washing my hair. I feel that CCTV will allow people to feel safe as no one will be fool enough to harm anyone under the inspection of the CCTV, therefore it will make people feel more relaxed. I think such devices is necessary as it will prevent people from doing any harm to others. However I feel that one should not just rely on the CCTV as some people may use their back to block the view of CCTV. In that case, the CCTV will only allow others to know that something had happen but does not allow them to know who did it. Even though such thing may happen, I still think it is neccesary to have such device as it will at least minimise such thing from happening. I also feel that they should not warn the people that there is CCTV inspecting as it will alert those that want to do something harmful and they will look around to find the CCTV before doing it.

This picture depicts a scene of people learning to cut hair. The people there are using hair from dummies to practise their skill in hair-cutting. There are different expression in everyone's face. From the left, the first woman looks focus and i guess she is concentrating in cutting the hair and making sure that she does not do anything wrong. The second and third women are smiling with their teeth shown. I think they are very excited in cuttin hair and thus I guess that they cuttin someone hair for the first time since it will always be exciting to try doing something for the first time. The fourth woman is smiling too but her teeth is not shown like the other do. I think she is just happy to learn a service for others. The fifth one is being very focus too. On the table there are clips and a bottle of hair conditioner. I think their next activity will be learning to wash the hair as I see the bottle of conditioner on the table. In conclusion, I feel that they should all be smiling when cutting the hair as it will allow the customer to feel close to them. If they are going to pull a long face while cutting the customer hair, the customer may find others to have their hair cut.

Term 2 week 10 My comment on life

2009-06-19T01:02:00.000-07:00

I feel that life should be jocose and idyllic. People may mortify and even malignyou but you should still always be jubilant.

Term 2 week 9 Sports

2009-06-19T00:55:00.000-07:00

Sports should be a bliss to everyone including those that are obese. The lithe athlete should not discourage the obese ones. Some people have the gusto towards sports but was discourage by the others due to his or her size. If this continue, number of people joining the the sports wil be on the wane.

Term 2 Week 8 The best environment

2009-06-19T00:40:00.000-07:00

The best environment for me will be one that is sedate. It will allow one to eradicate all disgruntled thoughts. In such environment, people will be compatible with the serenity of the world around them.

Term 2 Week 7 Sally's Fate

2009-06-17T01:23:00.000-07:00

Sally was a child prodigy and an ardent music lover. She could sing so well that she could have become famous if she took part in a singing competition. However, her mother constricted her and heaped invective about her singing. Due to this, she was not confident enough and was still an obscure girl now.

Term 2 week 6 Doing your best

2009-06-17T01:06:00.000-07:00

It is inevitable that lethargic will cause someone to remiss in their work. If you have done your best, even if someone rebuked you for not doing a good job, you will not feel that bad. It is inevitable that one may sometimes tussle between being the best and doing your best as you feel that doing your best is not enough. However, no one is perfect and that is why being your best is enough.

Term 2 week 5 Greed

2009-06-17T00:29:00.000-07:00

Jane was a greedy girl. When people give her something, she would want even more. One day on her way back from school, a wizard appeared in front of her. He promise to grant her a wish. Guess what? She wished for more wishes. And she started wishing for longevity, wealth, beauty... The wizard had enough of her and started saying, "You can have all this after drinking this potion." Jane grabbed the potion and imbile it. She started doddering and to her horror, she had become old! She rue for what she have done but it was too late. She have to face the deplorable state she was in now.

Term 2 Week 4 Discrimination

2009-04-19T02:00:00.000-07:00

It should be universal that we should not discriminate yet anthropologist have reported many cases of discrimination between races. I personally feel that it is absurd and imprudent to discriminate. It should become imperative to punished those who did such silly things.

Term 2 Week 3 Inequality

2009-04-19T01:15:00.000-07:00

Although the society had said that everyone is equal, no one had the priviledge but sometimes things are maladjusted. For examples, those people bigger in size still go around bullying the smaller ones. It becomes irascible for the smaller ones and some even seek for mortality. What the people did to help is not effective enough. Such catastrophic effects should be neutralized quickly.

Term 2 Week 2 The Story Of Gary

2009-04-05T03:49:00.000-07:00

There was once a boy by the name Gary. He came from a single parent family. His mother has been using connubial stress as an excuse to scold and hit him at every little mistakes he committed. He started fabricating stories to delude her mother whenever he make mistakes. His mother found out and punished him severly. This causes Gary to demur at the appellation of his mother.

Term 2 Week 1 No Wastage

2009-04-04T22:19:00.000-07:00

There are many people in this world who live in destitution. Therefore we should not waste resourses. For those who are a scion in a rich family and live in an atmosphere of opulence that throw away food or buy things that they do not need, they should underwent a metamorphosis. They should ponder over whether the things that they are going to buy is what they need or what they want.

Term 1 Week 10 Stuck in school for one hour

2009-03-21T01:05:00.000-07:00

Last sunday, I went to school to take my Biology notes as I forgot to bring it home and I got a test on Monday. When I recahed the back gate, it was closed. Just when I was about to walk to the front gate, an uncle opened the gate for me. After I took the notes, I went to the front gate. However, the pesky security guard did not allow me to leave. He said that I went in from the back gate and it was the uncle's respoinsibility and I had to find the uncle. The uncle had actually given me so much vicissitudes. I was lugubrious and confused as I was supposed to help out at my parent's stallafter taking the notes. I could not tell how does leaving through the front gate or the back gate ca be disparate. After one hour, I still could not find the uncle and the security guard finally asked me to write down my name and leave. He al so warned me to enter through the front gate next time as I will be reviled by the discipline master. I was glad that he told me as I did not knew that till then.

Stickman Mystery

2009-03-17T01:54:00.000-07:00

I solved the mystery by looking into every corner of every scene and try to find out as many evidence as possible. I will also go back to the scenes again to find out more evidence as I might have miss out some evidence. By putting all the evidence together, I will be able to picture and guess who is the one that committed the crime.

Term 1 week 9 Human's mind

2009-03-08T00:06:00.000-08:00

Some thinks that human are the best compared to animals but I strife to that. Many mendacious humans was afflicted with megalomania. However some of these people are not that bad too. They will feel guilty and in order to exonerate, they will turn themselves in. Sometimes I feel sad for them as some of them are actually very clever and it is profligate for them to do such a thing.

Term 1 week 8 My cca

2009-03-07T23:44:00.000-08:00

Last friday, I went for cca and we went on doing foot drills. The Seniors deemed that our potential are still latent. They started asking us to do myriad of things, craving to make us stretch our limit but it was abortive.

Term 1 week 7 What I feel about people

2009-02-21T23:54:00.001-08:00

I feel that no one on Earth can be impeccable and one will surely perpetrate more than one mistake. People's mind is always fraught with thoughts that lead to their vex. One's life can be murky but it is one of the component in life to make us stronger.

Term 1 week 6 Secondary 1 induction camp

2009-02-14T01:30:00.000-08:00

i missed most of the induction camp because i went for math olympiad. when i joined the induction camp they were just about to start the water bomb activity. we started prolific water bombs and started the game. i happen to have the temerity and cupidity of spamming water bombs and bombed seven people including the seniors, end up being chased by them. Luckily the seniors are gregarious and did not persist but the others continue to bomb me although i dodged most of it. when it comes to water activity, we are not the least frugal with the water used.

Term 1 week 5 cca 30th zone anniversary

2009-02-14T00:24:00.000-08:00

During saturday morning, I went to st john headquarter for 30th zone anniversary. We enteres the hall and the in charge declaimed to us that there will be a large group of senior citizens coming for lunch and we will be serving them food according to our groups such as in charging of tea or incharging of food. Since we were early we move around in an nomadic manner. When the senior citizens came, we started serving the food and tea. Some of the foods are hot and in the form of liquid and I almost overturned it. To make things worse i had to bring it to a table right at the end of the hall. I persevere and manage to bring it there. There is a period of time when we got nothing to do and stood there. The sir suddenly came forward and scolded us for slacking and asked if we saw that some people cup are empty and wanted us to pour. However it is not our fault as the alleged grouping does not require us to serve the tea. Later in the afternoon they wanted us to perform in fifteen more minutes and precluded us from leaving the hall.

term 1 week 4 cca retake test

2009-01-31T04:15:00.000-08:00

In first week post, I said that I will surely fail the test and i did. Today is my retake. At the night before, I was planning to study for it and organising my time when I am in school but when I reached home, that plan is razed. Just when I reached home, I heard a stentorian music coming out from my house. Usually I like listening to music however this time, the music nettles me. I tried studying but I could not remember anything. Finally I gave up and get in my supine position and went to sleep. This morning I was on the way to the mrt station and i saw the mrt coming and scurried for it. Luckily I make it on time or I guess might be late. For the test, I manage to know the answers since most of it are think on the spot kind of question and requires daily practise to know the answer.

Term 1 week 3 Archery course last lesson

2009-01-24T19:27:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went for my 2nd and the last archery course. It was cryptic that they suddenly changed the venue to a community club at near paya lebar. I surmise that it means I can curtail the time needed to reach the destination. During this session, I finally managed to permeate the strength needed to my back and and arms instead of just my arms. However the first shot was a disaster. The string hit my arms when I released it and it hurts. To prevent jeopardizing my arm from getting hit a secong time, I pull the arm guard higher.

Can one improve his or her english skills?

2009-01-21T20:13:00.000-08:00

I strongly agree that we can improve our english skills as everything on this world can be improved. For instance, english can be improved through more usage, reading. Using it more includes using it properly during your speech. By doing this, you will get used to speaking proper english and since when we are writing, we will usually write it in the way we will say it, this will help us to prevent using broken english during our writing. By reading more we can learn more vocaburary, allowing us to have more choice of words when we are using it such as when we are writing an essay.

Term 1 week 2 Archery Course

2009-01-17T15:10:00.000-08:00

This morning, I woke up early in the morning to go to Yishun Junior Collegue for archery course for NYAA silver. Not long after the course started, the instructor told us that the whole course had truncated from four session, eight hours each to two session, four hours each. This is because instead of sharing the bow, we will each use one bow. He also told us that we will have a theory test which is something anathema and a pratical test which is integral to get the silver award. When it comes to theory paper or something of that ilk, I will always become timorous.

Term 1 week 1 I do not know much about computer

2009-01-17T14:50:00.000-08:00

I am always zealous when it comes to things related to computer however I do not know much about it due to none of my family knowing anything about it. Therefore whenever I need to use the computer to do things new to me, I will become garbled. When someone tries to teach me, it usually took a longer time and sometimes even fruitless. Since i do not know much about computer and I had quite a few experience of almost spoiling it, I became meticulous at it, end up not daring to try anything new. Even though I might currently be not good in computer, I am sanguine that I can be better at it.

Week 1

2009-01-10T22:17:00.000-08:00

Yesterday i went for a test regarding my cca and I had prognosticated that I am going to fail it. From what I was told, they will test us from a file of wordsheets but when i was sitting for the test, some of the high marks question did not come from the wordsheets and I do not understand what they mean by that question. To compound to it, I forgot some of it that is from the wordsheets too, in the the end my answer sheet was replete with blanks. After the test, I asked my friends about those questions and they said that they just write down what they perceive it to be.I guess I will need to have the drudgery of studying for the re-test.
