Pre-New Year Resolution

1. Study hard and get good results
2. Not to play so much of computer games
3. Not to make parents angry
4. Get along well with friends

Now that is what I call a new year resolution... Haha!!!*

Tomorrow morning, I am going to Hong Kong, for my special + exciting holiday. Tomorrow, at this time now (6: 06 p.m), I will be with my aunties and uncles gathering happily together! I am soooo excited as you know, I only have two holidays in a year and I have to grab this golden opportunity to spend some time with my maternal side. Wish that all of you will have a happy holiday!!! *^^*

4 more days to Hong Kong!!! Yipppeee!

Yeah! Hong Kong, I am coming! Oh no! I still have a lot of tuition homework to do... What should I do? I don't want to bring them to do in the holidays... but what can I do? Why am I still having tuition after exams? I know there is a test called PSLE but I need a time to rest, like all other primary 5 children, right?

Haiz...Feeling even more flooded then in the exam period... Oh yah, by the way, I changed my blogskin (many thanks to my sister and Jean). You should notice that once you reached my blog unless you are blind (just joking). It has been a long time since I post. The time is 11: 29pm (at night) and my mother and sister are watching television while I am 'talking' to you. I am going to Pasir Ris tomorrow to have my breakfast (which is counted as my lunch too).

Let me tell you something. I haven't packed my bag for Hong Kong yet. And I am leaving on the 1st of december, so don't call my house or you will be there, with your telephone beside your ear, waiting for someone to pick up the call. Haha! Do you think this post is long? Nope, of course not!

It is soooo boring even though it is the holidays. Everything I want to do, I did. So there is nothing for me to do right now. Tomorrow, I have my piano lesson. Let me tell you something, extremely embarrassing in one of my group piano lessons (although I take one to one lessons, there are some group ones). I was preparing to play the song and missed the note. And I was like, sitting there, finding the note. And finally, I found it of course. But it was like totally blushing for me, because there was a lot of students there listening and... just humiliating.

Ok now, I have to stop or else I am going to turn blind, starring at the screen for the whole day. Bye!* ~Signing off~*

Home tuition...

I am waiting now... waiting for my tuition teacher. I like home tuition instead of going to the tuition center. These are some reasons why I prefer home tuition to tuition centers (below).

1. I don't need to walk so far to the tuition center where it is located at East Point Mall.
2. This teacher is better than the teacher at the tuition center.
3. This teacher goes through the work I did in advance after I finished it.
4. Can concentrate better.

Two hours passed by...

Hi! My tuition ended just now. It was good. The teacher, named Miss Clarice, was friendly. I like her and the tuition. Haha... Although there are a lot of work to do, I still like it. Bye! Got to do homework!

Teacher’s Day…

Wow! Finally, the teachers could be happy this one time (and no more chances to) and enjoy their day! I am sure that they will receive lots of presents from their ‘Santa clause’ pupils (and fortunately, I am one of them. So the teachers will have one present secured!). Do all of you choose the present your teacher likes?

Oh! How I wished that children’s day will be coming soon! So, what did all of you buy for your beloved teacher? If you think that the present for your teacher is not very nice or you think that the teacher will not like it, you are wrong! Because it is the heart that counts, right? I am sure that your teacher will be happy no matter the present is pretty or ugly (sorry to say that!).

Well, I got to go now! Need to revise for SA2! Bye!

After three terms...

Three terms have flown away and now, what I got was all those knowledge that teachers gave us. After the three terms, I felt that I have learnt a lot of useful things and I think I am cleverer now (as compared to Term 1). I have learnt to cooperate with others and work as a team when we need to. And furthermore, we need to discuss together in a group to work smoothly.

We experienced plenty of things in this three terms, and the things that I learnt are not only Science terms, English, Mathematical sums, and Chinese words, but a lot of life skills that we could apply not only now but in the future too.

I will always remember what Miss Chia and Mrs. Lim have taught me. They will always accompany me when there are difficulties 'welcoming' me...

Can anyone just kill me?

Well, exams are over. I did not get what I wanted to achieve... I felt so sad now... I know that some of my friends in the class (5A) did not really get what they wanted too. That’s the same case as me.

Actually we all should think positively and try to find out why didn't we get what we wanted to? Just remember, there is always a tomorrow and the only person that can bright your tomorrow is yourself. Try to bright yourself up, don't be unhappy. Work harder next time. I know that all of you can do that, right?

...

Does anyone want to know what I was thinking just now? I was thinking whether to drown myself into the toilet bowl or to jump down from the eighth level of my condominium... T.T

You will not understand how horrible I felt now when I remembered what I scored... So everyone who is reading this post, think brightly, okay? See you.

Scenario 2:

As usual, Tommy had forgotten to do his homework again. It was his fifth time in the week. Yesterday he had a big scolding form his form teacher, Mrs. Stern. She threatened to send him for caning if he would forget again. When Tommy reported to her that he had forgotten again, Mrs. Stern brought him to a room. After ten minutes, there was a loud scream. Tommy ran out crying. He was holding a long and thick cane in his hand.

In the room:

“Tommy, why did you forget to bring your homework again? You are going to get caning from me today!” Mrs. Stern said to Tommy with rage and fury, brandishing the threatening cane in her palms.

“Sorry teacher, I promise you I will bring it tomorrow! Please don’t cane me…” Tommy pleaded for mercy as he sobbed, tears started to trickle down his cheeks.

“I don’t want any empty promises to be made. Now come here.” Mrs. Stern bellowed in a thunderous tone, ready to cane Tommy.

Suddenly, a gigantic cockroach flew into the room, swooping towards Mrs. Stern. “Ah! Ah! Help!” Mrs. Stern yelled her lungs out, stomping her feet on the ground and waving the cane around, trying in vain to scare the cockroach away.

Tommy took this golden opportunity and snatched the cane from Mrs. Stern. “I got the cane! I got the cane! “Tommy whacked hardly on Mrs. Stern and turned to run away.

“Sorry, Mrs. Stern. I can’t control myself…”Tommy cried regretfully as he fled from the room with the cane, hearing Mrs. Stern’s hysterical and frantic screams.

Hey! New Term…

Whoa! Can you believe it? The term break which is named as holiday had already been forced to be thrown into the rubbish bin. But, I do really miss it! Do all of you in the same state at me- missing this term break?

I have a lot to share! Well, let’s start with my trip to San Francisco. I went on to an airplane which I have stay over night on. After that, I finally reached my first destination! My Uncle and Aunt fetched us to their home- which has a huge garden and is a two storey ‘bungalow’. Then we went to a huge supermarket and bought a lot of things for our trip to Los Angeles. We bought a pack of water, in bottles, and there are about 90 bottles.

The next day, we went to Fishermen Wharf! There were a lot of things to shop when we were walking along the shops opposite the fishermen wharf. We had lunch at the In-N-Out Burger! It was delicious! The meat is not like those in McDonalds and Burger King. The meat is really fresh cooked. The bread uses sponge flour and when you bite on the bread, it goes ‘crunch’, ‘crunch’. And the meat is very soft. YUMMY YUMMY! At night, we had an Italian burrito for dinner.

The next day, we carry on our journey. But unfortunately, I got stomach flu and vomit and got diarrhea! But we still have to continue on our exciting journey, right? My uncle rent a car and drove us to Los Angeles. The ride lasted for about four hours! Finally we reached! We went to eat dinner at ‘Subway’, a food store where Singapore has too. I only had a small chicken noodle. But I didn’t really have the appetite that night.

The next morning… we went to Universal Studio! First, we took a ride on the studio tour. We went into two studios. The first one was actually quite exciting. We saw ‘King Kong’s’ head popping out and got hold of a jet. The on the other side, we experienced a fire! It is really HOT! Then we went through all the backgrounds which last time, those American movies used. Afterwards, we went into another studio. This time, the ‘car’ shakes from side to side! We were experiencing ‘earthquake’! We were ‘in’ a ‘Bart’ (which is actually train) station! Then, a train came smashing down and an oil tank too!

Our next stop is… you are right! DISNEYLAND! Whoa! I bought 3 dolls there! I am so happy! I played a lot of games. We even took a little boat and went through where all the princesses’ castle and homes are! They are actually miniature! And we also took a ride (on a boat) to the ‘Small small world’! It was fantastic!

The next day arrived, and we finally have to leave the Disneyland! We are heading for… Las Vegas! The place where people only know how to… dump money into the jackpot machines! We had our two days at ‘Circus Circus’, our hotel. It was very cheap staying there and it really counts as a five star hotel! We shop through four hotels and of course, we bought a lot of things. My sister bought a lot of key chains which she actually doesn’t have so many places to hang them. Then we finally had to leave. My uncle and aunt drove ten hours back to San Francisco. We started off at day and end off a night!

The second last day in San Francisco, we spent it at an outlet where all those sports sport were located and all the brands like Gucci were also located there. At night, we went bowling with my cousin’s friends. We indeed had a great time.
When we finally had to leave, at the morning, my uncle made us some Japanese soba. It was delicious! (I like to eat Japanese food.) We finally had to leave! Bye San Francisco!

And back to… come on, guess guys! Yes, you are right! And we are back to Hong Kong, but only for a week (because school is starting). My uncle and aunt brought my baby cousin to welcome us. At night, we had dinner with my maternal side. Then my father wanted to drive my youngest uncle home. On the way, I had a sudden stomach pain. I bear it for a long time before I cried and pressed hard on my stomach. My mother had a shock and we had to drop off my uncle on the way. We hurried back and I actually went into the stinky toilet for a long time. For the next three days, I went to my father’s office and did not follow my mother to shop. Finally, the holiday ended. And I took the plane back here, Singapore.

Here I am again, Singapore. I still had a lot work that I haven’t accomplished yet. Too bad, I just belong here.

It is a long time since we met again...

Hi, guys. Lots of things happened in Term 1 and 2. Like the Sa1 which had just passed. I don’t really feel like talking about that this moment. Tomorrow, there will be a small concert held in the hall for all the levels. We, choir, are going to perform with the Guzheng and Orchestra. I am really excited although I have perform a few times already...how I wish that all of you can see me (just joking)! Tomorrow, 9am, all the choir members will be released to eat and later at 9:30am, we will have to rehearse at the music room for some preparation. Then we will be performing as the second item and later at 12:30pm, we will perform for the lower primary.
SOMETHING HAPPY...
Choir had won GOLD for SYF (Singapore Youth Festival). That time, we were really full of confidence and full with pride that we can sing for SYF. We did not have enough time to prepare but we still have a few minutes… But, at last, WE WON THE GOLD AWARD... Our Choir master said that there are only 15 gold choirs in Singapore and we are one of them. Congratulations Choir!
Now, I need to go. Wish that I can create other post soon. Bye!

My birthday is coming…

My birthday is coming! It is 30th of March! I am so happy but I don’t think that I will receive lots of presents this year( I don’t know why, I just think that my friends have forgotten my birthday…). Anyway, when one is happy, his/her mind will be blank (like me)! Ha-ha!

Even if I don’t have presents, it is alright. But I only wish that my friends will wish me a ‘Happy Birthday’. My father will be in Hong Kong and he cannot celebrate with me. Too bad! And I won’t throw a birthday party because my sister said that I am already ten and I actually don’t need any party (she said if I have, I am a childish person). But I really thought of throwing a party… but my parents will have to waste a lot of money on the cake and other things. So I better not!

As my birthday is on Thursday, I will be having choir and will stay back until 3.30 pm. So I will get home late and maybe even cannot finish my homework( I don’t think so this will happen but perhaps I cannot finish my assessment)!

Ok then. This notice is just to tell you all that how happy I am!
*If you notice this notice, you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing. (Ha-ha!)
The sentence is a little joke! Don’t treat it seriously please and thank you! Bye!

Poem about my ENEMY...

Carelessness

Carelessness is my greatest enemy,
It is a pain in the neck.
The reason I always lose marks is because of it.
But I have a special way to defeat it,
Scroll down now and see how I did it!

Get ready your weapon,
And get ready your brain.
Before it really starts to ‘rain’!
If you want to defeat it (Carelessness),
Then keep yourself extremely fit!

Check twice or even more,
You will never experience bore.
Because you have a real big task,
If you don’t know, you must ask!

So now,
You don’t ever need to ask me how,
Just go ahead and hit carelessness to the ground!

Do you all like my ‘carelessness’ poem? Please give me some comments. You know, I am not so good in creating poems. So remember to defeat carelessness! Good luck in your studies! Bye!

Book review 1
THE LOTTIE PROJECT
About the story:

The story is about a girl named Charlotte Alice Katherine Enright, but she was usually called Charlie. Her new form teacher, Mrs. Beckworth, refused to call her Charlie but Charlotte. She even forced Charlie to sit next to Jamie Edwards, the most revolting, stuck-up, horrible boy in the whole class. Mrs. Beckworth assigned the class to do a project on Victorian period. But the clever Charlie wasn’t easily beaten. And instead of writing a boring report, she created a diary for Lottie, a nursery maid.

But poor Charlie’s world was changing! Her mother, Josephine (whom Charlie called her Jo all the time) lost her job. (Charlie was a single-parent child.) Jo finally found three jobs. The first one was a job from the supermarket (a cleaning job), the second one was another cleaning job but it is in one of those posh Oxford Terrace (the Rosen family). And the third one was another cleaning (but babysitting job) in another terrace (not the Oxford Terrace). Jo was going to take care of a five year old boy, named Robin, and that little guy was really shy. He always carries a filthy clothed robin (doll) in his pocket.

And suddenly things went all wrong! Jo acted weirdly lately (putting makeup and dressing up without any reason). And Jo was very close to Robin’s father, Mark. Mark is a nice person and he offered to take Jo and Charlie to the Red River Theme Park that Charlie always wanted to go. Jo and Mark went on a ‘car’ ride and at that moment, they kissed. Charlie told little Robin that Mark will abandon him (she was actually just joking).But Robin was really afraid that what Charlie said might happen. Robin is a single-parent child too. (His mother abandoned him and went away with another guy.)
-Going further about Robin’s mother:
Actually, Robin’s mother wanted to take care of little Robin but that ‘another guy’ did not want Robin to stay with them.

Charlie made a few delicious cup cakes with nasty words on them for Jo, Mark and Robin. She gave the cakes to them when they were having a picnic. The one she gave to Jo was written there: traitor, Mark’s cup cake was written: deadly poison and Robin’s cup cake was written: get lost. And that very midnight, Mark called Jo and told her that Robin was lost! He searched the whole houses but there was not a sight of Robin to be seen. Charlie was indeed very sad and afraid at the same time, that Robin might be lost forever. After a long search of Robin, the police officers found him at the railway station. (What happened was that Robin had had a nightmare and wanted to find his mother (she lives faraway and only train can reach there), so Robin decided to take the train himself). But unfortunately, Robin got a touch on pneumonia because apparently, he’s been slightly asthmatic and he did get very chilled. He took antibiotics and rested for a long period before he recovered. Mark was actually angry of Charlie because she said something bad to Robin but after Robin’s recovery, Mark took Robin, Charlie and Jo to the beach and built lots of sandcastles (he forgave Charlie).

At last, Jamie and Charlie became friends when Charlie had to go to his house for the Victorian Project (Jamie had lots of books about Victorians in his ‘library’). Robin became one of Charlie’s best friends. Mark and Jo did not marry and everything was settled. Jo with Charlie and mark with Robin.

-My opinion:
I chose this book to recommend to my friends because this book is sort of exciting. It is all about Charlie and some other reasons is that I like to read books that are like character’s diary or about the character and I like to read fiction books. Although this story is not true, it is a story of Charlie. This is really a nice book (I can’t stop praising this book!). Wish that all of you will like this book! Thank You!

About the camp…

The camp was average, I think. I mean it is not so bad but… how do I say it? Okay, I learnt a lot at the camp. We can apply them when there is a group work. I learnt that we must cooperate with each other in a team; we must be persisting and must communicate with our group members.

Actually, I do have some dislike about this camp (sorry to say that!). I don’t like it when we have to assemble at the main tent where group one (my team) got to sit on the sand. And there are a lot of ants (red and black; big and small)! I don’t dare to sit on it so I decided to squat. And after a few minutes, I need to stand up and stretch. I also don’t like it when we have to walk so far to the canteen and have our food. When we finish eating, and refilled our energy, we’ve got to walk back. When we reach the main tent, we have no more energy because we’ve use up all of them on the way… I don’t like the shower too. We’ve got to rush all along and we have to wait to get into the changing room. I am not clean and I felt uncomfortable. My hair surely stinks that time!!!! Ha Ha!

I like those games that Instructor Herdi (my trainer) taught our group. They were fun and nice. He taught us some camp songs that are not taught to us for the presentation night. He is a good trainer I can say. He is humorous but sometimes he is strict and fierce. I remember one time group one is noisy and we wouldn’t sit in twos. He decided to let us sat for about fifteen minutes before we play some games. So we got to wait till he decided to let us go.

The foods that are provided at the canteen were nice. I like the lunches that we had. They were yummy (oh! I feel hungry now!). The suppers were nice too. I like the Milo and green bean soup! But I don’t understand why the camp chief doesn’t let us go to the toilet and wash our cutleries. But it is alright now because the camp had ended! YIPEE!

I learnt to treasure my house more! Ha Ha! And I learnt to treasure boiled water. We have to drink tap water at the primary 5 camp. The camp chief said that 98% of the water is clean and 2% is not clean. I don’t dare to drink them at first. But later on, I have no more water so I’ve got to drink the tap water. After I drank them, I got a little stomach ache. I am not very sure whether it is safe to drink that water or not…
Okay then. I will end here and have a nice day!

Reflection on Term 1…

Term 1 is the most unforgettable. Why? Because it is the moment when I met some new friends. I have worked so hard to achieve good results for CA1 but what I got is not what I want… so sad. I got 75.5 for English! Can you believe this? I knew I will not an A* but can god a least give me an A? I knew I cannot beat last year’s ‘Best in English’ for sure. It is very clear, okay? Like what Seo Jung said, there is no point crying over spilt milk (but I really did cry over it at home. Well, I feel so ashamed now…). Anyway, I can still work hard for it. Nobody is born to be the best.

I have learnt a lot from Miss Chia. Like how to ‘be friends with your brain’ and lessons in life. I think I like Miss Chia’s lessons. My goal for Term2 is to get 85.5 for English. That will be good enough. From the starting of the year, I am just an ordinary Winky, but now (after Term1), I am a Winky who knows indirect speech and think maturely (haha). Now, in order to get better results for Term2, I will do my assessment! Good Bye!

The Camp is coming…

Hey guys! We have not met since the last post I have created (Valentine’s Day)… You may ask why. Because I have exams in school! The exams were not difficult but I got low marks. Anyway, today my post is about the school camp at East Coast Park (as what I have type in the title). Can you believe it? At East Coast Park… with only your friends and not your parents? In 2004, my sister had her primary five camp in school. Last year, the primary five camp in a chalet. And this year, as I told you, I will be camping at East Coast Park. Well, I may be homesick, and cry for my mother! (Ha!)

What are we going to do there? Sail boats? Build sandcastles? No way! But I have no choice but to go because it is compulsory. We must have valid reasons for not going. But I don’t have any. Tell them that I am sick? Tell them I am going overseas? Some of my friends are going to Shan Dong (China) so they do not need to go to the camp. So good! I don’t really understand why we need to have a primary five camp. Maybe they want us to know how it feels when you are not at home at night instead you are with your friends. My sister told me that I would have fun there but I am not hundred percent sure I will. Maybe I will or maybe I will not. Anyway, I am not saying that the camp is a bad idea… I am just afraid of… Never mind, so let’s call this a day and bye!See all of you in the next post!

Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Did any of you receive a present from a friend (no matter boy or girl)? I read the news on television regarding to what women (Japan)
usually do on Valentine’s Day. Women in Japan, no matter working ones or house wives, they will buy chocolate for their friends or colleagues (man or women). But in this few years, women don’t really spend too much money on buying chocolates for friends or colleagues instead they can spend a fortune on buying chocolates for themselves.

So do you wish to have valentine presents from your friends? For me I will not wish for… but on this day doesn’t mean it is only for those who are having ‘boy and girl’ relationships, right? Ok then. I got to eat my tea now! Bye!

Quotes are meaningful!

Do you always use quotes in your conversations with people? Yes or no? But what are quotes? Quotes are words said by others which are impactful and it is made up with a few words (like what Miss Chia said). I don’t always use them or maybe I can say that I don’t know many quotes (or I didn’t come across quotes)…

Quotes are good for us… some of you may be lazy to learn them or use them but I can tell you that it will do you good in the future. Miss Chia, is this a quote? (Below)

“A child who is afraid to ask may be a fool for five minutes, but a child who doesn’t ask will be a fool forever.”

Is it a quote? Actually I don’t really come across quotes. I mean… what should I say? Never mind, I can’t really express myself (I am not so social). I think this must be the shortest post I have type… sorry, I will try harder next time. Bye!

Everybody needs to taste the taste of loneliness…

What do I mean? What I am trying to tell you is that you, I and everyone in the world will all taste loneliness in their life. I have just tasted before. The loneliness was horrible! When I am experiencing it, I feel like so… so bored and… never mind. You all won’t understand… NOBODY WILL (not even my closest friends).

One’s feeling is hard to tell. Because he/she will think nobody will understand his/hers feelings… One of them is ME. (I think so). I am always worrying that what if even my closest best friend doesn’t even care about me? What should I do if this really happens?

Never mind, I know that what I say now, all of you won’t understand so I have decided to end this post now. Why? Because I don’t want to CONTINUE!
And bye bye.

What if…

- What if the Black Hole eats up the Sun and there is no more night?
- What if the Sun doesn’t shine anymore and people on earth with freeze to death?
- What if the Earth doesn’t spin?
- What if people extinct forever out of the world?
- What if we need to wait for few billions years and people will start all over again?
- What if we became apes again?
- What if World War One and Two begin again?
- What if Alexander Graham Bell needs to create the first telephone again?
- What if EVERYTHING needs to start all over again from the history?

But my father say, “We won’t experience all of that again and maybe there will be no Winky around anymore…” “And everything will change… we won’t go back into the history again…” On hearing this, I was shocked. That means I am not going to be Winky again and I will never see all of you again. What a bad news! I am a person who is afraid of dieing… you may think that I am as timid as a mouse but I can tell you, that when one person is in the greatest time in his/her life, he/she will pray not to die. Why? Because the person doesn’t want to leave the greatest moment he/she is having…

Actually I need to be more optimistic but… but I just can’t! (Sigh) Never mind, maybe all of you won’t understand the complicated me… Bye then.

Oh God! Please save my poor little live!

Dear God, can you help me solve all my problems? I am afraid that my CA1 (and the exams ahead) will fail for every subject! I don’t really understand what the teachers say nowadays! I am so confused about the topic on cells… and the Solar system… I always need to have my science textbook with me… if I don’t have it, I will forget everything and feel nervous! What should I do? In the first month of school, I was very free and not so stress as what I am now… I don’t really know my science well! What is cell membrane? Cell wall? Cytoplasm? Nucleus?

And my math! I am not good in fractions and lots… oh God! Please help me… I feel like a rubber band now! People pulling me side ways and I am going to SNAP! I don’t want to be a rubber band! I DON’T WANT!!!!! My English is always bad and I don’t know my vocabulary! I am such a disaster! Oh my goodness!

I am scared… scared that… that I will…will FAIL my EXAMS. Last year, I can be very relaxed but it is not like that anymore. I am not as free as last year!

What I want to pray for this year (2006):
1. I wish that I will score well for my exams.
2. I wish that my homework will all be the standard that I can manage.
3. I wish that I will improve in my English, Math, Chinese and Science.
4. At last… I wish that all my wishes will come true!

Fake Friends in School…

“What do you mean fake friends in school?” my friends will ask me. Actually, it means that I have some untrue friends. Those who tell lie to friends and when you ask him or her is it true, she will say it with a very serious tone and try to make you to believe him or her… that is what they are like. Actually, the more close friends you have, the more difficult to survive in the crowd. It is because some of your good friends may make better friends with others but I don’t mean that you should not make friends. Please don’t say that, “If Winky say like this then I don’t make anymore friends, just stay with my best friends. It would be alright.”

Well, I have a lot of good friends whom I have know them for three to five years. But I still can survive in the in the big crowd. I have a best friend who helps me a lot and who do you think she is? She is… Qi Hui! But that doesn’t means that Joo Yoon, Seo Jung and others are not my good friends. It is just that Qi Hui helps me and … and others. And I will always treat them well.

I will sign off now and wish you all, who are reading my post now, will stay good luck forever!

Are You a Teacher’s Pet?

Teacher’s pet… everyone want to be! Maybe some don’t … but do you want to? Being a teacher’s pet does not mean you are like the pets that people have in the pet shop! When you are a teacher’s pet, you have to help the teacher to carry books for him or her, help him or her to do the things he or she wants. But actually being a teacher’s pet is quite good, because you can always go into the staff room and relax in the air-con … ha-ha!

Well, if you ask me whether I want to be… I will tell you, “Yes, maybe.” Being a teacher’s pet does not mean you can get away with punishments or scolding (like what Ms Chia typed in her blog), which is a wrong way of thinking it. I want to be a teacher’s pet because I can help people as I always like to help people but sometimes if I am in a hurry, I will be impatient. (Sorry. If you think I am just boasting about myself that I am a helpful kid, it is alright because I don’t really care what others say bad about me, THEY CAN THINK THEIR OWN WAY IF THEY WANT!)

Ok then. I will take a rest now and see you in my next post!* BYE!

Chinese New Year (CNY)!

Wow! A few days later will be Chinese New Year! There was a small concert in my school today. Although I don’t think it is fantastic (sorry to say that but that was I felt!) but the pupils really did a hard work. Maybe it is because I have watched Chinese New Year concerts in my school for five years. I just feel that everything that happen today looks familiar to what they did last few years.

But still there is homework for all the chinese pupils, a composition given by Miss Lee. A COMPOSITION! So unbelievable! Homework in Chinese New Year holidays? But I think Miss Lee is afraid that when we come back to school, we might forget everything. Anyway I am still doing the composition. VERY BUSY NOW! Later I have piano lessons and there would be no time to finish the compo. “You can use your Saturday to finish it, right?” Friends may ask me. But to me I would rather finish the homework rapidly so that on Saturdays, I will have time to play!

School is a real excitement nowadays! We don’t know what will happen next but we always know that we will learn something after school! Wish you a Happy New Year! BYE!

Integrity???

Have you ever experience an act where you forego your integrity? Well, for me I have not (maybe). I don’t think I want to betray my integrity. ‘Really?” you may ask. I can’t answer you that because I am also not very sure myself. So anyway have you?

Oh, I remembered a thing that I forego my integrity. What happens is like this… Today, 25.01.06, Mrs. Lim told us to take a piece of form to fill in if we learn music outside. But as I am learning piano (no grade), I don’t dare to take the form. Why? Because I am afraid that people will laugh at me. “Ha! You are in primary five and you are still in grade zero!” That is what I am afraid they will say if I take the form... am I stupid? I don’t know… I just don’t want people to laugh at me!

Do you all think that I am silly about the thing above? Never mind, let’s don’t talk about that thing anymore. By the way, what kind of act do people betray their integrity? Like stealing, lying and so on. You can comment some acts too. Betraying integrity is not a good thing to do. Let me tell you what happen the day before (below).

That day, I was buying a drink from the vending machine. I put a one dollar coin into the machine and nothing came out... NOTHING. No coins, no drink! So I just stand aside waiting for the coin to come out. Then, I decided to go. But a primary six boy walk to the vending machine and took the coin that I put inside! I was a bit sad but I don’t think I can do anything. And then the boy walked away with the coin... And you know what? The boy saw me staring at him and he walk towards me. He asked, “You put this coin into the vending machine right?” And then I say, “Yes.” Then he gave me the coin. Do you believe it? A boy who is so honest that could return a one dollar coin to a girl like me, just standing there staring at him? There are really honest people in the world but only a few… A FEW.

What I would like to say here is that you all should not betray your integrity instead you should use it to help some other people… Thank you and bye!

How to learn spelling?

How much did you score for your spelling? Have you got a good way to learn spelling? If you got, please put it as a comment to let people try your way!

Well, I learn my spelling at night so that I could remember all the words I’ve got to learn. And I will ask my sister to help me to learn the words and how to spell. How many marks have I got? I’ve got 5/10 for the spelling quiz and 27/30 for the spelling exercise. Bad? I think so.

So here I wish you a Happy New Year! And wish that you will score great for the next spelling! Thank you and bye!

Friends Forever?

Hmm… how long do you think friendship can last? Two years? Four years? Ten years? Anybody can answer me? No? Ok then, I will tell you. Actually, I myself also don’t know how long can friendships last. Ha ha. Sometimes even a small little quarrel can separate two people who used to be the bests friend. I just know a pair of friends who break up all because of the word ‘ACTION’.

You want to know who it is? It is … no, I cannot tell you. It is a secret. Ok, I will give you a hint: you know that person (maybe). “Friends Forever!” friends always say. But do they know what actually they are saying? Maybe yes, maybe no. Actually, it always depends on the person. I don’t always break up with friends. Either I really hate her or she really hates me. It depends.

I don’t really think that friendship can actually be trusted. But like me and Joo Yoon‘s friendship… me and Seo Jung’s friendship, I think it can be trusted because we have already been friends for FIVE years.

So let me give you some advice: always think twice when you talk to your friends and don’t quarrel over small things!

Not to speak Singlish

Singlish, singlish… always singlish. Most of the people in Singapore speak singlish. But why? Because singlish is easy, simple and short. They love to take short cuts and just hate to waste time taking the long way.

When you compare an American to a Singaporean, there will be a big difference from the way how they speak. This is an example to show you what Singaporeans will do when they can’t hear what the American is saying (below): ~
American (tourist): “Excuse me; may I know how to go to Orchard Road?
Singaporean (passerby): “What? Say again please. Go where? Orchard Road hah? Very hard to go one leh. You remember, ok? You walk straight then turn left then reach ready loh. Actually hoh, very simple one leh.”

Sorry everyone, I know that what I have type above seems to accuse some Singaporeans who do not speak Singlish. Here I sincerely apologize. Sorry to say this… (I am just stating the fact about the example above). Well, I, myself speak Singlish too. Maybe I am too use to it…

People cannot always change their habits in the blinking of an eye. So we must try our best to change the bad habits. I think I need to change too. Or else when I grow up, the habit will stay with forever and forever.

And maybe you all guys should get all your ten cents coins ready… they must be always in your pocket. It will be very hard for all of you to change the habit of speaking Singlish. Do all of you really think that you should put this ten cents coin into the piggy bank we have in our class (5A)? No, of course not! Then I will be kind and give you an advice: REMEMBER! DO NOT SPEAK SINGLISH OR ELSE GET YOUR TEN CENTS COIN READY!

Hey Everyone!

Are you all afraid to be the "Speaker of the day" in Miss Chia's Class? Well, I am. I've got stage frights... (sometimes). When I am standing in front of forty-two people (maybe forty-one), eighty-four pairs of eyes... staring at me... the frighten me, I think I will . When you just got nothing to talk about... and when Miss Chia is telling you to speak up, it is just as scary as if you have got into a ghost house. Horrible!

Well, I should not say like as if Miss Chia is like a monster who is catching pupils to speak in front of her and if the pupils don't know what to say, he/she will get killed... but NO. Miss Chia is not like that, at lease she is better. She will not kill us... hahaha.

Wish that you will not think that Miss Chia , who created the "Speaker of the day" thing , only knows how to give you all work and work. She just want us to learn how to articulate. Ok then, I will sign off now. Bye!

This Year Is Simply Stressing

Lots of homework this year… anyway which student will like to have lots of them? Homework is like monsters, eating up every child’s mind. But by doing them can also increase one’s knowledge. For me, I don't like them… I just simply can't face them. Once I saw them, my head will spin …

This year's teachers are stressing us out. They are like blowing balloons (which we are in the same situation), it hurts. If they continue blowing… we will burst!
My new class, full of new faces, is going to be my friends this year. So I have to get along with them and we also need to help each other… Well, I have to learn from them too… not only from teachers.

I am very glad that Miss Chia is my English teacher this year or maybe even next year. My sister said that she is a good teacher and have lots of creative and wild ideas but to me, she is like a tap… water (homework) gushing out… LOTS and LOTS. But she is also very funny. And what about Miss Suhaila? Miss Suhaila is caring. and wonderful.

There is no change of the time going to school compared to last year. But I am always very sleepy when I came home. I feel like sleeping now…I am so tired now.

Well, I wish that this year everything will go well like last year. And wish that my results will be better then last year. Here, I bid you all a good bye. Thank you.

GSTS

GSTS is what Miss Chia has taught us, 5A.
G-greet
S-smile
T-thank
S-sorry
Miss Chia told us that to be a nice person, we need to do the GSTS. I think that GSTS is a great idea to teach people that we must greet each other and respect them.

Nowadays, Singaporeans don’t greet instead, they just walk past each other pretending that each other is invisible. “That is a very bad manners that Singaporeans have”, Miss Chia said. I totally agree with her. People must not have these rude manners.

For me, I have learnt to greet people and do the GSTS with my friends. I think that by doing the GSTS, I can be a nicer and better person. If I greet people, they will do the same thing to me. In that way, both of us will learn to greet each other.

And if all of us do the GSTS, we can influence people and it will go on and on so that the whole Singapore will be full of nice and warm Singaporeans.

Miss Chia also taught us how to greet people.
-Shake hands with each other
-Ask whether they are fine or not.
-Then, when the person answered your question, say, “Have a nice day.”
-When the person said, “You too”, you must reply, “Thank you”,
-And you have successfully greeted the person!

That is all I have to tell you about GSTS and HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
