Warning: Pictures in next post | Part 1

Hey guys, here is a little warning. The next post I'm going to set up will only have pictures with descriptions (captions) underneath. Now in what will the pictures tell? You're about to find out. Oh yeah, and I'm already well with no fever okay, so don't shriek at me for going there when I was still sick.

See, today I went to the Sports Carnival @ Yishun. It was pretty..okay. 60% boring but 40% fun, I guess in my opinion (see I did a lot of walking around and there was a long line for all games but we'll get there later). When we (my dad, eldest sister and me) entered, there was a lot of people. We walked...and got spotted by the Evergreen teachers (my dad's friends. He teaches in evergreen secondary, thank you very much). Then there was a lot of introduction and after that, photos. I'll show you that in part 2. Then this man came up the stage in front of the stadium (everyone was standing on the grass that the track surrounded. The stage was on the track. Like half-on track, half-out of track and at the entrance part, so don't think it was near)and he shouted something like "Lets do some exercise, people!". Then music started, exercise-kind-of-like music. Then we did a series of exercises. After about ten to fifteen minutes, it stopped and everybody clapped. Then the carnival began. Before we even went to any game-stalls though, we went outside of the stadium to drink some milo. There was a van outside there that let people drink milo if they wanted, see. Part of the carnival. Then we went back inside and explored. We saw the games, but we didn't play because as I mentioned, there were long lines. We then queued up for the goodie bags, then we went to see the adult games. They were totally wacky. One was that kind of table football only on the ground and every player has to try to get the ball in their opponent's goal. They wore belts that symbolised which team they were in. The other one was some kind of..volleyball? I don't know, but it looked like it. After that, my dad took a few brochures, talked with his friend and then we sailed to the carpark and drove back home. Time has travelled until now where I am typing this post. Well, this is the end and next shalll be photos.

Cheerio! =)

Reading

My answers to Mdm Phua's latest blog post, reading. Starting from now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I think it is to not only get them silent but to enhance their english and get their brain working. Is that it?

2. I do. Its fun to read because its interesting and I get to learn new words and see magic words (and I mean spell-casting) such as e.g. Brisingr, Adurna risa, Letta, etc..

3. I like reading. It has some peace and quiet and you just drown into your book and you are immediately in the world of fiction and fantasy. Go figure.

4. I like to read fiction and fantasy books. A lot of imagination is allowed, even if its without pictures, it still allows imagination. You dont really need pictures to imagine, you know.

5. Maybe. Maybe not. Different people, different paths and different work of brain. Smart people, yes, because they'd think and know they learnt a lot more, slouchy and lazy people, no, because they'd think the book is just a source of fun and never think they learn anything new.

6. With posters saying "Hey! Read your book and we'll guarantee you drown into a world of fantasy!" or "Read your book and you'll get a reward: knowledge!". Something like that I guess. Or the school could put a divider in the hall, one side for playing and another for reading. But the playing side could be filled with some boring stuff, and the kids start to realise reaading is more fun than playing there and soon the reading side would be full. Not very bright, but its average.

7. I should say that you can read the books from Eragon Series (Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr). Not many pictures (in fact none at all), full of words but otherwise dreamy and you can learn magic spell-casting words (though they might be useless). But I dont think anyone of you who is reading this post would go for it because.... its unnaturally thick. Eragon took me 3 days to read, 3 days for Eldest and 4 days for Brisingr. (I'm a fast reader, thank you very much.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are my answers. Thank you very much. Goodbye!

Extra Activities Inside School

Ok friends these are my answers to Mdm Phua's blog. Starting... Now!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Monday - IT Lesson and IT Sparkxx club. Tuesday - High Achievers programme. Wednesday - Prefect - Hall duty. Thursday - Prefect - Wii duty. (Cyber Paradise) Friday - CCA Drama Club and Wii duty (if I don't want to go home yet) =).

2.One day usually. But If you want the Wii, then I should say any day I can do that duty =).

3.Monday - 5 hours. Tuesday - 2 hours. Wednesday - 45min, but until 5pm if Cyber Paradise is open and I can do it. Thursday - 5 hours. Friday - 3 hours if just drama club. But if Wii is open then its 5 hours also =).

4.Monday - Lessons which I guess is compulsory. Tuesday - Lessons to help me strive higher & compulsory. Wednesday - I volunteered for it. Thursday - I volunteered for it. Friday - It was my last year's CCA and I'n not used to others.

5.Yes, because Monday and Tuesday improves my knowledge, Wednesday & Thursday improves my self-discipline (as well as helping-out skills) and Friday is to get my body active (besides, I'm an actress, yes, but I still need to improve right?).

6.No, it doesnt affect my work or me. Carrying on, go with the flow, you know. That kind of stuff.

7.No, I'm not stressed with it, you could say it helps me relax a little, though sometimes its hard work.

8.Maybe they should, maybe not. It's not my place to decide for them. Everybody has their own soul, right?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that's my answers. Hopefully not wrong-said ones. Well, bye!

Total Defence Day

Total Defence Day is coming. As Mdm Phua have said, this week's blog theme is 'What will YOU defend' if war comes (or something like that)? Hm... I think I'll defend my family. Some might say or object to this post, "If you cannot defend yourself, how can you defend any of what you want to defend?". I should say, "okay maybe you're right" and dump all these things and enjoy the free life while it lasts. But no! I love these things, and that is why I want to defend them! Oh, heaven and god only knows I'll die in the first try, but at least it could buy my family time to flee, right? And they could also help me fight. If we're lucky enough they might not carry guns and we might win.

This is what I want to protect, and I'm not ashamed of it. I will protect it with my heart. I only hope others would do the same =). I have to go now. Goodbye my fellow friends!

My December Holidays

My december holidays were rather simple. Most of the time I, uh, well, played the computer. Once, I went to the zoo with my family, because my baby brother Andrew hasn't seen animals and the zoo before. When we got to the Zoo, the queue was so long it took us an hour and a half just to get the tickets. After that, we took the trail that led to KidzWorld, and we made many stops by the animals. Andrew was fascinated. We finally got to KidzWorld, and we went on the Animal Carousel. It was fun, in fact, better than any other carousel i went on before. Then we took a ride in the horse carriage. Then we went to the water slide, and the big bucket and top poured the water and some of it hit me. Andrew played near the edges. After we changed, we took the ram to the entrance and we went home.

Another time, me, my family and my grandparents on my father's side went to a buffet called Strait's Kitchen at the Grand Hyatt on my birthday (Dec 1)! But I was celebrating my brithday with my sister's one, whose b'day is on 11 Nov. The food was really good. I ate roti prata, chicken rice, and dessert. After that, about eight to ten waiters came with two plates of cake with a candle on them. They sang a birthday song for me and my sis, and placed the two plates of cake in front of us. We blew out the candles and everybody clapped. Then we ate the cake and after that we went home.

So that are two of my experiences in December. I got to go now. Ciao!

Guess what?

My holidays.

After I woke up at the beginning of the holidays, I jumped around and did a little dance. "YEAH! Nine days of holidays with NO interruptions, well, except the fact we have to get the house ready for hari raya. There's going to be a lot of moving furniture and painting!" I giggled. Then I sighed. "But then next week have to fast already. I hope I can make a full day!" After doing the normal things around the house, (playing with baby brother, bath and stuff, etc.) I, uh, well played the computer all day. But of course, stopped sometimes for a break that is. After the weekends, on Monday was the start of September, which also meant the start of puasa-ing. So at 4:35 AM the alarm clock rang, and the others in my room (which of course is only my sister) woke. But I was to sleepy I still slept. But then my sister shook me and I had to drag myself out. We had an enormous breakfast. Then we slept again. I woke up at 10:00 AM. After the usual things again, I did my homework. Then once again, played the computer and watched TV. On Wednesday, the moving oof furniture began. We had ordered a new dining table set, (which also means new chairs) a sofa bed, a new shoe cabinet, (because our old one was already scratched up and old.) an L-shaped sofa and a queen size bed for my parents. We had already done the painting, just have to paint some room doors. Everything was finished on Friday. I made the next two days fun and exciting for me, because holidays was going to end. So I had a nice 9-day holiday.

And that is about it I think. Look out for more posts and keep posting!

My trip to Darul Ihsan Muslim Girls Orphanage

OK, it all started out on the 25th of July, which I was sick with diarrhoea and fever and could not go to school. It was still 8:20 AM, so of course I was still in bed. But luckily, around 2 PM I was able to stand up and walk around, as I felt too weak in the morning. My dad and mum locked themselves in their room, and I'm sorry, I eavesdropped a bit. I couldn't make out a single word, but they were in a deep discussion. 20 minutes later, they came out, only seeing me playing with my Beados (its the toy that you create a picture with beads and then spray it with water and they will join together in approximately 10 minutes) and my sister on her laptop. (me and my sister have our own laptops, and I'm using mine right now to type this very post.) My mum called out to us to stop playing for a moment because my parents wanted to talk to us. So after we were seated, my mum started talking. She said "Tomorrow we are going to take you to an orphanage, but we're going early in the morning." Then I spoke up "What are we there for?" My dad replied "We're going there to teach you a lesson and that lesson is 'How Lucky You Are'." he said with a grin. "The orphanage said we could bring donuts, because they said they LOVE donuts." my mum continued. "Right, so has this conversation coming to an end? I'm tired mummy." I said. She nodded, and I packed up my Beados and took a long nap. I had a dream, picturing the orphanage. It was a bad picture. Next day, we were up early, or should I say my sister and my parents woke up early. My mum said I was not too well yet, and so it was decided I only went after they bought the donuts. So I dozed off again, but woke at 9 AM. They still weren't back, so I had some free time. I played with my baby brother for 10 minutes, and after that he had to eat his breakfast (He has no teeth yet, so he eats foods that are like mashed up. So I took out my Beados and since I just did it for fun, I didn't spray, I just make it, keep back the beads and make a different picture. Then my mother called saying for me to get ready. So I got ready as fast as I could. Then the van rolled in the car park, and when I went to the back of the van, there were two big bags with three donut boxes each. Each boxes had twelve pieces of donuts. So we were off to the orphanage, I didn't know the name of the orphanage, but I knew there would be a sign that will tell. And sure enough when we got there, I was surprised that it wasn't the same bad picture as it was in my dream. It was like a school, only smaller. And the sign said this: Darul Ihsan Girls Orphanage. The first thing I saw was the kitchen through a glass door, and I also saw lots of girls. The girls were wearing bandanas, and were playing. Some of them are aged like me, some older. So we went in, and the girls greeted us. We plopped the donuts on a table and told the cook its for the girls. Right then and there, the principal burst in the room. The girls stood up and bowed respectfully. Then they sat again and continued what they were doing. The principal led us outside and thanked us for the donuts. She also said if we came again we can also bring other stuff other than food. Then, as me, my sister and my dad waited outside, my mum went inside the principal's office and talked to her. 10 minutes later, we were back in the van and we drove home. We now know that not many people are very lucky, and we now always make we don't take things for granted. We have to cherish everything that God has given us.

The moral of this post is that NEVER waste food, or pollute and don't take things for granted. Once we do, we might never stop and we would one day lose EVERYTHING we have. And it would our own fault. So, I hope you learn something from this post. Thank you and keep posting!

Racial Harmony Day

Today I shall talk about the exciting day we had on the twenty-first day of July, Racial Harmony Day. That day, there were not too many lessons. In fact, you could say we only had two or three lessons only! The day started out like this: We were sitting quietly in the hall. After assembly, we sat down again and Mdm Phua announced that she will tell us what we will be doing through out the day. After she told us what we were going to make, where the games and food stalls were etc, etc, there was a show where some students danced a dance which combines all Malay, Chinese and Indian dances. We all cheered when we heard we'd have an hour for recess, because our usual one is only 30 minutes. After that, we went back to class and did some work. We cheered again when it was recess time. When I went down to the canteen, there were a lot of stalls. After I took a good look at them, I realized there were too many foods to pick from, and I had a huge headache trying to pick the food. So I just bought a sandwich and nibbled on it. After that,I went out and played game and took a picture of me wearing a sari, but I forgot to retrieve the picture. By that time I realized, recess was over. But I remembered that my sister was one of the photographers so I decided to just get it from her after school. After we were all quietly seated in the hall, Mdm Phua announced that we will watch a show: The importance of being kaypoh. It was hilarious! After the show, we went to class and made bunga mangga's. It was a very great day.

That is all what we've done that day and now this post comes to an end. Keep posting!

Cyberbullying

Ok, today we talk about Cyberbullying. to start off this post, lets learn what is cyberbullying.



Cyberbulllying is also something like bullying, just that it happens online. Cyberbullying is very very bad. It contains VULGAR, TEASING and most of all, HURTING PEOPLE'S FEELINGS.


You can easily spot a cyberbully in a person if that person begins to do things like this: taunting and teasing at a person, shouting vulgar and making angry faces such as >:(. That will straight mean that he/she is a cyberbully. Now you may ask, why do they become a cyberbully? Well, before they become a cyberbully, they had experienced frustration and had their feelings were always hurt. Then, that person gets too frustrated and hurt and no longer wants to experience it, they begin to shout at others, their temper always high. Once, in the online game Habbo, when I was in a room chatting, I accidently typed a wrong word and one person was fed up, thinking I was saying a bad word, and kicked me out of the room! Anger was boiling inside of me, of course, but I held back.



Now, how do we stop a cyberbully? Well, lets just say it a bit hard to know as nobody ever knows because they always do back when one does something to them. So I think the best way is to either talk to the bully or just stay away from that person until they are friendlier. So if you choose to talk the bully, CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY! Dont say things that will make the bully angrier. But if you say something to them, like "Why are you doing this? What's making you like this?" (which is quite alright) and they say "What does it care to you?","Thats none of your business!" or even "Why do you care?!" then I advise you to either end the conversation or keep going. Talk to the victims too, and find out what the bully had done and make a plan. That way, things will be easier.



Thats much of what I can tell you, but I'm afraid I have not more. I end this post right now and I hope none of you will be a cyberbully or a victim of the case. Be safe and keep posting!

Nettiquette

Yep, we're talking about Nettiqutte today! Okay, to show nettiqutte in cyberspace, you can just be friendly! Dont chat about ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING that is related to this word and the meaning of these words: Bad and Negative. To be a cool cyberkid, here are some tips: 1. Be friendly 2. Never do anything bad and 3. Be smart and think wisely before you do anything! Nettiqutte is really important! If you dont show nettiquette, you will NO FRIENDS, no matter how hard you try to make them and these are some words that also represent you: Discourteous, bad, unfriendly, and a CYBERBULLY! (Thats a clue to the next post) If you see someone that doesn't have Nettiqutte with them, give them some advice that if they dont stop, they might as well become a cyberbully and will have no friends at all! If they take your advice, then congratulations! You have become a good cyberfriend. But if that person still becomes bad, then just stick around them for awhile, because you are going to see that one day, they have no friends at all and cries for help. You can then be a cyberhero and be his/her friend and teach him nettiqutte, and who knows? He might become your best friend after that! My advice to all of you, ALWAYS bring Nettiquette with you when you enter the cyberspace. And soon, you will find that you will have a lot of friends and will never become a cyberbully, not even once.


I hope you like my post and I hope you learnt something. Another post will be coming soon!

My June holidays

Hmm.. I'll give the holidays 3-stars. My holidays were a little bit boring, but nonetheless fun because I get to go on the computer! That time, my father bought a sunflower for my mum, and I looked closely at the sunflower. Then I asked my dad whether I could do a little experiment with the flower, and because it was almost going to die, my mother agreed too. So, my dad cut open the flower and he showed us the parts of the sunflower, like where the nectar is stored. After that, we threw it away. I spent the rest of the holidays with my family ( Like going out ), on the computer and studying. I don't like vegetables, but I had to eat them anyway. But now, I feel as if the vegetables has made me a little taller. I'm glad about that :). When the holiday ended, I felt sad and happy. I felt sad because I've got quite used to freedom and wants another month of holiday but also felt happy for I can see all my friends again! I guess this ends my post!

Keep looking for more posts and have fun learning about cyberwellness!

Wish come true...

Yay!!! I finally got a Version 5 Tamagotchi. I just got it yesterday. Thanks to Deborah, I know how to play with it and but some of it, of course, coz I still dont know some things. Yesterday, I was at my Uncle Adam's, or should I say Proffessor Adam's, clinic. My mum said he had a surprise for us. My mum couldn't go for she was sick. So she called my aunt, because my aunt is getting married with Uncle Adam. We drove there, and while we were in the car, I was wondering if my sister was right, as she said this: " I know its gonna be the V5 Tamagotchi, because I heard them talkin about it on the phone last night ". I was so excited!! When we got there, Uncle Adam teased us, he said we must sing before we got the present. Of course, I saw the bag with the gifts, perched on a chair. When I saw it a little flat, I knew my sister was right. Needless to say, I was a good singer but my sister is not a fan, in fact, she doesnt even sing! ( Only for classes, but I tell you, she was one bad singer! ) So since I was the winner, I got it first and she got it second. Then we pleaded him to improve our subjects we were bad in. He said this: Ok, small matter. I tell you a secret, if you say you can many times, you can! But once you say cannot only once, then you cant do it! My motto is: Do first, Complain later. Then we left, as happy as can be. When we got home, we proudly showed it to our parents. And when I showed mine to my baby brother, he stared at it first, and then laughed at it as to say: Wow, thats cool! It was the BEST day ever. My wish came true. But first, Deborah if you are reading this, do you mind if I ask you a few questions at your blog? Thanks!

Earthquakes & Cyclone

Topic: Earthquake - Yep, today we're going to talk about earthquakes. Causes of some earthquakes are very dangerous that even more than 1,000 houses can be destroyed. People who does not want to suffer may find a good place where they cant see anything shaking or something like that, but of course, its not easy to find one. Hmm.. maybe scientists may detect an earthquake if they made some kind of invention... but right now I dont think they can detect earthquakes. We only know if there's an earthquake when things begin to shake, and rocks tumble down from mountains ( small rocks ). The last country to be hit by an earthquake was the country China, Sichuan. We knew there was an earthquake by a Singaporean travelling there. Luckily, he was not one of the victims. Do you know what makes earthquakes? Well, Underneath the earth, there are plates the shape of our countries. Since they're not joined together, they move around fast. And sometimes, one of the plates will shake so fast that it hits another plate, therefore an earthquake is made. Since Singapore is the smallest plate, it quite a distance from other plates. So, I think that Singapore will most likely would not have one.

Topic: Cyclone - A Cyclone is a type of tornado, but its bigger than a tornado. It is made by very strong wind, and like a tornado, its picks up people and other things and throws them around, which means that when they hit the ground, they might most likely die. The last country to be hit by a Cyclone was the country Myanmmar, Burma. There were so many victims, that some people were to be dead or missing. Many people cried for their beloved ones, and after the Cyclone, they named it Cyclone Nargis. Luckily, only part of the country was wiped out by the Cyclone, at least there are still people in Myanmmar. I hope there will be no Cyclone in Singapore!


And that ends my post. Sorry if its too long. I like to give as much details as I can. Dont forget to look out for more posts! Bye

Jogging.. phew!

Yep! The title says it all! I went jogging last evening ( Monday 13/5/08 ) with all the people in my house, but of course, only my maid and my baby brother didnt jog, but watched us jog. For the first round, I raced my sister. But eventually, she won. Then, I jog half around the stadium and then walked with my mum while my sister and father jogged ahead. "Mother and daughter, father and daughter. Suppose to be son, but Andrew is a baby and he cant jog but sis can!" I laughed in my heart.So I jogged for 5 rounds, and then we all went in the van and went to Esso to get some beverages for us to drink. We were quite thirsty from all that jogging. And went we got home, my sis and I ate Maggi Mee, whilst my parents ate lontong with soup. It was a tired but happy evening. Then we all slept. Thanks for reading this post and remember to spend some time with your family, k guys?

Hand,Foot and Mouth disease

Hand,foot and mouth disease is a very dangerous and serious disease. It can spread rapidly if you dont take care of yourself. When you feel you have these symptoms, fever, sore throat, loss of appetite or ulcers in the mouth, consult a doctor IMMEDIATELY. So, the doctor may say: She is suffering from hand,foot and mouth disease. Make sure she gets enough rest and does not go near any person, otherwise chances of spreading this disease will be high. Only you may attend her if she needs anything. I'm sorry, but she will have to recover in 2 weeks but if she is lucky, she can recover earlier. I have no medicine, so you will have to find a way to cure her. You and your parent will leave the clinic. At home, you might either sulk or write in your diary 'This is the worst day of my life because I have hand,foot and mouth disease! People who are reading this, PLEASE follow this. Otherwise, chances of getting cancer or even worse can be high and you could die, but I dont want YOU to! Please follow this for you health's sake.

What friendship is about...

Hi friends, I am going to tell you about friendship. Friendship means having friends from not only your race but from other races too. It is important to have friends otherwise, you'll be the loneliest person in the school/world/universe. We can make friends by walking over to them and chat or play a game. Soon, you'll find you are friends! Singaporeans should be friendly to people from other countries otherwise, people will not come to Sinapore and it will just be singaporeans, no other people from other countries like Germany, Mexico, England, etc..... Hey, did you like the International friendship day at school? I liked it. The best part of it was learning JUDO! I think that, during the next international frinedship day next year, we should organise something different, for example, garland making? Well, this is the end of my post and I hope you have learnt about friendship.
