Chinese New Year/Hari Raya/Deepavali Celebration

Chinese New Year! Could not believe it came so fast, but still have school. Went to school, with a sleepy face. Upon reaching school, I went to the washroom and washed my face.
Listened to the teacher's announcements on the stage. Then we sang the National Anthem, and the School Song. After these, we went back to the classroom for a lesson of the "Total Defence Day." Then the siren rang! Our whole class were shocked. All were antipating the next move. Someone spoke through the speaker, "Sorry, this was a mistake. Please stay in your class. Thank You."
Then, five minutes later, the siren rang again. Everyone did not bother about this anymore. Then Mrs Manon spoke through the intercom, "School, there is something wrong with level 2, science lab. Please evacuate using the spiral staircase. Thank you."
We went to the school field, under the hot sun. I felt faint. Why on Earth should i deserved under the sun. Thinking, if a real fire happened? What would you do? Stay there or go to the field? Make your choice. Of course I would go to the field. I would rather be in the sun rather than burnt to death. So everyone, do not grumble when you meet this kind of happenings. Think of the positive side instead of negative.
We went around the school, pasting the stickers for the five defences, "Social, Economic, Psychological, Military and Civil defences." Each of the defence has a meaning to it. And is important for all singaporeans to follow.
After that, we went to the hall and sat back for the Chinese New Year Performance. Had the some sort of street dance, chinese dance and many other! It was so interesting and I could not blink my eyes while watching as I did not want to miss a part of the show. All good things will come to an end.
I went home and shared the stories with my parents.

Growth Day @ Sentosa Beach

Well.. I woke up early in the morning and packed my bag. I had no time for breakfast. What a pity.. I did not have time for breakfast. I went to school with an empty stomach. A student conseller blew the whistle and a school of hundreds went to the parade square. We sang the National Anthem. And after all this, we went off. We took a bus from the school and went to Fort Siloso Beach.
They gathered our class, Respect 2 and walked down a path-very long path-to the beach. After reaching our destination , my friends and I walked around there. We went round taking pictures and joking around. This is really the most memorable throughout my secondary life.
We saw our school volleyball team playing against other school. Even though they had lost the match, but they had did their best which did the school proud. I was surprised by out school enthusiasm towards this match. There were cheering loudly until their sounds went echoing to the sea.
The games stall was excellent I say. The games were displayed well and attracted our attention. We kept queueing and queueing, playing and playing the same game. My friends were a good player in golf. They scored every ball when they shoot. For me.. A first timer.. I did not played so good. Out of five, i scored one. With perserverance, I think I would improve and show them what I have.
LUNCH TIME! We walked back from where we had started walking, for our lunch. The road was long. My friends carried the food and they are helping us. They provided us lunch. It is so good of them to do this. So I say "Thank you!", over here, though I never said to them, face-to-face.
After eating, we waited for at least an hour until we move off back to school. Now, my opinion of ITE is that, people who enter ITE still has hope in life. Do not give up! My primary school teacher once say that ITE stands for " Its The End". I do not think it is true now. So goodluck!

Personal Recount

"Ding! Ding", the bell rang.
It was history lesson now. The whole class went up to the history room and I started to talk to Wei Xiang.
"Eh bro, want to slack in the girls toilet?" I whispered.
He replied softly, "Okay sure. I go and ask Brian to join in also, wait."
So the three of us went inside the girls toilet, located near to the history room. We went in one of the cubicles and chatted with each other. Out of the blue, we heard footsteps at the entrance. We all kept our mouths shut, not letting a sound come out from our mouth. I peeped my head out and my eyes fixed on the person boots.
I told Wei Xiang and Brian, "It is just the cleaner only, don't need to be scared."
She started to knock on the cubicle's door. And shouted, " Who is inside? Come out quickly!"
I choked out a girl voice but failed. In the end, we opened the door and received scoldings from the cleaner. Her words were like a thunderbolt out of a clear blue sky. We stared at her dumbfounded. An eerie silence now permeated the toilet. Not wanting to get scolded anymore, we ran as far as our legs could carry us. A siren rang through the whole school. It was time for recess. We went to buy food and saw the cleaner, went about telling what had happened just now. One of her friends, confronted me when i was eating. She nagged and everyone beside me heard it. I felt naked and vulnerable. I went off and Weixiang and Brian followed. We decided to turn ourselves in. We talked to Mdm Tay about everything that happened and she was counselling us. We shuffled our feets as we listened. We were grateful that she gave us a second chance and it doesn't come easily.
Now, i have learnt my lesson and know what is right and wrong. I will never do anything foolish again.

Personal Aspirations & Target Setting for 2010

I hope that I can aim high and strive for this year. It is because last year, my results were just at the borderlines. So now, having a chance again, would like to score good grades for this year. Then will my parents be proud of me. Amongst all of my results, my history was the lousiest. I decided that i should spend more time studying on the subject even though i think it is a boring subject. I hope that my targets that i had set, would not go below 'C'.
