2nd part of September Holidays

The school holidays are finally over. Luckily I still managed to have some interesting events to tell. First, I went to Changi Airport for lunch, then proceed to Sentosa after lunch. I only visited the Underwater World and played the Luge at the Sentosa. After that I visited the Singapore Flyer and bought some T-shirts there.

Tonight I have to go to bed earlier as tomorrow is the 1st day of the new school term

1st part of September holidays

School holidays are finally here and I can finally relax. So far, I have been going for swimming lessons, attending tuition lessons and doing my school holiday homework. Everything has been boring, nothing interesting. Hopefully for the next few days, it will be more interesting.

Thought of the day

Yesterday I went for the Maths Olympiad test 30 minutes late. Although it was stated in the letter the test start at 2pm, it started at 1.30pm. I think they announced it during assembly but I didn't pay attention. When I reached the test venue, they were already doing the test but luckily they was still on the first few questions and I managed to complete the test on time.

This incident has taught me to listen to announcement carefully otherwise I may miss out something very important, and things could go very wrong.

I am thankful !!

I am thankful that I lived in a developed country like Singapore. Unlike other third world countries like Blangadesh, as they have no air-con, no proper teaching facilities, no much food to eat and live in a very poor environment.

We here living in Singapore can enjoy many privileges such as good education system, many leisure resorts like Sentosa, Flyer, etc. We are also able to use handphone. During their free time, they are not able to go cinemas for shows or MacDonald for meals.

So we should be thankful we lived in Singapore.

NE show

Sorry this is a late post. But there is alot to talk about on the NE show.

First of all, I was surprised when Gurmit Singh was not there. I saw him in last year NDP show.

Secondly, we were all drenched from head to toe due to the heavy downpour. However, my phone was not busted like all my friends. I was still able to call my mother to bring me some dry clothes.

Thirdly, I like hearing the gossips on the bus on the way back to school.

Lastly, I enjoyed watching the NE show very much even though is was pouring like cats and dogs.

World hunger

There are many people in the world who are dying of hunger each day. Most of them are children and there are about 25,000 victims of hunger world-wide. The children mostly are from the less developed countries. They are so skinny that you can even see their bones. They get their food from leftover food. I hope people around the world will realise these hungry people's needs and will not waste their food.

I wish I can help them by donating some of my food.

What I did in Week 4 weekends of the June holidays

On this last Sunday of my June holidays, I managed to wake up early to go to the stadium for my run. It was much earlier and the Japanese children were not there yet. I had a good run and I completed the 4 rounds in just 13 minutes. Just as I was about to leave, the children started coming in.

On Sunday night, I went to bed early to be able to wake up on time the next morning so as not be late for school. I can't wait to go back to school to play with my friends.

What I did in Week 4 of the June holidays

In this last week of the June holidays, I completed all my school homework. I also continued to attend the chinese oral class, which is a 2 hours session and had a 10 min break in between. I also did some revision of my work when I was at home. Since school will re-open soon, I packed my bag to get ready to go back to school.

What I did in Week 3 weekends of the June holidays

On Sunday, I went to the stadium to train myself by running 4 rounds of the stadium. At first I thought there would be not many people there, but when I reached there, there were many Japanese children around. They were attending football classes there. And I was annoyed as they kept kicking the balls onto the running track. I was so badly distracted by them that I took 16 minutes to complete the 4 rounds.

Next time when I go there, I must reach there earlier before the children come in.

What I did in Week 3 of the June holidays

I attended a chinese oral class for Week 3 and Week 4 in the afternoon. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I also attended a swimming camp to take my Gold, Silver and Bronze award for my swimming. It was awesome there. In the morning, we had our training and then proceed with lunch. In the afternoon, we took our tests. The best thing of the whole camp was on the last day, we had a buffet dinner. They also served us ice-creams and I ate 3 cups !! At the end of the 3 days, I was totally burnt out and very tanned. But I was very happy that I passed all the 3 tests and got my Gold, Silver and Bronze award certificates.

What I did in Week 2 weekends of the June holidays

On Sat of Week 2, I attended my tennis lesson as usual. But this time it was tougher because the coach wanted us to run 50 rounds around the court as warm up. Then we have to hit 100 balls each, then we proceed to rally with each other. Overall it was ok but I was very very tired after the lesson and fell asleep on my way home.

The rest of the weekends were spent as usual going for tuition classes.

What I did in Week 2 of the June Holidays

On Week 2, I didn't do much. I completed some of my school homework and my aunt brought me out for lunch. She also brought me to watch the show "Monster vs Alien". Overall, the show is not too bad but I still preferred "Night In the Museum" because it is more real-life and is funnier.

What I did in Week 1 week ends during the June Holidays

On the weekends of week 1, I continued with my tennis lesson in the morning, and then went home for shower and out for lunch. After lunch, I went to a book shop and bought some story books and 2 comics. After that, I went for my tuitions.

After tuitions, my parents brought me out for dinner. I also watched the movie "Night In the Museum 2". It was an interesting show and I enjoyed it very much.

What I did in Week 1 of the June holidays

I attended the Primary Maths Olympaid Programme at NUS from Monday to Friday 9am to 12noon (3 hours). What they taught us were :
a) Number Theory
b) Number Pattern
c) Arithmetic Progression
d) Geometry
e) Count by listing

Everyday we had to assemble in class by 9am and the lecturers will start the lesson at 9am sharp. Also we had different lecturers every day. All the lecturers looked smart.

We also had a 15 mins break after 1 hour 30 mins lesson. I met some of my classmates there. During the break, I would usually go down to the canteen to buy some french fries to eat.

At 12pm, my grandmother will come to pick me up at NUS and we went out for lunch.

It was fun learning the new stuff at NUS.

My favourite place

My favourite place is Sentosa. I like to visit Sentosa during my school holidays because it is fun and there is a lot of food to eat. You can visit Sentosa by various mode of transportation such as bus, cable car, car and monorail. Usually the rides are not very crowded and the queuing time will not take long. Usually I visit Butterfly Kingdom, Sky Tower, Underwater World and take the luge rides. I can easily spend a whole day there, taking rides after rides, visiting attraction after attraction.

Courtesy

I hear the word 'Thank you, excuse me, sorry' quite often. Often nobody comes to me to clarify a misunderstanding, we would just leave it alone and after sometime we will forget about it. If I am late for class, I would explain to the teacher why I am late before going to my seat.

I think courtesy means greeting teachers, giving up seats in MRT or bus to elderly and we should be polite to each other.

Creativity !?

I think it is true because if creativity can be taught then everyone will be considered a talent. For example, only one student in our class gets mostly A and A* for his art and craft. Whereas some students always get C or D for their art and craft.

What I did during the March holiday

On Sunday, I went to the beach and had alot of fun. I also cycled at the park there. On Tuesday I went to T3 (Terminal 3) and saw the A380, I had my lunch at T3 too. On Wednesday and Friday, I went for a swim. I had lots of fun.

What do you choose ?

I don't know, sometime you have to make a decision between life or death and you would rather save a life than a piece of jewellery.

Things I dream of doing

I dream that I could have alot of bucks to buy alot of game cartridges and consoles. And I could watch TV the whole day, and need not need to do any school work or home work. I also wish that I could visit alot of other countries with unlimited supply of money.

P5 Camp

The camp was interesting but some activities were quite scary like the rock wall and the abseiling.The others were .......0k. I wanted to try out the tetarak (milo) pool but we were not allowed to use it. The food was just ok.

My hobbies

My hobbies are swimming and tennis.

Are we stress ?

Yes, quite true, because I have to do my school work as well as my tuition work. I watched lesser TV shows during school term. During the school holiday, I have more time to watch my favourite shows and play com (computer).

My favourite cartoon

My favourite cartoon character is Pokemon.
