Opportunities of being a fruit

When I thought about this fruit, I did not only think about humans, but I also thought about the environment and animals. These are some examples of my uses:

1. This are used sometimes to make recipes, such as cake, chips.
2. This can be used to provide animals with food to remedy their starvation.
3. This object's skin can be used as a mask.
4. It's skin can also be used for skincare.

Now, i know that i have left out something... What could that possibly be?

Oh yah
THe answer
The answer is.............................

B is the first letter
A is the second
N is the third
A is the forth
N is the fifth
A is the last

Lets see, what word does that form, my amateur brain still cannot work it out.

Sorry, i cannot help you.

Work it out yourself. Bye

The fish

Yesterday, at about 2.00pm, my family and I thought that the weather was very windy and cooling, as it was just after a downpour. Thus, we decided to go fishing at Bedok jetty, to have "quality time" together. The ride there was about 25 minutes, and I kept controlling myself from bursting out with excitement! It had been quite a long time before we actually went fishing together. Adrenaline just kept rushing through my body!

Just as we went there, I realised that the clouds were dark and i thought that it was going to rain again. Just as I was about to get my raincoat, My father said that it would not rain, and he was right. Usually, when we fished there, we had to wait a long while before we could get a fish. I thought that it was going to be the same, but it turned out to be different. Just as I put my 2 baits into the water, i felt movement and pull immediately, a second later, both baits were gone. (By the way, I am not "describing", it was really one second.) Then, curiosity struck my mind as I looked down to see what exactly was happening. I was devastated. A school of fish were at the surface of the water!

Then, after my father put 2 more bait on my rod, I slowly railed it into the water. This time, I was aware of what was happening. I lowered the rail until it just reached the surface of the water, as the school of fish rushed to it. I could see the fish biting my bait. This time, i quickly railed it up and caught two of them. Now, I knew why my bait was gone the previous time. All the fish were attacking at once. The next moment, after my father put another piece of bait on the rod, my brother shouted I got 2 fishes! Then, my father let out a heavy sigh as he knew that it meant more work for him.

The fish repeatedly got tricked by us as we railed them up one after another. However, after a while, the fish seemed to get smarter. This time, when i put the rail in, they bit only a part of a bait and when I lifted the rod up, the fish would just drop back into the water. This happened the same 10 times in the row(I am not joking), causing me to be both frustrated and infuriated!

Just after this frustrating experience, my brother said,"Look how stupid these fishes are!" Then he showed me his rod and then i knew why. He had no bait all along and the fishes just got hooked on to it for no utter reason! Then, he looked into the pail that we kept all the fishes we caught and observed them closely. Next, he said," These fishes can it prawn shells!"
Hearing what he had just said, I took the prawn shells and used them as bait as the fishes still got tricked by us and got hooked on to it. At the end of the 2-hour fish, for once, we actually managed to get more than 20 fishes!

It was a really fun experience and I really hope that the next time the school holidays come, I would be able to go fishing again.

What the pledge means to me

To me, the pledge is a powerful equipment that joins the country together. Everytime i say the pledge, i feel proud as in the pledge, many good qualities are mentioned. This qualities inspire people to be a better person. This makes me feel safer as we know that if everybody in Singapore feels inspired, practically no one would do bad deeds, which means our environment would be safe and sound. Without the pledge, i would not be here today. One of the qualities include racial harmony. This is one of the most important as without this, singapore would have war within itself and it would be a corrupt country. With this, races in Singapore would work together and would be a one united nation. We must think back to the past...

H1N1- the vaccine race

As the H1N1 virus is spreading tremendously, we must protect ourselves more. We should practise good hygiene; we should wash our hands very frequently, and not share substances with others. From one case before the june holidays to much more than a thousand a month later, the disease is really really spreading rapidly. When a vaccine is made to protect us from the spread, the disease, as though alive, goes into a different spread, that makes the vaccine redundant. What i am afraid of is that it becomes a more deadly spread! From this experience, i learnt that we should be more viligent and alert at all times.

The NE Show

The NE show was spectacular. It felt as if it was really the real NDP.

Firstly, it was quite funny when they said that the prime minister was here, but when the guards opened the door of the police car, a boy, probably 20 or below walked out of it. The adrenaline in my body disappeared immediately, having me heave a giant sigh, due to the fact that i was hoping to see the real prime minister! However, the deputy prime minister and defence minister was real, it was such a good experience and exposure to meet him!

Not only that, we could also meet famous actors such as Michelle Chong, Mark Lee,Suhaimi Yusof and Veneta Lopest. They were so funny, it was like a once in a lifetime experience! LIke how they act in television shows,they changed their clothes swiftly as they took up different roles. Some of their attires were quite weird and strange!

I took many videos for the marching parade. When one of the commanders was shouting, I did not know what he was saying! The way they marched looked difficult, I really envied them. There were so many crowds, I really was devastated!

It drizzled almost every 45 minutes. I did many precautions every time it happened. However, the rain stopped less than 5 minutes later, as i could hear people hollering at me to put my umbrella down. The same scenario happened every time, until I felt very bad for doing that. Ithappened about 4 times, what really scared me was the 5th time.

The beginning was about the same, it drizzled just like the previous consecutive times. Suddenly, the slow pittar- patter on the ground became a heavy downpour. I was caught unprepared, as rain battered on both me and the ground. I took up my bag and umbrella, scurried away as the crowd was evacuating. It was really like a flood, the stairs was like a mini- waterfall!

The walk to shelter was quite long. After we finally got onto the bus and sat down, i could not sit down. my pants was drenched, it was really freezing! Just as the bus was about to move, i realised something, i had left my food, my goodie bag and my cap there. I kept blaming myself in the heart for being so forgetful.

After i reached to the school, i told myself something in my heart: to be alert, ready for a catastrophe at all times, and not be forgetful.

Life in Ancient Greece

If i were living in greece, I would feel very pain in my heart; for the fact that totally uneducated women are walking around the streets. I feel that the women really need education, we should treat every body, regardless of gender fairly.

It is really hurting to know that if the husband dies, the wife does not get to own the property, but instead gets thrown out on the road. If her child is a male, she would still be able to live in the house. However, if her child is a female, both her and her child would be thrown on the streets and probably and sadly, left to die.

I really should feel grateful about living in singapore, getting perfect education all the time. Even if you pay me a large sum of money, i still would not want to go there...

The Holidays are almost over!

The holidays are almost over, so I wish to treasure the last part of the holidays. With still a little homework not done, i feel very stressed. Not that I don't want to do it, it's that i don't know how to do it! School is starting soon, what am i suppose to do?

Except for this reason that makes me dread the first day of school, but I would really really want to see my friends again. I wonder if they have any physical changes, for example: getting taller, bigger etc.(I totally did not have) . I would also want school to start again as I gain much information from the school and we can learn it together as a class.

As I have mentioned before, I really do not know what I should be hoping for!

The Wonderful Dinner

It has been quite a while since i ate out. Everytime I hear people talking about how nice the food was in a certain restaurant, saliva would start dripping from the tip of my mouth. However, I knew that it was our turn to eat out now.

As my grandfather's birthday is soon, we plan to invite many of our relatives to celebrate his birthday together. We plan to eat out in a restaurant, which I think that he would like. I can't wait for the food to go into my mouth; I can't wait for the day to come!

My Holidays(2)

It's the holidays and they are terrific! Me and my family frequently go out together, I could even feel the feeling of going out overseas as a family! The part that we walk around together, do everything as a family......

Talking about the holidays overseas, I would really want to go on one too....... just that It's not save with the H1N1 influenza virus outbreak at the moment........ To me, going out in wonderful Singapore is still the best, clean green and filled with interesting shopping centres etc...

Not only going out that makes you feel good, but to me, finishing the homework that we have also makes us feel good; that we spent the holidays with full use and don't waste it and play all day. Holidays are so good, I can't wait for the next one!

The Trip to the Singapore Flyer

I really dreaded the moment when my mum suggested that we all go on the Singapore Flyer. All that seemed to appear on my mind was the horrendous incident that occured months ago. What if it ever happened again?Not only that, I, am scared of heights. Looking down from the highest point was already bad enough, what if the incident happened again?
When we were a distance away from the Singapore Flyer, I was thinking to myself that it was not so high after all, but a while later, I took back my words. When we went nearer to our destination, the image of the Singapore Flyer seemed to get bigger. When we were finally on the Singapore Flyer, and reached the highest point, the sight was incredible and unbelievable! I could see so many buildings all around Singapore....... I could even see Batam in Indonesia!
The ride overall took about 35 minutes to complete. I thought how silly I was to dread the opportunity to sit on this giant ferris wheel. It was so fun and awesome at the same time. It was a magnificent experience!

The holidays

The holidays have just started and I'm already so excited about the coming events and what is going to come out doing the june holidays. I plan to finish all my homework first, so that whenever I feel like going out somewhere, I'll be free and my mind would be cleared from stress.
The holidays are just so fun, I cannot bear to "leave" the holidays but I am also extremely excited to go to school again to meet my friends! This 'man-against-himself' problem is really driving me crazy. What should my mind be looking forward for, exactly?

The favourite place

One of the most favourite place to me is a music shop. In a music shop, there is a vast amount of piano books; I like to try new songs, as i would want to adapt and enjoy different styles of music more.
There are also many instruments in a shop. However, even though I would like to play different types of instruments, i fail to do so, so i would just get into the music and enjoy the songs played by other people playing muiscal instruments in the shop.
Overall, i find that listening to classical music makes me relax and get away with stress.

The true colours of creativity

We all know that many people have creativity in them, but how does that come about?
For me, I think that creativity can come in 2 ways: Inborn and taught. But, the result would be different respectively. If creativity comes inborn, you can feel that it is natural. Eg. drawing.
You would be able to tell in the sense that it is drawn gracefully and naturally. If creativity is taught, the work that comes out would have lots of creativity, but will not seem as natural.

Re. the excursion to Battle Box

Mrs tay, the picture that you took was quite meaningful to me as it has happened to me before. However, come to think of it, if you accidentally left your camera there..... and people came to look at all your photos inside it, wouldn't it happen to you as well?

Re. student's prayer

Mrs tay, I believe strongly that your prayer would work... although I haven't tried it yet. We should always believe that someone is behind us..... we should try our best for the coming SA1.

Nothing more important than my family

Without my family, everything would be a disaster. First, i can imagine the pain that all mothers feel when they have to give birth to us. Thinking of this kind of them, you will feel guilty and extremely sad about it. Without siblings and your father, you will be very lonely; with no one to talk to; there would be silence in the house most of the time..... actually without your family you might not have the money to even buy a house...................... With a family, even though there may be conflicts sometimes, you would have people to talk to , and you have a chance to express your feelings when you are sad or happy.

We must always be grateful to have a family. Although we might sometimes think in this manner 'i hate you' or things like that, we don't actually mean it-- we just get irritated and need to express what we feel inside. However, family members will usually forgive each other the following day.

What i feel, there's nothing, even gold, more important than your family!

During the P5 camp

As I had to practise for my piano concert, I just couldn't go for the camp. On the day when the P5s started to leave the school, me and some other pupils who did not go for the camp were asked to go to the library.At the library, I took out my tuition homework I had brought along with me. I did not manage to do them all on the first day but I did 51 problem sums on the second day!

On the third day, we were told to go to the computer lab. Mr Alan taught us about using the windows photo impact 8. Although it was quite tough, I found it interesting and fun.

To end it off, I really found it quite fun even though I did not go for the camp. Hopefully I would enjoy the P6 camp next year even more!

Hobbies and feelings

Although I am just an ordinary kid, i have many hobbies and also dislikes. My hobbies are playing the piano and playing tabletennis. Although tabletennis is really fun, I feel that i should become a piano teacher when I grow up as I think it is my no. 1 priority.

My dislikes are activities that got to do with height and also wormy-like creatures.However, I am trying to overcome these fears if not people would laugh at me when i grow up.

Stress Level

Right now,I don't have any stress at all, not a bit.I'm used to alot of stress........especially the end of last year as I needed to study for a music exam and needed to practise 3 times a day,each 1 hour.When it came to the day of the exam, I was trembling but when i came into the room i felt okay and started playing quite well...................
Anyway, i don't really like to have stress,but if it's important i don't mind. I hope to be like this throughout the year.
