WEEK 6 : SCHOOL CANTEEN FOOD


I OCCASIONALLY EAT FOOD MADE AT THE CANTEEN. I DO SOMETIMES BECAUSE I AM REALLY HUNGRY ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY BUT I USUALLY DO NOT BECAUSE THE FOOD THERE IS NOT ESPECIALLY NICE. THE FOOD IS USUALLY COLD UNLESS IT IS BOUGHT FROM STALL 3, WHEN MOST OF THE FOOD IS PUT IN THE WARMER.

I LIKE STALL 3 BECAUSE THE VENDOR SELLING HER FOOD THERE IS POLITE AND FRIENDLY. SHE, UNLIKE MOST OTHER STALL VENDORS, HAS A WARM SMILE ON HER FACE MOST OF THE TIME. I DO NOT PATRONIZE HER STALL NOWADAYS BECAUSE THE TIME FOR RECESS HAS SOMEHOW AUTOMATICALLY BEEN REDUCED. IT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 20 MINUTES GRADUALLY, AND ME AND MY FRIENDS DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO FINISH UP OUR DRINKS OR FOOD THAT WE BOUGHT ( BUT USUALLY I DO NOT EAT ) .

THOUGHT THE FOOD ARE HYGIENIC AT THE STALL, THE CANTEEN IS NOT HYGIENIC. I HEARD ABOUT COCKROACHES DROPPING FROM THE CEILING AND LIZARDS IN THE BACK OF THE STALL.

THE CANTEEN DO NOT HAVE MUCH HEALTHY FOOD, AND I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING NOW. BUT I THINK THE SCHOOL SHOULD BRING IN MILK IN DRINKABLE CONDITION. THE MILK IN THE SCHOOL NOW IS DISGUSTING. ALSO, THE RICE STALL SHOULD USE GENUINE RICE, OR MAYBE IT IS, BUT IT TASTE AND FEELS LIKE FLOUR, AND THE RICE STALL SHOULD ALSO DISPLAY A LARGER VARIETY OF VEGETABLES ( MAYBE FOR JIARUI TOO. ) .

WEEK 5: COURTESY.

COURTESY IS AN ACT OF KINDNESS TO ANOTHER PERSON. IT COULD SIMPLY BE JUST SAYING A THANK YOU WHEN SOMEONE RETURNS YOU YOUR MONEY WHEN YOU DROPPED IT.

THE STORY OF THE PHEASANT AND CROW INPRESSES ME THE MOST. THE TWO MERE BIRDS WERE ABLE TO LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY, WHAT'S MORE IS THAT THEY ARE HUMBLE AND DO NOT DESPISE THE OTHER PARTY BEHIND THEIR BACKS.

OUT OF EVERYONE IN THE CLASS, I THINK YING TONG IS THE MOST COURTEOUS PERSON IN OUR CLASS. SHE DOES NOT TALK BAD ABOUT OTHERS AND IS ALWAYS POLITE TO ELDERS. SHE DISPLAYS THE QUALITIES ROLE MODELS SHOULD SHOW. I GUESS MANY WOULD SAY SHU YUN WOULD BE THE ONE, THE ONLY THING ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE TALKS ABOUT THINGS REGARDING PEOPLE BEHIND THEIR BACK, WHETHER GOOD OR NOT.

WE SHOULD BE COURTEOUS EVERY MOMENT. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO SHOW YOUR COURTESY TO OTHERS. SAYING PLEASE AND THANKS YOUS IS ONE. ANOTHER IS THANKING PEOPLE WHEN THEY HELPED YOU IN SOMETHING. WE SHOULD ALSO BE REPAY THE DEEDS ONE HAS DONE FOR US.

WEEK 3:?

WEEK 4: FRIENDSHIP.

WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP? FRIENDSHIP IS A CLOSE-NESS THAT BRING TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TOGETHER NEVER SEPERABLE. WHEN THE OTHER IS HURT, THEY WOULD RUSH OVER AND THAT IMMEDIATE INSTANT TO HELP, ANDFRIENDS NEVER ALOW THE OTHER PARTY TO GET HURT.

FRIENDSHIP IS IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US. IF YOU ARE A LONER, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING : I'M FINE ON MY OWN. BUT YOU WHEN YOU HAVE FRIENDS, YOU WILL FEEL THAT YOUR LIFE IS MORE COLOURFUL THAN BEFORE.

FRIENDSHIP CAN START IN ANYWAY, SOME START BY QUARRELS, SOME IN CHATS.

FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN COUNTRIES ARE ALSO IMPORTANT. IF COUNTRIES HAVE CONFLICTS WITH EACH OTHER, EXAMPLE SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA, THEN MALAYSIA WOULD STOP THEIR SUPPLY OF WATER AND THEY MIGHT EVEN START WAR WITH US, THEN THE CITIZEN OF OUR COUNTRY WILL SUFFER.


A FEW DAYS BACK, OUR SCHOOL ORGANIZE A SHOWCASE OF VARIOUS MARTIAL ARTS TO COMMEMERATE THIS SIGNICANT DAY WHERE EVERYONE COMES UNITED. THE MARTIAL ART ACTS WERE IMPRESSIVE. THE PERFORMERS WERE HIGHLY SKILLED. THEY COULD CARRY THEIR COMPANION AND THROW THEM DOWN, THAT WAS THE PART I ENJOYED THE MOST.

THE SCHOOL COULD HAVE MADE IT MORE INTERESTING IF THEY TOLD THE PUPILS THE HISTORY OF THIS CELEBRATION.

WEEK 2: MY DREAM.

I WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT.
THIS IS AN UNREALISTIC GOAL IN LIKFE BUT DESIGNING IS PART OF MY LIFE. I DO NOT MIND HAVING ANY OTHER KIND OF OCCUPATION BUT BEING AN ARCHITECT IS MY WHOLE LIFE'S DREAM. WELL, THE FIRST STEP OF WORKING TOWARD THIS GOAL IS TO STUDY HARD. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME AS I AM USUALLY NOT MOTIVATED AND PROCASTINATE A LOT, BUT, SOMETIMES, IF I SEE SOMETHING INSPIRING, I WILL HAVE A GUST OF MOVITION WORKING UP INSIDE ME, THEN THAT'S WHEN I HAVE A WILL DO SOMETHING.

DREAMS IS IMPORTANT. IF PEOPLE OUT THERE DO NOT HAVE A DREAM, THEN THEY MIGHT AS WELL NOT STUDY AT ALL. DREAMS ARE WHAT THAT WILLS US ON TO DO THINGS. IT GIVES YOU A DIRECTION TO WORK TOAWRDS. PEOPLE WITHOUT A DREAM WILL HAVE DIRECTION IN LIFE AND THEY JUST LEAD A MENINGLESS LIFE. WHETHER THEY HAVE A 1/100 OR A 99/100, IT DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL. SO, DREAMS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS OUR LIFE.

THIS WEEK, WE WENT TO THE SMRT HQ(?). THERE, WE LEARNT MORE ABOUT BUSES, TAXIS AND MRTs. DID YOU KNOW THAT SMRT OWN 800+ BUSES, AND NEXT YEAR, THEY ARE GOING TO GET 130 BUSES. THAT'S THE ABILITY OF MONEY. ANYWAY, WE WATCHED A CLIP AND KNEW ABOUT THE ROUTES THAT THE BUSES GO AROUND. WE GET TO HAVE STICKERS IF WE MANAGED TO ANSWER A QUESTION CORRECTLY, I MANAGED TO GET ONE QUESTION, BUT STILL, I GOT IT WRONG BECAUSE I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH MRTs.

LAST TERM, I HAD REALLY AVERAGE RESULTS ( EXCEPT FOR CHINESE ) . WELL, THIS TERM, I WANT TO WORK HARDER AND GET ALL ABOVE 85 AT LEAST.

THESE ARE MY SPECIFIC GOALS:
ENGLISH: 85/100
MATHS: 92/100
SCIENCE: 92/100

I THINK THESE GOALS ARE QUITE HIGH AND RATHER HARD TO ACHIEVE, BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST TO REACH THEM.

THIS WEEK, WE HAD OUR CT (CLASS/COMMON TEST) , AND SO FAR, WE HAD RESULTS FOR 3 SUBJECTS BACK, AS THE FOLLOWING:

1. ENGLISH: 29.T/50 (B!)
2. MATHEMATICS: 39/50 (A!)
3. MOTHER TONGUE: 49/50 (A*!)

THE TESTS WERE DIFFICULT SO I WAS NOT DISCOURAGED, AND THIS IS ONLY A CLASS TEST, SO I WAS NOT SO WORKED UP.

WEEK 8: -NIL-

THIS WEEK, WE HAD OUR PHOTO-TAKING SESSION FOR OUR SECONDARY SCHOOL SMART(SMRT?) CARD. I HAD TO TAKE TWICE BECAUSE I DID SOMETHING WEIRD TO MY MOUTH SO THEY ASK ME TO ACT LIKE NORMAL THEN THEY CONTINUED WITH THE SECOND SHOT. I THINK I LOOKED RATHER HORRIBLE FOR I WAS HAVING A RATHER WEIRD SMILE. FOR THE PREVIOUS DAY MR. FONG SAID THAT THE PHOTO-TAKING SESSION MIGHT CUT INTO OUR P.E. LESSON, MOST PEOPLE IN OUR CLASS DID NOT WEAR OUR P.E. ATTIRE, I DID WEAR IT JUST IN CASE THOUGH. IN THE END, THE SESSION ONLY TOOK 5 MINUTES AND ALMOST EVERYONE IN THE CLASS WENT LIKE 'I'M DEAD' AS THEY DIDN'T WEAR THE ATTIRE. DURING P.E., THEY WERE PUNISHED BY I-DON'T-KNOW-WHAT-THEY-DID-TO THEM-FOR-I-WAS-HAVING-MY ATTIRE. AND THEN IN CLASS, THEY HAD THEIR SECOND ROUND OF PUNISHMENT FROM MR. FONG AND HE REPRIMANDED THEM SAYING HE TOLD THEM TO BRING, NOT TOTALLY NOT WEAR AND BRING, AND HE ASKED WHO BROUGHT IT AND DIDN'T WEAR AND PRIYANGAH(HOW TO SPELL?) RAISED HER HAND. EVERYONE GIGGLED. THEN MR. FONG SAID SHE WAS FUNNY, SHE COULD WEAR AND EXCAPE PUNISHMENT, BUT INSTEAD CHOSE TO BE PUNCTUAL BUT BE PUNISHED.
