Singapore Kindness Movement

2009-04-09T23:00:00.000-07:00

Kindness is a action which people will appreciate alot. By doing kindness, it will affect your life in a good way. It is called karma. Not only that, people will respect you. But also, you must do it from your heart, not only for the sake of doing it.

Kindness dont need alot of effort. Simple things like opening doors for people, helping people up when they are down or even saving people when they are in the right.

People need to be more gracious in Singapore. Not saying there are none, just that there are not enough. Some salesman and saleswomen are so rude. Is like they are not tought of being courteous.

Here is what the Kind-O-Meter say about me!

Apreciating little act of kindness everyday
Respecting public properties
Apologising when I am in the wrong
Voicing my thanks and apreciation to others
Initiating friendly conversations with neighbours and colleagues while in the elavator
Noting the help given by others
Doing kind deeds from my heart

The excursion to the museum

2009-04-09T22:37:00.000-07:00

On 1st April, we went to the museum. It was fantastic! I tought there would be a guide guiding us, but I was wrong. The was a device was HI-TECH and I did not think anyone would have tought of it. I is called 'Companion' and it tells you more about the artefact you are looking at. Just simply punch in the number of the artefact and the Companion will tell you about its origins.The 2 artefacts fascinated me was the Singapore stone and the replica of the golden staff the british held. I think the Singapore Stone carvings was in Sanskrit. And the EXQUISITE staff was made from pure gold and natural gems.
It was b-e-a-utiful! The casket was on my nerves! And look at the paintings of the brithis coloney and look at their badges! The shattered pots and pans was soo stunningly CARVED! I was jaw-dropped.
The fasion gallery was interesting. I cant imagine the oldies wearing the edwardian era style. I also learned how the olden days laksa, roti prata, chicken rice and many other food were created. Now I know why my mother says that nowadays food is nothing compared to the oldies. I wish I could explore more.

Earth Hour

2009-04-08T05:23:00.000-07:00

The global election between global warming and the not soo hot n cool earth. I think this is not enough. We have to co-operate to save the earth unlike some idiots cutting down trees and building more factories, what a stupid idea! Soon, if we do not stop this, we will melt the ice and we will we flooded. Imagine the innocent CUTE polar bears die. Who wil have such a heart not caring about them. I cant believe these sadists!
I think this is also a good idea to create awareness. Some people not caring and even not KNOWING. Hope this will end in next year.

After Class Test 1..

2009-03-10T17:56:00.000-07:00

Our Class Test is over!! OK, but, no time for party. Our prelim is coming up n we MUST pass with flying colours. I pass my CA1 except for my Tamil and I am really disappointed of myself. I put in ALL my effort but I did not achieve my expected results. I pass my Eng,Maths,Sci but I did not pass it with flying colours.

Many people says that u have to pass your exams, but to me, you must pass it with flying colours. I MUST revise, do more assessment, more papers and must have the mindset of getting good grades. Our prelim is arriving there is not time for slacking.

Good Luck every one!! =D

Education in Singapore

2009-02-24T17:08:00.000-08:00

I strongly agree on the article about our education. I think our education system is VERY strong as alot of country use our textbooks as stated in newspapers. I think many country depend on us for education. I think the skill of roting is quite a unatural way of studying and in a way it is a skill. Also I think Singapore's Education is quite challenging. Lets say Mathematics. The sums are challenging and also quite tedious. There are some people who is able to encounter the education difficulty. Many foreigners come to Singapore not because of its food and tourists attraction but also its education. I think our country is doing well is keeping up the reputation for its education.

After School Activities

2009-02-17T17:10:00.000-08:00

Every Wednesday, play soccer with my bro after schoool. Hmm..... I usually go to the street soccer court. I hope next Wednesday it is not occupied.... And yea, I dont really have a tution so I will go to my aunt's house every Monday but sometimes she might be busy. I usually goes to Yong's house every week either for a project or PLAYING!! At least every 2 months, I will sleepover at his house. THESE ARE THE BEST SLEEPOVER. Bye for now!

Total Defence

2009-02-03T16:49:00.000-08:00

Whats up everyone. Today, I will be talking about....TOTAL DEFENCE. Yes, this is one of the most important thing is our country. Total Defence consists of 5 "fingers". Here they are:

Military Defence: It is a must for Singaporean to defend our country.

Civil Defence: All Singaporean must know what to do when in emergencies.

Economy Defence: All Singaporeans must

upgrade their skills and work .

Social Defence: All Singaporeans must

live together as one nation.

Psychological Defence: All Singaporean must

have a mindset of protecting what is ours.

Now, what will I defend? A though question to answer. My family of course. They are more important then gold to me. I will do ANYTHING for a family. Now....What will you defend?

My Target

2009-02-01T06:26:00.000-08:00

Hi to earth and beyond, today I will be talking 'bout my target for PSLE. As you'll know, PSLE is one of the most important exam that can change your life. All of you will definately aim high. Reach for the stars. My target is 230+++. Some people might say you cant make it. But... DO NOT BE DISCOURAGE. We must show them that they are WRONG. Of course...You cant just sit there n say "I WILL MAKE IT".....If u do that.."U CANT MAKE IT" You MUST have determination and do lots n lots of work to improve on that subject. 1% insperation 99% perspiration. My aim is to go Maris Stella sec. I must at least get a 78 for Eng, 80 for Maths, 76 for Tamil and 78 for Sci. And every year, Maths is the most difficult subject and most of the parents complain about it. If you can do good for the prelims , you can definately do good for PSLE. Well, some people may drop. But you can do it if you belief in your self. BELIEVE IT!

APS Vision,Mission,Values.

2009-01-23T00:39:00.000-08:00

Our Vision: A school of Distinction Nuturing Futuring-Ready Citizens of Characters.
Our Mission: Providing Quality Education to Equip Pupils with the Values, Knowledge and skills for the 21st Century.
Values: Self-discipline
Passion for learning
Integrity
Courage
Ecellence
Sincerity
Also known as S.P.I.C.E.S.

To me, these are the things we must live with and we can achive our goals. Many students now adays are rude and do not live with the Values. Mrs Subrah made a talk about these things and I think she made it very clear. I have heard that some student argue with their teacher which i think it is wrong. Sometimes teachers can be wrong and you can just correct them. You do not need to argue with them. I think Pastoral Care is a great period to talk about this Vission, Mission and Values. And thats about it. Peace Out!

New Year Resolutions

2009-01-21T01:43:00.000-08:00

Well......My new year resolutions are:To get a 230++ for my PSLE
:MARIS STELLA SEC FTW!!
:An iPhone =D
:Sony Vaio....YEAH
:All the upcoming games I want for my 360

I think that's about it. Stay tuned for my next post, APS's Vision,Mission & Values.=p

Reading

2008-09-30T04:07:00.000-07:00

Ah.... Reading. Nothing like the source of knowledge and the weapon of getting high marks in English Tests. I really thing reading is important. Wierdly, I prefer reading adult books. In a month, I usually read about 2 books. As I said, reading is the weapon of getting high marks in English Tests. Clearly I think computer games are affecting the pupils while reading. I have mention it in the post before this post, the pupils will concentrate on the game on what will they do next in the game instead of concertrating on the book.

Hm.......How can the school encourage more pupils to read? Maybe by telling the pupils that game will spoil your education and will affect your life when you grow up. In Singapore, education is the key to a better life. If I were to recommend a book, I would recommend "For One More Day". It doen't only improves your English but it also tell you how you shuold treat a person. In this case, for example, take your Mother. I know some people treat their Mother badly. No necessary your Mom but your parents. This book tells you how much a person worths in your life. Actually this booking really touches your heart. This is the kind of book wat pupils should read. Not really pupils but especially teenagers. Thats for today.

Computer Games

2008-09-30T03:40:00.000-07:00

Hm.....Interesting topic to talk about. Well, I am sure everyone plays computer games. EVEN Mr.Tan does. If you don't, you're wierd. The most common type of games people play are RPGs (Role-Playing Games). Well thats the kind of game I play too. Usually I play this games when I am done with my homework and assessments. I sometimes hardly play the computer because my brother will be using it or sometimes I get sick and tired of using the computer and play my PSP if my other brother is not using it, if so, I will play my XBOX 360. Long story right, I know.

Some students usually search for sites with new RPGs with their friends and if they see the name of the game is cool so as the character, they will go like " Whaa, this game damn cool seh. Wanna play or not?" to their other friend. Of course I think games will affect your studies. And I don't know why am I playing it. Usually students will get addicted to the game and will think about it the whole day while their teacher is saying something important. I am aware that people are getting addicted. This is a problem when most of the people will face when they play the games everyday, everytime and every hour. When you are addicted, it will be the hardest problem to quit. Just like smoking. Luckily, I don't see anybody in our class addicted to games. Thats for all folks, PEACE OUT.

Sleeping..zzzzZZzzz

2008-09-04T20:16:00.000-07:00

Well, today's topic is about sleeping. Do primary school student get enough sleep? First of all, do YOU get enough sleep? About me, i think I get enough sleep every day. I will sleep at 10 p.m and wake up at 6 a.m. I will have 8 hours of snoozing. I will usually do all my homework right after I come back from school. And I do not have many things to do accept assessments and a cople of stuffs. My prents will nag to me about sleeping at 9 p.m which I find it too early. The more time you sleep the more attentive in class you will become and not so irritated by noise. That why your prents nags at you too sleep early which is good, but I don't really care.Remeber the more sleep you get, the less cranky you will become.

Cyberbullying

2008-09-02T05:40:00.000-07:00

Cyberbullying is plain evil! This is a message for cyberbullies, how do you feel if you get bullied? Cyberbullies hurt other people on the internet.And they feel good by doing that.If you encounter any of this kind of people,tell an adult about is.This is the best way! Do not deal with them by yourself,you might talk somethingthat is right....But the cyberbully might take it wrongly and bully you more.Remember, it is not what you say, is how you say it.Anyway, remember tell an about it.Cyberbullying is not cool, cyber bullying is only for fools!

NDP 08

2008-09-01T10:45:00.000-07:00

As you know, the p5 pupils went to the NDP show on 12 july. It was GREAT! Ithink the best part was the fireworks and the black knights performing their air stunts.The worst part was when there was no veges in the burger! I first was like "Did my veges fall out?" But I realised that others also did not have thier veges too. And the PM was a stand-in. That was so sad =( I did not like the NE show, I LOVED IT !

Rising food prices

2008-09-01T10:38:00.000-07:00

The food prices are rising up in our school canteen because of the inflation due to the economy. I read a two-page comic about the inflation. It says that the average percentage jump a year is five pecent. But now, the jump is forty-three percent! Thats alot. People are demanding for more meat and rice. Rice is our staple diet and we need it more than meat. The animals such as cows and chicken need rice too. Thats why we are running out of food supplies. School foods prices are also rising up accordingly. Some students do not have enough money for buying the food in our canteen and I pity them. At the same time, we should have better quality of food for a fair price. We should have more variety of food like in Mr Tan's school days. Talking about quality, once I ate the prawn mee dish from stall 4, I was in my bathroom, suffering from food poisoning, the whole day! I really think this is unfair.

Road Safety Park

2008-08-07T00:58:00.000-07:00

On 10 April we went to road safety park.It was great.I wanted to be a kart driver but everybody forced me to be the marshall.All I have to do was sign sign sign and more signing.And also demerit points demerit points demerit points and more demerit points.I like to demerit points.Quite a handful of people said that pedestrian was exhausting.I prefered to be a kart driver.Always.

My Ambition

2008-08-04T01:25:00.000-07:00

My ambition is to be an astronomer or an archaeologist.The reason why I choose an astronomer is because I can see what is the true sight of space.There is so many things in space that we have not discovered and some things are not meant to be discovered.And archaeologist.I chose this because i can know what really happened during the roman empire and so on.....To be an astronomer,u have to be good in mathematics and astronomy (of course). To be an archaeologist u also need to be good in ur mathematics and history.For most of the jobs,u need to be good in maths,like doctors,pilot and engineer etc.But I am still sticking to be an astronomer.
