NPCC parade

Sorry I did not post for so long, I have been restricted to use my laptop since it was examination period and my parents are quite worried about my results eversince I failed my science term test last term and the rest of the subjects were not that good, so I had not been able to access my internet at home since then. But I going to talk about my day at the NPCC parade on Saturday. It was quite surprising as I was the only secondary one student who went there to support my seniors. I at first felt so lonely since I was all by myself with the secondary two seniors, but I soon find myself mixing well with the seniors. They were shocked at first when they heard that I came with them and I was only secondary one, but soon accepted me and taught me some things about NPCC and told me about their experiences in NPCC. I found it interesting and learnt a lot. After reaching the Home Team Academy which was the venue, we waited a while then the parade started. The parade lasted about 1 to 2 hours and there was some entertainment put up by some schools. When it ended, we wen down and took a group photograph with the secondary three seniors who were involved in the parade and after all that, we boarded the bus and went back to Hwa Chong. Through this parade, I learnt quite a lot of things and I hoped that I can support my senors next year during the parade. Well that is all, goodbye!

Prelims for Project's Day

Today was as you see in the title, Project's Day prelim. My team, which consist of me, Mitch,
Thomson and Loo Jun Mun, who is my primary school friend and he is in class 1o1. Our project was about World War 2 and it is mainly about Singapore. When the judges asked why we wanted to do a project on World War 2, we explained that on the internet, the websites that explain about the events in World War 2 were mostly about the Europeans and lack detail of what happened in Singapore. Although they said that there already local website about Singapore's history, we were not at all disheartened as we knew that we could make our website more interesting and easier for the students, who are our main target audience, to understand as the information that the internet gives is either too difficult to comprehend or too wordy. We will do our best and hope that we can make it to the finals.

Busy,busy,busy...

These days I feel like I cannot just stop worrying about school matters. I have to do homework like everyday and I also have to do some projects. And sometimes when I reached home, I don't even feel like or have the energy to do my work. I should buck up and try to overcome these problems.

Homework

Sorry that I have not posted anything for a long time. I had to do a lot of homework these days and some more I had to do some projects also. I did not have much time to discuss some things on this blog so I may use some past issues to talk about, so you might say it is a bit outdated. But still, do visit this blog whenever you can.

Newspaper review

Hello!
Today I will be talking about an article that I read in the newspaper today. The title of the article is "Growing up too soon". The type of story is a millieu story. The reason I stated that this article is a millieu story is that the topic that the article is talking about concerns the female youths today in society, and a millieu story refers to a story that is the world which a story happens,whether that is real world or an invented one, it includes not just the physical world( but does include all aspects of that, such as geography, weather, animal life and so on), but also the society, religion, other people ad just about everything else.
Moving on to the article. What I feel about this article is that these youths are still immature and need to be talked to about this incident. Although they think that it is "thrilling" to have sex with their partner, actually they are just making themselves look cheap in society. They not only lose their virginity, they also lose their intergrity and they become a shame to their parents in front of others. Even if they did it for money, it is still wrong. Doing this is like they are selling their bodies to those pervertic men. They should treasure their body and not do this type of shameless things.
In my opinion, I think the teachers should really talk about this issue to the students as if the students are not told about the consequences of this undesirable action, they will be foolish enough to do it and get into trouble. The goverment should also give a heavier punishment to the people who commit the offence and run campaigns to inform the public about this.
I shall stop now. If you have anything to say or if you want to object to what I said, please leave a comment in the comment box( please do not leave your comments in the tag box).
Bye!

Apologies...

I am sorry that I have not posted anything on the blog. Please forgive me as I was preparing for my tests this week. Sadly there is still one more test which is the science test( I think I can manage) next week, but I will try my best. The tests throughout term 1 to term 3 is actually 30% of my total marks( if I am not wrong, I kinda forgotten) throughout the year, and the end of year exam is the most percentage of my grades, so I must work hard to get a good MSG!

Npcc life

Woah! Npcc is so tiring! We have to memorise all the steps for each command, and we have to do it with a standard. For example, when you lift your leg you must lift it in 90 degrees, toes facing down and cannot do the "horse kick" which is like how the horse stomp its hoofs. We must also do it in sync, if not the NCOs,who are our seniors, will make us repeat over and over again. Overall it is difficult but the teachers are quite fun. So it is not that bad.
