My first semester as a secondary school student

First semester in Hwa Chong 1I1 is finally over! I have enjoyed and yet again not enjoyed my stay.

Let's first start with the background of the school. Some interesting things that I have noticed of the school. Hwa Chong Institution is the biggest school in the whole of Southeast Asia, as quoted from the senior who took me on the tour of Hwa Chong on the Open House day. There are many additional pointers of Hwa Chong that I have noticed.

-Much trees
-Additional buildings in the school (not seen in primary school)

My favourite part of the school is the cardio-room, place that struck me the most, the second that I entered. There is aircon in the cardio-room and many interesting equipments.

Okay, now lets face the facts. There had been good things that happened, ranging from the first moment I stepped into Hwa Chong institution to the number of good friends I have, and I can readily name some.

For example, the moment I stepped into Hwa Chong, I felt blissful, as if I was sleeping on a fully coated leather bed ; it was pure bliss. Later on in the class, I made friends with my classmates.

Then, in early March, I started my new CCA, Wushu. Though the training was tough and tedious, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and slowly, I felt that my stamina had increased by leaps and bounds! The only bad think is that I reach home at approximately 9 on Tuesdays and Fridays, and have not enough time to do any revision at all.

There were many CIP activities. My favourite one was the Newspaper Collection drive at Taman Jurong neighbourhoods. The collection drive was fun as I had more time to bond closer with my friends that were with me. The nicest part of it was the purchasing of the ............... pancake. Yes! Come on, the beautiful, creamy chicken floss on the crispy, delicious pancake. Plus the ham, the ham that was added on top of it.

The problem was that as soon as I started to know about the true nature of 1I1, I never enjoyed my stay in it any longer. There were three annoying people in class, Darren Ho, Philmann Neo and Nigel Ng. They were constantly quarelling with one another. They even had fights with each other, causing the whole class to get into trouble after their fights. There would be investigations that would take place, wanting eye witnesses, taking statements and many scoldings and punishment would before.

Also, the class did not have a conducive environment for studying. There were too many quarrels, at least once a day. By the time the teacher finished scolding us, about 15 minutes would have flew by. That then led us to be the "lousiest class in Ispark Sec 1". (As quoted from Mr Tan Chee Wee).

Next term, I am going to :

- Be more attentive
- Participate more in class
- Put in more effort in homework
- Don't do last minute revision
- Sudy, Study, Study!

Blog Prompt - Courtesy

I agree strongly that courtesy begins at home.

One must first learn to be courteous to his/her parents. If he/she is not courteous at home, then he/she will never be courteous when he leaves his/her house.

Courtesy is cultivated at home. It cannot be trained by paying a fee. To be corteous outside, courtesy must also begin when we are young. Our parents have to drive it into us, so that we would be able to co-operate with others who are working in the same company as you are.

Who would want to work with a person that is totally not courteous. Courtesy is a very important thing in the society.

So therefore, I feel taht courteousy must start at home and when we are young. It is just like a habit, if not instilled into you from young, it would be hard to gain courteousy once you have grown up.

START YOUNG, START AT HOME!

Blog Prompts - Professional Sports Career

I agree and disagree that a professional sports career is short-lived . I agree because, a person with a professional sports career does not earn much money. The person would have to take on a few other jobs in order to earn sufficient money.

I disagree that a professional sports career is short-lived as the person might the sport. Passion and Skill equals to a very good and happy time spent. If one person really feels like going into a professional sports career, then he should follow and pursue his ambition.

If one does not like the particulal sport that is his professional career, then he should not even start that career. He would never enjoy his time and would be very frustrated every day.

So, I feel that I should not go into a professional sports career.

Blog Prompt - Losing your eyesight!

Dear diary,

Today, as I woke up, I found that I lost my eyesight. I always knew that my spectacle degree was very high, but I never thought in a million years that I would completely lose my eyesight.

Today, when I woke up, I immediately shouted for my parents. I then told them what had happened. They immediately brought me to the eye specialist.

After the check up, the eye specialist told me that I was blind. It was then that it hit me that I had never taken good care of my eyes. Now that I was blind, there was nothing to be done except for me to except it.

Upon reaching home, I had no idea on what I could do. I could not read, could not play computer games, could not even play basketball. All I did was sit on the sofa miserably, thinking and regretting for not taking good care of my eyes. Had I done so, I would not live in a world of darkness.

Luckily, I remembered that I could still type as I had memorised the keys on the keyboard. That was why I decided to write a journal entry to you, diary.

Dear diary, what should I do for the coming days? I really have no idea. Maybe I should just accept the reality and go join some School for the Blind.

ALWAYS TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR EYES, FOR WHOEVER WHO IS READING THIS JOURNAL ENTRY. NEVER BE LIKE ME. YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR LIFE!

Goodbye diary, I will be writing to you again.

Holidays are approaching and INCOMING!!!

Yea! Exams are finally over! No more revision, no more books and play, play and play! At least for a short while ... BUT NOT FOR LONG. SAD!!! This June Holidays are going to be superb. No more waking up early in the morning and no more sleeping late. Life is going to be 100% pigs. (Not Napoleon though.) This June holiday, I plan to do revision (duh ... that's a must. Everyone knows that.), go to the CC (that stands for Community club, not some wimp.) to play table tennis and go play BBA. (Its not Bash the Bui Arena. Sorry it is not P but B.)
