My SA1 results... =]

I am quite satisfied with my SA1 results. This is the first time I have had two A1’s. Everyday after school I go back home and spent my time studying. It has finally paid off. But I have failed my mathematics and literature. From the start of the year I have paid extra attention to my mathematics lesson. I do not know what had gone wrong. I still have to blame myself. But for the final year examination I have decided to put my 100 % in it. I really hope to maintain my two A1’s and also to improve my mother tongue from an A2 to an A1. I also want to improve the rest of the subjects that I might have done my average in. I also want to pass my literature to at least a C6. I wish I could at least satisfy my parents for the final year examinations. They were not very pleased with these results as I have had tuition also. But I would want to make my parents proud for the finals. Well, I hope with this confidence will lead me to success.

how i had spent my june holidays ! =]

I spent the first week of my holidays going back to school for extra lessons. Through these extra lessons I get to understand the topics that I have done badly for my mid-year-examination better. My teacher tends to go through slowly and since it’s a smaller class I do not fear to ask questions and I will also not be interrupting the lesson. I get to learn at my pace. The second week was not a very adventurous week as I stayed at home for the whole week and finished all my homework’s. I went down everyday to get my lunch at the nearest coffee shop. The third week was a little fun. My relatives and I went to Sembawang Park to celebrate my uncle’s son’s one year old birthday. We had lots of fun there. We played a lot of games, went swimming and also did barbecue. The uncles and grandfather’s were in charge in barbecuing the food. The aunties, grandmother’s and mother’s were in charge in getting the tables ready and laying out the food. The children were busy playing games and enjoying themselves. The third week was fine. I went over to my grandmother’s place to take care of my little cousins, as my aunty was not feeling well. The last week was a little boring as I did last minute homework and also cleaned my house. This was how I have spent my holidays. I cannot wait for the next holidays.

I have learnt that global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and is projected continuation. I have also learnt that global warming can lead to many harmful effects. I feel that everyone has to play a part to stop global warming. In my point of view, I feel that Singaporeans are not that efficient in playing a part to stop global warming. They are taking it very easily. Thus, the government is trying their best to involve Singaporeans in environmental friendly activities and also to increase environmental awareness. I believe that I can play a part by helping out in the environmental friendly activities and also creating environmental awareness among my friends. I believe that to make the world a better place we can, have more environmental friendly activities and also planting more trees and stop littering. These are the some ways that Singaporeans can play to stop global warming. There are many more roles that Singaporeans can play

Write about a time when you lost something expensive, but gained a valuable lesson in return.

I had waited months for this day. We went to the nearest mall. We rushed into the shop. My eyes were glued to the glued to the glass door. I did not know which model to buy.

It was my birthday and my father told me that he would get me a new hand phone. I waited for many months, and the day finally came. I ransacked all the broachers , not knowing which one to buy. As I was walking around, something caught my eyes. I turned my head and I saw a phone model. I fell in love with it the very moment I saw it. I pleaded my father to get that handphone.when I asked for the cost, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped. It cost $ 1000.

He later explained why it was so expensive. I was astonished. My father bought it as he knew I really loved it. I thanked him and promised to keep it safely.

The next day, I went to school and showed everyone my new handphone. I forgot to bring it down for recess. I assumed no one will take it. I WAS WRONG ! When I got back to my class, my hand phone was missing. I was shocked. I did know what to do. I immediately called my father using the public phone and cried to him. He told me to calm down and tell him what happened. I did as he told me to.

I expected him to shout at me. Instead he told me not to worry and he will come to school and help me. I waited for him anxiously. He then told my teacher about it. We three then searched the whole school. My father then ransacked my bag and there was my hand phone! I felt very relieved. I had learnt a very valuable lesson not to boast around and also to bring all my valuables with me where ever I go.

Describe an occasion when you received an unexpected present

Describe an occasion when you recieved an unexpected present. Chinese New Year was around the corner. I just finished decorating my class with Chinese New Year posters and walked back home. When I reached my block, I felt this sudden urge to open me post box. I opened it and I saw a huge parcel wrapped in brown paper. I took it out with great difficulty. I rushed upstairs to my house. On my way, I saw my neighbour going to the hospital with his wife. I heard that his wife had to amputate her leg and he did not have enough money to pay for the hospitals expenses. He has been pleading the public to give donation for his wife’s operation. When I reached home, I unwrapped the parcel and in it I saw a letter. It was written, ‘Dearest Mr Yeo, I heard that your wife has to undergo a major operation, which costs you a few thousands. Well, you had asked me for help. You have helped me in many ways and I could repay you in a small way by giving this cash cheque. This is what I can afford to give you. Yours truly, Mark Leong I was astonished upon reading that letter. That very second, I knew that the parcel was not for me and it was for my neighbor. I rushed to my neighbour’s doorstep and pressed the bell. There was no response. That was when I remembered that they had left to the hospital. I waited for three hours. I often looked out of the window and peeked through the pigeonhole. Later, I heard them opening the door. I rushed and gave them the parcel. I told them it was posted to the wrong address, and apologized for not reading the address and opened it. I gave them the parcel and went back home feeling proud of myself that I was honest and have done a good deed.

An incident when I was caught in a storm. I had hoped to reach the nearest shelter before the storm hit me. As I glanced down, however, a dark shape was swallowing the valley in huge gulps. Thunder boomed in the distance. Suddenly, the storm was on me. It started pouring heavily. I was drenched in water and my shoe was muddy and soaked badly. I felt disgusted. I had learnt a lesson not to leave my aunt’s place so late and to also carry an umbrella wherever I go even though it is a sunny day. I called my father from the nearest public phone to ask him if he would be able to pick me up. He was working and I had no choice but to wait for the rain to ease. I waited for almost an hour sitting down at the coffee shop drinking a cup of coffee. I wanted to take a cab, but I only had a dollar twenty with me which was just enough for a drink. After an hour, I was a little dry and decided to go back home before it starts raining again. As I walked back home the sky grew darker again and it started raining. I reached home all wet, wiped myself dry and looked out of the window finding for people whom are in the situation I was in a few minutes ago.

Confessions of a Thantophobiac

An incident happened to me two years ago. Deepavali was around the corner. Normally, my parents and relatives will go to the cemetery and will give offerings for deepavali to their ancestors. Two year's ago, I wanted to face my fear's and I decided to follow them. I hesitated at first, but I knew that I could not live in fear for long, as one day I myself would have to go to the cemetery. We all met in my uncle's house and travelled in his lorry to the cemetery. When we reached there I was very excited. My friends have told me that when you wear red and go to the cemetery, you can see spirits. I was very curious thus I wore my red dress and red slippers. When I went there my uncle told me to stay in the lorry with my cousin as it would be very dangerous. I did not know why.

I pretended to listen to him and obeyed his instructions. When we were in the lorry I waited for my cousin to fall asleep. I heard a sound from behind the tree. I wandered off as I was really getting very curious. When I reached the tree, someone pulled my hand and I started screaming with my eyes closed. I did not know what had happened after that. After a while, I heard my mother calling my name. I woke up startled and panting like a dog. I did not want to know what had happened. It has been two years since that incident happened. But it still pop's up in my head now and then. It haunts me in the night.

I hate death!!!! Well, although I know that all of us have do die one day and even our loved ones have to die one day, I m still scared of losing them. Nowadays, although technology has grown, olden beliefs and history will not be forgotten.
