Kindness
Hola frens...I'm supposed to be writing about kindness today! So what is kindness? Well i myself an not sure about that but I think it means helping others in their difficulties or simply, just be nice and polite to everyone... Many people think that it is not important to be kind as they think they aren't going to get anything out of it or get rewarded in anyway. Well not to be rude (for people who do that), it is just stupid thinking! Your reward should be that you feel proud of yourself for doing a good deed. there are many ways of showing kindness. An example would be giving up your seat in the bus or the MRT to someone who needs it more than you. That's a very simple thing to do and I've done that before. i gave my seat to an old man who looked very weak and looked like he was having difficulties standing for a long time. So, I showed my kindness and i gave up my seat. And guess what, I felt great at the end of the day as it was something to be proud of. I'm sure the old man must have been really grateful to me and must have thought I was a really good girl. anyways, my point is that showing the act of kindness should be done by heart and not just because you'll be getting something out of it!
Got to go now, Bey!

Oral examination
Hi every one...! I am going to write about my oral examination which i just had yesterday. Usually, I love sitting for oral examinations because I love to talk but the problem is that it is after school hours. Since my index number is 11, I always go first which is why i only have to stay back after school for 15 minutes. And because of that, I even missed my school bus because of that and I had to wait until 3.30 for the CCA bus.Can you believe that? From 1.15 all the way to 3.30... Anyways the oral examination went smoothly and i have a feeling i did very well :D There were three sections, the reading, the picture description, and the conversation-which is the best part... Do you know why I feel I have done well for my oral? Because the examiner was grinning from ear to ear when I left the hall (we are always tested in the school hall). Now i just hope that I do just as well for my other examinations. Sometimes I wish the only examinations were oral... impossible:( Anyways many people think oral is not really important but it is... Oh got to go now... Time for recess! My favourite part of school:D

Hey everyone!! Today I'm going to talk to you about International Friendship Day as a part of my school journal. This year's theme for International Friendship Day was 'ASEAN.' Do you know how International Friendship Day came about? The tradition of dedicating a day in honor of friends first began in The United States. In 1935, the United States Congress, proclaimed the first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. Since then the celebration of International Friendship Day became an annual event. Soon International Friendship Day became a hugely popular festival. Following the popularity and success of Friendship Day, several other countries adopted the tradition of dedicating a day to friends. Today International Friendship Day is celebrated in several countries around the world. And, in 1997 The United Nations named "Winnie- the Pooh as Ambassador of Friendship. Do you know what 'ASEAN' stands for?... Well it stands for 'Association of SouthEast Asian Nations.' Well you know, I was asked to play this game about getting to know ASEAN by my teacher to see how much I knew about ASEAN. I found out I know nothing or very little... Last week our school had a concert about International Friendship Day. To tell you the truth, I didn't quite enjoy it as a concert is usually a play but last week a Indonesian lady was invited to tell us about Indonesia. It was good to know about another country other than Singapore, but it was quite boring... not to be rude. I think the school should have organised activities that could teach and at the same time were fun... Bye have to go:)
