Hey guys... I supposed to be writing something on current events going on in Southeast Asia. It is our social studies assignment. I'll be writing about Singapore winning bronze medal in Tchoukball. It was on today's newspaper. Singapore beat Britain 46-42 in the play off for third place. The Singapore team was delighted with their achievement. Jeff Ang, the team's coach, said that he was really proud as they were relatively new to the game. And, the best part is that, even though The Tchoukball Association of Singapore was just formed 3 years ago, they have already achieved a world ranking of 7th. Well of course they would have gotten 3rd place looking at how hard they had worked. "They had been working four times a week for the past two months," said their coach. And, the team's vice-captain, Ian Lim, said that they didn't think they could get that far but they worked hard... cool right? Well that's all I got. Bye:)

Hey guys.. the last time I wrote was like before the June break started! Anyways, our school recently celebrated Racial Harmony Day an I'm supposed to be writing down my experience . Well to tell you the truth, I didn't really enjoy myself as much as I did last year. It's not all because of the activities but it's because we could not watch the performance live and we had to watch it in class on the screen as we had to avoid social gathering because of the H1N1 disease. Secondly, the activity held for the p5s & 6s - applying henna on your hand by yourself -was not really fun. It was quite a mess for me, so I did not apply any, which was not fair as some people really didn't want to do it so they ended up doing nothing at all. anyways the videos we watched in class were not half bad. First we watched the performance, which was on the different types of weddings in Singapore - the Chinese wedding, the Indian wedding, the Malay wedding, and the Christian wedding. To me, I found the the Christian wedding the best, performance wise. Otherwise, I liked the Chinese wedding as I really didn't know quite about it. And all thanks to our teachers who teamed up to demonstrate how these wedding ceremonies are performed. The part were they performed the Christian wedding was the best. Two teachers were the couple that was getting married and our principal, Mr. Tan, was the priest. The whole class had not noticed till our teacher Mrs. Azhar told us. The funniest part was that when Mr. Tan told Mr. Soh that he may kiss his bride and he just did a flying kiss. Then there was the part after the kiss where Mr.Tan started laughing but did not know that the camera was still on and he turned around and said, ' Oh god, the camera is still on!" That was hilarious. Then there was the food during recess... There were 2 majour problems. 1st, there was no more ice kachang left by the time I reached there. But that was my problem. And 2nd, there wasn't much variety of food. Oh wait and 3rd, we didn't get a 1 hr recess like we expected! Overall I'll say I didn't really enjoy it1 No offence to the organizers of the whole event! But I still got to learn a lot :)
