Happy New Year

woohoo!new year is coming!but why do i feel confused in a way and somehow a little sad?is it just because of the three people i met yesterday?

on my way onto the 961 bus, i saw an old man sitting on the elderly seat.i smiled at him and he smiled at me back.he told me to sit on something between the opposite elderly set and the seats behind the driver.it was something popping out, like a case with the wheel inside.then i sat there. it was quite easy for kids like me to squeeze in there. and so i made a new 'friend'. heasked me where was i going, and i said i was going to woodlands.he told me he was getting down at the marsiling statin.he said that the sun was very ferocious and bright. and he obviously did some hard labour as u could see his rough and wrinkled hand. his skin was so dark that he looked like a person in a dark room. he also told me to study hard. he did not study hard and thats why he was doing these jobs. i promised him to study hard. to 'repay' him.

so the other one i met was at the bus interchange.i looked at him at first and stopped beside him.i asked him whether i saw him before as he seems familiar to me.he says why not?he is there selling tissue everyday.and he gave me my words of wisdom.he says that u must study hard, so that u would not become an uncle selling tissue. he also said to remember him telling me to study hard. i can feel that he regrets now but he is trying to pass the message to others so that we would not be like him. he also insisted on taking his tissue paper.i rejected immediately and politely. this kind of selflessness is very difficult to find in people nowadays.

aafter that, i saw my kindergarden teacher.she still recognises me as i visited her not long ago and i was also one of her elite students.she told me to sit at the back. she asked me how was my school and all that stuff.i was quite suprised to see her, but this suddenly reminded me of the schools motto, i think. YIN SHUI SI YUAN.it means to thank ur ancestors or the people who helped u after u are successful.i will always remember mdm goh, my kindergaredn teacher.

thank u ppl, for making my day before today so meaningful and interesting!

unlucky day

woa.today so unlucky.went to the swimming pool.when i got into the water, i found out that my goggles were spoiled!so i changed it...into a worst one...i was so angry and decided to quit the trials.after that, after i changed into PE, i was rushing to my MSP.the time for it to start was 3.30. i looked into my phone and saw 15.56. oo... i thought it was 2.56 and so i did not rush.but i took a plastic bag that was similiar to mine.omg... i feel agitated even thinking about it now. i took the wrong one!and i did not notice until i got back. Argh...thats how life is...so unfair.

adeline ng ai choo

i feel that wat adelinde did was not responsible as her parents have raised her with so much harwork and yet she commited suicide.Even if her results were not up to expectations, she could try harder next time and instead of being a coward and escaping from the fact, she should apologise to her parents and really try hard to pass. if she did not pass, it would at least be good enough for her to try her best.

shoot first, feel bad later

The article ms Gordon showed us on Friday was talking about the senator hillary clinton discussing about the games and the things we learn from it...i feel that the games we play have a limit of violence and stuff like that...there are even games with lot of violence, but they do say so in the front page, and so, i think it is the parent's responsibility to control their children into playing such games.

I would like to share my experiences.my parents seldom allow me to go on the web to play and not even to touch my electronic games any time of the day.they keep it locked in their room.at first, when i was young, there was no hard feelings, but, as time goes by, the influence from my friends boosted me on to play more games..then i would feel like part of them.this is 'peer pressure' , as i learned, this would get more and more in my secondary life. so, i became irritative to my parents, and would beg my parents just to get the games on my hand. so, as i said, my parents controlled me. this was 'no freedom' to me, but to my parents it was learning to be disciplined. so, i became more knowledgeable about this as i grew older.

Even the violent games kids polay nowadays, they do not have real discipline over themselves.the games they play, like GTA, is very violent, and has prostitution, murder and all of those mentioned in the article.people mistake games for bad things, but they do not read the labels carefully.GTA is M18 and only we kids know this fact.

In conclusion, games are not that bad as people seem to see and think.
