Fourth Week of School

-Monday 25 Jan 2010-
Honestly, today I am PISSED. Maths class was smooth until MT class. When my chinese teacher pronounced my English name wrongly, the black sheep in the class laughed and the others laughed too. That was an embarrasing moment and I hate to be embarrassed. I just keep quiet but my heart was filled with embarrassment, hatred, surrow and anger. Its funny how most people express the anger in them but if you don't, its like your heart is is being stabbed by a dagger. Luckily, my chinese teacher told them to keep quiet because it's not funny and you don't know whther it's a British pronounciation or American.

During recess, I have to do duty and it is in the parade square. Together with Jasmine Oh, we have to warn people not to run in some forbidden areas and not to stand on one area. But some people are just so stubborn. There was one boy who ran and fell then got injured on the knee. His so called friends were just around him and blaming each other while he was moaning in pain. So I asked another prefect to get a teacher while I stand and look after. While the other prefect was gone, the injured boy's friend yelled at me "OI! GET LOST YOU IDIOT! YOU CAN'T EVEN SAY CHINESE! HOKKIEN?" I know that student was one of the most oblivious pupil in the school. (Not saying his name) In my mind was ' what a hooligan! And so what if I'm not Singaporean and I could not speak Chinese well? At least my true friends accept me for who I am and no matter how hard Mother Tounge is, I will still try to do my best. Not like him who is a useless bum getting into troubles. I mentally cursed him in my mind. Well, when the other prefect on duty got back and told me that there is no teacher nearby, so I just told him to bring him to the General Office and I'll just resume my duty and help Jasmine Oh.

Since I'm already P6, I mostly dislike people who are 12 and still are childish. I would like to encourage everyone to try their best to pass so that they will not bring their parents headache. So, people who are very rude and what I meant totaly no manners, please stop. There was this quote , which is I had forgott.en but the meaning if you want people to treat you nicely, you must be nice to them.

Well, I hope that typing to my blog calms me down.



Tuesday - Thursday (26 Jan 2010 - 28 Jan 2010)

Three days where my Maths teacher and Form, English and Science Teacher (Mdm Sng and Mdm Yeo) was not in school for some reasons. The class there was different. Somewhat really different and I'm not used to it even though I could have read a book during my free time after I finish my tasks given to me and there is not much homework.



Luckily, something cheered me up during assembly. There was this show about crime prevention and the puppets were hilarious especially the chicken and I also guessed that his name is KFC. The jokes were funny and it really cracks me up.

-Friday (29 Jan 2010)-
Mdm Yeo came back today. Well, things today were as usual. Sometimes I would like things to be simple and ordinary but sometimes, it doesn't have to be always that way. There will be events would might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

The Third Week of School

*sigh* 3rd week of school, the time goes REAL FAST!~



-Monday to Wednesday (18 Jan 2010 - 20 Jan 2010) -

Well, Mdm Lim told us about three things.

1) Punctuality

2)Road Safety

3)Why English is SO important

4) About the national anthem



*PUNCTUALITY*

Very simple. Do NOT be late for school. Wake up early, it's your responsibility, not your maid or parents or even your alarm clock. Wake up early, eat your breakfast, tidy yourself up and come to school. When I was primary 2, I had a problem coming to school early because my little sister eats her lunch SLOWLY. So, I have to wait for her to finsh her lunch then come to school. Also when I was Primary 3, my house was far from my school. I have to take the bus then MRT train and bus again. But now, my house is near from my school.



*ROAD SAFETY*

Most people would like to disobey the road safety rules and just dash across the rod due to hurrying. But we must use overhead bridge if there is one. Some people would cross the road even though the red man is on.



*Why English is so important*

Even though I am disliking the subject English because it is hard, I would still appreciate it. english is the language that connects the world to communicate. In many countries, they have their own language and many do not learn English. We use English to communicate to each other rather than learning a lot of languages. When I first came to Singapore, I had a difficult time speaking in English and understanding what they say. Also, I was confused why was the spelling (cen-ter) centre? While the English I have learn in my country is spelt as center? It is because in Sinagpore, they learn British English not American English (That's what I think).



*About national anthem*

Honestly, I am NOT so sure about this but I heard Mdm Lim talking about when you heard the pledge or the national anthem, we must stop and sing it too.



The rest is all about Homework and stuff.......



-Thursday (21 Jan 2010)-

We were actually had a talk about Graciousness. How to have manners and respect others.





Most people would say things to others that might hurt other's feelings (e.g. bad words, insults,yelling and lying) People should respect others by simply talking to them gently.



Most people would late out their anger and hate when they get angry to a person and cause them to hit the person. People would hit the person to express their anger and hate to them or even throw a tanthrum.



Of course, very less people would want to wear a 'mask' and hide their real emotions and be calm like they are emotionally numb. I had tried it before and it was HARD. Having to hold your tears, be calm when someone insults or irratates you, unable to smile when someone tell you jokes and having an expressionless face or 'poker face'.



I understand it is hard to be calm when someone is insulting you and you are hurt verbally that you would physically hurt that person. But you have to be calm and ignore that person. Tell yourslef that : "He/She is just jealouss of you" or "That person just wanted someone to notice him/her"



I believe that each class would have a 'black sheep' and comment about things sarcastically. To me, they just wanted to be noticed, that's all. So, if you have a black sheep in your class and insults you, just ignore them. Because if you do scold them or insult them back, you are just getting what they wanted and they would insult you more.



If you are a person who is trying to be a bully and mess up people's lives by insulting them, you have to STOP. Who knows if the person you are messing up with have a 'darker side' and curses you and you will be DOOMED. Trust me, the best way is to just stop, I would be worried if someone physically hurts you or making you like a puppet via "voodoo doll'. So, just STOP. And is you think you're being funny well you are NOT. Honestly, I totaly HATE black sheeps in my class.



Another thing is to be well-mannered. I remember that my Grandmother is very strict on that. Whenever she comes from Japan to visit us, she would mostly talk about "Please", "Thank you" , "Sorry" and "Your welcome"



Most young teenagers would lose their manners and care. Like my sibling, she would just say "I don't care" or sometimes "don't know don't care". That would piss me off. Even a few days ago, I was lining up in the stall when a few boys were pushing about until one boy pushes his friend strongly and the student hit my stomach. I groaned in pain. All they could do is just blame each other like: "He do it lor!" "No lah, he did it" I was PISSED. In my mind was, why could they just say "sorry" and that would be enough. My face was a serious poker face and I told them "Instead of blaming each other for your mistakes could you just say sorry!?!" Then they were immature and said "Sorry lor! You think what?" I decided not to bother about them anymore but they are so immature and impolite. Also, I detest Singlish. I would sometimes talk improper English to my friends (but without the lor, lah or even seah) because I would to be more myself like my friends but not in a rude way.

Graciousness would also mean RESPECT. Some people would like to vandalise properties like flats, playgrounds, school propeties and sometimes even buses. This is a sign of disrespecting your country, home or school. Tell you what, vandalising is NOT COOL. Especially when you vandalise in a wall with bad words and little children could see it especially in playgrounds.

Also, you must give your seat up in bus or MRT to a person who needs it more than you. Most people would just pretend to read a newspaper or sleep when they see someone older or children. That is such a shame!

Mind your language too. Don't use vulgarities to scold anyone.

There is a lot more gracious acts that we could think of.

- Friday (22 Jan 20101) -
There was a structured programme. Homeworks and lessons. Mdm Sng taught us the third chapter, Nets in Maths. In MT, we had also finished Chapter 2. In Science, I had learnt more about energy. (etc. potential energy and kinetic energy)

Second week of school

Second week of school was DIFFERENT from the first week of school. Nothing was really new and there was homework as usual and my subject lessons are finshing their first topic.

-English-
We did oral practise for our oral exam in the future and the article Hope is a Choice. I learnt something about Hope is a Choice and really learnt a LOT from that topic. We also did some composition and honestly, I admit that mine was LAME. Idid not have the enough time to finsh the essay and did not have time to check through. I need to write faster next time. The rest were some research.

-Maths-
I had maths worsheets as homework and we had finished the first topic, Algebra. I have to practise Algebra more so that next time I won't make any more mistakes for the topic. We learnt the next topic then.

-Mother Tounge-
Just like Maths, we had finshed the first topic and moving on to the next one. We did the activity book and try to learn the new words. Even though Mother toung is my WORST subject and I do not speak Chinese, I try to understand it and try my best.

-Science-
This is my favourite subject ever! We did some research and experiments and I could tell you, Science is so fun! You do not need to think so much like Maths, not so hard as Chinese because it's in English and not strict in grammar.

The rest of the other subject classes are normal. Well the one I just typed out was normal too.

*Note that this is not arranged by time, only by subjects and some which are not stated may be the reason that I have forgotten

The First week of school

I was able to return to Singapore on January 3rd 2009. I disliked riding planes especially budget airlines as they are usually boring and you need to sit there for 3 hours which I did not like. My baby sister was throwing a tantrum on the plane, lucky I wasn't sitting next to her. All I could do there is to sit on my seat and tried to sleep but sleeping in a position where you need to sit upright was not a thing I'm used to sleep. So all I could do there is to wait patiently for the plane to land. I drank a cup of coffee sold by the air stewardess. I actually changed my mind about being an air stewardess as I thought I could travel around the world but I'm getting 'airsick' during planes and being bored.



Soon as the plane landed, we took our luggage and head back to our house. I was restless. The plane landed at the time 1am , Jan 4 2010. My mother gave me a late Christmas present as I wasn't able to celebrate Christmas with her for work reasons. the present was so small while the rest of my sister's presents are big. But that didn't matter, I opened it up and found that it was actually a Manga and not just any Manga but it was my favourite anime called Detective Conan and she bought for me 3 books and one of them was a Movie Special! Well, I know that when it comes to giving and receiving, it doesn't matter the price, it's the thought that counts.



I was able to sleep before coming to school. My mother advised me not to go yet but I wanted to go to first day of school badly while my sister was tired and decided to sleep for the day.



There was of course assembly and time to know about the class and your form teacher. I bit my lip hard. I wanted my form teacher this year to be Mdm Yeo as she was my last year's form teacher and maybe the best teacher and my schoolmates agrees with me too. I actually saw Meteor Shower in December 14, 2009. There were about 40 shooting stars that night and I probably spotted about 30 of them. One of my wish was that Mdm Yeo will be my form teacher next year 2010 and it really came true! Some people say that when you wish upon a star, your wish will come true.

Then when Mdm Yeo told us to introduce ourselves infront of the class for at least 60 seconds. I was like "Oh no, not introducing to yourself to the WHOLE class" I took long on what should I write down. Then the next period was either Maths or Social Studies. Then Mr Oh was my Social studies teacher again.

No one knew my Chinese Class. Luckily, a Chinese teacher which many Chinese students called 'Ding Lao Shi' (I don't know her English name, Sorry) She brought me to 6 Endurance and she switched on the computer but the computer was slow and it took minutes till she found my name and told me to go to 6 GR. I thanked her for helping me and headed to the class. I was about to tell the Chinese Teacher the reason why I was late in her class when she asked me for my name. I took my seat and she gave an introduction in the class, the rules and the goal for our PSLE. I smiled to my friends as I walk past them.

There was soon this introduction and some were good at introducing themsleves. Soon, it was my turn to introduce myself. It was honestly not the best introduction, not even close. I had elaborated my sentences and I even told them that my favourite colour is Gray, which was the first time I had told a lot of people about it. To me, Gray is a simple, dull colour and it doesn't represent any emotion or significance, unlike the others, red could represent luck, anger, love or yellow could simply represent happiness. But Gray isn't. When you look at it you could feel nothing. -no worries or thinking. It makes myslef very calm. The first day soon ended. I've done the things that I have to do when I come home.

-The Next Day- (Tuesday, 5 January 2010)
The 2nd day started and we had PE then music. My PE teacher is Mr Tan and my music teacher is Mrs Siat. PE was just an introduction and we played this game called 'One Leg' and in music, we learnt about the Singapore National Anthem, Majulah Singapura and Mrs Siat told us to sing the lyrics properly and clearly.

I also found out that my Maths Class was still in Courage and my maths teacher is Mdm Sng. Maths class was again, just an introduction.Most of my friend are in Maths Class)I still did not know my science class on that day.

-Wednesday, 6 January 2010-
This was the day I knew my Science Class. Then again, my Science Class was still in 6Courage and my Science class teacher was Mdm Yeo. Most of my friend who are not in my form class are in my Science Class. I also learnt basic algebra about the four operations in algebra. While the rest I had completely forgot! Well, I had a good chat with my close friend, Jasmine Oh on the way back home. I mostly went home alone which feels kind of lonely but I got use to it but I would really love to have a good chat with my close friends.

-Thursday, 7 january 2010-
There was nothing really new about this day or I had honestly forgot. But after school, my firend, Jasmine Oh told me that she had forgotten her house key and both of her parent are working and they will not come back till evening. She had no close neighbours and she was thinking about where to go after her Higher Mother Tounge. So I had invited her to my house so that she could stay there till her parents return. Both of us did our Science Homework given by Mdm Yeo.

-Friday, 8 January 2010-
At last there was something new in that day. We had Health education with Mdm Sabiah and the lesson was funny as Mdm Sabiah always have jokes that could make us laugh.

This was the end of the first week of school. Some of them I might have forgotten but the first week of school was smooth and I am looking forward for next week.

About me

The first thing that I want to tell you that I'm actually shy when it comes to introducing myself and even when it comes to taking pictures. Well, I hope that I could express myself out properly.


My name is Remee and my form class is 6Courage. My hobby is paper folding. My favourite colour is gray.

The Blue Moon and The New Year

Well, on December 31st 2009, I waited for the new year to come. But before that, I saw in Yahoo! that there will be a Blue Moon on New Year's eve. The Blue moon is the "extra" full moon in years that have 13 full moons.
I went to the rooftop at the time 7pm (I was in Phillipines by then, not in Singapore, so there's a rooftop) I saw the moon which was at the side of the sky (not yet at the highest). It was so bright and the moon was unusually blue. But the blue moon I just saw was said to be "rear" becuase the blue moon appeared on the New Year's eve which the last time it happened was in 1990 and the next time it was predicted to happen will be on 2028, which will be every 19 years. Imagine how old you are when you see the next blue moon in New Year's eve. My great-aunt who believed in luck told everyone to got to the rooftop and have a look because she simply believed that the blue moon in New Year's eve will be lucky as it is only on every 19 years and it was on New Year's eve, so she believed it will bring luck to us all around the Year 2010. The wikipedia also stated at the Blue Moon was with a partial Lunar Eclipse (Not full).

At the stroke of midnight, we went to the rooftop again and see the fireworks in different directions. By midnight, the Blue Moon is at the highest and I noticed that the sky was bright as if the Blue Moon was the light. The sky was beautiful. I thought about how lucky was I to see The Blue Moon and see the Geminid Meteor Showers (it was somewhat about 40 shooting stars then I could wish on it) on the same month and Year and maybe I would like to see a blocked sun or a blood moon (meaning Solar eclipse and Lunar Eclipse respectively)

The next time I would want to see the Blue Moon on New Year's eve might be on 2028 when I'm about 31 years old. As I watched everyone celebrating the New Year, I told myself "this year, when the clock strikes 12, Year 2010 will appear and so is the Blue Moon at the sky at the highest. Now, I'm desperately searching for eclipse visible in Singapore. I really hope it I could see an eclipse.

I had two questions to ask:
1) Did you saw the Blue Moon?
2) Did you ever noticed that I'm interested about astrology? (seeing the blue moon, shooting star, eclipse etc.)
