So this week, we commemorated earth day. The presentation was well done and I was impressed. However, just as my teacher noticed, not many pupils were well-engaged.
Our class seemed to be well participated and the spirit is there. "Yay!" for our class!
I liked the pictures of true nature. To me, originality is the most beautiful and unique. I am skeptical that I am able to see the beauty of nature in reality. Is the world beautiful with nature? Actually, nature is way beautiful than the modern ones. (shopping mall etc.)
The most beautiful things is not just physically but also emotionally. There is a great difference between beautiful and pretty. In my opinion, "Pretty" is just described a modern girl with tonnes of make-up on or modern buildings with high technology. While "beautiful" describes a person with natural appearance or nature. In other words, when something or someone is described as "beautiful" means natural and not only that, but also describes the art inside it and it is not just the physically but what is felt inside.
I would really want to see the true beauty of nature, seeing the top view of mountains, the sapphire-coloured ocean, the blood-red sunset or the forest that almost looks like emerald, the 7 colours of a rainbow, or even as simple as a dewdrop in a leaf of a plant which sparkled like diamonds.
To me, the colours of nature is breath-taking. I would describe those colours like the colours of jewels. However, I may not see them because of what we are all doing. Wouldn't you want to see it too? But it is all too late, all we could see are black ashes, brownish mud and the blood and dead body of animals and nothing else.
Tell me, have you ever seen a walrus? A tiger? A lion which the fur is as white as snow? A panda? A plant which has flowers that is a shape of a pink-parrot?
Wouldn't you want to see those rear animals and plants? I have not seen those yet or maybe never.
To be honest, we are standing in nature's way. It's very common to see selfishness around the world. People uses feelings of others to get what they want, sinned people living in luxury, justice and truth are covered with lies, betrayal and hatred.
Like I said, nature gave us everything we need : shelter, food, water, air. Some people are not blessed with these things. But what about you? We already have everything we need, but we destroy our beautiful planet just to get what we want.
Building a house that is bigger than needed, while you could use the plot of land for a flat for a home to hundreds of people. Instead, some use that plot of land to build a magnificent mansion just for themselves. It is cool but selfish.
We would always consider ourselves before others, right? Why not make it another way round? Starting with animals and nature. Humans are gifted, the most intelligent living thing on earth. Why could we use this intelligent to lead the world with good and selflessness, where evil does not exist. Instead of ruling the world where bad things linger around.
So that we could see the nature as a beauty to appreciate, not a trash where we are disgusted. The most treasured and happiest, beautiful moments are not the biggest things, but the little things that makes life great.
By playing a part in Earth Day, we have a chance to see the beauty of nature. I thank all the people, though done a little job, makes a difference. (whether you have had read this or not, but I thank all people from the bottom of my heart.)

Inter-national friendship day
As on the title, the school is commemorating inter-national friendship day. It is significant especially in Singapore because Singapore is a multi-racial country.
I am a student from another country, therefore I am in a different race. However, I am friends with Singaporeans. To me, friendship is a great value in life. That is the only thing that keeps me from being a social person.
It is strange that only when there are disasters, people would unite but when there is peace, it is totally different. I think that disasters are nature and it also helps to unite us all. We come together when there are disasters and help the country that is affected.
Also, people always judge other's negative points or difference. They never knew that how the difference could also be similarity when looked in another view. It is like a cube. You focused on the crack on one side so seriously, that you do not even know that the other 5 sides are the same. Yet, all six sides are the part of the cube.

2-3 week of Term 2
So it starting of term 2 and there is so much homework! I am about to collapse from all these. I can't even watch my favourite anime! Anyway, SA1 is coming up so I won't be really surprise.
So far, my English Oral reading is alright. I have been practising on it and it is actually, oh well, alright.
Also, I actually caught a high fever during the long weekends, good friday to easter sunday. The cause was eating chocolates and therefore sore troat which led to fever. I was like "mute" for two days or so.
Honestly, the last time I ate ice-cream was like a few years ago. hehe.....
Now, I vow that I would not eat chocolates no matter how I love eating them. My voice is very important to me. I can't imagine how I could lead my life without talking.
Nowadays, I prefer milk tea instead of milo.
It's weird how I got sick on Good Friday and recovered on Easter Sunday...
If you do not know what i meant by the sentence above, don't bother..... :)
It's funny how you lost something and you realized how important to you and the consequences for it. We must always treasure what we already have and do not trash it away, you will never know how important it is to you.
School is school, but I love going to school because this is the only place where we can meet our friends.
