Woah, it's only Term 2 and the P6 Classes are already stepping into Term 3 work. Last year in Term 2, teachers were just halfway through the syllabus but this year, it's a different story. Due to the Prelims and PSLE, all our work has to be completed before July. Once the Prelims starts, not much teaching will go on. For Maths, the good news is that we are ahead of time. Mr Chua says that we had gone the extra mile by completing Challenging Problems in the Homework book. So, we have extra time to do more Practice Papers and Exam Papers from other schools. It's pretty much the same for Chinese and Science.
Rush... Rush... And Rush...
We have to do that for the sake of PSLE. I hope our efforts would be worthwhile. ^_^

This section of the blog is a collection of Anecdotes and Meaningful Stories to read.
Story 1
One day, a young man was sitting beside an old man on a moving train. The old man was holding onto a pair of shoes. The train was moving very fast. All of a sudden, the old man accidentally dropped one of the shoes out of the window of the train. On seeing that, he then threw the other shoe out of the train.
The young man was stunned. He inquired, " Mister, you accidentally dropped one of the shoes. Why did you threw out the other one?" To which the old man calmly replied, " Shoes will only serve their purpose if there are two of them. Since I lost one of them, what use is one shoe? I hope that by throwing the second one out, the lucky person who finds them will pick them up and wear them. "
Story 2
One day, a world-renowned author was going for an Around-the-World tour. Her first destination was Russia. In Russia, she saw a young boy that was smart and lively. She thought that he was very cute and started talking to him. After that, she spent the next few hours playing with him! After all that, she said to him, "When you go back home, tell your mother that you had just played with a famous author today!" Finishing her sentence, she told him who she really were, expecting the boy to be astonished.
The boy just blinked at her after she had revealed her identity. Then, he said in the same tone of her voice, "When you go back home, tell your mother that you had played with a small Russian boy today." The author was greatly astonished. She suddenly understood something. A person should maintain a humble attitude and treat all people with equality regardless of whether he or she is a famous or powerful person.
After many years, she wrote in a book, "The lesson this Russian boy taught me, is one I will never forget!"
Story 3
Once upon a time, there was a mouse who wanted to cross a huge river. He wanted to reach the other bank. "Oh no," he muttered to himself, "how will I ever get across this river?" A frog who happen to be passing by stopped and said, "Hey, I can take you across the river!" Upon hearing that, the mouse jumped for joy. The frog found a piece of string and tied one end to his leg while he tied the other end to the mouse's tail. "Come into the water, then climb onto my back," the frog said to the mouse. The moment the mouse when into the water, the frog swimmed as fast as he could. "Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to drown me? I can't swim" The mouse screamed hysterically.
"Haha, who asked you to believe what I had said? Now, I will have a dead mouse for lunch. " The evil frog replied. Luckily, a crane flew by. He saw the mouse in danger and used his beak to carry him to safety to the opposite river bank. The frog was furious when he knew that his prey had escaped. He climbed up the river bank and said, "Rats, I almost had you. Oh well, count yourself lucky this time!" The kind crane looked at the frog and said angrily, "So it was you who tried to drown the poor mouse. How dare you think of killing and eating him!"
"Speaking of lunch," the crane said, "I feel quite peckish now!" The frog tried to escape but it was too late. He was swallowed in one whole gulp.
Moral: Evil is always replaced with evil.

It was a typical Thursday in school. Mrs Lim was teaching us about science. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Hey! There's a mouse!" I turned to the direction and saw a tiny rodent scampering around under a desk. After I told everyone there was a mouse and turned my head to look at it, it was gone! "It's under the table!" Someone shouted. Pretty soon, almost every pupil in 6 Sunflower was squeezing around the teacher's desk to have a closer look.
Surprisingly, a few of the girls were not afraid of the creature. Oh, did I forget to mention, Mrs Lim immediately ran out of the classroom and ordered us to catch it. The mouse was pretty smart. It hid behind the monitor. Guessed what happened next? The whole of 6 Tulip came rushing into the classroom out of curiosity. Mr Hoe came to see what the commotion was about. When I told him what had happened, he asked Yu Yang to catch it. With the combined efforts of Yu Yang, I and some other classmates, we managed to scare the mouse away from under the table. By the way, the mouse was a brown, furry animal with red eyes. (I should have told you earlier.)
"Zoom!" It scurried across the class with every one hot on its heels. It was very hard to catch as it hid under tables and some obstacles. Finally, it came running out of 6 Sunflower. I was not sure how the little creature was caught as EVERYONE was making their way through the door. The situation was so chaotic. When I came out of the class, I saw Mr Hoe holding a plastic bag with the rodent inside it. When I asked who caught it, I found out it was Yu Yang, haha!
I also found out that the mouse was from 6 Rose. (It was one of their class pets.) Mr Hoe took the bag and claimed the mouse for himself. He was joking, of course. He smiled and said, "A small mouse caused 6 Sunflower and 6 Tulip to turn so chaotic!" Oh, where's Mrs Lim? She was back in class, relieved that the mouse was gone for good. Now we know that she's afraid of tiny rodents... ;P Lessons when back to normal after that.
Peace has prevailed.

I went to Garden Asia in Lim Chu Kang during the March Holidays. There were also other farms around that place. They are the Goat Farm, Frog Farm, Orchid Farm, Koi Farm, etc. In Garden Asia, a place full of plants that are for sale (sort of like a huge flower shop), I saw an interesting sight.
This looks a bit like a bird's nest, doesn't it? Actually I think it is a tent of some sort.
Haha... Anyway, the trip was quite fun. I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!

THE STORY OF A DONKEY
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of theanimal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick togetting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
NOW --------
Enough of that crap . . .The donkey later came back, and bit the shit out of the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON: When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you. You have two choices...smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else to spread the fun. I know what I did!!

The effects of force
Scientists spend much of their time investigating the properties of materials in order to find out how they behave in a variety of situations. One of the most important properties is how a material responds to forces such as stretching and impact.
Force
When a material is pushed or pulled it may change shape (that is it deforms). However, the way it changes shape, whether it returns to its original shape, goes into a new shape or breaks apart varies with the force that is applied.
1) Elastic change: When enough force is applied to an object it deforms. However, when the force is removed the material will often return to its original shape. This is called an elastic change. A rubber band is good example of an elastic material.
2) Plastic change : When a larger force is applied, a material may continue to deform, but if the force is now removed it will stay in this new shape. This is called a plastic change. Pulling a snack bar apart and bending a steel staple are examples of plastic change.
3) Break: If enough force is applied to a material it will become brittle and eventually break or fracture.

Here are the photos I took of Mediacorp TV Station.

Some adults simply can't spell... But some kids are like spelling bee... This is the advertisement for SPELL CAST, a spelling competition organised by Mediacorp. As you may have guessed, I decided to take up the challenge. I went for the Audition on 12/03/07. The location was of course, Mediacorp TV Station. The TV Station is not open to public at all times. So, only visitors with special reasons can enter the building. Before the Audition started, I was doing some last minute revision on the spelling of some complicated words. At 1:15PM, the time has come...
The audition was a spelling test. There were 3 sections of the test. Section A were multiple-choice questions. Here's an example:
a) Jurassic
b) Jurrassic
c) Jurrasic
The competitors had to choose the correct one for every 10 questions. In addition, you had only 5 seconds to complete each one! No time to stop and think about unsure ones. I trusted my senses. Now, to Section B. This section is about filling in the missing letters of 10 words. For instance:
Green_ich
The answer is Greenwich, which is pronounced as (gren-ige) So this section will be hard for you if you do not even know what the words are. The person would only read out each word once. Here's the interesting part: After you spell every 5 words, you need to unscramble the five letters you had filled in to form a word. A clue will be provided for every 5 letters.
Moving on to the last and final section. It's a typical spelling exercise. JUST THAT IT IS A LOT HARDER!!! >_< class="blsp-spelling-corrected">
Now, for the exciting part of the whole experience. I passed the test, scoring 23/30. That was a great score. I thought I would even fail! Well, this means that I will proceed to the next round. (Which will be held in April, I think.) I am so happy that I can move on!

Hope everyone enjoys their holidays!
