Social studies project reflections

In my personal opinion about the reason behind conflicts being so widespread in our present world is mainly because of people's self-centeredness and their constant unyielding concern for self-gain. Especially in this really intense competitive world. People are so caught up with this fast-paced world and their own monetary gains that even the littlest matter can trigger a spark and may later have the flame spread like wild fire that cannot be put out. Thus, I feel that the root of the problem concerning the countless conflicts among everyone in the world today is due to selfishness. And sadly, no one really bothers to bring up this issue as everyone is busy thinking ways of how to be more wealthy or how to make their life better et ceta. 

As far as the government is concerned, I believe that they are really doing their best to prevent all these conflicts and arguments as it is really important to keep peace in the country for the country to prosper. But I feel that the government can only prevent all these conflicts up till a certain extent only because ultimately, it is really up to our temperament, principals and upbringing that really prevents all sort of arguments. 

Our temperament prevents us from getting angry easily, our principals helps us know what we ought to do and ought not to do and our upbringing keeps our behavior in check. Children can be taught since young to not be selfish and spare a thought for others. This way, many unnecessary conflicts all around us could be avoided. 

This project has taught me how important peace was for a country, especially a multi-racial country like us, Singapore. And that we all should do our part in maintaining the peace in Singapore. We should have mutual respect for each other, accepting each other's differences. 

Lastly, this project has once again emphasize the importance of group work. It was almost impossible to do the project as there was a lot of work to be done and it had to be split up so that we can all work efficiently to complete the project together. 

Camp was fruitful

I may have been really unproductive this whole holidays without me doing any single homework, but the vbs and teenz camp retreat totally made my holiday so worth it. The messaged by Pastor Quek was really good and I wasn't sleepy in any one of them xD

Honestly man, I say that I have not memorised so many verses in my whole life before! I memorised like about 5-6 verses in one day! And I can proudly say I still remember like about 4 of them till now! :')

Now back to the real world. I honestly have not touched any homework and when I see those ws, I was like what on earth is modulus function??? Totally blank. So I don't think I can touch my homework today.

Half of June is gone! D:

Hello! :) It's 13 June today already and I've not started on most of my holiday assignments. Oh whatever lah, shall try complete it this week. I realised that I have not posted a single post in June. Fail. LOL. So today shall be my first :)

Okay, holidays is reeeeeeeally packed for me. D: First week: All got eaten up by ASG + eclat practices + eclat performance. Second week: Service for the Lord, had Vacation Bible Study. This whole week is my ONLY free week man :/ Sian to the max.

Can't stop saying how cute Joshua is. That was the last pic we took together in VBS

Went ice-skating after VBS with the '97 and '98. Urgh, felt so old :/ Somehow felt that I had to take care of everyone since I'm the only sec 3 and the rest are sec 2&1

This was the first shot Joshua took with any helpers I'm positive! :D

And I had the honour for being the first! :B

Before saying goodbye to Joshua, he was sweet enough to give me a goodbye kiss and a  hug xD I'll totally miss him D: But I'll go for VBS next year and see him again! <3
