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.

Shall blab a bit about VBS. :) Totally love VBS man. Met this suuuuuper duper uber cute kid called Joshua. HAHAHAH! Me and evan agree that when Joshua grows up he's gonna be TOTALLY HANDSOME MAX! :D Now you can see that he's already handsome!

3 days just came and go like that. Still miss VBS :/


Ern-wei was so sweet to take my place of being wrapped by toilet paper :P

Carmen, me, Jolene. Ain't Carmen pretty? She has double layer of long eyelashes x.x

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

Oh hello there, think we've met before!

Yesterday was not very awesome in an awesome way. It was stupid elearning day and we got to go to school for eclat practices. So dumb. Of all days, WHY ELEARNING?! Don't they know that we'll lose our pensive mood for homework by the time we come home from the practice due to tiredness and then we won't be able to do our work well? By the way, as I was typing all the above, I realised that my typing is very slow now. WHY?!?!?! :O GASP. I think cause I've been watching dramas/shows/videos too much that I have not been really practising typing. And I'm also blogging so little nowadays right? Well yes, I can still type without looking at the keyboard but still, I'm like SOOOOOOOO slow!!! I can hear my brother typing his keyboard while playing! It's like what, I think 3 times faster than me can?! FAIL. I'm so sad now :(

Okay, maybe not. I feel hungry again. Anyway what happened yesterday was that I went out with katz to clementi mall and hanged out there from like after practice which was about 1 to 5! HAHAHA! Awesome max! We literally explored the whole mall (due to my request cause I've never really seen the whole mall before :P ) and then we took time and went in to stores like paper market, minitoons, pop whatnot. :D Well we did really went every level and walked everywhere, well except the last floor which I heard there was a library. And yep, if you go clementi mall but never drink koi, it's equivalent to not going clementi mall at all! :D So of course we had to make a small trip there!

Don't know why but I was feeling kind so I decided to buy back koi for brother. And wow, so much for being kind. When I went home and started doing my elearning homework after overcoming a truckload of sian-ness, I asked him chem questions and he all replied me with a "I don't know". HELLO! HOW CAN AN EVERY-TIME-A1-CHEM STUDENT DON'T KNOW?! Seriously, you just didn't want to help me cause you were busy playing maplestory. Like come on lah, will it hurt to to just help me?! I took the trouble to buy home koi for you okay! Urgh. Whatever, I'll let it pass.

So then because I had a selfish brother, I ended up doing elearning until 1+ am and slept at 2+ am. But I loved the way I did elearning though :) Well since I can't be bothered with quality answers cause it was already so late when I started, I googled about half the chem answers and the found  the rest in the ppt slides given. As for chum, I took like 10 different people's answers (well mainly the essence of their answers) from different class and edited it to my style and submitted it. HAHA (Y) Awesome max.

Brother is going shanghai tomorrow to teach kids english through chinese for his cip hours. I asked him of all people, why get you all teach? And he said cause they're pathetic little kids. So mean!!

Okay, that's all. I'm tired of typing. Bye :)
