To blog or to flog.
Everthing has its good and bad points, even simple things like bloggging.
Some narrowed hearted people who had been arrowed by others in their personal blogs would feel insulted and thus start complaining to her friends. Therefore the complaining cycle continues and will never come to an end.
I feel that by blogging, it help others to know the blogger better in a way or another. It also helps to blogger to blurt out everything. I feel that by blogging, it makes one feels less stress, at least we don't have to keep everything to ourselves right. Even if i have no one to talk to, at least i still have my blog to. I feel that its indirectly letting the others know bout how you feel.
Blogging might be an interesting thing. However, one should learn of their limits of what to blog. We should not have any personal attack on our blog posts. Although one might say that it is he or her own blog, afterall the blog is still published to the public, others will still read it. Its not really good to verbally insult someone on your blog, this actually reflects on what kind of person you are.
I think it is not wrong to blog about how you feel about someone. Afterall it is voicing out my own opinion..

Perseverance
I always believe that everyone, even a young child knows what they want; or rather everyone has a dream. However, before they’re able to achieve their dream or goal, they ought to put in a certain amount of effort or even make some sacrifices. I feel that even before thinking that far, we must know of this word, perseverance.
This word so simple, yet there is a deeper meaning which not everyone might know of. Perseverance is not something everyone has, but this is something so important that it can bring someone to success of failure. It is an undeniable fact that people would thinking of giving up at some moments of their life, especially when what we’re facing is a downfall. So this is when this word comes in. when we face some difficulties we’ve to hang on there and not give up, it is a challenge to everyone. I believe if one hanged on there, he’s actually a step higher than what he was. This is like testing yourself, whether you’re capable of persevering and pick yourself up even when you fall.
Relating this to a personal experience, recently I felt that I’m a failure in life. I felt that my studies is not good and now my position in the basketball team has been over-looked. I think that I’ve nothing for my parents to be proud of me.
Last time, even though my studies wasn’t really good, I though I could make it up with my basketball skills. I remember last year, when tournaments were being held in our school, I would be so eager to ask my parents to come down and support us. I was so confident about it as I was still considered and important player in the team.
However, now things changed for the worst. I felt as though my existence was unnecessary. The feeling of not being able to have a chance to perform is way too horrible. However it is even worst when you’re given a chance to prove that you can do it, yet you felt that you no longer acquire they skill to proof to everyone that you’re still capable. Not being someone with high self esteem, but I just hope that I can still at least excel in something, at least to please myself and have my parents to feel happy. At that point of time, I was a the verge of giving up.
After thinking through every day and night, I finally decided to look on the bright side. I decided to take thing easily and look at the brighter side. I persevere for my goal, my suture and my everything. I worked hard every, I read inspirational quotes to motivate myself that I cannot let anyone down. Every training, I would give my very best, despite how tired I was. Although things weren’t that simple, I hanged on there.
At first, I thought even after giving in so much, I would never be able to regain my composure. Then I realized my effort was starting to pay off. I finally achieved reasonably good results; my existence in the team was recognized by everyone, even the teacher in charge of basketball whom I respect a lot.
I learnt that it is very important for people to move on in life despite what difficulties they meet. There’s no way one should give up half way, because that's no what a man who have a dream should be doing. Giving up on something is like giving up on himself. It’s like jumping straight into burning fire and surendding yourself to the hell god.

My favourite Childhood Fairy tale
There was this girl named Cinderella, her mum died and her dad married another woman, who she had to live with. Her dad’s wife is Cinderella’s step mother. Her step mother has two daughters, and her step mother left everything nice for them. All the nice things, kind thoughts and loving touches were for her daughters. And not just the kind thoughts and love, but also beautiful dresses, shoes, shawls, delicious food, comfy beds, as well as every home comfort. Yet she gave all the dirty things to her step-daughter, she had to wear clothes thrown away by her step-sisters, and her meals were nothing but scraps.
Poor Cinderella was treated like a slave; she had to do all the dirty works. She had no nice rests and comfort, for she had to work all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for awhile by the fire, near the cinders. That is actually how she got her nickname, Cinderella. Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. She was a kind girl who did not grumble despite being treated so badly.
One day when Cinderella’s step-sister was going to the ball. Cinderella wanted to go, but she didn’t ask because she knew very well that the answer would be “no!” "You? My dear girl, you're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy." Cinderella sighed at the cat.
However, when Cinderella was sitting all by herself, a burst of light and a fairy appeared! The fairy said that the wind blew Cinderella’s sighs and brought her here. The fairy told Cinderella that she should go to the ball, she fling her magic wand and Cinderella was in the most beautiful dress, the loveliest ever seen in the realm. She also wore a pair of unique glass slippers. She then told her to bring her a pumpkin and told the cat to bring seven mices. The fairy turned the pumpkin into a carriage and six mices into white horse and the last mice into a coachman in a smart outfit with a whip on his hand.
The fairy told Cinderella that she would be able to see the prince charming in which the honor was held. She emphasized that Cinderella has to be back before midnight struck because that is when the spell would end. The carriage will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will become mice again and the coachman will turn back into a mouse. and she will be dressed again in rags and wearing clogs instead of those dainty little slippers.
When Cinderella entered the ball, there was a moment of silence, because everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her elegance, her beauty and grace. Cinderella danced with prince charming, and he was in love with her. But when they were dancing, midnight was coming, Cinderella rushed out of the ball without leaving a word behind. She dropped her slipper on the stairs, but not for a moment did she dreamt to pick it up.
Prince charming chased after her, but he stopped to pick up the slipper. He told the ministers to search everywhere for the lady who fits this slipper if not he will not be contented. He said he want to marry the lady who fits the slipper. Finally, the ministers found out that Cinderella was the lady who fits the slipper. They brought her to meet prince charming, and they lived happily every after. (^^v)
Coda-
I’ve learnt that in life, there might be miracles happening. I always thought doing good deeds lie forgiving others; one might not get any thing in return. After some things that I experienced in life, I thought that being a kind-hearted person might not be that good after all. I thought that being the bad person would be better, because you’re harming others but not yourself. But after reading this, I learnt that we, being the good people will get something good in return.

Book review.
Firstly, the book I chose to read was “My sister’s Keeper” by Jodi Picoult. I think you heard of this author before, because the books written are great!
This book was recommended by my best friend. She summarized the story for me and quoted a sentence she read from the book and at that point of time, I was sure I’m going to finish reading it! I believed this book consists of wonderful and interesting storylines, so I borrowed from her. Furthermore, this book is small and convenient enough for me to bring it along with me, so I can read it as and when I want.
I shall summarize the novel before I start on my second point. There was this girl Anna who was born/made to save her sister, Kate who suffers from leukemia. Anna was born to help Anna fight leukemia; she was the reason why she’s brought to this world. I mentioned (made) because
Next, the reason why I would recommend this book to others. Mainly, it would be because I felt that this book made me realized how much pain some people can actually suffer. I felt that some friends of mine are tired of living, so I would want to recommend this book to them and let them realize how some people out there is trying to get their live going. Hopefully this would give them a wake up call, and cherish their lives and carry on with their lives positively.
Well, I seriously like this part a lot. It might sound a little emotional but it sure is meaningful. So there was this girl Anna who was born/made to save her sister, Kate who suffers from leukemia. Anna was born to help Kate fight leukemia; she was the reason why she’s brought to this world. I mentioned (made) because the parent actually chose the right embryo which has what Kate’s body needs. There was this sentence saying, “If your parents have you for a reason, then that reason better exist. Because once it’s gone, so are you.” Don’t you find this so interesting? Seriously, I’ve never thought of something like that before! From this I learnt that there could be people doing things like this just to save their children. I learnt to put myself into people’s shoe, like trying to have a taste of how Anna feels. I also learnt something from the quote above. My friend asked me, “Do you love for a reason?” I said, “no.” Then she said “good, and told me that sentence, because if you love with a reason, then if that reason is gone, you won’t love anymore.”
That’s about the book.

Its a second post of the English blog!
Firstly, I would like to define what actually a team to me is. This word has a deeper meaning. To me, a team needs to have love, because with love, nothing dreadful will happen. No one will harm anyone! In a real team, people will learn to give and take. In there, everyone has this special feeling, we feel happy being together. We lose as a team, we win as a team. Losing is nothing to us, because we lose together... I still missed the times we had last year, the team which I would never ever forget, C’div 2007. And not to forget, in a team there has to be a word respect. We used to respect and like out coach a lot… We call ourselves the dream team, simply because we feel happy together with each other. People might actually laugh at us for being so naïve, but trust me, we’ll make you regret doing so…
Well, the things that may affect the team spirit is usually internal conflicts. Different people have different perspective, so this is how I actually feel.
I guess, it always started because of jealousy. It’s when someone can play really well, or the central of attraction among everybody, people tend to start feeling green and have grudges towards that particular person. I felt that this isn’t what a team should have. And mentioned previously, the word respect is important. I think if the team doesn’t respect of dislikes the coach. It’s really hard to bring the team together, as players would not feel like attending trainings, and things would start to get out of hands.
I believe in a team there would be high and lows. There would be times when everyone is please with one another; however there would be times when we’ve conflicts and are unpleased with one another. I experienced this in my team before, so I think its understandable…
I think one can do to help a team, is to stay positive. It might be tough to salvage a sinking boat, but still nothing is impossible! I believe one can influence others.
That’s what I’ve got to say.
Some pictures to end the post..
This is actually our creative coach using small stones as magnets, to teach us some of our formations.
We smile like no tmr!
Happy faces!
We created history with the cboys, double champions. We had a tough game against dunman secondary back then
ending off with, our team bag :)
thank you for reading.

First three weeks of school.
It was really disappointing when i was told that there would not be sports classes. Thus, me and my good friends in my previous class, 2h had to separate. Fortunately, i had one good friend in my class, thank god!
I had been looking forward to going school, as i was really desperate to see all my ex-classmates(2H)! Actually things started pretty fine, except for the part where school stepped up on the strictness of attire, hair and everything. Attire and hair checks seems to be a daily routine for the pass few weeks. At first, I was not really pleased, but soon after i understand that i'm going to school, not shopping, thus i tried my best to oblige with the school and have more appropriate attire. Well, i'll try harder!
For the first few days of school, sitting in a classroom with people whom i do not know, felt really awkward. I could still remember vividly, how i started talking to some of my classmates, it was the rubics cube! I went around asking my classmates who knows how to solve the rubics cube as it was one of my wish to know the tricks! I made some friends then, and finally one of them knows how! Now, I finally know how to solve it under the guidance of Suwern, my classmate!
I also came to realize that my class might be the lousiest class in terms of academic. However, i cannot feel that teachers are biased against us, and I’m really pleased about it. And I’m also very happy that my form teacher is Mr marcus khoo. I personally feel that he's a understanding and nice teacher! I kept turning to my friend lydia, and praise him to her. I realized that he tried to be linen with my class, in terms of attire and everything. There was this once during attire check, he did not catch anyone of us. But Ms Cheong our vice-principle felt that some of our boy’s hair was unacceptable. Everyone seems to be asking, who is our form teacher. I think he’s really a nice teacher, so I hope that we won’t bring him so many problems.
Not forgetting to mention that 2008 had been a really busy year for me. It might be because I’m in secondary three now, there are more subjects to cope with and basketball trainings had also been increasing. And also the east zone tournaments had started. I had problems managing with my time, so I had to forgo some of my activities like shopping to complete with my school work and stuffs.
I wish everyone a pleasant day ahead. Good bye!
