Hi 405,

it's post-o lvls nw, hopefully everyone's enjoying their hols. i know some of us have taken up jobs or gone overseas etc but the hols are ending soon so enjoy it while u can.

ok main reason for this post is i met MRS B.LIM today and she told me to send her regards to the whole class. she is doing fine but has been quite busy. also she has just adopted a 11-month old daughter, Faith. she said that she will bring her daughter and be there to see us collect our results IF she is in town that day so hopefully she will be there.

ok to end off, i would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

“There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.”

9 October 2009.

today was officially last day of our nanhua school life. yes look how time have passed. it simply just flew past. felt just like yesterday when suddenly we were in nhhs, and yes performing at the national stadium. felt like yesterday when we were all "thrown" together into 1 whole new class, 305'08. initially, everyone was like so apprehensive and wary of each other, not willing to open up but look how far we have come now.

“It's weird...you know the end of something great is coming, but you want to hold on, just for one more second...just so it can hurt a little more.”

yes. they can say that officially our school life is over. but i know many of us out there would just love that it was not over. i believe that most of us when we first came in during secondary one we had our doubts whether nhhs was a good sch. we dreaded it and felt that our primary school was so much better. the sudden increase in number of subjects and longer hours in school meant that most of us dreaded coming to school.

but over the years, we took part in so many activities, scraped past so many lessons and most importantly, forged such strong bonds with so many of people whom we previously did not know at all. how ironic that four years later we would love the school so much that we feel that the 4 years is simply not enough, maybe it's not perfect but we love how the school is and all the wonderful people, be it students or teachers, that allowed each and everyone of us to have such an enjoyable and enriching 4 years of school life.

“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

yes, i hope of us feel the same. now that's over, i know that's no point feeling sad over all that's has happened, or wish that we had done something more for our friends or teachers, or simply just hoping that we had treasured each other more. on the other hand, smile because we had made many new friends, friends that will hopefully stick with you throughout your whole life, as most people say that the secondary school friends will most probably be your lifetime friends.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

we may forget what all our teachers have said during each and every lessons, but there's no denying the fact that they have help mould each of us into better person, both smarter and with a stronger character. yes, they have done a lot for us and deserve much appreciation for their selfless sacrifises that they have made for us. so thank you teachers, and i am sure we mean it from the bottom of our heart.

“I've learned that good-byes will always hurt, pictures will never replace having been there, memories good and bad will bring tears, and words can never replace feelings.”

that's the painful truth. though it officially over, there's no denying the fact that we have been a class for 2 years. hopefully everyone will be able to make it when we have a outing or hopefully a chalet after o levels. or a get-together session a few years down the road. maybe then we can reminisce all the times, both happy and sad, that we shared together.

“One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”

yes, for now let's concentrade on our o levels. there's no reason why we are not able to obtain the outstanding grades that we are all capable of and breaking nhhs record as having one of the best msgs in history.

Our secondary life may end.. but our friendship will last forever.

what is supposedly the best four years of our life has just ended. i would like to end off with one final quote.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”

this journey has been an absolutely breathtaking one, one that we surely will remember for our whole life.

GOOD LUCK FOR O LEVELS! and
THANK YOU 405!

17 April 2009. Sports Day. Clementi Stadium.

our last year as a class, our last year attending Sports Day in nanhuahigh. how many people is able to say that they came from a champion class? and to win it by the slightest of margin proves how closely fought it is but we gave our best and won.

so let's thank all the ones who gave us this prestigious title, especially melvin who chipped in with 3 and never stopped running but not forgetting the rest who helped in one way or another. Great job to all the participants for never giving up and win us points which contributed to our overall total and also to the rest for cheering the competitors on.

hope that the whole class would be more bonded after this. we have claimed more than victory on that day,taken more than just the trophies and medals.coz we were there as a class, in front of the whole school, being crowned as the champions. the sky's the limit and this shows that we can be the best, both in academic or sporting areas.

hope that this will inspire the class to more success, starting with the upcoming MYE. there's nothing that we cannot overcome, because we are more than a class, one big family. let's us stay united in our final year in nanhuahigh.

"Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this."

so let's not forget the moment we stood in front of the whole school, being proclaimed CHAMPIONS.

405 - CHAMPION CLASS!

" because the good times never last, and we don't want to regret it in the future..."

read this and found it real interesting.
was glad that O's didn't gave this kind of compre psg.
but anw, hcl's one may have.
qns are difficult XD but the psg looks nice =D
so i shall envelope myself in world of chinese once again =P lol

早上醒来，走进客房，地上躺着一个泄了气的气球。气球是显眼的黄色，已飞不起来了。因为曾经显眼，现在的不堪也是显眼的。
那天在商场里，看到许多小孩都握着气球的长线，气球色彩鲜艳，兴致勃勃一如握着它们的小孩。人群中，妻带着一个黄色气球走过来。她说有人在分派气球，她想到侄儿喜欢黄色，便拿了一个，打算回家前绕到弟弟的家去，拿给侄儿玩。
妻要购物时，将紧系着气球的长线在我的食指上缠绕了几圈。说 : "别让气球飞了。" 我在等待时，抬头看到商场高高的天花板下，满是气球。该是小孩不小心松了手吧? 那些飞天搁浅的气球，看起来还是气力充沛的，我望着望着，心里有种无名的触动。
离开商场时，夜已深了。我们不想打扰弟弟，便先把气球带回家，妻把气球带进客房，一松手，气球就上升，贴在天花板下。我望着它兴致勃勃的样子，心里又有触动。
此刻，看到泄了气的气球，我才想起，那日之后，忙着工作，竟忘了把气球送过去。忽然我明白了，那日我的触动，其实是隐隐感到气球的焦灼。看起来那么快乐的气球，原来都不能等。当它们兴致盎然的时候，若不能为喜欢它们的的人所紧握，那就失去作为气球的意义了。
妻小时候，带着幼小的弟弟，到处兜售氢气球。有一次，她急着上厕所，便把系着气球的长线缠绕在弟弟的食指上，吩咐他: "千万别松手。" 才走了几步，只见整个广场的小孩都指着天空，喊道 : " 好美呀! 好美呀! "
那个满天气球的绮丽画面，我在想象中复习了无数次。今天，当我把那泄了气的气球丢弃时，我这样想: 作为气球，究竟是被拥有，还是被释放，比较欢喜? 作为人，到底是紧握住，还是放开手，比较快乐?

2009-03-17T19:13:00.007+08:00

great.
so here i am, once again, enclosed in my own 自闭 world of chinese. LOL

do chinese homework ok!

报章报道：陆路交通管理局规定在商业区内，德士司机必须在指定的地点让乘客上下车，然而最近一项调查报告显示，德士司机和乘客对这项条例都表示不满。试针对这则报道，发表你的看法。

we may not even touch chinese next time, not to say do a 350+ words compo.
and chinese, according to the current changes in the economy, will be one of the most important languages spoke in the world.

someday.

which i belive is soon.

so anw, i will be typing (again) notes i got from this chinese thing and from 郑老师's lesson in class =)

tt sentence doesn't make much sense does it? lol. no rite..
but anw, tt sentence isn't the main point.

NOTES :

报章报道：陆路交通管理局规定在商业区内，德士司机必须在指定的地点让乘客上下车，然而最近一项调查报告显示，德士司机和乘客对这项条例都表示不满

keywords: (i'm guessing again)
规定,商业区内,指定的地点 nvm. idk got wad keywords.

开头: 抄题+直述感想

抄题:报章报道：陆路交通管理局规定在商业区内，德士司机必须在指定的地点让乘客上下车，然而最近一项调查报告显示，德士司机和乘客对这项条例都表示不满。
感想: (i duno what 感想 i should have T.T)

中腰:

1)从司机，政府，乘客的角度分析 (为何感到不满):
A)司机的角度: 不方便，造成(considerable drop in business) 生意--?? 因为浪费时间->德士站将通常出现德士排长龙的情况。
B)乘客的角度: 不方便--以前可以随叫随停，但是这个政策却让德士只能在指定地点给乘客上下车，使它与其他公共交通车(eg 巴士) 没什么差别
C)政府的角度: 起初是为了大众的利益着想的，却忽略德士司机和乘客的感受

2)政策的原因
-在商业区比较繁忙，若德士车为了接乘客而停在路边会造成交通阻塞
3)政策的用处
-改善在商业区的交通
4)政策的不足
-没有考虑到德士司机和乘客的感受，无形中损害了他们的利益
5)建议
-(currently thinking)

结尾: 终结全文+寄托希望:
(currently thinking too)

notes are from listening to 郑老师's lesson+some from the chinese 'course' thing(??) and a few ideas from brain =D
majority are from the former though.
p.s. those in bold are the main points

gosh... this is the reason why i never do a draft before writing a compo in exams.
dun think it helps much, but anw, something's better than nothing =)

hahas. nvm.

ciao

2009-03-15T00:49:00.008+08:00

lets improve our chinese! =D
i mean, it MAY very well be our last year taking chinese as a subject alr. so yupps ...
let's take chinese more seriously =)
okayy.. this is random cos i suddenly 心血来潮 and want to post something.
and since writing/typing/whatever things down can make me remember them better (and since not many ppl will come to this blog) why not eh?
those who actually read can gain knowledge too =) [a bit gl but zzzzzzzzzz......]

potential compo topic(报章) :

报章报道: 一位八十多岁的老婆婆长期热心帮助独居病弱的老人而获得表扬。
fyi, it isn't as easy as it seems.

i'm guessing that the keywords are 八十多岁的老婆婆 and 长期热心帮助 and 获得表扬.
now it seems like the whole sentence is a keyword itself. keysentence -.- ok, nvm.

开头: 抄题+直述感想
抄题--报章报道: 一位八十多岁的老婆婆长期热心帮助独居病弱的老人而获得表扬。
感想--读了这则新闻后，在惊讶之余我对这位老婆婆的行为感到十分敬佩。她在八十岁的高龄时还能有此行为，的确应该受到表扬。

中腰部分
1) 个人理由
2)分析原因 --- for this 报章, 原因should be 行善意义
3)提出建议

中腰:
1) 为何有以上感想? --个人理由
(A) 老婆婆本身已八十多岁，而还能造福人群，行善---给其他年龄还笑得国人树立好榜样，尤其是年轻一代。至于年长一辈，也让他们受到鼓舞 [点题(80 多岁/年长者)]-- 行善不论年龄，年纪大的人士不一定要扮演受别人帮助的角色，也可以反过来帮助他人
(B)为何应该获得表扬?--宣扬/散播爱心，树立典范。

2)行善的意义:
(A) 社会上仍有一群不幸人士等我们伸出援手。 (不管多么富有/发达的国家，都会有人生活在贫困的环境下，有种种原因得不到亲友的帮助，需要我们上前帮助。)
(B) 行善不在于获得表扬，在于给他人温情，自己的人生更有价值。真正具有善心，乐于奉献，而不是自私自利，只为自己着想。

3)建议: 进一步培养人们的善心
(A) 政府: 宣传活动/鼓励社会团体主办慈善活动
(B)传媒的力量: 报章/杂志/电视艺人带头。。。
(C)学校:带学生参观孤儿院/老人院/做慈善活动/定期做义工
(D)家庭: 家长以身作则，支持并参加慈善活动(产生耳濡目染的效果)
(E)个人:明白幸福不是必然，多为他人付出的意义。

结尾: 终结全文+寄托希望
总而言之，一位高龄老人仍去帮助别人这一行为表明了社会中还有一群善心人士在默默奉献。我希望有关方面能采用以上提出的方法，多方努力*，在不久的将来，使我国成为一个人人彼此关心，互相帮忙得温情社会。
*it's 多方努力 here and not 多管其下 because 多管其下通常 is to 解决问题

no sample compo cos the one i wrote was !@!$##@$!
totally cannot make it one. ):
those up there are my notes. i didn't write those myself. (like obviously)
only re-writing(typing in this case) to make a more profound impression of this baozhang in my brain.
let's hope it works XD
(how come i can't write like this in exams?!!!! T.T)

if anyone or perhaps 郑老师 happens to see this, give comments on how to improve kaesss??
like, i can't think of any other 行善的意义 or 建议 =/
or maybe some other things which i didn't add in...
lol
