Chinese New Year

Sorry for not posting for so long. I just came back from Malaysia after visiting my relatives for Chinese New Year. During the days there, I played card games with my cousins and also watched movies that they had. The most exciting part was when I received my AngBao money. I hope I got more than $700 this year.

Dear Children,
As you now know, I have broken the world record for completing 7 marathons across 7 continents in 27 days. How did I do it? I think that the main reason how I did it was my willpower to complete the goal that I had set for myself. I managed to persevere and not give up, and thus I managed to break the world record. The message I am trying to send across is that you have to set worthwhile goals and work towards them. For me, my goal was to raise money towards cancer research in children. One child that moved me was Jessica Doktor, who had leukaemia. I met Jessica six years ago when she was just three years old. But in October last year, Jessica died. Her fight gave me the energy to complete my mission. It was giving me a lot of positive energy, that this will be something I can do in remembrance for Jessica, for all the other kids around the world. One of the biggest enemies is yourself, as only you stand in your own way. Remember, everybody gets tired, and so did I, but I never gave upand continued to work towards my goal. I hope that you can follow by setting goals to help the society and work hard towards achieving those goals.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Tan

Blog prompt

Dear gorverner,

As the chairman of the Farmer's Cooerative in Jiangsu, I want to represent the members of the Farmer's Cooperative by expressing certain hardships faced by the farmers due to the reforestation/conservation project by the officials.The farmers work very hard to obtain money from their crop and harvest. These farmers face many unexpected problems like pest and dry wheather. Thus, they cannot earn a lot of money. Throughout the years, they use their hard-earned money to buy land, to feed their family. By taking away their land, how are they to make food to sustain the population? How are they to feed their families? Thus, I propose to give them land in other areas, for them to continue farming. This also encourages more people to farm, and thus more food for the nation. Thank you

first malay lesson

Today I had my first Malay lesson and it was very fun. I learned many Malay words and had fun conversing with my friends in Malay. We learned to pronounce the vowels properly. None of my aquarium fish died today. ;)

table tennis trials

Today there was a table tennis trial, and I really wanted to join table tennis. However, I tried very hard but did not manage to enter. Many people from our table, table 5, did not manage to get in. I hope to be able to get into another EP3 of my choice, such as tennis and softball.

first reading period

For the first time, our class had our reading period. It was very interesting and we got to find out more about what happened the day before. Next, we had a session in the auditorium where I found out more about the school's founders day, and about the EMB and the SMB. During the lunch break, I played table tennis with a group of seniors and managed to win them once. After that, I hurried to the MSP (Malay special programme) briefing and got the time for it.
