The multiple intelligence test

I think that the multiple intelligence test is a good survey as I can know myself better.The multiple intelligence said that I am interpersonal smart the most.But I don't really think so because I don't communicate with people that well and sometimes argue with people about wrongs and rights.So,I
don't think it is an accurate test.But i was satisfied 1 thing was it said that I'm nature smart as the second.It had that fact straight as I am a mature lover.I hate humans that destroyed their habitats.But the purpose of the multiple intelligence test is for us to know our learning styles as we can do our online lessons according to the test. I was chose to do interpersonal.It is about an interview and I manage to interview with my friend-Shwe Wen on MSN.

Way up to heaven and Lamb to the slaughter

One day, Ms.Anu told us to compare these two story and analyse their similarities and differences. The way up to heaven is about a wife called Mrs.Foster and her husband.Mrs.Foster is a wife that is good to her husband and always care about him but one thing is she always obsessed about time.She hate to be late. Everytime the two went out Mrs.Foster would always be ready before 1 hour while her husband take his time to tidy himself comb his hair, find his car key,anything!Anything that could delayed Mrs.Foster.So everytime she was tortured by him with her obsession with time. But without reasons, Mr.Foster would love to torment her,made her as angry as possible.So,one day.Mrs.Foster booked a airplane ticket to see her daughter who was in another country living. When leaving to the airport.Suddenly Mr.Foster said he had something to give his daughter while he was not going to her house and stayed in a bar.But he couldn't search the present, so he decided to get off the car and went to his house to search. Mrs.Foster was in rush that she only had left less than an hour to arrive the airport.But in that moment something caught her eye it was the present.At that time she knew that her husband was trying to torture her again.So she try to go to the airport without her husband presence but her driver insist to wait for his master.So she went down and look for him.When she reach the door she heard a sound which sound like the evelator had broke down.She stunned there a moment hearing the sound carefully.In the depth of her heart she knew that if she try to save his husband and repair the evelator she would be late for the plane.So she didn't care about it and drove straight to the airport.After six weeks of visiting her daughter.She went back to her house.She smelled a strong odor which smelled like a rotten body.And she called the men to repair the evelator while sitting back on the chair waiting them to arrive.

So,the similarities between these two story is Mary Maloney and Mrs.Foster are the same who was a caring wife to each of their husband.But although they are as good as that,but their husband did not notice their care and ignore them and torment them at the last making them shocked which was Patrick Maloney told Mary that he was going to leave her because he had found another mate.While Mr.Foster tried to make his wife as late as possible to the airport.And at the ending two wives in each story killed their husband and tried to protect themself from commiting a crime.

But the differences are that Mr.Foster is not the only relative of Mrs.Foster but Patrick was the only relative and the one Mary loved the most in the whole world.Mary was a silent and caring wife that served her husband with all her might while Mrs.Foster keep nagging about time and to his husband for being late.And Mrs.Foster was aware that her husband was intentionally try to torture her.But Mary dont know anything about her husband that he had any affair with other woman outside and didn't know that her husband not loving her as much as the time she was married.The type of killing also one of the differences that the both wife did.First Mrs.Foster didn't kill her husband by purpose but intentionally did not bother her husband who was stuck in the evelator and left him there suffer from hunger and lack of oxygen to death which was a cruel type of killing.But Mary Maloney just hit her husband with a blow and lead him to death in seconds which he didn't feel as much suffer as Mr.Foster that suffer a long time before dying.

My bad day....

A week after coming to Singapore and stay at the boarding school,was the first day of orientation. At that day,I follow my friends to Hwa Chong .We gather at a hall while waiting the appearence of the school's senior.Besides that,the teachers took our temperature to determine whether we had any symptons of fever or not. Finally the seniors had arrived.They gave us a speech.In their speech,they said orientation is the "HAPPIEST" day in the Hwa Chong school's life.After the speech,they taught us some cheer songs.It started like one people shout "Hwa Chong!",then the others would shout "OI",again "Hwa Chong!" "OI"."Hwa Chong!" "ehbah".At first they demonstrate it, then we will follow. As we were new in the school so nobody dare to utter a sound.But after encouraged by the seniors,then only we dared to shout all those cheers.

After that,we were lead to the classrooms and had games with the seniors.We introduced ourself to each other so that later we could play a game called "Bang Bang".But still,this was not the main purpose.After briefly knowing each other the game began.This game would be my most "memorable" game in my whole life.The game rules were simple.First a people must call somebody's name but not the name of the people at his sides.Then,the person who called must squad down before the person at their sides "Bang" him.If the person did not squad down before it happened, the person will lose.But if he make it before it happened,he would "survive".

But it was not just that at all,the two person who "Bang" must say "Bang" as quick as they could because the first person who said "Bang" will win.And the other person will be eliminated from the game.But if they said together then they must snatch a stick in the floor first to win.After explaining everything,the game began.I managed to "survive"until there were left like around 7 people.Then,the moment the next name called was my doomed moment.The next name that called was the person beside me.He squad down fast as I "Bang".Unfortunately,we "Bang" at the same time.So,I ran as fast like a lightning to grab the stick.But, a tragedy happened.When I was grabbing the stick, a pupil charged behind me as to snatch the stick.But he lost control and fell on my left arm! I felt an instant pain and I could hardly feel my arm could barely move.
When I turned my vision to my arm,I swear I saw my wrist was bending.

When the seniors saw what was taken place,they called the teachers to come.The teachers immediately brought me to the hospital for further treatments.When I reach the hospital, the doctor in charge immediately checked my arm and he said that my arm need to be x-rayed.He straighten back my arm then he brought me to room 7 to examine my arm more clearly.Then, I was brought to the x-ray room. A few minutes later,the reports came out. The doctor found that my arm was fractured and it was quite hurt badly.The doctor said luckily it was not the worst scenario and it only needed to be bandaged with a cast.If it was the worst scenario, my arm had to be operated.

After my arm was put in cast, I was sent back to the boarding school.After this incident,I suffered for a month could'nt bath, wear clothes, eat and others things easily.Haiz.......what can I say,its just my luck!

First time in the plane

Chinese New Year was coming.At Friday ,after attending the New Year party that I mention at the previous blog post,I packed my belongings and ready to go to the airport. Few months ago, my father booked a plane ticket for me to go home and celebrate Chinese New Year.So, after finish attending the party at 10 a.m ,I do whatever homework I have so that I would not have any homework during New Year.

This was my very first time rode airplane go somewhere. Question marks were rising in my head.Hows the feeling in the plane?Is it interesting?What kind of scenery that I can see in the plane?I just couldn't bare not thinking of it. I was just too exciting.My heart was blazing in fire.Sweat were popping out from my palm as I rubbed it.I was just too getting over excited what would take place later.The scene of signing in ,the clock ticking by as I wait at the airport ,the boarding procedure.All sorts of scene popping out in my imagining brain.Time was passing by and at last the moment had came,I follow my senior,could be said as my friend to board a taxi that called by his sister.I put my packs at the back of the taxi then ready to go.

At 3 p.m, I reached the airport.At there were filled with different country people.As my plane was at 5p.m I waited at the seats for the time came .At there was so boring that I almost felt asleep. Fortunately,I brought my laptop by so I could surf the Internet.Until 5p.m., we went to the custom to let the workers to check our belongings,they also checked the weight of our bags. Suddenly,the workers let out a sentence"Aha! I found a scissor, may I know whose scissor is that?"he uttered as he watching the screen.

My blood frozed, chill was running down my spine."Er...er...sir.Its my scissor ."An eerie silence continued for a few second.Then,"OK is this the first time you board an airplane?"
"Yes,sir"I choked.
"I will let you go this time.Remember dont bring it again yea."
"Yes,absolutely."
Phew,that was so closed,at that moment I was so scared that anything would happen to me.Then,I boarded the plane.In the plane was filled with people.The stewardess lead us to our place and smiled. At that moment,I could'nt believe that I actually sitting in theplane.Everything was like a sweet dream. The footsteps that I took ,the air that I inhaled, the softness of the seats that I sitting on it.Everything was so unbelievable.

A few minutes later, the airplane started to move and accelerating slowly.And a moment later I could feel my body rising,the pressure was getting higher.The plane was slanting.Hurray!! I was finally flying in the plane.Joy was surrounding me.When I looked out from the window,I could see the city was getting smaller and smaller until It vanish as I was up abovethe clouds.The clouds was "so" 3-D that It was like cottons floating in the mid-air.The sun was brighter that I seen on the land.I was like a God floating on the clouds,looking at those humans activities.It was so feeling extremely good.

Less an hour later,the plane were starting to land at Kuala Lumpur airport.Although I felt a bit dissapointed because of that I could'nt enjoy the moment longer,I felt an unimaginable joy in my heart.I wish I could have this oppurturnity again in the not too distant future.

CNY celebration in Hwa Chong

At the 12th of February,Hwa Chong held a CNY party.On that day,we had to arrive there at the assembly place. Everyone at there were in red or bright colours shirt. When everyone reach there,they greet each other "gong xi fa cai" and shake hands. It was such a memorable sight watching people smiling, greeting .And the most important was it had the New Year atmosphere around. When time reach 7.20 everyone including teachers, raise their feet and sing the national anthem. After that, the principal-Dr. Hon greeted us too and gave a New Year speech to everyone.

After awhile,we went to the Kah Kee Hall and settled down in our respective places. We had many performance like: lion dance, new year songs, hilarious speech and others performances.Firstly, we invited our beloved teachers to come in the hall.We cheered and shouted in our top voice as we invited them.After they sat down. The lion dance began. Starting, a few drum sounds echoing in the air and later more drums sound came in. The sound was so loud that it almost burst my eardrums.Worst was I sat next to the drum!!! I could my feel my heart and body were vibrating. At last the "lion" shifted their body and they wave their head and tail, it was so fascinating .

After that interesting performance was the peeling orange competition. It was held at the stage,the most orange the contestants peel the chances of winning was the most. There were 8 contestant took part in it. 4 students from respective consortiums and 4 teachers. Me, as one of the Ortus family kept cheering at my consortium's contestant. My group was leading, but for a few minutes others had chased after us and leads.But my consortium did not gave up.But still, my consortium lost.

After the competition everyone sang the New Year songs such as, "da di hui chun","he xin nian", and others nice songs.We sang and clapped our hands.It was so fun that every second was precious.At 10 a.m the concert was over. Actually the purpose of letting us off so early was the principal encourage us to visit our primary school teachers and gift them oranges.It was one ofthe traditions in Hwa Chong.

I wish I could attend this party very soon again in the future.

My dog, Rex

Do you have pets? What is your pet? Usually people will answer yes it is a dog. Dog is humans best friend .A dog is one of the most loyalpet in the world. They obey us and treat us as their master. And why is that they treat us this way? Is because if we humans treat them in care and love ,give them food play with them, give them a shelter, they will definetely repay us like looking after the house. They are also an intelligent species, some of the police used dog to track down bad guys or to capture drug seller with their amazing nose.

For me, I had a dog too its name is Rex. I love Rex very much and I wish I could look after it and see it growing. But unfortunately my wish could not granted as I have chosen to study in Hwa Chong in Singapore for 6 years and I bet when I came back it will be old and perhaps dont even know who I am.

One day ,I when to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to had lunch. Suddenly, my eyes spotted a pet shop. Me, as a pet lover surely would go and check it out. The shop fill with animals.Got cat, tortoise, fish, rabbit and last but not least is DOG. I wandered around in the shop stared excitingly at the animals. Since i was a small kid ,I would love to had a pet in my house especially dog. I kept staring at the dog cages. Looking it sorrowfully. "Haiz.....it is just a wastage of time only,why am I looking at them ?Mom wouldn't allow me to bought one also.Haiz......",I breathed in grief. As I was walking to my parents, suddenly "woof!! WOOF!!WoOf!!" a lovely bark striked my ear it broken down the sadness in me like a bolt from the blue sky. I was attracted by the echo, the barking sound and I just wanted to take it home. When I turned my head around, an adorable cute labrador retriever was staring at me. its milky eye blended with the shiny lights, its eyebrow that was bending down like it was very pity and its little black nose just captured my heart .I just wanted to took it home immediately at that very moment.

But in the depth of my heart I knew that my drem wouldnt come true.But in that particular moment I heard mom said"Oww, what an adorable dog look at its face its so cute!!!" At this moment I sense a rare chance was coming. And I was going to take this oppurtunity to asked my mother to buy it.At first ,my mom still hesitating. But because of my million begging she accepted it. On that day, I was so happy that I almost jumped to the tip of the sky.But 1 condition that my mom uttered was I must take good care of it and the most important was CLEANED ITS POO EVERYDAY!!!!!I accepted the condition and in a blink of an eye. The dog was in my house and i named it REX.

Rex was 6 month old when i bought it.It was borned in January 23.It had a gold colour coating fur.It was obedient and liked to licked my feet. Everyday when I came back home from school Rex would jumped right on me and kept stucking out its toungue.It would kept running around my feet and licked my toes.My family would laughy in joy if it did that.In the evening I will play with it in the park.In he park, I remembered once when it was bullied by a big stray dog ,It didnt ran away like a "chicken" in fact it barked fiercely at the stray dog and growls at it.Amazingly the dog ran away making sounds liked it was scared.I was admired by its courage and it actually taught me a lesson.

During night time, Rex sleep under my bed,sometimes it get up my bed and licked my face and I got fed up with it everytime when it did that. Once, when I woke up ,I saw Rex sleeping soundly on my body and I yelled loudly"REXXXXX!!!!!!" at him. Rex was a greedy dog,when I was eating something and it spotted me, It wouldnt jumped on me and grabbed my food, but instead it kept sitting and showed its pity face at me.At first when I saw it, i gave him some.But when days passed, and it kept using that trick, I didnt care him anymore.And what it did later was turned back and rolled it eyes like it was telling me that"Dont give Dont GIVE La!!! Selfish master..."

Years and years had past until I had to leave Rex.I would not forget the day I left Rex. That day when I was ready to leave,Rex was staring at me with a sad face ,it kept licked my hand softly.Behind it eyes i sure I could see watery in his eyes.I touched it head wearing my shoe,ready to board.When I walked to the car door it barked at me.I wouldnt forget how it bark at me the sound was different from its normal bark. In father's car mirror I could see Rex wanted to chase my father's car but my mother stopped it.

Although I could hardly see it ,but its image will never vanish in my mind.

Projects Day competition

As a part of Hwa Chong all students are required to take part in Projects Day competition, and it is compulsory to all sec 1's and sec 2's. I'm quite proud of taking part of this competition because it is fun and interesting. It can help me to build up teamwork and socialisation too! This competition is quite special because it actually counts mark in Independance Study subject. Others school may not have this kind of program but Hwa Chong actually have it!

In this competition, it was divided into about 10 catagories and we sec1's were recomended to choose this 4 catagories-invention, experimental researh, language arts(Eng and Chinese).Because we are new to this program so during the sec 1 assembly ,we are introduced by our beloved teachers that willing to spend their precious time just to guide us and give us more explanation in details for us. Not just that only, during the research studies, all teachers of each catagory came by that day to introduced more deeply on the respective catogaries. Firstly the teacher who in charge in experimental research gave her speech. During her speech, I knew that some experiment were not recommended to do research and conduct experiment like:causes of tsunami, the effect of brains after drinking a cup of coffee.............This kind of experiment were to hard to conduct experiment. As the teacher had said if the experiment we make is a failure we should redo.Besides that,the teacher also mention some sucessful works to us that was made by the se1's last year.

Secondly,is the invention catagory this catagory is quite difficukt to do because we have to do a prototype and have to do alot of research and take opinions from the others and see if the inventions is a suceed.So, sudents from last year that chose this catagory had met alot of failure because sometimes the prototype breakdown, and sometimes during presentation ,the prototype was not working, all sorts of problem. Next, is language arts .The objective of these speeches were to let us know more about the catagories of the competition.And as for me im taking part in inventions.

Male Child and Love

Last week, i had read two short stories that are fascinating and attract me alot.They are written in a book called "little ironies".This book was written by Catherine Lim. Between these two stories-male child and love. If you asked me which story i prefer the most, I will say these two story have their own good plots. But if I have to really choose either one, I think "Male Child" is better cause that story actually makes me feel pity to the wife that had to suffer giving birth to so many female babies and the husband still not satisfact to what had taken place. He kept denieing the fact that he won't get a male child no matter what orelse he expected his wife to give birth like 100 babies in order to get a male child? But what had happened in the later story is that he actually wanted to has a female baby in his wife next birth in a few months. He was so damn ridiculous for what he was trying to do in the endings. Ggrrrr.....i just can't imagine it ,it was .....it was TOO RIDICULOUS!!!!

In the endings, he caught an eye of a beautifuly grown woman that was young. For the sake of owning her, he had an unnessecarry evil thoughts floating in his minds. And it were dumping his wife on a side with her six daughters. And he planned to buy a luxurious house for his "future" wife and had a baby with her ! But it must has one condition, if her wife give birth to a male child, he would stay with her,if its a female AGAIN ...he would left her behind. In the endings,theres a phrase that melted my heart was "if it is a girl child this time ,you may take another wife, and i shall not complain .You may bring her to live in this house ,and I shall be subject to her.I shall explain the matter to my old mother so that she too will accept it."

After reading that ,my eyes actually burst into drops of tears flowing down my cheeks.And the last paragraph excites me the most cause at the end the three characters were waiting the first cry of the baby.I was so nervous because the ending was the most thrilling part but it doesn,t tells the ending.Haiz.....I just can't blame it cause I'm reading short stories.Every stories had a uncomplete endings it just left it there for our futher imaginations.But i really hope the male child story had a happy ending.

This story was so well written, I am quite proud of reading this such emotional story but this question always appear in my mind-"why short stories don't have a satisfactory ending?"
