Welcoming the arrival of term 2

One term have passed. The times in hwa chong in term 1 was really quite tough as i have to pick up subjects new to me like geopgraphy. I have to adapt to the changes in secondary school as compared to primary school. Everything is different from before, including the style of learning etc. But well, i do enjoy the times in hwa chong in term 1. Despite the setbacks like my poor results i have to face, i manage to get over it and decide to work harder than before. Let's wish this term would be a wonderful term for us and enjoy everyday in school! For your information, i have changed my blogskin and thus, enable comments to be posted for a particular post. So feel free and leave your comments, for both improvement and some personal view for my particular post.

camping

Hello guys and girls! I am back. Sorry for not updating. Well, today, I am going to post about my trip on the camp. Overall, I think I benefited a lot from the camp. I learn to cherish everything I have, even if its is just a bowl of porridge. During the three days two night camp and sarinbum camp site, I, in fact most, suffered, but learnt a lot of valuable things. During the camp, we had food that does not match our appetite, a place we would not ever want to stay in. But we were left we no choice. I was arranged to stay in tent.

But due to our hunger and the need of energy for activities, we had to eat it despite the fact that the food was really not nice. This two factors, living condition and food, is enough to reflect on how fortunate, how lucky we people are. People who are poor might not have nice place to live in, nice food to eat. But we Singaporean, take a lot of things for granted. Sometimes, we even complain that a bowl of plain porridge is not nice enough. Through this camp, I learnt how fortunate we guys are, and we should not take things for granted, not even a grain of rice.

Of course, we also have bonding games, activities that we had to work together in order to reach a goal. We work well together, and get to know each other better. This helps to strengthen the bond between our friends. And we also had fun together, leaving a memorable times with our new friends in secondary.

Well, I hope that the school can organize more camp, such that we can have fun together with our friends. In conclusion, I want to comment that the camp
