Deepavali is nearing!!! :D

I am so elated that Deepavali is finally coming! I am very excited as i am inviting my friends to my house to celebrate. Let me tell you more about Deepavali...

Deepavali celebrate the return of Rama and Sita, in the story from the Ramayana. The story shows how good wins over evil. 

Here is a brief outline of the story:

Prince Rama and his wife, Sita, are banished from their home in Ayodhya by their father the King, Rama's brother, Lakshmana, goes with them to live in a forest. They are banished for 14 years. After many happy and peaceful years, Sita is kidnapped by the ten-headed demon Ravana. He takes Sita to his island of Lanka. With the help of the monkey warrior, Hanuman, Rama rescues his wife. The people of Ayodhya, light divas ( oil lamps) in rows to guide Rama and Sita back  from the forest to Ayodhya. On their return, Rama is crowned King. 

Hence, i am really looking forward to celebrating Deepavali with all my family members. However, my brother, who is secondary 4 now, can't really celebrate as the day after Deepavali is his O-Level Examination! I am so happy! Hehes i guess i am kind of evil.. :D  

To everyone celebrating Deepavali, Happy Deepavali!!!!!

Examination Fever

The examination fever is getting to me! The end-of-year examinations have come and all that i can do now is revise, revise and revise... In secondary school, we have many more new subjects that we have been introduced to this year. The new subjects include history and geography. The first examination was English composition, letter writing, comprehension and summary writing. I feel that i did very well for my composition. I did fairly well in my other three components.    
The next examination was tamil. I took the higher tamil paper. I am confident of getting A1 for it.

Woodlands Waterfront

 On wednesday, 28 September 2011, the school had arranged for all the Secondary 1 classes to do a CIP event at Woodlands Waterfront. We were supposed to go there and pick up the litter there. At first, when i heard about it, i was very confused as according to me, the Woodlands Waterfront was a very clean place. The school informed us that we had to walk all the way from school to the venue stated. All of us were very surprised when we heard that as the Woodlands Waterfront is quite far away from our school.


 After school, we had 15 minutes to grab a bite before assembling to start our journey to Woodlands Waterfront. At 3 pm, we assembled at the quadrangle. After a headcount, the teacher in charge started releasing the classes. When our class was released, we started walking towards our destination, being led by our teachers. On our way to the Waterfront, Jun Jia, Joanna and I kept shouting at slow-walking pupils to speed up so that we could reach the venue faster. After a long distance, we reached our destination. After a quick class photo, we collected our recycling bags. We then proceeded to the area assigned to us to clear. We then split up into groups and went around clearing rubbish such as glass pieces and cigarette buds.


After around 30 mins, we went to Mr Poh, who then told us to tie up the plastic bags. We then proceeded to the playground. Mr Poh gave us permission to purchase drinks from the vending machine. However, many of us were extremely tired and sat down to rest. Some of the boys who were very excited even went and played in the playground. I was truely amazed at their vitality. After 50 mins, we were dismissed and we made our way back to school.


Upon reaching school, Mr Poh gave us permission to be dismissed after ensuring that all of us were present. I then dragged my tired and lifeless body back home.
