A problem that I encountered and how I solved it

For me, I feel that problems should be solved as soon as possible and face it bravely. Running away from our problems will not make it go away, but making it there forever. I had a problem at school, although not too big, but a problem that taught me a lesson: To be responsible.


I had left my CO badge on the school bus. I didn't know it at first, but when I took out my VS badge from my pocket to put it on, I realised that my CO badge was not in my pocket. I thought that I had put it in my other pocket at first, but when I had turned out all of my pockets, I realised that there was only one possibility: I had left it on the bus. I knew that I could not have left it in my house in my room, as I distinctly remembered that I had took it in my hand and put it in my pocket. But to double check, I searched my entire bag, but to no avail. Thus, I decided to send a text to all of my seniors in an attempt to secure myself a CO badge as I had practice that day. I ran up and down, locating each and every one of my seniors' classes in the twenty minutes left before the start of assembly. Sweat constantly rolled down my face as I huffed and puffed to get to the classes. Minutes were slowly ticking away and as the old proverb says: Time waits for no man. I was getting more anxious and frustrated by the minute. Where was someone who has an extra CO badge when you needed one?


Fortunately, Lady Luck was shining on me that day. I met one of my seniors on the way to another class, and he asked me why I was running as if all the hounds of hell were chasing after me. I recounted a detailed account of the situation to him, and when I finished, he gave me a grin, 'Well, why didn't you say so?' Still smiling, he fished out a CO badge for me. I thanked him profusely, and went back to my class, just in time for morning assembly. What a day!


I feel that all problems should be solved, but if the problems were not there at first, then it would have been easier. "Prevention is better than Cure" and I really agree. This is what I feel, even now.

A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed:)

Number one thing: I'm not emo.

Number two: I was alone that monday because no one was there in my SECTION!

Okay you might be wondering what I'm talking about. Well, you should know that my cca is Chinese Orchestra, CO for short. I play the Yang Qin, a kind of instrument that is shaped like a trapezium, which has 144 strings on it. It is also known as the Chinese Piano.

That day was the eighty-third day before the start of SYF, and I was alone because my seniors were all having either a HCL mock test or critical inquiry. Thus, I sat alone in the CO room playing my instrument. This is the moment I enjoy most alone...other than listening to music of course.

Playing music is a way of relieving your stress caused by all the work your teachers give you. It is a form of relaxation, like an anti-stress pill given in the form of something in the real world. Everytime I am practicing my instrument, I will always choose higher level songs so as to improve my standard of playing. If you don't already know, VSCO is one of the most successful COs in Singapore, as we have scored 5 golds consecutively:)

As I was saying , I like to play my songs alone as no one will come and disturb me when I am playing. And even if I play any mistakes,  nobody will be able to tell as I'm the only one playing!:) But sometimes, my instrument has its drawbacks, as whenever the strings break, I'll have to tie back the strings and tune it. Sometimes, the strings refuse to cooperate, and will end up moving out of their assigned spot. Most of the time, I will get frustrated, but when I hear perfect notes at the end of it, I'll beam with pride. Looking at my instrument sitting there ready to be played, all the painstakingly efforts seem worthwhile:)

Anyways, my instrument and I have gone through many concerts together, played a handful of songs, and enjoyed moments alone. To me, my instrument will always be the most perfect one for me, no matter what others might think. 

"It is not what others think, it is what YOU think."

Something unusual I saw one day

Cats are roaming around the estate of our houses daily. It is very common to see them purring, meowing and even fighting. However, I rarely see any injured or even dead cats around the estate. Yesterday, I saw a very unusual sight while walking home, so unusual it was terrifying. There is a very big drain at our estate used to store and deliver rainwater to prevent flooding. There are litters thrown by inconsiderate people into the drain. This was a common sight. However, when I was walking home past the drain yesterday afternoon, something caught my eyes. I saw some "black stuff" which I could not tell from far away. I ran home as quickly as possible to get my mini pair of binoculars. I raced back down to take a look of the "black stuff" and " Oh my God!" Its a dead cat with blood bleeding profusely! It was gruesome as I nearly puked when I saw it. I realised that the cat could have fell into the drain and because of the great height, died instantly. But recently, I read an article in the newspaper that the number of cats been abused had rose. Is it possible that the cat had been abused? When I turned around to head back home, I realised that a lot of people were looking at the cat and chattering among themselves. Poor cat...

Till now, I feel that animals have feelings like us and we should do our very best to protect them. The environmentalists are trying their very best to protect the forests and wildlife while the least we individuals can do are to stop abusing the animals. I feel sorry for the cat and angry to whoever responsible for its death. The next day which was today, I did not see the cat again.


Thinking about the poor cat again. Maybe I should create a funeral for it. May you rest in peace.

A moment spent doing something i EnJoYeD with my family:)

Countdown to CNY. 7 more days. Exactly ONE week. Seems so much FUN:) I'm looking forward to eating all the bak kwa or barbequed pork. Actually I ate some already. On monday. It was AWESOME. Looking forward to collect all my red packets. So I'll have more money in my bank:) Okay I'm going to perform for CNY next wednesday at school! Its going to be so much fun! AND remember to cheer for me at the end of the performance! Okay that was totally random.

This is my first for my blog for english assignment. And while I'm typing this out, I'm listening to awesome SNSD. You should try too:) They're really nice people. And awesome musicians. All right get back on task. I spent last week shopping with my mom and older brother. Shopping for new clothes for CNY:) But well I'm going shopping again next week WITH friends after school. Because its a half day for celebrating CNY:) I'm excited at the very thought of buying clothes again! Which goes to show that boys not only like to play computer games:) Anyways we went to Far East Plaza at Orchard, and Bugis Junction at well, Bugis. I bought a pair of jeans that had this weird spiral thing at the back pocket. But it was 50% off so we bought it for FUN FUN FUN! I also bought pair of khaki bermudas which had unique colour. And one shirt from esprit. Which was PINK. I heart pink:) Even though most people don't like it:(

After that we saw this weird guy who had Pink hair. I thought he was wearing a shirt, but his body was covered with tatoos. TOTALLY OMG.

Okay gotta go now. See you soon people:)

BYE BYE.

thoughts about blogging. hmm.

Hi people!

This is my first blog!! Yup, I know this is for a school assignment, BUT still excited^^. However don't think its going to be fun. SORRY EL DEPARTMENT. Okay get back on task.
Blogs are like online diaries for people who love the earth:) As they don't need to waste any paper in order to write about their day! Haha. But for me, people should not write too much  in a blog. Like with all the cyber talks going on and on about stalkers by using the internet, practically everyone can see what is going on in your life. Wow, that sounded weird haha!

I don't feel like writing anymore. Writing in a blog is so boring. I feel as if I'm a zombie:)
