Commonwealth post

I woke up in the morning, after the morning glare hit my eye, forcing me to get up. It seemed different, my surroundings, and I had also felt some uneasiness. Then, the answer dawned on me, right in front of me, literally. I looked at the clock, it was nine o’clock already and it was a school day!

I took my bag, ate the bread that was on the table my parents had prepared before they went for work, and rushed out to go to school. While I was running to school, that same uneasiness from the morning hit me again, but I was not very concerned about it, I was more worried about how my school teachers would reprimand me, and even more so about my parents. When I reached the school, surprisingly, although I was not a school athlete, I did not feel any exhaustion from the run, which would be about three to four kilometers. I continued running and running, and for some reason, even though I ran past my school’s two discipline masters, they did not shout at me for running, not even when they looked at me straight in the eye.

When I stopped at the front door of my class, everybody was looking at me and there was total silence, not even the slightest bit of noise. I walked into the class and greeted my teacher. Then, my heart missed a beat, maybe even two. No sound came from my mouth, but my teacher still pointed to my chair, with a face redder than an apple. Obviously that meant that I should go to my seat immediately, which I did, and at the same time, stunned. While I was still pondering about what had just happened, everybody stood up and bowed to the teacher, which I guessed should have meant that it was the end of the lesson. Thousands of thoughts and questions filled my head till I could have sworn that my head would burst anytime. I blindly followed the class to the canteen where some of my fiends gave me food to eat, which, to me tasted like nothing and had no smell. While walking, I tripping and fell on the edge of the table, which did not hurt at all. When I looked up, I saw my friend with a horrified look on his face, opening his mouth wide with nothing coming out. Then I thought about it, and feared that I had just somehow lost all my senses, except my sense of sight! I went mad and gone around the canteen to wreak havoc, before my friends held me back and tried to calm me down, which had no effect as I cannot even hear them. I managed to break free of their grasp and ran out of the school. I ran, not knowing where to go, where to stop. After I sorted my head out and thought that it was useless to run, I stopped to work out my next step, but some red droplets of water dripping from nowhere distracted me. When I looked up, the ‘water’ went into my eye. That was when I remembered that I had knocked my head against the table and the red droplets were blood. I carried on walking, thinking that I had to go to a hospital, but I did not even know where I was! Then, my vision became blurry, my head felt like a heavy rock waiting to drop, and my legs were as soft as rubber bands. It was a total darkness after that.

When I woke up, I could hear the bustling traffic near my house. I could smell the tasty food my mother had cooked for me. I could also feel the comfort of my bed, and the bandage around my head. I was confused at first, but thought nothing about it and took in all that I had lost a moment ago, which would be a few days ago. I felt refreshed after taking in all the smell, sound and feel, but when I opened my eyes, I saw blackness and nothing else. Fear overcame me. My life was never going to be the same again.

CA1 third post



I will be posting about my personal lifestyle, at home and at the holidays. During my holidays, all I thought and wanted to do was to play computer games, which is, until I got bored of it sometime during the end of the holidays. So, my father made a rule, to play computer games, I had to type a at least a 1000 words composition, which he gave chance, and let me take the composition, or maybe then, article to write on. At first, it was like hell to me, but after a while, I got used to it and from taking three hours to write 1000 words, it became one and a half hours. What's more it was chinese! With the 'hanyu pinyin' it could not get any worse. Thinking back now, I suppose that that was the only things I did during my holidays!
My school life has nothing special in actual fact but sometimes, I do realise that I get smacked with projects and homework that I think I cannot even finish!
When I get a lot of homework, I get very stressed and do not go to clean and tidy up my room , which in the end, becomes messy (the one on the left), as messy as my storage room! (right)
I do not really socialize, only making friends in school. But I still go to shopping malls, beaches, and places to relax.

CA1 second post

A difficulty I faced... I have many difficulties in my life, but the most recent one would be my bad habit, procrastination.
It has made me become very stressed, now, last time, way back to the time I was kindergarden 2.
For some reason, every time I know that I have homework, I will do it, but when I do the homework given to me, I will, over time, begin to become very tired. Like my father always tells me:"When you sleep during the day, you will not be able to sleep during the night, and be tired the next day as you did not sleep the night before". So, I will try not to sleep , but take a short rest before starting again. It works, and I can always do my homework , but sometimes, I feel that the deadline for the work is very long away, and will begin to sleep. And when the deadline comes, I will be extremely stressed, and rush my homework. Not exactly 'rush' but 'fast and steady' , which will still affect the marks. I have seemingly felt that I have not been doing that, but it should be because of the amount of homework the teacher gives us, which at the moment, is quite little. But I still hope that I will stop procrastinating as soon as possible!

CA1 first post

Very little things have happened over the past week ... It seems like I have passed another weekend of my life, doing nothing really special . But in school , there might have things that are different happening .
Well... Yesterday there was nothing special but , if you consider it special , an interesting lesson on refracting light by my class's teacher, Mr Koh!
The definition on light bending , change of speed , different density , so on... We were asked to do an experiment that will teach us more about the refracting of light , like the angles that the light bends at when a glass block is put in between the light's path. At first I did not really understand what Mr Koh was teaching or what he was saying about the experiment until I got a hands-on experience on it. I was very slow at first, but after understanding the things that I needed to do, I soon got faster and faster. People who completed early were given extra bonus marks, two extra marks for finishing early, and one for finishing a bit slower than Mr Koh's standard of slow( which then again, I think that the extra marks do not count in anything, but just as a moral boost, since it was not included in exam marks, I think). But when I finished, I did not get any extra marks as i was just on time, but not late.

My experience in making a Blog

hmmm... This is my first post on my first blog! I will try to improve it further as I learn how to ... Haha? It has been a quite short time to make the blog , like less than 5 minutes ? And to think that I spent like ...what? Fifty minutes just to wait for my friend, Ian , to create his account which , the irony is, he has not even made his blog! Maybe he has, in his home ... Then again , it was not his fault to waste so much time on the creation on his blog... It was the computer that caused it... There was many people that make me realise how important blogging or writing a journal. People like, my friends, teachers and stangers! This part is about the experience i had in making my blog.
