Technology news: Halo:Reach finally reaches eager fans

In my opinion, many people must be really happy that the games has finally been out after a long waiting,probably after this there will be less complains from the fans. Halo is a really popular video game for Xbox produced by Bungi, this game is the last of the halo series. Halo is a combat shooting game in a first person's view,it has amazing sound effects and graphics, as a player myself, I've only played one of the game series myself,thus I could understannd why many people like it so much, it has nearly over 2.7 million fans!I do hope there will be positive feedbacks about the last halo game as it is the last game in the halo saga

Reflection

3 new things I have learnt this term, one of them was the importance of unity. One of the secret ingredient to a successful performance was unity, because without it everything would be in a mess and nobody would enjoy the performance we put up. The other thing I learnt was time management, an important skill required in Home Econs. Without a good time management skill, we would not do a good job out of it thus, time management is an important skill I learnt this term. Lastly, I learnt something important from the camp I went to, and that is team spirit, when we are in a team full of strangers we have to learn to cooperate with each other, get to know each other than the usual people we hang out with, we' ll find out the people we work with are better than we think.

Two things I would like to improve on is history and socialbility. I would'nt say I don't like history because I find that history is interesting, I aim to improve on my history by trying to read it more often and getting to know it, as a quiet girl, I aim to try to talk more often and be more brave in many ways as socialbility is important to us in many ways, as we grow up, we need to interact with more people from around the world.

Lastly, the one thing I would like to learn is making paper cranes, it is an interesting hobby to do when we have free time and it is also a very good hand exercise for people playing piano as piano requires alot of fingering movements for them. I hope that the things I learnt this term would be useful in the future for me.

Living in Singapore

There are many reasons why people live in Singapore, each time if somebody ask a local, they would give many different positive answers. Singapore has many unique things to talk about, the buildings, the road names, the food and many more. Buildings like the esplanade which is shaped like a durian, the merlion, the flyer, and recently, the sky garden. Singapore also have fun places to go like Escape theme park and Universal Studios. Singapore is also surrounded by many trees, I remember the time I went to Hongkong, Macau, there were nearly no trees at all while Singapore has so many. There are many different people in Singapore, people from China, Thailand, the Philipines , Malaysia and Australia, New Zealand and many more. In school, there are students from different countries, scholars from Indonesia ,Philipines and Malaysia. I remember a scholar friend of mine, would always comment how nice and unique Singapore is. Singapore is also a country full of many races, chinese,malay,indians, peranakans and hindi people. On Racial harmony day, they would come in their traditional costume and tell us more about their culture and language. This is what I like about Singapore

Myth legends, folklores and fairytales

The two stories I've selected is "Eliza and Athena" and "The Monkey and the Crocodile". Eliza and Athena is about a princess named Eliza who was very lazy and can't even do the simplest things herself and had always called the servants to help her, finally one day, a father ,the king, decided to punish her by setting a room with just a loom and told her to loom a blanket and Eliza called for Athena. Mostly the story is about laziness and how ants came about. The Monkey and the Crocodile is mainly about being smart. It is about a crocodile's wife wanting to eat a monkey's heart, so the crocodile went and try to cach a monkey from a tree but in the end the crocodile fail to do so. I like Ëliza and Athena"the best as it teaches us not to be lazy when doing things

Food and Culture

I love many local food in Singapore like Chinese food and many more. One of my favourite food is seafood in Singapore, I love seafood like prawns,fish,tofu and many more as all of them are really nutritious. I also like spicy food like laksa , curry chicken and chilli crab. Whenever my family goes to a seafood restaurant they would sometimes order chilli crab which is expensive as well as deliciousbecause it is spicy but the meat is not. Laksa is one of the spicy food I tasted, it is a malay dish but it is also really spicy that I have to drink alot of ice water. Curry chicken is another malay dish I love, my grandmother sometimes cook it for us to eat, it is also hot and spicy.I also like Nasi lemak, yet again another malay dish. My mother would sometimes buy it for me whenever I come back for lunch, the chicken and luncheon meat are really delicious it it is not spicy but sweet.

My next favourite food is the japanese food in singapore, sometimes me and my family would go to a japanese restaurant for dinner we would order sushi and many more, I love the udon noodle and katsu curry over there the noodle with the soup is really good and healthyand the katsu curry is not hot at all, I also love the prawn sushi over there sometimes we buy it for nightsnack sometimes.

HISTORY LESSON: Life During the Japanese Occupation

During the Japanese occupation, some people were placed in prison where all prisoners with different races, customs and religions were forced to behave naturally. Everyone in there had to shower together under a long pipe with only a piece of soap. They had to be quick in their actions on whatever they had to do. Some prisoners passed away from infections like dysentery which caused severe diarrhoea. One of the ominous policies of the Japanese was the wartime exploitation of women. Women were forced into flesh trade which was mainly known as prostitution and there was also force labour in those days. Japanese schools were also opened in those days, one of the school rules was that if you see a soldier along the corridors of the school, you have to bow to him if not the students would get brutal beatings by the Japanese

Educators say schools are the best starting points for integration matters

In my opinion, I would also agree that when it comes to the matter of integration matters, school is a great starting point for everybody. Many people are usually comfortable with local schools as they are able to communicate easily. Foreign students may feel uncomfortable in a school that is not their religion but as they get along with the local students, they will not feel left out in school and the local and foreign students could learn more about their country and culture
