picture-----identity


This is the College Hall & Canteen in our campus. the reason why I feel that this is my favorite part of the school as I come to this part of the school regularly to eat as the food here is 10 times better than the high school side and I come here also for my cca volleyball. I feel that this is very peaceful place in our school during the time I come here as the JC students are having lessons and very few high school students actually comes here. Hence it allows me to do my homework, rest, play and reflect in peace without disruptions. It is linked to my identity as like this part of the school, I like quiet times as this allows me to be in peace and relax after the long school hours and also to reflect on the day and when the bell rings, the place is crowded and noisy just like me in class. So I hope you will like this post.

comic :)


Hi everybody, this is my comic that i have created during elearning. The theme is racism with the white man looking down on the china old man. This scene takes place in a street whereby the old man is standing in front of the wall begging for money whereby he got insulted by the white man. I chose the street because it looked kind of gloomy, a perfect place for a person to beg and for 'crimes' to happen with the rich looking white man insulting him. Hence I hope you this

Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love REFLECTION


In my opinion, this song means that racism is bad and to the fight against this. It talks about how youngsters are getting involved in gangs, influenced easily by bad stuff and getting themselves in a lot of trouble. This also tells us how horrible this world is with suffering and death everywhere with people getting killed form these and hurt from things such as war in Iraq. We need to fix our situation. we cant be going to war as it says in the song "if you practice what you preach then you turn the other cheek" this is not only referring to war but other issues that take place in Singapore whether it be racism etc. In conclusion, this song is
In this passage, the part that have the strongest effect from me is
"calling out all of the hatred and to call in the love today.
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?"

This part of the song is so real in these days that we are so stressed in our lives and easily get angry over trivial matters and this anger accumulates to become hatred. Also we Singaporeans are normally shy and do not express their love to those around us and we often do not practise what we preach by scolding others on their mistakes but not reflecting on one selves before doing so.

task 1------book reflection


Over the holidays, i have read a book called 'how to kill a mocking bird'.

This book is very good as it has a lot of rich meaning in it. To start this reflection, this book is about how 2 innocent people are the victims of discrimination and are linked to the mockingbirds and there are great people like Atticus to stop this.

After reading the book, many thoughts ran through my mine. In my opinion, now the world is very corrupted with violence, bloodshed and crime everywhere, don't you think that there are so many 'mocking birds' suffering day by day without justice and respect? Discrimination is also happening everywhere with people affected badly. For instance, a guy who is an ex-convict will find it so hard to find a job in society because everyone thinks he is bad without knowing he has turned over a new leaf, his family may have deserted him too. These thoughts have impacted me in a way that perhaps i will be more mindful of this and when the opportunities come like a guy getting bullied, i will try to stop the bully. Using such small actions would have given a positive impact on the victim's life and he can life a joyful life which he deserves, just like the 2 victims in the book should have.

This is how this book has left an impact on me. Thanks for reading.
