Haha, watch these videos

Oh, a quick reminder...

  Just so you know, I have removed the two videos, "21 Guns" and "Know your Enemy" as I put them on this new widget called "MyPod". It's at the top right hand of the screen, below the "About Me". Enjoy the music!

It's the week(day) today!

Hi all,

  I'm halfway through the September school holidays. The first three days of the holiday was spent in school for extra lessons for all Primary Six pupils taking PSLE. (Duh, all primary six students have to take PSLE)

  On my countdown calendar, it's only 19 days away to PSLE, excluding all weekends, school holidays and public holidays. I feel both excited and fearful at the same time, excited because PSLE is near and once it's over, it's OVER! And fearful because I keep feeling that I haven't studied enough. (And still, here I am, blogging. Oh well.) To ensure that us students receive sufficient revision, the teachers are constantly piling truckloads of homework on us.(That may be a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea)

  Speaking of "truckloads" of homework, here is my "truckload' of work:

1.PSLE Science booklet pages 31 to 40

2.Math Practice paper 7 booklet A

3.Math Practice paper 7 paper 2

4.English Composition

5.Queenstown Primary School PSLE prelims paper

6.MT revision practice 5

7.MT multiple choice comprehension

8. ANOTHER MT multiple choice comprehension

9.Chinese Composition

Sigh...19 more school days to go...

The Corn Plot

Hi all,

  At the beginning of the year, our form teacher, Mrs Tay, opened up an old facility of the school (really old, last time we checked, it was about 20 years old)  which is known as the corn plot. It used to be a place for planting seeds for science purposes. When she showed it to us, it was in an unkempt state, with weeds growing everywhere, soil spilled on the pathways, and stuff like that. So Mrs Tay told us it was ours, and she gave us some corn seeds to start with.

 After a few periods of weeding, loosening soil and planting, we finally got the corn plot in order. Since then, we would check on the corn plot daily to see how our "crops" were doing. However, we ran into a problem.

  On one fine day, my friends and I entered the corn plot and to our horror, we found some of the corn plants crushed! We saw footprints on the soil around the plants and did not take long to figure out that someone stepped on our corn plants. (Probably on purpose, as not many people knew there was a corn plot.) We didn't find out who the culprits were, but we managed to revive some of the obliterated corn plants. To prevent any further mishaps like that, we came up with a solution: Lock the corn plot. (Well, DUH!)

  After months of loosening soil, killing pests and watering the plants, we finally saw the fruits of our labour! (Literally) The corn plants had bore corn! However, we did not dare to eat it as we have seen ants and snails crawl over the corn before.

  So we just distributed the corn seeds into the soil again and repeated the process. For some reason, not all of the corn seeds germinated! Only some did (Now they're pretty big)

  Now you may be thinking, "Growing corn under the hot sun? You kids are crazy!" Well, let me tell you, we had a lot of fun in the corn plot. For example, we found a branch on a tree that had a heavy top and twig stubs on it. (We thought it would make the perfect club) So we used all sorts of methods to get the branch off the tree. For example:

1.Throwing bricks at the branch

2.Using a long metal pole and applying the law of leverage to the branch

3.Stepping on the branch (Two people at one time)

4. Using sticks to whack the branch

  However, none of these methods worked. In a desperate attempt, I brought my pocket knife to school and sawed the branch off. When the club came off, we named it "The Clubby Club" and rejoiced by smashing any nearby objects that could be smashed. But to our dismay, the club disappeared about a month later.

  Currently, we are taking care of the corn plants and making piles of soil. (And searching for the sacred "Clubby Club")

Halo:The Fall of Reach Review

Hi all,

  I have just finished reading the book "Halo:The Fall of Reach" by Eric Nylund. It is about a boy called John (also known as The Master Chief) and how he grows up as a Spartan (not the old ones in 300) and how the UNSC ( United Nations Space Command) battle against the ferocious Covenant, which is an alien race. The setting is in the year 2517 to the year 2552.

  If you are familiar with the Halo games, you will know the terms the book uses. (Yeah, people who don't play Halo are totally clueless about the terms used in the book.)

  The Covenant are an alien race which intends on wiping out mankind. One of them looks like this:

 

  Yup, it looks totally freaky. I recommend this book to anyone interested in science fiction, war or technology.

Rating: 8.5/10

I got into SST!

Hooray!

  Ten minutes ago, I discovered that I got into SST! At 2.30, my dad asked me to go to check the mailbox and I found a letter addressed to me. At that moment, I was thinking: "Let me get in! Let me get in! Let me get in!" As I opened the letter, I could feel my heart beating. When I pulled out the letter, my heart almost stopped. "Congratulations!" was the first word on the letter. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and I did a victory dance in the lift.

I feel overjoyed! Now all I have to do is to get into Express stream (PSLE Aggregate:200 and above)
