Term 1 Week 4 Assignment





  Term 1 Week 4 Assignment


My favorite part of the school would be my technical third home, the track. I spend a lot of time here as this is where I have my CCA. My CCA is very time consuming and thus I spend most of my time here. It is here I bond with my fellow CCA mates and we go true the torture of CCA together.
  The track is also where we assemble every morning. We stand there and sing the national anthem and the school song on Mondays. It is here that we all gather as a school to remind us that we are united. That 15 minutes there everyday adds up to a lot of time in a year.
  It is also at the track where most sports related activities take place. Such as our school's cross country run, the HCI-NYGH Annual Sports Meet and many others. The field is a place that many of us will remember after leaving school as it is a place where many memories will be formed, whether its when we get into trouble and have to stand in front of the school, whether its when we grit our teeth and go true gruesome training or whether its running with some ugly like crap NYGH girls, we will always remember these memories of our lives.

Term 1 Week 3 Assignment

  Before saying anything , let me just say sorry for handing in this late.
  Okay now to me , I find this song very meaning full. It is talking about how selfish people are , thinking only about themselves. Selfish people lead to wars and countries doing things which kill many innocent people. Selfish people lead to terrorists bombings , killing people. Selfish people do things to make their lives easier , better or cause they just like it. They don't think about what bad things they are bringing to others people. As everyone has been selfish once in their lives , so this song by the Black Eyed Peas is here to remind us that we should not be selfish. It brings harm.
  This song also tells us about how some people , in order to earn a quick buck , polluting nature. More green house gases , killing our earth. This song constantly reminds us that we only have one place to make friends on , one place to thrive on , and only one place to call home. That is our place , our home , mother earth. If we do not take care of her , we risk losing her , and our one and only home, and without that, in simple words we're screwed.
  So , in my opinion , I think that this song is constantly telling us we can't be selfish. It causes other people to be hurt. It also hurts our one and only home. So to make a long story short , don't be selfish (:

Term 1 Week 2 Weekend Assignment

A song that I have recently heard that has impacted me would be "Pray" by Justin Bieber. I like this song a lot as this is the only song he has written that doesn't show him as a lesbian involve girls (: Here are the lyrics :

Ohh Ohh Ohh .. and I pray
I just cant sleep tonight.
Knowing that things aint right.
Its in the papers, its on the tv, its everywhere that I go.
Children are crying.
Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray

I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight.
And when I sit up, cause my dinner is still on my plate.
Ooo I got a vision, to make a difference.
And its starting today.

Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey

Haven`t tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day

I close my eyes and pray
For the broken-hearted.
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing.
I pray for all the souls in need.
I pray. Can you give em one today.
I just cant sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray

I pray ..

I close my eyes and pray ..


  This song is has impacted me in such a way that it has made me see more of the problems other people in other parts of the world are facing , and it makes me realize how fortunate Singapore is. We have food and water while in other countries , there are people with no homes , food or water.  This song also makes me want to do my part for society and help those countries which are in need. It also makes me realize how fortunate Singapore is to be safe from wars. However those countries which are currently participating in war , or any other acts of violence are just wasting the precious and limited resources of the earth , causing more green house gases and consequently bringing us closer to the end of the world or '2012'..

  Also , from the wars and violence in other countries , many people are left with no homes. I cannot imagine myself living in the streets with no electricity at night and no computer for facebook.... Also , due to war many innocent people are dieing for almost no reason as if there was no war , these people would be getting on with their normal lives. They wouldn't have to live in fear of dieing or their family members dieing. Some people take an eternity to forget about their lost loved ones in war and even longer to forgive the people that cause it. It is painful to lose a family member , and it is really painful (physically) to be shot.
 
  Finally , I feel that the thing that Singapore really is fortunate for is the fact that Singapore is seemingly safe from natural disasters. Wars and lack of food and water can all be prevented by having measure such as peace treaties and a good government so that the people won't go hungry , however natural disasters like floods , volcanoes, droughts , earthquakes , etc etc , cannot be prevented. However , they can be felt. I hope all those who hear this song will have a drive to help those in need.

THE END :)
