1) It is better to be safe and not take risks. How far is this true?
I believe that everyone and anyone will faces not just challenges but problem too. Therefore when time like this comes we have to have the clear mind of what decisions to make in order to handle all the problems. Indeed true that we need to take risks in solving these problems, however we still need to think it over again before making decidisions that will require you to have any risks.

Adding to what i have said, taking risks is just part of your life. There will always be many opportunity that require you to take at least one risk. Therefore I feel that taking risks might be safe as well compared to not taking a risk at all.

Many people would rather stay on the safe side than taking risks. They know that by taking risks, in return they will have to lose something that is important to them. Taking risks is nothing wrong. I once heard a say from my primary school teacher, taking risks is a part of life. In order to be success, people tend to take risks, but of course they know that they are going to have the winning bet. In order to take risks and at the same time be safe, it is very impotant to have your 'homework' done. Just not long ago, i went for a competition. The teacher just keep telling us that in the businness world, businness men, women often take risks, so there is no wrong in taking risk ...

2) It is foolish to look for excitment in dangerous activities.
Oh of course, in this modern days, fast running time, people in the working department will always say that time is running out, i am very stressful. Even for kids like us now are also facing stress. In order to relieve ourselves from from all this problem, we will tend to find some activities for a group of people to do together. For example bungee jumping. Just by looking at the name we can infer that that it is exciting. True enough, bungee jumping is really fun and exciting. However, people will risks their life for nothing if something goes wrong during the jump. No one will know. I believe that there are many activities that will be fun and exciting. For example camping is one of them, or maybe hiking, mountain climbing. Thus, I agree that it is foolish to look for excitement in dangerous activities.

By doing something that will not risks your life is a way of good activites. Adding to this, they can participate in the activities with their family members and friends ...

3) Women in society. What are their roles these days?
In the past, where women do not have the equal treatment as the men have. They do not have roles to play in society. All they got to do was just by marrying to a man and by giving a next genaration. In the olden days, they were not given proper education. However, as time passed by, many can say that are a part of this modern life whereby some had benn above men.

As for now, both men and women had been treated equally. Till an extend that some women overwhlemed men. Many of the women nowadays prefer being single and to concentrade on their career, and from this, it had result in enconmic growth...

4) Qualitly that you would look for in a friend?
Before i start, why not ask myself a question? What is friend to you?
To me, friend is someone whom i can share my sadness and happiness with. A friend that can understand me and support in my decidision whenever i nid it. Everyone in this world will,must have a friend because friend is whom can help during danger. Therefore, we have to look for some inner qualities in that 'friend'.

Firstly, a friend of mine should be a honest person. For example, when things are done wrongly and he know that he is in a mistake, he will owe it and apologise.An honest man is a wise man that will tell white lies. i as a friend would not mind him telling lies if it is for no harm. Therefore, to me honesty is the most important quality which a friend should have.

Next, a friend of mine must be helpful and kind towards everyone and anyone. A friend should help others when they need help. For example, when i nid him to help me to pass message or help me to carry something, he will automatically help. Of course in retur, i will do the same!
These are the qualities which I look for in a friend....

5) Advancement in medical knowledge - boon or bane?
In the past, there was no such things call technology. However now, many of them appeared, and one of the technology invented due to the reason of medication. Nowadays, there is a lot of improvement in medical knowledge. This advancement technology can be a blessing to people and a trouble to others.

People sometimes consider it as a boon because it helps to cure illnesses and save lots of lives.
In the past, whereby people tend to get sick but there was no way to cure them however all these sickness to now are considered as minor illnesses. Can you imagine if one day, there are all sort of viruses attacking the human body, and with all these equipment and technology we have, we are able to defeat them one by one.
However to others, they consider this advancement as trouble. The reason is there are also harmful experiments done due to the advancement. For example, cloning. Some people use the medical knowledge to do such experiments. It could sometimes cause harm to people. Therefore, some people consider it as a bane....

6) Would the world be a safer and cleaner place without science?

Science in the modern world had improved our life in a lot of ways. Therefore without science, we will not lead a easy life. Science techonology have helped us to keep places safer and to have a better enviroment. For example, it has shown us different ways of keeping our area green and safe.

Having said that, it has also caused harms. Science alway require experiments and sometimes pollution have occured during the process of experimenting. For examples of pollutions are air and water.

Therefore, I feel that science can helped us in a lot of ways but we should use science wisely.

7) Science has done more harm than good? Do you agree?

I do not agree that science has done more harm than good. Therefore, i think that science has helped as a lot. For example, using science technology, it has helped us in medical equipments. Using all these technology done by science, i believe that it is a boon to us.

Adding to it, science has also been use as a military weapons. For example, combining sciences and enginering to create powerful weapons that helped to defend our country ...

RE: Chinese New Year

Today post is all about Chinese New Year. Therefore wishing everybody who had read this post a very Happy Chinese New Year. Before the chinese new year, i was rather excited and crazy over it. It was beacuse when chinese new year comes, firstly i will hav a long break. Followed by travelling around Singapore visiting my relatives collecting red packets. However, i do not feel the same compare to other years. Comparing other years i can be mad over i but not this year. Still putting my studies as my priority ,and therefore did not really enjoy this years.

I had forgotten. Chinese new year should not talk about studies all the while.

On the every eve of the Chinese New Year, our school had also celebrate together. Looking everyone expression was like very happy but not my. The reason behind it was actually very simple. Basically i was like the overall in charge with Sasi and Hassinah, and we was like very nervous about it as we were afraid of mistake made during the concert.However after the concert i went for some celebrations then went to my granny house for dinner

On the first day of Chinese New Year, I woke up late as I slept near midnight. When i woke up it was around 1 in the afternoon. The next moment my mother went in my room and prepared my new year clothes. I was happy as the day of me wearing new clothes had came. Due to something sad that happened to my family before new year. My mother did not went back to my grandma house for visit. After the visit we went back to my granny house and stayed there till midnight again. Collect only 12 red packet is really bad. However the amount in those packs were rather shocking. As the time goes by, i started playing with my crelative some simple cards games whereby we would always play during our celebrations.

On the Second day of Chinese New Year, I did not go anywhere but went back visiting my gandma. We stayed there till night again. During dinner time, we had different varity of foods. Stayin there doing nothing made me bored so i went out for a walk in the nearby place. It was dark at that time so i did not really walk very long. After that, i went back for supper while the adualts continued playing their game.

At around 2 in the morning my family and i then reached home.

RE: TARGETS AND EXPECTATIONS / REOLUTIONS FOR THE YEAR 2008

For this year, I had started planning what things that I must achieve in. Firstly need not to say definitely got to do well in my O LEVELS. The most crucial exam in the secondary school life. In other words, is just coming soon. In order to achieve what I had planned, I will definitely had to pull up my socks and focus in what I am doing. Otherwise, I am not going anywhere far. Then again, my aim is not just simply to pass the O LEVELS, but to get the score of L1R5 below 18, aiming a junior colleage is easy but getting in is difficult. Therefore putting in effort is a must to all secondary four students. Hopefully that all can make it through. By aiming the score for junior colleage dose not mean that I want to enter one but just to make sure I can enter a better course in my polytechnic life. Having said that, without the capabilty of doing so, I must buckle up in my studies, espcially my A maths. Having A maths tuition is not enough. Pratising will make it prefect. On the other hand, studies will not be as important as my family. They all are giving enough trust and confidence to excel my studies. Even I am not good in it but I will still try. My only wish for studies is by leaving this small little country and enter somewhere that is far away that had much better education. Talking about education in another country. It reminds me of Clifford. Hope that he could do well in his studies in there.

RE : HOW I SPENT MY HOLIDAYS. THE MOST INTERESTING EENT THAT HAPPENED TO ME DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

During this holidays, nothing much special happened to me. Just kept attending lessons for the first two weeks. At the start of December, something interesting happened. The work days had come. I started to work as a packer. Adding to it, I am also a delivery boy who helps to deliver the goods. My company is quite famous in its name which had bought stress to me cause we are packing FOOD. Therefore if any mistake made might cause to bring bad names and bad impact on the company. The working hours are the same as normal workers over there. Eight hours per day can made me earn more than fourty-dollars. Moreover, I am counted lucky as I am the selected person to do overtime. Resulting in earning more money than others. Compare working to staying at home doing nothing. I would rather work. It is because by workng, I not only learn about what the social life is nowadays and also face the reality that in the 21st century, you really need a degree in order to ge a better job. Thus, in this particular holiday, I really learnt a lot just by working itself.
