Believing in yourself
Last week our teacher, Mr Lau, showeds us a Star Wars movie clip and a movie about Roger Bannister, the man who ran a mile (about 1.6km)in less than 4 minutes. If you believe in yourself, many great thing will happen. I felt that the clips were good 4 the whole class as it makes us believe in ourselves. We must never try but do whatever we want to do. There is no such thing as try but onli do or do not. I believe it is very important to believe in one's self as we usually depend on our confidence without knowing it. Hence, believing in one's self is very important.

Activities outside school

2day I'm gonna blog about my activities outside sch. Many pupils in my sch have activities outside of sch especially during the weekends. I have only 1 FUN activity outside sch the rest r mostly boring but Good 4 my education. The only Fun activity is Badminton. It's a passion n hobby my brother,sister, father n i luv. I used 2 have an art activity but my parents made me quit it... I usually play badminton on Wednesday n Sunday , 2 hrs every time... At first I joined badminton because my dad "forced" me to ( I was only 7 when he asked me to join...) In the end, i still quit it but when i was p4, i started to have interest in badminton again so I went 4 coaching and now I play in sch. I luv badminton as it help me exercise and lets me hit things to release my anger n not get scolded. In sch I have loads more activities but somehow I managed to balance them hope I keep it up!^^ I think be in in outside sch act. is very useful to some people it helps them in education, skills n values. I hope people take part in Good activities.

Target Setting
Setting targets are like setting your goals. That is how we are motivated to reach our targets. Setting targets are quite useful but at the same time, they can be very stressful. For example, you will be totally stressed out if you don't reach your targets and may snap, but if you reach your targets, you will be totally jubilant and motivated to get better and higher marks for your next exams. As I set my targets, I will always strive for very high marks, but usually fall short. That does not stop me! We must always remember to be optimistic no matter what. I am going to archive my targets by paying attention to the teacher more, ask my friends and parents more if I am not sure or understand questions. My parents help me a lot and stay up to help me sometimes and told me that if i do well for PSLE, they will take me to anywhere in the world. I will motivate myself saying that just get over your PSLE and exams and you can go to any country in the world you want to go to and can hang out with your friends more. That is why we should target set to motivate ourselves.

Total Defence Day
Total Defence day is a very important day to everyone. It is specially important to the elders which suffered in World War 2. This day is to commemorate the anniversary of the surrender of the British to the Japanese on Feburary 15, 1942 , precursoring 3 years and 8 months of Japanese Occupation. Schools in Singapore would remind students of the importance of Total Defence Day and to remind every Singaporean that Singapore is worth defending. This year the theme for Total Defence Day is " What will you defend? " If I could defend anything, it would be my best friends and family. I would sacrifice anything for my family and best friends, even my life if i have to, but it would only be for my family and best friends. If they need help, i would help. I will not turn my backs on them even for my enemies. (Because i barely have any." I hope by my actions i can make the world a better place to live in. why do I have to do this, u ask. It is because to me it is my duty to help anyone in need.
