Castles

2005-04-06T12:28:00.000+08:00

The Fight Of The Castle

BackGround
Back in the old medieval days, it was quite common that Queens and Kings take shelter from castles. The people built castles to show supremacy and power of the region. However these powers do not tend to last long.

In 1940, London. The city of London was on the verge of being overrun by the vicious power-hungry Germans, who would take anything by force. London experienced peace without the existence of the Germans. Although the country was divided into different 'classes', the people knew that the Germans were brainwashed into fighting with the Londeners and felt that Adolf Hitler was pure evil.

The fight dragged on for two more years until the Germans broke into a gap of defense. Defenseless peasants in the city was shot without any hesitation. The King and Queen hid in the castle, praying for help. Now the Germans were approaching the castle and reached the town square. Approached by the army of British soldiers, boths sides began attacking each other relentlessly. Gunfire was heard and many weapon artilleries were being deployed

The Brits lost and the German army carried on to the approach. Then came the the anti-Germans lead by some castle protectors. The will formed in protecting London gave the Londoners great strength. As the anti-Germans were too close to the Germans, neither sides could engage cannons or heavy weaponry. Melee fights occurred and many people lost their lives.

The Londeners won, and the losers flee away, leaving the city alone at last. The city was saved, as well as the symbol of its power, the castle. This was achieved by the heroes of London, the Londoners.

IQ vs EQ

2005-03-23T12:47:00.000+08:00

EQ (Emotional Quotient, NOT Education Quotient)

Definition
It is a kind of intelligence/skill that involves the ability to perceive, assess and positively influence one's own and other people's emotions. It refers to the ability to make others and yourself feel the same way. It involves the understanding of emotional meanings, the usage of emotions to facilitate thinking and the knowledge of knowing how to manage one's emotion. EQ is shown by one's preserverence and treatment towards others.

IQ (Intelligence Quotient)

Definition
It is a measure of Intelligence, and is related to different areas of academic performances (such as language fluency, 3-dimensional thinking). IQ is simply a score that is derived from the set of tests which are used to measure one's intelligence, by age. IQ is related to how intelligent a person is, and (like exams) would show the level of understanding a person have in a particular subject.

Tests - continued

2005-03-11T15:50:00.000+08:00

Wow. I guess I may be able to make through the exams after all. I have passed my A & E Maths as well as my social studies. I hope my othe 5 tests would do the same...

Tests

2005-03-09T12:31:00.000+08:00

The tests these days are getting more amazingly difficult and boring. The presence of failure can be felt although I have not sat through the entire exam yet. It is no doubt that I am feeling stressed due to the fear of flunking the exams. The tests are so difficult that I have wondered how the setters find solutions to solve them.

The tests which I am most worried about is my English, Social Studies, as well as the Physics test. I hope I would be lucky this time....

My 3 wishes

2005-03-02T13:16:00.000+08:00

My first wish, is to pass my O levels (along with other tests too) with flying colours (not red)

My second wish is to go to JC (to be admited to JC, you must pass English, Maths and get >44 marks for Chinese). (Polytechnic is okay to me though...)

My third wish is to have more than 44 marks in my Chinese (If I had a fourth wish, I would have wished to get another 100 more wishes)

My Dream

2005-02-23T12:41:00.000+08:00

My dream (not about my dream which I had last night) is to be a technology expert (known as a scientist). I have a unique taste for hi-tech equipment and I may at times open up appliances which my family wants to dispose. In fact, I liked technology so much that I excelled in it. However, I find science more vaguely connected to technology, rather than the subject Design & Technology. I set goals for myself to reach this dream/ambition, and I succeeded in achieving them.

My hobbies had something to do with technology. In my spare time, I enjoy to learn some programming languages such as Vb.net, Html, and C++. I am currently now learning html, as I find it interesting and could link it up on the web. Also, in cases where there is nothing much to do (December holidays), I would take out whatever components I have savaged and would examine it, or simply take out some electronic books to read.

I have worked so hard with my dream, but I am still far from it. I predicted that it will be years before I would be able to achieve it.

(:Happy Reading:)

The Canteen

2005-02-18T18:27:00.000+08:00

Our school canteen is one of the places which I enjoy to spend my time. It is packed with food and drinks, compared to last year and it is also a good place to relax. However, the amount and variety of items sold is still very limited (the school do not even sell potato chips!) and there is only about twenty different drinks available in the school. Fortunately, there is a minimart nearby the school...

Anyway, the school managed to improve the canteen by changing the tables and chairs and adding a mini-stage. There is even a grand piano in the canteen nearby the mini-stage that is available to almost everybody (I think...)! The school managed to redesign the canteen to make it look more pleasing and more desireble for enjoyment.

Drama Experience 2005

2005-02-18T10:13:00.000+08:00

Before the Total Defence day drama, I felt very excited. Personally, I think that this is a rare experience which we have gone through. Although I was given a task as easy as playing songs via computer, this was an important task. Even with the slightest mistake such as playing a media file at the wrong time. Every second counts in this task; if we are to play the song file a second too early, it will disrupt the carefully planed scheme for thr drama play.

I sort of liked the task of playing media files for the drama, this was because up do not like to go on stage with the audience right in front of me. Also, I am very good in computers and could play media files efficiently. This task seems to suit me well.

Although we received three rehersals to practice playing the media files and this drama came in short notice, we manage to make the real performance look as though nothing wrong ever occured. However, during the performance, the area behind the curtains in which we were using the notebook was very stuffy and warm. Actually, I was sweating all the way through, not because of the performance but due to the presence of the stuffy conditions. During the performance, we have to strain our ears to try to listen to the narrator. She played an important role as when she speaks out the words in which we have to play the songs, and when to stop playing the songs.

Fortunately we have managed to pull through this ordeal.

Exams

2005-02-15T18:31:00.000+08:00

Alot of time have passed since from the begining of the year up to now. Closing to the end of the term, we are going to sit for a mini-exam. Although it is 'mini', I still treat it like a regular examination.

Time flies so quickly, fortunately, I have armed myself with books to make me feel less worried and stressful for this mini-exam that will come in the tenth week of this year.

In the world of science

2005-02-03T17:36:00.000+08:00

Science, yes, is sort of plain to you, but have in did made plenty of changes in our lives. You may not notice it as many of us are living in luxury. In fact, who would use twigs as toothpicks, or lie down on rocks to sleep. In fact, there are many things in your house that would not have come round without science, such as your computer, your games, even your toilet!

Science have many branches, such as Physics which is well known to many locals as it is boring. Chemistry is also another branch, and so is biology. Science studies can never be complete, as there is some new discoveries popping out at anytime. Science proved many things which the people of a thousand years would not know.

Just because science can prove almost everything, many people blamed the strange phenomenons such as ghost on science. There are many mysteries waiting to be solved, such as UFOs. Science is everywhere. It is so close that you do not even feel it.

The 'Test' bug

2005-02-02T20:37:00.000+08:00

Okay, I am really fed up this time. In a space of just weeks, I have been bombarded with loads of tests. In fact, I have sat the amount of tests equal to the amount of weeks that have passed, in other words, one test per week! Well, I know tests are meant to test out the skills you have learnt, but this many? It looks more like overstuffing you with too much work.

I cannot change the fact that there is an infinite amount of tests out there in the world ready to be written on. I feel that tests are not too bad, but too much of it is not healthy too.

Well, there is nothing I could do to relieve this situation but to study. Fortunately for everyone, there is the chinese new year celebrations around the corner, phew!

Catch

2005-01-26T13:30:00.000+08:00

'Catch' a commonly used word. However many still do not know the meaning of the word through words, but this word is instead learnt thrugh action, such as playing the game 'catching'. 'Catch' is often used to state that you wanted to contain something of obtain something (sort of...).

'Catch' is now used so often that even certain animals were taught to respond to it. Personally, I feel that the word 'catch' have been used for so much that people (including me) could use it without much thinking.

'Catch' is a word that is used to state a action, such as in the sentence "The policeman is trying to catch the felon who is trying to escpe.", which tells you what the policeman is doing. Also, 'catch' is used as a threat, as in the phrase "If I catch you doing...", which tells you the person is warning him/her against doing something.

'Catch' is a unique word; compared to the other 5 letter English words in the world, this is a word that is very difficult to define. Despite it being a simple word, it is a word with lots of potential.

Terrorism

2005-01-20T22:07:00.000+08:00

What is Terrorism? Is it a act done by a group of notorious people who wanted power, or is it an act done to force governments in countries to give the protestors what they want? Actually, the real meaning of this word back 20 years ago means power by force. It is to refer to the cruel acts done by the governor to the people and these acts are seen as a bad thing to the citizens. It is a act done by governors to the people to get what the governor wants, and not the other way round!

Over the years, the meaning of these words have been altered so much that it is to mean the people are doing acts against the government to get want they want. Now, terrorism seems to be a trendy act amongst protestors. They resort to violence first, then they will sweet-talk later, that is when there are many casuaties. I felt that terrorism is disgusting and I am totally against it. It is a fight which involve many others who are innocent.

The internet

2005-01-20T18:19:00.000+08:00

The internet is a hub used for the transferring of information so that others could view it. Internet from time to time have been gradually improving, making it more easier for others to view and become more resistant to viruses being sent over to harm other innocent computers.

There are many internet jargons, such as broadband, blogs, protocol, and many others. The internet nowadays is brimming with information. An average of 1 website is published every hour. It is no wounder when finding a suitable name, it is very difficult as others had already snatched it.

The internet is a great place to send information which you know about, or creating a impressive website to show of to others, or find the information which you need.

As great as internet sounds, it is now unsafe to venture into the web without the protection of a antivirus software, or a protective firewall. This is because there are potential hackers or pranksters sending out viruses and worms.

Games

2005-01-20T16:57:00.000+08:00

Almost everyone in the world can't live without games. Games is used as a means of distressing. However, like drugs, games can make you feel good but later you may crave a bit more. But anyway, who really bothers. I have to admit that I am also hooked on some games. Actually, my most favourite game is ---- (sorry, I will put this in 4 years time).

As long as the game is nice, who would bother about the age level the game is meant for (eg. M 18 games, if you know what I mean). Game, good and much exciting. Games is often thought to be meant for small children, however, majority of the games are also meant for adults, and teens.

Games, I view is something not too bad, but it is also something not too good either. Balancing your time while playing the game will make it more enjoyable.

Mathematics

2005-01-19T18:07:00.000+08:00

Mathematics

Maths. Maths. MATHS. What makes Maths a miserable subject to many? Is it because it has a unlimited supply of tricky questions that seems to have no answer, or it just bores you to a state that you decide to quit. Whatever it is, Maths is actually a subject that carries a reigh of Maths haters (except for tthe subject 'History' which more people dislike than Maths). Many would get other's opinions for start, or maybe a series of frustrating questions as an introduction to the subject. However, little did many know that Maths is very important in the modern society.

I feel that Maths is a subject that is very important. Reason? Well, in the world without Maths, yes, there is no Maths homework, but picture this, you want to return home from school on the 1st day of school, and takes out a map to find where your home is (I know this is a ridiculous scenario). Even so, you cannot tell what is the distance of your school from the house and other important numerical values. Nobody would not be able to cook anything to eat as they do not know how much of an ingredient to use.

Maths is often underestimated and thought as a useless subject that gives stress to them. Maths have rarely been thought as a subject that bring mankind to the current state it is now - skyscrapers, internet, money...

Cities

2005-01-17T18:24:00.000+08:00

What makes an metropolitan city so special? I feel that metropolis cities are one of man's most greatest achievements. Its a place where the rich dwells and the poor rarely settles. It is a place of buildings that could touch the skies, and the flooding of cars at road junctions.

The smell of sulphur emissions from vehicles are ever present and the sound of trains rattling the window planes add buzz to the bustling city life. Cities hold the people, the people hold the nation, the nation holds the key to prosperity in the city.

Aye, the city - anyone could gain something, while another loses something. Its like betting in a casino. When a skyscraper comes to the city, it becomes enemies with the other financial companies. Its no wonder the rich dominates this land wherelse the poor finds the countryside more smoothing.

The city - It is packed with crime and the paid police sometimes do not bother at all. Crime does not pay, but keeps being a trend amongst locals.

Orange

2005-01-14T10:44:00.000+08:00

Orange

Introduction to orange
Orange refers to a citrus fruit. Oranges as you know can be found in many places, especially countries with warm climates. Oranges is an edible fruit commonly known as a ... orange. Its taste compromises of a mixture between sourness and sweetness, which is why it makes this fruit so unique from other fruits such as apples and lemon.

Description of oranges
The presence of the sour taste is resulted from the existance of citric acid. As all acids tasted sour, such as pure vinegar, oranges also will have this taste. Oranges sometimes tasted sweet as sugars are present in the fruit.

Uses of oranges
Oranges are sometimes used as garnishing for certain foods. They can be used to flavor objects(eg. medicine) which does not seem to have a pleasant taste. In the present however, artificial flavouring which tasted much sweeter than the real oranges have been developed and has replaced oranges in the modern world for many things.

Glass

2005-01-07T19:40:00.000+08:00

What is glass?

The word "glass" actually originates from the latin word "glacies" (which means "ice"). Glass is called differently depending on the language, such as German and Roman. Glass, to many is known as something that is clear, transparent and is something that breaks and shatters easily. Contrary to this popular belief, glass is actually relatively strong and hard-wearing, which means that it could last very long even without much proper care.

How is glass made?

Glass is formed when sillica from sand, together with several other substances are heated to very high and extreame temperatures above 1000 degrees celsius. Glass however can have some of its properties changed when added with certain substances, such as titanium, which can give glass a yellow colour.

The history of glass

Naturally forming glass, have been found and discovered to be used by people as far back as 4000 years ago, which was at that time considered valuable. Then later, about 2000 years ago, the glass blowing technique was invented, and centuries later, what became of glass has now then become an item of everyday life.

What is glass used for?

Glass is now found almost anywhere in the modern world ~ the windows, the automatic doors we see at any shopping centre, the showcase windows, some old spectacles, and even in some televisions. Glass is a substance that may be useful in decorating objects, such as a building. Glass is a beneficial substance, but to maybe some others, glass may be a hinderence.
