Miracle? or....
just now happened to look at my former sec school website - GESS - and found out that 5 years ago in yr 2000, (hmm.. i was in sec 2, 3 or 4? abit cant remember.. haha..) 3 Normal Techical students from the same class scored into Top 3 position in their 'N' Level.
their form teacher in the class 2 year ago (1998),Ms Winnie Tan (i dun remember hearing this name or this news before.. lol), challenged her class to be among the top 10 in Singapore. she wasn't sure if her target could be achieved though...
Report from Straits Times: "Three out of the top 11 were from her class, making the school the only one in Singapore to have fielded so many top students."
this 3 boys, having a rather poor family background, had to work part-time to supplement the family background. thier parents wasn't really educated either.. but thanx to their teacher's encouragements, they really get their head burry deep into the books when it's time to study.. and they finally made it into the Top 3.
Full story could be found here: http://www.gessosa.org.sg/features/articles/ftr_artc_001220_top3.htm
Moral of story: Do not look down on others, even if they might seem to be inferior.. tt's not their true self... give them some encouragements and they can create the "Miracle of Hardwork".
Current thought: Nothing is impossible.. and "Perfection" is not an exception.
My Rational: Anyone could be perfect if there is enough time for him to practice.. practice makes perfect, isn't it?
"Failure" is just an obstacle along the path of success and "Giving up" is the process of not overcoming the obstacle...
It's true that everyone do not have enough time to clear all obstacles in life (before they could experiance everything, their time is up and death is coming...), however, we could AT LEAST perfect in a single area, isn't it?
Even brewing a cup of coffee that reaches your own target, it's already a perfection...
CE Activity and PPM Makes My Holiday ROCKS!!
As mentioned, this holiday has got lotsa stuff for me to do, and so far, 1 week has passed.
PPM:
i think that i'd really enjoyed the process of doing research for all my questions which i'll be interviewing my cousin for my PPM module.. it's fun.. and from tt process, i'm able to apply knowledge that i've learnt throughout my life.. mainly in RP.. nothing academic though.. juz some things that will help you in life.. and i feel that, not everyone has successfully indentified this knowledge within them...
things come and go in life... and wadever that appears, there is something that we can learn from it.. even things as small as flea...
CE Activities:
something that really motivates me about CE activities are not the CE points, seriously... right now, i can really feel how fun they can be... during the holidays so far, unknowingly, i've got myself involed in 3 of them and all gaining quite a lot of CE points.. haha...
kinda regret not going for the 4th activity - Youth Ambassador in Gaming - very very fun and got 4NDA points...
anyway.. i might not have the time for it too cos my time it's still kinda cramp, all thanx to Uncle Devil who makes me lazy and gives me a mind that love to wander around.. haha
CE Activity 1: School Outreach Innovation programme
the progress of it is kinda good, and i'm pretty excited in meeting the kids (Sec 1/2 student from GESS!!!) haaha..
today went back for the meeting to make sure that our scripts works, and to my surprise, our team (loo and me) has got the best script done and tiffanie, the in-charge has got no comments other then "Hey guys (to the class), you all see ar, this is the script that is considered good!" hahaha.. other scripts was like.. erm.. erm.. ermm... ya.... hahaha.. dun wanna sae too much lar, if not you will see my post with crude and vulgar words again (i'm trying to kick th habbit again)... lolx.. erm.. i'm not saying that their scripts are really bad though.. juz that they only put in enough effort to write out something for the sake of the CE points!!! bah...
oh, we also helpped the most, although it wasn't a lot, by giving ideas to the other teams as well... and to tiffanie! hahaha.. damn.. loo n me have got the most participation.. erm.. can we have an A for the daily grade?
oh ya, remember "knowledge" i mention above? writing a script need tt kind of knowledge too! hell ya!
hmm.. read quite a lot of stuff before i came out with the script and thought a lot... think about if the story is approachable, is it funny enough, is it up to standard, can we manage it, can the students act out successfully, can we get the props successfully as we wanted?? and stuff like that...
then somemore gotta read resources on how to do a good, or perfect script! then took quite a long time..
hmm.. observe the way things go lame in shows too.. haha.. this is a BIG PROJECT to me!
at 1st i still thought the script i wrote was a failure and din have much confidence in it cos i thought the story not funny enough and like too stupid instead... hahaha!
Loo told me yesterday night that he have not write out the script and the ideas in his mind was abit here and there... i sent him my script and he used the same concept as me to write out his script.. so the credits still goes back to me? ya right! haha.. okok... he did contribute the idea ;)
if it wasn't for him, i guess the comment from Tiff wun be tt good, ya? he actually acted out the story himself when we presented it to Tiff, and she was real happy with it. ;)
CE Activity 2: Signing of National Day Pledge Taking and Song Signing
this is another BIG PROJECT to me!! i cant really tell which BIG PROJECT is bigger though.. hahaha.. On National Day, 3000 people will be signing the plegde and the song, it's a song that no one have heard.. so... i guess i wun be saying wad song it is? lolx
signing, juz in case if u dun get wad i mean... is to do hand signals that the deaf used to communicate.. yup.. cool? i think so too!
young people now-a-days like to learn other foreign lauguages like french or jap.. so why not learn hand signs? we can communicate with the deaf and then indirectly we brighten up their day.. agree?
besides.. one day we got old and our hearing system deteriorates.. we are still able to talk to our grandsons and granddaughters or even anyone around if everyone learns this easy hand signals, then there won't be any barrier.. :D
well.. i manage to learn how to sign my name, the singapore pledge, basic ABCs and 123s in juz one day of 4hrs... no sweat..
ohh by the way, i'm so interested that i learn faster then anyone else sitting in the same table as me.. hah!
here's a website i researched on about hand signs.. i think it's worth a look, especially for people who is interested: http://www.geocities.com/signsing/a2z.htm
knew Timothy Alvin (wow.. 1 person with 2 english names...) and Windez (this name sounds cool? ya! i hope i din spell it wrongly though) as i'm sitting on the same table as them. hey wait, my name not bad too.. SAM = english and surname.. 2 in 1!! lolx!
they talked to me more stuff about Christianity... thought quite a lot.. felt like sharing some thoughts in my blog, depends on my time.. if i feel like it, i'll continue writting later. Check Out The Bottom!!
CE Activity 3: Save The Environment!!
another meaningful activity? yeah.. but not a BIG PROJECT this time.. intended to do it for the CE points... however still found some fun since i get more familiar with MS Powerpoint.. hehehe... i juz love to do posters and logos and stuff like tt..
Christianity, what is it to me? i'm not good with my words but, no offence..
ok, as promsied here's the article for Christianity.. din noe my speech for CE activity 3 is so short.. hahah
this few months has heard lots of talk about what christians normally do in church every weekend... some shared by Amy, Ying Ying, Windez and Timothy...
i like the way they look at some of the things.. their concept. and they are really open to to their church frens, which is wad i kinda look forward to.. and their bondings, can see that it's really strong.. however, sometimes i dun really like the way they talk about God.. although i'm a free thinker, but i have got a God that i imagined (this is slightly different from other Gods though).. and i guess it's becoz of this, it's like you are toking about buddism to a christian and they wouldn't like it.. yeah.. however i'll really like to join in some of their activities and see how it goes.. perhaps i'll be a Christian too? i can't predict what will happen in the future, haha..
so wadz my God all about? hmm.. sometimes i'll hope for something to happen, things tt are kinda lame like "oh, plz dont rain later on", "oh plz stop the rain in 10 minutes time" and things like "oh, plz plz plz bus 145, i'll be late if you dont come now!!!" and stuff like tt.. haha.. think it's lame? hmm...
most of the time my "wish" came through.. and tt's my undefined God.
very often when ying ying told me about the "power" of God, it freaks me out.. but still, i was interested to discover what is it all about... there are forces that heals a person (erm.. then wad are doctors for?), forces that can make a person fall when the pastor touches his forehead (he's called a pastor, rite?), and voices from God himself... wow... unbelievable? yeah!
imagine.. if one day, David Copperfield (my idol in magic) is able to convince everyone that his magic is not an illusion, but it's true supernatural forces, i'll be the 1st to hide under my bed... tt's freakingly freaky! same case as for God...
the question mark of Chicken and Egg...
hmm.. Chicken came 1st or Egg came 1st? Timothy told me, none of them came 1st.. God created both... "Man cant create, cos 'Create' is to make something out of nothing... juz like a handphone, no one can create it, cos you create it out of raw materials like plastics and stuff... therefore, only God has the ability to create." convincing? ya... kinda..
but... this is only in thier point of view rite? dont see things in juz 1 point of view...
lets take an example...
in the Jurassic Era.. let's say we change the story abit, say human being has already exist... they found out that apples fall from tress to the ground, however, Newton wasn't born yet to identify the Gravitational Forces.. this early human beings would think that... "God!! It's God that gave us the apple, it's him that make the apple fall, Praise the Lord!"... and if in our story, Newton was never borned, or he is borned retarded... today, in the Christians bible... the thought of the early human might juz be written on it.. and i believe that most Christians would believe it as a fact...
science, religion, science, religion, science, religion... ARRRRGGHH!!!!
Science is a subject that does not give an assured conformation on wadever it is, it juz try it's best to make claim according to the knowledge human have, and prooved to be true till the point of time.
any scientific claims could be change if someone is able to proove it wrong..
for example... scientist picks up dinsaure bones from fossils.. after period of time by close examinations, they drew out dinosaures that appeared in Jurassic Park.
lets say.. in the far future of unimaginable time, other organism, know as "aliens" to us right now, came to settle on earth and by then, hamans extinct juz like dinosaures...
this aliens went to look for the remains of fossilized human bones and put them together like jigsaw puzzle... would they get excatly how we look like? maybe.. but... females would not have breast at all!! cos breast got no bones... therefore no fossils to be found...
therefore, hu could say that science is true? even a real scientist could not CONFIRM that all things fall is due to gravity.
wanna go deeper?
imgaine... if it is possible...
a group of men started this BIG PROJECT, that is, to dig a BIG TUNNLE across the earth core (i.e. the center part of earth), from North Pole to South Pole.. on their journey somewhere in between, that is millions and millions times of distant that you can travel on the entire earth (the surface aread of a sphere is definitly smaller then the entire space area inside rite?), they happen to see some strange things going on... some creatures.. hmm.. are they animals? nv seen them before.. they wanted to stop digging and settle there together with the animals.. they might juz find their ancestors living there or some people who are reported Lost for so many years and police have not found them or their bodies yet.. or perhaps.. people who got sucked in by the bermuda triangle? oh... that was the place that repeats history 10 years ago.. damn... wad a man-made time machine...
current thought: Science? Religions? they are juz something a person believe in.. base on some convincing facts that, nothing has yet discovered to say it's wrong... sonner or later, it will be discovered.. hu noes? God? hmm.. perhaps...
Started writting from: 6.15pm
ended at: 9.11pm
