Hi fellows,
This is my third post in two days. 23/02/2010. Was it a special or strange day for you? Well, for me and Clarence, it was.
Fine, first thing in the morning, the cross country meet, nothing much to write about. I-Spark took up 4 of the top 10 positions for Sec 1. Hooray! Besides, Mr Low got second in the teacher’s race! Yeah! This was not the special part.
Clarance and me had decided to go to Macdonald’s for lunch at Jurong Point. Since the McValue lunch was only available at 12 noon, we decide to sit 154, which was a waste of time, to Boon Lay, where Jurong Point is located. Once we got onto the bus, the bus captain was speaking to someone else through the microphone.
“I put Off Service!” the bus captain said. Throughout the journey, the bus captain pulled over to adjust the mirror. Since he said that sentence, no one else came on, only passengers alighted. Along Boon Lay Way, many commuters were angry as the bus did not stop although they flagged it down. Nothing wrong. 154 was the only bus passing by there, and our bus was Off Service. What a great experience to sit on an Off Service bus! On the bus, Clarance and me were discussing on this issue to be placed on our blog. We also took some photos.
Upon reaching Boon Lay Interchange, Clarance had to top up his card. In front of him, there was a man that only knew how to speak Chinese. With the lady at the counter only able to speak in English, Clarance was ropped in to help with the translation. That’s about all, I believe.
Bye!

My CCA -Library
Hi all,
This is my second blog post today to beat the deadline of five blog posts by this weekend. Just for this blog post, I would be talking about my CCA.
My CCA is library. For the new Sec 1 batch of new librarians, there are only five, 2 from 1I3 and 3 from 1I4. Yeah! Why did I put library as my first choice? I hope to serve the school directly and besides, there are no competitions for this CCA, making it a non-stressful CCA.
Now, I would try to change your viewpoint on library. I believe most of you have the assumption that library is a slacking CCA. In fact, it is not at all. Every week, 2.30p.m.-5.30p.m. on Friday, which includes a half an hour meeting, half an hour to one hour sports and the rest of the time shelving books. Maybe to you, you would tell me you could also shelve books but can you do it in the proper way? Just imagine every person in the school borrows one book, we have only less than 30 members in the club. How would you be able to finish it in 1.5 hours. That is where it comes in, speed. We serve the school directly. Without us, will the teachers have resources? Besides, there will be a project assigned to each group every month. Every week, we also have to come back for one hour to shelve books. Tiring? Yes, in my point of view. We would also have to wrap books and work at the counter.
The paragraph above has indicated that library is NOT a slacking CCA. If this has changed your view, I have used P.E.E successfully. If not, I may have missed out the part on elaboration.
Conclusion of blog post : Library is not a slacking CCA.

I-League
Hi fellows,
It sure has been two weeks since I have posted. For this post, I would be talking about random issues.
Firstly, the i-League. We lost 1-0 to 1I4 just today (22/02/2010). A match report would be we conceded on 19 mins, the whole match is 20 mins. Despite this loss, the team is still confident we would win and the team would appreciate if all of you could come down to the soccer court near the JC to give us Despite this loss, the team is still confident we would win and the team would appreciate if all of you could come down to the soccer court near the JC to give us your support every Monday. ( I would try my best to post match reports after every match.)
Match Report:
1I3 0
1I4 1 ( Casper,19 )
1I3 – Yan Zhe, Justin, Kervin, Tianle, Ban Siang ( Ivan,10 )
1I4 – Kay Han, Danyon, Joshua, Jerry ( I’m not sure about the rest )
1I4 starts the ball with Danyon passing to Jerry, which almost results in a goal but the post denies them an early goal. 2 mins later, 1I4 could have scored but it hit the post again. 1I3 changes position, with Yan Zhe and Kervin changing positions. That’s the main stuff about the 1st half. There is one substitution made in every team. 2nd half gets 1I3 kicking with Yan Zhe taking a direct shot from the centre line. It floats just above the crossbar. Good try. 1I4 dominate play in the first five minutes but 1I3 great defence hold out, not conceding any goals. The breakthrough’s here. 1I4’s Caspar is 1 on 2 and shoots past Kervin into the back of the net, on the left. 1min 27 sec left for 1I3 to get back into the game. 1I3 dominate play for most of the last two mins but 1I4’s defence does well. Refree “blows the whistle”. Final score : 1I3 0 1I4 1
Next, would be my trip back to my old school, Nanyang Primary School, during Chinese New Year. Not much to talk about but I was sure happy to see our teachers being glad to see us. We played soccer for quite a long while before leaving. That’s about all, I think.
Conclusion of this blog post : We need our class support to win the next match. Please come.

Flowers for Algernon Assignment
Hi all,
This post is on my homework for Flowers for Algernon. I would be doing No.5.
Oral: In HCI, we place emphasis on different types of intelligences. Your Director of Consortium has asked you to do research on the different intelligences and present it to the consortium. You are also to explain which intelligence is the most important to you. You will present it to your own class mates first.
Instead of presenting the normal seven types of intelligence, I will go through it by using nine types of intelligence.
1.) Musical Intelligence
People with musical intelligence have the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone which enable them to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music. Those that possess musical intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves in their daily life and are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.
2.) Interpersonal Intelligence
People with interpersonal intelligence have the ability to understand and interact effectively with others which involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives. Those that possess interpersonal intelligence are leaders among their peers, are good at communicating, and seem to understand others’ feelings and motives.
3.) Linguistic Intelligence
People with linguistic intelligence have the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings. Linguistic intelligence allows us to understand the order and meaning of words and to apply meta-linguistic skills to reflect on our use of language. People that possess linguistic intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.
4.) Intrapersonal Intelligence
People with intra-personal intelligence have the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and directioning one’s life. Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition. Those that possess intrapersonal intelligence are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.
5.) Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
People with bodily kinesthetic intelligence have the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union.
6.) Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
People with logical-mathematical intelligence have the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations which enables them to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. People that possess logical-mathematical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships and are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.
7.) Naturalist Intelligence
People with naturalist intelligence designate the human ability to discriminate among living things as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world.
8.) Spatial Intelligence
People with spatial intelligence have the ability to think in three dimensions. Core capacities include mental imagery, spatial reasoning, image manipulation, graphic and artistic skills, and an active imagination. People that possess spatial intelligence may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing or daydreaming.
9.) Existential Intelligence
Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.
I am not really sure about 7 & 9 but for reference, this is the website :
