Entry 14: Kindness

I think kindness is about showing concern for other people. I think It is people to be kind because without kindness life would be very miserable. One can show his kindness by showing care for others. I feel glad after doing an act of kindness because when you do an act of kindness you are doing one good. One act of kindness I done happened last year, the exam was over, and I saw that Joshua Lim had cane marks all over his leg so I showed my concern by asking him what happen. An act of kindness I would like to do is donating old clothing to poor and very unfortunate families because those families might have too little clothes and have no choice but to wear the same clothes everyday. I think I can promote the message of kindness by telling my friends the glory of kindness.

Entry 13: International Friendship Day

I think we celebrate international friendship day because we can improve our friendship with friends.It started in US in 1935, the festival then gained popularity and is what it is today. ASEAN stands for Association of Southeast Asian Nations. I think it aims to accelerate economic growth, social progress, culture development among its members, the protection of peace and stability of the region, and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully. Yes, I think I could learn a lot from it. I do not have any friends from the ASEAN countries because I have not met one. The school should organize a stage show which consist of many ASEAN speakers.

Entry 12: Improving the School

Some of the aspects I think can be improve are the IT cafe, library and canteen. I think that they can be improved a little more, this are some of my suggestion : For the it cafe I think we can improve it by improving the Internet connection, the connection is bad because I cant access the Internet on some computers, for the library they should expand it and get more books as i think the selection of books need improvement, for the canteen it needs to buy new chairs, because some of the chairs were spoilt and once I fell right through them. Some of the aspects I think can be improve even more are the bookshop, field and toilet. This are my suggestions to improve them : For the bookshop it needs a wider array of stationarys, for the field the school has to plant more grass, because there are patches on the field which have totally no grass, for the toilet it needs to improve its toilet bowls because normally the toilet bowl will be filled with urine. The pupils can help improve the school by not littering, because if pupils keep littering it will affect the school's environment.

Entry 9: APSVoice

My school mates stay with their belongings all the time except when they go into the library where they would have to leave their bags outside. During the CCA they just leave their belongings beside them the whole CCA except when they have to go for a break or when they go somewhere else which is near. Maybe a way is to place their belongings where people can see their belongings because if someone tries to steal your belongings at least someone is there to catch the theft red handed. But the best way to ensure that your belongings are in a appropriate place is to carry then with you, because you'll always be there to guard your belongings because if a theft robs you you can scream for help. So that's my opinion.
