today i will be talking about the attitude of people. people normally have a negative attitude towards their studies. i shall be talking about the reasons why people do not like to study. is it because of temptations in the world now? game-creators in the world now has a lot of talent, in creating games for people to get addicted to. even the simplest game can let thousands of people go crazy because of it, willing to spend thousands of dollars on it. they are blinded by the "beauty" of the game and they are willing to do anything just to excel in the game, so that they can have a laugh at their friends, but they do not know that what they are doing is actually very foolish, because their friends, who do not excel in virtual life, can win them in other forms, be it academics or CCA-wise. in the end, the people who are laughing at them will be the ones whom they have laughed at before. at an instant, they would find that they do not have anything to their name, except for just a materialistic name, such as the gaming expert. people may call you that, and you may feel good, but you do not know that in the inside of them, they are laughing at you, laughing that your dumbness to play around with the game that does not serve you good.
People of our age now has a great tendency to get addicted into games. this is a part where self-control plays a great part in our lives. people at my age have a great possibility to drop out of school, or they might go to school but not pay attention to their lessons, and all they care is about their games, their only thinking process is not about the lesson, but the strategy to win in games. and in the end, they will be the ones at loss and they will never find their way back in a pit of darkness. they also would have the temptation to skip their CCAs, a form of relaxation for them after a long day in school of concentration on their studies and CCA is the brought-about-relief to all, in terms of stress, homework, etc. however, the gamers will skip CCAs to play their computer games. i am not saying that playing games is not good for us. playing games is a good way to destress, but it will not be good if the de-stressing method gets out of hand. 1-2 hours of playing is counted as good enough, and then we shall focus our energy back onto our work. we just have to tell ourselves that enough is enough, and we shall study hard after playing hard. at the end of the term, when they get back their results, they will be able to play hard, and this is a good time for them to let down their necks and play hard, relax well and "charge their battery for the next term".
hence, the attitude of students nowadays should be a "you reap what you sow" attitude, no matter in terms of studies or games. you study hard, you play less, you get a broad smile on your face at the end of the day. you play hard, you study less, you get frowns on your face at the end of the day. self-control should never be forgotten. we should have a sense of self-control in terms of gaming, and we should not exceed the time limit. thank you, and that will be all for my post for today.

rules
today i will be talking about rules. recently i was on my way back home from school on the bus when i heard 2 teenagers talking amongst themselves. one of them was eating. the other person told him:" hey, dun eat here lar, later kenna will have to pay money one leh. i no money one hor." the other person told him:" aiya, you think they will ask us to pay fine meh? i just eat a little bit won't die one lar." upon hearing their conversation, i thought that since there is a sign on the bus not to eat, why can't we just follow the rules? besides, it is only just a few minutes away from home. we can just hold on a little bit, and then when we reach home, we can savour the food. rather than being sorry, i would rather be safe.
i shall now talk about an incident that happened to me. there is a link building nearby our house, and me and my friends would play soccer with some malay friends in the link buildings, since the link buidling was rather spacious. although there was a sign telling us not to play soccer, we did not bother about it, because the mentality: we do not care. there was this afternoon where we were playing soccer again, and that time, me and my friends we as usual, having a whale of a time playing soccer when suddenly a police car stopped just in front of the building and two policemen came out of the car. they did some interrogation, and after taking down our particulars, they went off. however, the fright that the policemen gave to us was etched deeply down in my memories. when he left, i remembered the policemen telling me that, as a hwa chong-ian, i should be smart enough to know what is right or wrong and by playing soccer in the link building, the stain left on the walls by the ball mark is counted as vandalism. should they require any renovations, we would have to pay the fines for the repair, and i do not think that this is something that my parents can afford. i shall try to exert self-control on myself and there is a right place for doing the right thing at the right time. we should not let a moment of folly lead us into serious consequences.
i shall conclude today's blog post about rules. rule is such a cumbersome thing, people would say, but can you imagine the world in chaos without rules? can you imagine a school of gangsters and "ah bengs" without school rules? it is rules that makes singapore the place it is now. we should be glad that there are rules, and should not be complaining about strict enforced on us. that will be all for my post. thank you, and we shall say hi soon.

Multiple Intelligence Test
I have done the multiple intelligence test and the results above shows that the eights qualities are equal. i think that this test is quite accurate because i the test results suits me. hence i will be talking about my interpersonal qualities. i think that this quiz can be used for people from all over the world.
i will be doing on an interview of the viewpoints on discrimination and prejudice.
Me: Hello, I am doing an interview on the viewpoints of discrimination and prejudice. Would you like to share with me on your viewpoints of people on discrimination and prejudice.
A person: I think that prejudice and discrimination should be taken away from this world, because too many people have been discriminated from the society. for examples, the black. in chinese schools, if there is an indian or malay, they tend to be scolded as black, and people would avoid making friends with them. If i were the person I definitely will feel d*** bad. i would not want to remain in the school, but there is no choice and I have to put up with them for 4 years. If I were the person, i definitely will stop schooling. I go to a school to persue an education, but not to put up with people scolding me and using different point views to look at me.
Me: how about prejudice?
A person: I also think that prejudice is bad. For example, there is a notorious person in your class. He always gets into trouble, doesn't hand in his homework on time, talks back to the teacher, receives a lot of demerit points, etc. and this is a theft case in the class, but it is not done by the person. However, very coincidentally, the person sits close to the scene of theft, surely, fingers will be pointing at him. If the person tries to turn over a new leaf, i am quite sure that people would not accept him, because of the wrong-doings he has done in the past. This is all i am sharing with you on prejudice and discrimination. I am sorry for not being able to answer more of your questions because i am in a rush for my homework.
Me: It's okay. Thank you!

LA assignment.
based on the test, i am a musical and intrapersonal person.
QUESTION:a. Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain.
b. Which character would you like to play in the movie version of the novel? Explain.
c. Write a diary entry for a major character of the novel.
i would like to be friends with Atticus because in the context of To Kill a Mockingbird, he is a dependable, fair-mindedness, and lastly, he was a determined person who would not give up in the face of trouble.
I would say that Atticus is a dependable person because in the incident of the mad dog, the first person Calpurnia called was Atticus, who, in the knowledge of the children, was not someone who went hunting, did not play poker or fish or drink or smoke, but only sat in the living room and read. However, the fact that Calpurnia would call Atticus shows us that he is dependable, and he is someone who provides a sense of security, as he rushed to the scene in the mindset of protecting his children, and he proved to be someone with great accuracy, as he shot down the mad dog, to prove to his children that he was not someone who could not shoot but rather someone who did not want to show off his skills to shoot. From here we could also infer that he is someone who is humble and does not show off his ability to shoot.
I would make friends with Atticus because of his fair-mindedness. I can infer so from the case of Tom Robinson. Atticus took on the case of Tom Robinson although he knew that he would receive a lot of insults from the other side, and he knew that he will lose the case. Despite all odds, Atticus stood on Tom Robinson's side because he had a sense of justice and morality. He did not judge a person according to his skin colour. He was a determined person, because he did not give up trying to defend for Tom Robinson, in spite of the insults saying that he was a "nigger lover", and the countless setbacks that he will undergo, and he was determined to see it through no matter what.
now onto the second part. I would like to play as the innocent young scout in the movie.
The innocent and young scout in the movie has nothing to hide. She does not tell lies, she does not hide anything, and she is trusting. Adults have a lot to hide and one example of this is Nathan Radley. He sealed up the hiding place, because he did not want his brother, Boo Radley to make friends with Scout and Jem because if it really happens, Boo will come out of the Radley Place, something that will not be good. Nathan Radley did this because he had a family secret to hide. He wanted to keep the secret just as it is. Hence from here we can see that adults are always hiding things and unlike children, who are innocent and they always tell the truth. One incident of the child being innocent is that Scout ate the chewing gum. She did not suspect a thing and she just ate the chewing gum without questions. Hence it is evident that Scout is very trusting because she ate something without knowing where it came from and what does it contains.
For the last part i am supposed to write a diary entry of a major character in the novel. I will be writing about Jem on the incident of the one shot finch.
"Today I witness something that made me have a 180 degree change of Atticus. The incident was like this. Me and Scout were outside when we saw old Tim Johnson. He looked sick and he was trying to catch his tail. We rushed back home to tell Cal about it, and when she ran out she saw the mad dog and guess what? The first thing she called was Atticus. Would you believe it? She called Atticus first-hand. The Atticus whom we knew of as one who was feeble and he did not hunt, did not play poker, did not fish, did not smoke. Atticus rushed to the scene along with Heck Tate. It was surprising that the one shooting was not Heck Tate, but Atticus. We were very tense for Atticus, especially with him showing how amateur he was with his glasses falling down, and he had to adjust it back to the top. With the crack of the rifle, we saw Tim Johnson leap, flop over, and crumpled on the sidewalk in a brown-and-white heap. Never for once was i so proud of Atticus. He actually knew how to shoot, just that he doesn't want to show off in front of us. To think that we still felt disappointed of him knowing how to play the harp. Atticus became a hero in my heart and i am proud with him being able to do what other fathers can do."
