Read the article above. It is about a panda called TaiShan from USA moving into the Ya'an Bifeng Gorge Breeding Base of the Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in china.After i read this article, i felt that mankind are cruel , destroying animals home, seperating them from their families and putting them into research centres.No matter how large the research centre is, the panda would be lonely and miss home.It is the same concept when birds get locked up in a cage. Even if the cage is as big as a bungalo, the bird will still be lonely.Mankind say that they were simply protecting the pandas but i dont think so. Mankind may feed them, may play with them but it was us who destroyed their home.We are the main threat to pandas and the main cause of their near-extinction.Some of us tried to save the pandas but we need full cooperation of everybody to save them.
My question here would be what do you think as a student you could contribute to the saving of the pandas and do you really agree by bringing them to research and protection centres , they are happy and that means that they are saved?Put yourself in the position of the panda. A bunch of hunters came and murder your whole family, you escaped, caught by a kind hearted soul who lock you in the research centre where they claim to have saved you. Even if you are well fed, will you be happy.Actually, looking at the incident from a different perspective.Actually by bringing pandas to research and protection centres is hurting them. You are taking away their ability to hunt for food themsleves.If released into the wild, thye would be useless.Think about this issue and comment please.

OMG! i am so excited because after this post i will hit the minimum requiry of miss lim's blogging standard.Of course i will write more.Well, this post is about technology, whether or not we should over rely on technology.
Well, let me share with you, my laptop(the one i am using now)was bought in january but was only taken back yesterday. Why? This is because immediately after i bought the laptop, the hard disk was corrupted and could not switch on my computer. I did 20slides of my geography powerpoint in this computer and 15 slides of our prokects day competition.Luckily for me, my geography ace presentation was on term 3 and projects day is quite far away from now.My mother asked me this question,'why did you type in the computer and not write on the paper?'Yes, it is true that by doing a hard copy manually, it will prvent problems like losing data when your computer is corrupted . If that is so, why do so many people buy and use computer?Ipod touch?Iphone?Ipad?Why?
While, it is because by doing something manually , it is not as convenient as it was down using technology. Technology is used to help people. Computer,in chinese is 电脑,direct translation to english would be electric brain.The use of the computer is to help us 'remember things'After you have done a powerpoint presentation, press the save button and you will not lose it in your life unless your computer corrupt like mine.somethings could not be achieved without technology.Can you communicate with a friend? You write a letter which take 1or 2 days to reach his place. He write a letter back, and you recieve it after another 2 days.If you want to ask him, you want to play chess?it will take four days for him to reply manually by writing letter, but by using phones and emails will be different.
Even if technology is very convinient and good to us, i still thinks that we should not over rely on technology.the movie 'Meet the robinson' shows the results of over relying on technology.It is about this future world with advanced technology but it turned out that the technology ruled the world later and the battle between man and technology started . Another movie ' nine ' also describes the result of over relying on technology.
In your opinion, what are the consequences if we over rely on technology and do you think we should/should not over rely on technology?Leave a comment thanks

5th) pERcY JaCksON

Have anyone read percy jackson? While, someone gived me the first book of percy jackson which was percy jackson and the lightning thief.i randomly flipped through the book and realised that it is about greek mythology. Gods like zeus, hades and poisedon give birth with mortals to demigods.While, percy jackson, the main character is the son of Poisedon(the sea god), thalia is the daughter of zeus(you should know this one), annabeth is the daughter of athena(goddess of wisdom).While, they all have special powers.Percy could heal when their is water and he could control the sea, thalia cna summon lightning and annabeth is very smart.immediately i got addicted and started buying percy jackson because the description and battles and monsters is very real, reading it is like experienceing it yourself.I was wondering the other day, will you like to be a demigod?
Being a demigod have its pros and cons, you can undergo a lot more than mortals, you have special powers and no one can bully you at school. You can summon up waves and swim extra-ordinary fast during swimming test if you are a son of poisedon , excel in you academics and get full mark for IQ test if you are the son of Athena, strike anyone who aggitate you with a bolt of lightning, if you are a son of zeus,etc,etc.There are alot of advantages.
But on the other hand, you would be chased by monster.If you go to school and the monster follow you, you kill it and cause a mess, the teacher willk suspend you from school.Like in the first book, percy's math teacher is a monster and attacked him. He killed the teacher and cause a mess and got suspended. In the second book, giants went to his school to hunt him, he killed them and set the whole school on fire. Ordinary people could not see the monster and how you fought with them, if the building is on fire, the only suspect is--you.Titans and monsters will hunt for you even when you are sleeping.
I was wondering this question for quite a long time, my final conclusion is that i dont want to be a demigod, i felt that ordinary life is already very stressful for me and if i were to fight monsters and save the world, what if i fail, all the blame would be casted on me like how it was casted on germany in the treaty of versailles.haha, it might be a little lame but please ponder over this question and write it down in the comment box.

After such a big decision of whether or not i should go for my drama show on tan kah kee , i decided to go since it is a big activity and i am representing hwa chong instead of myself.I recalled that in the morning , we watched another movie in our sabbatical class. it is called 十月围城, which in english is called assassins and bodyguards. It is about 孙中山, arriving to hongkong and how they try to protect him from getting killed by the british since he supported the' three principles of people' which will make china a free, prosperous and powerful nation. British did not want china to be a free nation as it will cut off the advantages it is gaining from china. Thus, they wanted to kill 孙中山. Before he arrived, there is a man called 李玉堂, he supported 孙中山, thus, he organised a group of people to safely escort 孙中山out of danger.his son went to be the substitute of 孙中山to lead the assassins away.A lot of people were recruited as body guards and to fight the assasins. a lot of people died in the battle but 孙中山was safe.I dont really get the main idea of the whole movie but it was very nice with lots of fighting scene. It was also very touching when 李玉堂＇ｓ　son went to be the substitute as he was the only son, his father is rich and wanted the servents to act as the substitute fearing that his son might die, but his son said 'that all man were born equal, why cant i die and why can the servants die?'
Anyone watched the movie? Leave a comment please.

3rd)~HELP~

I am seriously frustrated, totally upset, so depressed that i am actually tearing infront of my computer.Why does the gods keep messing with me!Why cant i play badminton with my friends? I put 600 points in badminton for sabbatical week and did not get in which already pissed me off. Now, when i booked a court in the march holiday on friday, my teacher told me i have to perform'cheng jia geng' in thursday, friday and saturday! It is the formal performance and i could not miss it. I have tuition on friday somemore. I hate chinese drama man! toy with me when i have no time. How frustrating! I really cant make it to the performance!My tuition class 1 lesson cost more than 60 dollars and how can i miss it! I really cant! I talked to yang lao shi but he buei song and then scold me for not paying attention to the date! I remembered he keep saying about the performance in March but did not tell us the exact date. I am really very pissed off. I could easily push off my badminton but i couldnt push off my tuition , because of chinese drama i had delayed 2 tuitions and thats the maximum amount i could delay in one term! Morever, even if i could cancel the badminton court it will make my friends leave a bad impression on me since i already promised them to play. Yang laoshi said that if i really cannot come, he will replace me. Should i not go for the performance and get replaced or should i waste 60 dollars and lose 3 friends? Please, desperate for opinions, leave a comment please.

2nd)~~~~~WooHoo~~~~

This random : What does ~~~~~ remind you of. It remind me of mr tan's arms moving like the ocean wave.

The main blog post start here( dont care about what i worte above, just random thoughts.)

Do you agree that boys is better than girls in sport? Just now when i went to play basketball, there was a few girls playing too. There look like they were noob rabbits(learnt the phrase 'noob rabbit' from tzy yeo)They stand so near the high metal hoop still can miss. One girl who was better, shoot the ball bounce on the meral hoop, circled it two times before entering it. I was like , what in the hell are they doing here. i shot a three pointer and the ball soar beautifully in the air and entered the hoop straight! A clean shot!I had to admit it was a lucky shot. The girls felt that i was trying to -niao- them( learnt from Emil Lim, means something like trying to embarrass them), they stared at me with -a faint line appearing between their eye brows, when they discovered that i am very good at basketball, they looked at me with more than faint distaste-(learnt from Mrs Caroline Fisher!)A girl who had been sitting in a corner all the while came to me and she said she wanted me to play with them. I was like -LOL, RANDOM SIA!-(learnt from zheyi!)but i agreed. They are all from australia and very friendly and willing to play with me. I 1 v s 4 them. All the girls quite noob actually but the problem is i am losing?Why? Because of the girl sitting in the corner!We play 10 balls see who reach ten first. A Three pointer is counted as 2 balls.Their team have 7 points that time and i only have 4. 6/7 of their points is scored by that girl who asked me to play.Her accuracy and speed simply defeated me ! She could shoot behind the three pointer line and clean shot ! Her jump is like so high and her speed can overtake me easily. I cant even block her.At last, i lost 7-10. They asked me to play again and wanted to put one girl in my team but i rejected.My face is like so red, i lost to a bunch of girls! i always thought girls will never win boys at sport. In primary school, i can thrashthe school team track and field girls easily . Please leave your comments please!

1st post for 2010)Hit the mark by a fluke XD!

Sunday afternoon 4.34 pm. I am really pissed off, very very frustrated because of my sabbatical. I put 600 points into badminton a few days ago with leqi and others warning,' qiyu, dont waste your points, no one even want to go to badminton. 400 is more than enough.' I am still unsure thus i put 600 points, thinking that i can go to badminton sabbatical. I randomly choose the rest of the bidding choices since i am very confident that i will go to badminton. Actually, the reason i want to go to badminton sabbatical is not to learn badminton since i already have a coach outside but simply challenge my friend who went badminton. When i checked my bidding status, i was bidded to ' movie hero, change, change, change' (translated from chinese to english , thus alittle awkward)! I am darn angry. This is because this sabbatical is Pre-booked for some LEP students and i have to spend 500 points to get in. Waste! After that, i realised that i have to wait for one more term to have chance to go to badminton. Monday moring,(which is today's morning)when i arrived at school. i saw a lot of people carrying badminton bat and happily chatting with each other. My friend whom i want to challenge is also in badminton and he mocked at me for being so stupid. This made me more angry. When i went for my sabbatical, i wanted to put in more points next term to get into badminton, howeverm there maynot even be badminton sabbatical next term and friend wont be going it so even if i go it will be a waste of time. The more i think, the more i am angry.
when i saw leqi , i want to punch him in the face but i realised that it is actually my fault cause i am the one who put the point at last, he is just trying to help me. Just then, the teacher came in, and said' we are going to watch 2 movies for today. With that, we begin to watch the first movie which is quite scary. We did a short reflection and went for recess. After recess, we watched the second movie and wrote our reflections. The teacher also said that we could get chinese ace for the reflection we have done! AFter all, my sabbatical is not bad!!!!i am in a good mood when i return home.Now i a going to play basketball, see you!

not v clear, @ mrs lim, i will hand in the hard copy at school

LA MOCKINGBIRD!!!

Mockingbirds are renowned to mimic other bird's songs.

Mocking Bird Habitat
Ø It is commonly seen in short, grassy lawn areas, which they prefer when foraging for insects.
Ø For this reason, it is quite fond of suburban mowed lawns.
