First Day of Term 3

Fine, I didn't keep my not-posting-for-whole-term promise. But today quite interesting what. I don't feel comfortable sitting at the parade ground reading the book "NEEDFUL THINGS" written by Stephen King, lend (actuallly given) to my by Stella. My neck kept feeling sore. Anyway, Melissa todl me it is a horror story but I don't see any thing horrifying about it.

There wasn't much homework today except for some Math Sums and Chinese workbook exercise. Oh wait! I nearly forgot about the troublesome Spelling. It is not that I hate spelling, but I simply saw no point in having reading out the sentence at such a rate that it is almost faster that the fastest thing in the universe, the light. That almost made my hand sore at the end of the spelling, and I don't think I even have the energy to lift it.

And then there is another much fun homework, and I am able to get back to the lovely sensation of pressing down on the button at the keyboard and venting out on my blog all thanks to it. It is not so easy to get rid of the daily routine of blogging, or rather just going to my blog dashboard for silly reasons.

So, that homework is doing a research about sports, for the oral preparation. ince this uear is the olympics year, the PSLE Oral is most likely be tested on sports so we have to find out more about it so as it get better marks for PSLE Oral is so sports was really tested. I went to search about hiking.

SPORTS - HIKING

Hiking is a good form of exercise. Other than improving our stamina and kepping us fit and healthy, we can also gain knowledge about the nature and view the beautiful sceneries. It is a breakaway from then concrete jungle we are living in. We could also breathe fresh oxygen that are less polluted because it is produce by the tree around the pavement we are hiking.

However, we must make sure not to destroy the beautiful scenery so that the future generations can also enjoy it. We must espouse the philosophy of Leave No Trace. hiking in a way such that future hikers cannot detect the presence of previous hikers. We must follow strict practices on dealing with food waste, food packaging, and alterations to the surrounding environment.

Because hiking is a recreational experience, hikers expect it to be pleasant. Sometimes hikers can interfere with each other’s enjoyment. We must practice good etiquette to minimize this interference. Hikers often enjoy the silence and solitude of their surroundings. Loud sounds, such as shouting or loud conversation, disrupt this enjoyment. Some hikers purposely avoid loud sounds, out of deference to other hikers. Staying quiet will also increase the likelihood of encountering wildlife.

Hiking may produce threats to personal safety. We must make necessary preparations before going hiking like getting ready a compass and a map of where we are planning to hike in to prevent ourselves from getting lost. We must get ready refreshments to have sufficient ennergy. We must also applied suncream to prevent getting sunburn and skin diseases and wear enough clothings to prevent getting frostbites or heat strokes.

Hiking can be a pleasant experience only if people are considerate and also make preparations before going on the trip.

I don't mind you copying it or whatever. Anyway, this is not the only stuffs. Mrs Chan is going to collect and compile everything together before giving us and I won't show you that. Anyway, this might not even be valid. Just some knowledge which you might want to know.

Mrs Chan passed us some great compositions written by ex-pupils and this year's pupils, some includes Fishy's, a great writer. (Gladys said that she wrote like HoiYik don't know how to spell the name who is another great writer, except his writing style is kind of adult-like) That, of course, is not for circulation.

Fiona is changing her skin for the fourth time this month. This time round, it is this one and the background is black and wordings are super hard to be read. (oops sorry, the hiking source is from wikipedia)
