Hello 409!
I'm here to pass you a message from laoshi(chinese teacher), and that is that you have a new piece of homework but because the 3Rs (reducing, reusing & recycling) are so important she decided not to print the question out for you.

It's an essay in which you HAVE TO, she emphasized, HAVE TO include your 5Ws AND 1H. So here they are for you:

Who: 409!
What: Celebrations!
Why: Birthday!
When: 04/09/07 , Tuesday
Where: *Escape Theme Park/Pasir Ris Park?
How: Use your brains lah.

Hand this in by 03/09!
suggestions/objections!HURRY UP!

& if you're so wols you havent realised or if you're too busy laughing at this wonderfully crafted/hilaaaaarious joke, no laoshi didnt say any of the above so dont write an essay, instead, think of where n how you wanna celebrate 40907's birthday!

and HURRY UP!!

(isnt my post as cute as zhimin's! :D)

Life Isn't Always Easy

Saturday, August 25, 2007

Hello! This is the poem thingy that MrYeoh shared with us last year. It's not the best literary piece or whatever, but I just thought it'd cheer you up a bit.

Life Isn’t Always Easy

Life can be unfair at times when you must maintain faith and never let go.

It is especially during the difficult times that you must live your life to its fullest potential.

Those are the times to triumph over circumstances with hope and courage.

Life isn’t always easy, but if you keep going and persevere to the very best of your ability,

You will gain strength to manage the new challenges ahead.

Each goal that you reach is another important step forward.

Believe that there are bright and wonderful days ahead for you and you will find them.

By Mary A. Rothman

It's the last few papers yo! C'mon c'mon we can do this! ^^ -qi*

LISTEN UP GIRLLLLS :D

tomorrow's our last fight in RGS, let's make it a good one. jiayou everybody, if you have the slightest thought of slacking, tell yourself this:

i cant give up when im just near the final line. ITS NOW OR NEVER.

dont be disheartened if you think you cant get any of the info into your brains, they will eventually =) just trust me. & a gentle reminder, please sleep early from tonight onwards, you cant go through an exam without 'nuf energy/sleep. so one line to conclude this all, let it be an encouragement to y'all:

YOU wont ever fall behind, cause the whole class will be pulling you along.

this is strength, this is might, this is us against the people who have nothing to do (:

Something i found absolutely adorable but would probably just make the rest of you go "uh..."

Please watch it only if you fulfill the following requirements:
- your brain has been surgically removed
- you have a thoroughly unsophisticated sense of humour
- you think voldemort is funny

Good luck mugging everyone!

its called the miss huang blues

-WAILS- I MISS MISS HUANGG.

one day we shall all go write her a letter/poem/email/SOMETHING like this year before we get too caught up with JC okayy.

i swear miss huang is the most awesomeee lit teacher i've had (well not that i had many since she taught me twice)
know what. at the end of sec one, she got 36 different poems for each of us and dedicated each to us. i mean like..wow. i remember for mine she wrote 'for Stacey, the budding poet and writer' on top (: and 'the romantic' for ivy (okay just an example know) (HUSENA DO YOU REMEMBER YOURS)
this was my poem:

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far way into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once i had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Christina Rossetti

and i think all our LOTF books are ownage with the amount of annotation there is in there

okay too much nostalgia
hope you guys had fun this hols! :D

a four letter word?

Friday, August 10, 2007

Wasn't it miss huang who shared this poem with us?

Variations On the Word Love
This is a word we use to plug
holes with. It's the right size for those warm
blanks in speech, for those red heart-shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing
like real hearts. Add lace
and you can sell
it. We insert it also in the one empty
space on the printed form
that comes with no instructions. There are whole
magazines with not much in thembut the word love, you can
rub it all over your body and you
can cook with it too. How do we know
it isn't what goes on at the cool
debaucheries of slugs under damp
pieces of cardboard? As for the weed-seedlings nosing their tough snouts up
among the lettuces, they shout it.
Love! Love! sing the soldiers, raising
their glittering knives in salute.

Then there's the two
of us. This word
is far too short for us, it has only
four letters, too sparse
to fill those deep bare
vacuums between the stars
that press on us with their deafness.
It's not love we don't wish
to fall into, but that fear.
this word is not enough but it will
have to do. It's a single
vowel in this metallic
silence, a mouth that says
O again and again in wonder
and pain, a breath, a finger
grip on a cliffside. You can
hold on or let go.

- Margaret Atwood

Hopefully, more than a year and a half later, we all appreciate this poem a little more.

Tragedies.

Thursday, August 9, 2007

helloo!

it's my first time posting on the class blog. oh well i know my post will have nothing to do with the class whatsoever but i just remembered some quotes from shows that you may have watched on TV also and i just wanted to share it with you because it made me feel all warm and fuzzy and i would love to share that feeling.

okay here goes...

George Bernard Shaw once wrote:
"There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it."
Clearly, Shaw had his heart broken once or twice.
As far as I'm concerned, Shaw was a punk. Cause you know what?
Tragedies happen.
What are you gonna do - give up? Quit?
No.
I realise now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are.
And that pain you feel? That's there to remind you, that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.
Yes, losing your heart's desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire? That's all you can hope for.
This year I wished for love... To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel.
My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic,
then give me tragedy.
Because I wouldn't give it back for the world.

love, szeyen.

409 YOU OUGHT TO SEE

okay despite the fact that the majority hates this song, im posting up the lyrics :D

Song: 409 you ought to see

I've walked the streets of Jurong & Tampiness
I've seen the neon lights everywhere else bright
I've climbed the MERLION
The RGS rock wall in one hour
Experience sweet and sour
But that's ok

Seen my other loves, the sunsets in the end
The Sentosa Beach, Newton Circus, The Tangs, RJC
I've crossed the big boundary
Yet still I chose this life
I think of you each night and every day

There's no school I'd rather be
You'll always be a part of me
And even though I've roamed the world
It's still my class I long to see

This is where my classmates
And my friends grew up with me
So I'll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be.

There's no class I'd rather be
You'll always be a part of me
And even though I've roamed the world
It's still my 409'07 I long to see

This is where my family
And my friends grew up with me
So I'll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be

Cause there's no where else I wana be.

eh tell me im a good lyricist leh =) this one shall be up on my blog too.
