AEC ( Heritage Trail)

Poster on riots Heritage Trail : National Museum of Singapore During the 3-week term break in June, I embarked on a heritage walking trail. The trail that I have chosen was National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park which were both located near Cityhall Mrt. The National Museum of Singapore is the oldest museum in Singapore. Its history dates back to 1849, when it was started as a section of a library at Singapore Institution and called the Raffles Library and Museum.  (Singaporevr.com, 2017) I choose to go there because there are many history stories kept in the museum, I also choose to go there as it is air-conditional which will keep me cool in Singapore hot weather. >< The interior looks very nice and appealing.  I explored and walk around to see different parts of the museum and to go see the artifacts. I saw the timeline of Singapore's history and the stories about it.  This is a video of Mr Lee Kuan Yew addressing to people ...

$5 Challenge Can I survive $5 a day? Hmm... I think I will make it. :) Let's see how my day goes with only $5 DAY 1 Breakfast - Roti Prata at SingaporePoly FC2 $1.50 Lunch -  Yong Tau Fou $2.50 Dinner - Spicy Korean noodles $1 I cooked it for another family member of mine, thats why there are two bowls of noodles DAY 2  Lunch - Mixed veg. rice $2 ( 1 meat, 1 veg ) Dinner - mixed veg. rice $2.20 ( 1 meat, 1 veg ) $5 challenge completed! How did I feel with only $5 a day? I was not complaining at all throughout the day. Even though $5 seem really little , i feel that it was sufficient for me to last a day. Usually I only eat 2 meals a day (Brunch and Dinner) so $5 a day is not an issue for me. On daily basis, I would eat mixed veg. rice that has a meat and a vegetable, which cost only about $2+ each for both ...

Yearly Affair ( 4NA'16)

Image
My schoolmates (I mean my ex-school mates TT) and I would go to an outing together, at least once every year. We went to East Coast Park to cycle. We stayed at the West side of Singapore so we took close to 2 hours to get there. But it was worth it :) When we reach there, we ate breakfast together. We then headed to cycling park and rent our bike.  We found a bike shop that rents out their bike at $10 for unlimited time ride. Hence, we decided to rent from that bike shop as we could ride till late night. We then taught Nathaniel how to cycle so he didn't knew how to. Fortunatly he managed to learned how to cycle at the end of he day. Time passes really quickly when we had fun. Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye. Some of them had to leave at around 6pm while the rest of us continue to cycle and eat dinner together. The sunset scenery was really nice. I am so glad that i didnt leave early. The nightcycle was one of the best thing that could ever happen. It was co...

Acer appreciation blogpost

Image
What is Acer? Acer is a student body group that helps out in roadshows and other events. For example, going to secondary school and give talks to students,teachers about SP and its couse-related stuff. At first , I only applied for Acer because my friends and seniors asked me to. I went to their interview and got in. Actually, I applied for 2 CCAs. However, I did not get into the other CCA. I attended the Acer 3 day camp activity. I had alot of fun, and met many new people. They were all very friendly. Recently, we went out for a gathering. It was nice to eat dinner and talk to them. I hope i will be closer to them though because I am an awkward potato. I don't make friends easily as i don't know what kind of topic i should bring up to them. POSEIDON TRIBE FTW!

AEC ( GAME TIME Earthopoly)

Earthopoly I have always love to play monopoly since young. I spent my childhood time playing it. Sometimes, my parents are busy with work so they couldn't play with me. However, I never felt lonely with monopoly board game. Furthermore, it trains one's mind. I am usually the bank whenever it comes to monopoly games. I just can't help but smile and be happy whenever I hand money to people.  My friends and I were bored as there were a 3 hour break between our lessons. We didn't had much stuff to do as well so we walked to the library and played Earthopoly - An Eco-friendly version of monopoly. Just like the rest of the Opoly family of games from Late for the Sky Earthopoly is a board game in which you collect properties. But in an earth friendly twist you increase your property values by collecting Carbon Credits and trading them in for Clean Air - how eco-cool is that? If you are bad, Instead of getting sent to jail you get sent to the dump. I f you hit the bi...

AEC ( Worker Writes)

Worker Writes -  Migrant Workers Poetry Competition   Migrant Workers Poetry Competition is a very special competition because the participants were by people that leave their hometown, to come to Singapore to work. Many of the Poetry writes about how they miss their family members as well as their hometown.  one of favourite poetry is  乙未杂诗 千里过番落南洋,廿岁卅载未还乡。 孤衾残枕话凄凉,夜闻霪雨入寒窗。 沧桑羁旅多少秋,转徙图存鬓白头。 艋艟难载桑梓愁,唯把星洲作神州 Translated version  I crossed a thousand miles and settled in the foreign land of Nanyang. It has been twenty to thirty years since I returned to my hometown. Loneliness left its residue all over my pillow and blanket, At night I heard the downpour seeping through my shabby window. How many autumns have it been since I got trapped in a strange land? Moving around and struggling until my hair has gone grey. Even the ship cannot bear the load of my homesickness, All I can do is to imagine Singapore as China. (mig...

伤痕累累

我很想你。。。你呢?你是否也跟我一样? 在安宁的晚野, 我看着月亮想着你,因为我知道我们是不同世界的人。  可我已经很累了。。。 因为你的爱与存在,带给我的只是负担和担忧 。 我不想在这样了,可我却还是放不下。 那天,我们又偶然遇见了对方。我们却不理彼此,匆匆忙忙地走过。我知道我们已经回不了那幸福快乐的日子。可是我们哪到就不能当好朋友了吗? 和醒来让泪水打湿斑斑泪痕的枕边,对于错没有界定,我们都在承受命运的捉弄。。。
