FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is one of the most important things that we must have in life. They are the ones that stand by you when you are in trouble or when you face any problems. "A friend in nedd is a friend indeed." Friendship, might be the only thing left for you when you are in trouble.

Friends play in important part in our life. They influence us, sometimes in both the negative and postitve way. Have you ever realize that you change to become more and more like your friends or that your movements and actions are being influenced by your friends. Such examples are often very common, so common that it is often overlooked. Have you ever start to hate a person just because your freinds hate that person, because your friends always say negative stuffs about that person? That is PEER PRESSURE. Just how many people could be unaffected by this pressure? You just become more and more like your friend each day?

However, other than being influence, your friends are also the ones that are there for you when you are down. Who do you go to when you are facing emotional problems and you really need someone close to talk to? How many will think about their parents immediately? Friends are usually who I will choose to go to. Parents just do not understand our feelings. True friends might really be the one that you are left with when you need someone to talk to.

Friends can also enrich your life with knowledge beyond all the textbooks and books. They might teach your valuable values of life which you might never have learnt without them. However, there might be cases where the values taught are negative.

Friends plays a major part of our lifes. It is difficult to live a life without friends. However, we should be careful of who our friends are and when we found a true friend, you should really treasure it.

LEMONY SNICKET
“Lemony Snicket was born before you were, and is likely to die before you as well. His family has roots in a part of the country which is now underwater, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else's villa. To the untrained eye, Mr. Snicket's hometown would not appear to be filled with secrets. Untrained eyes have been wrong before.
The aftermath of the scandal was swift, brutal and inaccurately reported in the periodicals of the day. It is true, however, that Mr. Snicket was stripped of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon and First Runner Up. The High Council reached a convenient if questionable verdict and Mr. Snicket found himself in exile.
Though his formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, he has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. This project, being published serially by HarperCollins, takes him to the scenes of numerous crimes, often during the offseason. Eternally pursued and insatiably inquisitive, a hermit and a nomad, Mr. Snicket wishes you nothing but the best.”
That was taken off totally from the website www.lemonysnicket.com. I believe you can find the interesting points about him there too…
If you are not pleased about it, you can just click any of the link on the side of this blog. It is really a very sad and uncomfortable thing that you stay on and continue to read until this part. You should really take my advise and leave this blog NOW.
This is one of the many interesting way which Lemony Snicket would began in almost all his book. I enjoy reading his book as it really interest me and all the unfortunate things that happened in the book are almost always written in a funny way. Everything that happened in the books are almost always linked to “V.F.D” which was something that remained unknown though out the whole series of unfortunate events unfortunately.
Please Do NOT continue reading as I think it will cause great discomfort and its really boring to carry on. If I were you, I will immediately close this website and start studying the dictionary. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE….

The Fourth Week of Holidays
I’m on the plane typing this post (obviously lying because I am already back in Singapore).
The competition is over and I officially screw it up. Don’t feel like talking about it. But then, many things happened during the trip. Like being called to fall in in the middle of the night, then being punished (thought I deserve it… didn’t set a good example). Anyway the shopping there was scary. The sales people just went crazy and grab on to your hands and arm. Their super market was fun. HUGE and their stuff was interesting. Every thing that is in English in Singapore, its Chinese over there. They had many interesting food and cracker over there… especially their POCKY. Almost sold out. HAHA.
Then on the last day, we were give A LOT of time to shop at the BANGKOK AIRPORT. It was really fun and interesting. Oh, before that, I bought a lot of the OLYMPICS TOYS, not really a lot ( I think only got 5 of the same doll but different size.) okay, back to the airport. Shopped with Lynette and my junior. I bought 2 soft toys ONLY (a chicken and a cow). Lynette didn’t want to spent money. Their BURGER KING was expensive and in really really LARGE servings.
And I really don’t feel like addressing the issue but its like really over-board. Maybe, just maybe, it didn’t happen on you that is why you all don’t understand. To totally forgive, its near IMPOSSIBLE. How do you want me to talk?

The Third Week of Holidays
Blah, it’s the intense practice of the Beijing competition now. Practice and practice. Its fun though. Many things happened but I feel that (I do no know how to describe.) You know, if you always think that you are right even if you are not, and you think that you are the victim… WAKE UP!!!! Yah, it was entirely my fault. BLAH BLAH. Going back to topic…
Like mentioned earlier, many things happened. I told my friends around. Its really sad. Told Shuhadah too, and for I think once in three years, she wasn’t SACRASTIC!!! True friends, huh. Anyways, I’ve been trying to pack my luggage. I’m trying to prove the sales girl wrong. She said that it is impossible to squeeze all my stuff into the luggage as I am going for 7days…
Okay, my dearest friends, I’m still sad so the third week is over. I AM SAD!!! Number of homework completed, ZERO again.
Countdown to BEIJING TRIP: 1 day!!!! ( it’s already over now…)

The Second Week of Holidays
It’s the crazy week on preparing for our concert. Yay!!! Its coming soon. None of the holiday had been completed till the end of this week.
To me, I thought the concert was rather a success. However, some were screwed up. Nice one. And you know, I feel that HONESTLY SOME SHOULD LEARN HOW TO RESPECT. It was the last performance with Xiao Lin. It is really sad. I still remember the first night walk with her. The laughing and the cry. I may not be a good junior but you are a good senior. Bye bye.
There, there, the second week is AGAIN over. Number of homework completed, ZERO.
Countdown to BEIJING TRIP: 7 days ( though its already over when I post this)

The First Week of Holidays
First week of holiday was totally wasted. Spent it all on camping…
It’s a rather sad thing though, however, much special and unforgettable experience was gained. At the Chinese camp, I made quite a lot of new friends, some of which are in our school. Three years in these school, yet only to realise how many of the people are strangers to me. I am finding it hard to accept. Then at band camp, it was quite tough? Mostly like practice… …. Only fun element could be the night walk? Oh, and I realized the joy of bathing. I also made a discovery! It was only until then that I found out that we could bathe in the staff toilets in the new block (bathe there on the last night of camp).
However, one thing that made me regret going to these camp is the holiday homework. None of them are completed, not even started. Could I find someone to help me?
Any kind classmates out there?
P.S I did this on the first week of holidays. I know it seemed really weird to post now….
