    Total Defence Day
    Wednesday, January 27, 2010

    What is Total Defence Day?


    In Total Defence, our people are organised to defend the country against all forms of attack, both military and non-military. Total Defence comprises the 5 pillars. Psychological Defence, Social Defence, Economic Defence, Civil Defence and Military Defence.

    - Psychological Defence is each person's commitment to and confidence in the nation's future.
    - Social Defence is about people living and working together in harmony and spending time on the interests of the nation and community.
    - Economic Defence is the government, business and industry organising themselves to support the economy at all times. Individuals contribute by working hard and meeting the challenges of development. Those who continually improve themselves to stay relevant play an even bigger role.
    - Civil Defence provides for the safety and basic needs of the whole community so that life may go on as normally as possible during emergencies.
    - Military Defence is having a strong Singapore Armed Forces to deter aggression and protect the country. It also involves citizens doing their part to support the military.

    In short Total Defence is about everyone playing a part in the defence of Singapore.

    Why do we celebrate Total Defence Day?
     
    Each year Total Defence Day is commemorated on the 15th February. It marks Singapore's fall to the Japanese in 1942. The commemoration of Total Defence Day seeks to remind people of the sufferings endured by our fore fathers during the Japanese Occupation. It is also an occasion to refamiliarise our people with the modern defence strategy of Total Defence which Singapore has adopted to ensure our continued survival and security.

    4th Journal entry
    Tuesday, January 26, 2010

    This week was  maybe the worst week for me as I fell sick on Monday. I vomitted in school. Everybody in class close their nose showing that I was smelly. In fact, I did not puke on my clothes. Donovan and Luqman accused me of puking in Donovan`s place. I was so sad and was about to cry. I told my mom and she said that let them be. Later one day, they will face what I face! Amirah was kind enough to ask whether I was ok and brought my bag to the office. Dinah also ask if I was ok. I felt relief as there is also somebody who cares about me. On Tuesday, I could not come to school as I was sick and had fever. I got 2 days MC but today I came as I did not have fever and already recovered. Today, got so many homework although I had not come to school for only one day. I was exhausted. My bag was so heavy. Heard that Mdm Yeo could not come for 3 days as she had a course. Not sure what will happen tomorrow. Got to go see you next week maybe!

    P.S : Got to do my homework :P


    Yours sincerely,
    Qamariah

    Graciousness
    Thursday, January 21, 2010

    What is graciousness?
    • A kind attitude and warm courteous
    • Being indulgent
    • Being pleasantly kind
    Why is it important for the society to embrace the value of graciousness?
    It is to avoid disrespectful to others, to know more about our surroundings and to know what the society is up to. We have to work together with the society to be closer and achieve our aim. We have to be kind to the society so as to let the people have a good impression of us and would also do the same to us.


    Here is an example story of showing graciousness:
    Every time when I board SBS Transit or SMRT Buses, I greet the Bus Captains with a cheery "Good Morning!" regardless of which bus I am on. In addition, the vendors at the drink stalls I frequent at Tanjong Pagar, Chinatown and Harbourfront always ask me how my day is going. I appreciate their care and concern for me very much, and I try to pass this on to others too.

    Assembly talk on Responsibility in Words and Deeds
    Wednesday, January 20, 2010

    We have to be responsible in everything that we say and do. We must be responsible for our own actions either the bad or the good ones. Responsibility is a value that is very important. We must not break promises or everybody will hate us. We must be responsible to the family, friends, school, society and not forgeting, ourselves! We must not put all the blames  and point fingers to others. It is very wrong to do that. To be frank, I have done that before a few times but after I have realised what I have done and ponder over it, I felt regretful and wrongful. From then on, I would admit my mistakes even though it is a small mistake.

    What did Mdm Lim & Mdm Sng said

    Mdm Lim:

    Road Safety
    Mdm Lim said that we have to take care of our safety during crossing the road. We should raise up our hands not for fun but to make the drivers alert that somebody is crossing. It is for our safety. What if something unwanted happened? It is our fault and also the drivers fault. It is our fault as we did not raise our hand while crossing the road. It is also the drivers fault as thay are not aware of the children. So, it is important to do something so as to avoid the unwanted things happen. 

    Why is english important and is used as our first language?

    English is important for us to learn because it is the main language that all the people around the world can understand. It is used as our first language as all government schools teach the pupils english and use it for their main language. Furthermore, it is the easiest subject and language and easy for us to learn.


    Why do we have storytelling?
    It takes a lot of moral and courage to stand up on the stage to speak up infront of hundreds of people. If I were told to do that, probably I would not dare especially when we need to memorise what we are supposed to say. Maybe, I would hesitate so much that I would be ashamed of myself. To be a storyteller, we have to be very confident of ourselves.We must have the courage to step up to speak.To be on the stage is really scary. From there, we will learn to be more courageous. We will also get to practise our oral from there.

    Mdm Sng:
    Why do we have reading materials every day?
    Why do we have to read the reading materials every morning? Basically it is for getting us in the mood for the day to learn and be fresh while learning. We would also get to be exposed to different types of reading passages. Sometimes, we will be given fiction or non - fiction passages. We could learn on how to write a better composition as we get ideas on how to make our writing more interesting. We could also learn one or more new words that we do not understand and try to find out the meaning in the dictionary. We could also apply that in our writing.


    Reflection on the reading material
    The story of the ' Unexpected Teacher' is about a doctor who lends a listening ear to a patient who needs care and concern. The patient just wanted someone to listen to his or her story sothat theywolud not bottle up their feelings. Sometimes, it is better to talk to someone about our problems as it will really  help if not much but at least it will ease ouselves from the burden we carry.

    Thank you!

    3rd journal entry!

    Today`s week was going on well so far. I`m not sure if things would get worst if it is getting nearer to the PSLE... :( So, this Monday, I had just started the Malay Structured Programme. I had a workshop on writing composition. It was quite fun.  Mdm Noor taught me different techniques on how to do composition. Then, just I thought on going home, my teacher asked if anybody could help her decorate the class board. So, I volunteered. On Tuesday I had my first prefect meeting. P.E was fun and crazy. Today, my friends Ain and Shukrina went over to my house to do HMT project. Our MT teacher Mdm Noor had assigned us to update the MT blog that the whole malay students in the whole school can read and comment on. I felt happy that happy that my teacher had entrusted the blog to us.

    Second Journal entry! :D
    Wednesday, January 13, 2010

    School went as well as the other days. Gotten my grades for my blog on Monday. My class banding was also fun. Did some homework when I got home. On Tuesday, no maths homework except for english and malay. The english homework was to write down the summary of an article and talk about how we feel about it. My article was so scary as it was about a little girl losing her left ear and four fingers. Today, I had a tiring day as I came back late. There's a prefect's investiture rehearsal. Said that it ended at 2.30 but didn't. It ended at 3. I love being a prefect! I have been a prefect for six years since P1. I am quite proud of myself. But sometimes I feel a little bit boring. The part like most being a prefect is when they have a prefect leadership camp. K, tomorrow is my lucky day and Prefects' Investiture. So, wish me god luck as I will always get very tense going up the stage. I would only be alright when I present something like a powerpoint slide or some kind of that.
    K, got to go, byes!

    My 1st Journal entry
    Wednesday, January 6, 2010

    Hi! My name is Qamariah as you can see in the header. Today is my first day writing my journal entry online... It is quite fun and exciting. Today, I would like to write about my first three day of school. On the first day of school, I came quite early. I was really excited for school and a brand new year of school waiting ahead of me. Mdm Yeo was my form teacher. She had really changed her looks and had a new haircut. It was pretty nice. Okay, nevermind... now I would like to tell you the names of my subject teachers.


    English : Mdm Yeo
    Maths : Mr Alvin Tan ( prefers to be called Mr Tan ) :P
    Science : Mr Alvin Tan
    Malay/Higher Mother Tongue : Mdm Noor
    Social Studies : Mr Oh

    P.E ( Physical Education ) : Mr Simon Tan
    Heatlh Education : Mdm Salbiah
    Art and Craft : Mdm Yeo


    Now back to my story, on the first day of school, my school did not have any banding. So, we in stayed our form class and did some 'housekeeping'. Then, my class was brought to the computer lab. Mdm Yeo did for us a website named 'thinkquest' and told us to log in. My class then updated some of our introduction and about ourselves. We were also told to create a blog for school purposes. I think that Mdm Yeo is quite creative by using online to inform our homeworks. Second day, we went to our Mathematics class. Mr Tan was very funny and tried to make the class happy and more willing to learn. I absolutely had fun there! Oh yes, the first two periods were very fun because we get to play a game during P.E called 'One Leg'. Today, we went for our Science class banding. Then learned some things and had fun just like other days...


    Yours sincerely,
    Nur Qamariah
