First Week of School

First Week of School (SMKDJ)
The very first week of the first school semester. Some dread it, while others look forward to it.
To me, neither of both mattered.
A month of holiday might sound good to take a break after a long year of hard work and constant
studying to prepare for PT3, but after a week or so, you start to get that feeling of missing being
with your friends in school, doing activities together.
(not group work with random people that don't know each other really well)
New semester, new class, new classmates and a whole new timetable to memorize.
First week is always pretty exciting, since you get to meet your friends again after a long month.
What's more exciting is that the classes. While some might be boring, others can be quite fascinating.


Since it's the first week, nothing much other than normal classes and longer than average speeches
from Mr.Ganapathy. The changes for co-curriculum were quite interesting too,
but transporters might have some trouble adapting to it.
This year’s class streaming split my former classmates into different class.
Some of them still retained their friendliness, while others… not so much.
Let's hope that's just the effect of stress on the first week of school.
This pretty much sums it up for the first week.
I am looking forward to whatever that might happen for the rest of the year.
Cheers.

Chua.

    Hello Weng Hwang! I love your essay and especially the choice of words you have used. Your essay motivates me to be more sociable among our classmate and I can really relate to what you are feeling. I literally feel extremely awkward as I came to my new class and I am more used to my old class last year. I do not struggle with the problem of not talking to to others as now I feel much more comfortable among our classmates. Have you got use to our new friends and if no, how can you get closer to them?

    I certainly love your wonderful , wonderful and fantastically wonderful choice of font and word color. It is soooo eye catching that even I am thinking of doing it myself.

    It is hard to adapt to new environments but it has been quite a long time since you wrote this blog so I hope you are doing better. Don't be too attached to people from your former class because some of them does not even care and you shouldn't too.

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

Story starting with a sentence given by Pn Monica

L. ------ Ping.. My mobile phone lit up with a message from Pn. Monica.... It was a late Friday night, and after a long week people are surely tired and wanted to take a break. The message started a lot of distraught, since people wanted to take a break on a Saturday. "Please go to the library tomorrow. I have an important task for you." Sure enough, the request sparked a lot of questions in the group chat, varying from asking why do we have to go to school on a Saturday, or how important this task is, to mindless puns and jokes about said task. Following morning, we gathered in the library, chattering about what a hassle it is to get out of bed on a warm, cozy, Saturday morning. Just when the crowd began to get heated on discussing what they're going to do, Pn Monica emerges from her office, and carrying a thick book inscribed in an language that none of us has seen before. She place the thick book down on the table with a loud thump. "That's one h...

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...
