Keeping a Weekly Blog Helps Me Improve Myself

!nuf si golb.

Welcome back to another blog post my friends. The god have spoken and we don't get a free topic this week. So today, we're going to talk about how keeping a weekly blog helps me improve myself.

"Oh look, something positive for once."

Yes, yes very funny. Well lets jump into it, shall we?

For most people, me included, we can all agree that we don't actually do the blogs "weekly". Perhaps the lack of time or just the simple procrastination made us that way, but I'm sure that we all don't really do blogs on time. I myself started doing blogs on time after the exams simply because I was focusing on studying. 

The blogs themselves are fun to do. They allow us to explore more topics, be it by reading another person's blog, or maybe looking up some information just to write your own. It helps you practice writing, preparing yourself for the English exams coming in the future so you don't get stuck looking on a blank page wondering how to start or finish a sentence. As they always say, practice makes perfect. 

Sure, most of you may think that this is a waste of time, maintaining and writing blogs, but perhaps, that mindset of yours is wrong. Some people find that writing blogs is fun, since it gives them the chance to introduce or share something they particularly enjoy, for example, I introduce you guys to certain not so well known history topics, and some ideas of social studies that was quite unheard of unless you stumble into it while browsing the interwebs in the late of night.

To some others, provided that we're given the chance for a free topic, it gives them a chance to write stories, be it fiction or non-fiction. It gives them a chance to flex their creative muscles (as stated in the last topic), and it gives the reader thought provoking questions. Most of my blogs are structured that way (if its a free topic), since there's no absolute right or wrong.

That's all for this week folks, perhaps we'll get a free topic next week and I'll write longer posts (lol). This is my opinion on why keeping a weekly blog helps me improve myself. 

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Cheers,
Chua.

ICT-ton and Carnival 2018

Well it's sad to say I missed this one purely because I was busy and no other reason. So I'm going to sum the event up through friends' experiences. To start off, there was a senamrobik activity in the morning. This is quite weird as... you know... it's a carnival.... not Sports Day to be exact. Nevertheless, that happened. I'm guessing most of the participants weren't wearing the proper attire as they didn't get the memo till the last minute. Besides, there was a dunking game that was setup by the Scouts. Though I didn't go to the carnival personally, a few clips circulated around social media such as Facebook and Instagram and that's how I know Joash from 4 Balau got dunked. Mr James that was a former teacher in the school along with Pn Lau got dunked as well. Lastly, the Teen Star Talent show. Again, I didn't go to the carnival so I do not know half of what happened during the event, but the highlight of the carnival was Mr Ganapathy, th...

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...

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...
