Today we SM3 students witness two basketball games in Eton Hall. I was in one of the games. That was a game between Group 4 and Group 8. The game was more than wonderful, but a little fierce. Both of the teams see highly of the game. We all want to win this game.
The game started at 6:30 punctually. Our first three are Xiaodong, Steven and me. We all do our best to do offense and defence. Our strategy is mainly a strategy of center. I was honorly assigned to be the center. The game went on so fast that got out of our control. First half, we were 4 points behind.During the first half , all of us lost most of energy.
Then came the second half. The game was even more fierce than the first half.Unfortunately, I got my ankle sprained at about 10 minutes left.But I pretend ed that nothing had happened after a terrible scream. We were too tired in the second half and I even felt my legs nearly cramping.At last, Xiaodong's leg cramped severely. Finally I asked the referee to end the game.
The whole game went on in a high pace, and there was something wrong with our strategy.However, the referee is the one to blame.It is obvious that the judges were very poor.He missed more than 60% of the fouls. He acted so stupid which made me wonder whether does he know basketball rules!
After this, I suddenly realised that it is just a game.And it is life.

Kungfu Panda(Yap)
It was after midnight that I watched this movie. All of my roommates had drifted off, and thus deep silence was surrounding me. The attracting plot, moving dialogues and fantastic scenes made me lose the sense of time. An excellent movie, indeed. Many words and scenes touched me and made me contemplate involuntarily.
“Nothing is impossible.” “There’re no accidents.” Plain words imply profound philosophy. Just believe everything may happen. And prepare for it. If truth be told, I really believe in destiny. That’s why people are born different. No one can change his destiny. Notwithstanding, we can choose to perform our egos to the best on our way to the destiny. And there are no destined losers. If one’s destiny knocks him down, his destiny must pick him up again, because no one knocks himself down.
Teamwork. I was amazed that I thought of this word. Strange but sensible. It is strange because the whole movie does not have this word or words related. “That is why you trained us.” Tigress said, and then followed the scenes that the Five went to intercept Tai Lung. Thanks to the sacrifice of the five, the teamwork is formed. In this team against Tai Lung, Panda PO acts as “dragon warrior”, the master as “dragon warrior” trainer, and the Five as fighters to delay Tai Lung in order to get enough time for the former two to achieve their destiny. Perfect teamwork not only brings success but also makes every of them learn the true meaning of life.
“There are no secret ingredients.” The only factor that can inspire your full potential is yourself. Everyone is special and irreplaceable. That’s why panda wins finally. He knows that he is “the” big fat panda, not “a” big fat panda.
Finally, I want to talk about the aesthetic scenes of this movie. The first one is when Wugui vanishes. Peach blossom is wafted towards Wugui by the breeze and surrounds him. Then his body begins to disappear from the bottom. He died, but keeps alive with the nature, a part of nature. His spirit motivates the Master to believe in Panda PO and strive for peace. The second one is the last scene. The peach seed that was tossed by the Master spouts two green lovely leaves, which symbolizes that new vigor has been injected into the valley.
A wonderful night with Kungfu Panda!

An amazing beginning for F1 (Jega)
I have been waiting for several months and now the new Formula One 2009 season begins. Unfortunately, no TV live is available in our room , so I have to go to NUS on weekends with my computer. I have known that according to the test result, the new Brawn GP is leading and Ferrari still has a lot of work to do. Anyway, no fans will doubt the strength of the famous team. Therefore, I still look forward to a good result in the coming Austrilian Grand Prix.
But the result of exercise and the qualifying laps doesn't make me optimistic any more. I happen to see Ferrari has already lost its leading position. Many small teams make a great improvement and they even have advantages over Ferrari. I just deeply lose myself in thought. What will happen tomorrow? Could the situation become even worse? We have got used to the custom that F1 is the fight of the big teams like Ferrari , Mclaren and BMW. How come that the big teams fall behind and the small teams take the leadership?
On sunday, I just get ready for the online signal when the race begins. Ferrari takes advantage of the KERS and get a good start. While, the good condition doesn't last long when the tyres do not work as expected. Then, the cars become slower and slower, the rank gets lower and lower. Maybe when Massa quit the race for mechanic failures, I just feel freshing. I can finally get away from the disappointing race. Yet, the whole team should take a review of the race and find the reason, the problem. I will always be for them and give my best wishes to them. Good luck for the next races.
(YAP) Paper Works
Two of my roommates are making paper roses by themselves to send to their beloved ones or those they care about in China. I got one and put this special green paper rose at a most conspicuous place on my desk. Sometimes I look at it thinking how much love has been put into it, which finally reminds me of my paper works that once were given to others.
I made my first birthday card to a friend of mine when I was still an eighth grader. His birthday that year was right after we became desk mates, while we had already been very close friends then. So to make a birthday card for him was more like a ceremony for celebrating our closer relationship. I prepared more than two weeks making dehydrated flowers. With elaborately chosen ribbons and other decorations I completed something I called perfect. It was not surprising that he turned out to be moved and his compliment stimulated me to "manufacture" more and more cards (neither of which were the same, of course). So subsequently I made everyone of my good friends birthday card as an attachment to their gifts; however those lovely paper works were their favorite, for they were unique, they were out of my hands and they were full of love.
No more than two years later I gave up this habit to curb the expected monotony of repeating. Much to my disappointment, I never find a better way to express how special my friends mean to me afterwards. And I am wondering if they still keep those paper birthday cards as well. That’s why I am now putting forward the paper rose in front of me. Meanwhile, I hope those who will receive the paper works could cherish the pure beautiful friendship from my roommates. In regard of me, to walk down memory lane is also a kind of happiness anyway.
learning time: "white man" can sometimes mean the person we can rely on because he or she is honest.

The visit to Pulau Ubin(ML)
The recess week has been the past tense but the memory of the visit can be the future tense.
In fact, the Pulau Ubin is quite far from Eton Hall. It almost takes us about one and half hours to get there. Thinking back to the transportation that we take, I find that we almost take every type of the transportation. Firstly we walk to the MRT station. Then we take the underground and go on with the bus. Finally we use the boat to get on that island. In addition, we spend most of the day riding bike there. Although we don’t take the plane, we still many planes fly in the sky which we say they come back to China.
The most exciting and memorable part is riding the bike. I have never before so it is quite fresh to me. When the wind passes by, the sound gives you the sense of freedom and youth. When we shout on the road and seaside, when we laugh across the forest, when we ride bike by bike, when we strech arms to greet the wind, I feel that it is so good to be young. It is the youth’s right to be crazy. Something can be only done in the youth. It is so nice to do crazy things with the one who has the same thought.
The trip is full of laughter and excitement. I can not say I will remember it forever and ever but I know that when I ride the bike again, when I come to the seaside again, when I feel depressed, I will think of the trip with the smile. At last I want to say thank you to all your guys for giving me the special memory.

my early memories (08) (ML)(1)
When I was writing my 4th essay—one of my earliest memories, I also came up with another several.
I think it was a cold winter day when I was 5 for 6 years old,I did not want to go to the kindergarten and was also not quite myself that day. i might have caught a cold, so mum gave me a thermometer to take my temperature.5 minites later,I got the thermomerter out .
“Hope that I am having a fever,but what should I do if the temperature is not high enough?”must sort out a way to make the temperature higher.guess what happened,I saw the heating radiator .so I put the thermometer on the radiator ,several seconds later, mum called me to take out of the thermometer.she was shocked when she saw temperature was more that 44 degree,then she toug hed my head ,which was not that hot.
“When was the thermometer broken?”mum wondered,
“I don’t know,is it broken?why did you say so?”
“You temperature is more than 44 degree,you will be killed if you are 44degree!!” laughed mum.
“Ok,so~~” I was in a guilty conscience.
“GO to the medicine box to get another thermometer.”
“the thermometer was put on the radiator for too long! “murmured I walking to the medicine box.
so I put the second thermometer on the radiator for just 3 to 4 seconds before giving it to mum
“oh,my goodness,how do you feel now?”mum was really shocked this time when she saw the themometer.
“I have a headache and want to throw up”,
“you are having a fever. You must have caught a cold, I will get you some medicine. Don’t go to the kindergarten today.go to bed to have a sleep.”
So I went back to my room and played for a whole day like that and enjoyed myself very much that day.

A trip to Palau Ubin
Last Monday, our group have a trip to Pulau Ubin.
It was sunny that day,no cloud and no wind. It is said that the sun had shone Singapore vertically at 1am that day.
7:40 am, we went out of eton hall. About 10 o'clock , we got onto the island. During that time, we took an MRT to the EW4, then a Bus 2 to the terminal and finally got on the island by boat. The boat was very old, but the engine seemed to be very powerful. With the roar of the engine, the boat arrived the small island.We rent bicycles right after disembarking.
In my first sight of the island, it is green island which is covered by many kinds of plants.There was a seafood restsurant just at the disembarking point. I was happy to notice that one of the waiters was a Chinese woman from PRC.
There are two kinds of bicycles, one is the single one with two wheels, and the other is for two with three wheels.I was not surprised that all the bicycles are made in China.
The bicycle trip is a little bit difficult for the routine was not that flat.The road streched up and down. A part of it was even muddy.Thanks to the sunny day for not making it a nightmare.
At last , we gathered on the end of a 'trestle' something like a corridor extending into the sea.There we saw several aeroplanes taking off from the Changi Airport.That really recalled our homesick.How we wish that we were on of the planes! We shouted, we cried, we waved hands to the planes. It sseemed that we had totally release the press in the chests.
When going back to Eton Hall, ecerybody had worked out. However, the memory will last for my lifetime . It is the memory that will never fade.
