/*Singapore and Moscow are the two countries that got into the final round of the bid for the Youth Olympics 2010. You are the leader of the Singapore team, about to make a presentation to the committee considering your bid. Prepare a presentation.*/
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am here today to bid for Singapore to host the Youth Olympics 2010. As you all know, Singapore is a very small country and you might think it unfit to host somthing as big as the Youth Olympics. However, Singapore has many world-class facilities and equipment. It is more than fit to host the Youth Olympics 2010. Singapore is also one of the cleanest cities in the world with its well known nickname "The green city". Singapore also has a high connectivity to the world, and is one of the world's most youthful independant country. Singapore has a reputation for excellence globally and has a unique multiracial harmony. All in all, it would be the perfect city to host the youth olympics.
Thank you for your kind attention

/*You are an Indian Politician who is very much against the sale of organs illegally, especially towards the unscupulous doctors who removed people's organs without their consent. You strongly believe that the government plays a crucial role in ensuring that such criminals be punished, which serves as a sever deterrence. Draft a speech you are going to make at the legislature meeting.*/
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I want to raise with you the issue of illegal organ sales now rampant in our country. The citizens living in the slums have begun to sell their organs illegally, in a bid to raise money to live. Almost everyone in certain villages have sold one of their kidneys. It is fine when the patient asked for it in the first place, no matter illegal or not, but some unscrupulous doctors have taken to taking patients organs out without their consent. The worst of them, Dr. Kumar, we have recently apprehended, but there are still others out there. We must ensure that these criminals would be severely punished in order to deter other doctors from following in their footsteps. I propose that we sentence these noxious doctors to life imprisonment with no chance of parole.
I know everyone of you thinks that this is a horrible sentence to give to anyone, even to these foul scum(if I may use the word), but we must deter people from participating in such deeds like this. Please consider my words.
Thank You for listening to my speech

/*Age and experience are importent to the workforce in any country. Discuss with relevant examples how this statement is true.*/
Age and experience in life are the most important things at work. Most important is experience. It would help you to do your work faster and better. This can be shown in ordinary life. A person inexperienced in ironing clothes will almost certainly create a "disaster" on his first attempt, whereas, an experienced mother or grandmother would do it so perfectly the clothes would look as good as new. It is therefore no wonder that all around the world, employers look for employees with experience in a certain area that would be crucial to the success of the company itself. This is also the reason why so much emphasis is placed on education. An all-rounded person is better than a person who is just good in only one aspect. It is therefore crucial that you set your foundations right before you build your building.
The taller you want your structure to be, the deeper the foundations must be. this is also reflected in the world of plants. Plants with deep roots, like trees, have the potential to grow tall. However, cacti, with their wide-spread but shallow roots, hardly grow taller than a few metres.

Bryce's "ACE project"
I said that I would'nt be posting on stuff other than BPs but this is too funny to miss out.
This is a poem from my classmate to his "friend" Andrea:
Andrea, when we first met,
It was love at first sight.
I started thinking of you,
Everyday and night.
You gave me a strange emotion
That I could never fight.
Then when you left for 3.4
I thought life had lost it's light.
Then I soon found out,
You came to my class for CL
I would eagerly await,
Then try to abolish the bell.
Soon word got out,
It was no longer in my heart's shell.
And once we went to separate schools,
Life became hell.
I tried to forget you,
I really, really tried.
But the more I thought of you,
The more I cried.
But after schoolwork piled up,
I thought my feelings had died.
But 3 years later,
I realised my heart had lied.
3 years later,
I stepped into good old HCI.
Then Jian Shun started all,
by saying hi.
When he said his school,
When I said I was from Cat High
I realised that throughout,
We had never said bye.
He told me more about you,
About how you had grown.
If I had known where you were,
There I would have flown.
I tried to get your details,
your email and your phone.
To get the girl sitting,
on my heart's throne.
We continued on to become,
Facebook friends.
Then we went to,
chat alot on MSN.
I soon became,
one of it's many fans.
Because it turned all my 'should have's in to 'can's
You came back into my life,
Just when I was feeling blue.
And now I need to know,
Exactly how do you feel?
Do you feel the exact,
Same way that I do?
If you don't know,
the one I love is you and only you.
Thanks to you,
now my life is perfectly fine.
I hope you're willing to leave,
Our past behind.
On this day,
so close to the day of Valentine,
I want to ask,
Andrea will you be mine?
Did you like it?
P.S. If Miss Soh has seen this, Bryce wants to know if he could get ACE points for this.

Blog Prompt (BP) #2
BP #2
/*Imagine your group has just invented an electronic device that helps other students learn better in the classroom. write a short press release that describes this new device and explain how it will promote learning*/
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm sure you have heard of the product that we have created. It is a product that uses many ways to help students all around the world learn better in the classroom. i shall now describe the different functions and uses it can offer.
This ingenious device can record down the student's lesson and place it in its extensive database where the lesson can be viewed at the students leisure. It can also take down notes or important points in the lesson and file the final collection into notebooks which the student can use to revise for examinations or tests.
This product also has a special way to make students concentrate in class. It would vibrate continuously when the student is facing the wrong way or talking in class. this would continue to happen until the student is paying attention again.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I sincerely hope that this product of ours would help students all over the world with their studies. Who knows, it may even benefit your children in the near future...
Thank You for your kind attention.

CCA
In case I forgot to tell you, I am in Judo for CCA. I out weigh everyone else in the CCA, which might also indirectly mean that i am the heaviest in the whole level.
I have already went for my first few lessons...and I can't say it isn't tough. Apparently members of Judo have to do like...150 push-ups a day, amounting to 600 push-ups a week for school team members.
P.S. Ms Soh I think I have just enabled comments for my blog.

Sorry about the lack of posts
Sorry about the lack of posts for quite some time. I had some tests which i had to study for. They aren't over yet and I can't say that I had done well for the other tests which I had taken. Anyway, I have to fill in all my blog prompts which I have yet to do for the sake of ACE points which is the point about this blog in the first place.
