Chinese New Year

My Chinese New Year resolution is to have lots of hongbaos and my target for this year is $250!
On Sunday, which is the CNY Eve, my family and I had our reunion dinner in a Chinese restaurant. We had chili crabs, steamed fish, cereal prawns and of course, shark fin’s soup. After the sumptuous dinner, we took a walk in Labrador Park, to aid our digestion. My grandparents started their long-grandmother-story while we walked. We had heard this almost every year! Then, we went home, though tired but jubilant, to watch the New Year’s countdown show.
On Monday and Tuesday, we went to our relatives’ houses to pay them a visit. I gave them two mandarin oranges and said some CNY greetings in exchange for a hongbao. The feeling of counting the hongbaos at night was truly thrilling. On Tuesday, we went to Johor Baru (JB) as most of my mother’s relatives were there. Luckily, there is no school for me on Wednesday so I can do my homework the next day.
On Wednesday, we mostly spend our time at home, thus, I used this time to do my homework.
Happy Chinese New Year to one and all!

What caused Adeline(Based on Little Ironies) to commit suicide?

What really caused Adeline to commit suicide? Was it because that one mark which her teacher did not give her, even though Adeline pleaded her? Or was it because she did not want her demanding parents to ‘lose face’ in front of their friends?
Well, in my opinion, she died because her parents were too demanding and unreasonable. Imagine, if Adeline’s parents had not been so demanding, would all these had happened? No, it would not. Her parents had to take the blame for losing her daughter. If all the parents in the world were as demanding as Adeline’s parents, all the children would have commit suicide!
Some people say that her teacher was partly to blame. I somehow do not agree with that. When Adeline went to her teacher for a mark, just to pass her grades, she rejected Adeline, without asking for the reason why she wanted it so badly. However, her teacher would not know that Adeline would kill herself because of this. And, if her teacher had known earlier, I believed she would give her that one mark.
From this touching story, I learnt that parents should not force their children to get high grades if they are not clever or so-called ‘study-type’. Dear Parents, try putting yourselves in their shoes, and how would YOU feel?

What is the difference from Singapore's education system from other countries?

Please give your comments regarding the question above. I will give mine someday. Thank you :)

What is Education?

The meaning of the word ‘education’ found in the dictionary is the process of teaching and learning, usually at schools, colleges and universities. But I think that its meaning is to impart knowledge to someone anywhere, anytime. Normally, this word is associated with ‘teaching’ and 'learning’. Every time the word ‘education’ comes to people’s minds, they will think of schools and other education centres. However, they never think that education can come from homes.
Well, in my view, learning can come from anywhere you can think of. Learning from homes such as parents teaching their children how to use the computer or telling them what is right and what is wrong. It can also be during school outings to zoos and the teachers teaching them the characteristics of animals. There are a lot of examples of education. Teachers in schools teach more on studies and not on moral education whereas parents in homes are more on moral education.
But together, teachers and parents play an essential role in making the child’ future brighter.
