Aunt Alexandra

~Aunt Alexandra~

Once an hour-glass figure,

Pinched in the waist, flared in the rear,

Always wearing protective garments.

Strict and stern

Expecting good discipline,

Reprimanding Jem and me always

For being disrespectful.

Like a hand in a glove,

She fitted into society,

But never into Jem’s nor mine,

Maintaining discilpine was all she concerned.

Atticus’ dear sister,

A rule to respect her was passed,

By her ever faithful brother.

Clickety clickety click,

Knitting was her pasttime,

Day or night,

When she wasn’t scolding us…

Prejudice

Know: Prejudice is a form of bias, an act of giving someone or something better treatment than that given to another of the same rank, standard or power. Prejudice is often formed when a person has a bad opinion or impression of the other person, thus giving him worse treatment and benefits. Prejudice is often based on quick but usually wrong judgments. There are many reasons for prejudice. Past year experiences, looks and maybe the person's habits or action might affect how people treat him or her.

What: I want to learn more about how prejudice affected the people in the past and maybe how it will in the future.

My e-learning days......

Hello to all my viewers. It's been a few days since the end of e-learning and I want to post my thoughts about it. Nothing great actually happened on the first day, except for the fact that I had to spend another 1 hour completing all the leftover stuff. Also, I got stuck at the period where we had to do our IS work. I got stuck at the part where I had to insert an image into my website. Have I ever mentioned that I am a complete amatuer where IS was concerned? On the second day, things get a bit wiry. I spent too much time on reading up on the instructions that I did not have time to even do half of the work! Right after that was IH period. Mr Chua instructed us to use Google Docs to discuss our work, but we found that most of us did not even know how to so we decided to use MSN instead. Bad choice! We were immediately singled out on the next day! Afterwards was Science and I practically have no problem with it, except for spending too much time on watching the funny videos instead of doing the actual work. Halfway through doing the work, I was interrupted by a phone call. The phone call really surprised me. There was a scout meeting that afternoon and I was not even prepared yet! I had to stop my work immediately and go for the meeting, of course. This ended me up having to do the Science work at night, which I suppose is already late. What a bad experience!

Sabbatical week is coming!!!

Hello everybody! Sabbatical week is approaching! Are you excited? Well I am! I really can't wait for it to come. I have signed up for the trip to Metrology Centre, have you? Maybe you are not interested in that but let me tell you that I will be most fascinated. I am also looking forward to the camp at St Johns Island. I love camps! I don't like a fact although-- We are not supposed to bring hand phones... :(:(:(:(:(

Flowers For Algernon- My thoughts

Charlie was a mentally-challenged man, until he decided to take up the experiment which would triple his brainpower. He became smarter after on, of course, but the selfish doctors did not inform him that the effects of the operation would not be permanant nor even last long. They only cared about getting the experiment done and not about Charlie. I feel that it is tuly wrong of them to do this. Charlie is the one who will be suffering if the operation were not succesful! Anyway, Charlie took up the experiment without even considering the consequences. He just wants to be smarter...
Alright. Let's come back to Charlie again. Why did Charlie take up the experiment? It is because he wants more knowledge, so that he can be accepted by his friends. But, at the end, was he accepted by his friends? Apparently not! Charlie was not even a slight bit happier after the experiment! Now he has really made a grave mistake and an obviously wrong choice...

My thoughts on MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE TEST. (LA)

Multiple Intelligence Test (MIT). Does it benefit you? Yes, it does make you smarter. But is it really good? I personally think that no, it is not exactly good. Some intelligence supplements like chicken essence help improve your knowledge by a little and these do good to you. But the MIT increases your knowledge by a great amount, thus multiplying your IQ, leaving your EQ behind to catch up and causing emotional problems. Your super intelligence may also probably lead to your friends and colleagues becoming jealous of you. They will soon not treat you as a friend and turn hostile towards you. Would you like this to happen? Of course not! This is only one of the disadvantages of the MIT. Another example of a disadvantage is that the MIT will cause your brain to develop much faster than an average person's. Which means your brain will "grow" faster than your body. This may lead to your brain becoming a great deal older than your body and resulting in Amnesia at a young age! No one would want that to happen to them! So, I think that taking the MIT is not worth it. Would you trade your brain's health for extra knowledge and brainpower?
