3-2-1 Reflection

I have learned that life during World War II was a torture to those people. They suffered at that time. Well, I appreciate my life right now. During those days, life was no good. Life is like freedom to me. 1 thing which I am interested to learn during History is how World War II actually started...

Life During the Japanese Occupation

War is a destructive and traumatic experience for mankind. The capture of Singapore by the Japanese changed the lives of many people. There were many murders and brutalities inflicted upon the people everyday. Many people were taken prisoner by the Japanese. Prison life was boring, simple with lack of water and food. Many prisoners were hungry and they are all very thin. Many Japanese schools were opened to force the people to learn Japanese culture and respect to the Emperor of Japan. The war that lasted three years was dreadful but the lessons and the war teaches us to value relationships and never to take what we have for granted.

More checks to stem HFMD

HYGIENE checks will be carried out at all 800 childcare centres in Singapore to stem cases of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The viral infection is now on the rise because of a seasonal peak. HFMD can affect both adults and children, causing fever, rashes on hands and feet and painful ulcers in the mouth. Childcare centres are hotspots for the infection which is spread by direct contact with an infected person.

Describe a childhood birthday

My most memorable childhood birthday was when I was 8 years old. It was on a Thursday. I came back from school as usual. I took off my shoes and entered the house. When I entered, I couldn't find anybody in there. There was not even a single person in the house. I was astonished for a while but I saw a purple box decorated with musical notes left on the dining table. " There!" I said to myself. I then saw a note beside the box. I immediately picked up the note. The note wrote: : " HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)" Soon as I pick the note, my parents and siblings came out all of a sudden. I was surprised. My parents were holding a chocolate cake which was my favourite and my siblings were singing Happy Birthday on the way to the dining table. They placed the cake on the table and they asked me to make a wish. I soon made a wish. Then they said that the box over there was my present. I opened it and inside it was a mp3 player! I was so happy :) I would not forget this childhood birthday.

Feelings for Bruno and Anne Frank

I felt sad for the death of Bruno and Anne Frank. They were being pushed into the air-tight gas chamber. They were children. Both of them were innocent and went into the room without any further thoughts. They were pitiful and they had suffered unnecessarily. I also felt angry with the Hitler who killed the Jews which were cruel. ;(
