comcare fund

Comcare fund is a commitment from the Government to do more for needy Singaporeans, to ensure that no one will be left behind. The government of Singapore put up $7700000 for applications last year and $5100000 had been used.

33000 people applied for the comcare fund last year,most of them came from single income family with monthly pay less than $1000. Successful applicants received money from the funds and opportunity to attend classes on learning how to manage their finances.

Managing money is very important because it will prevent us from spending over our limit.


merlion

Chinese new year is round the corner.Singapore is going to clean it's merlion at Sentosa because it has been 4 years since it was last cleaned.The merlion is 34 metre tall and it will take a total of two hundred and forty man hours to clean it. Workers need to put on harness while cleaning the exterior of the merlion.

It is important to keep our merlion clean because it is Singapore's iconic symbol. This will also give tourists a good impression of Singapore.

Chinese New Year

This year, our country, Singapore will extend the new year celebration from Chinatown to Singapore river to let all the Singaporeans as well as local visitors and tourists be able to see it. This new year celebration will last for 3 months 7 days.
Why is it so that it is a must to celebrate Chinese New Year for all Singaporean? It is because that we can welcome a new year again. Lee Hsien Long estimated that 200 thousands people will be at the Chinatown or Singapore river, fireworks will be put out on that day as well. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long will officiate at the opening ceremony of lighting.
I feel that it is a very good idea of starting a new year in this way. As a prime minister,he did play his parts by lighting at the opening ceremony. To make sure that we also play a part,I think that we should also turn out on that night.

making xiao long bao

Some business men have arranged a bun-making activity for elderly in the old folk's home. They have engaged chef to teach the elderly how to make “xiao long bao”, a small steamed bun with minced meat filling. They were making “xiao long bao”to welcome Chinese new year.

It is a very good form of exercise for the elderly because it trained their hands ,ears and eyes coordination. It also brings happiness and liveliness to the elderly.

health check screening at taman jurong

Two hundred and fifty medical and nursing students from the national university of Singapore started a health check screening event for elderly residents of Taman Jurong.

Some students went around the neighbourhood to gather elderly residents to do their health check screening while the others station themselves at the station to help conduct the health screening. This event will last for three months. They are doing this to help the poor and elderly so as to alert them of their medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.

This event is a good way of helping the poor as they do not have money to visit doctors. I hope to see more Singaporean doing this meaningful event.

something that happen during the recess

下课了,同学们都来到食堂。有的在排队,准备买东西,有的在聊天。小明和小山却在在食堂追着玩耍。他们绕着桌子,跑来跑去,把桌子弄得乱七八糟。

这时,小明没有看到小丽手里端着一碗面,正要走向座位。结果,小丽被小明撞倒,碗掉到地上,面和汤都洒到满地。幸好小丽没有受伤。

小丽很生气,就把事情的经过一五一十地告诉王老师。王老师指责小明和小山。“你们怎么能在食堂里玩呢?你们不知道这样做很危险吗?”小明和小山知道错了。他们红着脸,低下了头,向小丽道歉。自从这件事发生后,他们不敢在食堂里玩耍了。

母亲节快到了,但是小丽不知道要送什么礼物给妈妈。于是,小丽一边制作贺卡,一边想:“怎么办?”小丽想来想去,终于决定送一束鲜花给妈妈.

母亲节当天,小丽放学后就走到花店买了一束鲜花。回到家后,小丽先把功课做完,再准备晚餐等妈妈放工回来吃。

当妈妈放工回来时,小丽拿着鲜花和贺卡,走到妈妈的面前对他说:“母亲节快乐!”妈妈看见小丽那么懂事,微笑地对她说:“你真是我的乖孩子!”

一个风和日丽的星期天早上,妈妈带着小明和小丽到附近的公园去散步。小丽还带了一包她最爱吃的糖果.

到了目的地,他们一边欣赏五颜六色的花朵,一边谈天说笑。这时,小丽把刚才带来的糖果拿出来吃,然后随手把糖果纸丢在地上。妈妈看见了,便对他说:“我们不能乱丢垃圾。这样俶是不对的,保持公园清洁,人人有责。”

小丽把糖果纸拾起来,然后再丢进垃圾桶里。

email

Yesterday,my father emailed Clarice form teacher for an apologies on behalf of her. Clarice came to school late because it was shown that Wednesday is a contact time which means that she could go to school later.



This did not seemed to happen and when she reached school,She went up to the hall and saw nobody. Then,she went to the classroom. She saw pupils in the classroom doing their work and reading.

Her teacher asked her,”Did you wake up late?”She answered in a low tune ,"No."as she find it embarrassing. After that,she went back to her seat

swimming class

Today evening,I went for a swimming class. The expectations by the instructors were very high.


I was huffing and puffing rushing so that I can cope up with the others swimmers as well. Due to that they were swimming very fast,I did not really manage to cope up with them. Then,it was the twenty-five metre sprint. I had the fastest timing.


I learnt that it does not matter if you win or lose but what really matters is that you have tried your best.

standing in front of the class

Today,I was standing right in front of the class telling them about the leaf that I found. I was the first few to introduce.

I told them,”I found this leaves in the car park near my house. This leaves come from Senegal mahogany. It is one of the top ten known well tree in Singapore. The tree is always straight and has a large bushy crown. The upper side of the leave is dark green while the underside of the leave is light green. We classify this as a leave because it has leave veins,leave blade,leaf stalk.”

I found that by doing this it will let us learnt more about the different types of leaves and able to speak clearly in front of the class without getting nervous and scared.

A day eating outside

This afternoon,Mother brought me to the coffee shop near my house to eat as she will not cook because daddy is not coming back home for dinner tonight. Also,she was scared that there will be a lot of leftover dishes.

When we reach the coffee shop,I ordered a plate of rice plus some food while mother ordered a bowl of laksa. Halfway through eating, we felt thirsty and ordered Sprite. Afterwards,we went to Sheng Song and bought some things that mother needed for cooking tomorrow.

Soon, it was almost two o 'clock. I suggested of going to Coffee City to fetch my second aunt but she said that it was too early. So,we went back home carrying lots of plastic bag.

A Pe lesson

This afternoon,we played some maths games in the class after we have completed our journal. Everyone enjoyed very much because we even had points system. My group won the most number of points.

Afterwards, we had PE. My PE teacher is Mr Suhadi. He played with us lots of games and we enjoyed ourselves very much.Like folding a rubber band into balls and ice and freeze. By the time we had finished playing,our face were red and filled with perspiration.

We change into our school uniform. We were so hot that we do not even feel like changing. At last,we finished changing and we went to have our lunch.

first day at school

Today was my first day in school. It has been a long time since I ever went to school. When I was in school,my best friends told me jokes and that makes me even want to go to school. When I was at home,I miss my best friends as they had always been good to me and make me laugh.


My younger sister is studying in the same school as me. She is primary one this year. I hope that she can enjoy herself for the first few day together with her friends,teachers and buddies. I wonder how she feel when she step into the school?Anxious,scared,happy or excited?


Mother told me this afternoon when I came back from school that she woke up early in the morning. I thought that I have warned her to wake up late as she could not sleep in the school but she did not listen. I bet she must be feeling excited!

a day at tampinese giant

Yesterday,my parents took me,my elder sister and my two younger sisters to Tampinese. When we reach there,we could not find any parking lots. After five minutes of waiting,a man finally drove his car out. Father park the car and we enter into the shopping mall.

Mother went to the toilet at second floor while we go into “Giant”. Baby was crying for Mother,my father told her,”Stop crying and I will buy you something.” My baby sister stop crying and she kept taking lots of things while me and my elder sister kept keeping and covering. When she realise it,Father took another toy for her and we helped her to take. Finally,baby fell asleep. We put back the toys while mother queue up to pay for the groceries.

Baby only woke up when we carried her to the car. She was busy finding her toy,my father told her,”I will buy it for you another time.”
