" I didn't know the matter would blow up till so big" that was the first words Phillip Malloy said when the press conference questioned him after he had admitted that all he said were lies. " I was nursing a grudge against her( Miss Narwin) and I really regret doing what I have done, sorry my public supporters. It's all my fault." These few sentence shocked the entire public when the press conference was held yesterday(22/2/09 7.20pm Florida time) A tearful Phillip then apologized to the school and Miss Narwin.When asked why he was nursing a grudge against Miss Margaret Narwin, he mentioned about not being able to enter the track team for he was given a fail grade. Throughout the whole conference, Miss Narwin was smiling at all times and was even nodding occasionally. When asked about her behavior, the literature teacher then replied"I am so proud of Phillip this boy, I am glad he is repentant." Phillip Malloy was praised for his bravery to own up and he wished to renter the school, he even had no complaints for Miss Narwin to be his teacher. Dr Doanne, proudly welcome Phillip back to Harrison after the press conference had ended, which lasted 2hours approximately. The whole conference was nothing but the truth.-Jane Chan

Quite busy lately... No time to do blog prompt. Pardon me. Probably do it next week along with photo montage.

Once upon a time, there was an old man, he had 11 children, however, all of them were not old enough to find a job outside, the old man with his wife, had to work all day and night to support the family. Fortunately, due to the fact that they shrimp and save everyday, after 12 years, they were able to save up quite a sum of money- $98.50. The family of 13 lived in the period where televisions were so popular, so popular that their children could no longer resist the temptation to buy a television. Every day, every night, 1 of the 13 will always proposes the idea of buying a black and white television to their father.

One day, the eldest son came back and told his father, “Papa, I heard about a television sale that is going on tomorrow. I think there is a black and white television going at about…about…I think its about $100!” When the father heard that, his eyes lit up and up he jumped from his chair, shouting, “Finally, finally! WAHAHAHA! I AM ABLE TO BUY A TELEVISION. I, ANG CHEE MENG CAN FINALLY PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT I COULD AFFORD A TELEVISION!” In fact, the father did want a television badly, but could not afford it in the past. After a series of cheering, the father suddenly realized that he still had $1.50 to go. Even if he works for 24 hours, he needed 9 days to gather the amount of money and by that time, the sale would have gone.

His wife suggested selling some of their assets, but come to think of it, the family had no assets at all, their only assets are their children. Just then, their cleverest son, Chee Heng, said: “ Papa, you may sell me, I don’t mind.”(Actually the cleverest son only wanted to escape from the life of poverty) The father upon hearing that almost cried, as they had to be fast, the next day, the old man sold Chee Heng to a couple for $2.50.

On the following day, the old man took his $100 and walked proudly to the television sale. His butt was as high as his head and he wore a smug that can be spotted only on the face of rich people.

When he reached there, he asked for the cheapest television. However, to his shock ness, the cheapest cost $149.99! Even if he sold all his children, he still could not buy it. The old man returned home in fits of anger and scolded the eldest child who misled him. However, the eldest replied indignantly, “ PAPA! I merely estimated the price of the television it to the nearest 100 for I was unsure, that was what my teacher taught me!” The old man upon hearing that could not do anything as the teacher’s always right. The money that came from the selling of his child was also not of much use anymore. The only thing he could do was to tell everyone that he nearly could afford a television, just that his eldest son screwed up. A great mathematician was passing by the market when the old man was relating his story to everyone. He realized that there was a major problem with the estimation method people are using then. In his mind, he thought, “What can I do to make estimation more accurate? If this goes on, there will be lots of confusion!” After much thought and effort put into research, he managed to come out with the rule of significant numbers, and from then on, estimation was much more accurate and a lot of confusion was avoided when estimating. If significant number estimation was used when estitmating the price, it would have been $150 instead of $100.

Dear Primary school students,
All of you should know the reason for my presence in front of all of you, on the stage. Alright, sit up straight and listen up. Today, I am going to give a speech on environmental issues in Singapore. Research and observation has shown that primary school students nowadays have a nonchalant attitude towards environmental issues in Singapore. However, if this continues, its not going to do any of us here good. Compare Malaysia to Singapore, what difference do you see between the cleanliness of the environment of the two countries?
The difference cannot be expressed by mere words. Hence I hope this that we shall keep this up, in fact, improve on the current conditions and not let Singapore slip back to the past when the Singapore River was often described as sewers. When that day come, you might think that someone smuggled you to Malaysia! (3Seconds pause for Audiences to laugh. lollollol) Hence I hope everyone can do their part as a Singapore Citizen and start now.
Every teeny weeny bit of litter must land in the dustbin. Spitting is prohibited in the public too. Do not leave food, paper plates or wrappers at the wrong places. Adding on, isn't it cruel to take someone away from his home, using it and not bringing it home? Don't you think that is extremely cruel? Hence, I strongly encourage all of you that are present to bring all your used materials back to their greeney home; the dustbin, that is where they belong. It is not only the cleaner's job to bring those rubbish back to their home, YOU play a part to. Start influencing those who had not had the right values instilled and it will be mission impossible for Singapore to revert back to its 1980s.=D
Do not wait, start right now. Garbage's home. Their bungalow.
