Reflection on EOTA

I always thought that there were only EOYAs (i.e. end of year activity). So, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted of the upcoming EOTA (end of term activity). And what was more: it was going to be bowling! How wonderful!

However, I began to wonder how 130 boys can fit in the bowling centre. My concern was how many games would we get to play? A bowling alley with 20 lanes would mean that that would be 6 or 7 students to a lane! We would have to spend time waiting for our turn. However when we reached our destination, E-hub at Downtown East, I soon found out that the bowling alley had a massive 32 lanes! So we were glad that it was either 3 or 4 people sharing a lane.

I enjoyed myself very much and was rather sad to leave the place after playing 2 games. However, having EOTA is a bonus to me and going for bowling is a bigger bonus so I am not complaining!

All in all, I had a fantastic time there. Looking forward to future EOTAs!

LONG LIVE EOTA!

Reflection on E-learning

Oh no, it’s E-learning again! From previous experiences, I know that this is not something to jump for joy. I can still remember how I felt after last year’s one week of E-learning: EXHAUSTED! It was certainly tough. Assignments after assignments piled up, and though lessons were supposed to end at 2.00 p.m, I often worked till 4 or even 5 p.m. And I was staring at the computer screen all the while!

However, it was much better this time. Firstly, there were only two days of E-learning. Next, though the assignments required a lot of research, once you find the relevant materials on the internet, the assignment can be completed easily. Also, the teachers posted our assignments a day earlier. That way, we had some idea what was expected and planned our tasks accordingly. The deadlines for the assignments were more reasonable, I felt.

In conclusion, this term’s E-learning was a more pleasant experience than that of last year. However, I would still prefer to go to school!

E-learning Term 1 - Task 2 (Intrapersonal)

[Jem’s diary]

What a long day it was at the trial! Atticus was so cool and polite to everyone today. What a gentleman. Mark my words, Jeremy Atticus Finch is gonna’ to be like his father!

Anyway, I know Atticus is gonna’ win. There is no way he ain’t. Mayella’s caught in his trap and so is Bob. There’s no way they are gonna’ escape this. So clever of Atticus to build up a “family background” through some questions deemed by Old Gilmer as “irrelevant ‘n’ immaterial”. Bad Old Gilmer, calling Atticus “Big Bad Mr. Finch”!

Scout and Dill were a little nuisance today. Dill was crying as Gilmer had treated Tom badly, calling him “boy”. I also discovered something new later on: Dolphus Raymond only drank Coca-Cola! Scout told me about this through her meeting with him.

I keep thinking that we had won. But are the other folks so pessimistic? Atticus said shortly that he has no idea whether we had won or not and Reverend Sykes was saying that he ain’t ever seen any jury decide in favour of why a coloured man over a white man. They must be crazy!

However, they were right in the end. Atticus passed and we lost. When we reached home, Atticus seemed tired and this was the first time I heard Aunty said the word “brother” to Atticus. I think she must have felt right sorry about what had happened.

Anyway, we had lost. What more do I have to say? It’s getting late now. I might as well go to sleep……

E Learning Term 1 - Task 1 (Musical)

Life in Maycomb

Maycomb is courageous.
Maycomb is full of justice.
The best place for all colours!
Is this really true?

No, Maycomb is corrupted.
Maycomb is full of prejudice.
The place not to be trusted!
Which is the real Maycomb?

Gilmer, Ewell and Gates,
Filling the streets with prejudice.
But Atticus, Taylor and Tate,
Upholding justice is their forte!

Crawford, Lula and Merriweather,
Life is not getting better.
But Raymond, Link and Maudie,
Will lend a helping hand, you’ll see!

Life in Maycomb is tough.
Prejudice, corruption is rough!
But with a handful of lawful men,
May justice continue to reign!

Reflection on Multiple Intelligence test

I think that the Multiple Intelligence test questions were easy to understand and it was rather fun answering them. But I had some difficulty in answering some of them as the answer is not straightforward and it depends on the situation. Still I think the test is somewhat accurate as it indicated that I am not really “people smart” and “number smart”. I tend to be more intrapersonal and slightly musically inclined.

A test like this may help to classify people by their general personality and learning style. But if you want to find out about a person’s strength and weakness, you may need an interview and more important time in getting to know the person.
