“Ouch! It hurts!”Tim exclaimed. It was just a red ant bite but Tim kicked up a big fuss. We were at the Amazon rainforest with our bosom friends. We did not go to the rainforest before so we decided to go to the Amazon rainforest for a trekking trip.

I imagined dappled sunlight dotting the cool forest floor and melodic birdsong to keep me company as we walked unhurriedly along the tracks. We took some insect that is different from others and put it in a container as a specimen to find out more about it. We went deeper and deeper. The path was also getting smaller and smaller.

As we walk through the rainforest, there was only a little light. Soon, we were engulfed by huge trees and some of the sunlight blocked by the foliage faded into a muted gloom.

A man-made lake gleaming in the sun came to my sight. It was stretching before us like an emerald mirror. There was a motorboat left behind. I was frightened. Fear gripped my heart. My heart began to beat faster every second as frightening thoughts raced through my mind. Is there anyone there? Why would there be a boat?

“Hey guys! Why don’t we go over to get a closer view?” John said in a curious voice. “I think it... is…very...dangerous!” I muttered. Wild thoughts had once again raced through my mind. John went towards the boat. We followed him to ensure that he will be saved. We wanted to find out the different types of creatures along the lake or in it. A mixed feeling of anxiety and curiosity seized us.

John wanted to jump into the lake but we warned him not to as we cannot predict what creature would there be in the water. John turned a deaf ear and jumped into the water to explore the different types of sea animals. We were worried for him.

Out of a sudden, a green and scaly creature was swimming in the lake. Could it be a crocodile or something else? We were shivering in fear. Will John die? Fortunately, John came out of the lake but this could cause him to die. The crocodile saw John and swam towards him. We shouted at John to swim as fast as he could but it was too late.

Without hesitation, Ken jump into the lake as he wanted to sacrifice for John. Ken tried to defend John from being attacked. “Run away! Quick run! I will take care of the place!” Ken shouted. I did not want Ken to die. Tim turned his head away as he did not dare to see what happened. Luckily, John swam back to the shore in the nick of time. Ken was nowhere in sight! Blood had filled the whole lake. Ken may be eaten up by the crocodile.

Sorrow pierced through our heart. I was on the verge of tears as I tried to control them. But a few moments later, I could not control them anymore. Torrents of tears streamed down our cheeks and our body shook as we sobbed uncontrollably.

We escaped immediately to a safe place so incident like that would not be happened again. We thought of a way to go out of the rainforest. We started to collect branches to start a fire.

Fortunately, a helicopter passed by and saw the smoke. They saw us in the rainforest and rescued us. Finally, we could get out of that place! We were all very sad for Ken.

“What had happened was my entire fault. If not because of me, Ken would not die!” John said in a low voice. He regretted his actions and felt very sorry for Ken. He always remembered that Ken was his best friend and a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for others!

Sorry, I did not post on Thursday and Friday.......................

The last day of the motivational camp has come. It was the last time we get to see our coach and we will miss his humour. Every time, we laugh when he say jokes to us. I wish we could laugh in class like what we did in the motivational camp. Humour makes us remember things better than scolding us.

We learnt maths from yy too. I thought the question were very difficult but when he told us what to do, it seems to be very easy to solve the question. When PSLE come, we would panick so we may not be able to solve the question.

When Melvin come, we played many fun games. We played the "memory game". Our group, Guild 11, was the first. We took a long time to finish but we are not the last. About 6 o'clock , Melvin took out a $10 note and keep saying who want it. Allan went up and ask for it so Melvin gave him. It is so easy to take it but we must ake actions.

At last, we went to the hall and our coach teach the parents what he told us.When it is about 9 o'clock, some students went up and say to their parents how much they love them. I was so touched. Some of the students went to say thank you to the teachers and they cried.

Finally, it was time to go home, I was dead tired and about 11, I slept. I wished that we could still have this programme as it was so fun.

Day 2...............................

Today, it was my birthday and my class had sing a song to me. I felt very "Pai seh" as it was my first time. I am also very happy as some of my friends had gave me presents and some of them said kept wishing me happy birthday. MC came to me and wished me happy birthday. She also said something to me and shake my hands. It was so memorable as this is the last year of spending my time in Changkat Primary School.

After that, we entered the AVA room again and sit in our own groups. Melvin told us to copy all the notes and I was like "Huh" as I had already copy all in my own notebook.We learn new things too. He thought us how to revise as sometime our revision might not work.Example Recall, Pair teaching and posters might help us to do better.

At the last few periods, we were shocked as he became very fierce suddenly. He started to scold and shout as us as we had complained too much. WE DO NOT KNOW HOW LUCKY WE ARE. He started to talk about our parents and told us to close our eyes and imagine while he told us what to dream about. Some of them were crying very loudly as we were told to dream about what will happen when our parents leave us. I was shocked as this was my first time seeing others cry and most of the boys cried the loudest. Eventually,I did not even cry and hold back my tears.

Then, Melvin said sorry out of the sudden that he had shouted at us and scolded us. It was so funny.... It was like a composition when the writer twist the emotion of the readers. (Rollar Coster).......

When I step in to the AVA room, I felt very excited about the camp.We were given a lot of things and I felt very "cramp" as there is no space for us to put our things. We was told to tear out the paper on the front page and write examples like our weakness, strength, what we want to learn and so on. "Cheh" is was so boring as I do not have much things to write about.

The coach seems to like acting "cool" with their voices and what they are wearing. The coach tone was extremely funny. She introduced us the next speaker and the man look very fierce and kept starring at people.He was very funny too as he had told us a lot of jokes. He was named "melvin" and I was laughing non-stop as our class have a prefect called Melvin too. I thought they were brothers.

I was laughing the whole time whenever he tell us jokes but I stop laughing when I realise it was not funny anymore.However, humour will make us learn faster. We had a lot of time playing games and our group was fighting about the design of the flag. I ignore them and kept quiet.

The animal that exist or it is a life had inspired me as he uses metaphor to describe. Think about it. A sheep is a animal who exist and the eagle is animal who is a life one. I thought about it and I know that I am half a sheep and an eagle. I like to blame others and follow others, at the same time I would also take 50% responsibility. Very interesting about it...

After learning this metaphor, I would try to take 100% responsibility but Iwould not blame others, complain, follow others and make excuses. I am excited about tommorrow's activity......

Frustrated as I have to type again..........................

Today,Mc was talking about the oral. It was about going to Journey A or Journey B. Express it by writing. When I think about it, I was not even going through either routes. This time round, I would try my best to express it by writing everyday in the blog and try to go through Journey A. WE MUST TAKE BABY STEPS. Actually, sometimes I was unable to do it because of the amount of homework. I was so excited about tommorrow talk as I want to know how "Horrible" will the Process of PSLE be. Does it create a lot of "emotions"? Thinking........

Two ex-student whom Miss Chia had taught them before was invited to talk to us.

Bryan Foo

He is now Sec 3 and he had scored 254 for his PSLE.It was amazing as he was a 6B student and was an average student. If he can score such a high marks, so can I? Anyway, he hates Chinese but I am quite inspired by his presentation.

a)He had taught us about study group.

*Good management is very important.

*Appropriate studying methods

*Only engage in group discussion

*Behave and discipline are the keys

Study group should help us to understand more about the topics.For Science, we could use concept map. Like what he had said, we could take turns and write something on it. We should not waste too much time talking and playing.

b)Studies management

To him, homework must be before revision.Homework can be a revision also as you can treat it like a test.

*Plan your time for your homework.Prevent yourself from wasting time thinking about what to do next.

*Proper revision so that time will not be wasted.

I am shocked that although he hates Chinese, he can score so high.It was unbelievable!Maybe he study hard when PSLE is round the corner.

c)I have learnt a quote from him:
*I have not failed , I have found 10 000 ways that do not work.
This quote had told me that I have not failed for the examination, I found 10 000 ways to fail. This could help us to do better next time as we should not repeat the style of studying again. We know that it will fail us in the exam. One day, we may find the best way to pass it.

d)Tuition
To him,tuition is a waste of money and a waste of time. He said to us that we pay people money just to give us homework and repeat the same topic. Actually, he had a good time management and he is very consistent in his work so he does not need any tuition. To me, I need tuition as I am not consistent and tuition can teach me more about the topic. Example for maths, I need tuition to practice more and do some challenging question to get better marks. Different people have different view and opinion about it.

Jonathan Ng

He is now in JC and had scored 258 for PSLE. It is very hard for me to get such high marks and he was an A student. He get A* for two subject and A for two subject. He is different from Bryan as he likes Chinese. Me too. He had an knowledge in quotation and he uses transformers as a metaphor. I am inspired by his quotes.

In order for us to do better in Chinese or English, we must read more, speak more and write more.
"Do you know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets THE PRICE?"
a)Run in such a WAY as to get the prize.
Run as fast as you can to get the prize. The prize should be your dream and a dream requires determination. Try your best to run towards your dream and dream big for yourself.

b)Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.
Each and everyone who competes in the games must go into very strict training to get the prize and to achieve their dreams. Strict training is about knowing the parts that you want to use so you can be more confident. Use all the strategy that you have learnt. It is like fighting a war in exam and you must put in all your effort to survive. You must practice everyday and training must be regular. Practice makes perfect.

c)Think global act local
Think before you act. Although you must dream big, you should not be too proud after achieving it. Leave no doubts hanging.

d)"Ask and be a fool for a minute, never ask and be a fool forever."
If you have questions to ask just ask, don't keep quiet as you will waste time just listening to what you do not know. This will also waste your time just to revise again and again without learning anything at all. Don't be too proud and thought that you know everything. Ask and you will know what you know and know what you do not know. If you want to ask, ask constructive question but not silly question.

e)The only constant is change
Like I said, do not repeat the same method that you know will not work. Change the way of studying so it will help you to improve and understand the topic better. Example Science, don't read the whole book before the exam at the last minute as it will make you confused, just read those you do not know and draw a concept map to make a summary.

f)No sacrifice, No victory
If you did not sacrifice your time, how can you get good marks. Although you dream big, you did not sacrifice anything, you will not be able to get it. So sacrifice. Don't do nothing about it but put in all your heart and soul.

g)Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly, I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave.
I should not just do anything blindly but try my best.MC was right as we must discipline ourself and not let our desires and temptation control us.

h)I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith
At the end of it, get what you dream and say this to yourself. If you did not get what you dream, try harder as there are still many chances waiting for us.

We should pay attention in class as this will mark the difference in A students and average students. We must also be consistent and regular. Take honourship in all your work as nobody will push you. Your parents will not always be with you. Hard working Vs Studying smart. Think about it and guess which one will win the war.

Reflections on CA1.....I have fared in

English-Not so good (always the lowest of all the others)
Compre-Improve a bit
Compo-Always about 29 to 33 only in exams
Maths-Ok (always the best of all the others subject)
Chinese-Not so good (because of booklet B) or else can get higher than my expectations
Science-Maybe the same for all my subjects

For english(compre), I scored 4.5 last year and it was the lowest of all as it was difficult for me but this year I scored 10.5 so I had already improved. Not happy as it is only CA1 maybe I would not score very high for the next time. Luckily, I am not the lowest in class as I always get 50 something for the paper only.

For english(compo), I get 29 to 31 for last year and i get 31 for this year so I think I should improve more as I still have spaces for improvement.

For mother tongue, I get very bad for my paper in booklet B as I should have score higher but I get very high marks for compo. If my paper get higher marks, I may be getting high A.

For maths, always getting the highest of all other subject, I did not think that my maths is good as I did not get A* this year as I did so for Sa1 and CA2 last year.I think so. I have careless mistake made in my math paper this year.

For science, I wish to get 80 something but I don't think that I would get what I want as I always get 70 something for science.

For the next exam, I will start revising now if I have time to do so as I always have very many homework and I wish to remain in 70's for english and not below that. I will try my best to finish revising before exam and get better marks. I want to get breakthrough! I will aim to get to the top 10 and also beat everyone!
