LEARNING LOG 3

Predictions; they can be very scary at times. For example, Hui Min heard of this woman who was struck by lightning, and then was able to see the future. Woah right? That's not the freaky part. The scary part is that she actually foretold the 9/11 incident! SCARY. Predictions may turn out to be true sometimes but, I feel that it's just coincidence. I mean, seriously. Think about it. Predictions may not always be true. Well, I can prove it, like there was this story by one of the students(I forgot whose it was), that her father's friend predicted that when he drives to Malaysia for his upcoming meeting, he would have an accident or something like that. Turns out, he didn't. The only 'damage' was scratches from rocks hitting the car, which happens VERY often, and nothing else.

Anyway, the lesson was very interesting. I was grouped with Steffi, Jeron and Tarif, and we decided to do Steffi's story for presentation as it was the most interesting, compared to the other two guy's stories(no offence guys! I didn't have one 'cause I never experienced such a thing). It was about Steffi's mother having a dream that the picture for her upcoming oral examination, would be a market. Steffi trusted her mother and she studied pictures of markets. On the day of the examination, it really did turn out to be a picture of a market! You know there's a saying, "Mothers know best." well, Steffi's story sorts of proves it. Her mother did know best. (:

Well, I also remember this one other story that Rachel heard of. It was about this person that went to an old folk's home met a crazy old lady, and that lady told him/her that his/her father would be in an accident. That night, his/her father did not come home. When it was nearing midnight, the family received a call that his/her father was in hospital. The next day, this person went to look for the old lady but, she was gone. FREAKY. Mrs Woo thought that the lady was a ghost. Well, in my opinion, it was just another coincidence. Yeah, coincidences again. And there was this other story which was pretty freaky too. It was about This girl who sat next to a crazy lady who told her that her sister would die that very day. Freaked out, the girl alighted at the next stop. There she saw her sister crossing a traffic light. The girl called out to her sister and when the sister turned, she was knocked down by a car and she died. The girl turned to look at the crazy lady at the bus for the last time and found that she was staring at her. FREAKY!!! O:

Well, the lesson was quite good and the following stories were pretty scary too but, suggestions? I don't have any. I found the lesson great and it was fun to hear the different stories although they were really scary. I think that my group's story was the most mild one. It really wasn't scary. (: Anyway, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's lesson. Literature has been getting really fun! (:

LEARNING LOG 2

Superstitions. Most people believe in either one or two of them. For myself? I don't really believe in any. However, I feel that people believe in superstitions either because they just have ONE weird experience and they make up weird explanations for that or they have nothing better to do so they randomly make things up (no offence to anyone!). I don't really know. But that's my opinion.

Anyway, I found the lesson pretty interesting, just listening to the different superstitions each classmate found. Some were pretty scary, like the one that was like, if you take a photo with three people in it, the center person will die first. S: It kind of freaked me out. I mean, I have taken photos with two other friends and me in the center, but ah well, I don't really care. I mean, how is it that that center person can die first? What if say, A, B and C are taking photos together. A stands in the middle first, then B, then C. How is it possible that either one of them can die first? They ALL stood in the middle, each one at different times. So, I don't really get superstitions. In my opinion, I felt that the lesson was great, but due to time constrain, I guess we couldn't get more examples. ): Bummer.

Then there was the Literature presentation of Macbeth's Three Witches. It was HILARIOUS! I loved every moment of it! (: Especially when Mrs Woo gave her representation of the three witches. At first I thought it was a recording of a kid who was pretending to be a witch! It was AWESOME! (: And then there was Liang Wei, Jasmine and Lionel who tried their best to follow Mrs Woo. Lionel's voice turned out to be lower than Mrs Woo's but Liang Wei's was SUPER HIGH! At first I was so shocked, but it was so funny that I had to laugh out loud. Then there was Phania, Shun Hui and Jia Le's example. They were funny too, especially when they tried to go high but suddenly turned low. (: In my opinion, the lesson was brilliant but I wish there were more examples. It would have been funny to see every one's interpretation of the witches but, i think there is a drama section where everyone has to act out right? (: Oh, I can't wait! (:

LEARNING LOG 1

CINQUAINS.

Cinquains.

Fun, short.

Thinking, describing, writing.

Easy to learn them.

Awesome.

Learning how to write a cinquain was fun. A cinquain consists of five lines. The first line, a one-word title (duh...). The second line, two words that describe the subject. The third line, three action words. The fourth line, a sentence of four words. and the last line, a word that describes the whole subject. One cannot repeat any of the words that have already been used, so I find it quite fun to just think up of many different words I can use in the poem. :)

In my opinion, the lesson was quite interesting but I found it too short. As in, we didn't really do much cinquains for the whole lesson. Other than that, the lesson was pretty good but I wish that we could have played some games just to enjoy ourselves and to get to learn the cinquains in a fun way. If we did something more fun, I feel that it would be a more interesting and exciting lesson. :)

OK, got to stop here and go; I'm going out to have an AWESOME dinner at ASHTON's!
