Surfing

Surfing is hard to do and it takes years of practice to master it. Surfing is likely invented in Hawaii in ancient times. They use much longer boards that the boars used today. It was a very important part of ancient Hawaiian culture and even chiefs have to be good surfers. Outsiders first learned about surfing in 1778, after the British explorer Captain James Cook arrived in Hawaii with his ships but unfortunately angry Hawaiians killed Captain Cook when he tried to kidnap their chief and from then on surfing was brought to the world.

Songs I Totally Like

My favourite songs I listen to are from Rihanna, Avril Lavinge, Linkin Park, Alvin and The Chipmunks and especially, Gundam SEED Destiny. It is actually quite unbelieveable that I like songs from Japanese animes and maybe some of you may or may not have heard songs from this anime. I liked these types of songs as it is actually nice to listen to them even though I do not understand the language they are singing. I also listen to songs from movies like Step Up 2 The Streets.

Look at what these Lunatics are building

A group of people were hard at work at the Bedok Reservior and they are the Lunatics, who like nightmarish work. They are preparing for the closing act of the Singapore Arts Festival titled "Hydro Sapiens"which is a fifty-minute performance based on a love story. This performance is described as a "water fantasy". I feel that the stage will look great once it is completed and ready to show the public the performance and wished it would become a success.

My Reasons for Becoming A Scientist

The first thing why I wanted to be a scientist is that science is quite a fascinating subject to me and it has quite a lot of meaning to me. There are so many branches of science in the world and my key interests is in astronomy and chemistry. Well, I am always being told that it is crazy and impossible but I know that I can become one someday despite everyone's irritating words and their alternative ideas for me.

Reading Reflection 2

I have readthis book called "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" and it is one of my past favourites. This book is about a boy named Charlie Bucket who bought a chocolate bar and found a ticket to a chocolate factory. When he got there, he found out the wonders of the factory and some unlucky things happened to the other kids. This book is really a good book to read when you are bored.

My Obsession With Computer Games

I am someone who loves to play computer games almost like everyday that I totally forgot of what is going on around me. Well, I usually play this strategy game called "Conquest Frontier Wars". This game is about three races of people who had an inter-galactic war among each other. The three races are named, Terran,Mantis and Celareon races. Each race had different technologies and had different dependencies, ore, gas and crew. Anyway, no one can ever stop me from playing computer games and I just want to play more of them.

Reading Reflection

There is this book that I read recently which has the title "Horrible Science- Shocking Electricity''. This book shows all the horrible but true facts about electricity. There was one part of the book whereby a person got zapped by lightning in order to find out more about it? Anyway, this book made me laugh out loud as the gruesome experiments were totally having funny results.I would recommend this book as this book has a lot of things about electricity to talk about
