Dont 'Supersize' Yourself

Just finished watching the movie called 'Supersize Me'. It is a documentary about a man who ate at Mac's for 30 days. He gained 15 pounds and his cholesterol level went up. His fitness levels all went down. He felt depressed when he could not eat Mac's and found it difficult to breath sometimes. His health was in danger if he did not stop eating Mac's.

When i was watching the movie, i wondered why the Americans can eat so much food. Everything is super big in size. The smallest size of the fries in US is actually the biggest size in other countries. No wonder all the Americans are so BIG.

I 'admire' the man who can eat Mac everyday. For me, I will feel very disgusted and sick if i ate the same thing every day and night. Also, i will not let myself become so fat, it's not very adorable.

In the past, what i heard about the negative effects of Mac's are not related to myself. Because im not a regular eater. But, after watching this movie, i found that the issue has become more personal. It is because the obesity problem is all around us today (1 in 4 of the Americans is obese) , may be one day in future i will get obese too. Therefore, I should be more alert about my health.

I think that people should choose to eat healthy food. We need to stay healthy. As a chinese idiom says,"健康就是财富"(health is wealth)。

CNY celebration was finally end

haha... cny celebration is finally end...im free now!
Actually, i made a lot of mistakes today. I added some words in the celebration and also forgot some words. Luckily, my partner was quick-minded, he was able to react with sudden change. thx to him.(he is a funny guy) ok, i like all my partners this year. They all very nice, unlike my last year's partner(i dont know how to communicate with that guy).
By the way, im wearing light blue 'qi pao' today. It looked weird and funny. I dont understand why my friends say it is nice. Anyway, i found this year's audience is very enthusiastic.(better then last yr) im quite statisfied.
Ya, this afternoon, nicolette and i went to japanese association. Before going there, we went to bugis. We wanted to take newprint, but there was so many people. Then,we decided not to take it. Since her friends were also in bugis, we went to find them. haha, in the same place that as we met her friends, we met dora and my cousin. The world is so small. haha. (we also met olivia and wanying)
o. ya. back to the topic. The Japanese association is super nice lor. There is a lot of comic books. Unfortunatelly, i dont know how to read them as they all written in japanese. The food is delicious too.(quite expensive) I ate very full.

Haha. thats all for today.

This week is terrible

I really wanted to shout out all my unhappiness about this week. I have 4 tests altogether, and well, this is how the week looks like:

Monday: Chemistry Test & CCA (6+pm)
Tuesday:Biolodgy Test & CNY rehearsal(5+pm)
Wednesday: Geography Test & CCA(5+pm)
Thursday: Chinese Test

Do you think i have extra time to study the test?
When i get back home, i will be very exhausted. Erm... ...I have finished 2 tests. They are not very well done. Im prepared to fail. Somemore, tomorrow is geograpy test. Geography is one of my weaker subject. No matter how hard i study, the marks i get are still very low. If possible, i really want to give up on this subject. Why should we study the subject that we don't like? Won't it be unfair to the student who are not talented in some subjects? The school should let us choose the subjects that we want to learn. Also, Im sure that our results will be much better if we study the subject that we prefer. Don't you agree?

If you are too stressed... You can....

How do i feel towards TVXQ

This is my favourite korean band. They are handsome, hardworking, talented, caring, cute, and the most important thing is they are not proud. I have read many articles about the celebrities 耍大牌. Once they gained their popularity, they will become very arrogant. They start looking down on people, they will show no respect to the people. Often, they become rude and self-centred. Despite their good appearance, their character is ‘very差’. Obviously, they will lose their fans and create a bad impression to the people. Their popularity will soon decline and well, they are taken over by some young people.

However, TVXQ is different. Their schedule is very packed everyday. They need to practise their dancing a
nd singing. Sometimes, they also need to act. There are so many things they need to do. But, they did not complain a single thing. Although they are so busy, they did not forget their families and fans. They take care of the gifts that the fans gave to them. They are not like other celebrities whom will throw the gift away. As it is too troublesome to carry it.

Becoming a superstar is their dream.( Actually, each of them is the winner of the singing competition and dancing competition. ) They did not take anything for granted. This is why i like them.They are the NO.1 band in my heart forever.

TVXQ Rocks!

Is correct pronunciation important?

Well, i think the correct pronounciation is very important. The correct pronounciation links to the correct meaning of the word. Some words may be spelled in the same way, but their meaning is different with different prounciation. For example, the word 'content'. If you stress the word at 'con', it means the things inside. However, if you stress it at 'tent', it means satisfied. What do you think if you are actually wanted to say satisfied, but your prounciation means ' the things inside'? There is an obsolutely misunderstanding between you and your friends.

Won't you be very proud if you can pronounce a word properly? It is true for me. The correct pronounciation also proves that your english standard is very high. It gives you people's respect.And of course, people will not make fun of you.

Anyway, correct pronounciation gives you respect from the people and provides better communication between you and your friends.
