Task 2

Point of View:

point: anger

evidence:" America did not foresee

Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!"

"Now thinking twice?"

Elaboration: The poet is angry that America is using the different Agents in the Vietnam war. He felt that America could not foresee what will happen in the future and did not care about what consequences that using these agents might have. From our knowledge, this indeed led to many dire consequences as the usage of Agent Orange caused many infants to be born with defects and thus up till now, the effects of the war can still be seen. We can also see that the poet feels that America should have thought twice before using Agent Orange as it caused many bad effects. " Now thinking twice?" shows that the poet probably felt that America after seeing the devastating effects of war think twice now if they should have used agent orange.

Point: sadness

evidence:Toll on the innocent and unborn.

Elaboration: The poet feels sad that the use of Agent orange not only affected those involved in the war, but also those innocent and unborn babies. This is because Agent Orange caused many infants to be born with defects and thus affecting them in the war as well. The poet feels sad and rather angry that the Americans did not think about the consequences before using the agent as this also affects themselves, starting a war that will never end. The agent's effects can still be seen today.

Setting/Situation:

Point: Sad

Evidence: Toll on the innocent and unborn,

Generations untold WILL pay

Elaboration:The setting of the poem is rather sad as the tension of the poem is built up by showing how the future generations of Vietnam will suffer the consequences of Agent Orange as well. Generations untold will pay means that although it looks like only the people during the war was affected, however, many other future generations will suffer the consequences. The tension is sad also because it shows how the children of those involved in war also suffer defects upon birth. Although they are innocent and have nothing to do with the war, they are still affected. This builds up a tension in the setting.

Point: Fear

Evidence: All the deceit continues to spread.

Elaboration: The poet is also rather afraid that the hatred in Vietnam will be passed on from generations to generations and that the hatred of america would never end. Deceit means hatred and thus the setting here is that of fear that the hatred of America would continue to spread even after the war is over.

Language/Diction:

The title of this poem is rather ironical. When we think of rainbow, we think of new life, happiness, nature and probably everything good. However, in this poem, rainbow is used to signify death, pain and suffering. In the First stanza, line 2 "Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!" an unusual word, potpourri is used. Potpourri means a mixture of things, and in this case, the different colours. Other than agent orange, there are also different agent colours, like green, pink and purple. These colours are placed side by side because they are the other forms of agents, other than orange, to be contaminated and caused health problems. The line shows that the different agents mixed together causes death and suffering.

Strong words like deceit and nefariously are used in the poem too. This shows that the poet thinks that America is a cruel country that uses terrible and cruel means to win the war, not even thinking of the consequences.

Personal response:

I am disturbed after reading this poem. The poem shows me a different sight to war as they show me th cruel methods that countries adopt just for winning. It shows us how the country does not think about the consequences of using the certain weapon in war. I am also disturbed as I never knew that the effects of war could be carried until today. I thought only those people in the war would suffer the pain, but the poem shows me that this pain and hatred can be carried to many future generations.

Rainbow Death

Task 1 :Based on your understanding of the selected poem, perform extensive web research and write a report detailing the conflict represented in the poem(s) of your choice. Bear in mind that this piece of background information will allow your blog audience to further understand the poem as well as your analysis of the poem in Task 2.

Here is the poem:

Rainbow Death

America did not foresee Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri! Expecting others to pay a high price. Now thinking twice? Toll on the innocent and unborn. Omnipotent and disregarding who will mourn. Reflective about all the illness, birth defects and prematurely dead. All the deceit continues to spread. Nefariously America led astray - Generations untold WILL pay - Execrable effects of agent orange spray! by Hubert Wilson Hubert Wilson was a Vietnam war veteran who served in the USAF security service. He, along with other school grads prepped up at Kelly AFB before waiting to be sent to Vietnam or other places of South-east Asia in 1970. Half of them went yo Da Nang, which the poet thought was very polluted as it was an Agent Orange hotspot. However, when he was sent to Shemya island, he realised that it was even more polluted than Da Nang. And this affected his health greatly. First, he started having headaches and limb pains. Then, his nervous system deteriorated and he had progressive limb pains. This was probably caused by drinking contaminated water during his time on Shemya Island. However, this did not affect his brains( although it did affect his mobility). Thus, he decided to turn to writing. Information: This poem is about a modern day warfare that had caused many suffering to people, soldiers and even just people who came into contact with Agent Orange. Agent Orange is the code name for a herbicide and defoliant contaminated with TCDD and to be used on Vietnam. This caused many people to die and many children to be born with defects. This poem wants to show although war is over, its effects remain up till today. He hopes to show and tell the readers about the devastating effects of war and probably to deter them from starting a war. Many thanks to: http://www.warpoetry.co.uk/2010warpoetry.html#Rainbow

CIP at St. Luke's old folks home

It is founder's day today and our school have prepared a CIP visit to an old folks home at Hougang. The purpose of this CIP visit is to commemerate our founder Tan Kah Kee's great contribution to the society.

When we first arrived there, we started interacting with the elderly. I found many of them rather friendly. After that, we played some ball games with them as a form of exercise. With the elderly being seated in a circle, we tok turns to walk around to pass balls to them and with them passing it back to us. Right after that, we were placed around the elderly and soon started an interesting game of passing the balls around. When the music is playing, the elderly would pass the balls around in a clock-wise direction. And when the music stops, they are not supposed to pass the balls anymore. Those elderly with the balls in their hands would have to perform for us. One of the elderly there was called to sing for us. At first she declined politely with the excuse of not being able to sing well. However, after some 'begging', she finally decided to comply. She DID sing very well!

After this short exercise, many of my classmates started to perform. Kevin Mak was the first to perform with a display of his wushu skills. Being accompanied with music, his performance was enhanced and many of the old folks enjoyed it very much. Following next was the duo guitar performance by Marc and Roy. They even sang to the music! But that is not the only musical performance we have. Our very own violonist, Darryl , went up to perform next. After a few bars of playing, he soon caught the attention of the elderly who were full of praises for him. Last but not least, we have a performance by Kurt. He, being a gymnast, showed off his impressive gymnastic skills. I am sure the elderly enjoyed the backflips and the hand stands he did.

Now, it is time for some hands-on for the elderly---origami folding! We gathered the elderly into various tables and passed them some origami paper. Then, the students would gather at the different tables to teach them how to fold boats, bats and even hearts. Some of the elderly were even better than us, making inflatable balls and cranes! During the course of these activities, some of our classmates went around distributing stickers to the elderly.

Finally, we settled down to a relaxing of Bingo. Each of the elderly were given a piece of laminated sheet with numbers on it. We then went around explaining how to play this game. Once they understood, we commenced the game. The person-in-charge turned the wheel and our friend Kevin Yong shouted out the number in both english and chinese. I am sure that many of the elderly enjoyed this relaxing game.

After this game, we returned back to school, waving goodbye to the elderly. I hope that this act of us can make them feel better.

Care of the elderly:)

One-Dollar Gambler

One-Dollar Gambler

I have one dollar to bet on number 13
One dollar for a loaf of bread
With a piece of ham, sandwiched between two slices of tomato.
One dollar for a hot milk tea
Before work time starts.
One dollar for some paper and ink
And some knowledge for a blind man.
One dollar each morning,
One dollar each night and for each brick I laid.
But, I bet one dollar. The counter closed
The next day number 13 appeared
In the middle of my drowsy eyes
On top of my nose
Or somewhere in between the hollowness
Of my empty hands.
I now have zero dollars to bet
Zero dollars for bread, tea, paper, ink and bricks!
Zero dollars, again, for number 13.

by Phan Thi Nam Mai


Recently, I came across this poem on gambing on the internet. This poem shows how gambling is so addictive such that the persona did not know how to prioritise. He could have used that one-dollar for many things that are beneficial to him such as buying a slice of sandwich to fill his stomach or a cup of warm milk. Instead, he decides to use the one-dollar to gamble, and hopefully, he can win and get a fortune. This further shows how addictive gambling is such that one addicted to it can forget all about the basic neccesities one needs and instead spend the money on gambling.

This led me to think if the setting up of the gambling den is such a good idea after all. The main purpose of setting up the gambling den in Singapore is to boost tourism in Singapore as well as to provide more jobs for those who have been retrenched during the economic downturn. However, despite all these advantages, there is a risk of our Singaporean to being addicted to gambling. This would cause many families to be destroyed as the gambler would be so addicted that he would gamble the family's savings away. More importantly, this would give rise to more people who have no money to turn to loan sharks. This would cause a rise of loan sharks which the government do not wat to happen.

However, looking from another point of view, all of these addiction can be prevented if everyone had some self-constrain. It is okay to gamble, but when one realises he has already crossed the line to the extent that he is harming his family, he should stop. It would be okay to gamble if one can prioritise. Basic neccessities should always come first before gambling.

The Arrival

Recently, I read a graphic novel titled " The Arrival". This book is extremely interesting as it is a graphic novel. Now, Let me try to explain the story. This story is separated into 5 parts.

Part 1: A man, whom I presume is the protagonist of the story, has woken up and is packing his luggage. He is about to leave his family. His family has breakfast and the man sets off on his journey. The picture then zooms out to see many monsters in his town. He then boards the train, leaving his wife and daughter crying.

Part 2: The man eats something and looks out of the window. The picture zooms out and and we realise that the man is actually on a ship.We then see many different kinds of cloud which means alot of time has pass. The picture also shows many people have also boarded the ship to escape from that town.Soon, they arrive at the city. They see many strange creatures and buidings there. However, it seemed much more peaceful than their town.The people then alight and queue up to enter the new city. The custom officers there checked his eyes, his mouth, his ears, his heartbeat before allowing him to enter. We then see the man looking out of another window and the picture zoom out to see that he was in a kind of machine that would fly him of to another place. We also see that many other people are flying there too. He alights and reaches a whole new place.He sees many wierd creatures and food and characters. He is lost. he suddenly finds some directions on the floor and he looked at his book. There are many symbols on it. A man comes and asked him a few questions. He drew a bed on his book and asked the man to bring him there. He reached the place and he payed some money for a nights stay.He experiments with the things there and found a strange creature lying on his bed. Another window is seen and we can see that many people are living in that place as well. Lastly, the picture zooms out and we can see how big the city is.

Part 3: This part starts off with the man waking up and seeing that creature on his bed again. He seemed very scared. He then washes up and sets off to find directons for something. He wanted to take another form of transport somewhere else.He meets a girl and asks her how to get a ticket on board the machine.The helpful girl then helped him obtain a ticket and they board the machine. They sit together and the girl starts talking about why she arrived on this island. The girl was captured by a man who took her book, locked it up and forced her to do work for him. She worked day and night wothout any rest with other girls. Every night, she was locked up in a room. Once, she found a spade and pried the door open. She then took back her book and escaped on a train to the island. They have arrived and the girl bid the protagonist farewell. The man looked around for something to eat. He drew a loaf of bread on his book and showed it to the shopkeeper. However, he did not ubderstand and brought him several other food instead. He and his son even let the protagonist try some of it. The son even offered to bring the man back home.On the boat, the man saw a tail similar to the tail of the creature attacking his town. However, it turned out to be the young boy's pet. The shopkeeper than explained why they came to this island. It appeared back in their town. giants have been using machines to suck up their people.The father and son were lucky enough to find a place to hide and only came up when the giants were gone. Another man found them and gave them directions to escape. The man and son found a boat there and they sailed all the way to this island. When they reached to shopkeeper's house, his wife took the ingredients and prepared food for them.The family then played an instrument each after the meal. The protagonist instead taught the young boy how to make origami. The shopkeeper's family then gave a pot to the protagonist as a gift.

Part 4: The protagonist wakes up and prepares breakfast for himself and his pet. He then goes around finding a job but to no avail. Then, he sees a man putting up posters and offers to help him.However, in the end, he realises he have put it up the wrong way. Next, he does a post job. And later, a job of making ceramic. He sees an old man and the man tells him why he came to this island.When he was young, he went to war but they did not win and his wife was killed. Feeling sad, he came to this island.

Part 5: The man writes a letter to his family.After many months, his family returns a letter informing him that they would be going over to that island.The man was very happy and the family reunited and they lived happily ever after.

Follow up on Japan's ban on blue-fin tuna

It is a wonderfully good news that the ban on the blue-fin tuna was not implemented on Japan. The proposal for the ban, put forward by Monaco and supported by the United States and the European Union, was crushed by 68 votes against with 20 in favour and 30 abstentions at the meeting on Thursday.

This is very good as I really like eating Japan's sushi. YAY!!!!!!!!!



from sraits times

CITES

In a recent article from The Straits Times, I have noticed a section telling us what CITES is and how it works. I found it rather interesting and wanted to share it with you. CITES is an acronym for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species of wild fauna and flora. It was signed in 1973 by 80 countries. The species of animals under CITES is split into three parts, according to the degree of protection they require.

Appendix 1: This level of protection is the most strict and of highest level. It includes animal species which are threatened with extinction, and thus bans are implemented to prevent them from being killed. Some of the animals under this appendix include tigers, great apes and many different plants.

Appendix 2: This appendix includes creatures that are not faceing with extinction, but rather in which trade must be controlled to prevent further dwindling in their species. Some animals under this category include whales, corcodiles and sharks.

Appendix 3: It contains about 300 different species. It requires" international cooperation" to control the sales and trades.

Along with this small section on CITES, I have noticed a larger section of article on how Japan plans to fight for its intake of blue-fin tuna as its numbers are reducing greatly. CITES are now deciding if they should impose a ban on consumption of blue-fin . However, since the Japanese enjoy eating and are proud of their sashimi, it would not be easy for them to impose the ban.

Geography field trip

Geography Field Trip to Changi Airport:

On the fifteen of March, our Geography teacher brought us to changi airport to learn more about the

work of a meteorologist. After some talk and discussion between the person-in-charge and him, we were on our way to the MET office to observe how they work. We split our roles among our group members before setting off.

The trip inside the office started off with a briefing about what MET is all about. We learnt that MET is responsible for monitoring the weather conditions in Singapore, to monitor the haze in Singapore and also to record and document the climate change in Singapore. Through a powerpoint presentation, we also learnt tha processes taken by the MET to collect data about the climate. The first step is data collection. This is done by various satellites to capture the pictures of the earth to check to weather. Next, the data is processed and analysed in computers by the staff working in MET. Lastly, it is delivered to different areas like tourism and recreation, agriculture, transport,etc as these weather may affect them. We also learnt about another place called the Upper Air Observatory (UAO). At this place, balloons carrying machines to collect the data are released into the sky. These observation data are used for charting, forecasting, climatological data collection and research. When the balloons reach a certain height, it would burst and no more data would be collected. Then, the observers would know to take the previous reading. The process is carried out twice everyday, 0730 and 1800. Next, I was introduced to another instrument which I had never seen before --- the weather radar. It is a very large intrument that stands above ground with legs. On the top, there is a sphereical object. After some answering from the forecaster, I was amazed that the spherical object actually had a diameter of 8 meters! The presenter than showed us an amazing video. It was a video on a very big storm that happened in 2001. This is a very rare storm that only happens once in every 100-400 years! The storm was travelling from the sea towards Singapore. The storm behaved like a typhoon as it had an eye. However, once it reached shore, the storm started to die down. After a Q&A session with the forecaster, we realised that the storm needed alot of moisture for it ti sustain. Therefore, when it reached shore, it lost much of its moisture and started to die down. Lastly, the presenter also showed us a video on how we should prevent being electrocuted during a thunderstorm.

After the presentation, the person-in-charge brought us around to see the various equipments used by them to collect data. Firstly, we saw a barograph which records pressure. Next, we saw a rain guage. It was very advanced and unlike those we see in school. I even saw a sunshine recorder for the first time. It looked like a really large marble with a piece of paper under it. Moving on, we saw many different graphs for many different things, like a telphi graph and a regional wave model. Lastly, we held an Q&A session with the forecaster, with him answering all queries we had.

What I have learnt:

From this field trip, I have learnt much more about insruments that collect weather data as well as more of what MET does for Singapore. Not only that, I have learnt various life skills like how to prevent myself from being electrocuted in a thunder storm. When the sky turns grey, it is best to hurry or find shelter as a thunder storm is approaching. When it starts to pour, do not seek shelter under a tall, isolated tree as you may ge shocked too. Instead, find shelter under small clumps of trees. Also, stop swimming or carry out any activities during a thunderstorm. Do not use any electrical appliances as well, especially telephones with cords. When your hairs stand up, a lightning might be about to hit you. Immediately crouch down on the balls of your feet and try to make yourself as small as possible, like curling into a ball or something.

Interpersonal

Question: What do you think about discrimination and prejudice?

Answer: I feel that discrimination and prejudice is something we should never do. All people are born equal and no one is more superior than the other. Everyone should have the belief that all people are born equal and thus should not be prejudice against someone.

Q: So what do you think will be the consequence of prejudice?

A: Prejudice will only bring about unhappiness in the country. Those people being discriminated will first maybe just ignore it, but later, when they are refused rights, anger will built up and riots will occur. If things are serious, many lives will be claimed as well. Prejudice and discrimination brings us nothing but harm, so we should not support it.

Q: Have you ever encountered discrimination in your daily live?

A: I have not and I would not want to encounter it.

Naturalist

What is a mockingbird?

Mockingbirds are known for their ability to mimic the songs of other songbirds. Each of the imitations are repeated a few times before a new one is initiated. A given bird may have 30, 40 or even 200 songs in its repertoire, including other bird songs, insect and amphibian sounds, and even the occasional mechanical noise. Cool eh?

Another interesting fact about these birds is that they prefer spending their time observing how the world passes by and copying songs rather than finding food or hunting.

Habitats of a mockingbird:

Mockingbirds like living in the open like in parks and dislike living in dense areas like in forests. Mockingbirds enjoy feeding on fruits like grapes, blackberries and figs. In addition to that, it also feeds on pests like weevils and cucumber beetles.

Maycomb:
Based on the above habitats of the mockingbird, I can conclude that Maycomb has very little buildings and structures like trees as the mockingbirds prefer to live in open spaces. Also, I think that there are many fruit crops growing in maycomb. This is because mockingbirds feed on fruits and they would not choose to live in maycomb if there were no food for them to feed on.

Multiple intelligence

The multiple intelligence test showed that my highest scores are logical and interpersonal with naturalist following closely behind.

I believe that the test is rather accurate as I really enjoy doing math and logical questions. Mathematics being one of my favourite subjects in school, I like solving math questions as it gives me a sense of sastifaction whenever I manage to solve a really difficult math question which requires much thinking and processing. I am also amazed at how math is closely related to our lives like in speed, and many other things. It is also closely related to science as well, requiring many calculations and measurements.

Having the same score in interpersonal skills as well, I enjoy working in teams rather that doing things alone. I feel that doing things in a team has an edge against doing things alone as in a team, you can split jobs evenly among your team mates. This means that everyone has less things on their hands and can do their tasks more efficiently. Also, in a team, we can share our ideas with one another, and coming up woth the best one to work on.

Public-speaking

This is one of the things which many are afraid of, and that is public-speaking. This section is one that would really show how confident a person is, and how his English skills is. Despite it being one of the most hated section, I feel that it is a very important to learn as we will be using it frequently of the rest of our lifes, be it in little things like persuading juniors to come to Hwachong Institution or major things like presenting a proposal in a company or even in Project's Day Competition.

We have to learn many different skills for us to look confident during public speaking:

1) We have to mantain a consistent eye-contact with our audience. A person seen standing on stage, merely reading out from his script would appear not confident. This would make his speech very unpersuasive and it would be very unappealing to the audience.

2) We would have to maintain a good posture and speak loud and clear. Can you imagine a person slouching reading softly and timidly to the public? That would be really hilarious as the person would seem to be making a fool of himself on stage.

3) It would be good to use hand gestures during the sppech presentation as this would give your important points emphasis. Also, hand gestures would make you appear very confident.

Although I am not a good public speaker myself, I believe that if we follow the above few points, we would be able to give a good and persuasive speech.

Valentine's Day

There are many stories of how Valentine's Day started, however, I shall tell you one of them. In ancient Rome, there was a man named Valentine. He was a priest. During his time, Rome was ruled by an Emperor named Claudius. Many people disliked him, including Valentine.

Claudius wanted a very big army and expected people to volunteer to join the army. However, many men did not want to leave their wives and children and thus very little people volunteered to join. This made Claudius very angry. He was so angry that he passed down a rule that no one else is allowed to get married. He thought that if the men did not have wives and children, they would not mind joining the army.

Many people including Valentine thought that the rule was ridiculous, but they did not have a choice. Therefore, Valentine decided not to follow the law and performed marriage ceremonies secretly. Once, when the ceremony was taking place, they heard footsteps of the patrolling soldiers. The couple managed to get away in time, but Valentine was caught and put on death sentence.

In his cell, however, he tried to keep his spirits up. Many young people threw notes into his cell to thank him for holding the marriage ceremonies and that they, too, believed in love. One of these young people was the prison guard's daughter. Her father allowed her to visit him in the cell and they would often chat for hours. She agreed that he did the right thing of ignoring the rules and holding the ceremonies. On the day that he was to die. February 14, 269 A.D., he wrote a note to her, thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. He signed it, "Love from your Valentine."

This has thus became a custom where young couples would write love notes to each other

School

I had a terrible day at school. Partly because I was totally exhausted by the making of the chinese lantern the day before and thus I could not focus in school, especially in Geography. Also, I am really stressed out when teachers say" You guys are way behind time and the tests are in 2 weeks time". Oh no. What if we can't finish the syllabus on time? What if I fail this test? Ok, now that I am writing this post, I feel like I am turning into...AhemJoe.

Geography is probably one of my weakest subject and our Geography teacher actually did not come last week! So, I find it rather difficult to cram the information into my brain. Just need to find a way to remember everything. Sigh

Strange vehicles

I have found many strange vehicles from this folowwing website: http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/strange_vehicles/strange_vehicles.html
planetagadget.com

The first vehicle I am going to introduce is the WaterCar Python. This car is capable of travelling at very high speeds on both land and water. Having a Dominator Jet Drive propulsion unit, it can move up to a speed of 60 mph on water. This car is actually on sale but is only built when it is ordered with different interior and exterior designs.
luxurylaunches.com

Looks like a snowmobile? Similar, but no. This Platune sand-X bike is made from a snowmobile but with modifications so that it can be used on sand dunes instead on snow. Modifications include skis which have been replaced with wheels and a radiator which sits out at the front of the vehicle.

segway.com

The segway P.U.M.A is a prototype revealed in April 2009. The P.U.M.A takes up less space, uses less energy and is produced more efficiently by using less parts. Its aim is to allow people to travel more quickly, safely, quietly and cleanly - and at a lower cost.

Japan's Shinkansen ( bullet train)

martinjapan.blogspot.com

This is Japan's fastest high-speed train and it connects most of the major cities in Kyushu. Ever since it has opened in the year 1964, it has extended to Tokyo as well. When it first opened, the Shinkansen can already travel up to 2ookm/h but nowadays, it can travel up to 300km/h!What is even more amazing about this is that you would not even feel like the train is travelling so fast when you are in it. Also, for the comfort of the commuters, they provide food on them, and even a person catering drinks in a trolley, moving from carriage to carriage.

Below are a few types of shinkansens in Tokaido/Sanyo :

1. Nozomi: These trains are the fastest trains as they only stop at major stations. It travels between Osaka and Tokyo in approximately two and a half hours!
www.traveladdicts.connectfree.co.uk
the Nozomi train
2. Hikari: These are the second fastest trains, stopping at only a few more stops than the Nozomi. It takes approximately 3 hours to travel between Osaka and Tokyo

3.Kodama: These trains are the slowest of all as it stops at every single station.


I have been on some of these Shinkansens on my previous Japan trips. The train is really comfortable and I dare say some are even better than a aeroplanes. There are really nice seats and their services are great too, the conductors always with a smile on their faces. Not only that, when you get onto the train, you would even be greeted by the staffs on the train. From my point of view, the Shinkansen is even better than a plane. It has spacious seats, friendly staff and even a toilet nicer and bigger than the plane's.

First week, first post

The first week of school have finally passed. It was not so bad actually, being able to see my friends again. As a matter of fact, I prefer the schools hectic and packed but organised lifestyle more than the holidays. During the holidays, I would tend to think that I have alot of time left before school starts and thus slack. And at the end of the day as I try to recall what I have done today, I realise that another day of my life had just been wasted. Therefore, as school starts, I will try to make the best of everyday.

Alright, back to the main topic. This blog shall contain episodes of my daily life as well as various informations on...vehicles. Yeah, since I could not think of anything else, I shall be writing on vehicles like cars, trains, planes from around the world.
