Decisions.
author:FARAH
"Is it wrong or is it right, that is the question??"Decisions, decisions, decisions..
So many decisions to make, but so little time...
You might be wondering what my constance babbling is about.. But before I tell you the whole story, let me say a big
HELLO to you. Okay now, my story goes like this..
15 July 2009,I had
CME lessons. My teacher explain about the projects we are going to do for
CME. There was the personal and group work project. We did the personal project first. The project was about decision making. We have 3 questions to answer:
-What makes an action wrong??
-Are there any exceptions??
-What is integrity to me??
To me, an action is considered wrong when something done, is againts the law and also when someone is treated unfairly because of the action. Though there could be exceptions, but it must only be minor exceptions. An example would be when you are crossing the road using the traffic light. There are no cars in sight. So do you continue to wait for the green man or do you just walk across?? If it were me, I would just walk across because I have made sure that the road is clear before I cross so that it would not pose any harm to me. Lastly, what is integrity to me?? Integrity to me means we have to uphold good morals like being honest. If we are honest, people will not doubt us and will think that we are reliable.
Later on, my teacher gave us a real life example for us to think about. One day, my teacher was in a MRT. It was crowded as it was during the peak hours. There was a parent with 2 girls, they were sitting. One of the girls was in primary school while the other look like she was in kindergarten. Then, an old woman came along. She was looking for a seat but no one wanted to give up theirs. Feeling irritated, she squeezes herself into the little girl's seat, pushing the little girl towards her elder sister seat, leaving her not much space. So, was the action that the old lady had taken right or wrong?? Or was the family at fault??
My answer:
I would have to say that both parties are in the wrong. Let me explain why.. The family in the first place, should have given up their seat to the old lady. The seats in the MRT are after all priority seats. They are meant for old people, pregnant womans and the disabled. The parent of the 2 girls should have at least given up his/her seat.
But I would not say the fault is all theirs. The old lady, was being very unreasonable. She should not have squeeze into the girl's seat. The girl is still young but she should be treated properly like any others. The right thing to do in this kind of situation is just to give up your seat to someone who needs it more. It is after all a very easy thing to do. All in all, I think if someone had been more courteous or considerate an incident like this would not have occured.
Okay, so this is the end of my post ._. Hope you had fun reading it though... Will update when I have another assignment next time. Till we meet again:)

H1N1
author:FARAH
Hey.. Hey..
I'm back :)
YEAH!!
By the way, SORRY for the really really late update.
Two week has past since I last updated. I know it has been quite long. I was actually waiting for something to happen so I can talk about it. But to bad, nothing interesting happen other than we keep on changing timetables and that school ends at
2pm on odd week Mondays and
1pm on every Thursdays. Yipee!!. I might as well tell you why since I'm in the 'updating' mood. The reason is actually quite expected. Yep, the reason is becuse of H1N1. So we have to take extra precautions,
READ: Social Distancing. Well other than not having assembly, we were also ask to sit in single rows in class like during exams and having to take our temperature twice a day. Blah blah blah.. You get what I mean about nothing ever happens..
Ohh.. before I forget the school also made us queue outside the canteen and allowing only a few students to buy their food at a time. That means no more pushing, yeah!! But the process of buying food is quite slow so brought my own food to school.
Other than that, throught out the week in school, teachers constantly reminded us about one main thing, H1N1. It was always about H1N1. Teachers also made the lesson topic about H1N1. It was starting to get a bit dull. We were also constantly reminded to practise good hygiene basically like washing our hands often, covering our mouths when we cough or sneeze and going to the doctor when we feel sick.
Also,when I last listen to the news, the number of H1N1 cases in Singapore have risen to about 1000+ cases. No wonder there were a lot of precautions steps taken.
Well, I have come to the end of my not really long post. Don't worry, I'll be back. So long now.. :D

MY June Holidays.
author:FARAH
Hey there, FARAH here :D
Holidays were boring.
It felt short though, it ended just when I was starting to have fun.
I was bored to tears when the holidays started. The activities only started to happen at the third week of the holidays. By then, I was very busy with homework. I tend to do my homework at the very last minute..opps..
Okay enough about the homework stuffs.. Mainly, during the holidays I had quite a number of outings with family and friends. Did not go overseas because of the H1N1 thing going on..
Let me share with you some of the events that took place. Went out with girl friends on the _ _ of June 2009. [ Forget the date. Heheh. ]
We watched a movie at Westmall. A very disgusting and scary movie called 'DRAG ME TO HELL'.
Almost gave me nightmares. Hahah.
On the 23rd 0f June 2009, there was a class outing. But not many came, 11 0ut of 39 people came . So pathetic but the those who came got to have at East Coast. We went cycling and some of us rollerblade. I rollerbladed but I am not very good, very bad at going fast. Almost fell when I tried to go fast.
Well that is about all I am going to share with you. Wait for my next update, yeahs. Bye bye:)
