Reading Reflection

The Mystery Of The Sydney Slayings

On holidays in Sydney,Alvin Soh and his team of investigators decide to probe into an unsolved murder.Before they know it,they are swept up in an underworld plot to find stolen money and settle old debts.

I like the storyline as it makes the story make mysterious and exciting to read.I also like the way the characters reacted when they knew that the mystery was getting even more tougher and harder to solve..They didn't just gave up,they were determined in succeed in any way or another and that really makes the story more exciting to read.I really learn from the characters never giving up spirit and their perseverance to succeed.Their attitude and the way they reacted when they knew that there was another mystery to solve,just symbolise how interested they are in this mystery.Frankly speaking,this is one of the best mystery books that I have read and I really look forward to more kinds of books like this..

One Quote from the story:Be someone who is modest and poor and with a good attitude than be someone who is rich and proud and a spoilt brat.

I understand that the quote from the story has really thought me something important..I learnt that even if you are from a rich family,if you do not know the meaning of values,your richness and wealth is unuseful and put to waste.

Overseas Trip

Recently, my whole family went on an overseas trip to Bali, Indonesia..It was such a good place to go to for people who love shopping and resorts..The shopping centre provides items of good quality and brand..We stayed at a 5-star hotel named Hard Rock cafe.The hotel was packed with tourists from all around the globe.There was even a mega shopping centre beside our hotel..It was packed with people all day round..On the last day of our 5-day trip,we relaxed at a beach that was overlooking our 80 storey high hotel..Lastly,before heading home,we bought some souvenirs for our relatives back home and even for us,so as to remember the exciting holiday that we had in Bali.
After reaching the airport after our two hours Singapore Airlines flight,we were fetched by our relatives and headed straight back home..
It was really an exciting and memorable trip!

Teen dies in motorcycle crash



SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD John Tan Yong Sheng died in hospital yesterday morning after his collided with a taxi on Sunday afternoon.His female pillion rider remains in hospital with head injuries.

I think this article has really shake the way i think about motorcycles because i was a person who love motorcycles and even dreamt of riding it when i am older.But after reading this article, I know how dangerous riding a motorcycle is and that one mistake could be fatal.However,I don't feel sorry for the teen who died because he was a rebellious soul and went against his parents..He was always advised by his parents about how dangerous riding a motorcycle is..But he turned on a deaf ear..This shows that actions do have consequences and that you would need you parents permission and in order to do something on your own.
Even through the teen has really died and did something that were against his parents,deep down his parents still truly love him as he was their only son and only hope..
I feel that a parent's blessings is the most important because even if you are a safe rider,you can still meet with an accident if you are not blessed by your parents.

June Holidays

Well,it's time for the school holidays again..I love the school holidays as it is the time for us to go for getaways and relax ourselves after all the stress and homework load during school...But, on the other hand,it is also the time to catch up with our studies and do revision...But there is also time to enjoy ourselves..Recently,I went to the Singapore Flyer with my family members..It was a thrilling ride for me as I am seriously afraid of heights..It was my third time going there & I really enjoy observing the view of Singapore & even neighbouring countries such as Malaysia & Indonesia...It was money well spent..But the fun didn't stop there..I when to watch Sex & The City with my cousins at the newly open E@Hub and the show was entertaining but there were also some scenes that were not suitable for me..


While I was there with my cousins,we also took the time to enjoy ourselves at the Escape Theme Park..Lastly,my whole family went for a short getaway to Bali,Indonesia..I was fascinated at how well-designed the hotels were..I also didn't miss the chance to bring home souvenirs that were so well-crafted by the people there..


That is all for my June holidays this year and I really hope for a great month ahead and also in improving on my weaker subjects...

I think that blogging is boring as it doesn't have any benefits..it is also a waste a time because a lot of time have to be spend on it.
I am quite devastated with my sa1 grades because i didn't get the grades that i expected..
I hope by studying harder in term 3,i will get the grades that i targeted..
Well,I hope that the june school holidays will give me a peace of mind after all the times in school..
My family am planning to go someone nearby 4 a short holiday but it hasn't been confirmed yet due to the tight schedule of my parents.....

That's all for now.......
