The extra in the ordinary -Yuxuan

The classroom clock is something that is special to me. It is a simple gadget that we use to tell the exact time of the day. To me, everything is dependent on time. My daily routine goes on according to the clock. It tells me the time to finish my homework, to go to school, and even when to start bathing. One main reason why the classroom clock is so useful to me is because I don't have a watch. And during lesson time, it is always so convinient for me to check the time. All I have to do is to look up, and I will know what is supposed to be done. Even though it might seem as the most ordinary thing that appeared in schools, it is still so special and extraordinary to me as it organized my day.

The aging population-yuxuan

Three things I have found out:

1. Just like China, Singapore has a two child policy. It is a government-imposed limit of two children allowed per family. It aims to control the population growth and achieve their optimum population.

2. China's one child policy was introduced in 1979 to reduce birth rates in China due to the rapid population growth. The government in China encourage couples to only have one child to slow down China's rapid population growth by rewarding the couples who follows the policy and punishing those who don't.

3. People living in rural areas tend to give birth to more children as they depended on their children for support. So the one child policy is more strictly enforced in rural areas compared to the urban areas.

Two perception I have gained:

1. Huge population does not benefit everyone in the country. It is more like majority poor and less educated working for the minority of rich people. Huge population means intense competition among jobs, schools and educations.

2. Every policy has its benefits and disadvantage to the country. 

One question I have:

 Does large population size really contributes to the economy of a country? 

Chingay Parade 2016-Yuxuan

I am very glad to have this opportunity to watch the Chingay 2016. 

My first impression on Chingay is a colorful, passionate, and exciting event. My friends and I screamed and cheered for the performance the whole night.

I think Chingay 2016's purpose matches with its theme," Light of Legacy, Brighter Singapore". It marked the prosperity of Singapore in the first 50 years and the well wishes to Singapore in the next 50 years. In the show, there are boats designed with words like " voyage to SG100" . There are also different races from the community performing their traditional dances to the audience. Hence the Chingay 2016 is wishing on a better, more prosperous and racial harmony SG 100.

The first Chingay is only organized  for the celebration of Chinese New Year. However, i think the change happened because Singapore is a multiracial society , therefore, such an exciting event must envolve all  Singaporean no matter of the races, languages or religion.

In my opinion, I think the organizer have fulfilled their purpose successfully. They invited the young audience like us, students from different races and background, to watch this amazing show. Which educated us, the students, on the importance of racial harmony in Singapore, and deepened our love towards Singapore as our nation. Chingay parade had also brought the whole nation together when the crowds screamed and cheered as one.

Looking beyond the picture -Yuxuan

In my opinion, being rich does not mean happiness of a person. However, a basic financial capacity of a person is very important to keep them away from sadness. 

For example,if  a person is struggling to survive in the underclass society, when he suffers from hunger,  despair, the despise from the rich; he is uneducated,  ignorant and empty minded ; will he be happy? 

I will say no.

In the contrary, does a rich man necessary equals to a happy man? 

Yea, I know,  he has huge possession: large houses, expensive cars, he might also be popular and respected because of his position and his manners. Will he then be a happy man?

My answer is: Yes and no. If a rich man is not contented with what he has, in all those temptations he faced, he might easily loss himself and his real happiness in that process.

In conclusion, the secret of happiness to me is to stay contented with what you have; enjoy all the love and happiness all around that is given to you.

RV60 Reflection-- Yuxuan.

1)The purpose of RV60 is to celebrate our school's 60th birthday. My school had managed to survive all these years and it is now older than Singapore. Rv60 is an important event to all of us, the Rvians.  Through our hard work in preparing,  I learnt to appreciate our school lives and understand the importance of the school better.

2)Some issue about this celebration is that I felt the school mainly want us show. The actual day of the  performance, we, the violinist played with the recorded song, and the only thing we have to do, is to make the correct bowing, as they told us that the sound doesn't matter.

3)Of course, during a National day for instance, Singaporeans will volunteer  to help out in the parade work. Because this is their home country's important Birthday. The birthday represented the success and the growth of Singapore over the past years.

4)I am proud of my school, so as my friends And classmates. We are willing to spend effort to celebrate our schools birthday!

6) When the students views negatively towards their own school, there will be some issue within the school. Because if they can't even make their children to love them and be proud of them, they didn't do a good job.

7)I am proud of being a Rvian because of the people here I love , and the amazing culture of Rv.
