Band-Creating a void in the mission statement

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop (silence)the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen. This particular spot creates effective void because we do not know what they want students to develop. Also, before, it said that it challenges students, and this could be an extremely difficult task, or wrong. It also states that it provides an exceptional education, but we do not know what kind of education, it could be, as I said before, something bad.

Snapshot of vacation

On Christmas eve, I could barely sleep. Thoughts of tomorrow kept flitting through my mind, like clouds across the sky. Imaginary clouds, but nonetheless clouds. I tried repeating words in my head to blot them out, but the mental clouds returned. It was impossible! I tried listening for the sound of footsteps to indicate that someone was coming to put presents in my stocking. But then I thought of what I would get and the clouds came back!

I was too anxious to sleep. Nothing I tried would work. I was tired, but my own excitability was my downfall. I cursed all excitement! Clouds or no clouds, I would get to sleep! But then, I eventually fell asleep. And you know how I managed it? Why would I tell you?

When I woke up in the morning, I wondered why I was feeling so excited. Why was there this feeling of euphoria, filling my body? But then I remembered. It was Christmas Day! I rushed to my stocking, feeling ecstatic. I opened my stocking, ripped off the wrapping paper, and gasped with pure pleasure!

Reflections on 6th grade (at least half)

The school year is halfway done, and I'm going to write a reflection. A skill I learned was to read carefully and pick out key information, like in reading the story "Fetch!". A challenge I handled was acting in the school play, and remembering my lines. A skill I want to learn(and everyone who knows me knows this) is organizing my work, my locker is not exactly sparkling clean. I demonstrated the core value Kindness by helping a new student find his way to the bus area, and to his bus. A goal I am going to try to achieve is organizing my locker. I will achieve this by doing a "locker check" every month to clean out my locker. Another one of my goals is getting my homework in on time. I will achieve this by making a "homework to be handed in" folder, and put all my completed assignments in it. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Life's Lessons

Life is full of lessons that surprise us at random turns. When I was in 4th grade I learned that too often, life for a lot of people isn't fair. I learned about racism in the 1940's, and poverty in Africa. It hit me hard. Before that, I didn't know a thing about poverty, racism, and things that just aren't fair. And the worst thing I learned about, was that these all happened for no good reason.

rugby try

Last week I scored a try (like a touchdown) in rugby. I was surprised when I got the ball but I just ran and scored. I still can't believe it.

Malay food music video

Last night, I watched a music video called I'm a Freak. It was about a someone who loved Malaysian food, and he was in a Malaysian Muslim restaurant



I thought it was funny because it sounds like a rap song(and it is) but they talk about Malaysian food. I agree with the person who sings, roti canai is delicious!
