I feel that the test is very useful, determining my learning style can help me alot, i wish that all homework out be divided into one's learning style. For me i prefer Kinesthetic and Intrapersonal. If i were to do Naturalistic task, i could have spend alot more time to do a piece of homework. If lessons were to also be divided up like this, it would be alot easier. I prefer watching things to listening, for example i learn basketball moves fast while watching someone do it and analyzing it rather than just being told how to do it. When i think of things, a picture would come. I also think that the test might not be as detailed as others, although it is more detailed than other test i have done in primary school, i would rather do something that is even more detailed as for some of the questions, there isnt a choice for me and some of the questions seems inaccurate and has not much like to my learning style

Journal According to The Investigators

Point of view of The Investigators:
There is nothing out of the ordinary in this house, our fellow officer Patrick died in the house, his wife seems awfully depressed.
From the looks of it, i think that Patirck has die due to a hit to his head. I think that the murder weapon is somewhat the size of a sewage pipe, probably very strong aswell.
(After looking around in the house for the weapon and evidence)
No murder weapon found so far, it seems that Mrs Maloney is cooking a lamb leg. Seems like the leg has been there for quite a long time. According to our experienced investigator, Patrick has been dead for 5 hours.
Unusual. No blood stains have been found, how can this be? it seems that internal bleeding caused his death, this shatters my hypothesis that the murder weapon was a sewage pipe. now it seems to be something softer but still quite stiff.
(After some time)
Mrs Maloney offered us the lamb leg she cooked. Said no but we cannot resist it, im extremely tired. So all officers decided to eat the lamb leg. Strange, Mrs Maloney giggled. How can she giggle when she is so sad.
(After eating)
Questioning Mary. She said that she was at the grocers, then went home to find Patrick lying on the floor. (its later now, probably the grocer has gone home, i will find him tomorrow)
Mary asked me if i could take the garbage out, i agreed. Looking into the garbage can, i can see the lamb leg. Wait! there is a fracture on the shin of the lamb leg. form what i know, lamb leg can withstand alot of weight. If it fractures it means that the was a huge impact. Patrick died from a hit, the lamb shin bomb is hard yet the meat is soft! Mary is a prime suspect!
(The next day)
I went to the grocers, he showed me the receipt, time was almost half hour after Patrick's death! Mary must be the murderer! Now i have to convince the others.

the cross country run was amazing, first of all there was the distance. i never thought that i could run such a distance to say the least. then our class did fairly well in the race, being second in the secondary 1 cohort.
During the run, i started out at the back of the group. at the slope up the clocktower, the mass runners were already overtaking some of us, so that was the force behind me that spurred me on. when i reached the downhill slope, i was a gap in between the runners so i squeezed myself in it and ran full speed down the slope. at that point i had already overtaken 5 runners. the way up IS was 'treacherous' and by the top of the circle, i was ready to collapse. then one of the runners came to my needs! he offered me some water and i drank it in in one gulp, poured the rest on myself to cool myself down.
When it was downhill again, i ran like a bull out of control, i passed about 10 people or so. At bukit timah road, many runners were already worn out but i was not. i continued running, overtaking about 20 runners, truely amazing.
the last part was a sprint and i hold my breathe but eventually lose to my friend Andrew, who was a good runner.
Knowing that i got in the top 15, i could not hold myself anymore, i was very proud of my achievement.
That day was one of the most amazing days i ever had

What do you thing?

B.B. is a boy or a girl?

To me i think that BB would likely be a girl. Her friends mentioned in the passage are mostly girls. Furthermore, she is quite emotional. She did not sleep for the night after hearing the message that her father had left for her. She kept thinking about it. When she asked Seth about why his family divorced, he seemed rather angry, which a guy should normally act.

Also i think that BB is a girl because when little Timmy died, BB's mother wanted another children. I think that her mother wanted a healthy son so that they can pass down their family name. Much like the Chinese tradition. BB's father was not pleased to have another child as he didn't want to go through the hell of another sick child. It had a huge impact on him so it might have changed his point of view.

Comparing this to the taximen story in Little Ironies, one major difference is that the writer of BB

did not identify the identity of BB while Catherine Lim wrote that the writer was a male as

he had to make money for his wife and children.

Both writer wrote that the main character of the story, in this case it is BB and the taximen's

daughter, have improper friends around them. BB had friends that smoked.The daughter had

bad friends that got her into being bad.

This is all that i can conclude about the two stories

Similarities & differences between Lamb to the Slaughter and The Way Up To Heaven:
Both stories take place between couples, the female character love their husbands while the male characters show little or no love for their partners. The female characters did’t seem to care much about how their husband loved them. No matter how their husband treats them, they will still love their husband. Both women ‘ initiated’ the murder. Both women loved their husband dearly put at the conflict of the story, they changed totally and no longer loved their husband, which is a 180 degree change in their stereotypes.

In LTTS, Patrick shows no love for his wife, Mary. In The Way Up To Heaven, Mr Foster tortures his wife by making her late. Normally Mrs Foster is very obsessed on being on time, her husband forces her to be late intentionally.
Mary kills her husband in one blow, with the lamb leg. Mrs Foster tortures her husband slowly, when her husband is trapped in the life, she just left him there to die. Mary destroyed the evidence that was used to kill Patrick, in this case it was the lamb leg. Mrs Foster did not destroy any evidence as there was no evidence in the first place, her husband suffocated in the lift. In other world Mr Foster died worse than Patrick.
Patrick found a new love and that was the reason of him leaving his wife. Mr Foster just disliked his wife but did not do anything drastic. Patrick was expecting a baby in a few months, whereas Mr Foster’s children were all grown up
Personally i think that Mary Maloney was more ‘ humane’ when killing her husband as the husband died immediately on the spot and did not suffer much. For Mrs Foster i think that she made her husband pay for what he did to her. Slowly torturing her.

The most exciting experience i have had driving something was last year December. Together with my primary school friend, Augustine, we went to Escape Theme Park for the whole day and chalet after that.
I didn't find everything there exciting except for the go kart racing. It was really thrilling too. Smelling the gas coming out of the engine was simply amazing. But the true fun lies in the racing part. Travelling at fast speeds, you can feel your body being pushed into the seat. As you turn, you can feel your body rocking about, you feel like you are going to fall off but then u don't. It really gets your adrenaline pumping.
The most disappointing part was that the track was too short, merely 1km long, 3 laps would probably end in 3 minutes. I hope that they can expand the track so that it would be more enjoyable
I would recommend you all to go there as it would be an unforgettable experience.

Replies to Comments:
Mok: Thanks for your comment, appreciate it but do note that driving my fathers car would be illegal and dangerous. maybe Go-carting experiences?

And i would like to thank everyone for posting. I would definately make my blog better

Jenson Button, born on the 19th January 1980, is a British Formula driver signed by Maclaren Mercedes who is racing in the World Formula 1 Championship.

He first started racing in the 2000 Season, with the Williams Team, then switching to Benetton in 2001, which in 2002 became Renault F1. After two years with the Enstone-based squad, he then switched to BAR in 2003, now knows as Honda for the 2006 season, during which Button won his first Grand Prix in Hungary, on 6 August 2006, after 113 races.

Following the withdrawal of Honda from the sport in December 2008, he was left without a drive for the 2009 season. Then Brawn signed him and Button suddenly found himself in a highly competitive, Mercedes-engined car. He went on to win six of the first seven races of the 2009 season, equalling a record achieved by only two other drivers: Michael Schumacher and Jim Clark. At the Brazilian Grand Prix, he amassed enough points over his rivals to secure the 2009 World Drivers' Championship.q




An amazing fact, I got his signature when he came to Singapore in 2008

*****This has nothing to do with cars!*****

My favourite story would be lamb to the slaughter because i think Roald Dahl is a very clever writer. At first, he described Mary Maloney as a perfect housewife, loving his husband, waiting for him to go out for dinner and drinking whiskey together. But when she heard that her husband was leaving her, she was totally shocked. (i expected her to cry and beg him not to leave but this is not the case) She took out a lamb leg and hit hert husband with it, killing him. (totally different from my hypothesis) after that she didn't even cry, where was the women we knew that loved her husband so much?
From the start, it didn't show that she was very bright but after what happened, our way of seeing her changed. She was a intelligent women, she created an alibi and then told the officers to eat her weapon used to kill her husband(the lamb leg).
Overall, i think that Roald Dahl did this as at a time where the reader seemed bored, he was able to drag the writer back in again.
Boyd Leon Coddington, was the owner of the Boyd Coddington Hot Rod Shop and also a star of American Hot Rod on TLC, is the king of Hot Rods. He build cars that were like no other you would see on the road. There is the 1932 Ford, CadZZilla, and many more. unfortunately he died on February 27 due to long-time diabetic. It was said that he died from complications that were brought on from a recent surgery along with liver and kidney complications. Though he is not alive, we can will still remember him. His show is still airing on Discovery Turbo and there should be a marathon when it is his anniversary.

The CadZZilla was a masterpiece, it was commissioned by ZZtop and designed by Larry Erickson . It is acclaimed as one of the great expressions of automotive customization. In "History of Hot Rods & Customs" the auto editors of Consumer Guide praise it as "the first really new type of custom since the heyday of the 1950s.
