Part of Sumatra was burned because of the early and dry season caused by El Nino weather phenomenon.In 2007,there were 1,218 hot spots again caused by El Nino.Kk,now many people must think what is El Nino.El Niño-Southern Oscillation (abbrieviated as ENSO and commonly called simply El Niño), is an intensification of monthly or seasonal fluctuations in the air pressure difference between Tahiti and Darwin. Almost twice as many hot spots have been detected in Sumatra as at the same time last year and the year before. 2,248 hot spots were detected by the satellite on Tuesday, compared to 1,229 hot spots last year and 1,218 in 2007. The last bad haze year for Singapore was in 2006, when the drier weather conditions from a moderate E1 Nino saw an increase in forest clearing activity. That year, the hot stop counted in Sumatra hit 12,014 and our country, Singapore, experienced the worst haze ever in a decade.

Protecting our environment is important. Since the development of science and technology has improved for the past few decades, our environment had been harmed by our doings. Every day the amount of electricity wasted is unbelievable. Now people are more aware of the harming of our environment. That is why Earthlings are willing to participate in activities like Earth Hour, Earth Day and so on and so forth. Though, there are still who still don't care about what is happening around them. They don't change their usual routine to a more energy saving one. Seeing everything we are doing to Mother Earth, I am seriously afraid that my life wouldn't last long. Why can't people think for themselves? If they don't, why can't they spare a thought for others?For example, deforestation. Man has destroyed forests to clear land for building places. They cut down trees or burn them, resulting in a lot of smoke being produced and also haze. Then there's pollution-air, water, land etc. Air is polluted when factories produce smoke with carbon dioxide which leads to the 'greenhouse effect' and contributes to global warming. When there are oil spills or people throw litter into the sea, the water is polluted. Likewise for land pollution, waste is not disposed properly. Back to global warming, it's mainly the reason why the weather's so warm nowadays. The heat has also caused ice in the north and south poles to melt and sea levels to rise. Plus, the ozone layer is getting thinner by the days.

Today's topic is on Racial Harmony Day!!!]
For this year's celebration, because of the H1N1.
we cant celebrate at the hall. But Mr Alan Tan help us to take the video of the performances video
that we had actually plan to watch in the hall.
the first part of the video was about a wedding runway by our teachers.
There were four type of wedding.
Chinese wedding: Mr Ben Choo & Miss Guo(Mdm Chang Chih Wei was the mother. haha)
Malay wedding : Mr Mus & Miss Rahimah
Indian wedding : Mr Ramesh & a indian teacher
Eurasian wedding : Miss Lim and Mr Justin Soh (Mr martin Tan was the one saying are u willing to marry...blah blah blah and so on.)
We know that when the eurasian get marry they kissed.
but our teachers was a flying kiss.(haha, so funny)
I like the chinese wedding the most, I like the tea ceremony because i like the culture very much.
After that, we watched a true story about a Malay couple who came to Singapore with no relative. They did not had any friends except during their work. But, they had a very kind neighbour: Mrs Teo. She watered and took care of their plants and allowed the couple's friend to stay at her place until they come back. Mrs Teo also gave angbaos to them at special occasions. They treated each other as parent and children relationship. And there was this phrase: "An old neighbour is better than a distant relative." I know my neighbour just so-so. They are a indian family. My grandma is like enemy with them cuz they always do or say something bad to my grandma. Their youngest child study in our school too. that's all i have to say.



Bye now.
