Weekend Assignment 3

This is Choa Chu Kang park. This is the place where i would visit almost everyweek when i was young. It means alot to me as I always play with my childhood friends there. There was once i remembered where me and my neighbours went to the park and played in the sand play ground. When we were having a whale of a time, I suddenly got knocked down by a bicycle . I remembered the pain was excruciating, and I cried. But thanks to my friends, they supported me and brought me to my parents who were in the cafe nearby. They quickly helped me wash my wound. After that incident, I got myself a scar on my leg. That park left me with an unforgettable memory. When I grew up, I still go there frequently to play soccer with my primary school friends.
As I play soccer there almost every week, my soccer skills improved a lot and now I can play quite well. However, now i have no more time to visit that park anymore. However, when I go jogging around the neighborhood, I will always think of the good times I had in that park.

Comic Strip

Recently, we have been dealing with the topic Discrimination. Thus, I chose the topic discrimination for my comic Strip.
Here is the link :
Part 1 :http://www.toondoo.com/privateView.toon?param=qBt7i9%2FUSMbRNutmdkM9mZQPKXzfi%2FPvjAjE%2FvxkGHgHTm7Q4eul1Q%3D%3D
Part 2 : http://www.toondoo.com/cartoon/2725690

The reason I chose this background as it looks pretty high class and it is also not in a rural area. In this type of places, the black americans are usually treated as second class and always discriminated.This background helps to bring out the main theme discrimination.
As you can see, the black americans in this picture, are dressed in workers uniform and also torn and ragged clothing. While the white american is dressed in a business suit and tie. This also helps to bring out the theme discrimination. We can tell from this scene that the white americans get better jobs and better living standards then the black americans, whose job opportunities are limited to workers and labourors.
It is very obvious that the white man got beaten up by the other black men when he insulted a black man who was moving away to let him through. Even though that man was very polite and agreed to move after being called a nigger, the white man still continues to insult the black man. This led to the other black men at the side to feel furious, leading to a fight. Of course, we should not result to fighting, but we should also not insult others just because they are different.

Weekend Assignment 2

After listening to the song "Where is the love" by black eyed peas, i felt that this song is very meaningful and touching. The main message of this song is about discrimination and the singers wants to stop descrimination and prejudice. The part which I have the strongest feelings is
"But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hate you are bound to get irate. "
What this stanza means is that you should not love only your own race or kind. Becuase if you do that, you will start to discriminate other people around you. And when you start to discriminate others, you will also start to hate them. And when you hate somebody it will only cause you to be irate. The meaning of the word irate is angry or enraged. This is totally true and I agree totally. In conclusion, we should all learn to love and treasure people around us, even though they are abnormal or different from us.

Weekend Assignment

Song Title:Perfect
Band: Hedley

Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise
I just know we can't be over, I can see it in your eyes
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

Making every kind of silence, it takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I wrong

I know that I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/perfect-lyrics-hedley.html ]


When you're caught in a lie and you've got nothing to hide
When you've got nowhere to run and you've got nothing inside
It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me
You thought that you knew

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my, just myself
Just myself, myself, just myself

I'm not perfect, but I keep trying


I feel that this song is very touching and meaningful. The lyrics of this song teaches us many things. This is is dedicated to the singer's wife. His wife might have felt that the singer was too incompetent, imperfect, and does not have a good personality and is on the verge of leaving. The Singer loves his wife alot and does not wish to see her leave. Thus, he wants to apologize to his wife for him being imperfect through this song.He also does not want to give up thus he sings "I won't fall, even if you said I wrong". The singer's perseverance and his faithfulness and his love for his wife really impacted me. This song taught me that I should treasure whatever relationships that i have now. And we should also now judge people if they are not perfect as no one is perfect.
