Personal Reflections For Lessons 1-3

I have learnt to always view things with a different perspective. Let my imaginations and creativity run wild, thinking out of the box. Don't just judge and assume just by looking at the surface of something. During lesson, Mr Wong showed us two scenarios- A woman carrying a baby, begging for money, and a homeless healthy man asking people on the streets for help to get him back on his feet. Mr Wong then asked the whole class- If we were each given $100 and can only give one of them the money, who would we give. Without thinking twice, i knew that i would give the woman with a baby. After collating all our answers, Mr Wong told us the truth of both scenarios- the woman carrying the baby was part of an association. The baby wasn't hers. The baby was just to make everyone pity her and give some money to her. She would then pass the money to the association. As for the man, he was really in need of help. He can't find a job. So maybe by giving him the$100, he can buy some new clothes for a job interview and start a new life. From this I learnt to never judge a book by its cover. Always find out the truth before jumping into conclusions. -Charmaine Soh(4)

Color, Symbol and Image

The color i have selected is blue. For Chinese New Year, everyone one in my family are stressed out out over the preparation for it, like what to eat, what to do on the say itself and what relatives are we visiting.


The symbol is of a horse. Reason being that this is the symbol I am seeing most often, be it from the new year decorations or from the well wishes from relatives and friends.





The image I have chosen is that of drinks. Every Chinese New Year, what leaves me with the deepest impression has always been the food and drinks. From the traditional new year goodies to the meals filled with love made by my families, they are always hard to forget.

Personal Reflection for Lessons 1-3

I have learnt the importance of observation, to gather thoughts and meaning from what seen. Particularly how one needs to look beyond just what is on the meer surface. For me, I still require practice using the 'thought, think, wonder' thinking routine when reflecting and analyzing things, not, be it the meaning to myself or to others. Also, I have realized how communication is just as critical as observation. What use is understanding when we can't communicate our ideas, emotions and experiences when needed to do so? We need to capture the audiences' attention, to be able to organize what said in order for it to be effective. In order to make a persuasive and effective point.

What I've learnt this past few lessons

In the first lesson Mr Wong briefed us on what was going to happen in the CID program this year.
He talked abt the OELP and what were the expectations of us.He also talked to us abt interesting signs in other countries,e.g.the v-sign is offensive in America.In the second lesson,he showed us a picture of a vulture closing in on a scrawny,malnutritioned girl.What struck us was that the photographer actually waited for the vulture to come near the girl and did not get her out of the way so he could capture this perfect shot.He eventually felt so guilty that he eventually killed himself.

Chinese New Year

Green as it signifies harvest and wealth.


This is what I chose to represent CNY this year as this is the year of the horse and red is auspicious to us Chinese.

This is the amount of red packets I receive each year of course all of them contain a 2-dollar note eachis is what I chose to represent CNY this year as this is the year of the horse and red is auspicious
