第十天 - 大雨天

Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?

Can you solve this PSLE question using only model approach, just like how the kids are taught?

第六天 - 雨天

Me, Neo and Jason met something weird yesterday (or rather, this morning at 4.30am)

We were just walking back to our vehicles when we were stopped by this taxi uncle, who asked us for help. Apparently there was this foreigner who did not want to pay her cab fare, and insisted that she speaks to the taxi driver's boss due to poor service.

We could see how flabbergasted the taxi driver was, and how he wanted to settle this entire saga in a cool manner. But after speaking to the lady (Jason did), it was apparent that she would not budge. The only solution that we 3 could think of was to drive her to the nearest police station, because the taxi driver did not do anything wrong at all. We were quite sure that the lady was actually just trying to do something funny, or that she was drunk. Even after the taxi driver told her to get off the cab and that he would not want her to pay the fare anymore, she still refused.

There was nothing we could do but walk away. The taxi driver apparently didn't want to drive to the police station, because it would mean more trouble and more time wasted. We then stood at our vehicles and watched from afar for about 5 minutes. Finally, the lady came out of the taxi, but somewhat unwillingly. What happened next, we do not understand. The lady seemed to be using her phone to dial someone, and the taxi driver was trying to stop her from doing so, and at the same time not being able to touch her at all for fear that she would use that against him.

But who could she be calling? The police? If she's a foreigner or a tourist, how would she know what number to dial? And moreover, was she really that confident that she would win the case? Everyone's definition of poor service is different, and I do not know what is the definition in the government's view, but I guess it's just totally ridiculous.

Why must she do such a thing to the poor old driver, who is just out to make ends meet? We could really see the face of the taxi driver and pity him that such a thing is happening. Hope that everything is fine for him now.

我觉得我还是用英文比较好 :)

第五天 - 晴天

昨天大伙们给了Ah Ben一个surprise生日派对,大家都玩得不亦乐乎。认识了一些新朋友,更深一呈地认识一些不是很熟的朋友,以及见到了一些老朋友。玩到早上六点才舍得回家。

其实我觉得一个生日派对不需要搞太多花招,只要简简单单地约全部朋友出来聊聊天,吃吃饭,对我来说已经是非常棒的一件事了。可能我很简单,但我宁可人到但没礼物,也不要礼物到但人没到。

今天去了我的姨丈的葬礼,突然觉得生命真的很脆弱。明明非常健康的他,为了赶去医院探望他的岳母,就突然倒下,离开人世间了。我现在开始珍惜每一天,希望到我走的那一天时,我不会带着任何的遗憾。

明天要去social house咯!

第一天 - 阴天

很久没回到我的部落格了。

我的生活里最近发生了很多事,很难一一的把每件事给说出来。但是如果要summarise的话,只有一句话能够形容:似有似无。

有时候觉得自己的生活很充实,很美满。有几个非常要好的朋友,有一份工钱不是很高但是非常喜欢的工作,有一个我非常爱的女生。

但有时候又觉得生活很乏闷。最近和朋友之间有了些误会和纠纷,我爱的女生对我越来越冷淡,钱也越来越少。

人家说不管怎样,做人最重要是要活得开心。但是,我开心吗?我不知道。

昨天晚上梦到了一些不开心的事,所以今天上课时心情有些不好。我可怜那位被我骂了10分钟的小五学生。

希望明天会更好吧。

我祝她生日快乐,希望从今天起她的每一天是开心的。如果是的话,我就开心了。
