It seems as if I haven't seen the class for so long even though it was just a week's break. Before that I was at the Sec 3 camp, and then I had the ODAC camp which used up Monday to Thursday of the week, and I attended a teacher's discussion on Literature stuff on Friday! That was how I spent my holiday week, isn't that sad?
I do know that all of you were probably quite busy too, and I guess the different subjects all gave some kind of homework for you. Thank you for the work done for the Literature book trailer, I'm so proud of you all for finishing it during the holiday! There was some really good work there, and I really enjoyed watching them. In addition to knowing more about the book, I hope you learned a little about working in groups too, which is an invaluable skill throughout your life.
I am very proud too that so many of the school's rugby team are made up of our class's members! Rugby's a great game and I love to see you all taking time out to enjoy it together. Have great fun and do Pei Hwa proud when the competition comes around!

SINGAPORE NEWS Six SBS double-decker buses burnt at Ang Mo Kio depot By Saifulbahri Ismail, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 07 March 2010 1659 hr
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it dispatched two fire engines and 20 fire fighters to the scene.
The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes.
No casualties were reported and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
A spokesperson from SBS said the loss of the buses will have some impact on its operations.
However, SBS will try to minimise inconvenience to commuters by redeploying buses where possible.
The total cost of the six buses is believed to be about S$3 million as each new double decker bus costs about half a million dollars.

Living up to the class Motto
Don't you think the class motto is great? Ne Plus Ultra - the ultimate, the highest etc etc (thanks to our blogging team for the definition!)
It's something for us to live up to, and to make it happen, we really must be consciously trying to be our best! It's not something that comes naturally without us doing anything, for example.
I hope you guys know that is why there are some things I will nag about. Like the neatness of the rows, the cleaning up of the class room, the proper attitude during reading period et cetera.
I also tried hard to push for and finish the class banner and T-shirt by this term - because it is a symbol of our unity, something that we can be proud of. I want other teachers to know that this class is special when they see the banner and walk under it to enter. We can show our unity by wearing our class t-shirt all together during PE lessons.
Can we all work together and put in the effort to be the best?

An old blog...
Hi all!
Mr Ong here again... Just want to show you guys something interesting - I used to write a blog for my past years' literature students until I stopped last year. Not all of it is about the literature work in school actually; in fact I write about all kinds of stuff I thought about or am interested in. Do take a look here!

Chile's curfew city tense amid aftershocks and looting | |||||
 Concepcion was empty of most people except soldiers during the curfew
 The drive down to Concepcion from Santiago passes through some spectacular countryside. After travelling past the vineyards of the wine-making region the landscape becomes more rugged as you head into Bio-Bio region and Chile's second city. But since this city was rocked by Saturday's earthquake, the normally modern and well-developed roads are now twisted and broken throughout the route. After a journey beset by fallen bridges and long diversions, the final approach into the province of Concepcion came to a frustrating halt just kilometres from the city. The military set up a 16-hour long curfew and were escorting just the most important aid vehicles past the disturbances.
As the young lieutenant explained the situation to a crowd of drivers waiting to enter Concepcion, the ground shook twice in quick succession. The daily aftershocks are still very noticeable here. After some negotiation we're given the piece of paper which grants us access to the quake zone. It is a few kilometres down the road that the scope of this earthquake at last becomes clear. We pass by a destroyed shopping mall and half-a-dozen collapsed buildings on our arrival. Hundreds of soldiers are patrolling the streets and evidence of the recent looting is everywhere. Yet by arriving during a curfew, Concepcion is eerily devoid of cars and almost of people. 'No help' At a destroyed apartment block, where apparently eight bodies have been pulled from the rubble, rescue workers are still searching for survivors using sniffer dogs. They're concerned too about a half-finished apartment block which they say has been structurally damaged and could collapse at any moment. Given the constant earth tremors beneath us, it's a distinct possibility. Then suddenly, the city emerges from its strict curfew.
Thousands of drivers are on the streets trying to reach the nearby town of San Pedro to find clean water and safe shelter. Others, however, can't leave. "We've been defending our homes from the looters," Eduardo Santos tells me, standing outside a badly-cracked apartment block which he and his family are too frightened to sleep in. Instead, they are living in a hastily-erected tent with several other families from the same building. The authorities just walk past us and don't help, he says pointing to some of the troops posted to the city who are dealing with a damaged bridge. Eduardo makes another emergency run into his apartment to get fresh water but refuses to stay there more than a couple of minutes. That has put him in conflict with the troops who want everyone off the streets by nightfall and with the looters who may try again to break into his empty home. News took from BBC News | |||||

Second casino fraud case
Lau, who is out on $5,000 bail, is said to have committed the offence at about 11pm on Feb 16 - two days after the casino opened on Chinese New Year. -- ST PHOTO: WONG KWAI CHOW
THE second person taken to court on Wednesday for a casino-related offence at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) was accused of claiming $630 belonging to another gambler.
Alice Lau Qian Xiu, 46, an assistant accountant, is alleged to have misappropriated a 'cashout ticket' bearing that amount in credit from 32-year-old sales executive Soh Wee Chen. (correct)
Lau, who is out on $5,000 bail, is said to have committed the offence at about 11pm on Feb 16 - two days after the casino opened on Chinese New Year. She will appear in court again on March 31. If convicted, she could be jailed up to two years and/or fined up to $10,000.
Her case comes a week after taxi driver Loo Siew Wan was charged with allegedly trying to cheat the casino on Feb 22. The 53-year-old had a placed a bet of two $100 chips on the 'banker' after the result of the game had been declared. He hoped to fool the dealer into believing that he had a winning bet.
The cabby, who is prohibited from entering the casino under an exclusion order, is also accused of stealing his elder brother's Singapore driving licence on Feb 21 and impersonating his brother to get in to gamble the next day.
Meanwhile, two Mongolians are out on police bail for cheating by impersonation, and investigation into five people for trying to sneak into the casino on opening day without each paying the $100 levy is ongoing.
