Total Defence Day

Total Defence Day and Chinese New Year celebrations were both done on the same day. We started the day off by being distributed "The Memoirs Of Lee Kuan Yew" worksheet. It has included what Mr Lee Kuan Yew experienced during the times when Singapore was under Japanese Occupation. The story was rather interesting as it tells us what happened to Singaporeans during those time. From the Total Defence Talk by Ms Seng in our class, I understood that I had to be prepared in times of war, etc. I had also learnt that I ought to be alert in all times so that I will be able to know how to react when something happens to me. After the talk by Miss Seng, all the classes were called down to view the exhibitions of Total Defence, the 5 meanings, Psychological Defence, Economic Defence, Military Defence, Social Defence and Civil Defence. This year's Total Defence was a special one for me as the exhibitions, talks, all piqued my interest.

Chinese New Year/Hari Raya/Deepavali Celebration

What a fun day! It was the first time I experienced a school which mixes the chinese, indian and malay celebration. I feel that it our school is rather unique.
For Chinese New year in Chong Boon, I liked the concert best as there were many nice dances. It was rather disappointing that our class got 2nd in class decoration for our level as I believed that my classmates had put in alot of effort to design the classroom into a chinese new year atmosphere nicely. At the end of the concert, all class monitors and monitresses were called up to offer two oranges to their form teacher. It was a really entertaining day for my friends and I.

Growth Day @ Sentosa Beach Fiesta

This year's growth day was slightly more fun than last year as we had our growth day at the Sentosa, Siloso Beach. It was an event jointly organized by ITE and Chong Boon Secondary. We got there by a bus. The bus journey was roughly 1 hour plus, rather long. When we got there, we took quite a long walk to the destination. Finally, we reached. We could see many game stalls awaiting us. My classmates and I had much fun there. In conclusion, I learnt one of the YOG values, Friendship, as I made friends with some other people from another class. I had much fun. In spite of the fun, there's one thing in which I would like to comment about, which would be the weather, which was burning hot! Some of my friends and I even got sun burnt.
