Youth Olympic. Written by SOOJIN.
- Youth Olympic will held first time in Singapore. so I'm also very proud of Singapore. Because Youth Olympic will held first time in Asia. That's why I'm also very proud of singapore. Youth Olympic will held from 14th August to 26th August.
YOG is very important to all of Singaporeans. As for me, I'll do YOG's volunteer. So YOG is also very important to me. I'll help the youth Korean athletes and couches. And then I'll recomand the hot place in Singapore whenever they want to travel in singapore. So I receive YOG's training every saturdays. One of reasons is that I'm very proud of YOG is main sponsor of YOG is Samsung. Samsung is one of Korea IT brand. So YOG will held almost 10days later. I'll expect a lot of things in YOG. And then That'll be very memorable experience to me and all of Singaporeans. Conglatulations, Singapore!!!!!

Floods in singapore; Who should bear the responsibility? Written by SOOJIN
- Nobody. We never avoid floods. Flood is the one of nature. We just try to reduce the damage. Nowadays, there are 4 times floods in Singapore. As for Korea, we always suffer damage of floods every summer because of typhoon and heavy rain. We always try to prevent the floods. But can't. Because flood is unpredictable. We never avoid nature disasters. So we can't be blame to anybody. We're just ready for reducing damage of future floods. We never prevent and avoid floods. But we have to try to decrease the damage more and more. So who should bear the responsibility?? The answer is "nobody".

IPAD Fever by Joshua Lim
The date has been set and everyone is bustling around waiting for the IPad to be finally released in Singapore. What is an IPad? Well, its the collest device one should be owning right now. Its like a laptop but instead of having a keyboard, it is touchscreen. How awesome is that? Many people have already reserved theirs though it costs over $900 for one. Everyday, there is atleast one person that you can hear ranting about how cool the IPad is, how nice the design is or anything related to the IPad.
The question is, is the IPad worth its cost? $900 can buy you alot of things, but would u spend it on an 11' piece of metal? Well if i had the money, i definetely would ! The IPad is actually similar to an IPhone only that its bigger and it record up to 12fingers so more people can play on it. It can also go to the internet so we could read our mail or watch videos off youtube. Though the IPad has yet to be released, reviews from other countries have all been positive about the IPad saying that it is super entertaining and whoever does not own one is losing out in life. So, what are you waiting for ! Go save some money and buy one once it is out in stores !

Animal Abuse By Shirley Kettler
Animal Abuse is definitely not something to be proud of. We have all heard stories, seen pictures, videos and even come close contact when such scenarios ocurr.
So why do people still do it despite this shameful act? For some, people may detest animals and therefore try to provoke them to have some fun. Some uses props that can be found at the surrounding and play with the stray animals without knowing they were being harmed. Others simply torture these animals for they have no kindness towards animals.
One such incident was the case of a fine young lady using her high heels to pierce a kitten's eye. Pictures were spreaded through emails and those who came to know of it created a commotion to send the lady to court for justice. What was this lady thinking? Classy ladies aren't that glamouras after all.
We should all promote kindness to animals. Animals may come in all shapes and colours but even with such imperfecctions, they still have feelings like us human beings and we should spare a thought for every living creature. Inform the SPCA when you spot animal abuse. Spread the word to appreciate animals for what they are. Animals, after all, give us good company and spread their love for us too.

If you've not heard of the IPAD, then where have you been ! It's almost the top 10 used word nowadays among everyone. It's a magnificent gadget that everyone wants a hold of it.
Before the IPAD, the iphone was the big hit. With apple's famous iphone 3G and the iphone 3Gs, the IPAD became the "next level" for Apple. The IPAD is somewhat similar to a computer, only now you can bring it wherever you go with ease. iPad has a 9.7inch, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display and incredible Multi-Touch capability. It’s thin and light enough to take anywhere. ANYWHERE. With just the slightest touch of your finger, you can access pages through websites, write an email, flick through photos, or watch a movie ! It's really a "dream come true" gadget. Thousands of apps were made just for the iPad. Right now you can discover over a thousand apps on the app store made just for iPad and if that’s not enough, you can also run almost 200,000 iPhone apps. What more could you ask for ? The iPAD is really the best present you could purchase.

Floods in Singapore - Who should bear the responsibility? Written by Shirley Kettler
Recently, a flood struck Singapore and not only did it happen once, but 4 times within 2 months. The flood was so strong that the water reached knee-high level around the area of Bukit Timah area.
To prevent such measures from happening, 780 sandbags were provided to shops leveled in the basement by placing them at the entrance. Moreover, Liat towers at Orchard Road were severley hit and have more than 200 sandbags around the building.
So who should be responsible for the occurence of unexpected floods? Because such disasters are unpredictable, i personally feel that there is no finger to point at. What can be done is to work on future precautions rather than dwell on who to blame. For instance, the MP is currently calling authorities to draw up an emergency reponse plan for these floods. This is a good measure to prevent future floods from occuring. Instead of pushing the reponsibilty to certain authorities, future precautions should be taken to prevent more lives from being lost.

SAM Floods in singapore who should bear the responsibility ?
the clouds ? of course not ! the truth is, no one is blame. can you blame the clouds ? can you blame the country ? can u blame yourself or the government? It isn't any of the faults. It is part of nature. However we can think of ways to improve efficient protection against floods. Because of the recent weather, singapore has gone through storms and rains and even accidents due to the weather. such as a tree falling on a car because of the weather or even floods occuring in orchard, disrupting business activities. In orchard, floods have gone to knee level or even higher disrupting Starbucks business. As singapore has a small land space, there is not enough space to build more reserviors or add in canals. The government is doing their best to aid in this flood situation. Everyone also has a part to play in the flood situation as well. We should bear responsibility as everyone has a part to play. To help one another whenever a flood situation happens to aid protection and safety among everyone.
