Reflection on Chingay 2016

     I have watched this year's Chingay performance,it is held at the F1 building pit.

     Unlike other years,sitting infront of the television,I get to witness the Chingay performance personally.Its was really splendid.Last time,whenever I hear people saying how large scale and wonderful was the Chingay performance,I question myself:isn't it just 'boats' around the streets?What is so fascinating about them?However,after I witness the whole scene of Chingay 2016,my views change because from the television,we can only view parts of the performance,but by standing at the F1 pit myself here,it was really a fascinating scene!How many people are needed to hold such a large scale activity,it's magnificent!By sitting behind the television to watch,I can't really get the atmosphere there,but by going there and watching it,the atmosphere really gets high!

     Chingay 2016's theme is 'lights of legacy,brighter Singapore'.As I watch the performance,I realized it is trying to promote racial harmony,like what our founding fathers wished and work hard towards. There were performers from different race,culture,and even performers from other country!Singapore is a country where people came from different country,race and culture,hence,racial harmony is very important for a small country like us.

     The performers from different cultures and background have to work together and go through thick as and thins together to make this Chingay performance a success.However,by knowing this,it suddenly came to me that actually,Chingay is like Singapore,we are the performers,we have to work hard and stick through thick and thins together,to make this little red dot a shining red dot,so bright that no one can ever miss it when looking at the map.The lights of legacy is like what our founding father,Mr Lee Kuan Yew,left for us.It is his legacy,his thoughts and will that will be left for us to carry on,making a brighter Singapore for the future.

     Hence,I think that Chingay 2016 was a success!

View on 2-child policy:

I stand in a neutral position because I think there is pros and cons to it.

At that point of time,many family gave birth to 7or 8 kids,this led to a quick increase of population in such a small country,which we can handle because of the housing issues.Hence at that time,birth control is needed.

However,the birth control now had led to back fire which caused some family to only give birth to one kid.Singapore's average birth rate is 1.2,it is not enough to replace both parent and also,the only child will have more stress due to being the only one to support the whole family,which may consist of 3-4 generation up to 12 people for the child to support.

Hence,I think that the 2-child policy can be used but to a certain extend.

3 things I found out:

-some policies may backfire

-with only a child In the family,stress will be huge.

-policies will have pros and cons,there will definitely not be a definite good policy that will guarantee a success,because it is just whether you can predict it or not or will the side effect show when time comes.

2 perception I gained

-nothing is a definite 

-everything has its pros and cons

1 question I have:

Why did PM Lee allowed this policy if it will have a after effect?

Poverty and happiness-Jingwen

Does being rich necessary mean happiness?

I don't think so,as I think being poor not necessarily mean to be sad and depressed.You may be rich,but without the care and laughters of your family,you wouldn't be happy.If you are poor but you have a caring and happy family,you will be able to stick through thick and thin no matter what happens and hence you will be happy

For an example,a rich billionaire with his children working all day not visiting him and he had no company but have everything he needed to live,he wouldn't be happy right?He had no company,how could he be happy?

Another example is a child that lead a luxurious life,but his parent are all working all day,not accompanying him,that is why no matter how much he does not have to worry about life he still,isn't happy.

Hence,I think that being rich does not necessarily mean happiness.

平凡中的不平凡-林静文

我的课外活动是戏剧。

戏剧在别人眼里，就只是演戏，只需要天分就可以了。但是你们不知道的事还多着呢。戏剧讲究的不是天分，而是你的努力。戏剧不单单是演戏，而是需要配合剧本，舞台设计，服装设计，灯光影响设计以及道具设计。大家都以为戏剧就只是上台表演一下，但不为人知的事，就为了舞台上的一瞬间，我们花了整整7-8个月的时间准备。从编辑剧本开始，到舞台设计，都需要队员的亲力亲为，我们还需要选拔角色加上排练一整场戏，非常的辛苦。

无论有多辛苦，我都热爱戏剧，❤️我这个大家庭，爱这个我们一起流过汗水，一起狂欢，一起说那些不可告人的秘密，一起被骂，被罚的地方。这让我想起《青春彼岸》这首歌的歌词：那些曾有过的狂欢，那些曾青涩的伤感.....

无论这个地方是个别人觉得有多平凡的地方。
