Hachiko (A ture story that will make u cry)

  In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

  Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.
  The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.
  Hachikō died on March 8, 1935. He died at the same spot where his owner found him.His faithfulness to his master's memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve.

Hachiko's stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.

Total Defence Day

  Total Defence Day was to remind students that Singapore is defensible and is worth defending. Our school celebrated it by giving us only 1 piece of bread and a bottle of water. We could not have our second serving because during the World War 2, the peoples were starving because of the shortage of food. We need to remember that they had a difficult period.



  We had pratice the fire drill, when the emergency bell had rung. The whole school was rushing down to the field instucted by the relief teacher. We were sitting under the hot sun and waiting for instruction. It was super hot and we were almost burnt. I hate this part of the event as it almost made me faint.


  After that, we also have to fill in a survey from that was about how the event was going ture and how it can improve in the future.


  The Total Defence day was a very meaningful day and we must bear in mind that defense ourself is very important.

Growth day to Sentosa The beach fiesta

  This year's Growth Day was much different with the previous years. The school had brought us to the Sentosa and we were participateing in the Beach Fiesta that the ITE had organize. I really appreciate the events. Thank you ITE.


  Sentosa was really a very beautiful place no wonder it attract so many tourism. Although the sun was burning us, we were still very exciting about the events. There were many game organize by the ITE and we were standing there hesitated that which station we are going to. I had played many game such as arrowing and puzzle. I enjoy playing the game very much. In the end i had win the prize because i had my stiker book full.


  I learnt that the ITE friends were all very friendly and thanks for the fiesta that had been well planed for us. Thanks very much!
