Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a a annual celebration, whereby chinese relatives would gather and celebrate the start of a new chinese year. Married couples are required to give "hong bao" to the young children. "Hong bao" is a small red packet in which the adults put a sum of money, which can be any amount, into the red packet and give it to the kids.

Before the Chinese New Year, every chinese who celebrates chinese new year would have to clean up their house. They believed that cleaning up the house would eradicate the bad luck and also invite the new good luck to enter.

Each familiy member would have to get new clothes to dress up as well. Yearly, those who visit will have a feast of food. The differ from many varieties as well. However, one thing will never change about every Chinese New Year, and that is the eating of "yusheng". My grandma is an expert of making "yusheng", and she is able to create different ingredients to go along. Before i was born, she would make them and sell them off. A restaurant once offered a proposal, whereby she made the "yusheng" and deliver at a higher price. She declined, as the transport would be expensive, and are not covered. It is a raw fish salad,mixed with gravy to enhance the taste.

During Chinese New Year, i would spend time with my cousins at their house. We would play games, and have lots of fun. The down part, is that i don't get to keep the money from the red packets. Although i will get to have them at the age of 21. I had lots of fun. This is the favourite time of the year for me, and i will always enjoy these days and make it memorable!

My view on Chong Boon Seconday School rules.


Chong Boon is a neighborhood school that is filled with many lively students. However, every school would have to place school rules in their school to ensure stability and peace, lest there be any troubles.

Rules are there for us to follow. While other more rebellious students would take rules as "Rules are meant to be broken". However, i have to disagree with it. Rules are meant to control students.

What i feel about the school rules is that they are placed there to tell us that we should follow them. Without school rules, there would be mass chaos in the school. That is the main reason why there are rules in place. However, if one is to compare the school rules of the Europe and Asia, they are entirely different in a few ways.

One of them is that they are allowed to wear home clothes while schools in Singapore must wear uniforms when going to school. Wearing uniforms denotes which school are you in for easier identification. Secondly, all students in Singapore who are attending school must have a proper and neat hair, that is off natural born hair color. However, schools in Europe allows any kinds of hairstyle.

Therefore, my view on Chong Boon Secondary School rules are meant to be followed. This way, there would be peace in the school.
