Hi readers, below will be my comments on George's blog -- http://georgeblogging.blogspot.com/ on the topic of "Russian Heat Wave"
After reading George's post, I was shocked by the number of lives have been lost due to fires and droughts. In my opinion, I feel that many countries do not take global warming into eye and this has thus caused many serious consequences. Apart from countries which are heavily affected by the increasing effect of global warming, others do not even give support to prevent the destruction of the ozone layer. There had been an organised meeting in Singapore to help prevent the extent of global warming to get too large, but it ended up without an agreement as a few countries did not agree to the terms. In conclusion, I urge the government that they should start to take heavier action to prevent global warming as it would be easier to start early rather than when global warming has becomed an extremely dangerous concern to the Earth.

Comment on Sze Chuan's blog
Hi readers, below will be my comments on Sze Chuan's blog -- http://causticpotashhhh.blogspot.com/ on the topic of "Flooding in Orchard Road"
I feel that these flash floods happen more oftenly in Singapore nowadays. I suppose it is caused by the depletion of the ozone layer and also the increasing threat of global warming. However, I still feel that Singapore is fortunate that the floods that happen are not as serious as compared to other countries where citizens actually get drowned by the floods. Furthermore, Singapore's government have been taking several measures after the first flooding incident to prevent the loss of too many goods, at the same time trying to prevent citizens from getting stranded. In conclusion, I think that people who make use of this flood incident to obtain goods that are submerged in the water does not have any integrity. They make use of a natural disaster to obtain benefits for themselves, indeed should be despised by others.

Comment on Sze Chuan's blog
Hi readers, below will be my comments on Sze Chuan's blog -- http://causticpotashhhh.blogspot.com/ on the topic of "Boy cladded in bermudas, T-shirt and flip flops runs 13 km with the runners carrying the YOG torch"
I feel that this boy is what Singapore is looking for. With such a determination to run with the Olympic torch, Wei Jie must have a very strong national pride for Singapore. He is able to neglect his studies and run with the torch for a mere 13km, this shows that he is indeed a very persistent soul who is able to persevere to reach his goals. Since the YOG torch relay began, I have not heard of any Singaporean, apart from Wei Jie, who ran with the torch to give some support. Therefore, I suppose that Wei Jie has set a very good role model to us by showing his perseverence of reaching a certain goal. As students, we should also learn how to overcome obstacles in our path and not just give up easily upon seeing a difficult question.

Comment on Marcus Lau's blog
Hi readers, below will be my comments on Marcus Lau's blog -- http://blanketboymarcus.blogspot.com/ on the topic of "Success"
I feel that success is when I have accomplished a task which I have put in a lot of effort into. According to the dictionary, success is the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like. However, I take the same stand as Marcus and feel that this definition is not real success. Success requires hard work, while wealth can be attained in many ways, some which does not require any work at all. Therefore, I feel that the dictionary definition of success is unrealistic. All in all, everyone has different views on their own real success. I feel that no matter how many failures a person has faced, he will have successed even more times compared to his failures.

Comment on Qing Zhou's blog
Hi readers, below will be my comments on Qing Zhou's blog -- http://ep9cfail-blog.blogspot.com/ on the topic of "Why can't people just show some support for the YOG"
After reading Qing Zhou's post, I feel quite shocked by the fact that our citizens do not show any support for the YOG. However, I think that the YOG came at the wrong time of the year, during students' test period, which then causes a lot of students unable to buy the tickets in case of a clash between a test and the YOG game. As the YOG games are played by teenagers around our age, I assume that it should be meant for us to watch. In my own opinion, I conclude that it is true that Singpore citizens do not show any support for the YOG and that most spectators are forced to watch the games. One example is the students in school uniform who watch the shows after school time, I heard that they are forced by their schools to buy the tickets. All in all, I feel that the YOG is a rare opportunity for us to watch as it is held in our homeland and that we should all grab this opportunity.

Comment on Joel Lee's blog
Hi readers, below will be my comments on Joel Lee's blog -- http://jneater.blogspot.com/ on the topic of "Swiss Vandal".
I agree with Joel's point that the judge is being a little more strict to this case by convicting Oliver Fricker of seven months in jail and three strokes of the cane. However, I shall say that it is unfair as Oliver Fricker is a foreigner who just wanted to "beautify" the MRT train. Moreover, I feel that if Singapore lay such a heavy sentence on Fricker, it will cause Singapore's relationship with Switzerland to be strained and may lead to further consequences. In my own opinion, I feel that Fricker should be not be convicted of caning, but instead a longer sentecne in jail and a large sum of money. From the point of view as a reader, I still do not understand Fricker's intention of vandalizing a MRT train and find that it is a really foolish thing to do as it will lead to unforseen circumstances.

Alternative Ending to EoEH
Hi readers, today I will be writing an alternative ending to the novel Emily of Emerald Hill. The novel ended with Emily remembering her years as a mother and the head of Emerald Hill. However, I feel that this way of ending is pretty boring and normal and thus I shall propose another ending to the novel.
As the years went by, Emily became lonelier with Charles, Edward and Doris visiting her only during Chinese New Year and her birthday. Gradually, Emily suffered depression.
On her 75th birthday, she was given a large television set by her children. However, on the very occasion, Emily's health condition unfortunately also detoriated. The doctor had diagnosed her with Alzheimer disease, urging her children to spend the last few days together with Emily.
As Emily was admitted to the ward, she held a grin on her face, telling her children that they have to take good care of Emerald Hill as it is their family's "treasure". Days past with Emily getting paler and paler...
At one period of time, Emily started talking about her past times as the head of Emerald Hill, telling her children about the hardships she had went through. One that silent night, Emily's soul left her body willingly, reuniting together with Kheong and Richard...
