What is the definition of "Emo"?

You must have heard the verb/noun(if it even is) in your school! Well, I've been hearing it everyday since I stepped into Hwa Chong! What do you think is the definition of "emo"?
You may want to know how I view this word. I think that being emo(so emo must be a verb) is when you are feeling down and you start to be unwilling to interact with anybody and bottle up your feelings. Overall, its negative, so try not to have these "symptoms". Share your thoughts.

Read more!!

There is no secret to becoming an English genius overnight. There is a short yet long path though. That is to read. As my English teacher says, the more you read, the more language you are exposed to and your mind will start to absorb the language. Thus, you will be able to improve your English as, in general, all books have good grammar and vocabulary. Also, you should choose books that have information that interests you, so that you don't fall asleep a few pages into the book.
There is a link to weRead.com at on the right side of the page. This site lets you read a few free books and also has many other functions. It is also linked to libraries and bookstores so that you can know the availability of the book if you want to read it. Remember, read, read, and read some more!

How's your school life?

Yo people! How are your lives in school going on after one term in Secondary 1(for those who are sec 1 this year)? Send in your comments telling me about your school life! You can grade it on a scale of 10 and tell me interesting everyday things going on in your school! They could even be whether there are red ants in the school or whatever you like.You can also write a bit about your personal life at home. But please DO NOT spread rumours. I do not want my blog to become a flaming website.
You may be asking. What about my school life? Hmmm... Well... That question is actually quite hard to put in words, but i'll try my best to explain it. My CCA is very fun but it is tiring. I can interact with my friends but the homework also puts me off as sometimes the requirements are too great and I am hard pressed by myself to do my utmost best. This always results in me piling up great frustrations in myself unknowingly. Then I will realise that all of a sudden...... And I will...HUG BLUEY. Yeah! So that's just what my school and a bit of my personal life at home is about.

P.S. I'm hugging BLUEY now.

Are profanities meant to hurt or just a sick sense of humour?

Hmmm.... Just by looking at the title you should know what my post will be talking about. But i'm really puzzled. Are profanities meant to hurt or just a sick sense of humour? Because I have a friend who thinks that profanities are invented for a kind of humour only he can appreciate. When he says them he just smiles and doesn't seem to be angry. But I thought that profanities were to be used to express your utmost anger? Hmmm... I think that my friend could have changed his humour to be a warped sense. But you never know. Somebody may share his warped sense of humour! Share your comments on this article.

Earth Hour--Is it Useful or Useless?

Whew! Sorry again because i've been inactive for so long. Anyway, Earth Hour has already been history for about a week, but what do you think about it? I think that it has, from a long-term perspective, no use at all. Although you have saved the Earth one hour of energy, but people will then think that they have done their part and then be more careless with how they use energy. What do you think?
