Hey,
There are 6 animals that I would like to share about.
Red Panda
The word 'panda' is derived from a Nepalese word 'ponya' which actually means bamboo eater. The red panda is not closely related to the giant panda although both species share a common name and a similar diet. The red panda is more closely related to the raccoon. Also known as the lesser panda, fire cat or red cat bear, the red panda inhabits the Himalayan mountains of western Nepal, northern Burma and the mountains of southern China. As a result of deforestation, this species is fast disappearing, forcing it to be at the brink of being extinct.
Tarsier
The tarsier earned its name from its elongated tarsus bones in its feet. A tarsier can leap from tree to tree with lightning speed. This animal spends all its time
clinging onto tree trunks, with its tail pressed firmly against the bark to act as
support. A tarsier feeds on insects, spiders, lizards, birds and even snakes! As a
nocturnal hunter, the tarsier has huge eyes to see, and they have a good sense
of hearing as well. They are found in Indonesia and Philippines. This animal is
seriously threatened by deforestation.
Golden Lion Tamarin
The golden lion tamarin inhabits the coastal rainforests of Brazil. The female usually gives birth to twins. The dominant male cars for the newborns and carries them on his back. The golden lion tamarin was
on the brink of extinction as a result of habitat destruction and illegal pet trade. A captive breeding programme was was initiated in the 1970s to
save this animal. While many other zoos, including our Singapore Zoo have been successful in breeding golden lion tamarins, the future of these strikingly beautiful primates in the wild still remains uncertain.
Komodo Dragon
The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard. They can grow to enormous sizes because there is no competition from other large predators for food. In fact, it has no natural enemies. There are only some 3,000 Komodo dragons left in Indonesia. Human encroachment has resulted in a depletion of prey for the dragons. If we continue, zoologists say that the number of Komodo dragons left in the wild will slowly decrease, till they become extinct.
Asian Elephant
In some countries, the Asian elephant is amongst the most revered animals. Tamed Asian elephants have been used as beasts of burden for over 4,000 years! They are still being used in the logging industry. As these elephants trample into farmers' crops for the food, they are usually killed by the angry farmers. As a result of threatening the number of elephants that are already rapidly decreasing because of the conversion of their habitat.
Polar Bear
Polar bears are found in the Arctic Region. It is the world's largest carnivore, weighing up to 1000kg. Hunting of Polar bears for their fur had resulted in a decline in their population. They now face new threats of pollution and global warming. These actions of us, humans have already affected the Polar bears
and their population are decreasing day by day.

I was born on 13th July, 1996 and in Thomson Medical Centre. I am the 2nd and the youngest child in my family. I have a brother called Alvin whom had been studying in RI since 2006. I would really love to tell you more about him, but this whole posting is an autobiography of ME, not my brother. Continuing, I started speaking when I was 13 months old and probably started walking a little later. As you can see, I am a quick learner! When I turned 3, I started going to pre-nursery. It was my first year in school! The kindergarten was a church called ' True Way Presbyterian Kindergarten '. I enjoyed spending my time there. Then, when it came to the K2 graduation, I left the kindergarten to go to a primary school.
I spent only a year in Gan Eng Seng Primary School. (Class 104, where Prashaad was in.) I had my P1 injection over there and still recalled of myself being quite afraid of it. As my brother got into GEP, he opted to change school and got into Henry Park. And so I was also transferred into HPPS. I really missed my old school. As I did not really had a chance to say goodbye to my friends and my teachers. I started off in P2 in HPPS (2I), it was really frightening for me at first as I was in a whole new environment and did not know anyone. I had a rather strict teacher too. Soon, I adapted to this new environment and made friends that I still keep in touch with these days. I met a group of nice girls that showed me around the school, and one of them was Hui Lin.
Then, in P3 (3I), I had my first try of Science. It was pretty tough getting all the facts in my mind but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty ok. I sat for the GEP selection test but did not get through, like my brother did. But I was very relieved that I did not get in as I would not have met all my friends in P4, 5 and 6. Whew...
And so came the streaming, not many of my old mates followed me into my class that year. I was in 4B. But I soon got over it as I met many new friends. That year, I was really very happy as I aced my subjects with an overall score of 351. Not to mention, I met many close friends that followed me into 5A the following year. In 5A, I felt really proud as I was in the top class of the mainstream. It was a stressful year. There were also many distractions, the P5 Camp, NE Show and the unforgettable Shandong, China educational trip. It was really fun exploring the various tourist attractions of China, these include the: Forbidden City, Great Wall of China and many more. Especially with a not so nice teacher, I neglected 1 of my subjects and had a great downfall that landed me in the 2nd top class of P6. Man... That was a great big booster that made me even more determined to go to my ideal school: RGS. Although I feel sad to leave my 5A mates, time cannot be turned back. I am in P6 now. (6I) I had my injection last month. It was sort of pain and it stayed on for a few days. I am so relieved that it's over as I can now concentrate on my PSLE instead of worrying over the injection. I am already feeling the pressure for my upcoming PSLE. Time really flies, in a blink of an eye, 11 years have passed and my PSLE is coming right up! Wish me good luck to get into my ideal school!

Hi,
This post is about the Singapore war heroine Elizabeth Choy, she braved the war and never betrayed Singapore. Although she was tortured, she still refused to admit that she was a Chinese informant or that she was anti-Japanese. What a brave lady she was! She was badly kicked and beaten while kept in prison, with very little food, ventilation and water, but when released from prison, she refused to name the Japanese officers that had tortured her. She was very forgiving and broad-minded. Instead, she forgave them. She was such a brave soul, a forgiving and passionate person, and was truly loyal to Singapore. I am sure she will be remembered forever as a brave war heroine.
