Post Exam
Now that exams are over, and you've possibly vested your energies in mindless computer games, movies, LAN gaming, maplestory, serial reruns, shopping (ok this one is optional. no one should EVER be able to get enough of shopping!), talking/complaining about exams and how they went, soccer, assorted other sports, etc, let me recommend to you a personal favourite timepasser (which i unfortunately have not indulged in for a long long time).
Reading.
Ok now that you are done guffawing, read me out. Reading is NOT a bad thing at all. In fact, there's nothing better than lying on a couch with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day/night (of course this is temperamental in Singapore) and reading a really good book.
There's many genres. Thriller, chicklit, romance, etc. Take your pick. Now I understand that while I may be sounding like the library's promotions (and I assure you this has absolutely nothing at all to do with your respective class readerships), this is purely to entice you into realising how. Fun. Reading can be.
You enter new worlds, broaden your horizons, get new ideas (I swear I was going to tear all my hair out reading the same old plots in your compositions), learn more about the world and people and societies and the way people and their world's run, get a better grasp of English, get new Vocab into your system, find a way to pass time...
The list can go on because I am pretty long-winded:)
So get yourself a good book and if it's a hot day, make yourself some cold Milo. Find a good not-too-comfy couch (we don't want you to end up sleeping) and crack open the book.
And read. Don't just start stoning or staring into space.
To get you started, find meaningful books like Mitch Albom's Five People You Meet In Heaven, Bo or Tuesdays With Morrie.
If you want Lit texts, try The Crucible by Arthur Miller. I just read it over the weekend and it is. brilliant.
Alexandre Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo rocks too.
Of course, if you'd rather something lighter, help yourself to chicklit. Some plots are so ridiculous that they actually seem believable:) Like The Undomestic Goddess by I'mnottoosurewho.
Good Old-era books include Ken Follet's Dangerous Fortune.
Neil Humphreys writes very well too. He's a columnist for the Today paper and encompasses local humour in his writings. He's got a book of his compiled articles (well more than one book) like Stories from the Little Island or something similar. Sorry my memory fails me:P
Right before I spend any more time taking off books from the top of my mind, head to the nearest book and start reading.
I hope you are sufficiently bored enough to do so.
Salaam Namaste,
Ms Meghna

The Undomestic Goddess is written by Sophie Kinsella. Love that book. ;-)
oo Neil Humphrey is really funny. read his stuff on Today's newsppr.
im still sticking to harry potter, my comics and a couple others. cant get enough of em.

Yeah the Da Vinci Code is interesting. Planning to read Angels and Demons AND deception point as well.
yep, thanks ada, kar wing and anon another one:)
you guys have great taste! haha
haven't read angels and demons myself, but that cuz i heard its pretty technical, and if you know me enough, you know i hate physics:)
go read. increase your class readership or whatever it is:)
ms meghna
hey!! ive read both angels and demon+da vinci code!
angels and demons has a few pervertic parts...not recommended for some. haha.
This is very off topic but..when will we get back our eng paper?Please no more horrendous mark scoring paper..geog and maths is enough to mak me sick for 1 month..haha..and by the way I haven't went to a library besides the school library for years
DJ- you haven't GONE to the lib:)
papers are going to start coming to you either wed or thurs on. think positive. in any case, even if the papers aren't done as well as you'd rather, think of it as mass suffering. where the whole level faces the same terrifying paper and largely fearsome results.
:)
u still havent answered my question yet!! why are you leaving??
sorry if we upset you today ms meghna
Yea Ms Meghna..
Yeah ms megna..we're really sorry! ;_;
kar wing youre supposed to make her feel better and u spell her name wrongly. jeez. whatever.
The Da Vinci code is really nice. angels and demons 2.. and the technical stuff is really easy to understand. really. havent read deception point yet tho. my fren says it's not that nice.
Neil Humphreys also has another sequel to that book called Scribbles from An Even Smaller Country.
