Valentines Day

Hello! I was asked by my teacher and classmates to find out how Valentines Day began, and so I did!!I love Valentines Day! It's such a romantic occasion, but people don't really appritiate this celebration...

How did Valentines Day begin???
February 14 is dedicated to all people who love one another:friends, family, parents and sweethearts. It's a special occasion to express our feelings by giving a gift of chocolate a poem, a flower, or... a smile!

It's a very old holiday...
On February 14, the ancient Romans celebrated the Goddess Juno, wife of the God Jupiter, and protectoe of women and married couples. On February 15, the feast of Lupercalia was celebrated, in honor of the God Luperco, the arrival of spring, and the fertility of the earth and animals. In the 5th century A.D., these feasts were both abolished, and February 14 became the Saint Valentine, the patron Saint of lovers.

The story of Saint Valentine
Valentine was the bishop of Terni, Italy. He was imprisoned, and then beheaded by the Roman Emporor Claudius II in A.D. 269. There are many stories in Valentine's life that show why he became the patron saint of people who love one another. This is one of them:

After school,many children went to play in Valentine's garden. One day, Valentine heard a young couple arguing there. He gave them a beauriful red rose and prayed that their love would be eternal. The young couple made up immedieately and asked Valentine to officiate their wedding!

Now you see why I like Valentine'sm day. Happy Valentine's Day!!! *giggle*

Owch!

Owch! On monday morning, I was playing with my friends in school near the school gardens. When one of my friends, Pricilla, suggested that we play catching. Since no one wanted to volen teer as the catcher, Nicolas, said,"Last to the gate is the catcher!" Everyone blasted off to the gate. Luckily, I managed to get there 6th.

Wan Yi and lydia were the lsat. "RUN!!" Shouted Zi Qi, and so we did. Unexpectedly, I tripped and fell! My arm would've been safe if Wan Yi was behind me, and she landed on me! "Ah!"I screamed in pain as I watched the blood ozze out of both my knees. then, I went to the hospital...

Owch!

I think...

Hi, Mdm Neo! I think I have done very well as I have done quite alot of assesments. This SA2 paper was quite easy as my my family gave me some tution themselfs. I hope I will not fail and dissapoint them as they had high hopes on me, and my Dad will confiscate my handphone! I SOO don't want to fail! I will tell you how good each of my subjects are...

1) English: My English is quite well and my test paper was very easy. I felt beads of sweat flow down my face when the teacher gave and took the paper. But, in the end ,I found out it was easy!

2)Maths: What can I say? My Maths is very bad! I always failed my Maths since I started Primary 4. I don't know WHAT will I do in PSLE! I felt butterflies in my stomach when I took the exam! But it was a bit easier since my sister gave me tution. I hope I will not fail! My worse tpoic is fractions, and I hate it!!

3) Mother Tonuge: Well, Chinese is my best subject, which I can't believe cause my Chinese sucked like hell before! It was totally easy! If I fail, I;ll kill myself!( NOT literaly!!)

4) Science: Humm... well, smy Science is OK, it's the same as English. It was easy yet difficult at the same time! My worse topic was Interactions, and I don't know why!

What was your second question, oh yes. I think I can improve by buying assesment books, going to tution, revise what the tacher has thought you today, and don't doze off and watch TV and play computer all the time!

I hope all of my readers can take my advise and pass all your test with flying colors!!! Thank you! Bye-Bye!
