The Earth Hour of Singapore this year (2009) is about Singaporeans have to turn off the lights for 1 hour and also send a powerful global message that we need to take action on climate change.
This year's Earth Hour is held on the 28th March (Saturday). People organizes this event so that people could at least save the Earth for a few hours if we all participate. During the Earth Hour, I can switch off all the electrical stuff and have a good sleep. We did all these to prevent Earth from Global Warming.
We can all participate in the Earth Hour so that we could save the Earth from a terrible Global warming.

March Holidays
During the March Holidays, I went to the Eastern part of China (NanJing, BengBu, ShangHai). I went to China with other 3 classmates... They are Le Yi, Benjamin and Zhi Hao. Le Yi was my room mate as I am the 'closest' friend to her there.
The weather in China is very cold. There was about 2 days when the weather is getting warmer. But after the 2 days have passed, it had turned warm again.
School Visit
We also visited 2 schools in BengBu (蚌埠). Every year, some of our pupils from the school will also go China to visit the places and Schools in China. In these 3 years, our school has always been visiting this particular school. When we are attending classes with the pupils there, I realised that when they are studying, they were deep in thought of how to answer the teacher's question. And when the teacher asked them to read a paragraph, they read in a neat, fast and loud manner. They have learnt so much that they could even master their English Language in days! Most of them there are very brave and likes to take part in many different things. They also can make many friends in a day. I also realised that they are also very loyal to their country.
After a few days in that school, they had an assembly as a farewell party. The way they performed is amazing! They also had a violin club and a cha cha dance club!
Although the other school is meant for poor people, I think the way the study is also as good. If I rate that school in their studies, I would rate it as 10/10!
Places of interest
Other than school visits, we also visited some other places. At one of the places, we have to climb up hundreds of steps to reach the top of the mountain to meet someone. When we were at that place, it was raining. So, when we climbed up and look down to see the view, it was very misty. Actually, I was hopping to see snow... As I have never seen it before.
There was another place where we saw many beautiful flowers. 梅花 (Mei Hua) you call it...
What a fun time during the school holidays! I wish I would go back with my families and friends again!

Fire Safety
Fire Safety is a very important thing that everyone has to take part in. Although I have never been into a fire break out before I could tell you a few tips on fire safety.
The fire would start burning if you left the stove's fire on and forget to switch it off. It may also happen when a pile of papers or curtains, or something that could caught fire easily been put beside a lamp. One most common reasons is that children would play with matches or any other dangerous things. Children easily got hurt because they are too active and likes to find out new things. So, I think children have to be very conscious order to prevent themselves from getting hurt.
If you are caught in a fire, these are a few tings that you could do :
1. Call the Police if you could reach the phone
2. Go into the room and close the door. With a piece of towel, use it to cover the small opening at the bottom of the door and open the window to shout for help.
3. If you are caught in the smoke, get a wet cloth and cover your mouth, crouch down and crawl to the nearest exit.
If I were given a chance to tell people to be careful of the fire, I would want to create an activity that it's addicting to the kids while making them to learn something. I think addicting games allows most children to remember something from it and talks to friends and share about it. It really brings a lot of knowledge to them...
