NDP Blog Battle
NDP organisers again held contest in the NDP website. I entered its blog battle contest. Singaporeans are invited to blog about, 'What does the Singapore Spirit Mean To You?' So I began writing my blog....this is what I had to say.....
The Singapore Spirit is a 'Never Say Die' kind of attitude that has been embedded within each & everyone of us who are proud to be known as a Singaporean.
It determines who we are actually. Look at where Singapore is today, it is impossible to be where we are if not for this Singapore Spirit. Most of us exhibit qualities or attitudes that one would associate with the Singapore Spirit, in one way or another – we ARE, after all, in our totality, Singapore.
Picture: Night skyline
What is so unique people may ask....read on, and you will agree that the following traits are indeed within us.
Well, to me, the Singapore Spirit encompasses these five traits:
Unity. Singaporeans have a sense of community and are firmly rooted to the nation. We stay united, braving different issues, tackling each problem as it confronts us. Despite our diversity of ancestry and religions, our solidarity has allowed us to live in harmony during good times, and stay cohesive during times of adversity.
Picture:
Yvonne & myself during NDP2007 Observance Ceremony at West Spring Secondary School
Resilient. Singaporeans are determined and have the will to succeed in every tasks or endeavour. Our ‘Can Do’ attitude, tenacity, discipline and perseverance in pursuit of our hopes and dreams, are at the root of our success as a nation.
Picture: muky66 (photobucket.com)
Hardwork. Singaporeans are prepared and optimistic. Our competitiveness, integrity and vitality has helped us to strive towards doing our best and forging ahead to build a brighter future for our next generation.
Picture: All aboard
Dynamic. Singaporeans are creative and versatile. Our ability to accept change and adapt to new challenges allows us to excel in the global environment. It also cultivates the urge to explore new niche areas and build competitive advantages for continued successes.
Picture: My daughter, Siti Aishah at NDP 2007
Compassion. Singaporeans are gracious and caring. As we move ahead, we also reach out to those in need and give what we can.
The Singapore Spirit might not be something that Singaporeans mention on an everyday basis during casual conversations. Yet there is little doubt that it thrives in our deeds and actions as we go about our daily lives. The Singapore Spirit will never die!

It was a surprise to have won 1st prize (Handphone) To me, having won something is just a bonus. I love writing. Its a passion that drives me further. As a mother to 3 school going kids, I believe I must show by example, that reading & writing well goes hand in hand. Needless to say all my kids love to read. Being a housewife, does not limit that creativity in me. We parents, must be involved in our child's education as a sign that we care and is there for them when the going gets tough.

This article 'Parent-Teens Communication' is contributed by Mr Jeremy Koh, Parent Volunteer.
Parent-Teens Communication?
Communicating with teenagers actually is no different from communicating with adults. The only difference is that they are ‘family’ and we have a tendency to take family members for granted and have more expectations.

Ubin Trip 28th May 2008
We had a great a time at Pulau Ubin on last Wednesday 28/05/08. Before our journey even begin, parents were briefed by Mr Richard on parenting issues like how to manage and talk to the family. Mr Mike, one of the facilitators was playing games with the children in a separate area.
Initially, I was quite worried as the weather was quite dark but once we reached the island, it became sunny & hot. We trekked for some distance and we saw fascinating plants, kampong houses and the villagers They are very friendly. While most of the residents had shifted to Singapore, there are still some villagers staying on. We had the chance in meeting the head of the village or the Penghulu (in malay). He had been staying on the island since he was 7 years old.
We had our lunch at about 12pm. We rented bicycles and went cycling, we really enjoyed ourselves and had a great time. My legs and knees were really tired as it's been years since I've cycled. We stopped and returned the bicycles at about 2.15pm
At 2.30pm we took the bumboat back to Singapore. The weather in Singapore was getting dark. On the way home, it rained quite heavily but that does not bother us as we really had an enjoyable day in Pulau Ubin. What a great day!!

Working Together
I am glad that the video is well accepted by all. My name is Rosita Lea Sharif & I have 3 children. One being in Greenridge, Siti Aishah from 1 Joy. The other two elder ones are in Sec 3 in West Spring and Sec 2 in St Joseph's Institution.
In 2006, my eldest daughter entered West Spring Sec. Sch. I felt as if I am the one entering secondary education. Things have changed so much since I was in a secondary school. I believe I must be involved in order to keep abreast of the times and changes from the ministry. To cut the story short, I have been in the pro-term committee since its inception in 2006 till now as its Secretary. My daughter will be sitting for her 'O' level exams in 2009 and along with her, I will be graduating too.
Siti Aishah have been pestering me since January 2008 to join the PSG in Greenridge but I was just too stretch for time. Furthermore I am not familiar on how a primary school PSG works. I believe the mechanics of it is different. I humbly request your guidance in this. I would like to slowly blend in with all of you and work well together.
I am humbled by this invitation to join the Greenridge family. I hope my small contribution will go far with the students and motivate them further to excel in their studies. Thank you!
