In English, just about everything makes me dread doing it. Like a simple grammar exercise. I can drag it for 2 days. In summary, I am always in a rush to finish it so in the end, I end up with a crappy piece of work. In comprehension, I can finish it in time if i have thought up of a draft or planning.That is about it for everything on time management.

Things that I do not know or understand in English.
All this while from primary 1 to secondary 1, my English have been always my weakest subject although I do not know why.I do not take effort to remember any of the rules all their names.(e.g adjectives and nouns)I just read it in my mind and if it just sound good, I just put it in. So it is a half guess and half sense. In summary, my paraphrasing skill are quite average, only thing I am bad at are finding the points. In the question part, I am still okay with it although I do not take any effort to remember the types of questions. Thats all if you ask for comprehension though.

English bonus task:1st time I went to my grandparents house.( Latest memory I can remember.)
My mother is a PR(Permanent resident)so you can guess that my maternal grandparents are not singaporeans. They live in Ipoh, malaysia. Although they are my grandparents, I do not visit them often.
My latest memory is when I went there when I was four. It was then the first time I remembered their faces. On that day, my family and I woke up early(I did not know why then), took an extremely big luggage bag and went out. If i remembered, we reached little india at 7 but as the coach(The bus)was due to arrive at 8, we went to had breakfast first. The coach ride was 4 hours so before I knew it, we reached there.At that time,my family alighted the bus where the other passengers were still on it. Later I knew the reason. It looked like my it was nearer to my grandparents house!
After we alighted, I saw an old woman in her 50's came down to greet us. It was when my mother and father greeted her mother in Cantonese that I knew who she was. She drove us in a car, an old car, to her house. She lived in a terrence house which was in a row of the same type of house.
In the evening, It was then I meted my grandfather.He was in his 60's with white hair and had a set of denture. My grandfather worked as a driving instructor.
When I was there, I woke up earlier than I did back home and slept later too as my grandmother would bring me to eat breakfast at 6 O'clock. During the afternoon, that was the most boring part. The television channels were all spoken in malay and I did not even understand a single thing and as both my grandparents were working, I did not go out often so I loath that place.
It was when I was on my way home that I realized that I would miss everything there and when I started crying, my mother told me we would come again next year.

English bonus task :1st time I went to escape theme park!
The First time... Well,and only time I went to escape theme park was when I was 8,an extremely vague memory.It was a weekend during the June holidays to celebrate my GOOD marks for my examinations and a bit like a stress relieve.I went there with my family and my mother's school friend,one of the few she managed to keep in touch with.
We went there very early,very early at 8 in the morning and reached there at 10a.m. ,the time it opened.The ticket price was $8,an extremely easy way to waste your money.At that time,only some of the game stations were opened,possibility due to it not being as crowded.The one's that were opened were mostly kiddy rides,suitable for me when I was that age.I kept riding on a mini type of roller coaster which was slow.I road that for 1 hour before trying out others.When I saw 1 that had a lot of people queuing up for it,I didn't think what it was but lined up right away.(I'm just a typical singaporean)
When it was my turn,I finally realized what it was,a 5 story drop with a lot of water.I played with it for the rest of the day,lining back right after playing it once.
At 5 p.m. when it was about to closed,I had a change of clothes due to the water and went back home.What a fun day.I wish to go there again.

English bonus task:1st time I watch anime...lol
The first time I watched an anime was on kids centre(VERY old,very back,very lame).At that time as the next day was a Saturday,I decided to stay up playing computer games!But the time came when I had to turn it off,11p.m.
When my old computer finally managed to shut down,my Mother,was watching Inuyasha*. It's drawing was AWESOME!Well,at lest way better then barney and saseme street... It had dual sound,Mandarin and Japanese,but we stuck to the Japanese version as my chinese language at that time was really,really bad.I Got near passing marks between the 50's and 60's. That was the first time in my life that I was able to read the subtitles so fast.
After that episode,11.30p.m.,I still wasn't tired yet so we continued watching. This time,it was D-Gray man. During that episode,there were harder words in the subtitle and many terms which I did not know because I never watch the whole series before.In the end,it ended at 12a.m. where I had large eye bags...
From then on,I wanted to watch the entire series but as I was a child,I slept on the sofa even before the show started...
And there you have it,1 bonus task done,now only 2 more to go...
Inuyasha*
-I do not feel like giving a short summary about it so,just go and google it.
