Feeling Sick

Holla again,
Today's school was the worst school day of the year. I AM NOT FEELING WELL!!!!! I think this is due to the late might i had yesterday. I was rushing out my Art Elective Programme (AEP) 3D Studio Max animation till about 1-1.30am. I was DEAD tired. So today i had sore throat, slight fever and worst of all, constipation. That made me waste half an hour of my AEP class! Through this terrible and uncalled for experience, I laernt that the number of sleepng hours per day is extremely important. I recall doing a survey last year about sleeping hours for Hwa Chong boys, and the results are not pleasing. 3/4 of HC boys sleep at around 12 midnight not because of homework, but because of computer games!

Let me share with you these 7 tips on healthy sleeping:
1)Set a conducive sleep environment.

2)Maintain a constant sleeping and wake-up time.

3)Stay away from sleep stealing stimulus.

4)Exercise regularly.

5)Cool off your body temperature.

6)Don't force yourself to sleep.

7)Avoid afternoon naps.

In 1957 Lee submitted the manuscript of her novel to the J. B. Lippincott Company. After being instructed to rewrite it, Lee worked on it for two and a half more years. Finally in 1960, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, her only book, was published. She wrote two articles titled "Love In Other Words" in Vogue and "Christmas To Me" in McCalls.

How was "To Kill A Mocking Bird" significant to Harper Lee?
-The story depicted her life. The main character, Scout was very much like her as she was also a tomboy when she was young.

-Dill on the other hand was modeled on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Truman Capote lived next to Harper Lee when she was young too, like in the story. They were also best friends since young

-The fictional Jem was also four years than her in the story as he is in real life.

-She got to witnessed the incident through her father, Amasa Coleman Lee, who was an attorney who tried to protect two innocent black man accused of murder.

-Another reason why the book was so important to her was also because she experienced the racial tension during that time.

-She wanted to use the book as a platform to show how racists the white people were towards the black people.

-She witnessed the death sentence of the innocent black man and was greatly mortified as she knew that the black man was innocent.

Hope you guys absorbed something from this!

My first post for my blog....

Hey guys!
This is my very first post. I decided to switch to another blog as I feel that the previous blog was a little too dull and i would also consider it dead.

Changes that I had made to the blog:

1. Theme
I finally learnt how to change and apply themes to the blog! ( I am sure you guys already know how to do that) This theme should be alright i guess, a little messy though.

2. Applications
My previous blog was full of applications and rubbish, totally not related to anything at all. So, this time around, i will keep things simple and not include those apps.

Well i think that should be it. Just comment and tag!
