Not really positive but just sometimes I am only happy when there's something funny or funny jokes.
1.When my family makes up a joke
2.When the television shows something very funny like Just For Laughs Gags
3.When I am just surprisingly hyper and do something funny or say something funny

I am 9/10 happy. What makes me happy? The 3 things that make me happy are:

The first thing that makes me happy is when I help my teachers carry things. It makes me feel happy because I can exercise and feel the air-con in the H.O.D :D

The second thing that makes me happy is when it comes to the holidays because I can play computer games with my friends and enjoy myself by running in the morning, playing Xbox games in the afternoon and sleeping at night.

The third and last thing that
makes me happy is when I go out with my family to the stadium and other places like Sentosa, Marina Bay Sands and so on because I can
see new places, eat new dishes, drink new drinks and chat with my family. :DDDDD

S.Shrree Sindujah Nair said...

1]Hi my name is Sindujah. The things that make me happy in life is going to school.That is the first thing i am going to talk about. Being in school helps us learn new things. For instance, like our subject teachers prepare interesting lessons which is fun and it is something you can work and look forward to. Not only our smart teachers make the subjects even more interesting and even more exciting by adding innovative and creative ideas which makes us think, reflect or even do it as a review. Doing this can help inprove our knowledge better and help us build our interest in learning even stronger. As a Prefect myself I like to uphold this duty as I get to interact with new people and learn more about how to teach them to be a good school role model and to teach and learn more how to uphold our school value in our daily life.

2]The next thing which make Singapore my home a special place to stay is the facilites, such as playground and other spots corner. During my free time, I like to play in these places. It helps you keep fit, helthy and muscular.

3] Last but not least, the things which makes me happy and enjoy life is doing my favourite things. I love my hobbies such as Art and Craft and going for shopping buying my collectable keychains. Doing this helps me chill ou and relax. When I do Art and Craft, I love to make my favourite things like decorating my files, pencils and others..[ect...]

These are the things which makes me feel happy and enjoy life. Through these, I will be able to sort my daily plan out by having a time to study and give my 1oo% effort. Not only that a time to rest and play after a long day, by doing these, all of us will stay mentally stable and helps us stay put on one thing at a time.

THANK YOU
AND HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!

Iam a happy and positive child because I have a healthy and happy family . Things that give me happiness are spending time with my family , such as playing family games because my dad is not home very often and when he is home he is often busy . When I am alone i find happiness in making things to play with or just for projects , I really like DIY things . I also like playing computer games , often introduced to me by my cousin.

Faithe Wong 5 Graciousness said...

Most of the time, I am very happy and positive. When I hang out with my friends during the school holidays or after-school-hours, it brings me happiness as I am able to talk, play and do work with them. When I play family games with my family, it brings me happiness too as I love spending my time with my family. Going to the library also brings me happiness as I love reading. It helps me to relax and allows me to have a break from schoolwork. I think I am not an unhappy person. Instead, I think I am a very positive and cheery person. I hope the rest of you are a positive and happy person like me!

Goh Ling Yi 5 Graciousness said...

I am not very happy. I don't like staying at home because no one is considerate and just scolds me but I do not really care about it. The main thing is that I prefer staying in school because I have my friends that will support me. So, actually, it is alright to say that I feel unhappy at home but happy at school. I feel happy when my wishes come true, and when I get the things that I want, or win a contest or a competition. I feel happy when my friends tell me secrets or even get into deep conversations with me too. Sometimes, my friends ignore me and I feel a little unhappy, but I know they are still my friends because I believe in them, and I know they will not betray me. Sometimes, only sometimes, my family members will be nice and caring, but then start scolding me again. I am overall still not a happy person, but I should appreciate what I have right now. I am also not a very optimistic or positive person. Thank You for reading.

Naturally, I am a happy-go-lucky person but I am not happy everyday.
Whenever I accomplish something good, I feel happy and proud of myself.I love to play the piano. I always feel relaxed and happy when I play the piano.It always makes me happy when I learn how to play a famous song like Pink Panther or Joy to The World......because I feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. I feel really proud and happy when I create a piece of good or nicely decorated work.
During the school holidays, I went to China,Beijing and really enjoyed myself.What made me really happy and proud of myself was when I climbed the Great Wall of China all the way to the second station! I felt very proud and happy I climbed so high up when the steps was so steep. Last year, my church brought us to Universal Studios.I was very excited and happy that I could go there. A week before christmas last year, I got a brand new phone! I was very excited to play with it, It was the best christmas present that year.

Wong Yu Shuang 5 Graciousness said...

I am very happy and feel very positive.Whenever I read my book, it will usually bring me happiness as I can relax myself by reading, taking away all my worries.
For example, in band, I am currently a section leader and I am proud of that, being in charge of the section was a responsibility I could exercise regularly.
During the school holidays, my family and I went to Taiwan for a holiday. I was elated upon hearing the news and immediately told my friends. Ive always wanted to know where they were going, out of curiosity.Upon knowing, I jumped in excitement, my friend was going to Taiwan but not on the same date. Its okay. At least she was going to the same country with me!Maybe we were even going to the same place!
There was an article on the newspaper about the earthquake in Japan.I was devastated by the news and heartened by doctors, nurses and especially, the volunteers. Even if some people could not afford to go to Japan, the most they could do was to donate their money to them.I was happy and proud Singapore was able to do that.

Clarence Yeo 5 Graciousness said...

I do not feel very happy as the work for the Primary 5 is a lot more difficult than the work in Primary 4.

What makes me happy is playing badminton. When I play badminton, it takes my mind off the stress of my work. During the school holidays, my mom enrolled me to some badminton lessons. Over there, they taught me new techniques that I can use.

Another thing I like is P.E. . What I like about P.E. is when we play ball games. I like them because I can cooperate with my friends and work out a strategy to beat the opponent team. I like it as it uses the value of teamwork. It also helps us exercises our body and keeps me fit.

The last thing I like is reading. Reading helps me to improve on my English and my knowledge. My favorite kind books are the fiction books. I like them because they are very interesting and exciting.

Maida 5 Respect said...

So, my first is dancing, I take hip-hop and jazz ballet but I am hoping for lyrical and ballet and a techniques class to learn the steps better. I love dancing because it is my passion and my mom also said that I was born to dance because whenever I got bored when I was 3 up till now, I would put on music and dance around or do some gymnastics. Then it would be going out with friends or just inviting them over because I think that friends are very important in life. I also like going out with my parents but it is not as fun. My favourite time was when I invited my friend over from a different school and her name is Isabel. We had a blast painting our nails and drawing designs on them on them, doing each other's hair, trying on make up and just having fun. Lastly, what makes me happy is making over stuff like hair and even re-doing my room. I like it because sometimes, I feel that I have changed a bit of my style and I like to make my things more me and so sometimes it just is not me anymore so I like to change around. My parents also make me happy but I feel that that is too obvious.

Azel Titt 5 Respect said...

I'm a very happy because Singapore is a safe country.one reason why I feel happy is because our country is racial harmony country,and we respect those sick/crazy people although their mental as like helping them and not mocking them like if they stutter you don't go and mimic them cause it's very insulting to the sick/mental students /peoples.Second reason why I feel happy in Singapore is because of kind people around us in our neighborhood or around your block and some people even gives you treat.The last reason why I like Singapore is because we play all kinds of different sports like(Soccer(which is my favorite sport),Rugby,Badminton,Table Tennis).That is the reason why I like Singapore.

Chloe Wang 5compassion said...

What can bring happiness to you?For me , there is a lot of things can bring happiness to me .Such as these three things:
First thing is when I watch movie with my family, I will feel very happy,because when we finish a movie , we always will share our feelings about the movie ,that is fun !
Second thing is in the past, when I stay in China,the most happy thing is every Saturday and sunday , I always went to my grandparents' home to meet my cousin. She is twelve years old ,too.She is my cousin but also is my good friend! We like to play games together,and talk some funny things in my school and her school .She always can bring happiness to me!
Third thing can bring happiness to me is play guzhen,because it always can let me forget all trouble,only focus in the tune.play guzhen also can makes my parents feel happy.
Are we so unhappy? I think no , do not always think how unhappy are you,that only will bring trouble to you. Everyone will have happy thing in your life,try to think and try to bring happiness to yourself!

My first experience was when my family and I went to Sentosa's S.E.A. Oceanarium,it was so awesome!I saw lots of anchovies swirling up in what was called a bait ball! A habitat there was based on the fish that could be found on the shores of Singapore,amazingly, my favourite fish, the cleaner wrasse was there, cleaner wrasse,as you can tell by the name, is like a cleaning station,cleaning up fish, dolphins and even sharks!Boy those fish are brave!A huge relative, the rare napoleon wrasse, was there too!The only problem was that in the ocean habitat, the fish tend to stay on top,so really you can not see the fish.What's worse is that,when divers feed the fish, they feed them all the way at the back so you can't see!

So then we went off to Adventure Cove. I quickly grabbed a buoy and splashed into Adventure River where there are an amazing fourteen themes! Next I went to Rainbow reef, the water is not as clean as it looks. We went snorkeling with twenty-thousand fish. After that I dashed to a daredevil obstacle course with four-meter deep water, so first i went to the low diving board and jumped, jumping and fall! Ouch! I then proceeded to the balancing board. We had to walk across the swimming pool on a very thin rubber board, on a rope and on a tyre bridge. It was so exciting!!

Next I went to the ultimate challenge obstacle. Here I had to climbed a rope of about 4 metres and rang a bell (which was hung to an artificial tree).

Last but not least I had to overcome my fear of heights and make my way up the hydro-magnetic water slides. I had to travel up the travellator while sitting on my buoy with a constant thought 'what if i fall down?!' I soon came to the beginning of the slide before entering a dark, long hole. It took a few seconds for me to come out into the open ... but it seems like forever! Then I slide down from the top expecting myself to fall out half way. That was when the hydro-magnetic sucked me up the tube and released me out into the open again! It was so much worse this round as the speed of the water was tremendous. I felt like my head was going to hit the top of the tube.

After that day at Adventure Cove and SEA Oceanarium, I was very satisfied and happy.

Richard Tan Tonhardt said...

I will be happy when I get what I want whenever I fell like.Last time I wanted a guitar but my mum say i can only get it after the exam.After the exam i got the guitar.Secondly I went to play in a theme park up in the hill where there was a hotel and I stayed there for a 3 day 2 night trip it was very fun as there was a outdoor theme park and a indoor one as well.I played the roller coaster and the free fall.The indoor theme park had two roller coaster and the most fun thing in the indoor theme park was the bumper car.Lastly I will go to Sweden every two years as my grandparents live there.When i don't go to Sweden my grandparents will come to
Singapore.The weather there is
cold.The best thing is the hot chocolate and marsh mellows it was the best thing i tasted in my life.

Wei Liang, 5 Respect said...

The first experience is when I got my award from MOE, I was very happy at that moment, I was on cloud 9 and, they said that I had a cheque and a certificate. And that was really cool. The second thing is that I get to go to the second class in the primary 5 classes and only the top 40-80 can go there. And I am one of them. The third thing is I got the newest "Pokemon" DS cartridge. It is 'Pokemon White 2". After I got the cartridge, I started playing it. It was so fun that I kept playing it. These three things make me very happy. We must be happy. Or else, we would have very very bad days, things that can make us happy comes very less in life by luck. But you can make it happen very frequently. So in order to make yourself happy, you must smile and be very happy.

Josh 5 respect said...

I feel happy and I am not very positive, I am always negative.My parents always tell me to be more positive but it is hard to change to being positive when you already got used to being negative.When my parents bring me out or buy things for me I always feel happy and thank them when we come back.I feel happy even just by helping my parents cook and fold the clothes.Thank you!

keefe chua 5respect said...

I am very happy with my life but not positive for my future. I meant anything could happen in the future......What brings me happiness? I think spending time with my family and friends can bring me happiness you feel very happy when you are with your family and friends. 1st example: I love to go to fly kites with my family. Lying on the ground watching the clouds and kites in the sky.2nd example: Going to the movies is also an “example” of making me happy. Sitting back and watching the movie that is showing.3rd experience going to the fish spa at Qian Hu fish farm

Nadiah 5 Respect said...

I am very very happy because I get to be in the same class as my sister, I get to go to school to learn. I also have lovely wonderful family who are very supportive. I get to go to the second best class. That makes me happy. My parents also help provide me with food, provide me with shelter and shower me with love. I am also happy because I can always see my sister. In class and out of class. I also get kind teachers. (Last year also.) I also sometimes feel a bit down whenever I don't get good marks for exams or tests but I will always try to score better marks.

Dira 5 Respect said...

I am extremely happy. What makes me happy? First of all, I have a wonderful family. I do not have to worry about the food and shelter because my parents are very supportive and do not ask much from me. I feel really lucky not like other people. Unfortunately, it is a little pitiful. Anyway, I also have a great education and I am always looking forward to school so I can learn! I like studying. I also look forward to coming back from school as I can spend a little bit of time with my family and after I have finished with my homework, I can play games ( for 30 minutes as I have to take turns with my sister.) At the end of the day, I can sleep after many hours of staying awake. I do feel tired when I wake up early in the morning to get ready for school and I do feel unhappy about it, but I still feel grateful for what I have been given. Sometimes, I do feel down like whenever I do not score well for any subject, but I am determined to work harder and be the best! that is all I guess.

Catherine Amara (5Respect) said...

I am very happy because I have a great family and many close friends in school. When I have difficulties, I will look at the bright side and ask the teacher or my friends for help.That is why I am very happy and positive.
The happiest experience is when I am travelling. So far, I have travelled to Japan, Korea, Australia, Hong Kong and Europe. When I travel, I learn about the different cultures, eat a variety of scrumptious food and also appreciate the beautiful scenery of different countries.
The next experience that I enjoy is swimming in my house.In the december holidays,I swam with my brother,sister and father. I like swimming because it makes me stay in top shape and also it makes me fresh.
The last experience is admiring my fishes in the aquarium. I enjoy it because it makes me feel peaceful and the colorful scales on their body. I have different types of fishes. For example,guppies,shrimps,angel fish and many more.
All this experience brings me happiness!

Tan Owen 5 Graciousness said...

Many have wondered what brings us happiness. To me, happiness is all around us, as long as we make our working and playing environment filled with positive energy. To say how happy one is, it is almost impossible to tell,but a happy person, such as myself, can always be caught being happy among friends. Friends are the basic building blocks for being a happy person.
I would like to talk about what makes me happy. There are three things that makes me happy: helping others, bonding with friends and spending time with my family. I love helping out around the school. As a prefect, I get multiple task from teachers that I will gladly accept. Bonding with friends is a good way to be happy as our happiness can off each other and in the end all be happy! Lastly, bonding with parents is, to me, the most important way of being happy. Spending time with parents or relatives brings out a very vibrant an positive environment. It could be a family gathering or just a simple visit to one another's house. It's the thought that counts.

Tung Sze Lin 5 Graciousness said...

I am very happy. I am positive when doing daily worksheets but lesser positive when it comes to examinations.
When I am doing some work, like homework, exercise book, past year questions or drawing, it brings me happiness. But, I do not like to do too many workbooks or homework or a whole bunch of work at one time.
When I am interacting with Lego bricks, it brings me happiness. I like building with bricks and building a whole house with furniture inside it.
When my parents are free, it brings me happiness because we can play card games like ‘Happy Family’, ‘Donkey’ and ‘Old Maid’. We can also play board games like ‘Chess’. Sometimes, we will chat while we are watching television.

Jaren 5Graciousness said...

To me, happiness is all in the mind. In Singapore, most of us have not experience war. We have food on our table, roofs over our heads, schools to go to get educated and clean water to drink. That's basic happiness to me.

On a secondary level, one of the things that make me happy is the December holidays. Then, I can play computer games and watch television programmes without worrying about school homework and studies. December holidays also makes me happy because that’s the period where my family travels overseas. It is then I get to see difficult cultures and taste different types of food.

The other thing that makes me happy is going to school. Although, I dislike school work, I like spending time with my friends. We talk, laugh, play, argue, and even, get scolded together.

Last but not least, I like to watch documentaries about animals. In particular I like lions because they are very strong and they fight for they want, whether it is about food or for mating rights.

These are the little things that make me happy.

James pai gunawan 5Graciousness said...

I am happy in Singapore but sometimes in other countries or cities i can also be happier like for example America because in Singapore sometimes some people can be rude.some things that make me happy are just relaxing and lying down on a bed and do nothing, i also can have happiness from reading books and playing in parks such as Sentosa. another thing that brings me hapiness is playing computer in a way because some times when i am depressed i will just sit down in front of the computerand start playing it.examples are like when i was ordering my food in the food court then the person ath the stall was just yelling at me very rudely so i just stay calm and say ok and go back to the table and stay calm and do nothing, another example is when i was bored and walking around the room in frustration then i could always play a bit of computer or read a book.I will also like to desire to go to parks such as water parks, amusement parks E.T.C,so i never say no to a little fun to do.

Michelle Chew 5 Graciousness said...

I am a very happy child. If you see me in school I am a quiet child who sometimes talks a lot. In fact I talk a lot on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There was one time I was playing Ding-Dong game with a group of 13-19 year olds. You may think that they are too old but they are not as old as you think. The Ding-Dong is a confusing game. When someone does something wrong everyone including the wrongdoer will laugh so loud that one person will cry. There is also many times that my sister and mother will help me buy food and force me to sit down. I think that is a way for them to show love to me and I feel happy. I also feel happy because my neighborhood is very quiet and a safe place and the playground is fun too.

Ho Sze Yuan 5 Graciousness said...

How positive or happy I am depends on the situation,here are a few examples: during an examination, I don't know the answer to a few questions , I skip those questions and I don't have enough time to complete my work, I would become less positive, but when I help others, receive words of gratitude and encouragement I become more positive. I get happy when things go my way, when good things happen to me or to others and when I can relax with nothing to do. Some examples are when the examinations are over so there no lessons or homework and there is the December holidays to look forward to, during Christmas and my birthday I get Christmas and birthday presents and when I am allowed to do what I really want to do.

glen tan said...

I agree that Singaporeans are unhappy because i am one of them. I am unhappy because of the never-ending homework and pressure.
holiday should be strictly no homework and tuition so that students can completely relax and play.

I will feel more happy if i can play computer eveveryday.

Happiness to me is to be able to eat, play, talk, joke and do lots more with your family.I believe that it does not matter where you are or what you eat, as long as a family is united together, it brings a person happiness. Being with my family does not mean that my family must be on a holiday overseas or go to a posh restaurant for dinner. Even if my family goes to a food court for dinner,it can actually make my day as we are a family, all united.
Being happy requires you to look at the bright side too at some point of time. For example, my teacher had chided me for not handing up my homework up on time. If others were in my shoes, in their mind, they might have been thinking why did the teacher scold me, I don't like this teacher. However, if everyone could look at this situation from a different perspective, the teacher was actually right and at the same time taught you a lesson. For me, every time I learn something new, it brings me happiness. Just by looking at things from a different perspective, you can easily be happy!
Being able to help someone also brings me happiness. For example, when a classmate of yours come across a question that he/she is unsure of, teaching he/she how to solve it makes your day too.Just by saying a simple 'thank you' warms your heart and also keep your smile there the whole day. See the amazing power of the word 'thank you'?
I believe that as long as a person appreciates what he/she has, a smile will appear on their faces everyday!

I am not very positive that I am happy as:1st my brothers irritate me a lot,2nd I keep losing things,3rd my father keeps going on business trips and I see him on Saturdays and Sundays only.

Seah Sze Herng 5 Graciousness said...

I am not totally happy or positive. Thinking about memorable incidents and thinking positively brings me happiness. For example, thinking back of my kindergarten days, that was fun and interesting. Like one incident, one of my classmates provoked a big hermit crab [very fierce ,hot-tempered] and got
pinched on his knee. When we went to a fish farm, we were given the chance to catch our own fish.
Before catching my own fish, I dipped my net into the carp fish pond, and to my astonishment, they tried to nibble at the net as if it was food .Plus, we were given a free goldfish.
As for our graduation concert, it was the most worthy and memorable event for me to remember in my kindergarten days. It was the first time that I had to wear graduation hat.

1) I get happiness when I get high marks for my exams. As I have high marks, you can be in the better classes and get rewarded by teachers.
2) Another reason I get happiness is when I do things that I like. The examples are

1. playing computer games
2. less homework
3. playing soccer and badminton
4.doing homework on the computer
5. rewarded by the teachers

3) The last reason get happiness is when I win games such as badminton and soccer because when you win a game you feel so happy that you do not know how to express it. Such as like I play badminton, and I and win competitions, I feel more happy than ever. In soccer, when you score a goal you want to celebrate the goal by doing a high-five with your teammates.

This is what that bring me happiness in my everyday life.

Sometimes I am happy but sometimes I am not. Shopping at Smiggle , sei mon cho and Sticky , playing with my friends and family , playing computer games , playing my iPad and experimenting in the toilet basin brings me happiness. One example of unhappiness is when I have to clean the toilet basin after dirtying it with my experiments. An example of happiness is when I manage to conduct my experiment without dirtying the basin so I do not have to clean it. Yay! Another example of unhappiness is when my brother bullies me. He hit me , I hit him and it goes on and on like forever. I think I am usually more happy than unhappy because I would rather look on the bright side than the dark side.

Personally i think i am a happy person as i do not get upset easily.The three things that make me happy are spending time with my family,getting good results for my exams and playing with my friends or family

Soh Jian Hao 5Graciousness said...

I am very happy and positive. Giving my seat to an elderly or a pregnant woman on the bus or train will bring me happiness as I have helped a person that needs help. Helping my friend when they need help with his homework will bring me happiness as I have helped my friend solved their problems.
Looking after my younger brother and helping my mother with the house chores will bring me happiness as i have helped my mother eased her workload.

Matthias 5 Graciousness said...

I am most of the time happy and most of the time positive.Usually gifts,presents and being able to play brings me happiness.Example when I get something I really want as a gift or present I will be very happy and keep playing it.Another example is when I have no homework or chores to do,I can play with my neighbours for a while.Third example is when I it is a Friday,I will try to finish all my homework on Friday so that I can play games at home over the weekend,go out to have fun at places like Sentosa or go shopping.

Well I am very happy living in Singapore because there are many kind and helpful people. There was one time on my way back from the national library,I was carrying a lot of book and suddenly I tripped and fell, all the books in my hand slipped out and I was wounded. A lady saw it and rushed over to help me and she also bought me to a nearby pharmacy. Another example is that some Singaporeans are very polite, whenever I help someone they will never fail to say thank you. The last example is that many Singaporeans respect other races.In my eleven years I have been alive I have never seen someone who look down upon other races everyone I know are not racist or something like that that is why I enjoy living in Singapore.

Well I love living in Singapore and am very happy.What makes me happy is that a lot of Singaporeans are very kind and helpful, I had one experience one year ago when I was p4. I was on my way back from the national library, when I fell and hurt my knee, the books in my hands had also dropped out . A lady that was passing by saw it and went to help me she was also very kind and brought me to a nearby pharmacy.Another example of why I am happy living in Singapore is because of my friends they are always there for me.The last example that I am happy in Singapore is that how people do not look down upon others and that is why I love and is happy to live in Singapore

i am happy and positive,the things that bring happiness to me are making frinds and doing the things we are interested in.Other than that,I also like to do things that are related to art example drawing,painting,making keychain and making rubber art! I am also happy and greatful because my parent are healthy and can afford me the toys I want to buy.I am also greatful because they can afford to put me in school,to learn new things and the values that the school thought me and the students of BTPS.
the three examples or experiences are
-spending time with my family
-receiving presents from my family for my birthday
-watching funny animation proggrames

I am Happy!Everything around me makes me happy. Sometimes you just have to look at the positive side of things.Examples:
1)When you are in a vey long line of people to buy food at a hawker center after jogging. What would I think? I have 5 mins to rest.YEAH!
2)When you are in the hospital after breaking a leg? What would I think?I get a free TV and free food for a few days.YEAH!
3)When I'm stuck at home with HFMD?
I get to not go to school!(haha)YEAH!

Chung Jia Xuan 5 Graciousness said...

I am in the Chinese Dance CCA. It made me happy that I could be one of the main dancers with a girl I had for an idol since primary one for the SYF.
Last year, I got a seventy for the Math CA2. It was the lowest in class. I felt that if I work harder, I would be able to do better the next time. This made me feel positve and work harder for the next time.
It also made me happy that I could be second in class and best in Chinese language. I hope that I could do the same this year.
I feel that what brings me happiness is achievement and we should be positive towards all failures whether small or big.

Lim Eunchan 5 Graciousness said...

I am quite positive. I do not worry and I always look for a solution. For example if the sky is not so clear and my brother has a swimming lesson, most of the times he will not go. But for me, I often encourage him to go as it might not rain. It is always good to stay positive as you do not know what might happen in the future. Another example is when you are in a situation where by you have zero percentage finishing something you still try to finish it. For example if you are in a test and you do not know a certain question. Try not to leave it blank but trying to fit some answer in. Like, if it is a MCQ question try to put the most appropriate number as your answer. The last example I am going to share is to never give up. You may never know what will happen in what place or in what time so never give up. Thank you^^

Tan En Ting 5 Adaptability said...

Not really positive and happy all the time unless someone makes me happy with a joke or something.Sometimes I play games and read books or maybe even watch television
1.Play games that you like
2.Read something interesting or books that you like just borrow from the library
3.Watch something funny
4.Share some jokes with friends and make them laugh together with you
5.Sleep and forget the bad things or just tell your friends,teachers or family your problems
But as for me I don't but I just keep it in my heart if you don't say it out you might feel a little bad and you will not be able to take it anymore so just say it out

Soffiyah 5 Adaptability said...

I am happy and positive. There are many other things that brings happiness to me. These are some examples that brings happiness to me:

1)My school is exciting and makes us learn a lot in a fun way.
2) I can play games on weekends except if the exams are coming.
3) I have lots of friends which are friendly, kind and exciting!

I have more experiences that brings happiness to me. The most thing that brings me happiness is playing games. Although I like playing games I should reduce the time of playing games and start studying. I think being happy is such a wonderful emotion. I am glad to respond to this question. :)

Tan En Ting 5 Adaptability said...

I'm not really positive but I'm happy most of the times.Sometimes when people share jokes and those it will bring me happiness those who share happiness are the ones who are joyous to me.
Example:
1.Look at the funny pictures that you and your family took when you were small
2.If you have a diary read the funny ones that you have written down
3.Call your friends to share the jokes or happy things in mind so that you can share the happiness

Experience:
1.Try to remember funny things or memories such as laughing with your friends over a joke
2.Try to watch something funny on the television or watch a video
3.Try to watch funny shows and jokes call your friends and share it with them

But normally I just forget about it and look at the blue sky when it is blue I will be happy when it is dark I won't be really happy my mood just changes at times

Ms Wu 5 Adaptability said...

Hi Soffiyah,

Im glad you have many things in your life which make you happy. I am also glad being in school is one of them. Can you share an example of what makes you happy in class?

Soffiyah 5 Adaptability said...

In class the things that makes me happy is doing group activities, projects and art and crafts.

Unknown said...

I am quite positive.My first thing that brings me happiness is i play board games with my father like monopoly ,chess or puzzles.I like them because they take my mind off things.The second thing that brings me happiness is listening to music and singing along.It makes me happy as it keeps my mind of unhappiness or anything.the third thing is watching televition as it rests my mind and makes me laugh.

Dylan Kennard / 5Graciousness said...

I am happy with my life and I am also positive with the things that I do. If I get scolded by someone, I will take it as a lesson learnt. Like what Henry David Thoreau says,"All misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune."

Here are also some examples that make my life happy, meaningful, and great:
1. Meeting friends in school
2. Having a brother that always make me smile
3. Doing sports, like PE, etc.
4. Reading a book
5. Talking to a family member like my dad

We should always be positive and not fearing for our future. We should always be happy and not be depressed.

prabhakar 5 Graciousness said...

I am positive most of the time as i play computer games and talk to my father about my troubles and we try to solve the problem together. I also play chess with my father and chess teaches you how to solve a problem.i watch funny videos on television and videos that make me laugh and watch him do funny things and laugh at him and i think there is always a solution to a problem

Tan Yee Min 5 Graciousness said...

I am a very happy person although I am not really positive. Usually when I get angry or sad, it does not continues. To be happy,
1) Think positively
2) Watch or recall a very funny or cute show
3) Read up or watch a joke and share it withe your friends
4) For people who likes music, you can listen to some music
And lastly, for those bookworms, you can read some story books.
To me, what I a real happiness
1) School is a fun place to learn and to play
2) Making more friends is as important as my studies
3) We do not buy happiness
4) Reading books or listening to music
5) Since I like playing games, I will play them oftenly after I have finished all my work
I feel that every single problem has a solution to it.
Example, when you do not know the answer to the question, you do not just skip it. You find or even worse, guess the answer
I hope that the people reading this will stay positive. Never give up everybody.
Thanks^^

i am very happy because i like my new teacher and classroom.i am comfortable with what we do in our class room.

Tan Yu Hang 5 Graciousness said...

I am a very positive person.I will try to find a solution if there is a problem.One example of me being happy is when me and my family went to this temple and we were helping out.I was helping the people there by carrying some small statues.After I carried most of them,this uncle which I know gave me a red packet filled with over fifty dollars.I was so happy and all the hard work was worth it.The next example is about me being positive.Last time I used to swim.My coach will sometimes throw some pebbles into the water.Then, he tells me to take them.I dive in and then take them.Sometimes it is very difficult but I tell myself to be positive and never give up.In the end,I pick them all up. The last example is about the NAPFA trial yesterday.When I was at the last lap,I had already used up almost all of my energy but all my friends cheered me up so I tell myself to be positive and never give up.I use all my remaining energy and charge towards the finish line.

Thank You

Clint Lim 5 Graciousness said...

I think what makes us happy is what we find fun,like playing video games,it's what I mostly do after I have done my homework, which brings me happiness.But mostly my life is locked because of my sister,who locks eveything that I often use.I have used my family's Ipad 2 hours once and also I have played minecraft on the computer for a long time until I had to go to sleep.I also had played my cousin's PlayStation 3 and I had so much fun until I had to go and cut my hair.But overall in conclusion I am a happy kid because this computer that I am typing on right now is now unlocked and is the one where I play minecraft on.

Derek Kiang (5 Respect) said...

I am happy and positive.I usually do not worry about anything.My first experience is I had gotten a letter from MOE.The letter said that I had made improvement in my examinations last year,I will be receiving a cheque ,just like Wei Liang.When I heard that news,I was tremendously esctatic.The second experience is I had went to Gold Coast for the holidays and we were there for 6-7days.The adventures were tremendously exciting and the people there were kind and friendly to us they were really tremendously polite.The third experience is that I am happy to be a Singaporean .Singapore is safe and all Singaporeans should be lucky for what they have.Singapore is a safe and lovely country,not like some countries do not have food and water.We must not waste food.

The things that brings me happiness is splashing paint , reading storybooks and eating.
1)I splash paint whenever I find myself useless or being bulied by someone this makes me feel happier in a sense
2)I read story books when I have nothing to do, I will get annoyed if I can't find any.Reading storybooks also helps to improve English
3)Eating helps me to get more active and energetic when I feel sleepy
anywhere.I believe happiness is when I feel energetic and active
There is still some thing that also brings me happiness which is your health.Being healthy ,I can do any thing I want!

Karin 5 Graciousness said...

I am happy overall but except for some unhappy things that we should not dwell on. I'm not really that positive but also not pessimistic. As sometimes i will think of some negative things.

What makes me happy, hmmm.....? My family as they are always at my side whenever anything happens. Example: when I am studying for exams, they will keep cheering me on.

My friends bring me happiness they are like family. We can share secrets, have fun and keep us company. They feel very close to us though they are just friends.

My favourite things bring me happiness when I look at them. They make me happy. I see that there are a lot of things that bring us happiness. Being positive also brings us happiness in a way.

Sometimes we have postivte and negative feeling.

I feel negative when I have stressed.I were overcome by going swimming and listening to some peaceful music.Sometimes you have to just go though a aradous time.

I feel Postivite when I have permission to play, go out, ahve fun time and more postivite things.When we feel postivite, we are happy and calm.Just dont study too much or else you have stress.

Ask yourself:
1)How do you overcome your negative feeling?
2)When do you felt postivite?

Ku TaeLin, 6 Respect
Well, I must admit that I am not the happiest person in this world.But this is true;
a person can never survive without happiness.But if you does not have happiness and you survived, that says you do not have a feelings.
Even though you can be angry, you should not harm the others.To calm down myself, I use these way:
[1]Take a deep breath.[2]Go out of your home for a walk.[3]Share with the others. But I must admit I often gets angry, but I should try not to as if you frown too much, there are toxic substance formed that can kill an adult.

The second thing that makes me happy is when I listen to my favourite music . It makes me clam down .
The third thing that makes me happy is when I get to read my favourite book . I am always engrossed in the book that I am reading. It makes me happy when there is a happy ending.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the happiest and the most positive, I would be somewhere between 7.5 to 8. The first thing that makes me happy is when I am fencing. Fencing is my favorite sport. It makes me happy as I get to fence with challenging opponents and when I win against them I would feel ecstatic. The second thing which made me happy was when my family and I went to Korea. We got to try many different kinds of Korean dishes and play with snow. And the third thing that makes me happy is when I do well for my exams. I would be happy because all the hard work pays off and I also get rewarded for doing well.

I think that Singaporeans are unhappy because Singapore’s economy is growing strong, people will be working long hours. We tend to always think negatively as we have many risks such as losing jobs, more need of money to maintain living conditions etc.
I hope that Singaporeans will be more positive in the future.
