(a) My task: Learning Korean

(b) What I enjoyed doing the most and why: Learning Korean was hard and to be honest I didn’t learn much words but I enjoyed writing the words. The words are like Chinese. This help me to improve my handwriting. I watch kdrama and my idols reality show and I found out that they use different words that have the same meaning at different situation.

Like example: hello

When we want to say hello to our relatives or strangers we say Annyeonghaseyo. When we want to say hello a close friend we can just say annyeong. When we want to say hello to the person that called you we say yeoboseyo.

The words I learnt during SIL:

Meal: 식사

Sorry: 죄송합니다

Apple: 사과

(a) My task: Learning how to do embroidery. There are a lot of types of embroidery but I decided to learn how to do punch needle embroidery.

(b)What I enjoyed the most and why: I enjoyed the part when I finally got the hang of it as it took awhile to learn. I also failed multiple times before getting the hang of it so I was very happy when I managed to do it correctly.

2023-10-20 00:34:46 UTC

I learnt how to ride a bike and I have been riding it since May

2023-10-20 01:29:03 UTC

What I enjoy the most about badminton is that it is fun and enjoyable when hitting the shuttlecock. It is also a great way to help me stay active. Throughout the days, I kept on improving every week.

2023-10-20 04:06:46 UTC

My SIL project is calisthenics.
I enjoy it due to the various amount of exercises it contains. Exercising at home relieves my stress too. The amount of body control it takes also fascinate me. The feeling of satisfaction after ‘unlocking’ different types of level or skills. I’ve learnt the elbow lever, and shows the comparison of before and after learning it.

I enjoy the most is playing 8 ball pool with my friends, working on improving my skills and learning how to use the pool stick effectively.

2023-10-20 07:30:48 UTC

1. I chose dancing for my SIL project for the year as i always enjoy and interested in dancing(but it’s not good) but i don’t have time to learn it therefore i take this chance to get to learn the different kpop dances that are newly released, i’m interested in or i just like the song and it’s not that hard to learn. For dances that are hard to learn the whole song, i just dance to its chorus as it is the catchy part and also the easier part of the dance :)
2. I enjoyed the learning process of this SIL Project the most. Since i’m interested in dancing, firstly i would definitely enjoy the process and secondly i try my best to learn the dance and do to my very best. Even though i always sweat like crazy after every SIL session, i feel a sense of accomplishment everytime i finish the dance. Through this, i learn to persevere even when facing difficulties and never give up easily😇

(a)My task:

read a philosophy book

(b）What I enjoyed doing and the most and why:

Reading a philosophy book helps me answer abstract questions. Reading philosophy help me to think independently. I enjoy reading it as I can be exposed to a variety of different viewpoints and thoughts, thus helping me make smart decisions.

2023-10-20 08:03:20 UTC

1. I chose photography as my sil project this year as I always had an interest in cameras. I used a dslr camera to take the pictures.
2. I enjoyed exploring the different type of modes and methods to take pictures on my camera as it helped me to elevate and make the pictures look cleaner and nicer. I feel a sense of satisfaction after seeing the results.

ess12012e — 2023-10-20 08:23:13 UTC

my task: reading the whole series
i have always enjoyed reading. reading has helped me to improve my vocabulary. it improved the way on how i express what i read. it helps me to analyze the paragraphs which helps to enhance my understanding on the story
the reason why i enjoy reading is because it’s very relaxing and it calms me down. when i start reading anything, i wouldn’t want to stop reading because i would be too curious to stop reading unless i really have to. it also cures my boredom whenever i have nothing to do

2023-10-20 08:34:28 UTC

Interior designing definitely piqued my curiosity and I was really curious about how interior designers work on a daily basis. Thus, it led me to find out more and experience it🔥 Throughout this fulfilling experience, I achieved an even better understanding of their job. Furthermore, I really enjoyed how furnitures can be placed at different positions, but also each adds its own unique flavour to the overall presentation of a living space. This experience provided me with an excellent platform for my creativity to flourish while I tried out different themes on different models. For example, the example given above was inspired by the theme “chequered”😻

2023-10-20 08:41:49 UTC

i chose piano as my sil as i hv alw had an interest in piano. i enjoyed it as i could learn smth new👍

2023-10-20 08:45:50 UTC

My task was to build this figuring. What I like doing the most is the lion head as it is quite similar to the real lion dance head and I love lion dance. In addition, the bricks are also different from lego as the bricks does not only stack on each other, they can be slided into each other together side by side. The experience was different when in compared to building a lego set and this figurine.

2023-10-20 09:05:00 UTC

for my SIL I choose to learn how to draw as I find it interesting. I have never liked drawing as I couldn't do it but after some time I found it relaxing. drawing helps cope with my stress and anxiety. I would love to go into more details on how to draw and I also appreciate my sister for helping me on how to draw.

2023-10-20 09:53:40 UTC

Now I rarely read a book since I find books boring. But i took the quest to read a book titled: THE HUNGER GAMES. Now there’s three parts with three books. Turns out books are not boring at all. I read this book every SIL lessons and also during my free time. It is a very attractive book with interesting story

ess31196f — 2023-10-20 13:30:10 UTC

I did running for my SIL, and I enjoyed it since it trains my stamina and improves my timings for the runs of different distances and releases my stress too, one thing I learnt from this is that the improvements in timings may just be a few seconds which seems minimal but actually matters a lot

Crocheting

2023-10-20 14:30:30 UTC

I’ve started crocheting only after EOY exams, I’ve always wanted to have a beanie but I realised I have the materials to crochet. So I ended up with this! This beanie wld be my favourite project 🔥

for my SIL task, i chose to play football and work on my dribbling and skills. before i joined evergreen secondary school, i was always made fun off for my terrible performance in casual football and there was noone pushing me to improve myself.

however, eversince i joined evergreen secondary, the 'football during recess' community welcomed me well when i first came to play football with them. Shavin was the first person to introduce me to the footballers during recess and they gave me a chance to show my performance. i was definitely hesitant at first but when i made mistakes, they were very supportive about it and told me i had so much potential to be among the better players in evergreen secondary.

eversince then, i enjoyed playing more football and always tried to better myself. since i play either a left-midfielder or a left-winger, i mostly try to practice skills to beat my defenders in different ways. anyways heres a picture of me slide tackling Shavin since i dont have a recording of my skills. (humbled 🥱🥱🤫🤫🤫🙊🙊🙊)

ye_liyuan — 2023-10-23 02:39:48 UTC

For this year’s SIL i have learnt how to solve a 4x4 rubik’s cube. I enjoyed the process of finding out different ways to solve it, being able to see the timing of each solve decrease as i am able to solve it progressively faster.

For my SIL I learn all the proper forms for Squats , Bench , Deadlift (SBD). What I enjoyed most was the satisfaction of going from not even being able to bench press the bar which is 20 kg to benching 50kg now. I enjoy gyming because it is a stress relief for me as well and I found joy and peace while gyming with my friends.
Squat 90kg
Bench 50kg
Deadlift 110kg

1.My SIL project is to learn the French language as I thought it was intriguing and I am very interested in the French culture.
2.the one thing I enjoyed about learning the french language is that the spelling is somewhat similar to English which makes it easier for me learning something that I have barely any knowledge of.it was enjoyable to learn something foreign.

2023-10-23 04:52:40 UTC

i chose piano as my sil as i always had an interest in learning and playing the piano. my biggest difficulty was getting both my hands to coordinate as i always messed up the notes but through long hours of practice, i managed to get them to coordinate. i enjoyed playing after i finished learning everything as i felt very accomplished and satisfied with how my playing turned out

running

2023-10-25 03:08:54 UTC

ever since primary 4 i enjoy being called fast, it motivates me to run even faster than before which made me who i am today.

For my SIL, i have learnt a new form that makes me run even faster. On the 8th of july, during an event i hit 30 kmh using a speedometer. My hardest challenge from time to time is STAMINA and BREATH CONTROL, in order to run faster.. i had to learn how to control my breath as i cant breath too fast nor too slow, it had to be perfect.

i want to run faster in sec 4 and am also training for road run in 2024 (if have)

FOOTBALL:VISION

dhannyah_rao_kantha_rao — 2023-10-25 03:41:47 UTC

Football is a sport that includes pace, skills and techniques.
There is one more important attribute that most pro football players use which is observation.

For my SIL, I decided to use a graphic illustrator( FC 24 ) to improve my observation and vision by using a overhead view.
