Question 1. In the last line, what did the writer mean by suggesting that “he may have found more porcupines than rats?”
Answer: He meant that Lee Kuan Yew found more hard spiked people that are like porcupines with those dazzling spikes on their backs. The people he found are more stronger and have backbone like the porcupines. Though he found people who only come out to fine food like rats and stay at home other times, he found more of those strong willed and hard spiked people like the porcupines.
Question 2. What’s worth giving up your life for?
To know the true meaning of my existence and to fine out what does this "world" I live in means. To me, I don't know the meaning of my existence yet. I seek yet to fine it, yet not I found it. I sincerely wish that day will come, when I learn what I seek even if it means losing my life in the end, I will not have regrets.

Straits Times Reflection 3
Question 1. Why Coral Secondary School forbids students to idle around near their school in their school uniform?
Answer: To help students cultivate good habits for their conservation of time instead of wasting precious time loitering around in places.
Question 2. Do you agree with this rule? Explain your answer.
Answer: No, I seriously do not. This kind of rules is extremely a bad impact towards the students. Sometimes, they only want to get food at their favourite resturants like Mac'donald's or other food stores. Or, sometimes they only want to like stress off after school or just explore places near the school. They mean no harm. If I were to say the part which I should agree on would be there should be a limit to the time they can loiter around. Giving such strict rules gives the student alot of stress when they break this rule and feel very remorse. This sort of feeling affects academy results heavily. Making this sort of rules would rather stress the student instead of helping them.

Straits Time Reflection 2
Question 1. What was Jack Neo’s vocation when he was serving the nation?
Answer: He was some sort of quartermaster.
Question 2. “Hard work leads to success.” To what extend do you agree with this statement?
Answer: I do somewhat agree with "Hard work leads to success". But, what I do believe in is "Be smart, answer smart" this phrase. For example, in studies no matter how hard you try to study, if you do not study the correct topic, you would still fail. Like in maths, your taking algebra test and you go study angle bisector surely fail one. To me, smartness leads to success. But, hardwork+smartness leads to even better success. To this extend I agree with the fact that "Hard work leads to success"

ST Reflection 2009 – Secondary 2NA / 2ETerm 1, Week 5 (2 Feb 09)Golfers, youths in brawl on green (HOME, pg 1)
Q1) How did the teenagers trespass into Singapore Island Country Club?
Answer: While working in a forest area near MacRitchie Reservoir, they accidentaly lost their way and then wandered of to the Singapore Island Country Club's golf course.
Q2) Is underage drinking correct? Explain your answer.
Answer: Yes. It helps to relieve youths from all their stress or the hurt when their parents or close friends deny to help them with their problems. It also helps to let them forget about those unhappy stuff and be more stress-free for the time being. Although it's against the laws and young people might lose control of their actions, that's what makes drinking a good way to relieve stress. Free of the anger, hatred and agony.
