Summary:
Serge Amisi was a child soldier who experienced war at a young age. He was forced to become a child soldier. Now, after being demobilized in 2001, he is leading a different life as a dancer, puppeteer and sculptor. He has also published a book of his experiences hoping that it will be useful to others.
Opinion:
I feel that Serge Amisi is someone who I can admire of. After being demoralized, he did not give up even though he found it difficult to come back to civilian life. He tried his best and he found what he was talented in. I also feel that I should not give up and persevere in tough situations.

Rage, Rap and Revolution: Inside the Arab Youth Quake
Identify the aim and method of the Arab Spring protesters
The aims of the Arab Spring protesters are to show their fury ,due to the hardship and maltreatment that they are receiving, to the leaders of the country.Protesters' primary aim goal is democracy.They use advanced ways such as the internet and Facebook.This enables them to spread the awareness of Arab Spring and its corrupted leaders to the world and gain support from the world.
Do you think that the Arab Youth were right in taking to the streets to ask for change?
Yes. The Arab Youth spreading the news of revolution and their corrupted government through advanced tools such as the internet enabled them to gain more support from the world. I feel that without the Arab Youths’ actions, the people’s disappointment would not have been shown and with them taking this matter to the streets, the changes that the governments was possible.
More families having reunion dinner at hawker centres
Read more here!
Summary:
With the Chinese Lunar New Year coming up in a few weeks, many Singaporeans have turned to alternative venues to celebrate their reunion dinner. Reunion dinner has always been celebrated either at home or at restaurants, the new addition is the hawker centres. Many Singaporeans feel uncomfortable to celebrate in a restaurant as they feel pressurized and are unable to enjoy themselves. Thus have decided to go for the hawker centres instead of the hassle of cooking and cleaning up dishes at home. Hawker centres have a variety of food with wide choices that people need not follow like in a restaurant, and can have free choices. It is also more affordable than restaurants and Singaporeans can easily get their favourite dishes. Hawker centre stalls are earning more due to people ordering dishes from them.
Opinion:
I feel that it is a fresh idea to celebrate the reunion dinner in a hawker centre. With the wide variety of local dishes and prices that no one can complain about unlike in a restaurant, I would definitely like to try having it in a hawker centre. However, celebrating such an important dinner in a place filled with strangers would be uncomfortable too. Like one of the interviewed Singaporeans, I do not feel the same comfort and enjoyment celebrating outside. I would prefer to celebrate at my Grandmother's house as everyone gets to come together to enjoy her cooking and clean up as a family. This is what I believe reunion dinner is about.
