Prefect Orientation

Today's our prefect orientation. The programs started at 8:30, if I had not mistaken. The seniors were to act like bullies and gangsters. They vandalised & shouted, to test the new prefects' response. Some of them did bravely, whilst some just stand there doing nothing. I'm one of the AJKs and I lead three girls and four boys in the 2nd group. One of the boys was brave enough and the actors a.k.a seniors complimented him. One of them talk blurry, and was said to be unreasonable because when 2 girls are fighting, he didn't stop them, in fact, he said their nails were long and asked them to cut their nails. One girl in my group was chickened out when she saw the seniors' acting. She kept quite in the whole orientation program and did nothing. I was a little bored and annoyed seeing her actions.

Later, we had our exams to test the prefects knowledge about the rules. My friend and I set up the questions. I knew the newbies sure have cheated. No way they can score so high!

Then, we had our lunch- KFC. Two pieces of chicken for everyone and a bottle of can drink. Some didn't even noticed that the drinks were at the front of the canteen!

Lastly, we had our games. After games, we had to clean up the place. When I returned to the hall, I found out that the Orientation has been dismissed. I'm sweating all over at that time.

This orientation ended well and we were very glad. Many thanks to our head prefect - Yiew Kah Yee & assistant head prefect - Chua Pei Di. Complements for the most hardworking secretary, Jenny, who has done a lot for preparing this orientation. All the AJKs were also good helpers in organizing this wonderful activity. So, thanks to everyone !

失声的日子

不知道为什么，我突然没了那把嗓子，成了个哑巴。又碰巧是考试的那天，日子真难熬。嘴巴张了张，没声出来，像个白痴似的。数学真难，我想了老半天还思索不出答案。谁叫我是女的，脑袋没男同学好。地理，唉呀，我可真是粗心大意，上面儿明明写着对的答案，下面却圈错。有够笨的！班长浩杰问我东西，不知是真的不会抑或是存心刁难，我比手划脚，又费力地解释，他竟和朋友在那里笑我：哑子吃黄莲，有苦说不出......

Penubuhan dan Pentadbiran Negeri-negeri Selat

P.Pinang ~ Leftnan Gabenor
Singapura & Melaka ~ Residen

1826, P.Pinang, Melaka & Singapura disatukan menjadi NNS utk
1. menyeragamkan pentadbiran
2. menjimatkan perbelanjaan

Ibu negeri 1 : P.Pinang
Ibu negeri 2 : Singapura

Ditukar kerana kedudukannya lebih strategik & menguntungkan

Pentadbiran diketuai oleh Gabenor yg menerima arahan drpd Gabenor Jeneral di India.
Residen Konsuler membantu Gabenor menjalankan pentadbiran.

*1826, gelaran Leftnan Gabenor dan Residen ditukar kpd Residen Konsuler.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabenor Jeneral British bertanggungjawab menggubal dasar dan undang-undang NNS.
Penduduk tidak puas hati kerana merasakan NNS seolah-olah tanah jajahan India.
Pada April 1867, NNS diisytiharkan sbg jajahan British & diletakkan di bawah Pejabat Tanah Jajahan London.
Majlis Perundangan ditubuhankan utk membolehkan NNS meluluskan uindang-undang sendiri.

Dare to tell me I'm not cute ?!

Perjanjian 7 Jun 1823

Pada thn 1823, Stamford Raffles telah menandatangani satu perjanjian dgn Sultan Hussein & Temenggung Abdul Rahman.

Fantasie Impromptu

Perjanjian antara Temenggung Abdul Rahman dan Stamford Raffles pada 30 Januari 1819

Syarat perjanjian:
1. SHTI boleh mendirikan loji di Singapura.
2. SHTI bersetuju melindungi Temenggung drpd ancaman dalam dan luar negeri.
3. SHTI akan membayar 3000 dolar Sepanyol setahun kpd Temenggung.
4. SHTI tidak membenarkan Temenggung menjalinkan hubungan dgn negara Barat yg lain.

Pertapakan SHTI di Singapura

P. Pinang gagal mencapai kemajuan kerana:
1. Jauh ke utara Selat Melaka
2. Kebanyakan kapal berdagang di Betawi, Riau & Lingga

Barangan dari China seperti:
teh, sutera, kapas dan bahan pencelup mendapat pasaran yg menguntungkan di Eropah.

SHTI inginkan sebuah pelabuhan yg strategik di selatan Selat Melaka.

SHTI mendapat peluang utk menguasai Melaka dan Betawi semasa Perang Napoleon.

Belanda mengenakan cukai yg tinggi dan memberi layanan yg buruk kpd pedagang British di Betawi.

Stamford Raffles ditugaskan utk mencari pelabuhan baru. Beliau membuka pelabuhan di Palembang, Acheh dan Riau tetapi gagal.


Singapura Pangkalan Perdagangan yg Strategik

Singapura dpt mengawal laluan perdagangan di Selat Melaka dan Selat Sunda.

Singapura sesuai dijadikan pelabuhan bebas dan pangkalan utk menyaingi Belanda. Raffles yakin Singapura dapat menyekat kuasa monopoli British.
