A singlish text! Or maybe a broken english text!
Today I am going to write a singlish text.
" I know what we all can do," Tom spoke in a conspiratorial whisper as he say his plan to Dick. When the school, they allighted from it and bounded to the classroom. The classroom no people. Tom then whipped out super glue from his pocket and squeezed a lot on the teacher's chair. They break into peals of laughter when they think of the teacher funny face when he sat on it. They cannot wait for the first lesson to begin. When the bell rang, the new Science teacher came to classroom.His face broke into a snile when he say his name. Then he asked who want to be in his experiment. Many people put their hands up and Tom was pleased when the teacher say Tom you come. He sauntered to the classroom in front. His face turn ashen when the teacher take out the chair with super glue and say come sit on it. He stammer when he say he very scared and cannot do it. "Well, I knew the pranks your were going to play on me," the teacher said sternly. " I sit behind both of you just now in the bus." The two boys put their heads down and very shameful. They stayed behind in school when lessons no more that day to remove the super glue from the chair.
PS: Is it funny? All the spelling mistakes are also part of the essay. Please Comment! Your comments are all very important to me. If you don't comment right, I humtam YOU!!!!!!!!!!

How do we prevent ourselves from getting electric shocks
Even though we hear less problems in the news, but it may happen to you. So we must always be alert and careful. I've suggested ways to prevent it from happening. Firstly, we must dry our hands before switch on or off the plug. Secondly, we must not poke things such as pens into the socket hole. Thirdly, we must not put too many plugs into one socket. Thats all for my suggestion!
ways to prevent getting electrocuted
6 ways on how to prevent yourself from being electrocuted.
1. Extension cords. These handy tools can cause electrical burns and shock if they're not used carefully. Cords that have exposed wires should never be used, as kids and pets can (and will) chew on them if they can get them. In fact, electrical burns to the mouth account for half of the extension-cord-related injuries to young children.
Even an intact extension cord poses a risk. For instance, in one case a 15-month-old girl put an extension cord in her mouth and suffered electrical burns that required surgery.
To reduce the risks, keep extension cords out of reach of kids and pets, and always purchase cords that have the UL and OSHA labels on them (these cords have been subjected to strict tests to ensure they meet certain safety standards). Further, use common sense measures to be sure the cords are in good shape, including:
* Inspect them regularly for signs of wear and tear.
* Replace old extension cords that are cracked or frayed.
* Only use exterior extension cords for outside use.
* Don't overload cords or sockets.
* Pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting it from the socket
* Only use extension cords when they're absolutely necessary, and try not to use them for long-term purposes.
2. Electrical outlets. Most electrical outlets are located in areas of the home that children can easily reach. Close to 4,000 injuries associated with electrical outlets are treated in U.S. emergency rooms every year, says the CPSC, and about one-third of these occur when kids looking to explore insert metal objects like keys and hairpins into the outlets.
Since you can't move your outlets away from your kids, it's imperative to cover your outlets with the Sliding Decora Outlet Cover (for outlet covers requiring two screws, as in most newer homes) or the Standard Sliding Outlet Cover (for outlet covers requiring only one screw in the middle, as in most older homes.)
If you routinely have kids in your home, check out these simple, inexpensive but ingenious outlet covers by clicking on either link above! These easy-to-install outlet covers are spring activated, so they automatically cover outlets when any plug is removed. This means kids can't insert objects or fingers into the outlets at any time!
It's important to only insert appropriate plugs into electrical outlets (any other object poses an electrocution danger) and use caution when you do, such as being careful not to touch the metal prongs when inserting the plug.
3. Electric appliances. We become so accustomed to using electric appliances in our daily lives that it's easy to become careless with their use. This is often when electrocution can occur. Even touching an electric appliance like a hair dryer with wet hands can cause a shock. Here are some other safety tips to keep safe around electric appliances:
* Don't use electric appliances near water or while touching faucets or water pipes.
* Don't use appliances that have worn plugs or cracked wires.
* Don't attempt to fix electrical appliances on your own, even if it appears simple.
* Unplug appliances when they're not in use.
4. Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs, Spas. The common risk that comes along with swimming pools and hot tubs is drowning, but the American Red Cross points out another, often overlooked, risk -- electrocution. According to CPSC, the biggest risks of electrocution here come from faulty underwater lighting, aging electrical wiring, sump pumps, power washers and vacuums that are not grounded, and electrical appliances and extension cords that fall into the water. The risk is especially apparent if lighting and circuits aren't protected by Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters (GFCIs), which are one of the best ways to prevent electrocution, CPSC says.
According to Hal Stratton of CPSC, "The best protection for families is inspection, detection, and correction of electrical hazards in and around swimming pools, hot tubs and spas. CPSC strongly encourages residential and commercial pool owners and operators to upgrade protection of the lights, receptacles, and switches with GFCIs. Older pools are the biggest concern, as underwater lighting fixtures may have degraded with age and may not be protected by GFCIs."
5. Power Lines. High-voltage overhead power lines can pose a risk to people on ladders or other lifts. Says Thomas Moore of CPSC, "CPSC believes that there are still many electrocution deaths that could be prevented. Consumers should never place a ladder, antenna, or anything else near a power line. Consumers who come in contact with an overhead power line may not live to share their experience."
Further, wires from a downed power line can also be deadly. Never go near a power line that is down, such as after a storm, as live wires can be present long after the pole falls (until the electricity has been turned off). People have also died after striking an electrical pole in a car accident and having the live wires touch the car.
6. Lightning. Lightning and thunderstorms are most likely to occur on hot and humid days. If you sense a storm approaching, seek shelter indoors immediately, as lightning can cause serious injury, particularly to those who are stranded outside without proper protection.During a lightning storm, avoid tall, isolated objects, don't attempt to touch any fallen wires, and if you are struck by lightning be sure to seek medical attention even if the injury seems minor.

Ways to prevent us from being electricuted!!!!!!!!
2. Pay attention to what your appliances are telling you. When an appliance repeatedly trips a circuit breaker, blows a fuse, or gives you shocks, it’s not just a coincidence – these are signs that something is wrong. Prevent further – and possibly more dangerous – malfunctions from occurring by immediately unplugging the appliance and discontinuing use until a professional electrician can inspect it, make repairs, and ultimately declare the appliance safe.
3. Install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). In new construction homes, GFCI receptacles are a requirement anywhere that electrical outlets and water will be in close proximity to one another. GFCIs detect current leakages (or ground faults) in electrical circuits – such as would occur when a powered device made contact with water. The GFCI then shuts off power to that receptacle almost instantaneously, preventing electrical shock, burns, and electrocution. If you live in an older home that didn’t come standard with GFCIs, installing them in place of traditional outlets in your bathroom, kitchen, and garage is an easy way to prevent severe electrical injuries – and at very little cost.
4. Make sure you’re using the right size circuit breakers and fuses. If fuses and circuit breakers aren’t the right size and wattage rating to match the specifications of their circuits, they’re going to fail right when you most need them to perform. Read packages carefully when shopping for replacements. If you’re not sure which size to buy, have an electrician take a look at your panel box and label it with the circuit breaker or fuse size needed (for easy future reference). And as long as you’re making a trip to the hardware store, stock up with a few extra – you’ll be happy to have them on hand when the next need arises.
5. Protect kids with outlet covers. Outlet covers prevent babies and small children from sticking their fingers and other objects into unoccupied receptacles, protecting them against shock and electrocution. You can either use the plug-in type, or opt for special child safety wall plates, which feature built-in, retractable covers that automatically snap back into place when outlets aren’t in use
6. Avoid cube taps and other outlet-stretching devices. Cubes taps – those little boxes that allow you to plug several appliances into a single outlet – may seem like a major convenience, but they can actually put you on the fast track to circuit overload, overheated wiring, and even fire. If you absolutely must use one, do the math before plugging in. Know the maximum power demand that the cube-tapped receptacle can handle, and be certain that the collective pull (power requirement) of the devices you’re plugging into it doesn’t exceed that rating.
7. Replace missing or broken wall plates. They’re not just there for the looks – wall plates also protect your fingers from making contact with the electrical wiring behind them. Broken wall plates, or the absence of them altogether, can be especially dangerous in the dark – when trying to locate a switch by touch, you may end up being shocked or electrocuted if you miss the mark and end up hitting live wires instead.
8. Keep electrically powered yard-care tools dry. Whether it’s raining, just finished raining, or you’ve recently run the sprinklers, never attempt yard work with electrically powered tools in wet conditions. Protect yourself from shock and electrocution by keeping your electric hedge trimmer, weed whacker, and lawnmower safely unplugged and stowed away until precipitation has stopped, grass and foliage is dry, and puddles can be easily avoided.
9. Match the light bulb’s wattage rating to the lamp. Whenever choosing light bulbs to use with a lamp, be sure to consult that lamp’s maximum wattage specifications (they’re often printed right around the light bulb socket). Always opt for a light bulb with wattage that’s equal to or less than the maximum wattage listed on the lamp – too strong a bulb can lead to overloaded lamp wiring, as well as fire.
10. Be kind to you cords. Take care to treat power cords gently – never nail or tightly tack them down, and regularly check to make sure that they’re not pinched between or underneath furniture. Excessive pressure on power cables can damage insulation (exposing the conductor), or compress the conducting wire, which can lead to overheating and put you at risk for an electrical fire.

3.)Not to overload the electric circuits.
and......
4.)Make sure we switch off the socket before plugging it off.
Make sure we follow these rules so we will not get electrocuted.

the Peanut times by:Gareth
welcome people from earth and beyond to the 11th issue of the spectacular"rrrrrr" peanut times!!!! as you all may have realised, ihave not been writing. so, now i am!! Teacher's Day was round the corner, and why the heck do we celebrate for our teachers even though they practically kill us with never-ending homework and punishments? one anonymous reader wrote in to the free line: celebrate??! my butt !! i'd rather fry eggs in the toilet and eating drugs that kill me than celebrate!... well, apparently, you, my reader have no respect for teachies.. i mean teachers. however, according to the most reliable GarethRocks survey, we have answered that question.... please write ur answers in the comment box.
QUESTION MANIA....WHY NOT CELEBRATE TEACHERS DAY?
A) teachers do not deserve it
B) because Boon Tau Suan offended them and they hate us so they teach us about robotic genetics and how pee is produced and released and it is so disgusting that we do not celebrate for them.
C)DUH WE MUST CELEBRATE COS' THEY SCOLD US TO CARE FOR US TO PUNISH US TO MORE HOMEWORK ( that was my pesky assistant, Boon Ah Soup.)
Wow... teachers so rock. any way, now for homework. how not to be harmed by electricity?
SWITCH ON TO SAFETY...Advice while working around electricity
When working around a home, we often don't treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Too often, people get seriously hurt or even killed as a consequence. Use an extension lead that is appropriate for the power loading you need. Check that it has three prongs and is approved to Australian Standards. Extension leads with only two prongs are not ‘earthed' and are dangerous. If an appliance is faulty, a non-earthed plug can cause power to flow through the body of whoever's using it, with extreme danger. There are certain situations when it s the phone you should be reaching for, not the screwdriver. These tasks should never be attempted unless you are a qualified electrician: • Wiring any part of a home. • Installing lighting or switches. • Installing or moving power points. • Rearranging electrical wires. • Carrying out electrical maintenance. • Replacing frayed cords on appliances

Jasmin's Birthday
Thank you for the party Mum
My birthday was such fun
I know my friends will all come back
When I have another one
The cake you baked was special
I never would have thought Mum
That a no-egg, no-milk, no-butter, chocolate-free, fat-free,sugar-free, date & pumpkin cake
Would taste just like a bought one
Pink icing made from Beetroot-Coloured-Tofu on the top
And beeswax smoke-less candles
That you made at a workshop
I'm glad you made the fairy bread
From organic, yeast-free rye
And sprinkled it with poppy seeds,sesame and sunflower... to fortify
The chickpea dip, falafel balls,
The celery sticks with hommus
And what about the babaganouse
That was real adventurous
Mum, I do appreciate
All the hot food you prepared
From non-genetic-engineered soy
It shows you really care
Like the not-dogs and not-sausage rolls
With the not-tomato-sauce
And I loved the home-grown veggie pizza
With soy cheese of course
I'm forgetting the most fun part
Was the games we got to play
They took you ages to prepare,
But they really made the day
Like bob for locally-grown organic applesbought from a neighbour down the street
And pin the tail back on the dog(that had it cut off in a laboratory experiment)was really neat
Sight-impared person's bluff and
The free range egg and spoon race
Musical chairs played to Tony O'Connor
And my favourite ... Tug-of-Peace
Pass the parcel wrapped with unbleached recycled paper, grown on thewest side of a hill by a tree released from its vertical home to serve humanity by a group of landcare volunteers who formed a circle around the tree,meditated and chanted for four days before placing it gently, back onto the earth from which it had first sprung as a sapling and from where its mother and father had gone on before to serve as recycled toilet paper and toothpicks respectively.
And instead of taking their prizes, Mum
My friends and I agreed
That we'd donate to a charity
For children who're in need
And I'm glad you said 'no presents'
I really have so much
Just you and Dad as parents
Is a birthday present enough
My friends went home exhausted
From all the fun they'd had
With their little calico bags
Full of gelatine-free sweets you made
So thank you for the party Mum
My birthday was such fun
I know I'll always remember it,
The day that I turned ONE!
Now that its the end, i cannot comprehend, how sad i am. That was bad. here's some jokes
Impossible to Please
A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in. The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside." So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor. The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up. They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain." They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up. On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor. There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."
we hope you look forward to the 12th issue where we talk about children's day!!! this is reporter Gareth signing off~ I am still watching you...
How to prevent ourselves from getting a nasty electric shock!!!!
It's me, Calvin! As you kow, electric shocks can cause DEATH!!!!!!!!!!! So, how do you prevent them? It's very simple. First, if you do not need electricity to examine the wires, then switch off the main power first. Stop ALL electric flow in EVERY part of the house, just to play safe. Then, wear a rubber glove to protect yourself from any electric current still flowing in the wires. But what happens if you need the power supply on when you are examining the situation? Or maybe you need to test out the wires while examining it in order to find the problem behind it? Well, first, you can use a screwdriver which INSULATES electricity!! If you use a full-metal screwdriver, you will still have an ELECTRIC SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And after you have the screwdriver, wear a rubber glove as well. REMEMBER: YOUR SAFETY IS ALWAYS NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can we do to prevent us from being electricuted
Answer: We can dry our hands before we touch any electrical appliences. We can also make sure that we do not leave a light bulb on for too long as when the bulb is on for too long,it will get heated up and may cause a fire.
