Commonwealth essay competition(When I was your age)

Now, when I was your age, I still remember the first day I went to school. I still remember how I felt on that day. A mixture of feelings flowed through me. It was partly fear and excitement as I left my mother’s protective arms and entered the huge and daunting school. The very walls seemed to stretch on forever. Many other students walked around me. Some as tall as giants and some just like my height. Every one of them just kept walking towards their destination not a single one of them was paying any attention to me.
I walked step by step heading to my classroom, thinking what type of teacher I would have for my form teacher. Brief images of a very fierce and horrible-looking teacher flashed through my mind. She was small and plump, she scanned the class with her small beady eyes. On her chin was a humongous hairy mole which seemed to be saying, “Come on laugh, I dare you.” Resting on her long nose was a pair of spectacles which frames were square in shape which only helped to shrink her minute eyes even further. Her silver white hair was tied up in a bun which did no good in making her seem taller. On the contrary it seemed to only re-emphasize her miniscule body. Her mouth twisted into a sinister snarl as she sat there behind her desk before addressing me with venomous poison in her voice, “welcome to your worst nightmare! Ha-ha!” it was only then that it dawned on me. I had reached my classroom. I started to feel scared and even considered leaving the school and going home instead, but at that very moment a very sweet voice spoke, “Whoever is outside please enter.” It was too late, thus I gathered my courage and stepped into the door.
To my almost surprise, the voice that spoken was belong to a young and pretty teacher sitting on the desk. She wore a sweet smile on her face, her white teeth shining brightly under the classroom light. Her silky long black hair was trailing the length of her back before stopping midway. She was the exact opposite of what I imagined. Lifting a hand, she beckoned me towards her and said friendly, “What your name?” “Marcus.” I replied shyly. “Well Marcus why don’t you go and sit right beside Cheng Song. It is on the second back row on the right.” I turned around scanning briefly before spotting my target, an empty sit on the second row at the back. I walked with renewed enthusiasm on towards my sit. As I lowered myself into my sit, the boy next to me said, “Hi, I‘m Cheng Song. Do you play neopets?” Smiling at him, I said, “Yes I do.” I knew immediately that I and Cheng Song would be the best of friends. I smiled to myself thanking myself for not deciding to run back home again. I know that I would like this school.

An unusual thing happened (CA1 third posting)

Yesterday on the 18th of January, it was like any other Friday. The only difference is that we are training harder for our east zone competition that is coming round the corner. Thus the moment everyone arrived, we started to practice serving. However as our couch was not present at that time, most of the C Division players were fooling around and were not taking the training seriously. Our vice-captain and captain were having a very difficult time trying to get everyone to stop fooling around and train properly.

Our teacher-in-charge came at 3.30pm. It was very surprising as she was supposed to arrive at 5pm. That was when the horrible news came. Apparently, 2 boys from 2E were knocked down by a lorry. To make matters worse, some of our team members were also from 2E. Our teacher told us that she has to go and see the boys as she is the form teacher of 2E. Thus she told us to continue to train and when it was 4pm, our captain was to call her and only then we could leave. However, how can we train knowing that 2 Victorians are in the hospital?

A moment I enjoyed with my family(CA1 second posting)

Today is my mother’s birthday; I and my sister have already planned a surprise for her. Now the only difficulty is how we get her to leave the house long enough to set up everything? With that thought in mind, I entered my mother’s car and started cracking my head for ideas all the way home. Just as I entered the front door, an idea popped up in my head.
However, the idea required some sacrifice on my part. Gathering my courage, I asked,” mom, I need a A3 sized paper for my image board, I got to pass it up tomorrow. Could you help me to go and buy?” I braced myself for the explosion and as expected in came right on time. She yelled, “What! You tell me only after we have reached home! No way am I not driving out again!” Fortunately after much begging and pleading, she gave in and went out.
The moment the door closed, I quickly told my sister to bring out the decoration and we immediately started decorating the house. After what seemed like an eternity, we managed to decorate the house so that it looked more like a birthday party. Just as I placed the last of the decorations into place, I heard the keyhole start to turn. Panicking, we dashed to our hiding positions and switched off the light. As the door opened, we jumped out and said,” Surprise!” my mother who was speechless for words just smiled and hugged us as we proceeded to bring out the cake…

Nokia Entertainment report: The Future of Blogging

Hi, this is the first time I'm posting on the blog. An interesting video I have watch is the Nokia Entertainment report: The Future of Blogging.

It is generally about the future of blogging. It may be a bit dull but what they do have a point. Nowadays, blogging has become a part of life and it is only limited by our culture and creativity. It also states that blogging is a continuous part of life and that it is 24/7/365. It is still a very informative video and I recommend you watch it.
PS: This blog is meant to be a grammatically flawless blog, so if there are mistakes please inform me. Thank You!

My thoughts on blogging

This is my first time posting for this blog. When I blog, I start to have a very interesting and sensational feeling. It is kind of hard to put in into words, but it feels like a sense of a assurance, as if there is somebody listening to you. I feel as if I am pouring all my troubles, sadness and happy thoughts to a person. It feels like a great burden has been lifted off my shoulders when I type out my feelings into this blog and now I feel as calm as the sea. I really enjoy blogging and I will post more entries in the nearby future.

A difficulty I faced today(First CA1 posting)

Today I faced a difficulty that I had not foreseen when I was modifying my blog skin that I had just chosen. Apparently, my blog skin did not allow people to comment about my posting and it was very disappointing as the skin was very interesting. However, I instead just revert back to the classic skin which had the basic feature of allowing people to post comments on my blog now my blog may not look so cool but it is at least able to provide the basic features like being able to post a comment. At least the colour is nice matte black which matched my picture. Ms Neo also recommended that I could instead just use the skin for my own personal blog which apparently I could still use my email to create another blog and do not have to waste time creating another email. I guess you learn something every day.
