My Grandfather Tan Sze Wen (2K)
My grandfather is a dentist. He is 61years old. He lives in Alor Setar, Kedah. He has seven grandchildren. He likes to read magazines and medical books. Every school holiday, he will bring me to the shopping mall to buy something for me.
My grandfather loves me very much. I also love him because he is a kind and helpful man.
Myself Teh Yisan (2K)
My name is Teh Yisan. I am eight years old. I am in Year 2K. I study at SJK (C) Kim Sen, Bukit Mertajam.
I have a brother, Yiren. He is three years old. We live in Simpang Ampat and I really like living here.
My hobbies are drawing, reading and watching television. I love reading adventure stories. My favourite cartoon is ‘Never Land Pirates’.
My First Swimming Lesson
Lim Jia Yee (2I)
Today is my first lesson at the swimming class. The water in the swimming pool is very cold. The water level in the swimming pool is as high as my shoulder. The swimming pool is big and deep. My sister and I are very happy to swim in the swimming pool. My coach is Mr Wong. There are many people today. The coach is teaching us breathing and floating techniques.
After swimming, we feel hungry and go home for dinner at 7.30pm. I am very happy. My sister is very happy too.
My Ambition Rujira Loo (3K)
My name is Rujira Loo. I am nine years old. I was born in Thailand. I have two brothers in my family and I am the youngest among them. I study at SJK(C) Kim Sen in Year 3 in the first class which is 3K.
I always wanted to fly up high into the sky to visit many countries. Thus, when I grow up, I wanted to be a pilot, so that I can take passengers that boarded the plane to their destinations.
In order to achieve my ambition, I need to study hard and take good care of my eyes because if I have poor eyesight, I cannot be a pilot anymore. I will be very excited if I have the chance to go to the training centre to learn the technics to fly an aeroplane and to obtain a flying license.
If really I can achieve my ambition, I will surely take my family to fly around the world.
My Birthday Mok Qi Wen (3I)
It was yesterday that I celebrated my ninth birthday. I invited many relatives and friends to my birthday party. My mother prepared a lot of food and drinks such as: cake, fried noodles, fried chickens, ice creams, puddings, nuggets, pizzas and different types of juice.
The party started at 6.30 in the evening. I wore a beautiful gown and a pair of high-heeled shoes. All the guests brought along their lovely presents or red packets for me. I can see there were nine candles on my cake too.
First of all, my friends and relatives sang the birthday song for me. I blew out candles and cut the cake. Then, my mother helped me to distribute the cake to them. We also had a great feast. We played some interesting games like musical chairs, stamping balloons, singing and dancing.
We played and enjoyed ourselves very much. All the guests left my house before 11.30 in the night. I unwrapped my birthday presents excitedly.
I had a really happy and enjoyable birthday party and I felt really thankful to my parents for giving me this birthday party which I will remember forever.
My Best Friend Teh Shan Yee (4I) Peh Ye Suen (4I)
I have many friends in this world. My best friend is Juvina Tan. We have been friends since kindergarten.
Juvina is kind. She always helps people who are in difficulty. She has a pair of big and beautiful eyes and a small mouth. Juvina always helps the teachers to carry books to the staffroom.
Every Sunday and Saturday, I will go to her house. We play together for three hours. We will go to the playground behind her house. We play on the swings and the slide there. She also helps me with my homework. If I do not have enough money to buy food, she will treat me. Before every exam she will help me with my revision and I will help her with hers.
I am happy because I have a good and kind friend. If we get good results in our exams we will thank each other. We hope to be friends forever.
A Visit To The Fun Park Chuah Yi Wen(5K)
During the school holidays, my family went on trip to Johor Bahru. We went there by flight. It was my first experience travelling in a plane. Thus, my brother and I felt very excited and happy. On that day, we woke up early. After having our breakfast, my father drove us to Penang International Airport.
We reached Johor Bahru Airport at about 9.00 a.m. My uncle drove us to his house. The next day, we went to Legoland. We went there early in the morning to avoid the traffic jam. As it was the school holidays, when we arrived at Legoland there was a long queue.
After buying our entrance tickets, we went into Legoland. At first, we drove the go-kart. I drove a yellow go-kart while my brother drove a blue one. We had to follow the traffic rules and regulations during the race. Later, we went boat racing. My cousin, Kim Ping and I sat on a red boat. I felt very excited and had a wonderful time there because I had a chance to row the boat.
At 12.00 noon, we felt very hungry. We took a break and had our lunch at a food court in Legoland. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced. After lunch, we went to the 5D theatre. The special effect of the theatre was excellent. This made the movie very interesting and lively. Then, we went to the most interesting part of Legoland. My cousin and I managed to build a beautiful castle with lego blocks. My brother built a robot.
Later we went for a ride on a roller coaster. We felt very scared but fun when riding on it. After the ride, we felt very tired and dizzy. Then, we had ice-creams. We also took a ride on the giant musical tea cups. The musical tea cups were very special. They can turn very fast. We also took many photographs there.
Before we left Legoland, we stopped at the souvenir shop. I bought some dinosaur key-chains made from lego blocks.
We had a wonderful time together at Legoland. I hope that I could go to Legoland again in the near future!
My Favorite Food Irene Lee Xin Ying (5I)
There are many kinds of food in the world for us to enjoy. Some are good for us while others are not.
My favorite food is Nasi Lemak. It is a delicious and spicy. Whenever my family and I go out for breakfast, I always suggest we eat Nasi Lemak.
My mother is also good at cooking Nasi Lemak. It is rather simple. All you need is santan, fried anchovies, roasted peanuts, boiled eggs, sliced cucumber and hot spicy sambal.
Nasi Lemak is a balanced meal with carbohydrate from the rice, protein from the anchovies, eggs and peanuts and fibre as well as vitamins from the cucumber.
I love this dish. It is delicious and yummy.
A Robbery Jaw Xinyi( 6K)
One evening when the sun was about to set, my mother asked me to go and buy some onions and salt from the nearby sundry shop. As I was walking towards the sundry shop, I saw two men entering a computer shop. They wore dark glasses and their behaviour looked suspicious.
Suddenly, I heard shouting and I could see a big-sized man holding a knife. The workers of the shop were forced to lie face-down on the floor by the other robber.
I quickly hid behind a big tree and watched the whole incident discreetly. The robbers were threatening the poor owner. He was crying and pleading for mercy. Reluctantly, the owner of the shop who was forced at knife-point to open the drawer where he kept his cash. The robber bent over and made a grab for the cash.
I ran to the nearest telephone booth and called the police. Just as I was hanging up the telephone, I saw two policemen on patrol. I told them what had happened. The policemen gave chase but unfortunately the robbers had vanished with the day’s takings.
Many weeks passed but the robbers were never detected and the owner gave up hope of ever recovering his stolen valuables. However, he had taken better security measures and had even installed a burglar alarm and a CCTV to safeguard his shop.
A Special Gift Peh Ke Suen(6K)
Everybody thinks that a gift must be something tangible. But to me, this special gift is abstract. It is from my dear parents. This special gift is the great support from them.
During the preparation for my coming UPSR examination, both my parents always give me encouragement. They give me all the things needed to prepare for the exam. They provide me a quiet environment to study at home, they send me to extra classes and they also buy reference books for me to study.
Apart from that, my parents do not give me any pressure. They don’t ask for good results, they only want me to enjoy my study. I am very grateful of that.
My parents make sure I have nutritious food and get enough sleep. Besides that, my parents take me to the park to exercise. I go jogging with them. I always have fun when I jog. This is to make sure that I have a healthy body. We need a healthy body in order to have a focus mind.
A Trip to Hua Hin, Thailand
Grace Tan Yin Hui(5I)
During the last school holidays, my parents took my family for a trip to Hua Hin, Thailand. We spent five days and four nights there.
We went to Hua Hin by train. It was a long journey and it took seventeen hours to reach there. It was the first time for me and my brother to take a night train and we were very excited to sleep on the train.
We reached Hua Hin Railway Station at 7 o'clock the next day. The railway station is one of the oldest stations in Thailand, built in the 1920s. Many people came to visit the railway station.
We went to have our lunch at Sam Phan Nam Floating Market. We ordered a plate of Pad Thai each and it was cooked in the canal boat. We loved it because it was delicious. While eating, we enjoyed listening to live guitar music.
After lunch, we went to Huay Mongkol Temple. The temple is magnificent and legendary. My grandfather got some amulets from the temple as well.
Then, we went to Plearn Wan. Plearn Wan is a village built with rusty tin pieces and wooden planks. We saw antique cars, an old gas pump, old pinball machines and an old radio there. After having dinner at the night market, we went back to the hotel feeling exhausted but contented.
We went to Klai Kang Won Palace after breakfast on our third day there. The palace was built beside the sea and the wind was strong. It was one of the summer residences of the King of Thai. We rent a tandem bicycle for three persons. We also visited a beautiful flower garden behind the palace.
We went to the Swiss Sheep Farm in the afternoon. My brother and I went in the Alpaca Farm and we saw three alpacas inside the farm. We fed them with carrots and some green grass. Feeding the alpaca was my ultimate experience of the trip.
Next, we went to the Santorini Park. The park is similar to the white and blue buildings of Santorini in Greece. There were a lot of beautiful Christmas decorations in the park. I did not miss the opportunity to take some snapshots as remembrance. We also played the water balloon in the park.
The next day, we checked out from the hotel at noon and we went to the Venezia. The place was scenic and we bought many souvenirs there.
We took a train back to our hometown in the evening. We went back home reluctantly. It was a memorable holiday for my entire family. I hope we can go there again in the near future.
My Class, 6I Isabelle Yong Leyi( 6I)
“Stop it! Give it back to me. I mean it,” shouts echoing in the background. Yes, this is my class. I have spent three full years with a total of 40 pupils, all of different characters and family background. Most of us have gone through the thick and thin to be where we are now. This is the year we are going to have our UPSR, a year we have a common goal, a year we will strive our mighty best to reach the ultimate goal. We have set the goal, of obtaining 7As in our UPSR, making our class teachers proud and delighted.
I can proudly say that my class, 6I, is an enthralling one. It is full of fascinating pupils. There’s a bespectacled one who is very good in his studies but he is not a nerd. He is our role model to achieve grades with flying colours. He’s the one whom most of us will go to, after each exam paper, to check our answers. Everyone desires to be first in class but he is never selfish in assisting us or sharing his knowledge. There are some well-rounded students in my class, who excel academically and in extra curricular activities. They are the pride of my class, 6I.
Along with the hardworking ones, my class has some very interesting people. Their bubbliness brings joy to the class and without them, the mood in the class might not be as uplifting as it is now. Their presence does not interfere with our studies, in fact, it helps us concentrate better. This makes studying fun, not difficult and stressful.
All of us are under the watchful eyes of our class teacher, Miss Teh. She’s a young lady who shows passion in her work. She may look friendly and soft spoken, but like the saying goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.” She is very strict when it comes to school works and our studies. She pays attention to our discipline and our attitude towards learning. I can say she is a good teacher who will guide us to the right path.
All in all, I am lucky to be a part of this class, 6I. Hereby, I wish the best to my classmates for the coming UPSR.
My Trip to Singapore
Khor Jia Wynn ( 6I )
Last year, I passed my year-end school examination with flying colours. In order to encourage me to keep up with the good work, my parents decided to take my whole family on a trip to Singapore. I felt excited for I could finally see my cousin brother who lived with my aunt and uncle in an apartment. We were lucky for our flight was not delayed.
We reached Singapore’s Changi Airport at 1:20p.m. Then, we took a taxi to my aunt’s apartment. She was waiting for us outside the apartment. She greeted us warmly and took us up to the twenty-second floor where they lived. My cousin brother was overjoyed to see us. I could not even help grinning for we had not seen each other since the June holidays.
We went to a restaurant called “Crystal Jade Restaurant” to eat our lunch. My aunt kept offering us more food. After lunch, we went to visit the Science Centre. There were many amazing exhibitions. I can still remember there was some sort of machine that could predict what you looked like when you were a baby and what you would look like when you were an adult. I laughed at myself after looking at the picture of me as an adult.
The next day, we went to Sentosa Island. Unfortunately, we were unable to get tickets into the Universal Studios because the tickets were all sold out. We were quite disappointed. Therefore, my aunt tried to cheer us up by taking us to the Hershey’s Chocolate Shop. There were different varieties of chocolates in different shapes and sizes. Other than that, there were also bottles of chocolate syrup. In the end, my mother bought two bars of Hershey’s chocolate and a bottle of Hershey’s dark chocolate syrup.
In the afternoon, we went to visit a park. There was a maze in the park. So, I, my brothers and my cousin split up. After ten minutes, I was panting after running into the same kid for the sixth time. Finally I managed to emerge from the maze. I ran to find my parents and found all of them laughing at me for being the last one to come out of the maze.
The next day, we bade goodbye to my aunt and her family. Then, we took a bus to the airport and boarded a plane back home. I hope to see my cousin again next year. It was a really memorable trip.
The Wonderful Holiday Ang I Yi (5I)
“Ring… …” Yeh! The holidays were finally here! I had completed my Year Four education. I was as happy as a lark.
I walked home excitedly because my father agreed to take my family to Penang during the holidays. I was looking forward to the journey.
The next morning, after having our breakfast, we departed from our house to Penang. We chatted happily and excitedly together in the car.
First, we went to Bukit Bendera. The air around Bukit Bendera very fresh. There were many kinds of flora on the hill. The view up there was very beautiful.
After that, we visited the Toy Museum. There were many toys in the museum. My family and I were amazed when we saw the toys. My father took some pictures there.
We felt very hungry so we had our lunch in Penang. We ate Penang Laksa in a restaurant. The food was very delicious. We enjoyed the food.
After having our lunch, my family and I went to Batu Feringgi. We splashed swam excitedly in the sea. Then, we picked up some beautiful seashells. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
It was six o’clock in the evening. We felt tired and we wanted to go home. Before that, we bought some souvenirs in China Town. We wanted to give them to our relatives. Then, we went home by ferry. We were disappointed because we did not get to see any dolphins swimming by.
I learnt many things from this trip. I hope that my parents will bring us to Penang during the next school holidays.
The World Today
Marcus Wang Zhe Qi(6K)
When you walk along the streets, what would you see? Children playing games on the latest gadgets, teenagers smoking, adults complaining about everyday topics. The world today is a busy and bustling world, compared to the simplicity of yesterday.
Whenever we read the latest news in the newspapers, what would we see on the headlines? Wars, murders, violence et cetera. We speak of world peace, but what have we done to achieve this goal? Has war benefited us? The answer is a simple ‘No’. Have you ever sat down and thought to yourself, why is there violence worldwide. The reason is greed. Greed for money and power will lead people to go all ends to achieve these goals. Another factor is anger; take Adolf Hitler for an example, the dictator of Nazi Germany. His ambition was to be an artist but was faced with the harsh remarks and sneers of people, including his own family. His hatred was built up and he became the person hated by many, killing millions mercilessly.
We say children are the leaders of tomorrow. In my opinion, I don’t think so. Look at the youngsters of today. Many are spoilt brats, materialistic and not interested in the world around them. And the adults? No difference; some think they are clever ones and make no mistakes, some are just as inconsiderate and racists. I think back to the old days, when children played together and adults chatted together, regardless of race and religion.
I really hope the people in this world would come to their senses and think rationally, instead of acting like foolish and narrow minded ones irrespective of religions, needs, faith, beliefs and colours!
Mother Earth Vincent Ooi (5K)
Our beloved mother earth, However, we are not grateful,
you were pretty and healthy, for the things you have given,
on you, we have lived, disasters happen,
harmonious and peacefully, because of the money we crave.
there were lush mountains,
crystal clear rivers, Stop cutting down trees,
trees and seas, and stop polluting the seas,
various animals, conserve our mother earth,
living happily. for our future generations.

A Terrible Nightmare Loh Ee Lyn 6E-2013
One night, I was home alone because my family was watching a movie at the cinema. I did not like watching movies, so I stayed at home alone.
It was already very late at night, and I was lying on the sofa, reading a book about ghosts and scary creatures.
When I was reading my book, I heard a sound outside the house. It sounded like a dog in distress. I pressed my face against the window pane to see what was outside. Then, I saw a shadowy figure and it looked like a big dog.
I loved animals and I wanted to help it. I opened the door and walked towards the big dog. When I stepped closer to the animal, it growled at me and it looked at me with its big yellow eyes. Then it stood up and snarled, showing its big and sharp canines. Then only did I realize that it was not a dog, but a wolf-like monster!
I started running like a bat out of hell, but it ran as fast as a cheetah. I tried to shake it loose, but it still kept on chasing me.
Then I tripped on a rock and fell to the ground. When I sat up, the creature was now walking slowly towards me, and then it pounced on me!
I closed my eyes, and getting ready to feel its long sharp fangs sinking into me. I was shaken and rocked from side to side. I opened my eyes and guess what I saw? My younger sister was shaking me to wake me up. Apparently, I had fallen asleep on the sofa.
I quickly sat up, and looked around. And there, I found my parents staring at me. Oh! It was only a dream. A terrible one! When I told my parents about my dream, they all looked at me and laughed. Then, my mother told me not to read any more ghost stories.
From that day onwards, I promised myself not to read any ghost stories before going to bed. Until now, that terrible nightmare still haunts me.
A Weird Dream by Isabelle Yong 5I-2013
“Oh no, oh no!” I cried. I was so engrossed in my story reading that I forgot the teacher had summoned me to the staff room earlier on. It was about the paper which I did badly and failed. “Oh, I’m as dead as a dodo!” I cried in my heart. I better set off to the staff room to find my Mathematics teacher, Mr. Tan before I got into deeper trouble.
I zoomed up the stairs and rushed to the staff room like a bat out of hell. When I reached the staff room, what stood before my eyes was a scene no one could ever imagine. “Ahhhh!” I cried in silence. What a shock I got and was feeling wobbly all of a sudden. I looked as white as sheet when I saw aliens, not just one but a great number of aliens sitting at the teachers’ desks! I was so scared that I didn’t have the courage to greet the alien teachers “Good Morning” like I always did. Really, I nearly wet my pants!
And guess what, their clothes were terrible and their hair was worst. Before I could react, one of the alien teachers spotted me and soon my appearing spread like wildfire before I could response. Now, thanks to that alien teacher who spotted me, every alien teacher in the staff room was looking at me! Could you ever imagine having so many aliens staring at you?
Now, I had a good look at them. They were in scaly bodies that came with big heads with eyes popping out. Suddenly, one alien teacher spoke to the other alien teachers in a strange language that was all Greek to me. Soon after, with a blink of my eye, all the alien teachers were charging at me.
I was putting up a fight that came with punches and kicks. At the same time, I felt a sharp pain on my head. Then, I woke up and I found myself in my classroom, safe and sound! Wasn’t I being chased by alien teachers? Wasn’t I struggling and punching and kicking? No! I was here having a dream! When I looked up, Mr Lim’s face was a red as a beetroot because it seemed that I had fallen asleep in his class. To make things worse, he suffered a punch from me. I glanced around the class. I was like a “star” with all eyes on me.
Needless to say, I was punished for sleeping in class and for punching Mr Lim. I was ordered to clean up the classroom for a month plus writing 500 times of “I will not sleep in class anymore”. What a day!

My Holiday At Cameron Highlands Chew Yong Jun 4I-2013
The most important thing to do during school holidays is to spend quality time together with family members. School holidays are the best time for family members to come together.
For this holiday, my parents decided to spend our holiday at Cameron Highlands. They told us that we would go there in the first week of the holidays. My brother asked my mum why we could not go there in the second week. My mum told us we must make preparation to go back to school in the second week.
On Sunday night, my siblings and I packed our things to go to Cameron Highlands the next day. We started our journey at 7:00 in the morning. So, we must finish packing the things that night. On that day, we started our journey happily. After 5 hours’ journey, we finally reached there. Cameron Highlands is the best place to spend our holidays. It means my parents made a good decision. After that, my father check-in at the famous hotel in the heart of Cameron Highlands.
The second day, we visited the Strawberry’s Farm. My brother was very excited because he really wanted to go to the strawberry farm. There, we were allowed to pick the strawberries on our own and also eat them. It was an amazing experience that one never could forget.
After lunch, we went to Cameron Bharat Plantations. It was the most popular tea farm in Cameron Highlands. If you drop by in the morning, you will get to see the tea pickers cutting out the tea leaves and bundling up the leaves on a big basket. The farm is really big. The view is also beautiful. We took a lot of photographs.
On the third day and also our last day there, my mother bought a lot of vegetables, strawberries and a couple of packets of tea leaves. It was because tea was my mother’s favorite drink.
My holiday was a happy one and full of fun. I enjoyed it and was looking forward to going there again soon.
My Grandfather Shamaine Cheah Min En 6E-2013
My grandfather’s name is Neoh Cheng Khoon. He was a joyful, humble, helpful and lovingly person. Unfortunately, he passes away six years ago. He was seventy years old then.
I remember that my grandfather visited us every day when he was alive. He always bought our favourite food, VCDs and toys for my sister, brother and me. My parents told me he would never missed a day to visit the three of us since the day we were born in the hospital.
He would bring us to the park, McDonald’s, and our favourite snacks. We would stay over at his house during weekends. He treated my sister, brother and me like prince and princesses during our stay there. He would bring food to our room. We watched movies and played games all day.
I still remembered there was once when I was three years old, when I slept over one day. I cried for my parents the whole night. My grandfather tried to comfort me but still, I kept crying. At last, my grandfather had no choice but to take me home although it was already passed midnight.
My grandfather loved to rear birds and fishes. He would also go to the bird shop with his friends to see and buy birds. He had a lot of friends. Everyone loved him. They would buy gifts for him on his birthday or when they went for holidays. They always invited him for lunch or dinner. He was a busy old man. Our family and my uncles would go back every weekend to visit him.
Even until today, I still missed my grandfather. I missed his love and jokes and most of all his laughter. I would remember and love my grandfather. He was a great old man, good father and a loving grandfather.
Let’s Save Our Natural Resources! Tan Ying Rong 4I-2013
Natural resources are useful things that come from naturel. The most important of these are water, soil, trees and clean air. We need water to drink and wash. For this reason, we must be careful not to make the water dirty. We need soil to plant trees and crop for food. We must be careful to save the land and not destroy it! We need trees too. Trees give us oxygen which helps us to breathe in clean air. We must not cut down too many trees or build too many factories. The gases released from factories make the air dirty. We should save and protect our natural resources. If we do, we will live in a beautiful and healthy world.
The Story About My best Friend And I Yeap Chia Xuan 6I-2013
Alice is my best friend. She is a cheerful girl. She always has a smile on her face.
Alice‘s father passed away when she was just three years old. Her mother has to raise all three of them (Alice and her two brothers) so they are quite poor. However, Alice never gives up on the hope of living.
I really like Alice. I can’t even forget the day that I met her……It was a rainy day, I was going back home from school. But then I realized that I’ve forgotten to bring my umbrella. I stood there and went blank because I knew that I couldn’t go home in the rain, I would absolutely get a cold afterwards.
Then suddenly, a girl stood beside me and said that she could lend me hers. I looked at her, and the first image that I felt of her is “what a kind girl!”. I took her umbrella and said, “Let’s go together!”, because I knew that if she lends me hers, then she would have to go into the rain. She said yes and we went home together. We talked about each other and had a lovely time. Soon we became best friends.
Time is of the Essence Goh Zi 6I-2013
Time. It is both neglected and appreciated depending on how we use it. People who understand how to use time will not let even a minute pass without them using it to its fullest. People who do not know how to use time will let it fly past them.
If we understand how to use time, we will never complain about a shortage of it. In fact, we might find that there will be a little window of time left to do stuff that we want to our heart’s content.
We should never procrastinate. We should do important things first, then only can we move on to the trivial things. Let’s say that you have homework to do but you desperately want to have some fun with your friends. If you have fun with your friends first, you might find doing your homework to be extra difficult because you might have forgotten how to do it. If you put it the other way round, you can have fun with your friends without a care in the world.
Furthermore, we can use our extra time to achieve our own personal dreams. A person who might want to be a lawyer one day can read some books about law or watch television programs that have law included in it whereas a person who wants to be a writer can buy books that teach you how to write good essays and implicate the knowledge they have learned into writing essays.
We, as teenagers, tend to spend more time in front of the computer and wasting our precious time on things such as Facebook, computer games etc. Think of all the things that we can do rather than spending our time in front of the computer and degrading our eyesight. We could go out and talk to our friends face-to-face and develop some social skills. We could also invite our friends to the nearby park to run and loosen up those aching joints you got from spending so much time indoors.
We also spend a lot of time looking back into our past and regretting our mistakes and wondering what the future holds for us. In doing so, we will neglect the present. So, we should sit back, relax and accept anything that life throws at you no matter how tough it is as we might never live to see another sunrise. Also, we might think that there is a lot of time left to do stuff but there really isn’t any. Because of that, we should stop doing silly things and regret it later and start doing something useful so we will not regret it.
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, and that is why it is called present.” To wrap this essay up, I will advise all those lazy-bums to get up and do something productive instead of wasting their precious time on stuff that are really not important to their daily lives.
New Graduates – You’re the Future
New graduates,
Congratulations,
You're the future,
To lead this world.
Let happiness of this day,
Flow through your lives,
Let whatever you touch,
Turn into success.
But remember this,
Nothing's easy,
Experience doesn't,
Build up overnight.
Knowledge you see,
Is ever increasing,
Keep up with that,
Keep on improving.
Contribute more,
For what you receive,
That's the only way,
To move on in your job.
All your well-wishers,
Parents and teachers,
Are always counting,
On the progress you make.
Wish you all the best,
In everything you do,
Good things will happen,
Let your plans be good.

My Birthday Party
My birthday party is on the eighteenth of November. I share my birthday with my brother because we are twins. My parents organized a birthday party for us. We invited many friends to our birthday party.
On that day, my parents bought a special two-layered fruit cake for us. My mother also made some delicious dishes while my brother and I put up attractive decorations.
Around 6:00pm in the evening, my friends started arriving at our house. They brought along presents for us. The party began with cake cutting. Our friends sang “Happy Birthday” song for us. We enjoyed eating the birthday cake and food prepared for us. We played many interesting games together. We received a very special present from our parent, that was a new bicycle. We were very excited and thanked our parents.
We enjoyed ourselves at the party. The party ended around 10:00pm. I helped my parents to tidy up the house. It was a meaningful day for us. I hope that my parents will organize birthday party for us again.

A Visit To The Zoo
During the last school holidays, my father organized a family trip to Taiping Zoo. The zoo is located in Taiping, Perak.
We went there by our mother’s new car. The journey took us an hour from our house. Upon our arrival, the zoo was already crowded with visitors. My father quickly paid for the tickets and we rushed into the zoo. Inside the zoo, there were two ways to tour around. Visitors can tour around by train provided by the zoo or by foot. We chose to walk around the zoo.
We saw many animals. There were many types of monkeys in the zoo. Some were local and some were from others countries. My sister and I liked to watch the monkeys because they were cute and naughty, just like the children in the school. We saw big monkeys like chimpanzees and orang utans. We also saw other wild animals such as tigers, elephants, lions and alligators. My father introduced many types of animals of animals to us. We snapped lots of photos during the trip to the zoo. I am very excited to have a photo with an elephant at a close distance.
It was a big zoo. It took us three hours to end our tour in the zoo. At the exit, we were exhausted and hungry. We went to a KFC restaurant nearby for lunch. It was a very tiring but fruitful day for us. We hope to visit the zoo again.

The Night In The Desert
The night came so swiftly. As the winds grew stronger and colder, the rate of our footsteps began to slow down. The fine desert sand found its way into our eyes. The long and mysterious path before us seemed to just fade away into the ebony darkness of the starless night.
We saw what looked like a multitude of shadows dancing before us. Perhaps the enigmatic twilight and our exhausted minds were playing tricks on us. Then again, it could have been the nocturnal beings and creatures of darkness lingering and awaiting their prey. In my heart, I wished it was the former, not the latter.
But there was neither strength nor vigour left in our veins to spare for much thought. For three days and three nights had our journey been. It felt as if an eternity had gone by.
The soft sand seemed to swallow our footprints whole. As I turned and looked behind, I could not tell from where our journey had begun, nor could I tell where it would end. Only the cries of beasts echoed in the belly of the ghastly night.
Our words were cloaked in a stutter, trembling from the growing cold. My heartbeat raced as a shocking realization hit the frontiers of my mind – this could very well be my last night alive. I may not live to see a new dawn.

The King Of Fruits
The durian, with its sweet-smelling flavour and creamy taste, is a very popular fruit in Southeast Asia, especially among Malaysians. Due to its popularity, the durian has become known as the king of fruits.
The king of fruits is actually very rich in nutrients. These nutrients are important for nail and hair growth, and in promoting healthy organ functions. Besides, they are also helpful in wound-healing.
Durians can be found only in tropical countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. It only bears fruit two to three times a year depending on the weather. A good quality requires plenty of rainfall and sunlight throughout the whole bearing process. Nevertheless, animals also help to pollinate the flowers.
Finally, the king of fruits is however not enjoyed by some because of the smell but for me it is truly The King of Fruits. So, if it looks good, taste it!

Learning To Ride A Bicycle
I first learned how to ride with training wheels when I was four years old. My dad took my training wheels off my bicycle and taught me how to ride a two-wheeler during the last school holidays.
When I learned to ride my bicycle, I kept on falling and falling. My dad held me but I kept on falling. Learning to ride a bicycle is a challenge for me . Finally, I learned how to ride without falling off.
I like riding my bicycle in the park because it was big and I can see other people riding their bicycles, running and walking with their dogs.
I enjoyed riding my bicycle because it is good exercise, fun and keep us healthy. Riding bicycle is a lot of fun because it makes people happy.

A Trip To Cameron Highlands
Last holiday, my father took us to a famous highland in Pahang, Cameron Highlands. We went there in my father’s new car.
In the early morning, we got ready all the things and left home at 8.00 a.m. After three hours, we reached the foot of the mountain. We stopped for lunch there.
After lunch, we continued our trip. The road was very winding. I felt dizzy and very uncomfortable. I felt like vomitting.
An hour later, we reached our destination. The fresh air in the highlands was very cold and fresh. We checked into the hotel to rest.
The next day, we visited the well-known tea farm, Boh Tea Farm. All the workers in the tea farm were busy picking the tea leaves. After that, we visited many other farms such as flower farm and strawberry farm. The flower farm was filled with colourful and beautiful flowers. The strawberry farm had many strawberries. We picked some strawberries by ourselves and paid at the counter.
On the third day, we went home with a heavy heart. It was a memorable and fun trip. I hoped that we could go to Cameron Highlands again the next holiday.

Best Friend
I still remember the first day we met
We were too shy to say much at all
It's funny to think back to that time
Because now we're having a ball!
They say that true friendship is rare
An adage that I believe to be true
Genuine friendship is something that I cherish
I am so lucky to have met you.
Our bond is extremely special
It is unique in its own way
We have something irreplaceable
I love you more and more each day.
We've been through so much together
In so little time we've shared
I will never forget all the moments
that you've shown me how much you cared.
Friends are forever
Especially the bond that you and I possess
I love your fun-filled personality
Somehow you never fail to impress.
The world could use more people like you
it would certainly be a better place
I love everything about you
You are someone I could never replace.
You are always there for me
When my spirits need a little lift
I cannot thank you enough for that
You are truly an extraordinary gift.
You are everything to me and more
I could never express that enough
Life is such a treacherous journey, and
Without you it would be even more tough.
Our story will continue to grow
With each passing day
Because I trust that with you by my side
Everything will always be Okay.
You are so dear to me
You know I will love you until the end
I will always be there for you, and
You will always be my best friend

A teacher has an important role that should never be taken lightly. They help inspire children to be the best that they can be. For a lot of children their teacher is the only decent role model that they may ever encounter in life. Also, parents have a sense of relief knowing that when their children are at school the teacher will keep them safe. In addition, there are several children who only get the support that they need from their teacher. A preschool teacher's job consists of being a role model, making sure the children are safe, and being supportive.
First of all, a teacher should always be a good role model. Children will imitate adults, so when they see their teacher practising healthy procedures, then they will do the same. It is important that the teacher is on time, finish what has been started, and keep their word. Because when children see this, they start to have the mentality that if my teacher can do it then so can I. Also, being calm and patient when children are being very disobedient is a must. A lot of children are used to their parents yelling at them 24/7. When their teacher talks in a calm and assertive manner then they will start to understand that yelling is not the answer.
Secondly, a teacher should always keep their children safe. The environment should be spacious enough for when the children play, it will help in reducing injuries. The teacher should incorporate games and books that help children in learning safety procedures. The teacher should communicate openly with the children about safe practices. More importantly, there should always be strict supervision.
Thirdly, a teacher should be very supportive of her children. Being supportive helps the children understand themselves and others. The teacher should always encourage and praise her children. This results in the kids having high self-esteem. There are so many children that do not get the support that they need in their families. When the teacher gives them the support that they need, it can change the children's lives for the better.
In essence, teachers have an extremely blessed job. For the most part they are the ones that help children determine their potential. They always have little eyes watching everything that they do, so it is important that the teacher does everything correctly as much as possible. Teachers are responsible for keeping their children safe at all times. It is gratifying for the teacher when they know that they will help at least on child if not more throughout their lifetime of teaching.

A visit to Berjaya Hills
During the holidays, my parents and I went to Berjaya Hills. We spent two days and one night there.
My parents brought me to the Colmar Tropicale. When we reached our destination, we were very excited to see the beautiful view.
We went to the pond to see geese swimming. We moved around the place to see the Horse Trail Rides. It was a new experience for me to ride donkey.
After that, we went to Animal Park. We saw rabbits living in a hutch. They like to hop around. It was hard to catch them because they run very fast.
We also went to the Japanese Garden and wore a kimono to take a photo.
After that, we bought some souvenirs before we went home. This is my best holiday.
We were tired but we enjoyed ourselves very much.

A Big Mistake
I cried myself to sleep that cold winter night. Why did I make such a silly mistake in class? I knew that my best friend, Jade, would never forgive me for that.
That morning, we were all in class waiting for our Geography teacher, Ms Poon, to come in. Jade was very quiet. She used to be a very talkative girl. I wondered why she was so quiet.
“Jade, what’s wrong with you? Are you ill?” She refused to answer. She just kept quiet. I was trying my best to get an answer. Then she shouted at me on the top of her voice. Everyone was very shocked. The class was very quiet.
She pointed her finger at me and said, “I told you not to tell anyone about my stepmother but you did!”
Then I realized that I had broken the promise I made to her. I told the form teacher about Jade’s stepmother. I thought by telling the form teacher, Jade might be called up. But I meant good. Jade was abused by her stepmother. I thought by telling the form teacher, I was, in fact, helping her. Jade shouted at me again and told me to get lost. I tried my best not to cry. I walked out of the class forlornly. I did not talk to anyone that day. I kept to myself.
