picture discussion

I think that they are celebrating Singapore national day and as well as celebrating a birthday for the person in the middle. As I can see that they are a lot of participants in the background. And I can see that most of the participants are wearing a cap, with number 30 on it. And most of them are holding a Singapore flag in their hands. So, I think that they are celebrating Singapore’s 30th birthday and there is so many people because they are there to celebrate too. And the person in the middle is holding a cake. So, I think that her birthday in on that day too. That is why, she is celebrating it.
I think that the two people beside the participant in the middle are her family member. So, I think that the person in the middle is very fortunate to have a birthday celebration during Singapore’s national day. And her family members are celebrating it for her. And I can see that she is very elated.
I can see that many people are carrying an umbrella with them. And I think that they are probably sheltering themselves from the direct sunlight as it is very warm.

I think that the participants in the picture are attempting the low elements which I think is the 'spider web'. I think that those participants are probably having some outdoor activities and having a camp at the same time as I can see that the background has trees, and the foreground has grass. I can also see that there is a tent in the background too.
I think that the person attempting the low element is trying very hard and having a hard time to pass through it. The participants on the right and the background seem to be helpful as I can see that they are trying to help the person attempting the low element to pass through. I also can see that they having an outdoor team-building game as I can see that there is team work and cooperation between them. They cooperate together and help each other out. Because the participants on the right and the back is helping the participant attempting the 'spider web' to pass through. And they will know each other better. I can see that they are having a lot of fun and very engaged in this team building game.

a time when i felt unloved

When I was small, there was a time when I fought with my younger brother, because he spoils my things. After that, I was really angry and scolded him and even beat him. He beat me back too. When mummy come and ask what happened, I said that it was his fault to spoil my things and my brother says it was my fault. Mummy, without understanding the situation, scolded me and never scolds my brother.
I was very upset and locked myself in the room. I wrote everything in my diary. I hated my mummy at that moment of time because it is not fully my fault and mummy never scolds brother. And inside my heart, I feel that my mummy does not love me anymore.
But now I can see that my mummy love me very much. So, I think that mummy never scold brother because he was still small, and will spoil things easily.

Ms Jane, says that, '' If you are involved in an accident, the first thing you need to do is call the police. Do not attempt to move your car as this is evidence. Moving your car may result in a void claim, as supporting evidence will be lost if you are not at fault. While waiting for the police to arrive, exchange details with the other driver. Always have a notebook and a pen in the glove box of your car, you never know when you might need a piece of paper to scribble something important down! Information you will need from the other driver is - vehicle registration number, drivers name and address, insurance provider with policy number and their driving license number.''.

Dear Mr Lee
PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PULAU UBIN

I, the president of green plan 2012 club, is sending in my proposal regarding the development of Pulau Ubin.
I have interviewed a number of residents and collated their views. One of the resident, Madam Chan Ah MUi (aged 45, former owner of a kiosk for bicycle rental) says that though you have a good bus service, roads and infrastructure, to make the places around more accessible, you should also need cycling tracks and nature trails.
Another resident, Mr Mohamad Ismail Bin Adam (Headman of the island, aged 74) Says that you should build a clinic and a school there as it is inconvenient for his grandchildren to take a bumboat to the mainland.
A resident, Mr chandran Mohan (aged 20, polytechnic students) considers that pulau ubin should be transformed into a 21th century New Town and can enjoy the best of both world, shopping facilities, nature at the doorsteps. A relaxed way of life.
Mrs Tan Li Lin (aged 32, housewife and part time hawker assistant) says that, there should be reliable water supplies. And she hopes to start a coffee stall as there is a lot of campers and day tripers. And good water supply is important.
Melvin koh ( aged 16, 'o' level student) says that all this will destroy the natural beauty of the island. He says that you should preserve Chak Jawa, the pride of pulau ubin, as a natural reserve.
I hope that you can develop Chek Jawa with the wishes, needs and concerns of the five residents as soon as possible. Hope to get your response soon. Thank You.

Your faithfully

Caught in a storm

Remembering a time when i was young, i was rather scared of thunders and lightnings. There was a time when big cauliflower clouds were boiling up and i seem to be wearing an ominous cap of cloud. Not long, i heard thunder boomed in the distance and after a while, the storm eased. later, down came the pouring rain.
The second storm exploded on me in a chaos of wind, water and noise. There was a earsplitting crack and the air is filled with screams, including mine. At last, i saw a blinding flash and lightning hammered down. I can smell the smell of fear at that moment of time.
