Drawing Close

As the days of college life approaching,I somehow have a mixture feeling of excitement and anxiety.Long for the brand new student life in a college that is not bound to any rules; while worry for the bad rumours that I have heard of from my friends about college.z

'It's a phase of life',said a friend of mine.To most of the teenagers nowadays,they will continue to pursue their education after secondary level.Parents will make sure that their children get the best education before embarking on another stage of life~working.

To those adults,working is something unpleasant to do.Majority live to work.They claim that working is the only way to earn income.A significant and excellent education ensures one to have a well-paid job upon graduating.So,that's their definition of life.

Folks in the past did not emphasise on education.In fact,most of them are not comprehensively educated.They had to help reduce the burden of their family and yet they lived a happy life.

A degree now is apparently the least requirement for applying a job(even not a very decent one).Time passed,things changed.I believe that most kids now only remember school and tuition centre as the most-visited place during their childhood.Loads of them acquire spectacles even at a tender age as a result of being exposed to video games,TV,handphones and a lot more other devices for a long period of time.

I wonder what awaits me in the future as the time continues to flow in a frightening rate.

Heated Afternoon

A blazing hot afternoon with a glaring sun hanging on the sky,I could felt the unbearable heat eventhough my standing fan was right in front facing me.I was at my aunt's house,when she asked me to do her a favour(help her chop a tree in the garden).So,my invaluable experience began with me holding a blade on my right hand.It was a guava tree,its trunks were as solid as a rock though.I gave a first swing of my blade towards the tree,and the blade apparently only sliced its skin off it.My 2nd attempt and 3rd one were much stronger than the 1st try.To my dismay,I only inflicted some minor damages to the tree,let alone chopping the whole tree off.I realised it would not be as easy as I had thought.I continued hitting the tree,without realising how much time had drifted past,till one of its trunk fell down.The difficult task eventually lasted for nearly half an hour,but my shirt was completely soaked with sweat.No choice for me as I had to clean myself up.

I found this experience exciting and looking forward to it again.

Unfortunate Duo

"A couple assaulted by a gang of 4,the guy suffered a severe injury to his foot and her girlfriend raped." I heard this shocking news from the radio while on the way out in the morning.According to the news,the couple was on the way back home at 10p.m. before being chased by an unknown car.The car,alleged to be deliberately hitting the couple's car several times from the back while chasing them,was believed to be intending to rob the couple by creating an accident.The driver,however sensed something wrong and tried to escaped by increasing the speed of his car.The 10km chase finally ended when the couple drove into an alley in a town(a place where they were not familiar with).The couple's car broke down while they tried to reverse their car.Knowing that they were in great danger,the girl called her boyfriend's brother,seeking for help.Her effort was to no avail.His lover's brother without an ado contacted the police station but he ended up being denied a helping hand.The officer who picked up the call refused to lend a helping hand and the reason given was that he was not in charge of the territory where the couple was at.Feeling helpless and anxious,the victim's brother decided to look for the couple himself.Unfortunately,it was too late as the gang of 4 eventually got them.Pointing a blade at each of the victim's neck,the 4 robbers snatched away cash,handphones and some valuables.They then continuosly punch and kicked the male victim,slashed his left leg before forcing them into their car and drove them to a forest.There,one of the robbers stayed in the car as the other 3 took turn to rape the female victim,as her badly-beaten boyfriend could only watched helplessly and painfully.The couple was left by the roadside as the robbers fleed with their car.With her boyfriend lying unconsciously on the ground,the mentally and physically-tortured woman could only wave and yell for help from by-passers.They were then sent to hospital by a family who went past the spot.

According to the press,the victim's brother blamed the cops for being not responsible.'Had the cop who received the call took action,this tragedy would not have happened',he said furiously and emotionally.

I wish the concerned department could repent on their mistakes so that such incident will not occur in the future.

A Day at Genting

7a.m. 3rd June Sunday
After packing up and having breakfast,my family and I headed for Genting in a relaxed mood.The traffic was smooth and we arrived there at about 9a.m.

We weren't planning to stay overnight,instead decided to seize the day by playing our heart out.The 1st place to visit was the 'Snow World'.Well,with the thermometer's reading stopped at -4 Celsius,I soon realised it'll be a freakishly freezing experience inside.As expected when we got in,the cold inside was indescribable.Took some photos there and we actually ate ice-cream in there!Though only stayed for approximately 40 minutes,the chilling experience would forever be engraved in my mind.

So,it was afternoon and we had lunch at KFC.Literally every corner was packed with crowd and we had to settle at a table near the corner.It was not that bad though.

Next stop-Genting Theme Park.
'Arghhhhh!!!' The people up in the sky playing space shot shouted hysterically."wow" I thought to myself.It's fun!I wanna join up the queue as well! But apparently the line was leading to no ending.I can't even see the last person queueing there.Lol.So the whole family went for this'Matahari' to have a complete view of the park.After that we walked to the 'Dinosaur Land'.There,I saw a crazy guy using his handphone doing a recording,with him as the person doing the talking,as if he was hosting a TV show.Continuously he repeated 'don't underestimate the recording,it can go on show on TV3 anytime'.Oh my god,I laughed in my heart.Fortunately or unfortunately,we were the last group of people who managed to get on to a rake that would lead us into the Dino land before it rained.We were stranded in the island and what?trapped in a Dino island?We were lucky to survive then.The rain seemed never to come to a halt.Everything had to stop operating.Everybody waited impatiently and started grousing.



The pouring rain had eventually become a mere dazzle.The mist was thick and the floor appeared to be slippery.Everyone was forced to walk with caution.We then went for one of the thrill rides(also one of those that was open for play)-spinner.My parents refused to join though.As it neared to our turn,our heart pounded in a significant pace.Never had I imagined that the ride would turn out to be such a fun!I thought it'd be the last thing we play before we went home as the rain didn't stop.But we decided to give it a little longer wait,and our patience paid off.The rain did stop and we got to stay a moment longer and played a couple more of things.

Later,we went for 'Tea Cup',a souvenir shop to buy some memorable items,'Pirate Train','Pirate Ship' and at last a stage?!There actually was a contest at the'Merdeka Stage' just next to the 'Pirate Ship'.The host was to give out prizes for contestants upstairs.To my dismay he called my dad and I upstairs to participate in one of the competitions.We were to hold as many 'mister potato' cans as possible using any of our body part.Surprisingly,I won the contest with 19 cans(How did I do it?) and got a pack full of junk food and snacks.

Time to say bye to Genting finally.We were all tired but satisfied with the journey and went home reluctantly(my bro and sis did though).The mist was still thick and the rain accompanied us way back till we were home.

Book Fest 2007

Yesterday I went to the Book Fest 2007 organised by Popular Co. at KLCC.It was the 2nd time Popular was organising it and my 2nd visit in 2 years as well.So as i expected,the crowd was enormous and the amount of books was apparently uncountable.Well,i wasn't alone.My cousin bro and his friend went there with me as well.Upon arriving there,we had lunch at DOME.Believe it or not,that was the 1st time I dine-in there.I remembered before I left home,I'd promised my bro and sis that I'd buy them some books as they were forbidden to go along.I spent nearly 4 hours there searching books,only less than quarter of the time used was for my own sake.Though I'd searched painstakingly literally every corner to get my siblings' books,all my effort turned out to be vain.Therefore,I just grabbed some books which I thought were suitable to them and a book for myself before going back.Sorry to my sis as I didn't bring her back anything except a horoscope bookmark.

*I think I had better treat her to a meal as a form of apology* ~not a bad idea,I suppose~
