Elijah's Life Experiences

Here is an essay on "A severe car accident" , written when I was in Primary Four (10 year old). Blurry-eyed, Mr Tan woke up and wondered aloud, “What is the time now?” On seeing the time on his alarm clock, he jolted up in shock. It was seven in the morning! In a split second, he dashed to the bathroom. Finishing his shower, Mr Tan dressed into his work clothes and whooshed off to the dining room. Mrs Tan was as busy as a bee in the kitchen preparing breakfast. At that moment, Mrs Tan spotted Mr Tan at the corner of her navy blue eyes and said, “You really need to have a sense of urgency.” When Mrs Tan saw that Mr Tan was in the dining room, she hastily placed her husband’s breakfast onto the dining table. Wolfing down his breakfast in five minutes, Mr Tan kissed Mrs Tan on her right cheek and said, “Bye dear. See you tonight.” Three minutes later and he had clambered into his fifteen year old rickety car and was soon driving off. Blinking continuously to...

Here's a short story I wrote about the "Voyage to a new life - a coconut's tale" .          Do you know who I am? Let me give you a clue. I am the common fruit you see on trees flourishing by the coast with a brown husk. Yes, you have it right. I am no other than a smooth skin coconut! Let me tell you about my life. I have always had a laid-back life, spending my time relaxing and gazing the surroundings around me. The other day I caught a glimpse of a boy who had looked exactly like a barrel. However, my peaceful and comfortable life soon changed forever on that fateful Friday afternoon …          The sea glittered invitingly under the rays of sunshine, beckoning people to swim in its cold but nonetheless refreshing waters. As usual, I was doing my business of gazing around, marveling the beautiful scenery. I was daydreaming that I had barely noticed a monkey reaching out and snatching me from...

"Jealousy" - a common and often felt expression towards family and friends. Here is an essay around this topic I wrote.             Insanely jealous.             I had always been insanely jealous of my baby brother, Rayson. From the day Rayson was born, an immense and unexplainable jealousy built up in my heart. The time that my parents used to spend with me was now wasted on a baby who always made incessant ear-piercing cries and toothless grins. Most of my parents’ attention and affection had been inevitably diverted from me to Rayson. I hated the very sight of him. My insane jealousy became a thing of the past on one fateful Saturday …             I eyed Rayson with envious cynicism as I watched the last episode of Glee, the teenage drama. As usual, my face darkened when I saw my brother strut...

Here is an essay on " Pride comes before a fall - the story of Katherine Cahill" - a lesson or reminder for a number of us to take note of in one way of another. Enjoy ...          Arrogance.          Intelligence, beauty, you name it. Katherine Cahill had it all. She was a girl with striking features that most girls had wished longingly for. Slender, delicate, Katherine was a sixteen-year-old girl, with fair porcelain skin, luxuriant jet-black hair and eyes of a deep violet.          Her eyes.          Those eyes of Katherine were bright, sparkling like diamonds, full of intelligence. Your first impression of Katherine would be a young lady of bedazzling beauty. However, do not judge a book by its cover. Below Katherine Cahill’s attractive appearance lies an unbecoming arrogance. When Katherine walked – she ...
