An impatient middle-aged lady | Short description | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Description of a middle-aged lady who is always impatient to getting things going

            When she passed by, most people would thing of her as a nice and pleasant-looking middle-aged lady. In my mind, however, she is none other than our notoriously impatient neighbour, Mrs Wong. One could always sense her arrival by the unique ‘click-click-click’ sounds made by her gleaming designer high-heeled shoes. With her face as smooth as porcelain and the lustrous silky black hair cascading down her shoulders, Mrs Wong appeared to be a rather good-looking woman. However, as you get to know her better, you would see her in a different light. For instance, try having a simple conversation with Mrs Wong, and you would notice her initially pleasant demeanor transform. Less than five minutes unto the conversation, her face grew grim and she would become tight-lipped. Then with a tone of finality in her voice, she would just end the conversation with a regal wave of her hand and move off hurriedly as if she was trying to catch a train leaving the platform.


Till the next time,

Stuck in the lift | Short essay, story for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"Stuck in the lift" - an experience I am sure a number of you may be able to relate to ... but in this particular case though, it was a little worse than the usual one ...              Brave.             I had always thought I was brave. As brave as a lion. Not fearful of anything.             Until the lift had broken down.             I was waiting patiently for the lift doors to open. A mother and her daughter waited patiently. The mother, clad in a light blue dress made of best quality material, clutched her daughter’s hand. Her lustrous blond hair cascaded down her well-toned shoulders. My innermost thoughts were soon jolted by the familiar mechanical sound of the lift’s doors opening. If only I had reconsidered taking the stairs … ...

Another one from the old collection of my Primary Two (8 years old) essays. I did this one at home. Fishing Trip It was a hot and blistering day .   Tom and his father decided to go to the river to fish.   It was Tom’s first fishing trip and he didn’t want to miss it.

Marooned on an island | Essay for 10 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Hey there. Here's an adventure story " Marooned on an island" from me - a departure from my usual essay topics. Hope you enjoy this!             “No. This cannot be happening,” I muttered to myself as I stared at what was right before my bespectacled eyes. I had been marooned on a deserted island. The ship I was in had run aground.             The sun shone brilliantly and the high clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. My hands felt clammy. I tried looking for any signs of human activity but there was nobody in sight. The thought of being all alone sent shivers down my spine.             Being positive, I decided to go in search of food for myself. Arriving at the entrance of the jungle twenty minutes later, I was trembling like a leaf and my heart pounded wildly as I staggered uninhabited jungle on the i...
