Elijah's Life Experiences

Here's a piece of work I did up when I was in Primary Four (10 years old) " Never be late again! Primary Four work" . “Never be late again! Understand me?” stern words of Serene’s teacher, Mrs Ann echoed in her mind as she pasted a note to remind herself never to be late ever again. She had learnt a valuable lesson that day. It was a Tuesday morning. The sun bathed the ground with warmth and sunlight. The streets were bustling with vehicles as parents ferried their children to school before proceeding to the office. Serene’s alarm clock rang incessantly, signaling the start of yet another routine school day. Serene woke up with a jolt. On noticing that it was seven o’clock, Serene’s face turned as pale as death. At that moment, her jaw fell in utter shock. After that, Serene whooshed off to the bathroom as quick as a wink finished her shower. Serene hastily dressed up into her school uniform and tore down the stairs. Her mother, Mrs Gan, who was tapping her foot i...

Here's another harrowing experience about " Danny’s Dreadful Drowning Incident" . The incident that occurred to Danny always sends shivers down his spine whenever he recalls it. In fact, Danny can remember the incident so vividly till this day. The chain of events started on a Saturday afternoon. Fluffy white clouds floated across the clear blue sky. The sun blazed unforgivingly. The sand glittered gold in the sun as Danny, Dick and Tim, most affectionately known as The Three Musketeers played with their red beach ball. There were a lot of people at the beach. Some were sun tanning, while others were having a picnic. Adrenalin pumped through their bodies as the three boys played “Catch it if you can!” Danny taunted both Dick and Tim. At the same time, he tossed the beach ball with all his might beyond Dick and Tim’s reach. The ball landed onto the deep end of the water. A current had carried it further away from the shore. Danny was dreadfully upset. Dick ...

Exams are over and I'm back posting more essays. My next one "Nasty Encounter with a Snatch Thief" for your reading pleasure ...    As the saying goes ‘Low crime doesn’t mean no crime’. The police are always reminding citizens to be vigilant and observant of their surroundings. Criminals spring up at the most unexpected times and might take advantage of them. It is mostly the women who are likely to fall prey to these criminals. Here is a story of a theft that had occurred to a middle-aged lady. “A few more metres and I will reach the bus stop!” convincing herself as Mrs Gan took another stride. She had just finished her shopping and was walking to the bus-stop to catch a bus back home. Mrs Gan almond shaped eyes scanned her surroundings and inched her way towards the bus-stop she was heading to. At that juncture, a black motorcycle with two men whizzed out from nowhere and sped towards a panic-stricken Mrs Gan. As audacious as the day, the pillion rider lu...

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 ...

The title of my next essay is " What happens when you turn a deaf ear to your elders?" . Have a read to see what happens ...  Blurry-eyed, Jane woke up and thought aloud. What is the time now? Seeing the time on her alarm clock, she gasped in horror. With a whoosh, Jane rushed towards the bathroom like a speeding bullet from a revolver. It was already seven in the morning! Jane finished her bath and dressed into her school uniform all within the time frame of seven minutes. Mrs Tay shook her head when Jane came out. “You should really have a sense of urgency,” Mrs Tay told her, her voice indicative she was angry. Her blue eyes stared at Jane as Jane wolfed down her breakfast of ham sandwiches. Mrs Tay also reminded Jane to take an umbrella along. The sky looked dark grey, which could mean that there was an impending storm. Unfortunately, Jane simply turned a deaf ear on her mother’s advice and replied defiantly in a huff, “You don’t think I’m that stup...
