A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed

Have you ever experience the time when your parents went overseas or are out and you were left alone at home? Well... I had experienced it before. Life was pretty good without them.I had lots of freedom. When friends called to ask me out, I could give them a reply immediately, saying 'YES'. When parents are in, they would usually say 'NO'. I had lots of fun when they are out. Both my parents went on a business trip. I was left all alone at home. I switched on the computer and started playing my computer games. I surf the net, watching my favourite television programmes that I had missed. The show was called 'Point Of Entry'. It was really amazing ad exciting. Soon, my stomach was growling loudly. I was very lazy to go all the way to the coffee shop to buy myself a pack of rice. I caught sight of an advertisement of 'MacDonald s'. I thought of an idea. I dial the McDelivery hot-line and order a set of 'Double McSpicy' for myself. Soon, the delivery man arrived at my doorstep and hand over the food to me. I quickly gobbled down the burger to satisfy my growling stomach. After I had finished eating, I continued playing my computer. One can't play the computer forever right? I proceeded to read my favourite storybook, 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. The book was very interesting and I would recommend it to my friends. However, I think that the book might be too easy for a 14 years old boy. This was a moment soent alone, which I had enjoyed very much. Hope you would have one too....

Punctured tyre

Something unusual that happened that day

It was a usual morning. My Dad fetched my brother and I to school. Dad would always drive on the highway as it would only take about fifteen to twenty minutes to reach my school. He also said that driving on the highway saves fuel. I did my usual routine- watching the morning scenery. The car started swifting to the left, my dad tried to keep the car under control but it continued swerving to the left. The car started to slow down. My dad got off the car, only to find out that the car's tyre was punctured. Oh my!!! It was on the highway. I thought: how unlucky can we be.My brother and I would be late for school. How do we get to school? Especially on  highway. No vehicles were allowed to stop on the highway unless your vehicle is broken down. I told my dad that. He said that I have no other choice but to flag a taxi on a highway, if I do not want to be late for school. I strained my neck, hopping to spot a available taxi. There it is. I raised my hand high in the air, hopping that the taxi driver could see me in the dark. The taxi stopped at the shoulder of the road. My brother and I board the Taxi. In the taxi, I took a quick glance at my watched and realised it was already seven o'clock. I told the taxi driver to drive faster or we would be late for school. When I reached school, I ran to the assembly area as fast as I could. By the time I reached there, I was already panting heavily. I looked at my watch, relieved that I do not have to spend my precious recess time doing school services. I wonder how's my dad, whose on the highway, waiting patiently for the breakdown services to arrive. It was truly an unusual day.

A special moment I enjoyed with my family

A special moment that I enjoyed with my family happened last two months. It was my Grandfather's 80th birthday. My Aunt had booked a chalet to celebrate his birthday. At around 8.00am, my Aunt checked in to the chalet. I went along with her to help her out as she was carrying a lot of preparation for the birthday party. We later settled down in the chalet, leaving all our preparation load on the table. We then went to the supermarket to buy snacks and drinks for the barbecue at night. We went to order about 100 to 150 sticks of satay as we serving many relatives at night. Suddenly, it started raining cats and dogs. As we had no umbrella with us, we had to wait for the rain to stop before we could start making our way back. The first thing I did when I was back at the chalet was to switch on the air-conditioner. If you think why is switched on the air-conditioner even after it had rained is because the sun was out even it was raining. The weather was really humid. While waiting for the room to cool down, i went down to help my Aunt to put the drinks in the refrigerator, fill plastic bags with water to make ice blocks. Time really past very fast!! It was already 2pm. Most of the relatives start making their way here. They were told to each come with their home-made food.This would really save a lot of money as catering services is very expensive. I was hoping my cousins could come here earlier to play our favourite family game,"Monopoly Deal". I called up each of them. They said they are on their way. How I wish I could make the clock tick faster. Here they are! We made our way to the room and started on the addicting game. We would always shout and laughed loudly whenever we lose or win. My cousin also taught us how to  play 'Old Maid' and 'Indian Poker'. The games were really fun. It was dinner time!!! My eighty years old grandfather finally came. He was still very healthy and could walk without the help of a walking stick. When he came, everyone started eating, babeling at the same time. Happy 80th birthday grandpa!!! My uncle came walking out with a birthday cake. Everyone sang the birthday song in english and chinese. The birthday cake was specially bake by my uncle. He works as a baker for a famous restaurant. His cake was really fantastic!!! That day was a really special moment that I spent with my family,and an unforgettable one!!!

Something that took place in school

After SA2, we Victorians, would always look forward to that event. That is the post-exam activities. One of them would be the inter-class competition where each class would send a team or two to take part in either floorball or street soccer. For me, I took part in floorball. During assembly, the hall was as noisy as a fish market. Everyone was very excited and some were even discussing tactics. After assembly, my class proceeded to our respective venues and in he mean while, getting ourself ready for the match to start. The whistle blew and the timer started ticking. Each class was cheering loudly and teammates were shouting out loud at each other. After some time, we made some substitutions as we are starting to tire out. Whenever we scored a goal, we would cheer very loud that even people on the fourth floor could hear it. Some opponents were strong while some were easily beaten by us. When I was on the field, I tried to dribble pass the opponents, but lose the ball eventually. That was how lousy I was. But my friend, Nurhan, was amazing. His dribbling skills was superb and shooting skills were amazing. Not to forget, Enrico, a good defender. He was always blocking the opponents from getting pass him. Maybe, I was just an extra guy staying on the field. However, luck was not always on our side. The opponents came up with tricks that tricked as and they eventually got pass our defense. We thought we could clinch the top three positions but unfortunately, we were fourth. But I thought to myself that it's not the win that counts but the joy that we had. If we win, I would be better. The soccer team got a third positions. Congratulations to them. At least, our class won something. I am looking forward to this year's post-exam activites :)

A problem I encountered and how i solved or managed it

Oh... The problem was a really really big one. I swear. When I was in the midst of playing my computer game, its suddenly disconnected from the server. I was not mad at that moment as it always happen. when I click on the game and tried to log in again, its shows' Internet cannot display the web page'. I changed my internet status bar and it shows disconnected. I went on to checked the broadband. Its power indication light blinked for a while and later it turned red. I switched off the main power and switched it back on again. And guess what, the power indication light was not even on. I knew that the broadband has broken down. I was jumping mad at that moment. The next day, my Dad fetched me all the way to Sing-Post just to exchange the broadband for a new one. And you must be thinking my problem is solved when I exchanged for a new one right? But no!!! When i came home to fixed up my new broadband, my computer still can't connect to the internet. It was a new year's eve!!! every was enjoying their television programme while I'm sitting in front of my computer, trying very hard to diagnose the problem. I gave up after many tries of trying to connect. I decided to give a call to the maintenance office. They guide me on connecting to the internet. Another difficulty i came across is that the person who helped me, spoke English that i do not understand. I always needed to say 'I beg your pardon'. But the best thing finally came. My computer was finally connected to the internet, but the phone was still unable to use. But... who cares!!! All I want is my computer.

My thoughts about blogging

This is my first time creating, designing and creating a blog. Its for my school project but i think i will use it and post my life and obstacles in my life in VS. Blogging can help to relieve stress and and express my views without others criticizing my view. If we are emotional, and nobody to talk to, maybe this is the place where i can post my feelings on. Hope my life of 2011 will be better than 2010. My first step towards blogging!!!

No more MIDDLE FINGER!!!

Cedric.... What a nice fractured middle finger u have !!! Haha... School was quite relaxing today. First, it was home economics lesson. We had to wash pots and pans, cutlery and plates. Its was totally a waste of time!!! It was a reading period after home economics. We went to the library and was asked to borrow books to read and to finish up our assignment. As you know, i hate reading books especially those with themes like magical and stuff like that. I picked a book called " Diary of a wimpy kid", which a nice book to read. Its actually talks about a boy who describe his life and that during the summer holidays he would rather stay at home and be a couch potato, playing games, watching television. Overall i would rate it a 8/10. Geography teacher was not here today as he is away for the secondary 1 orientation camp. And during maths lesson we did worksheets on algebra. I swear its really easy! And then... the school bell rings and wohoo!!! Schools over!!! only for the day-.- haha... get well soon cedric. i mean the farctured middle finger

1st day of school of 2011

Its the first day of school. Happy to see friends back in school. Some have grown taller but some... still remain as short. I'm not used to being called a secondary 2 and even wrote my class as 1H instead of 2H. Teachers teaching my class changed except for a few subjects like Home economics. Being the monitor of this notorious class, getting into trouble here and there but still I'm still happy to serve this class. Hope this year will run smoothly and study hard guys!!!
