National Education Show 2007

All the Primary 5s will get to view the NE Show as the MOE(Ministry of Education)wanted to instill the pride of being a Singaporean to us.They wanted us to have a sense of belonging and patriotism.Our forefathers had paid the price and now the future is in our hands.

The NE Show was held at the floating platform in Marina Bay.We went to view the NE Show on 7th of July.We were very lucky as the other schools' P5 students and us were the first group of people to view the NE Show at the floating platform in Marina Bay instead of viewing it in Padang.

On that particular day,we went into raptures.The mood and atmosphere was vibrant and highly-spirited.There was a variety of performances.

First, there was the parade marching.The parade marchers looked smart in their uniforms.They shot the air with a deafening noise.

Next,the orchestra was performing.They were competent in their instruments.The singers sang merrily.The songs were a language of love and passion.Music was the heartbeat of our lives in Singapore.

After that,it was the skit performance.It was a beautiful sight.Sea creatures were everywhere. Depth of feelings were emanated from the musical.

Finally, there was my favourite performance! It was the parachute and fighter planes performance. It was a captivating sight. We were all spell bound by it and had no inkling as to how they could execute such acts.

After the performances ended, the fireworks mesmerised us. It was the limelight of the show ended, we went back home wearily. It was a really exciting day. We were all highly impressed by the sterling performances. Everyone was sure to be proud to be a Singaporean

Teachers' Day celebration

It was Teachers' Day.Everyone was bubbling with excitement.Just then, an announcement can be heard over the speaker."Everyone please assemble at the hall now, " The corridor was packed like sardines. It was suffocating and the noise was deafening. At the same time, parents were also invited to the Teachers' Day concert.

Our chairperson led us to the hall as we jostled our way through the crowd. There was a variety of performances performed by teachers as we settled down. Everyone was immersed in the performances. However, a shocking fate awaited them. Everyone was spellbound by the two performers dancing on the stage during a performance.

Suddenly, they bumped against each other and knocked their heads. There was a loud yell followed by a thud as they fell on the floor. They were in excruciating pain. Silence broke out. Apalled, parents and pupils burst out laughing. The two dancers' face turned crimson red. The whole hall was filled with laughter. I rubbed my eyes. It was unbelievable. However, the injury looks serious as their heads started swelling up and and the concert had to be called off. What a pity!
After sending pupils back to the class and parents out of the school, the two dancers who were teachers were brought to a nearby clinic. Whenever I think of it, I would laugh uncontrollably. It was an unforgettable incident that I would always remember.

A visit to the hospital

The sun rose in a pool of crimson and gold,spilling light all over the land and the white clouds.Tom was going to school as usual.A shocking fate awaited him.Just as he crossed the road,a luxurious BMW car sped towards him.One moment,Tom was still fine and alive.The next moment,he was lying in a pool of blood.The car which had knocked him down had sped off.
Almost immediately,I dialled 995 for the ambulance.It seemed like an eternity before the ambulance arrived.Soon,wails of sirens of the ambulance could be heard.In an instant,Tom was sent to the hospital.I went to the nearest police station and told the police everything that I knew.
I visited him that day.He was in a hospital ward with bandages around his head,his left hand in a cast and one ofhis leg is broken.He stared at me forlonly.His face twisted with pain as he tried to move.After a while,he gave up and closed his eyes.I looked beside him.A boy,so skinny that you could see his ribcage,was lying on the bed.He had contracted a terminal disease."He is the last stage of his disease and might leave us anytime."The doctor told me.Patients were moaning and groaning while the nurses were busy helping them.
I bade farewell to Tom and left the hospital.I wish to be a doctor when I grow up so that I could save people.
