Look at this video, live the moment and fell their pain.

The war scene was horrible. Apart from the constant sounds of bullets, there were the frequent screams of men being shot. The atmosphere was tense, one could not predict who was being shot or shooting at, one could only pray it was not him. After bullet sounds come, one can predict that another men has died.Men on the battlefield were fighting their hearts out, for their country and its survival. In front of me was a man who lost his leg due to a mine. From his eyes, i could see the sorrow and pain in his eyes. He was desperately screaming and howling for help, yet someone like me could not do anything. A war scene is never a nice one, it brings sorrow to your life. When returning from every trip, i felt that i have grown much more. Experiencing it yourself is an incredible chance to increase you knowledge and wide your world.

Cooking Recipe!

Today, I am going to teach you how to make a cheesy melt breakfast sandwich.

What you will need: 2 bigger pieces of multigrain bread, ham/ sausages, cheese (preferably in squares slices), butter and a few pieces of cabbage.

First of all you will have to peel the plastic off your cheese and rinse your cabbage. If you eat a lot for breakfast, you could make 2 sandwiches, otherwise 1 sandwich will make you full.

Add some butter on your pan and heat it for 3 minutes, It will turn into a brownish liquid. Then place your bread directly on top of it. For about 20 second, the bread will sizzle. Then turn it around and fry the other side. The appearance of it will be brownish golden. Do the same for the second piece of bread

Then , add the piece of cheese on the slice of bread.

Heat it in your microwave of oven for about 1 minute at medium wattage (400w) while you are frying the other piece of bread.

Add the ham or sausage and the cabbage onto the sandwich and enclose it with the send piece of bread and……

You have your cheesy melt breakfast sandwich!

The bread will have an oily and crispy texture to it and it will be amazing! The smell is just as nice with the smell of cheese, butter and the toasted bread. If you are very health cautious, you could use none fat butter, you will get the same effect!

As long as you follow the steps above, your cheesy melt sandwich will sure taste amazing!

Dear Mr. Nick Jones,

I am Fan Yiheng from Singapore and studying in Hwa Chong Instituition. Today my teacher gave us an assignment about japan and I came across your article. I sympathies with you and the plague in Japan. From what I see on TV and the newspapers, the earthquakes and tsunami have don’t tremendous damage to Japan. I believe that Japan will be able to bounce back from this incident as how it did 70 years ago during the nuclear bombing. Your family must be terribly affected by the disasters and I hope your family will stay strong and live through this incident.

Your story has been amazing and it just shows how fortunate I am in Singapore with no natural disasters as we are shielded by, many courtries. You are also very fortunate as you and your family are safe and sound. We all over the world shall pray for you and others in Japan. I will try my best to help you all in Japan by donating money.

Many are dead and missing, and some of my close friend’s family are affected. I do feel your pain. The nuclear disaster is of great danger and I really hope that “Chernobyl” will not happen again. I really hope you can write more so that other people and me around the world will be able to be informed about how life is over at Japan as we will never be able to experience this firsthand.

My school has been actively collecting donations to help benefit the people in Japan. I would also like to donate more. Would it be possible for you to suggest an organization for us to direct funds to?

With all my gratification and condolence, I hope Japan will recover from this incident and be strong again.

Regards,

Fan Yiheng.

Thanks all for commenting on the photo colin, sebastian and leon were close. it is a story about me comparing my life with my children to show the difference between the life of the different generations. Yifan what you commented is just the setting you did not even guess. Peisong try harder nect time

Imagine this:

In front of me, i see the scenic view of a far away house. As i look down from the hill, i see the view of the whole forest below me, i feel as if i am at the top of the world, taking a deep breathe, the air here feels much fresher that at home, in my apartment in the city. The skies here seem brighter in the day and the dark skies are the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. The forest and sky blend into one with perfect harmony. The house fits in like it was meant to be there.I still remember the first time i came here when my parent brought me here as a child. I said in a naive tone," Mom, one day i am going to live here, and live here with you! we could lead a carefree life!". Now i look back upon the days where i was so childish, a smile came on my face as the innocence of a child is lost forever, one day i am going to bring my child here too to see what he would say. maybe it would be different, maybe it would be even more naive and innocent.

“Success is not always about winning, but the journey” this is what Jerry Sloan, head coach of the Utah Jazz NBA team said in the 90s when they lost the finals. This quote is extremely true in my case just that I took my own sweet time to understand it, but now after my first year in Hwa Chong basketball team, I have finally seen the light. I can still vividly recall the day when we lost to Fajar secondary school. It cost us the fourth place in the zonals and a chance to play in the nationals. It was the basketball season and we did well for our first round of basketball. From the very beginning of the match the scores were running neck to neck. We were sometimes leading by only 1 point and then trailing by 1. After being a part of a winning basketball team in primary school, I was accustomed to winning and losing was ‘unacceptable’ in my dictionary. Having such close scores was also unusual and I was uneasy with the looming thought of defeat. I tried to score as much as I could but to no avail, I only scored 8 out of the mere 43. In the end, we lost by just 1 point. It was a great disappointment when we missed the last shot and lost the victory that was just within our grasp. How could this even have happened? Weren’t we stronger than the other team? These thoughts circled my mind as I pondered on the loss. It was really a disappointment to me as I thought that only few of their players were good and we missed too many shots. Although it was ‘unacceptable’ to me, I had to face the truth and accept that loss. My emotions took over and i cried. It wall to let my grief out. It cost us a change to go further. The year has been hard on me, but I have learnt many things, but its not always about winning. I have my wonderful teammates to thank for going through these ‘turbulent’ times with. We had bonded as one and now we are as close as ‘brothers’. We have gone through all those ups and downs and we are closer than ever. One of them would be Sebastian. He has helped me in many ways and I thank him for being by my side each time. Over time, our team has improved. Although we are not as good as those teams at the top, to me we are the best. It’s not always about winning to me now. Some may think that at the adolescent age of 14, one should not reflect upon one’s life and should live the moment, but I think that only by learning from errors of your past could you be able to do better in the future. The internal conflict going within me has been resolved by this very statement made by Jerry Sloan

The setting of to kill a mockingbird is set in Maycomb county the town where the Finchs’ live. Maycomb, some twenty miles east of Finch’s Landing, was the county seat of Maycomb County。 The story states that Mr. Finch works in the area. Maycomb is repeated many times in the story and there is a vivid description of it “Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer’s day”. Maycomb is also a white town as there are description of the Finch’s neighbours. “It was customary for every circle hostess to invite her neighbors in for refreshments, be they Baptists or Presbyterians, which accounted for the presence of Miss Rachel (sober as a judge), Miss Maudie and Miss Stephanie Crawford.” It describes the fine ladies in town and how they live their lives in Maycomb County.
