| 2. Write about a time when the behaviour of someone you knew/know changed drastically and inexplicably.
Changed, to become different or undergo alteration.
Change, everyone changes. Be it a major change or minor change. People do change, and we, have to learn to take their change as something positive, as something beneficial. It's easy to say, but somehow when it comes to actually doing it, we struggle.
There was this happy go lucky girl whom everyone looks for when they need advise or when they need someone to confide in, everyone would have thought that she would be the perfect friend. The friend who understands your every need, the friend who is always there with you to brave through thunders. But, even the most 'perfect' friend makes mistakes, even the most 'perfect' friend is selfish, she is after all human.
I still remember the first time we talked, it was like any ordinary day, the sun was shinning ,the birds were chirping, the bells were ringing... We talked like we've known each other for years, it was never ending. We talked about everything under the sun, from hello panda to the twits we see everywhere. It was amazing, the connection we had, the ability we had to communicate for hours despite the fact that it was only the first.
Then came the second, and the third, and the fourth which eventually lead to our daily midnight talks. I was impressed by you, yes you. The very fact that you are able to make me confide in you, the very fact that I could trust you so readily without doubting you once, the very fact that I felt so safe with you around. The feeling was something so different, it was not a feeling of love nor adoration. I felt light, like I could walk on clouds, I was on cloud nine. I was overjoyed with the idea of having someone to lean back on, instead of having to play the role of 'adviser' all the time.
Of course there were moments whereby I was the one providing you with my 'manly' shoulders. It was this particular incident which brought your friendship to a much higher level. One night just as I was watching the television, I received a call, from you. All I heard was soft whimpers coming from the other end. I admired you for your courage, for being able to breakdown in front of me- a girl.
From then on, the daily midnight talks lead to daily 24/7 talks. No matter what we would be able to have a way of communication. You soon became my one and only confidant and I was yours. How far does that seems now!
Just then, i met a guy. He was our great friend, we were the three musketeers. Everything in my life was going on so well, but you had to make a selfish decision, a decision which was bent on ruining what we had built up. You knew of the consequences but you didn't care, you still left. You left me alone, lost and confused. I had no one else to confide in, no one to pour my heart out to, no one to whine and complain all i want, no one to count on anymore. I was alone, all alone. Oblivious to my surroundings, I shut off from the rest of the world. I didn't understand why you had to leave, why you left without an explanation, why you left without saying goodbye.
Just when I was getting on with my life, you finally gave me the explanation I've been wanting to hear for so long. but it broke my heart to see how fragile our friendship was, how easily broken it was. It hurts me knowing that you didn't have faith in me. With that, it was the end, finally a proper goodbye.
I miss my best guy friend.

| 2. Write about a time when the behaviour of someone you knew/know changed drastically and inexplicably. I know people do change as they grow, I know people change to adapt to new situation, but why does it need to be her who changed? I do not mind if it was someone else who changed, I know I am selfish but we used to be so close and things just changed completely. I do not even know the reason behind your changed, perhaps you were possessed at the very point of time when you told me those offending things. Things i would never expect from you were blabbled out of your mouth. Those words hurt me abd i now know that the change is irreversible. We were once the best of friends, confiding in each other about almost anything under the sun. I never hesitated to tell you my deepest secrets and you were always so ready to share yours with me too. It was not until secondary two that we got that close. However the reason behind our closeness was we were thrown into a situation that not many could imagine much less go through it and we only had each other to depend on which just brings us closer and i guess we grew onto each other. In a way, I was glad that unfortunate situation was thrown to us because i had gotten a good friend in the process. You used to be this sensitive person who always knew the correct thing to say to console people and that was what made me want to confide in you. You were always ready to listen to me and always there beside me to support me no matter what happen. With your presence around, i never felt left out by the others because i know you would always be there for me. As we grew up, boys came into the picture. He came into yours and suddenly you are always so overwhelmed by him that you occassionally forgot me. I do not mind it because everyone goes through this and it really is no big deal. But then came the time when you started spending more time with him than me, i thought it was alright as it seemed normal then. When problems started arising in our cca, we would rant it out together with me crying buckets of water and you being sane beside me. At that point of time i was like totally glad to know you did not change and we could still resume our happy times together. I realise that it was not at all true. What you had shown me all along is just a mask that you used to hide your true self from me. When that mask was ripped off your face, the revealation was not at all pretty, it was hideous. You were no longer the sensitive, sweet friend anymore, you are just but another back-stabbing freak. Maybe it was knowing him that got you brain-washed but you kept me in the dark for so long from your true self. Now I am not even sure who i have been confiding into these past years, I am utterly confused. How could someone changed so much during that short period of time? When we rant together that night, you told me i could count on you. But the next day, you came lecturing me on how immature and childish i was that night. Weren't you there too? Were you not part of that episode? You never used to be like that but you have turn into a scary monster who i do not even want to know now. I now know that he have the ability to influence you that much that cause a change in your personality. It's like i just went to sleep and in the midst of that i lost the good friend i once had. How unbelievable life could be, so unexpectable. I was shocked at the change in you but what could i do? I miss the friend i knew last time. The one whom i could confide in, the one who would always be the sensitive one and the one who was always by my side. Without you, life would never be the same, there would be no more mall raids by us, no more late night talks on the telephone and no more sharing of secrets with you. Maybe you just got more sophisticated overnight and by influence from him, but i doubt so. Do you not treasure the bond we had last time? Maybe it meant nothing to you at all. Nevertheless, life has to go on no matter if you lose your best friend or not. I guess I just have to get over it and get on with my life, my studies and my friends. It will be hard to find another person i could feel safe confiding in but i may not even trust anyone anymore. What had been changed cant be unchanged. But i still wish that you would come to me and say "Let's go back to last time, i was brain-washed by that dumb guy!" Hearing that, i will be happy because we would be back as best friends going back on our life journey together. CHOOWANLING! | |

(Where did my ricebowl ran to ) HAHAHAHAHAHA
sorry i pangsehed you 
Okay serious ,
Good morning principal and teachers,
This morning I am here to talk about our schools' graduation night which is also known as prom. I'm sure that you have heard of our schools' graduation night being held in our school air-con hall. There have been much discontentment regarding this matter among the students. As such, I am here to represent the student body to voice out our opinion.
Firstly, graduation night have always been a grand affair in our school, with the booking of a spacious ballroom with fabulous first class food and first rate service, not forgetting an experienced DJ ! However we have been told that this would be replace with our very own crampy school hall with food ordered from the hostel with our student councilors to play as our "maids" and someones dad to play DJ. This would be a wide contrast wouldnt it? As students we understand that the school is worried about the cost of holding an extravagant event, but in check with a current survey, I have found out that most of the student body, are willing to fork out money for their graduation night. They are willing to spend a larger amount of money on something worthwhile rather then having to save money to attend an even which would not meet up to their expectations.
Secondly, I doubt that the tiny school hall would be able to host a dinner party due to the limited space available. By cramping 450 students together in a room would certainly be very uncomfortable, causing the students to feel suffocated and unhappy.
Lastly, graduation night marks the end of the journey for the secondary four students. It's a very much anticipated night for it is the last time whereby students of the same year are all gathered together in the same room to spend their last moments in school together. Graduation night is also a form of reward for the secondary four students, to reward them for their four years of hard work, allowing them to relax and unwind after undergoing through months of torture. As such I believe that this once in a year event should be allowed to be a party of extravagance a party of happiness a party of memory. I believe that the school board would want our students to leave the school with a strong sense of belonging and this can be done so by providing students with good memories. I, personally would be very much disappointed should I find myself celebrating my prom night in school and i trust that my fellow schoolmates out there would feel the same way too.
With that, I would like to conclude by asking the school board to once again reconsider their decision and to give the students the graduation night that we have always dreamt of.
Thank you.

| Why parents should give their teenage children more control? Dear parents, the purpose of my being here today is to encourage you to give your teenage children more breathing space and freedom. giving them more control does not mean letting them do what they want.it only means letting them decide what they should or should not do.in other words, if they were to make the wrong decisions, it will only screw up their life because they lost total control over it. you must firstly know the fact that your teenage children are no longer 5 year old kids, they can tell right from wrong and they know what to do so that it benefits them.you should know your child well enough that they would not make stupid decisions to endanger their lives.you need to have a strong rapport with them first before you can trust them in order to give them more space.all this starts from young. you were all teenagers once so you ought to know how they feel, how they like to do things their ways and how they do not like to be controlled.by controlling them more when they do not like it would only make them detest you and turn rebellious.so why not compromise with each other to achieve a successful relationship with them? give them control over their live bit by bit.let them have a feel of it first before giving them total control.believe in your child, trust that they would do the correct thing, because they would if they are in the right mind.if they show you that they treasure it, then they deserve it. lastly, i would like to give a gentle reminder to you, if they are over doing it or not having any respect for you anymore then they have lost it, take their control back and show them that they have to earn it.and yes, it may be harsh but there ought to be some basic discipline.that's all for today.thank you very much for your attention. wanling | |
