Story review

The story that i wan to share with u guys was a story of pontianak.

This picture is one of  the pontianak picture that wasn't scary and was beautified.

The author of the story lived in a zinc roofed house near a botanic garden. One evening after playing the whole afternoon he was walking home some time between seven or eight. He saw a dark shadow which was very terrifiying. He thought that i was the pontianak which her mother told him before to keep him from coming home early. He tried not to attract it's attraction but unfortunately he step a  stick and made a loud noise. The creature turned to him and he saw his face. A face with white glistening white teeth and its hand was holding something. Oh My God it is holding his pet rabbit. He ran as fast as he could but the creature was too fast. The creature pass through him and turned around facing him. He doesn't have any choise but to fight.He pick up the brick and fight against him hitting his head as hard as he could. It is working! The pontianak ran away. He went back to find his pet but it couldn't been found.


I think that this story tells us that every human can really summoned everything they could when facing death or fear. To saved ourselves we could do everything with strength and intelligence that are stronger than normal times.

School-age

Since studying from kindergarten till now sitting in front of this computer typing this essay, lots of thing I had already learnt. Learning those things together with my friends and teachers. They might just a passer-by through our life but we learned lots of knowledge from them.

During kindergarten, friendly teacher are the good teacher in our mind but for those who aren't friendly they are always the devil teacher. I thinked that I did lot of silly things that i will even laugh at myself now. And Yes! I did cry on the 1st day=.=

During primary, commonly the teacher are more strict than kindergarten's one. When we are primary school, we always make fake relationship between our schoolmates and laugh at them. But nowadays, in secondary school, you can see couples everywhere.

It is just fun to have school but too bad to have exams and homeworks. Oh yeah to experience with my friends and teachers and Oh Crap to those homeworks.

Story of Sherlock Holmes

This is one of the story of the famouse Sherlock Holmes.The plot of the story is that one day Sherlock Holmes was awaked one morning by the door bell. When he opened a door a woman came to him and seek his help. It was about the woman family. The woman's mother died long ago and left the woman and her sister as well as their uncle some assets.The woman mother said that if her daughters get married that could take 1/3 of the assets.

The help of the woman seek was that one year ago when her sister was about to get married, she died before the night of her wedding there.Before few days she died, she told the woman that she had heard creepy music performed by the band.It was the gipsy who live near their house.And now the woman is about to get married and heard the music that was told by her sister.

So, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson decided to check out the woman house. After solving some mysteries, they found out that the murderer wasn't the gipsy but the uncle! The uncle was so selfish that he don't want the asset was shared to his nephew.

The story tells us that we must not harm our relative to get something we want. Besides, we must alert all the time because danger could be anywhere beside us.

English lesson

1st of all, lot of changes has been made in this new year as a senior student. As for English lesson, i found it quite interesting because it included lots of works using computer. I prefer works by using computer than papers work. It is because my writing isn't as 'pretty' as I expected. The only thing that I dislike is that going to the computer lab on the 1st period during every Saturday. It makes me feel sleepy =.=

Impression after studying the book.

After finishing this book 'Mr Midnight-Flying Tiger Fist of Shaolin', i found that this book is full of mystery and horror. I can say that it is a interesting book. Besides, the book also show us the passion of doing things that we fond of. The main 2 characters of this story are Wushu learner and they are fans to Wushu of Shaolin. One night, they encountered a horror fist without arm with it. Ya, just a fist. It challenge them for a Wushu match and the story tell how these 2 kids face it. They travelled to the Shaolin temple and challenged the fist. After defeated the fist, they met the guardian of the temple - The white snake warrior. The white snake warrior thanked them for defeating the fist and were willing to teach them the Wushu of Shaolin.
-The End-
