Im working real hard today. Heres an essay by me for my prelim 2
(Phew, finally finished prelims already. I have written this essay during prelim 2. Its not a good one though, very little vocabulary used and it lacks imagination and a very routine way of expressing my idea. Just hope you all will just take a peek and comment. Thanks ah. Next time i will post my best essay, quite a lot of chim words and gotten very high mark also. Very specials plot with an unexpected ending. When i have the time, i will type that essay out.)
"John, do you mind helping me remind all the people on the list?" I stood at the telephone, staring at the long and blurry list of names on a sheet of paper.
"Sure, just put it down here while I fetch my handphone." He rushed to his bag while his voice could be heard fading into the room.
John was the earliest guest but he became an assistant host instead. The long awaited day had arrived. It was my 21st birhtday. I had called most of my classmates, my closest friends and some of my neighbours. John, staying beside me, came over early int he morning to help me with the preparations.
Calls after calls, repeating the exact same thing everytime the phone gets through. "Hello, remember to come over on time. The food wait for no one and presents are optional." How do I wish that one of my presents would be a phone calling robot to ease the tiredness of my fingers and my mouth.
The list looked neverending and it took quite a while to get all the names checked in the list. We got ourselves some lemonade and say down on the couch. Even though John and I were neighbours, we do not really have the time to chat. I took the iniative and asked him a few questions to get the conversation started.
"How long have you been here?" I asked casually.
"All my life. I was borned here, raised here and most probably, living here all my life." He replied with a grin on his face. Without a pause, he asked me a question too. "How about you? Why did you choose to come here to study?"
"Well...I wanted to further my studies overseas. I had considered quite a while before deciding that this would be a more suitable place for me. Even though I won't be celebrating my 21st birthday with my family and relatives, I know that they will give me their blessings." I replied while feeling an ache in the heart.
Our conversation continued. Knowing that the conversation was a bit too tense, John followed the rhythm and syntax of my speech in his voice. It sounded weird to hear "myself" and i started laughing. It was then, the doorbell rang.
I opened the door and a group of friends were jumping, waving, clapping and shouting outside the house. I went out to join them and started playing like little kids. I heard a spray, I turned and saw a pie on John's hand. He was coming for me. I ran past tidal rows of houses like bait fishes leaping for their lives. The rest of my friends were laughing and some were even chasing me. Finally, they pinned my down and smashed the pie in my face. I started laughing too but I could feel the thigh-muscles fluttered with fatigue. We sat down and enjoyed the breeze. It was really great to have my friend celebrating my birthday with me.
As i was enjoying myself, a sudden thought hit me. "How long would I be staying here for my studies? I'm getting older and closer to death each day. Will I be able to see my parents again? Will I be forgotten?" So many thoughts filled my mind and they were battling for space in my brain. I did not know wha tto do and tears started rolling down my cheeks. I did not know that leaving my family would have such an impact on me.
Everyone stopped in their tracks when they saw something was amiss. They saw tears on my face and they gave me a worried look. "Come on, he must be too happy that is why he is crying. Do not have to worry too..." Some one covered John's mouth while i started crying.
"Thank you everyone. All of you had made a difference in my life. Everyone is important to me but i am worrying a lot about my family." I voiced out my thoughts while crying.
"You can give them a call and visit them, when we are having our summer break. They love you, we do too but their love are uncomparable." A group of them smiled and embraced me.
I felt the warmth rushing through my body. I stopped crying and a huge smile emerged from my face. I rushed to the telephone and made an oversea call.
The phone connected and I started shouting, "I love you Mum, I love you Dad, I really love you."
"We love you too son," My parents replied as they had picked up the phone using the loudspeaker and my voice could be heard throughout the house. They wished me a happy birthday and we hung up the phone.
I joined my friends out in the open field again. This was the best day of my life. There were not only my friends that were celebrating my birthday with me but also my family in my heart. We carried on the party and finished all the food that i had prepared.
(Everyone, heres a word for you, Cherish all the people around you, thank you for trusting me too. Thats all i need. Glad to be "labelled" too lol. Enjoy life and be happy always. All the way guys, its only 3 months left to "o" level, i know everyone can do well. JIAYOU AH!!!!.)
