When people around you ignore you,you might think that the person does not love you nor cares about you.Sometimes I felt that I was really being left out alone.My parents were always busy with their work,they came back home late at night and I was not able to see them during day time.I was thinking of trying things that will catch their attention like injuring myself so that they will care more about me so I took a small knife to slash across my hand and soon my blood started to ooze out.
My grandfather came into the kitchen and saw me bleeding.He carry me into the bathroom and wash my wound and ask me why am I doing this to my hand.I replied softly and said that my parents does not care about me anymore so I do this is to try to seek their attention so that they will spend time to look after me.My grandfather said that I was very silly.He said,"your mother and father still cares about you even though they were busy with their works,you are their daughter and they love you more than anything else.I know that cause I have childrens too so now do not try anything stupid."
It was really stupid of me to believe that my parents does not love me.It is just that I did not realise how they care about me.Now,I believe that my parents will still care and love me no matter what happened.

Caught in a Storm
When I was a kid,I always thought that lightning and thunder means the end to the world as the sound of it was very horrifying.I remember when I was in my grandmother's house,there was a heavy storm.Heavy rain pouring down and I was sleeping on the sofa.Suddenly,there was a very loud thunder,it was so loud that it could wake the dead.
I jumped out of my bed crying and screaming.My mother and my uncle came into the living room to see what is wrong.When my mother saw me crying hardly and she trys to calm me down but it was futile.My uncle was standing beside my thinking about what can he do to help me stop crying.All of the sudden,he ran to his room and took out his CD player.He put in the ear piece and put it in my ear.He increase the volume and I cannot hear any thunder or lighting except the music that the CD is playing and I stopped crying.After that,when there is thunder or lighting,I will listen to the CD player which calm me down.
As I grow up,I was not afraid of thunder and lighting anymore.Thinking back when I was a small kid who was afraid of thunder and lighting really sounds quite stupid to me now.

Dear Mr Lim
Proposal to upgrade Pulau Ubin
I am Sheryl,President of the Green Plan 2012 Club,would like to develop Pulau Ubin to help serve the residents better and bring more tourist to the island.I have interviewed several residents their views on what we need to improve Pulau Ubin.Some wishes to have a new clinic and a school for the locals to study better and changing transport to the mainland instead of taking a bumboat as it was very inconvenient.
In order to make places around Pulau Ubin accessible,we would need to improve on the bus services,roads and infrastructure.We wish to add in cycling tracks and nature trails.Some consider transforming Ubin into a 21st century New Town so that they can enjoy best of the both worlds by having shopping facilities and a relaxing way of life by having nature at their doorsteps.A part time hawker assistant,Mrs Tan Li Lin , wish to have a reliable water supply as it was very important.She hope to start a coffee stall that can attract many campers and day trippers.We also wish to preserve Chek Jawa,as the pride of Pulau Ubin,as a nature reserve.
We do hope that you can accept this proposal to develop Pulau Ubin to a better place for the resisdents.
Yours faithfully

My views about terrorism
After reading those two articles,i realise Mas Selamat was such a clever person.He could even escaped to malaysia without alerting the Singapore police forces.I also wondered how can he walked from whitely detension center to woodlands and no one saw him.It is true that when he escaped from the dentension center, many Singaporean were worried things like were was he?have he escaped from Singapore?I wondered why he did not become a detective as he was such a clever person or a athletic as he have such a high stamina.People cannot sleep in peace as they was so worried about these things.After the police caught him,singaporean could finally sleep peacefully.

Reflective summary
My reflective summary will be about harps seals, koala bears, snowy owl, ocelot and snow leopards.
From what I have research on, Harps seals populations are decreasing as hunters hunt for their snow white fur and their seal oil. Their fur will be use as clothes. Their seal oil is sold in markets as they are rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
Koala bears are found in Australia. In South Australia, koala bears are no longer found but the Americans captured koala bears in the north and release them in the suitable forest in the south. Australia government has set up laws to protect koala bears. Australians are also trying to protect their source of food and their habitat from human activities.
Snowy owls are found in northern Scandinavia, Russia, Alaska and Canada in the frozen tundra but recently some snowy owl are found in Belgium and Netherlands. Snowy owls are protected in UK but it is legal for Alaska for Alaskan to hunt snowy owls. Alaskan can kill unlimited snowy owls for food and clothes but they are not allowed to sell parts of the owls to people. Snowy owls are value for their feet and eyes.
Ocelot or rather known as painted leopards is the one of the most feline animal in the world. Ocelot’s furs are highly demanding in industries in Europe and Asia. Even though they are ban to kill anymore ocelot, people still kill the mothers of the ocelot to obtain their kittens and then they sold them to markets at the central and South America to tourist as pets.USA has estimated that there are less than one hundreds of them left. They are still decreasing as there is not enough food for them to survive.
Snow leopards are value for their beautiful furs some which is white, yellowish and brown. They are covered with brown or black spots. Their furs are turned to coats and other garment in central Asia, Eastern Europe and Russia. People still hunt them even they are illegal. They are estimated that there are about three thousand five hundred to seven thousand left in the wild and about six hundred to seven hundred left in the zoo.
In my opinion,we can contribute our effort to save these cute litle animals and prevent them form extinction , we are the ones for cause them to be endangered so we must try to keep them alive so that out future generation could experience seeing these beautiful animals instead of looking at them in the picture.Instead of taking we they have, we should try to use things that are manmade to made things that we want. we should learned from our mistake and pass that on to others so that they can contribute like not to buy things that are made from animal skin or parts, if that continues, hunters will not able to earn the amount of killing these animals so the market will stop selling them.
