It was a beautiful Sunday. Miss Loh decided to give a call to her sister.
"How about if I took the children off your hands today Sis? I'd like to bring them to the Sentosa beach."
An hour or two later, the lady was seated on a mat underneath a shady tree by the sea. On the mat were a jug of ice-cold lemonade, some hot pastries and bright blue container, a bunch of deep purple grapes and some brown paper packets of rice. The paper cups and plates had been arranged neatly by her side. The lady sat with her legs stretched out before her. She had on her sunglasses and had been rubbing blobs of sun-block cream on her arms. She smiled as she looked at the the two girls playing with their pail and spades near the water's edge.
Miss Loh notice that there were few other picnickers about. On her fat right, was noisy Malay family. It appeared they had been overnighting. Some Tents had been pitched about them.
Suddenly, Miss Loh heard screams. Her two nieces were calling out to her. They were trying to alert her to something or someone in the sea. Miss Loh saw the struggling child. He was just a little way off the demarcation poin beyond which swimmers were forbidden. Miss loh jumped into the sea. She was a powerful swimmer and soon reached the struggling boy. Placing her arms underneath his neck, she gently yet firmly brought him back to shore. A crowd of frantic relatives had already gathered there. A mother wailed and fell heavily at the side of the unconscious boy.
After many efforts at resuscitation, they finally gave up. The boy had died. Miss Loh and her two nieces walked quietly away. It was indeed tragic. That ended Miss Loh picnic.

The story about an accident that make you embarrassing in restaurant
It was Valentine Day, my very first Valentine Celebration with my girlfriend in my life. So I invited her for a candle light dinner at Marina Bay , the "69 Floor" Restaurant.
It was a formal and one of the most expensive restaurants in Singapore. I had to spend more than an hour to prepare my clothes as formal as that suited the sign of restaurant. My girl wore dress. That was my first time I saw her wore dress. She looked much more beautiful than an angle. I hoped that night would be a memorable time for both of us.
We order our favorite meal , Beef Steak and Fish & Chip. We enjoyed the meal with the candle light , the beautiful view where were were 69 floor high, pleasureful musics by the real band and the restaurant looked very high class. It was perfectly romantic dinner until we paid the bill.
"My apologize sir, our net payment machine were error. Could you please pay by cast?"
Oh my goodness! I am in hot water, I talked to my self. I was confidence that I could pay by net so I only bring less than $40 in my wallet. The bill was $90++.
It was a big shock to me. I was speechless. I kept sweating and shaking my whole body that I did not know how to solve that problem. I seemed be helpless. The only hope that my girlfriend could bring enough money. "How could I ask her to pay the bill ?", I spoke to myself. Its was embarrassing let the girl pay for the bill.
The most embarrassing that that night was I invited her for a dinner and I proudly said" Today I will treat you dinner , my dear." What a shameful that I even could not keep my promise.
Everyone were curiously looking at my table. I could feel my face very hot. I could see some customer were mumbling something. That would be properly about me. I was so shameful that I wish I could dig a hole and hide myself immediately.
"Here is our bill payment, you may keep the change." my girlfriend replied in gentle way. It was a big surprise how she could be calm and replied normally.
That made me so happy that the problem had been solved , but more shameful that let the girl pay for bill. I had no choice. After that , I am more embarrassing that I did not know how you felt. Was she angry? I wished she was not. My heart kept bumping faster and faster.
" I am sorry..." I talked very softly
" Its fine, my dear. I am understand. I am not angry you. By the way, I would like to give you this." By the time she opened the bag and took out a pink box of chocolate " Happy Valentine Day, I love you!"
That was a very big happy moment for me. I felt on top of the world. Even though there was some accident during the event but both of us had solve the problem together. I loved her very much. I would like to plan for dating her on coming White Valentine Day , 14th of March. And that time , I will not let this shame happen to us again.

Challenge
"Tom! I want to challenge you in Math!" Jhonson banged his hand on the table, shouted loudly and stared at my eyes while I am stunned confusingly. I did not know what was happening if I have done anything to him. The class was silent for seconds. I smelled a rat that something would happen badly to me. I really had no clue how to respond to him. Luckily, my teacher stepped into the class."You watch out!" he shouted before walking back to his table. It made my hair stand
During recess time , See Sia explained to me," Yesterday is Valentine's Day and Johnson was rejected by Jessica because she was looking for person who could teach her Math."
"Oh no! I am in hot water!" I talked to myself. I wondered if it is true that he was jealous me because Jessica usually came to my table and asked how to solve the questions. I had unknowingly become a love rival. I feel so irritated by him because I did not want to get this trouble. We had been good friend for very long and I had never expected this fight happened to our friendship.
Since that day, he put amazing effort in studying Math. He completed all the Math homework and did many extra questions the teacher did not ask us to do. He researched for more methods solving difficult Math questions on the Internet. He canceled other subjects tutors and hired Math tutor indeed. He went tuition center for Math five time a week, even on Sunday too. He worked against the clock in order to surpass me. By the time, I really did not mind what he was doing. I only tried my best to study and score average for every single subject.
I could not believe my eyes, his Math result had improved incredibly. He scored full marks for common test 2 and 98% for prelim. However , he did badly for English subject, - only 15%
There were about 3 weeks left to N-level Exam. He had to work much harder for others subjects, but it seemed mostly impossible because he only focused on Math and gave up others. He did not expect this worst situation.
He sat at one corner in the class, holding his prelim result clip and crying. All his effort had gone up the smoke. It was meaningless how high you scored for all the subjects but English failed. He looked very down and lifeless. I pitied him.
"Don't give up yet!" Jessica put her hand on his shoulder," Even though there was a dim light of hope, it was possible. I will help you, we will all help you , won't we?"
"Yeah of course!" the hold class cheered.
At the moment, he burst in to tears. He felt on top of the world. However, I am not fine with it. He had beat me top scorer for Math. If he passed Eng for N exam, he would be top student. That made me unhappy because I was top three students last night.
"The challenge is not over yet." I spoke friendly to him," I will still challenge you for overall N-level result. I won't lose to you."
Those four weeks, I took seriously in studying and revision. I did my very best for the exam paper. Truly I did not touch my computer even just one time. I only concentrated on revision. I did not want to lose him.
My N-level result was better than him luckily. But his Math result was better than me of cos. It did not matter. Our class 4N1 all did quite well. See you next year in 5N1.
