Biography Of My Father
My father was born in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia in 1962. He is the younger of two children.
When my father was young, he loved to read books by Enid Blyton such as The Famous Five, The Five Find-Outers and The Secret Seven. My father used to climb cherry trees to pick cherries for his cherry gun. This gun was made from a long ruler with rubber bands and a clothes peg and it shoots cherries. His favourite toys were his cherry gun, a battery operated passenger aeroplane, a toy Volkswagen and his plastic cowboys, Indians and soldiers.
Some of his favourite television programmes include Land Of The Giants, Star Trek, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea and Ultraman.
My father studied in St. John’s Institution in Kuala Lumpur. He started Primary 1 in 1969. He was good in his studies and used to win prizes in Primary School. As a child, he wanted to be a doctor.
When he was in Secondary School, he joined the St. John’s Ambulance Brigade as an Extra-Curricular Activity. My father and his teammates won the National First Aid Competition in 1979.
My father came to Singapore in 1980 and studied in National Junior College. He completed his A-Levels in 1981 and went to study Building and Estate Management in the National University of Singapore. He graduated in 1986 in the middle of the recession.
After eight months of trying to find a job, he finally found work as a valuer in Jones Lang Wootton. My father worked there for nine years before he resigned and went to work at DTZ.
My father met my mother in 1989 while working in Jones Lang Wootton and they were married in 1992.
My father had an enjoyable childhood, had loving parents, good friends and believes in hard work, honesty, integrity and perseverance.

LP Compo
Composition assignment for LP. Written while right arm was in a cast.
Ali was listless as he had just come back from school and had no homework to do. He went to the playground to play when he found a lamp.
He was so excited that he quickly picked it up and rubbed it a few times. Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out from the lamp! A small chubby-faced genie popped out. Ali had watched the movie “Aladdin” and knew that genies could grant wishes, so he said “I wish I could score perfect marks in all my exams!”. Ali smiled excitedly for a few seconds. His smile soon turned into a frown as he realized much to his disappointment, that the genie was a baby, and could only say “goo-goo-gaga”. It could not grant any wishes yet!
Suddenly, Ali felt droplets on his face as he saw, much to his horror, that the baby genie was regurgitating on him! Ali woke up and saw that his baby brother Irfan had crawled onto him and was drooling and giggling happily away. “Whew, it had just been a dream!”, Ali said, with a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, we visited an old fishing village at Aberdeen. There is a famous floating restaurant there called “Jumbo”, where Jackie Chan has shot several movies. The boats were decorated with many colourful lanterns. We also went to Repulse Bay where there’s a beautiful beach.

We went to Disneyland. We stayed at the Hollywood Hotel which is nearby. We spent the whole day going for all the rides in Disneyland. It was really fun! I met a school friend there and we went for the Dumbo Flying ride together. I most enjoyed the AstroBlasters ride. Mom & I went on that many times, trying to get higher scores with each ride!
There were beautiful fireworks at the Sleeping Beauty Castle at night.

After a sumptious breakfast at Chef Mickey’s café, we took an “Express Train” direct to China. It took us a rather long 4 hours to reach the city of ZhaoQing though. Many of my Grandmother’s nephews were waiting for us at that train station. They brought us to stay at a hotel with really huge rooms.

Took a bus back from China to Hong Kong. All the relatives came to bid farewell. The bus ride was bumpy and not as comfortable as the train. There were floods all over Southern China, but thankfully, we made it back to Hong Kong safely.

Went to Ocean Park. It was not so great as it rained the whole day! We did get to see the cute pandas, and the dolphin show was fabulous! We also saw a stingray that kept coming up to say “Hi!”.

After breakfast, we left for the airport to take a flight back to Singapore. We watched a very interesting movie “CJ 7” on board. Too bad, the movie started very late, so we missed watching the whole show.
We had a fairly enjoyable holiday.

学二胡
学二胡
几年前，看过学校的华乐团表演，我就想学拉二胡。我七岁时，妈妈找到一位会讲英文的二胡老师。 我就开始学拉二胡。我最欣赏的二胡大师是闵惠芬。她拉的几首歌都很好听，如“江河水”，“良肖”，“空山鸟语”，“光明行”。
