Getting Sick After Overnight Stay

28 May 2020

Tim went to his cousin's home last Saturday. The boys had a whale of time of playing video games so they burnt the midnight oil.

Next day, bad luck approached silently. Tim had a sore throat and a fever . He was sweating rapidly and lying in his bed all day. It was the rehearsal for the drama on Monday, so he bit the bullet and went to the school.

At the rehearsal, Tim was wearing a mask and had a hoarse voice. Also he had a few cough during the rehearsal. The teacher was dissatisfied with Tim so he asked Tim to go to the corridor beside of the hall. Tim was nervous about what's going to happen. The teacher said in a voice like a furious lion "You have ruined the rehearsal!" Tim told him about what happened at Sunday.

Tim was feeling so upset that tears started flooding his eyes as he hung his head low and walked away from the teacher. The teacher shouted at his back "Take a good rest at home. I will find a back-up for you." He nodded in reply. Tim took a lesson. It told him that the children need enough rest at night or they will be sick.

Caught in a storm

15 May 2020 Black clouds gathered above us, but we were too intent on going to fishing. We hoped that the clouds would go away so that we could continue fishing. Our hopes were dashed when suddenly heavy rain began to pour. In a few seconds we were all soaked to the skin. To make matters worst, lightning flashed dangerously close to us. The deafening thunder and howling wind did not help either. We ran towards a large tree under which we had parked our bicycles. The tree provided some shelter from the rain and we were tempted to remain under it. However we knew that it was dangerous to stay under a tree during a thunderstorm. So we got on our bicycles and pedalled off. There was no other shelter available nearby. So I, for one, decided to go home. Since I was already completely wet, I might was well to go home instead to seeking shelter. On the way back home, the driving rain made cycling difficult as I could not see more that a couple of metres in front of me. Accidentally,

Going to the Wetland Park with my parents

4 May 2020 I have always liked birds, since the day I heard of those fantastic creatures that could soar through the skies. Normally, I can only see most of them in books and on television, or the ordinary ones flying around Hong Kong. Last Sunday,  I eventually had the chance to see many different species of birds. I was thrilled when my parents told me that they were taking me to the Wetland Park! After a short Light Rail Ride, we arrived at the gates of the Wetland Park. My parents and I took a photo near the Eco-maze. It was not long before I saw the tall wooden building. It was the birds hide. We walked into the building. When I looked through the telescope, I could take a closer look to all sort of birds. From richly coloured kingfisher staying near the water surface to snow white egret preying in the water, the sight of these magnificent creatures had me racing up and down the park. We finished the lunch. Then my father suggested us to go to the Mangrove Boardwalk which i

A trip to Ocean Park

12 May 2020 "Faster, faster. " I mumbled. I could not keep my mouth shut as excitement rush through my veins.  My parents were bringing me on a trip to Ocean Park! The journey there seemed to take ages. Ultimately, we arrived at our destination. After a short time, we reached the cable car tower. Enthusiastically, we got into an empty cable car. The view out of the cable car of the arrays of mountains protruding into the South China Sea was second to none. It was spectacular! The ships were like tiny dots sailing in the deep blue sea and the people looked like tiny little ants from high above. After that, we went to the crazy gallon. When I saw this ship, my legs trembled and said "Nooooooo! " But driven by curiosity, I got aboard the ship. "This is the most horrible game I have ever had!" I whined on board. Then, we set off to the bumper blaster. The most I desired to play it in the Ocean Park. I played it with my father several times because it
