It was a cold winter's night. On a dusty street,, there was a feet-dragging noise. As the woman passed a lighted house, she was illuminated clearly. She was not attractive - dressed in shabby-looking clothes, and had ill-fitting shoes. Although she looked barely forty, her hair was already streaked with strands of white. The hungry look on her face as she gazed into the windows of the warm houses, was soul-stirring.
A window was flung right open. "Wotcha staring at, woman? Git your filthy self away from us!" A mean-looking (and most obviously mean-minded) man growled at her through the window.
Taken by surprise, she stumbled and fell, with a back-breaking crash, onto the ground. Luckily for her, the snow was still thick and helped to cushion her fall. Blinking back the moisture that had appeared at the corners of her eyes, she scrambled to her feet and set off for home as fast as she could.
Turning a corner, she walked up a dark little street, and entered an even darker house. She was greeted by a cough and a groan. Her heart ached - but what could she do?
Lighting a candle, she went over to the boy lying on a bed. Even in the candlelight, she could see her own pain reflected in his beautiful face, except that the pain in his face was physical. "I'm sorry darling. All the oranges have been sold out," said she, fondling the boy's hot cheek.
The boy smiled up at her, but he was too sick to answer her. However, he shook his head to express that he did not mind, and looked into his mother's eyes. A soul-searching gaze passed between them. What they saw nearly broke their hearts, but in the end, she tore her eyes away from him.
Having precious little time to waste, she hurriedly went to a table, and continued embroidering passion-flowers on a satin gown. This gown was not, and never, to be worn by her. It was for the loveliest of the Queen's maids-of-honour to wear at the next Court-ball. The seamstress glanced over at her son once more, and sighed. A passion-flower on the gown was slightly blood-stained the next morning, but she never knew that.
Long was the night, and cold was the snow. The woman's numb brain was distracted, all of a sudden, by a movement at the window. It was a swallow.
The bird flew into the open window. But the presence of a swallow in winter-time was not the only mind-boggling thing of the moment. For a heart-stopping moment, the woman stared at the eye-catching, blood-red ruby that shone and shimmered in the swallow's beak. The stone was twice as large as any ruby. The woman gasped, and passed out.
The swallow deposited the jewel gently on the table, next to the woman's head. Then it flew to the boy, and fanned his forehead gently with its wings. The boy was instantly cooled, and he fell into a delicious, dreamless slumber.
The bird left the house. The next morning, the seamstress woke up, and rejoiced to find the ruby on the table. She sold it, and with the money, she was able to buy medicine for her son. Moreover, she did not have to work as a seamstress anymore.
Joyful as they were, they never knew that, that night, somewhere in the city, a bird's heart stopped beating; a heart made of lead snapped. Years later, a writer penned the story down in a book, and entitled it "The Happy Prince".

始
夜深了。然而，我和兄弟们都还没入眠。今晚，并非是个平凡的夜晚。今晚，是我们相聚的最后一晚。今晚，在数千个兄弟当中，能存活下去的就只有一个。我们就像待宰的牛犊一样，害怕，却不能选择。就算有得选择，又如何？若你的家人、亲戚、朋友全都离开了，剩下你独自一人，你会快乐吗？
然而，我们心中其实也存有一丝的期待，一丝的兴奋。因为，那唯一的存活者将会和欧法丽皇后的掌上明珠－欧粉公主成亲。成为欧粉公主的王子，是我们自小的愿望。虽然如此，那决定我们生死的，却又是欧粉公主。因此，我们对她产生了非笔墨所能形容的感情，其中包含了爱、恨、敬、惧。
即将面临的，始终都要面临；即将到来的，始终都会到来。有人说，光阴似箭。对，他们说得对，时间实在过得太快了。还没来得及与兄弟们一起回顾往事，我们之间的默契就告诉我们，时刻已到。当时的我，感到轻飘飘的，若有人告诉我这只不过是一场恶梦，我想我应该会相信。但，这报喜信的人始终都没出现。于是，只好和兄弟们一起到西门洋去。西门洋，是个我们不曾去过的海洋。这次，是我们去的第一次，也是最后一次。我们的任务就是以最快的速度，从西门洋游到邻国去。我们的终点，就在那国家的中心。我们的终点，也就是在欧法丽皇后的家门外。
突然，我们感到很高兴，很兴奋。这莫名其妙的感觉仿佛形成了一股冲力。我和几千个兄弟，凭着这股冲力，一致地向前游。游着游着，我们离开了自己的国家，进入了另一个和我国有着天渊之别的国家。习惯了表面粗糙且体积大的我们，当看见这新国时，感到很讶异。这地方处处都表面光滑，四周围的物体也很细小，很精致。相信这一切都是欧法丽皇后的杰作吧！这国家和我们的国家相比起来，就像是一粒珍珠和一块石头，虽然九十巴仙是不一样的，但却还保留着些少许的共同点。有人说，珍珠像一块被磨过，被加工过的石头。同样的，这国家陌生中带有点儿熟悉，像是曾经见过，却被遗忘在记忆中的一个角落似的。
到了，我们到了。我们到了欧法丽皇后的家门前，到了生命的边界。我们围着她的家，等待。不久，一个严肃中带有亲切的声音传了出来。“欢迎你们。相信你们都知道，我要将我的女儿许配给你们当中的其中一位。我的女儿是我的至爱，若将她放在我心中的第二位，（那就不会有第一位了。因此，我不能随意把女儿交给任何人。若要娶我的女儿，）*I DON‘T BELIEVE IT, I ACTUALLY LEFT THIS WHOLE SENTENCE OUT. I dunno wat the judges must hv thought!*那就要先具备三大条件。”说到这里，我和兄弟们彼此对望。虽然没出声，但个个的表情都明显在说着：“完了，这次完了！”
欧法丽皇后接着说：“第一个条件是性格要坦诚。第二，内心要纯洁。第三，更要纯洁。”我们傻傻地望着欧法丽皇后。这究竟是容易，还是困难？坦诚，纯洁，更纯洁？但还没开始摸索自己的心，她又说话了。
“现在，我要问你们两个问题。谁答得好，谁就能作我的女媳。你们留心听着，这是第一题。请用一个形容词来形容欧粉公主。”
糟了，这次糟了。该用什么形容词？这时，兄弟们开口了。
“美丽！”
“可爱！”
“小！”
“聪明！”
“乖！”
“善良！”
不久，兄弟们都答完了，剩下我一个，还在犹豫着，深怕祸从口出。欧法丽皇后的声音又传了出来。“据我的计算，该是还有一位还没回答！”接着，一道不知何处来的白光照射在我身上。
胆小如鼠的我差点晕了过去。当时的我，头脑一片空白，只能吐出一句“对不起－我不知道。”。兄弟们的嘲笑声响彻云霄，刺透了我的心。自小，兄弟们不曾嘲笑过我，这是痛苦的第一次。也许是他们发泄压力的方法吧。这是我们在一起的最后几分钟了，我要饶恕他们，不要留给自己任何的遗憾。
沉醉在思考中的我，差点就没听见第二道问题了。“说出你要娶欧粉公主的原因。”原因？其实原因是有的，但－说不出口。我就像个没做功课的学生，老师问起时，不敢将事实说出来。
兄弟们都把各自的原因说出来了。因为欧粉公主很美、因为很爱欧粉公主、因为和欧粉公主结婚是个荣幸……全都被他们说尽了。其实，我想他们内心真正的想法，应该是和我一样的吧。
真尴尬啊，又是剩下我还没回答！但，我该答什么呢？突然，心里仿佛听见欧法丽皇后的声音在说 “第一个条件是性格要坦诚。”我不管三七二十一了，坦诚就坦诚吧！我鼓起勇气，轻声地回答说：“因为我不想死。”
大家呆呆地望着我，似乎在对我说“你真是‘勇气可嘉’啊！就算要死了，也不该这么不礼貌啊！”我也呆呆地望着他们，被自己一时的勇气吓到了，开始后悔了。我们这样，就彼此“放电”了好一段时间，直到欧法丽皇后再次开口。
“王子，欢迎你。”
一道金光猛照在……在……我身上？皇后，您搞错了吧。我向后退了几步。然而，金光随着我退，依然把我照得有如太阳般的亮。不可能，这是不可能的，我刚才的答案是那么的－
“坦诚！纯洁！”欧法丽皇后的声音再次传了出来。“我要的是个坦诚的答案，而不是花言巧语！你们尚未曾见过欧粉公主，怎么可能知道她是美丽的、是聪明的、是善良的呢？在第二道问题，我要的不只是坦诚，我也要见到纯洁！我不想要一个只会贪图美色、地位的王子，唯有那把生命放在心中第一位的，他才是最纯洁的，最配当王子的！虽然如此，欧粉公主的终身大事始终都要由自己决定。现在，请你们往后退十步。”
我们照着行了。不久，我们看见有个微小的女孩向我们走来。这女孩身上穿着一件粉红色的裙子，且散发着粉红色的光芒。她真美。她的美，是非笔墨所能形容的。当她迎面而来时，我目瞪口呆地望着她，头脑一片空白，心跳加速了一百倍。当时的我，似乎被她迷住了。奇怪的是，她也和这国家一样，给了我一种熟悉的感觉。
这时，她看见我了。她慢慢地走向我，脸上的表情让人难以测透。不知不觉的，我发现我也正走向她，走到了她的面前。我们停下了脚步，望着对方的眼睛。她的眼睛好大，好美，但却是湿的。两排珍珠般的泪水从那双水晶般的眼睛流了出来。我将她搂在怀中，发现自己的脸也是湿的。我并不知道为什么我们会哭，因为我心里充满的是喜乐，她眼里的也不是悲伤。只知道，在这一刻，我似乎完整了，就像是一条线，两端合了起来，形成了一个圆圈。
她没哭了；我轻轻地放开了她。原本的我也不想说话的，但突然想起了。“我梦中的公主！”我高喊。
她惊讶地望着我。“我梦中的王子？”
这时候，我看见兄弟们一个一个离开了。伤心是难免的，我跪了下来，痛哭。感觉上自己也成了帮凶，因为我夺走了他们唯一存活的机会。但就在这时，欧粉公主也跪了下来，握着我的手。看着她，我这才发现我才是她真正的王子，我的位子是不能被别人取代的。
“你愿意与我合成一体吗？”公主突然开口问。
我脑中满是疑问，但不问太多了。只要一辈子都能与她在一起，我就什么都愿意。于是，我点了点头。
她闭上眼睛，走向我，走入我。她住进了我的心里，刚才我所不明白的一切，都不问而解了。我（和她）一起往南方走去，进宫了。宫内并没有其他人。我想，可能这国家的王宫就只是让王子和公主享受“二人世界”的吧！
突然，我变了。我变大了，肚子也长出一条管道来。真怪异！我怕了起来，哭了。这时候，心中有一个声音告诉我，我体积中会有变化，是因为我的身体不再属于我自己，现在我身上多了个妻子啊！想到这里，我嘴角不禁意地弯了上来。至于那管道，暂时就不理它了，相信日后会有用途的吧！
过了好几个小时，我开始闷了。和一个看不见的伴侣在一起，其实和独自一人大同小异而已。而且，肚子开始“隆隆隆”地响起了，有如打雷般。我想站起来，找些食物吃，但－啊！发生什么事啊！我肚子上的管道竟然紧紧粘着墙壁，导致我不能移动身子。害怕中，就抓着那管道使命地拉，奇迹发生了！突然觉得有些食物涌进我的身体似的，我不饿了。
真有趣！这国家真是充满惊喜。从那次起，每当我肚子饿时，我就会把肚子上的管道拉了拉，就不再饿了。但每天过着这千篇一律的生活，对好动的我来说，是一种折磨。
直到有一天，我听见“碰”的一声，感觉到一阵强烈的震动。发生地震了吗？但，还没来得及思虑这一切时，突然感到头部那强烈的撞击，随着就不省人事了。
当我恢复知觉时，发现四周围都是白光。哦，原来这就是天堂。我坐了起来，摸摸自己的头。不痛了－难道我真的死了？但就在这时，那白光却忽然没了，我还在宫内。原来我的生命还没有结束。
我对这生活真的感到好厌倦，恨不得立即就去和兄弟们在一起。听说兄弟们去了的那个地方是没有苦的，一切都是美好的。为什么？为什么我要成为王子？心中的愤怒以及对兄弟们的怀念使我透不过气来。为了发泄情绪，我狠狠地往墙壁踢了一脚。
我躺在地上，气还未消。我很累，真的很累了。耳边的那蚊子好烦啊，我把头晃了晃，但声音还是持续不断。听着听着，又不像是蚊子发出的声音。原来是歌声啊。那歌声很温柔，听了后，我有了一种被爱的感觉。这感觉很难形容，只知道这歌声渗进了我的内心，让我温馨，让我平静了。
“欧粉公主？是你吗？”
我问了，却没得到回应。想着想着，也应该不会是她。那歌声虽然给了我一种亲切的感觉，却又是如此的遥远。再仔细听了听，好像是从北方传下来的。那歌声是如此的动听，听着听着，我睡着了。
就这样，我在那歌声的陪伴下，度过了每一日。不知不觉的，我对这声音建立起很深的感情。只要一天没听见，就会很不安，心里好像少了什么东西似的。日子一天一天地过去了，渐渐的，宫内的空间越来越狭窄－我逐渐长大了。在这里住了差不多一年了，若能有个新家，那该多好啊！
愿望达成了，那日来临了。一切来得太突然了，我心中来不及作些防备，那怪事就发生了。四周围的墙壁包围着我，压迫着我。我被这些墙壁逼进一条很窄，很窄的隧道，我不能呼吸。一股压力推动着我，我慢慢地经过那狭窄的隧道。原来不能呼吸是这么痛苦的，这一切到底何时才会结束呢？
突然，强烈的光芒扑眼而来。我受不了，紧闭着双眼。随着而来的就是那我没预料到的冷，我的身体顿时似乎冻结了。经过了这一切，以为没有更可恶的事了，但就在这时，感到一个巨人的手把我拿了起来，往我背后打了一掌！
我受不了这一切了，放声大哭，哭得连自己能呼吸了都没察觉到。那巨人用一片毛毛的物体包着我的身体，顿时温暖多了。他把我交给另一个巨人。第二个巨人把我搂在怀中，身上的味道是多么的熟悉，怀抱是多么的温暖。在这巨人的怀里，我得到了安全感，平静了。我知道，这巨人是不会让任何人伤害我的。这巨人抚摸着我的头，用那温柔、动听、熟悉的声音轻轻地对我说：“宝贝，欢迎你来到这世界上！我是妈妈。”
然而，我们心中其实也存有一丝的期待，一丝的兴奋。因为，那唯一的存活者将会和欧法丽皇后的掌上明珠－欧粉公主成亲。成为欧粉公主的王子，是我们自小的愿望。虽然如此，那决定我们生死的，却又是欧粉公主。因此，我们对她产生了非笔墨所能形容的感情，其中包含了爱、恨、敬、惧。

My Dream House 23/1/2009 (1st english essay of this year)
We see many different types of houses today. Due to the constantly improving efforts and ideas of architects, many of the houses we see nowadays are designed very creatively and attractively. However, not many people are rich enough to buy their ideal house, so, like me, they just have to be content with their current one. Although I have seen both the exterior and interior of many houses, none of them matches exactly the description of my own dream house.
My dream house is four-storey high. The colours of the walls of my house will change according to the weather. When it is warm or hot weather, the walls will change into different shades of blue. On the other hand, when it is cold, the colour of the walls will switch to different shades of my favourite colour - pink. If the rain has just stopped, the walls will be rainbow-coloured to match the rainbow in the sky. The floor of my dream house is covered in rose-coloured tiles in cold weather. When it is warm, however, the tiles will become dark-blue. The roof of my dream house is made of a transparent material, enabling me to see through the roof. This is because I love watching the clouds in the sky.
My dream house consists of eleven rooms. The sitting room and the kitchen is located on the ground floor. There is also a toilet. In fact, there are toilets on the ground floor, first floor and second floor. There is no toilet on the top floor of my dream house because, as I mentioned earlier, the roof is made of a transparent material. The sitting room of my dream house is very big, spacious and comfortable. There are curtains hanging from the ceiling to make the room seem even bigger. The kitchen is also quite big, but half of it serves as my dining room. There are nine windows in my kitchen, to ensure it will not be too stuffy.
There are no escalator in my house. This is because walking upstairs is a good form of exercise. Thus, if you proceed up the stairs to the first floor, you will see two bedrooms, a study room, and a toilet. One of the bedrooms is for myself, whereas the other one is for guests. My bedroom is big, with a queen-sized bed and a few diamond-paned windows. There is a big wardrobe and a dressing table. Besides, there are also little fluorescent stars and moons on the ceiling. The other bedroom is for guests. It is furnished almost exactly as my own room, except that the wardrobe is not so big. The study room is wide and airy. There are bookshelves lining the four walls of the room. Besides, there are also two vases of flowers in the room, in order to make the room look more pretty and smell more fragrant.
On the second floor of my house, there are only two rooms, that is a mini gymnasium and, of course, a toilet. The gymnasium is for me to carry out my daily exercises. There are many types of exercising apparatus in this room. This room is the perfect place for me to help me keep fit and maintain a slim figure. Due to the many exercising apparatus - from dumbells and skipping ropes to running machines - the room is so big that it takes up three quarters of the second floor.
The computer room and the rest room are on the top floor of my house. If I want to play games, I will have to climb three flights of stairs all the way to the top floor. Thus, this is to help me not to play so often. Even if I do go up, it will help me to tone the muscles in my legs. The computer room is quite small, with one computer and a rack for me to put all my CDs and diskettes. The rest room, however, is almost as big as the mini gymnasium. It is a room for me to simply relax after a hard day's work. There is a mat for me to just lie down and look up at the sky through the transparent roof. Besides, there are also many soft toys - bears, dolls, bunnies, clowns and many more - for me to hug and play with. Some people may think I am childish, but I also have a small corner just for Barbie Dolls. Other than that, there are hundreds of storybooks in this room for me to read at leisure. Lastly, there is a swing at a corner of the room. In short, this room is a room next to paradise.
This house is only a dream, a fantasy for me. Actually, as long as our house serve as a roof and four walls, we ought to be grateful and give thanks to God. The things that matters most is not our house, for the main use of a house is to provide a place for shelter, what matters most is the family within our house. Therefore, let us place our highest priority not on our house, but on our home.
My dream house is four-storey high. The colours of the walls of my house will change according to the weather. When it is warm or hot weather, the walls will change into different shades of blue.

My bedroom is big, with a queen-sized bed and a few diamond-paned windows. There is a big wardrobe and a dressing table. Besides, there are also little fluorescent stars and moons on the ceiling. The other bedroom is for guests. It is furnished almost exactly as my own room, except that the wardrobe is not so big. The study room is wide and airy. There are bookshelves lining the four walls of the room. Besides, there are also two vases of flowers in the room, in order to make the room look more pretty and smell more fragrant.
On the second floor of my house, there are only two rooms, that is a mini gymnasium and, of course, a toilet. The gymnasium is for me to carry out my daily exercises. There are many types of exercising apparatus in this room. This room is the perfect place for me to help me keep fit and maintain a slim figure. Due to the many exercising apparatus - from dumbells and skipping ropes to running machines - the room is so big that it takes up three quarters of the second floor.
The computer room and the rest room are on the top floor of my house. If I want to play games, I will have to climb three flights of stairs all the way to the top floor. Thus, this is to help me not to play so often. Even if I do go up, it will help me to tone the muscles in my legs. The computer room is quite small, with one computer and a rack for me to put all my CDs and diskettes. The rest room, however, is almost as big as the mini gymnasium. It is a room for me to simply relax after a hard day's work. There is a mat for me to just lie down and look up at the sky through the transparent roof. Besides, there are also many soft toys - bears, dolls, bunnies, clowns and many more - for me to hug and play with. Some people may think I am childish, but I also have a small corner just for Barbie Dolls. Other than that, there are hundreds of storybooks in this room for me to read at leisure. Lastly, there is a swing at a corner of the room. In short, this room is a room next to paradise.
This house is only a dream, a fantasy for me. Actually, as long as our house serve as a roof and four walls, we ought to be grateful and give thanks to God. The things that matters most is not our house, for the main use of a house is to provide a place for shelter, what matters most is the family within our house. Therefore, let us place our highest priority not on our house, but on our home.

不寻常的… 23/1/2009
不寻常的爱
“哈哈哈哈哈……”一阵奸笑声把我从睡眠中惊醒了。愣了几秒，才发现到原来是从自己的口中传出来的。也许是梦中的我太兴奋了吧！再看看墙壁上那粉红色的钟，我吓到了。昨天和朋友们约好了九点钟在茶餐室见面，而现在已经是八点五十分了！
经过一番匆忙的梳洗后，我急忙打开衣橱。这时，才想起我最爱的牛仔裤还晾在屋外。于是，身上还穿着睡衣的我就冲到屋外，想把牛仔裤收进来。于是我打开门，跑出去。（会不会觉得这句很多余？！随便…ok…接下去）
“叭叭叭叭叭！”（老师：这是母鸡的叫声吗？我：我家的母鸡就是酱子叫的吗=.=）“汪汪汪！”一阵吵杂的鸡叫声和狗吠声引起了我的注意力。我朝着声音的方向走去，那声音把我带到了屋后。一看，原来是只凶猛的野狗正准备与我家的其中一只黑色的母鸡打架！
那只野狗耳朵竖起，眼睛凶狠，还露出了两排洁白且有如刀般尖锐的牙齿。别说是一只微微的小母鸡，连我都快吓得屁滚尿流了。虽然如此，母鸡也不堪势弱，它全身的羽毛都站起来了，翅膀张开，一对珍珠般大的眼睛里完全反映出了它对那只狗的恨恶。
这时，我突然看见母鸡身后有些动静。仔细一看，才发现到原来有四只小鸡正躲在母鸡的身后！我明白了：那母鸡肯定是为了保护自己的小鸡，才想与这只狗打起架来。顿时，让我联想起小学时常玩的游戏--“老鹰捉小鸡”。
那只狗忽然扑向一只小鸡。不晓得是因为一时之气还是一时之惊，母鸡飞到半空中去了。降回地面后，母鸡立刻再次跑到小鸡们前面，使劲地啄那身型比它大至少六倍的野狗。那狗的眼神似乎能喷出火来了，随着它便想一口把母鸡咬死。然而，母鸡却侥幸避开了。野狗似乎不愤，再次攻击那只母鸡。这次，几滴血喷了出来。
离它们约三米之地的我好像变成了木头人，从刚才一直到现在连一根头发也没动过。但当我见到这只已受伤却还在准备继续搏斗下去的英勇母鸡时，我的内心就好像被些什么触到了。我突然有了一股不知哪来的老虎胆，发现到自己的脚正在向着那只狗追跑，嘴巴正不停地咒骂着那只狗，然而手中却一个武器也没有。令人意想不到的是，那只狗好像也被我吓到了，转身就跑。正所谓“一山还有一山高”啊！我匆忙地跑进屋里，换上衣服，准备出门。
今天所发生的事情真令我难以忘怀。如此的大爱，竟能浮现在一只母鸡身上，这是何等地不寻常啊！
老师的评语：内容新颖，特别，表达能力与遣词用字都不错，继续努力哦！
我的评语：老师…你教了我一年后就应该不会再说我的内容新颖了啦…旧颖就有…我的作文通常都是以动物为主题的…哈哈…

完成故事（结尾） 17/9/2008（不知道是不是预考的时候？）
“喵！喵！喵！喵！喵！”一阵又凄惨又尖的猫叫声把正在发白日梦的我给吵醒了。我用双手捂着耳朵，想继续发我的白日梦，可是持续不断的猫叫声把我脑海中一幅幅美丽的画面变成许多小猫的画面了！我觉得很无奈，便走出屋外探个究竟。
走出屋外，才发现到猫叫声是从我家门前面的一棵大树上传下来的。树下则有一只很凶恶的野狗，连站在远方的我都能看见它那两排尖锐的牙齿。这只狗正围着大树转圈子，目不转睛地盯着树上的小猫。虽然这只狗没发出声音，可是这样给我的感觉更可怕，更恐怖。再加上它那尖尖竖起的三角形耳朵和直直的尾巴，足以让我立刻跑进屋里，关上门。
虽然在屋里给了我无比的安全感，可是猫的叫声还是不绝于耳，把我给烦得不成人形了。我心中正在犹豫，难道要我为了一只小猫牺牲自己的小命吗？可是“喵喵喵”的叫声真的是很烦，很烦，很烦！于是，我鼓起勇气，拿着我的武器--两把雨伞，再次走到屋外。
我一步一步地向大树走去，我的脚好像变得千斤重似的。我好不容易才走到离那只狗约一米的距离，壮起胆子，跺了一下脚。那只狗转过来瞪着我。我呆呆地望着它，它的那两排尖利的牙齿是多么的耀眼！但我不可能一辈子对着一只狗“放电”，所以终于吐出了两个字：“回…回家。”过后才想起，这是野狗，它没有家！但奇迹的是，它真的转身跑了！正当我高兴地称赞着自己时，听见后面传来了一些声音。我转过身，心里想：这回不好了。
我后面竟然是…另一只狗！这只狗若要拿来和刚才的那只比较，那一只可算是娇小玲珑了！正当我快晕过去时，我看见手上的雨伞。我将手上的雨伞向着那只狗打开。幸好那只狗是胆小如鼠的，我把它吓走了！
虽然两只狗都走了，那只猫还在叫！看来，它应该是抽筋了。没爬过树的我，今天真的感觉到自己很伟大，于是心情比平时好。我做了一件我平时绝对不会做的事情--我冒着生命的危险，爬上大树，把小猫救了下来！我心里真的好欢喜，很有成就感。可是又想起，我今天表现出了这么大的勇敢，却没人来欣赏！
咦？现在才发现到，怎么身边围了这么多人我都没察觉到的？这时，掌声响起，大家异口同声地说：“恭喜，恭喜，你终于成功了！”

Flowers 14/2/2009
I glanced at the calendar. It was the fourteenth of February. Two weeks ago, I had excitedly marked a red heart next to the date. But now, it was the day, and I did not feel excited anymore. Six days ago, I had just heard from my friends that my secret crush was crushing on another girl. Since that day, my mind had become strangely blank and I hardly ever noticed what I was doing.
I heard the rattle of the gate. It was the postman. I got up halfway from my chair, but then sat back down. Let somebody else get the post, I thought. I was sure that there would not be any letters for me.
"Beep, beep, beep!" The postman was honking. I got up most unwillingly from and went to the door, kicking a pouffe out of the way as I went to the door.
The postman handed three letters to me. I glanced at them. One was for my father, and the other two were for my sister. My heart sank. What had I expected? I turned on my heel moodily and started to go back into the house when a movement caught my eye. I looked to the left, and saw it, a bunch of flowers lying just outside the front door.
I blinked. Where had the flowers come from? I stooped down and picked them up. They were not just any flowers, they were roses. In fact, they were red roses. Red roses meant love. And it was Valentine's Day. And, judging from the movement I saw just now, the roses had just been thrown there seconds ago.
I dashed to the gate, and was just in time to see a boy disappearing round a corner. Even without seeing his face, I know who he was. It was my secret crush, Jeffery Tan. For a moment, I just stood there, trying to get my brain to absorb this startling fact. Jeffery just threw a bunch of roses at my front door? Had the rumours been untrue after all? Was it possible that he was in love with...with me?
I rushed after him. Just when I had nearly caught up with him, he broke into a sudden run. I raced after him, screaming, "Stop! Stop!". The passersby stared at us and a burly man stuck out his foot. Jeffery tripped over the man's foot and fell, sprawling on all fours, on the ground.
I hurried towards Jeffery and panted, "Are you all right?". He seemed surprised to see me. He nodded and glanced over his shoulder. Without a word, he walked straight on, motioning to me to follow. When we finally reached a busy street, he said to me, "Just now there was somebody following me."
I looked at him. He had run away just because he heard somebody following him? Not because he wanted to avoid me?
"And by the way," he added. "Why are you here?"
"I...I think the somebody who was following you might have been...been...me." I was stammering shamefully, watching as Jeffery's face grew steadily angrier.
"That was you?" He didn't raise his voice, but there was a certain amount of strain behind his voice that meant he was trying hard to restrain his anger.
"Yes--well," I added defensively. "It's your fault in the first place, who threw a bunch of roses over my gate just now?"
"What have your stupid roses got to do with me?" He was really losing his temper now. "Everyone knows that the girl of my dreams is Polly! I wouldn't look at you twice."
I felt humiliated and frustrated. "So...so it really wasn't you?"
"Were you deaf just now?" he yelled at me. "And now," he glanced at his watch, on which the surface was badly scratched due to the fall he had just now. "I'm ten minutes late for my first date with Polly!"
He pushed me roughly out of the way and, within minutes, was out of sight. I stood rooted to the spot, unable to move. Even my brain seemed to have jammed.
A loud honk brought me back to my senses -- I was standing too far out in the road. I walked back home, trying to comfort myself with the thought that even though my wildest dreams had been shattered, there was still a boy in this world who loved me enough to send me, anonymously, a bunch of flowers.
It seemed like no time at all when I reached home and was unlatching my front gate. I was walking to the front door of my house when my sister suddenly appeared out of the back garden. She was holding a bunch of hibiscuses.
"What are these for?" I asked, staring at the flowers.
"Oh, I thought that, since the flowers are in full bloom, I might as well pick some to decorate our house," said my sister. "Then our house wouldn't look so plain." She paused and added, "I just need one more type of flower, I've already got hibiscuses and the roses," she indicated the roses lying outside the front door, and continued, "that I picked just now."
I heard the rattle of the gate. It was the postman. I got up halfway from my chair, but then sat back down. Let somebody else get the post, I thought. I was sure that there would not be any letters for me.

升上中三后，我以做功课为理由，说服爸爸安装宽频网络。从此。我沉醉在网络的虚拟世界中，而真实世界里的一切事情，对我来说已不再是重要的了。
每天放学回到家，我就会立刻在电脑的键盘上滴滴答答地打下一个最熟悉的网址，翻译出来是“爱喜秋”（看不懂的人，这是ICQ）。这网站是让大家在网上认识朋友的，具有一系列的聊天室。每次，我都会去“朋友与家人”的聊天室。我在那儿认识了一位男生，他对我非常好。平时文静的我，把心事全都告诉了他--志文。因为，我心里总是想着反正志文不认识我，所以他是不会泄露我的秘密的。不知不觉的，我发现到我对志文的感情不止是朋友一般。而志文也似乎对我有一丝的爱情，于是我们便在网上谈起恋爱来了。（cheap到可怜=.=）
于是，在我每一天的日常活动中，总不可缺少上网，而且一上网，就是几个小时了。由于我今年将面临初中评估考试，所以我为自己定下了一个时间表，每天都得准时温习功课。但，这都已是过去的事情了。那时间表，早已被搁在一旁。我的读书时间全都花在上网。不但如此，而且每当学校有课外活动时，我一定不去，因为我要留在家上网。当然，这情况导致我的学业一败涂地，成绩差强人意，成绩册里“满江红”，而我的课外活动的分数是零分。但，这一切的一切，对我来说已不再是重要了。
我性格里的转变引起了各方面人士的注意。老师们对我的劝勉及责备，我当作耳边风。至于同学门的藐视，对我来说，一点影响力都没有，因为我至少还有志文！^^至于我的家人，经过多次的劝告后，他们终于气馁了，任凭我继续过我这虚空的生活。“一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴”这句谚语，让我听了好多次，不过我却还不懂得去理解，反之还感到厌烦。
我把这些事情都倾诉给志文，他就给予我鼓励，叫我千万不可这么轻易放弃这段感情。后来，他也提议要和我见面。由于当时的我心情错乱，我便答应了。我们约好在下个星期六，在柔佛洲的其中一个小村庄里见面。原来那就是志文的家乡！可是，第二天早上，我在报章上读到一个改变了我生命的新闻。
有一位女生，年龄约十六，十七岁，她也和我一样，在“爱喜秋”网站的聊天室遇见一位男生，与他建立起感情来。有一天，该名男生把女生约了出去，打算与她见面。怎么知道，一见面时，那名男生就攻击那名女生，想要侵犯她。幸好，临时有两名警察赶了上来，将男生捉回警察局。很巧的一件事情就是，他们相约的地点也是在柔佛洲的同一个村庄。更加不可思议的就是，那名男生在聊天室里的用户名竟然是是--志文！
读完这一段新闻后，我顿时晴天霹雳。在那一杀那之间，我看透了志文一直以来的虚假，而他一直以来给我的建议和安慰，都是背后带着刺，是故意要增强我对每一件事的负面态度。而在这时刻，我也从我从前的一切错误中醒悟了过来。这网络世界在我生命中，就像泡泡一样，“碰”的一声，破碎了。
经过这一次的教训后，我才明白到自己是多么的物质，容易被人影响。所谓“不经一事，不长一智”，我会好好地从这次的错误中领取教训，改过自新，从新做人。

完成故事 16/7/07
有一天，我正要从百货公司走出来时，一名保安人员把我拦住了。我为之一怔，吓得往后跑了几步。
那为保安人员以为我要逃之夭夭，就大声地喝着我：“小偷，别跑！”他的叫声引来许多人的注意。后来，我才发现到门边的警钟正在响着。在我的匆忙之中，我竟然没有发现到，
顿时，我的情绪十分混乱，害怕中参杂了紧张，紧张中却充满了愤怒，我最渴望的手提电脑已经售完了，现在还要面对这种情况。在我一时的愤怒之下，我不顾一切地把保安人员狗血淋头地臭骂一顿。四周围的人都愣住了。我也知道他们心中在想：这个人，偷了东西，不但不认错，还在那边骂人！想到这里，我更生气了。有其中一位售货员似乎要开口讲话，不过我根本就不让机会给他插嘴。
后来，当我冷静下来了，该保安人员告诉我，他有权利怀疑我偷了百货公司的货品，要求搜查我的背包。正当我无奈地把背包交过去时，刚才的那名售货员则向我们跑来。
我心里正开始胡思乱想了：唉，这个人应该是找到了什么证据，他们要控告我了。我将要坐牢了？不知道爸爸妈妈会有什么反应呢？想着想着。该名售货员开口说话了。我们大家都大吃一惊。
原来，刚才那个售货员不小心把一个水壶弄跌在地上了。那个水壶滚出了店门口，因此引起了警钟的响声。而当时，我又刚好就经过，所以就引起了这场误会。
那位保安人员连忙向我道歉，而我也因刚才一时的脾气向他道歉。于是，我们便互相原谅了对方，和好了。
我们无论做什么事情，都一定要先查清楚，不然回引起许多的误会，此外，我们也不应该随便向人发脾气，因为这会伤到别人的感情。

我们无论做什么事情，都一定要先查清楚，不然回引起许多的误会，此外，我们也不应该随便向人发脾气，因为这会伤到别人的感情。

完成故事 1/9/06
隔壁家的陈嫂和对面的杨太又吵架了，我由于被她们吵得不能温习，便出去探个究竟。陈嫂和杨太虽然是对好朋友，但是她俩的脾气都十分暴躁，时常吵架，害得这个无辜的邻居--我，常因不能专心温习功课而导致成绩名落孙山。
当我出去，听了一段对话后，才知道吵架的起因是陈嫂向杨太借了一个锅，现在却不见了。据陈嫂口中所说的，她把锅带给杨太时，见没有人在家，于是便把锅放在杨太的门口前，哪里知道却不见了。
她们正在大声地骂对方。陈嫂的脸红得冒烟。她的双眉竖了起来，正举起一个拳头。至于，杨太，她的脸可以烤鸡蛋了。她拾起了一块大石头，正在想办法瞄准陈嫂的头。根本没有人会相信她们是平时的那两位斯斯文文的美女。
我不想只是袖手旁观，于是走前几步，想调解一下纠纷，怎么知道就在这时杨太把石头丢过来了。杨太是出名瞄准东西的能力差，那石头“飞”进我家的大门口，打破了一个花盆。
这时，原本在睡觉的妈妈被花盆打碎的声音吵醒了。当她出去时，她就尽量使双方安静下来，问清楚事情的经过。这时，一个声音从杨家屋里传了出来。
“宝贝，你看我准备了什--”杨先生大摇大摆地走了出来。由于他年纪大了，所以耳朵有点聋，刚刚才发现到他妻子正在吵架。“发生什么事啊？”
当我们把事情一五一十告诉他后，他的脸涨红了。原来，今天是他和杨太结婚的第十周年，他特地准备了午餐，所以就用了那个锅。
杨太不好意思地向陈嫂道歉，陈嫂也原谅了她。我则回到房内继续温习功课。
邻居之间有时难免会有些磨擦，但最重要的两件事是要知错和互相谅解，这样才能够快乐地生活在一起。
