Cross-country

26 of March is our school's annual cross-country. My dad drove me to Macritchie Reservior ,I saw many seniors also walking as the same way as me ,so i follow them up to the meeting point where i meet my classmates there.
We chatted for a short while ,while teachers are busily taking attendence. We find our friends ,chat and finally the student counsillors ask us to squat or sit on the grass patch which is wet... 1E1's student who is next to me said that just now they saw leachers ,caterpillars and other worms crawling around at the grass! So we didn't sit ,just squating there and feeling our legs aching... Sometimes when our legs really very pain ,we will use our hand to support ourself first and let our legs rest. After Mr Tan talk to us ,we all were instructed to stand up and boys were to stand infront while the girls behind. Ms Chin then bring we girls to the starting point of the cross-country!
We started to run along the path and into the forest ,as it rains in the early morning ,the road was slipery when we are inside theforest as there's muds and puddles of water around... We ran a long way before we see our classmates in NCC ,he is in the shelter! When he sees us ,he smile and wave ,we pass him and ran further down the road. We ran into another part of the forest and when we came out of the forest and saw a pond ,we also saw Mdm Yick. She asks us if we want any water ,so we stop beside her and took a sip from her new bottle of water. After we drank the water ,we thanks Mdm Yick and started to run again... This time ,we had to run up a slope and down again... When we were going up ,we run slowly as the slope is slipery and we might fall if we are careless ,but when we goes down the slope ,I was feeling like flying because straight away after my feet touch the ground ,I started to "take off " again... We pass teachers ,counsillors and NCC cadats and finally came to the last part of the race...
We walk beside the express-way and into the Macrichie Reservior again... After we finish the cross-country ,we saw our friends who take part in the competition. We pour mineral water on each other to cool ourself down. That's really fun as we pour on the person and they were like shocked and ask ,"Why pour on me?" that's what I find it funny for the day...
Not long after that ,we were dismissed. I take bus home with my classmates as we are all heading the same way... Over all ,what I can say about this year's cross-country was awesome. Although this year is the first year i took part in this kind of race ,but I really feels good about it and I wish this kind of feelings will follow me in the years I'm in Chong Boon Secondary School...

A Far Away Place That I Wish To Go To

I want to go to China! I dont have specific place because i would like to travel the WHOLE of China! But the most place I really want to go is Guang Zhou. As my grandpa's dad come from there ,i would like to go there too. My dad has went back before ,my grandpa has also went back before ,but is only me who has never go back to the place where my ancestors live before...
I heard from my grandpa's brother tat our house there has only left 1 or 2 people living there to help us take care of the house. But what if they cannot stay there anymore? Are we going to leave the house there and never go back to repair it? We need to know that a house without anyone tidying it will soon "disappear" into the grass in front of it...
As a child studying in Singapore ,who wants to knows about how people live in kampong ,I would like to go back there to understand how my dad or my mum lives in the past when they are almost the same age as me... I also know that ,when im back from my trip ,I will be a better person as I know all the advantage given to us will not be given to the next generation if we dont take care of it...
