It was just another sunset.
I sat calmly on the picnic mat as I watched my little brother running around the beach chasing after my sister who was holding to his colourful beach ball. His laughter seemed to reverberate in the almost quiet surrounding of the beach. I smiled contentedly and closed my eyes as I basked in the evening glow. I could feel my stresses and tensions seeping out my lethargic body. Unknowingly, I shook my legs and moved my head to the soft beat of Michael Buble’s song as it played through the radio. The sound of waves crashing on the shore amplified the peacefulness of the beach.
I opened my eyes and observed the sunset. I watched the colours of sky turning from blue to reddish brown or even gold before it was swallowed by the night. My mind wondered aimlessly and my heart fluttered at the feel of wind on my skin. I could almost smell the sea from where I was sitting. I looked up and stared at the sky. My eyes followed a group of birds flying over the sky before they disappeared beyond the horizon.
I was interrupted by my siblings who brought ice-cream with them. Together, we ate the ice-cream and enjoyed each another’s company. We kicked on a little bit of sand with our feet and laughed our hearts out. I was amazed on how a little action in the evening glow can bring happiness in our hearts. We continued to finish our ice-creams before we pack up to leave. We walked back home with smiles brightly lit up on our faces.

A special moment I enjoyed with my family.
Teusday 26 January 2010
I always enjoyed the moments I spend together with my family doing something enjoyable.I can't list out all the moments but there is one moment I would like to share you readers(only if you are interested to read).This moment I truly treasure and appreciate it deeply.
My family and I often have our dinner together.What makes this a special moment to me is that I can feel the warmth of unity and closeness as family member flowing inside me when we all sit around the table.It also makes me comfortable because I know my loved one are all close to me,ready to lend a ear.
We usally discuss a lot of topics together like politics,current news and problems.And sometimes tough decisions too.For instance,the time when I had to choose my secondary school.We brainstormed the choice of schools and at last we came upon Victoria school(and that is how I chosed VS to persue my secondary education).
I strongly believe that this moment I spend with family have thought me skills which are very useful to me in the future.I learned to listen with empathy to problems face by others and think of the best solutions for them and discuss on current news and events so that I am not ignorant to what happenings around me.

A problem I encountered and how I solved or managed it.
Monday 25 January 2010
I stared at the list of my New Year's resolution.One of the list caught my attention.Itsays,"I will never underestimate Physic again".I closed my eyes and instantly a memory of a cold failure rushed to my mind.
The year was 2009.It was my first time taking Physic in Victoria School and the first time I failed this subject.Ialways thought that this subject was easy (easier than opening a peanut).Little did I know that it was wrong.Terible wrong...
During my Physic lessons,Iwould always dozed off or read a storybook under a science textbook(Ican"t help it Physic was too noob for me!).I would dread over another Physic note given to me.I often wished that the notes was a cake insted.Whenever the teachers gave me homework to do, i would just stuff it in my bag.I would always managed to dash my homework before assembly the day after.
I cried the whole day when I knew that I have failed my physic CA1 in early March 2009.When I finally pull myself together,I vowed to changed my attitude toward Physic and get a good mark the next time.
I started my 100% attention during Physuc lesson and I duly completes my homework with pride and attended remedial classes to amplfy my effort in improving my Physics.I'm determined to get a good grade for Physics.
I finally passed my Physics with flying colours during the Mid-Year examination.I remembered my heartbeat in excitement and I was drunk with euphoria.After all "Nil sine labore".

Something that took place in school.
Sunday 24 January 2010
I have always enjoyed Sports Day. Especially the sports day that was held last year. It was my first sports day as a Victorian and it was indeed a memorable and fun-filled event that had also taught me the meaning of respect and teamwork. Apart from the new environment and friends, I have discovered greater grounds for the meaning of respect and friendship. Sports day could be viewed as an arena for individuals to reap medals and gold but I have seen more than that in Victoria. Teachers were perpetually inspirational motivators who show the way for Victorians to excel freely. They coached and gave moral support to spur the students. Sport captain were elected and were delegated to assist their classmates to plan for sports day. Sports day 2009 was a successful because the whole school, including the teaching and non-teaching staff, has come together with the students to make Sports Day memorable. The school had directly become a big team who has cultivated teamwork to the maximum. Regardless of the levels of students or teachers and the other school staff had put their effort, love, and support to make Sports Day a memorable event especially for me. To me, teamwork means the hard work of a group of people to bring something together to success. But from Sports Day 2009, I have learnt more. I t was not only about hard work but love, compassion, friendship and support for one another. Despite it may be an arena for students to compete their talents on track, Victorians displayed somehow a kindles spirit and a sense of brotherhood amongst us. By achieving, regardless, of first place or another , it create a positive and healthy competition amongst the competitors but it meant greater teamwork between them and their classmates. Even by cheering for him is a mere action of teamwork. It is to express support. Nevertheless, teamwork would not be possible if it wasn’t for respect for one another. To work in a team and to achieve teamwork, one must respect others’ capabilities and opinions. He also has to be willing to accept diverse views. Respect also cannot be earned if one doesn’t respect the other. It is a two-way win-win situation. During the sports day, I admitted that I could not participate in any track events but I was not given up by my classmates. They, in fact, have whispered words of encouragement to boost my spirit. After all, it was an event to be enjoyed. Eventhough we did not clinch the title for best overall performance class for sports day, my classmates and I knew that we were already winners from the start. My classmates and I duly respect the result and were proud of the spirit of teamwork that we have achieved. This flame of spirit of teamwork will never waver as long as we are Victorians. And that will be forever.

Something unusual that happened that day...
Thursday 21 January 2010
I have always enjoyed the time that I spend with my family.My family is the best place to spend my pastime and share my feelings.My family willl always there at my side whenever I am happy or sad.
Every Sunday evening,my family and I will visit a nearby park.It make us elated to listen to the chirping of the birds and the rusting of the leaves.Last month,my family and I saved a young boy from an attack of a ferociuos dog.At that time,we were sitting on a bench when we heard a scream.To our surprise,a dog was biting a boy'sleg.We swiftly sprung into action.My father quickly separated the boy from the dog and mother brought the boy to a safe distance from the dog and tried to calm him down(I accidentally pee in my pants when wacthing this scene).The other park users saw what happened and they lend a hand to my father was trying to soothe the dog.The dog,seeing a crowd coming to him,ran away.
The other park user who witnessed the scened spread the news of my parents heroic act(I actually not sure if this is true).Now the whole neighbourhood greet my parents with-eyed admiration and respect(I exaggerate this part a bit).
This incident will forever etched in my mind and I believe this somehow strengthen my family together.I am grateful to have the right kind of family and will try to appreciate every single moments that I spend with my family.
