My favourite food
What is my favourite food? Ranging from pizzas to Chinese noodles. There’s just too much to be named! For me, perhaps food that could fill my stomach is my favourite food! In any other cases, food from posh restaurants is simply delicious and pretty! In addition, the price of the dishes is very pretty to look at too! To think about it, that’s obviously true. Look at the high costs of the dishes. A plain beef steak could actually rise up to the price of thirty plus or even more. Why? Blame it on the high expenses of the restaurants. But as the saying goes, you pay for what you deserve. If you can’t bear to part with large amounts of money, then try considering hawker food.
Food from hawker centres may not be as bad compared to food from the posh restaurants. But that really depends on one’s personal taste bud. As for me, if I have to really pick one main dish from hawker centres, it would be chicken rice. There are few reasons for my choice. Let me explain why.
Firstly, chicken rice is easily accessible. Be it in shopping centres to canteen food stores, the craving for chicken rice could be easily satisfied.
Although it is very common, but think about it, it is cheap and yummy. In addition, it could fill your stomach without you having to worry whether you are going to go on a hunger strike after a few hours.
Secondly, chicken rice is a hot favorite among my Chinese and Malay friends. Whenever we have a lunch or dinner together, it’s always hard to decide what we wish to eat as some of the food is not halal. Therefore, we decided to settle for halal chicken rice as everyone has agreed on. It’s always felt good that friends could get together and lunch.
Lastly, chicken rice is actually famous in Singapore, well known as ‘food paradise’ So the main thing is that not just expensive food could be famous and tempting but humbly dishes like chicken rice and laksa could fit the bill too.
We don’t have to spend extravagant money just to eat good food. Just a plate of chicken rice could make your day too =)

Dear Mrs. Sim,
Hi! How are you? Is everything going smoothly? The purpose of writing a letter to you is to share with you about the changes that I have experienced since school reopened in 2008.
First of all, our class has moved up to the gallery! No longer sitting down on the floor like how we used to when we were in sec 1s. 2s and 3s. Its a great feeling. Perhaps it’s because sitting at the gallery means that you have passed your secondary 3 promotion exams and also, being known as the ‘seniors’ in the whole school.
Secondly, the school has made some changes to our school uniform. It’s no longer the pin-on badge. It is now, iron-on badge. The advantage is that we, the students will never get caught by teachers again for forgetting to pin the badge on our collars. But the disadvantage is that the iron-on badge tends to fall off easily. It isn’t very durable. In addition, the iron-on badge is pretty ugly compared to the pin-on badge.
Thirdly, the changes I have experienced so far is the time we have to reach school. Previously, we, the students have to wake up early in the morning to prepare for school. But now, fret not! Every Thursday, there would be a delay in school. We could reach school before 8.30am. Isn’t that great? For once, we could wake up a little later than usual. I believe this would help us to concentrate on our studies even more as we would have sufficient sleep.
Fourthly, our school has some sort of renovated. It is now beautifully painted. Even the floor of the hall has been repainted. Some of the classes have colour red for the back of their class walls, some have grey, we have yellow! It’s quite refreshing as our classroom looks bright.
Fifthly, we had a change of teachers. Mr. tang, our secondary three form teacher and Ms Wong, our principle of accounts teacher did not follow us up to secondary four as they were leaving for other schools.
Lastly, we had a change of classrooms. The secondary four express used to have our classrooms at level 5. But we have since shifted up to level 6 as level 5 is quite noisy. I love our classroom as it has a wonderful view. Most of the time, we would be able to get a whiff of the food coming from the nearby hawker centre. It’s very tempting especially for those who didn’t have their breakfast. Our classroom is very windy plus we are located at the highest level of the school- level 6. Hence, it would be quite cold at times.
These are some of the changes I have experienced since school reopened in 2008. Could you share some of the changes you have experienced since school reopened in 2008 too?
Our class still misses you! Hope to hear from you soon!

Letter to Mrs. Sim/9:10 PM

Three years of friendship bonding is borned on 2005, in Kent Ridge Secondary School.
Looking back, I started to reminisce. I remember the first day of school, I was so lonely and scared. My legs were trembling, my heart was beating faster and faster till I can feel that it was going to leap out from my mouth. I was shaking with fear. I don’t wish to be left alone for the whole day. Just then, a girl almost as small as I am, wearing the same uniform as I am, stepped up to me. The simple greeting from her really warmed my heart. She introduced herself as Misheel, from Mongolia. The first impression I had of her was a happy-go-lucky girl, sociable and sporty. Soon, we started to chat about our personal life in class.
The student councilors then brought us around the school to let us feel more familiar with the surroundings. We had ice breaker games. Its really fun as I could make new friends during the game and also to get to know each other better. I was quite satisfied with the school as I counted myself lucky to be able to make new friends on the first day in a totally strange and unfamiliar place.
I remember vividly that Msheel and I went home together and we had a long chat as if we known each other for years. Unknowingly, through those years till now, we became best of friends and I made myself some other very close friends too.
The end.
