hmmm kinda a failure essay

 

        The  most  jovial  man  on  earth,  Mr.  Alex  Mill  who  espoused  the  enchanting  dazzling  lady  ever,  Mrs.  Carnation  Mill  in  1977  had  triumphantly  shaped  an  ideal  clan  consists  of  their  outstanding  controversial  yet  passionate  son,  Xavier,  their  second  prudent  child  which  refers  to  me,  Hannah  and  their  most  mischievous  youngest  son  who  often  impels  everyone  to  go  lunatic,  Derrick.  Another  member  is  our  ever  dependable  faithful  St.  Bernard,  Benny.

 

           We  live  a  nomadic  life  because  dad  is  frequently  transferred  to  various  areas.  We  knew  lots  of  people  but  it  ends  during  the  Mill’s  high  school  in  a  well-known  town,  St.  Valleyhigh.  The  Mill’s  children  are  already  reputable  in  every  high  school  that  they  went  and  so  is  this  one.  We  are  active  in  outdoors  sports  and  academics  too.

 

               In  this  town  with  friendly  neighborhoods,  right  in  the  heart  of  it  is  where  the  brilliant  high  school  was  built.  As  I  enjoyed  my  walk  down  the  boys’  lockers  with  Xavier  after  three  hours  of  dreadful  classes,  I  thought  about  things  I  was  going  to  do  and  what  I  had  learned.  Then,  came  the  stinky  Giles  singing  that  awful  song  as  if  he  owned  the  school.  Some  jerks  just  do  not  perceive  how  to  be  considerate.

 

            I  knew  that  Xavier  was  having  a  basketball  tournament  soon.  Xavier  had  invited  the  whole  clan  to  watch  him  that  night  but  I  knew  dad  would  not  be  there  although  he  promised.  Even  though  he  was  a  jolly  type,  but  he  was  always  busy  and  often  stressed  up.

 

           As  I  took  a  bus  to  the  field  with  Benny  because  mum  brought  Derrick  for  a  hair  cut  and  would  be  late,  I  watched  the  beautiful  maple  leaves  dancing  along  the  path  following  the  wind.  How  I  wish  dad  could  leave  his  job  and  find  a  new  one  which  does  not  give  him  so  much  pressure  and  would  be  able  to  spend  his  quality  time  with  his  precious  family  like  when  we  were  young.

 

          I  was  one  of  the  early  bird  but  time  moved  like  a  gigantic  wave  chasing  the  shore.  Benny  sat  on  the  bench  beside  me  to  have  a  better  view  of  Xavier.  Mum  and  Derrick,  who  both  had  nicer  look  after  hair  cut  sat  beside  Benny  but  Dad  never  appeared  that  night.  The  game  was  impressive  and  St.  Valleyhigh  won  against  St.  Carl,  61-54.  Obviously,  Xavier  was  let  down  and  was  moody  for  a  few  days.

 

          Anyway,  I  was  still  wondering  why  dad  wanted  to  keep  himself  so  busy  and  under  pressure?  Was  he  trying  to  keep  away  from  his  wonderful  clan?  Or  maybe he  was  trying  to  hide  something  from  us?

 

         I  dared  myself  many  times  to  inquire  dad  about  the  truth.  Mum  tried  to  stop  me.  Maybe  mum  knew  why  but  she  pretended   to  be  ignorant.  Besides,  dad  only  cared  about  Derrick  and  mum  but  very  little  on  me  and  Xavier.  Were  we  not  his  children?  Had  he  forgotten  about  his  two  obedient  and  wonderful  gift  from  God  to  him  back  in  1980’s?  Why  were  Xavier  and  I  not  receiving  dad’s  love  so  much  now?  Why  was  he  neglecting  us?  Why  had  he  changed  so  much?  Why?

 

         I  felt  hurt  and  so  was  Xavier.  Although  Derrick  was  the  youngest  but  we  were  still  part  of  his  flesh  and  blood,  forever!  We  got  a  big  fight  with  dad  one  night  after  he  disagreed  with  us  going  hiking  in  the  coming  Saturday.  It  continued  until  dad  was  so  frustrated  that  he  blurted  out  “I  don’t  allow  and  I  don’t  care  about  both  of  you  as  you  are  not  mine!”  Everyone  was  silent.  Xavier  and  I  did  not  understand.  A  jovial  dad  turned  out  to  be  the  other  way  round.  Since  then,  I  hated  him  but  I  still  hope  that  dad  would  love  us  like  how  he  did  before.

 

       The  moments,  days  and  memories  never  came  back.  During  dad’s  journey  back  from  St.  Journeyville  to  St.  Valleyhigh,  he  was  gone  forever.  When  mum  informed  the  three  of  us,  we  all  were  heart  broken.  There’s  no  exception  in  it.  Dad  left  without  even  trying  to  love  us  again.  He  did  not  leave  a  note  or  anything.  Xavier  and  I  were  heartbroken  but  what  can  we  do  to  get  dad  back?  Mum  was  calm  and  encouraged  us  to  continue  our  life.  Derrick  who  was  so  close  to  dad  had  cried  so  much  and  we  all  missed  dad.  But  why  did  he  leave  this  way?  Why  did  he………?

THIS IS DA KCH WATERBOARD ESSAY COM TOO

Title: Saving water, our diminishing commodity

 

   If Earth is look down from the view of space, it has a predominant colour of blue. The surface of Earth is made up of approximately 70% of water which perhaps we should have better called the Earth, Ocean. As facts had stated, there is a percentage of 97.5% of salt water on Earth leaving only 2.5% of fresh water which basically are sources from the frozen icecaps, lakes, rivers, reservoirs and those underground sources that are shallow enough to be tapped at an affordable cost. In years to come despite our inherent natural tendency to think otherwise, 2/3 people on earth will face a fresh water shortage by the year 2025 yet fresh water is not an exhaustless commodity and we are running out fast.

   

 

   Moreover, years to come people are prone to get health-related sickness associated with lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. The annual cost of meeting to the basic needs of all people in developing countries like us is only 1/10^th of world’s government expenditure on armaments each year.

 

     There are lots of importances when it comes to saving water. First and foremost, it is to sustain the population growth which is increasing rapidly from years to years. Ever since last forty five years the population and doubled and if the rates of birth or death continues, it is expected to double again in the next fifty years. Besides, water is also an important role to agriculture in order to ensure consistent production of agriculture products annually.  In addition, in industry field, they are also fighting with agriculture felid for the supply of water for a greater share as everything produced consumes water yet when our consumer society is promoting an escalation of excess. Not to forget, water is also important to home usage where mostly average users would use approximately 150 gallons of water each day.

 

          It is pretty obvious that we should be aware with the importance of saving water as the effects from it are affecting other sources directly. For instant, just by saving water we will help to decrease disease in humans, flora and fauna. Additionally, the water stores that collect necessary concentrate chemical run-offs from agriculture and industry will not be diminishing,. As a result, the remaining supplies will not be increasingly dangerous and even not resulting in toxic algae blooms that can convert dwindling freshwater reserves into poisonous sludge. 

 

       There are many ways to save water. It is all about how willingly an individual does it or the individual’s attitude and thinking. As we are doing some simple work at home such as brushing teeth or soaping dishes, we should turn off the tap after use or when we are not using it and not let the tap runs continuously. We should also replace shower tap head with an ultra low-flow version which enable us to cut down 50% of water usage.

 

       While washing vegetables or dishes, use a basin and the water there after can be use to water plants. We should also avoid constantly flushing the toilet unnecessarily. We may use a pail instead of hose. This applies to watering plants. We should try watering the plants in the early morning or in the late evening to reduce evaporation. Surprisingly, the water used for washing clothing can be reused for cleaning toilet or floor.

 

               In order to wash a huge compound such as the house porch or drains, try collecting rain water to do so. During cleaning the windows we should try using newspapers as carbon absorbs dust very easily. Recycle is the most ideal steps to start saving water as recycling paper will reduce pulp and paper industry. Glass and metal are also great contributors so best, limit your consumption first. Plastic recycling are hoax and never attempt to buy it instead avoid it. 

 

               In a nutshell, we as a responsible individual should show some solidarity with vulnerable people. We should learn to buy what we need and watch its impact on the environment as well as people’s lives. We should also be aware with the learning of non-violence. In addition, we also may heal a rift with a friend or within family. As we always hear, plant a tree as it does many benefits to Earth and us. The most important one is never waste resources that are so valuable to us now especially during the area of globalization plus the shortage of resources.

            It was still early to get up and prepare for school as it was only three in the morning but I count not help to stay awake. Therefore, I decided to take a walk to the seaside to watch the twilight.

 

             Although it was too early for me, I could watch many other villagers getting ready to sail to the sea. Therefore, I sat down at one corner until I did not realize it was time to go to school. I managed to wave goodbye to dad too.

 

              Time moved very fast and there were many things need to be done. Mum will only give my sister and I to share a piece of cake before walking to school. Then, my sister and I would wait for our neighbour’s daughter, Kim, to join us to school.

 

              I studied in the same class with Kim. We were best friends since young. Although we live in poverty but it was indeed an unadorned life. She was the apple of her parent’s eyes.

 

              

             After this, mum and Kim’s mother would go to the nearby river to do laundry. Our dads had gone out to the sea early this morning and would only be back in two day’s time. I am sure going to miss him.   

 

             Anyway, after school, Kim’s mum and my mum would prepare a simple lunch for us and our families normally eat together at the ‘pondok’ which Kim’s dad and my dad built. Sometimes, if we were lucky enough, we would get some meat in our dish or else it was just some salted fish, rice blachan and one kind of the vegetable planted at our backyard. The food we ate during lunch would be heated up later to be our dinner again.

 

             During evenings, Kim, my sister and I would normally go for a stroll around the village. The air was so fresh and the roads were not too busy with vehicles. Sometimes we would have some beverage at Pak Kiah’s stall near the ‘masjid’.

 

             Since we were waiting for our dad to come home, we went to the beach to wait in case they came back early while at the same time enjoying the sunset. Well, after a long wait, my mum came to the beach to ask us back home for dinner. Therefore, it was not an early arrival of our dads at all. We still have tomorrow anyway. They are sure to come home tomorrow. My dad never lies to me.

 

             Yes, my dad never lies to me but in certain problem he cause me though that he lied. The next day, early in the morning, I took a peep out to the sea to find that there were no signs of my dad’s boat. I started to worry but mum was there to comfort my sister and me.

 

             Coincidently, not only my sister and I were worried, even Kim was and her mum too. Although so, we continued our routine daily until three days later. There was a huge crowd near the sea. Everyone running towards the seashore.

 

             I did not notice the crowd until someone came to knock on the door and informed my family that my dad and the crew had arrived. I was delighted and relieved but something deep in me gave me an uneasy feeling when I hugged my dad.

 

             I caught sight of the rest of the members but here was not Kim’s dad. I enquired my dad and he announced that their ship wrecked and Kim’s dad could not be found.

 

             Kim’s family broke into tears. My family and I helped to comfort them. The head of the village had arranged a look out for Kim’s dad. Many of them were youths and among them were Kim herself and me. Kim was very determined and strong. All the other youths admired her characteristics. All the other villagers too help by giving some food or cash and other necessities.

 

             Beside that too, we would gathered the whole village at night to pray for Kim’s dad to be safe and could be found soon. Although Kim was sad but she did not show it. She was really a tough and strong girl.

   

             After a long search, the whole village almost gave up except Kim herself. During one dawn, she found a living body hidden near the mangrove tree’s roots. To everyone’s relief it was Kim’s dad! Everyone was so delighted, relieved, grateful and tears of joy and happiness were wept. There was a dinner specially held for Kim’s dad. However, Kim’s dad never revealed what happened to him. Nobody knew why or what had happened. Well, I guess it was better to put it this way.        

 

ESSAY COMpetition too

 

 

 

     A school nowadays is known as a place where students compete to achieve excellent results, which will benefits their future. However, this has causes the main purpose of going to school is for being put aside and students tend to get under great pressure. Furthermore, the school system starts to drop and most students could not survive with it, as school system does not reflect their true potential.

      School is a place for students to gain knowledge for their own benefit in future and is not to compete with others from exam results. Exams are carried out to make sure the students understand what was taught.

     Therefore, my own ideal school would be a place like how I said earlier, a place free from pressure but study in a serene environment.

     Firstly, for my school it will be in a shape of octagon and is four-storey tall. It will have an ultra modern look made from synthetic fiber. This will help to make the infrastructure strong, light, flexible, and non-corrosive. The most important one is it is friendly to the nature as well as it will not be demolish easily during earthquake occurs. The surrounding of the school will be full of facilities such as sports grounds and fields as well as floras. The interior designing would be lighted with chandeliers and the floors are made of parquet.

     As for the teachers, they would be at least one teacher for all the different lessons and they are experience yet a teacher who takes teaching seriously. They would allow soft music to be played during students doing their assignments or class works. This would help to ease the boredom of students.

     Meanwhile the lessons taught would be of every student’s choice and its amount is based on the level of a student. As it was said in the beginning, exams are given as a form of making sure every student understand what was taught. There will not be any major exam besides semester exam and during the last year of high school, a special exam is given and that exam result would be for the student’s future use. Homework and assignments are still going to be given in order to let students practice their skills and understanding. Every homework and assignment will be taken it marks so that students will take them seriously.

     School will starts at eight in the morning and ends at four in the afternoon. Breakfast will be at ten in the morning where as lunch break will be at twelve thirty until two in the afternoon. The cafeteria will provide breakfast and lunch in a buffet form and self-service would be practiced.

    The eating hall would be spacious and is equip with teak wood chairs and tables where as the cutleries utensils are always taken while taking the food displayed. Other spices like ketchup, chilies sauce, salt, pepper, Soya sauce or any other would be provided in one corner and beverage are also displayed next to the spices corner.

          Well the technology in school will be as such. Every student is entitled to a free laptop during signing into the school so that every assignment, homework, and notes can be referred or complete at anywhere and anytime a student wishes to.

     Every student will need to create an e-mail address to enable the teacher to communicate with the students during emergency such as sending the lists of assignment and homework when the student is absent. Where as for the students, they will have to send an e-mail on that particular day they are absent, why they are absent and other important details. This will help to avoid any pending reasons from students about their absent because if they fail to send an e-mail explaining their absent that day, they are counted as escaping school and serious actions will be taken.

     In my ideal school which is a co-ex school, all boys are suppose to wear a tie with white top with collar and black trousers where as for the girls they are allowed to choose whether to wear a skirt or long pants of  black color and a front-buttoned white blouse. No jeans are allowed and this will help to disciplines the students. All the co-curricular activities are compulsory to the students and their will be varieties of clubs and sports to choose from.

     Therefore, this is my ideal school, no pressure, no worries, just the luxury of study.

I was lonely after that. Mum is a senior certify accountant in a big company and has to work over time too. Therefore, she had no time for me.

I have no one to turn to anymore when I face a difficulty especially like this one, which is so huge!

     Indeed, like what I was thought “he who is patient can have whatever he wills.” I have achieved my bright future with success after so many years of great patient and I am proud of it.

TITLE: CLEAN WATER, HEALTHY COMMUNITY

 

      In daily life of a human being, we basically need water in many ways. Our body for instant is already made up of ninety percents of liquid, which comes from water that we consume. We also use water to bath and when we need beverage, water needs to be boiling to kill the microorganisms. Rain that form droplets of water would help the plants to grow as our food. I must admit water plays a very important role in our life. Without water is like having a heart, which fails to pump, blood to produce oxygen for respiration.

      Water is a compulsory needs in human life. Therefore, there is no doubt that water must be guaranteed clean before it is able to be consume or else the effects will cause human’s health to deteriorate. Each human’s health plays a very important role to our community as we are basically known as the assets of our community. In Malaysia, we are known very well for our varieties of race in our community. However, without any human, a community cannot be formed. Human’s energy too play an important role to our country and without us our economic in the country will get worst and also will be facing a big loss from the aspect of financial. Indeed, it is a really hard tasks to carry out especially in maintaining our health due to not only other aspects but also the toughest by trying to consume clean water. Our country’s technology is sufficiently enough to keep and distribute clean water to all the consumers. Then why are there still problems with unclean water?

       Normally, unclean water is caused by our bad habits that are hard to change. We tend to find the easy way out and for instant, a student is eating an ice-cream while strolling near a river and that student is lazy to find a dustbin and threw the wrapper into the into the river. This student’s mindset would be that it is just a wrapper that would not do much harm to the river, but what if everyone does the same thing. The river will surely be contaminated and the living creatures in it will die of suffocation or poisoning. Moreover, factories too chose to find the easy way out by throwing all its toxic substances to the river and pollute it. What will happen to the river sooner or later? What especially will happen to the water content? What about us, as the consumer who count on the river for water supply in the water treatment centre?

      This also reflects that we as one community are lack of civic mindedness. If we are civic concern, then unclean water would not be found. At the same time too, human nowadays are very self-centered and do not care about others. Now, this human nature is getting its fame very fast and this should not be happening. The nature being conserved needs cooperation from us and what more if its to keep our river clean to gain the harvest of clean water for everyone?

      If you ask what healthy community, by the help of clean water can help? Many, I must say! If I can mention all, I would love to but I would like to emphasize on just two particular points. Firstly, the community will be able to consume the water without any doubts of getting any poisoning or even sickness. This coincidently leads to the second point; it would help to prevent the rate of death due to sickness to increase.

      Therefore, as a courteous and responsible citizen, we should try to help and improve the quality of water. We can start by throwing all disposals in a proper place. The rules and regulations should be stricter and offenders who does pollution as well as littering should be fined or being put to prison. The government should also try to upgrade the water treatment technology since information technology is so advanced. a campaign too can be carried out and many activities can be done through the campaign such as seminars, talks, whole sales promotion of the campaign and many more beneficial activities.

      In a nutshell, having a healthy community will really gives lots of benefits. However, to have a healthy community, clean water plays a very important role despite all the other needs. Besides, cooperation from the community itself is needed in order for our own goodness. Remember, we can make a difference.
