chinatown

Last week,my teacher,Ms Lin brought us to Chinatown to enable us to know more about the Chinese culture.Before going,Ms Lin had reminded us to bring the things that we need but I forgot to bring umbrella.I decided to call my mother during recess.Ms Lin had also reminded us to put on our best behaviour during the journey.

The time came and we went to have our lunch in the before going on the excursion.After that, we climb up the bus.We also have a leader,Mr How.He will introduce more about the Chinese culture to us.hat we were very lucky.I was so fortunate as there is air-con on the bus.I thought that it was going to be an exciting trip but where I go was the temple and the Chinese heritage tour.But going there, I have learnt that Salo lane was once lined with death houses.


The Chinese name for Chinatown('Niu Che Shui' literal translation means 'bullock carts' water) came about because when there was no water supply in Chinatown back early days of Singapore ,people living and working there relied on bullock carts for the transportation of water.


After a tiring day,I am still very happy as I learnt something new today.

listening to one of his best friends song

Vikram was listening to the radio "Walking on Sunshine". He was at once reminded of John being a singer. John loved to sing "Walking on sunshine'' as that was his favourite song.

Vikram remembered the happy moments they shared together. They were best friends. Both of them enjoyed playing soccer. They also said that they wanted to be in the school team. Both of them wanted to be the two most outstanding players. vidram wanted to quit at first because John was no longer around. Then, he thought for a while. vikram decided to do his friend proud as they both wanted to be the most outstanding pupils. He missed how their parents had called them " The twins". He also remembered how John died.

John was riding on his bicycle on the road when he lost his balance and hit his head against something hard. He dead of excessive blood loss. When John died, Vikram was grief-stricken. He was very lonely. Vikram would look at the photos that they had taken together whenever he misses him.
