HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT

      It was a Sunday night. I walked home alone after buying some food from the nearby night market. I walked along Jalan Mutiara 2. It was quite a deserted road and very few cars were around. As it was getting dark, I walked quickly.

     In a distance, I saw an old woman walking along the pavement. She was pushing a cart. I supposed she was one of the vendors at the night market. She looked tired as she pushing the cart. A bolt out of the blue, a speeding red car came passed her. There was a loud screeching sound. The cart she pushed was thrown far away. The poor old woman was fall and laid motionlessly on the pavement.

      It was a hit and run accident. The driver never stopped but sped off like greased lightning. I quickly took down the car number and used my mobile to call for the police and the ambulance. Within a minute, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics ran down from the ambulance and quickly sent the unconscious victim to the hospital. Soon, the police also arrived at the spot. One of the policeman recorded my statement.

     I felt sorry for the poor old woman. The driver should at least stopped and helped when his car hit the old women. He should not run away when things happened. This is such an irresponsible attitude.

A FAMILY OUTING AT TEMPLER PARK

        It was a crisp Saturday morning. My father brought us to the waterfall at Templer Park. It was located in the countryside.The journey took about an hour. It was a pleasant journey as the scenery along the way was breathtaking.

        There was already a big crowd at the waterfall as we arrived. The waterfall cascading from the top of the hill. We were mesmerised by the crystal clear water. The air was fresh. It was such a marvellous place to have family and friends gathering. We then helped to spread the map on the ground under a big tree and began to arrange food on it.

        My mother had prepared lots of delicacies such as sandwiches, fried rice and some pastries. My brother and I quickly changed into our swimming trunks and jumped into the water. We splashed the cool water and giggled at each other. My father managed to snap some photos while we were playing happily in the water. We felt we were in paradise as the view around us was so beautiful beyond description.

       After spending about an hour in the water, we felt a little bit hungry. We changed back into our dry clothes and enjoy the food that our mum had prepared. The food was tasty and scrumptious that we had almost finished all the food within a minute. There was a lot of colourful fish swimming in the water.There were some men using a fishing net to catch fish. We left the waterfall at about six in the evening. It was such a memorable outing.

        A family picnic at the waterfall is a good way bond with family members. Besides, there are also many other activities toward achieving close-knit family such as visiting grandparents in the village during the weekend, doing gardening or cooking at home together or even going for a movie.

     

MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION

        My family and I celebrate Mother's Day in a famous restaurant treated by our father every year. But this year, we decide to celebrate Mother's Day at home. We all planned the event weeks before. My mum was kept in the dark about the celebration.

        On that day, my father brought my mum to have breakfast and then they went for a movie. My father was supposed to bring mum home in the evening. My sister and I stayed at home to cook some scrumptious dishes while my brother went to the bakery shop to fetch the cake we ordered a week ago. He also stopped at the near by florist's to buy a bouquet of white roses.

         Later, three of us decorated the hall with colourful balloons and we also hung a big banner on the wall. The banner was written " Happy Mother's Day! We love you very much mum!". Everything was set up properly on the table and we had also put on our nice clothes to wait for our parents to come home.

         It was about 6.00p.m in the evening. My dad brought mum back on time. As both of them entered the house, my brother took out the cake and my sister presented our mum the bouquet of white rose. At the same time,we all said " Happy Mother's Day " to her. Then we took turns to hug and kiss her. My mother was touched and she was in tears of joy.

        Mother's Day is a crucial and special event for all the mothers in the world. It is the day for all the children to thank and appreciate their mother. Mothers had sacrificed their time and love us unconditionally.
