Darren Heng's Compo planning for Fire

Intro:

• “Help! Fire!” a woman screamed as she raised her hand and ran around like a headless chicken.
• Then, the newscaster continued with her speech, telling everyone about the fire that took place at a flat.
• It jolted my memory as I recollected that fateful day…

Body 1:

• “Help! Fire!” screams pierced the air as smoke was billowing out of a flat. The raging fire licked the walls as it was almost unstoppable.
• The intense heat filled the area as the miniature inferno only grew bigger.
• I watched the wooden windows get charred as I shipped out my phone to call for the fire department. “Help! Ahhh!” a high pitched voice rang from the tenth storey window. However, she never got to finish her sentence when an explosion blew her and a flaming wooden chair out of the room. The mushroom cloud that formed almost reduced the visibility to near zero. My heart thumped as the wait was endless. We helplessly watched the building being destroyed.

Climax:

• When the fire department and police arrived, they sprang into action. Policemen cordoned the place off. Some firemen brought fire extinguishers to start putting out the fire at once. While others attached a house to a fire hydrant.
• Most of the fireman dashed into the burning building in search of the source of the fire and survivors in the flames. The rest stood outside the building to spray jets of water into the building. Their coordination was incredible.

Ending:

• Soot was arising as visibility was near zero. Reporters and television crews appeared at the scene.
• The firemen rescued all the survivors and had put out the fire already.
• They walked out of the building towards the media with their chest up high. The reporters asked a string of questions to the firemen

Planning(Fire)

Introduction-
-Memories
-At my primary six graduation , I saw Mr.Cheng , the guest-of-honor.
-When he went on stage , he exclaimed , “fire is a good servant but a bad master.”
-It jolted my memory as I recollected that fateful day…

Body 1-
-I was left alone at home as my parents were working the night shift at a nearby factory.
-They usually put me to bed before going to work.

Body 2-
-However, I could not sleep that night. I got up to have a snack in the kitchen.
-I saw the stove and remembered my mother cooking on it earlier.
-I decided to play with it.
-I fiddled with the switches on the stove.
-Soon after, I was bored with it and went to the living room to play.
-I saw a box of matches left on the coffee table.

Climax 1-
-I was playing with the matches when there was a sudden explosion!
-I had left the switch on and gas had leaked into the living room!
-The furniture caught fire and soon, it had become very hot in the flat.
-My eyes flew open in fear at the scene and I rushed to the door to escape.
-However, the gate was locked and I panicked.

Climax 2-
-I screamed, “ Help! I am trapped! Someone please help me! I don’t want to die!” A neighbour heard my screams and quickly called the fire brigade
-Neighbours rushed out of their houses with big pails of water to put out the fire.
-Someone came with a set of pliers and managed to break open the gate. A very relieved me came tumbling out of the flat.

Conclusion-
--In the meantime, a neighbour had called my parents to inform them about what had happened.
-By the time they came home, the firemen had already put out the fire. Tears rolled down my eyes as I confessed to my parents that I had caused the fire.

Ending(Coda) –
-It was a sleepless night for my family as we had to salvage our valuables from our flat before making a police report and making arrangements to stay with a relative.
-Indeed, fire is a good servant but a bad master.

Compo 6 (Glenn Chia)

It was a painful, valuable lesson indeed. It was a lesson about patience and not to take shortcuts. I could remember, the eerie screech of the car, the loud horn of the car, and everywhere seemed so very dark. I was unconscious……

“Tom! Do you know what time it is, you are going to be late!” shouted my mother, angrily. When I woke up, it was nine forty-five in the morning. “Gosh! It is just fifteen minutes to my tuition class!”

I rushed to the toilet and while washing up, I tried to get changed. Without having breakfast, I rushed out of the door and headed for my tuition centre.

“The tuition centre is just across,” I thought. “It is too troublesome to use the overhead bridge, I shall just run across when there are no vehicles.” Surprisingly, there were no cars at that instance. However, as I dashed across the road, I knew I was finished…… “Hooonk Hoooonk!” “Eeeeewwwweee!” “Bang!”

Everything turned black and white, my childhood memories flash across my eyes, and that was it, my mind went completely blank.

When I woke up, I did not even know I did…… I was blind. “Mom, Dad anyone? Then I heard a reply. “We are here son, we are here!” as I tried to get up, I felt a sharp pain down my waist. “Am, am I blind?” Then I heard a cry. “Ye…Ye…Yes.” The room was completely silent for a short moment. “What happened?” I asked. “You were knocked down by a car, why did you jaywalk, why? Luckily the driver who knocked you unconscious called the hospital in the nick of time,” replied Mother. I did nothing but cry. I found out that just a few additional seconds won’t kill, but subtracting it might. Though I found out about patience, I can never retrace my steps. Life has changed forever.

Compo 9 (Sean Pang)

Plink......Plink......!" The sound of a hammer smashing on metal woke me from my heavy slumber. Beats of sweat formed on my forehead and my hands grew clammy as my memory was jolted back to that nerve-wrecking incident.

"Plink......Plink......!" A smashing sound echoed around the corridors. I had just finished my table tennis training and was trudging home wearily. "What could that sound be?" I questioned myself. Soon curiosity got the better of me and I went to investigate the source of the sound. However, before I could reach the sound, the hammering stopped. Certainly I had heard the sound, or was it a figment of my imagination? After waiting for a while and upon hearing nothing, I continued my way back home.

"Mmm...... this sandwich surely is yummy!" I gushed buoyantly while engulging myself to a widespread of sandwiches. "Ouch! An ear-piercing cry coming from my neighbour's house broke the tranquility of the scene. Startled, I dropped the sandwich that I was munching. "Huh? I thought my neighbour went on a holiday?" I murmured under my breadth as a zillion thought raced through my mind.

I walked stealthily to my neighbour's house. At the corner of my eye, I espied a hammer and a broken lock. This was when everything struck me. To confirm my suspicion, I took a slight peek through the window. Tables and chairs were overturned and clothes were thrown on the floor. Finally, I spotted a burly man wearing cap with tattoos all over his body chuckling evilly as he stashed the crisp fresh notes into the canvas bag he was carrying. He was also limping. Upon seeing this, I dialed for the police with shaky hands and told them what had happened. Minutes ticked by slowly and my heartbeat increased with every passing minute.

Soon impatience overwhelmed me and I decided to catch the robber myself. I picked up a stick and started to move towards him when his attention was diverted to a huge gem. " Blam!" I tripped and fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Beside me lay an innocent looking broom lying on the floor. The sound made the robber turn and look at me. When he saw my presence, he yielded out a huge knife and approached me menacingly. The blade seemed to glisten with evil. My heart nearly missed a beat as I stood rooted to the ground, stunned. I shut my eyes tightly praying that the police appear at once. "It is okay now." I heard a gentle voice. When I opened my eyes, I saw two police officers escorting the robber to the police car. Before the car drove off, the man flashed me an evil smile so evil that it was carved in my memory so deeply that I would never forget.

Upon returning to reality, I shouted at my father, "Dad, can you stop the hammering! Not only it is preventing me from sleep, it is also driving me nuts!”

Composition 7 & 8

Composition 7

Paragraph 1 :"Slam!" The doors of an ambulance was tightly closed as the incessant wailing of the ambulance siren rang through my head. The ambulance raced to the nearby hospital as I was tormented by images that flooded my mind, reminding me of that recent accident. It all happened so fast! It happened like this ... ...

Paragraph 2 :"Pass the ball!" I joyfully shouted to my younger brother, Sam , and requested for the ball. My family was at the beach on a weekend and we were having so much fun! My parents were sitting underneath a tree, enjoying the cool shade while reading the newspapers while my brothers and I were playing "Monkey in the middle". Justin was the monkey as he was the oldest.

Paragraph 3 :We were playing happily until we heard a scream. "Aah! Aah! Someone help!: A lady's glass-shattering voice caused every one's attention to be turned onto her. We stopped our game and rushed over with our parents to take a look at the commotion that was going on. "Who is this inconsiderate lady that is creating all this ruckus?"
I muttered under my breath.Squeezing through the crowd, I saw many people gasping in horror while pointing out at sea, feat rooted on the ground, faces' as white as sheet, as though they had seen a ghost. Looking at where they were pointing, I saw a misty figure that I assumed to be a man struggling desperately in the clear blue waters. "Someone help him! There are sharks in the waters!" Someone had finally mustered out enough courage to say something.

Paragraph 4 :Just then, Justin came from inside the crowd and was elated to find me there. "There you are Jasper, we have been looking for you!" Justin whispered into my ear. As he looked up into the horizon, he saw what I had seen earlier on. Suddenly, someone popped out of nowhere and jumped into the sea to save the drowning man. The water sucked the life out of the drowning man as he took a breath. Minutes seem endless as the swimmer edged closer to the drowning man whose name was Tom. Once the swimmer reached Tom, the swimmer went under the sea and came back half a minute later, gasping for air. The swimmer went down again and came up holding seaweed. He brought Tom to the shore and an off-duty doctor did cardiopulmonaryresuscitation (CPR)OR
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on him. Tom was knocked unconscious because he had swallowed a dangerous amount of seawater. The doctor concluded that Tom's condition was stable.

Paragraph 5:Looking at my watch, I realised that ten minutes ago, I was still playing ball with Sam and Justin! This terrifying ordeal will be etched within my memory forever. It is certainly easier to remember than to forget ... ...

Composition 8

Paragraph 1 :"Clink, clink." The sound of the policemen sifting through the rummaged flat for evidence rang through my head as a posse of policemen cordoned off the area. The whole area was in complete chaos and madness as the thief was handcuffed. "He might have planted a bomb!" a woman shouted. On the outside, I looked calm. But on the inside, I was tormented by horrible images that flooded my mind. Pictures that helped the police by a big margin. On that fateful day, it just happened like this ... ...

Paragraph 2 : "Yes!School is finally over!"I muttered under my breath as I punched my fist into the air. As my house was just a stone's throw away from the school, it only took me a minute to walk back, let alone run! I decided to dash home as my mother had prepared my favourite food for me! "Aaaaa!" I screamed as I dashed at the speed of light towards my house. As I reached my house, I saw a suspicious figure walking along the second floor. He was pacing up and down as though he were to commit a crime! Soon, he walked silently towards Mr.Tan's house. Knowing clearly that Mr.Tan was away on a holiday, I sensed something amiss and decided to play the "investigator" for a day.

Paragraph 3 : I walked silently up the dark stairs to the second floor. By now, beads of perspiration formed on my forehead as I neared Mr.Tan's house. The door was slightly ajar and I saw a man wearing a mask. He resembled the person walking along the corridor! He had long hair and a wrench in his haversack. I immediately dialled 999.

Paragraph 4 :"Hello, Yishun Police Head Quarters,how may I help you?" a soothing voice calmed my inner fear by a little as I briefed them about the on-going situation. The operator informed me that they would disperse a posse of policemen down to the area to check. The moment I hung up, fear once again gripped me as I continued to watch the thief's every movement. Just as he was about to pick up a ming vase, a voice shattered the silence. "Come out! We've got you surrounded!" It was the police! I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I knew sooner or later i could be at home eating my favourite food. Knowing that his game was over, the thief slowly walked out of the flat. Upon seeing me, the thief brandished a nine milliliter handgun and took me hostage! I gasped in horror as I was staring down the barrel of a gun!

Paragraph 5 :"Tan Ah Hock, we know it's you! No point negotiating over the backs of innocent. If you kill that boy, your sentence will be life imprisonment! Give it up, you have nowhere to run!" the chief marshal boomed. Just then, the thief dropped his gun and raised both arms in the air. I gasped for air as I hoped that this ordeal would be over! Just then, a group of policemen appeared and handcuffed Tan Ah Hock. I took in deep breaths as I started to relive what had happened just minutes ago. Just then, my mother dashed towards me and hugged me tightly. "Oh darling! Thank goodness you're fine!" She said, tears streaming down her rosy red swollen cheeks.

Paragraph 6 :After taking my statement, the police gave me a token of appreciation, informing me that Singapore's most wanted criminal, Tan Ah Hock, was finally caught because of me! I learnt a valuable lesson:"Curiousity killed the cat". Who would have thought that being such an inquisitive boy could lead to so much trouble ... ...

My compo

“Ring!” the school bell rang and students dashed out of class after greeting the teacher. I was walking home. “Mom and Dad would be out today, I’ll have the house all by myself!” I exclaimed a I quicken my pace. As I walked through the familiar corridors to my house, I heard strange sound in my neighbour’s apartment. “Hmmm… I thought Mr and Mrs Tan were on a two week holiday. What could that noise be?” I thought aloud.
I crept to Mr Tan’s house. Looking at a broken lock, I slowly inch the door open. To my horror, a man was rummaging through drawers and a big safe box that was left open. The man had a big sack on his bag. I crept back and called the police. After alerting the police, I crept back into the house. Suddenly, the man gripped my shoulders. “Help! Help! Help!” I screamed. “Shut up! Or you will die!” I felt a metallic circle on my back. It could only mean one thing, a gun! “Don’t give me any trouble boy, I won’t hesitate to shoot. You will be my passport out of here. “You won’t escape! I’ve already called the police!” I retorted fearlessly. “The police won’t dare open fire or do anything if I have you as hostage.” When we entered the lift, the man pointed the gun at me. As the lift door opened, police officers saw me and back off. “Give me any trouble and the boy is a dead duck!” The burgular exclaimed.
He slowly walked to the nearest police car and drove off, leaving me in the back seat. “If I make him angry, he would make a mistake and I’ll snatch the gun.” “You won’t get away with this!” I yelled. “Oh yes, I would, once I go back to my hideout, I will dispose off you and any other evidence.
Once again, his eyes were fixed on the road. I slowly inched forward and out of a sudden, I punched him on the face. He dropped his gun and I quickly picked it up. “Stop the car or I’ll fire!” I shouted. The car halted and the police officers who had been tailing at the getaway car got out and chase the man. “You’ll never get me alive,” he said as he took out any gun and pointed it at his head and, “Bang! He fell to the ground. Blood oozed out from his leg. He had misfired. And they rushed the man to the hospital but it was too late.
Two police officers drove me home and explained to my parents, who were very worried about me, about the whole incident that had happened. My parents were very proud of me and they brought out to celebrate my safe return.
When Mr and Mrs Tan came back to Singapore, they thank me and offered me one thousand dollars. “Thanks a lot. Mr Tan!” I immediately bought an Apple iPad and a new iphone.
Since that incident, I had an ambition to become a police officer as I like to solve mysteries and arresting criminals. I would want to make the world a safer place to live in.

Compo 7 by Aaron Loh

"Would you care for a cold drink?" I asked while I fished out my money. "No thanks, I already have a bottle of water." Tim replied. Despite the scorching sun that seemed to bake the ground, Tim and I decided to go to the beach and play beach volleyball before going for a swim in the sea.

The beach was packed with holiday-goers, tourists and small children. The hub-bub of the crowd added to the cheerful atmosphere of the beach. Nobody seemed to be detered by the hot sun. I started gulping down the coke that I bought to quench my thirst. Throwing the bottle away, I decided to resume the game.

"Woosh!" Something big flew overhead and landed into the sea with a big splash! The crowd ceased in its animated chatter and looked to the sea to find out what was going on.

Suddenly, all the hell broke loose and people were running amok, pointing at the far end of the sea. We could make out the figure of a man who was desperately struggling in the water. One of his legs seemed to be injured as he had difficulty keeping himself afloat. Fear gripped me as beads of perspiration flowed down my cheeks. When I came back to my senses, I alerted Tim who was oblivious to the incident as he was lying down to rest. From afar, I spotted something bobbing up and down in the water. It was a toy helicopter! One of its sharp blades must have slashed the man's thigh. The situation started to seemed hopeless.

Fortunately, one of the muscular passer-by had no qualms about saving the man and immediately leapt into the water. He swam towards the man and dragged him towards the shore, where he started to perform Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation on the unconscious man. The injured man's thigh was soaked in blood and there was a nasty gash on it. The passers-by called the ambulance and soon enough, an ambulance van arrived with a few paramedics who transported the man onto a stretcher before escorting him to the hospital.

The heroic and lion-hearted deed of the courageous man did not go unnoticed. Not long after, he was swarmed by a group of swooning beauties. After all, he deserved the attention for what he had done earlier. As for the helicopter, no one knew who had caused the helicopter to splash into the sea. Tim was quite traumatised by the incident. I made a mental note to be more careful of any unidentified flying objects. Lady Luck smiled on us at that time. Who knows for sure what could have happened to us?

This incident would be forever etched in my memory.

Dear classmates of 5 Kindness,

Compo by Aaron Loh

"Oh no! I'm late for tuition again!" I exclaimed as I took a quick glance at the alarm clock. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the morning scene. I quickly put on some clothes and took a small bite out of a tuna sandwich that was lying on the table. I fumbled for the house keys before rushing out of the door.
The tuition center was located at Thompson Plaza, a crowded shopping mall that was just a stone's throw away from my house. I hastened my pace, walking to the zebra crossing that led to the mall. The traffic light flashed a "red man". I decided I could not wait any longer, ignoring the overhead bridge next to me. I took quick glances as I sped across the road, assuming that it was safe to pass. Unaware of a car that was speeding in my direction at a tremendous speed. I tried to dart out of the way but it was too late. The strong impact flung me high in the air and I landed with a sickening thud. The car screeched to a halt and the sound of the screaming brakes made me jump out of my skin. Beads of perspiration flowed down my cheeks.
Just then, I felt a warm trickle of blood down my face. Blood was oozing out of a gash from my forehead. I tried to stem the flow of blood by pressing my head over the gaping wound. A bright red liquid was forming a pool next to my head. The driver of the car immediately rushed out of the car and called the ambulance. due to the excruciating pain, I fainted clean away...
"Beep...Beep" the sound of the electrocardiograph ringing eased through my head. The smell of dettol assailed me. I found myself in a bed with a clean and bright room with a television mounted on the wall. The clinic was packed with patients flipping through magazines, watching television or taking a short nap. A nurse walked briskly into the ward. She greeted me perfunctorily and set about checking my temperature and dressing the wound on my forehead. Just then, my mother burst into the room and embraced me with a cries of relief. "Are you alright?" asked Mother, still trying to stifle sobs of relief as I nodded my head, my face drenched in tears.
This incident will be etched into my memory. I vowed to be more careful on the road and heeded my mother's advice.

Darren Heng's Composition

Whenever I come across an MRT station, I recall a terrifying incident that left me trembling for a long time.The details are still very vivid in my mind. Whenever I need to go somewhere, I would never take the MRT. I did not want the incident to happen to me ever again. The incident was horrifying and it was a close shave! The incident happened like this...

"R-I-N-G!" The school bell rang as the students rushed out of the school main gate frantically. I was one of them. I had just gotten my examination paper and I passed with flying colours! I beamed as I eagerly rushed to the nearby MRT to go home. I could not wait to tell my mother about this good news. Little I know that a disaster was going to happen to me.

When I reached the MRT station, there were a sea of faces there. the people were packed like sardines,lively and bustling. Suddenly an alarm sounded. then,an announcement was heard , telling everyone to evacuate at once. just then,a few MRT staff escorted us to the nearest emergency exit. Screams of horror penetrated the air. Peoples' blood froze and their face turned as white as sheet while the MRT staff tried to calm them down. Even the MRT staff were terrified, they did their jobs and escorted the people to the exit.

On my way to the emergency exit, I saw flames dancing in the air. The miniature inferno linked the walls as the roar grew louder and louder. The flame gave out a huge plume of smoke as it engulfed the area. Our eyes were smarting as we felt that our lungs were about to burst. "Help! I can't breathe!" I gasped in distress, between fists of coughing.

"W-A-I-L!" the fire brigade, their sirens blaring loudly, tore down the road towards the scene of the fire. Then, they sprang into action. In no time, they inserted the water hose into the fire hydrant and sprayed jets of water at the miniature inferno. The firemen battled furiously to save the burning MRT station.

After a while, the flame was put out. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief as the crowd dispersed. Luckily, no one was injured. Everyone thanked the firemen profusely. Then, everyone left as the sounds of sirens faded away.

From that day onwards, I never dared to enter a MRT station every again. I do not want the same incident to happen to me again. This incident was a close shave indeed.

(extracted from andrew's comment given to bryan)!!!hehehe

Hi guys may i know the hmwk?:]

“Please stand behind the yellow line,” a gentle voice at the speaker said. It was the sixth time I had heard this at Orchard MRT station. I cursed under my breath as I trembled under my heavy school bag, glancing at my watch form time to time.
I was slowly falling into slumber, and then the gentle voice from the public address system awakened me. “There has been an emergency and a suspected bomb threat. All commuters evacuate the vicinity now! Avoid using the lift if there is a fire!” Suddenly, a loud siren shattered my slumber into pieces. Paranoid commuters trampled up stairs like a herd of wild beasts. Some was trying to squeeze themselves into the sardine-pack elevators. Upon seeing this, I began to panic. I scrambled up the stairs, envisioning the scenario of the bomb explosion.
I jostled through the mass of people running for their lives. Nobody wanted to be trapped in the MRT station, and neither did I. What wrong had I done to be stuck in a crowd with bad breath, a body odor smelling like rancid milk and droplets of perspiration flying in my direction. At the end, I got out to safety with the guide of the guards on duty.
There was no way to get onto another MRT home, I headed to the nearest bus stop to take a bus home. I walked by an electrical shop where television sets were turned on to attract customers. I caught a glimpse of the news saying that the bomb scare was just a hoax to prepare the nation for emergencies.
At this moment, there was only one word to describe how I felt. Anger! “Sigh! Just my luck!” I thought as I boarded the bus home.
Rushing into my flat, I had a quick shower and sat on my chair. I finally understood that be prepared for emergencies is very important to our nation although it was not a pleasant experience.

(329 word) Liu Shuen Qi

Dear Friends,

This is my composition which Mr. Thomas asked me to post.. Happy reading :)

Whenever June watched news on bombings, she would remember an incident that happened years ago. Even though she wants to forget it, she cannot seem to. The incident almost cost her life. It all started like this…….
Colours danced across the expanse of the sky in dazzling red, orange and purple as the sun sank in the background. June was strolling toward Orchard MRT station while admiring the scene. She had just finished a day of shopping at Takashimaya. Commuters flooded the MRT station with empty stomachs, going home for a sumptuous dinner. June was squeezing her way to the nearest vacant bench. She managed to sit down before anyone else.
“Tick, tock, tick, tock…..” June heard a ticking sound under the seat. When she looked below, she saw a parcel. At that moment, an announcement was made, “Attention, passengers, please evacuates the station now! There is a bomb in the train!” June thought that the parcel could be a bomb. Children, women and men screamed and shouted. June turn as pale as a ghost and shrieked. She ran as fast as possible without looking back. Pandemonium struck and everyone headed desperately for the emergency exits as the bomb exploded. The evacuated crowd went berserk. Tormented cries of the victims filled the air. June felt a heavy impact which slammed her against the wall. What she saw was beyond her imagination, shattered glass, motionless bodies, injured people groaning in pain and paramedics attending to the injured, she could feel warm blood trickling down her forehead, after that she blacked out.
When she regained her consciousness, she saw her mother wiping her tears off her check. Her father was probably praying for her safety. “Ah, you have finally gained consciousness!” She turned her head to see a doctor smiling at her. “Your face was disfigured as we had to reform it.” The doctor took a mirror and showed her reflection. June was delighted, as this face was the face in her favourite sketch! Her family hugged her tightly. June felt a sharp pain and shouted, “Ouch!” “Whoops, I must have forgotten to tell you that she had fractured some of her bones.” the doctor said. June had to stay in the hospital for weeks before she recovered. She was told by her parents that it was a terrorist bombing which killed more than ten people and injured hundred.
Although this was nothing compared to the September 11th attack, this proves that we must fight against terrorism. So, everybody must play a part in Singapore’s fight against terrorism.

A robbery

"Bang!" The incessant sound of revolvers firing rang through the air as the police fought valiantly against a group of robbers. I stood there, feet rooted to the ground, scared stiff at the thought that I could die! As my life flashed before me, I was reminded of what happened a mere 10 minutes ago... ...

"Refreshing!" I said aloud, while devouring the ice-cream in my hands. I was a 12 year old, studying in Catholic High Primary School. I had a nice tanned skin, accompanied with a round face. I was living comfortably in Singapore, being richer than average. Never would I think that I would be involved in a robbery. On my way home, I decided to withdraw money from my father's bank account; hence I made a short detour to the bank. The bank was fully air-conditioned and it had very comfortable seats. Customers stood in a very neat line as I went to queue up for the ATM machine. As the queue shortened, a black car screeched to a halt at the entrance of the bank. At that exact moment, I felt a chill run down my spine, knowing something terrible was about to happen.

Two masked man came rushing out of the car. One of the men had a cap and pointed a revolver towards the line of customers. "Freeze! If you move, I will KILL you! Hands over your heads!" He shouted. We all put our hands over our heads, fearing for our lives. I was on tenterhooks as the revolver was pointed in my direction. Beads of perspiration formed on my forehead. The other robber had a big bag and threatened to kill the clerk if he did not put the money on the counter. He smiled menacingly as the money appeared on the counter. An evil laughter echoed throughout the bank, as the robbers thought their heist was about to pay off. Unknown to the robbers, the clerk had a plan to foil the robbers. As the clerk went to get the wads of cash, he pressed the panic button, causing an alarm to ring in the nearby police station.

"This is worse than hell! I thought. Two minutes feel like two hours! A police siren raised the alarm of the robbers. "Which one of you called the police? Who did it?" They demanded, as the police sirens grew louder. The robbers pointed their gun at the clerk and shot him in the leg as a warning,"This will serve as a warning to you. If you ever think that pressing the panic button will hell, think again!" With that , they fled.

As the robbers reached the entrance of the bank, two police cars appeared and screeched to a halt, forcing the robbers to retreat into the bank. A group of policemen jumped out of the police cars and pointed their guns at the robbers. "Freeze!" A policeman shouted. Refusing to give up, they went behind the counter, stepping on the injured clerk. They exchanged shots as we ducked for cover, fearing for our lives as one of the robbers was shot in the stomach. He fell down to the floor, toppling over the injured clerk, who was screaming in pain. Seconds later, the other robber fell to the ground after being shot in the hand.

A group of policemen came into the bank. One of them called us to stand up as the others pointed their guns towards the injured robbers who were still moving. Te other policemen stood outside, guns ready to fire, in case the robbers were faking injury. They quickly assured that the robbers were injured. They called for an ambulance and brought us to the police station to take our statements. A policeman called my parents and told them to come to the police station to bring me home. The policeman also explained what happened. I felt a huge weight has be lifted off my shoulders as the robbers were arrested.

After taking my statement, my parents dashed into the room. My parents were on cloud nine to see me alive and not injured in any sort. When they hugged me, I felt a sense of warmth and heaved a sigh of relief. I will never forget this day, March 5th. This robbery will be etched in my mind forever.

The Best Holiday Ever

This

holiday trip to Japan was the BEST because we went to many places like the ninja museum, the golden pavillion and the Shogun's castle. The Shogun's castle is really cool because the floor squeaks when you step on them. Thats why they call it the nightingale floor. This floor is built that way so that when an assasin came to assasinate th Shogun, they will be warned by the squeaking noises of the floor. The golden pavillion is like a golden villa. it is HUGE and it is all golden i thought it was only for reference but i was wrong. It was actually for the Shoguns to stay. Next is the ninja museum here are some real pictures.That is a picture of a shuriken(left) it is a throwing device for the ninja's to use. Next is the kunai ( right) this is also a throwing device but it also ca be used for close combat, digging holes and cutting ropes. The picture on the top right is the ninja sword.I bet all of you know what it is for so i wont explain. On the top is the senbon. It is like needles, it is sharp at both ends and are uasually dipped in poison or in sleeping powder. Next is the smoke grenade(Top Left) it is used for covering the ninja at desperate times like when he is surrounded, he will throw a few smoke bombs at the enemy or in front of him to hide them. Did you know that framented wolf dung is used to make smoke bombs? they only use framented wolf dung cause it will fly straight up into the sky instead of bending. That is where you can get the thick and foul smelling smoke around you.
