Draft 2 - Singapore Flyer
The three-storey is constructed around the Singapore Flyer. I hardly saw the shop houses were opened, most probably due to the timing we went there which was too early. There are plenty of artificial trees planted around the middle of the basement floor to decorate the place, which in turns make the place looks more “greener” .There is a place for security check before entering the capsule to ensure no dangerous weapons were brought aboard. I finally managed to board the Singapore Flyer finally. It was the moment when the wheel turned to the mid-ways. I stared in wonderment. Marina barrage, Merlion Park and New Bridge were examples of places of interest that can be seen up in the Singapore Flyer. I could hardly believe my eyes; I managed to capture the view of Singapore from bird’s eye view.
The moment when I reached aboard the capsule of Singapore Flyer, I could felt the inertia of the capsule .In this case, physics was applied as I walked in the opposite direction of the capsule .The strong current of force opposed me when I was going in. When I looked around, I saw the big diameter of the wheel which could be calculated. The time taken for one spin to complete could be tabulated. The superb engineering feat of this magnificent structure would have plenty of time and manpower to build it. My expectations were met as it was a suitable outdoor classroom for conducing lesson which related to a lot of subjects.
During the ride in the capsule, some of the students were supposed to take a good watch at timing of the stopwatch which is used to time the time needed for one full turn of the wheel. Everyone started to become mischievous and put their worksheet and stopwatch away. Then, one by one, students rushed to the corners and took out either their cell phones or their digital cameras and started snapping photos. There was cacophony of students’ cheer that they managed to see a wide view of Singapore. The teacher-in-charge even also took photo of herself.
I felt the trip was exhilarating .Instead of using old classroom for teaching, places of interest could also be used for teaching purposes. The outdoor classroom provided student more knowledge that is probably beyond the capability of teacher to teach. There is no doubt that I strongly recommend it to others.

The Flight Experiences
The three-storey mall was constructed around the Singapore Flyer .I could hardly see the shop houses were opened, most probably due to the timing we went there which was too early. Artificial trees were planted around the mid of the basement floor to decorate the place, which in turns make the place looks more” greener”. There was a place for security check before entering the capsule to ensure no dangerous weapons were bought aboard. I managed to board the Singapore Flyer finally. It was the moment when the wheel turned to the mid-ways. I stared in wonderment. I could hardly believe, I managed to capture the view of Singapore from bird’s eye view.

At the end, I felt the trip was exhilarating. Instead of using old classroom for teaching, places of interest could also be use for teaching purposes. The outdoor classroom would provide student more knowledge that is probably beyond the capability of teacher to teach. There is no doubt that I would recommend it to others.

Jeub asked his mother politely, looking into her eyes with curiosity “Mummy, why you always looked gloomy?”
“You would not know,” heaving a sigh of hopelessness, she added, “life is not getting any better”
“And why is that so mummy?” Jeub questioned back his mum with curiosity filled up his mind.
“I have been finding for a single job high and low but not a single soul has employed me!”His mother replied frustratedly, slamming her fist on the table.

Draft 1 -Historical Narrative
The breeze of the wind, chirping of the bird, sounds of waves washing against the shores. Such calmness within the country itself was long time never to be seen. The old crumpled wrinkles, cracked dry lips, and the smile which was longed seen. The sound of the old rocking chair could be heard away from the house. Jeub, who is at his sixties, his hatred had been washed away as time goes by. He could vividly remember the number of Tamil who survived the civil war.
