My Favourite Food
Food is something that every living things eat which can fill our empty stomachs and to give us energy so that we can carry on with our lives.
Now, I would like to introduce to you my favorite food, Rojak. There are many different types of Rojak around the world which are Malay Rojak, Indian Rojak, Penang Rojak and many more. However, the one I like best is Singapore Rojak.
Rojak is derived from a Malay Salad dish of mixed vegetables and fruits, and the term is used locally to describe mixture and variety. This can also symbolize the mixture of different cultures in Singapore, as we are a country with different races.
This food item can be found easily in Singapore as it is famous Singapore food cuisine. It is made from different ingredients such as Chinese Dough Sticks (commonly known as ‘you tiao’), Fried tofu skin (commonly known as ‘tau pok’), turnip, cucumber and many more. It is usually being stirred together with a sweet black sauce, and it tastes really good!
The vendor will usually fry or toast the dough sticks and tofu skin which will make it to be really crispy. Then, he will stir everything together with the sauce and it is ready to be served.
As people nowadays prefer healthy food, you can also choose to eat Fruit Rojak where different types of fruits are being stirred together with the sauce. Thus, you don’t need to worry if you will put on weight. So why wait? Better grab it now and you will never regret!

Write about your first day of school in Sec 1 2005.
It was the start of my secondary school life and I was really excited about it. On the first day of school, we were to report to the school hall and that was the first time I met my fellow classmates. Those were faces that I had never seen before, and that was the time when I really hoped that there will be familiar faces around me. Although I were really scared and afraid, I hoped that I would be able to make new friends.
When we were walking into the hall, the principal, teachers and seniors welcomed us warmly, and that really made me feel at home. The then-principal, Ms Chamb, gave speech and she also introduced the teachers to us. After the morning assembly, my form teacher, Ms Heng brought us back to our classroom. She introduced herself to us, and told us about her past experiences. She also told us interesting facts that we did not know, and that really made me feel that her lessons would be fun and interesting.
After the lessons, we went for recess and that was when I made my first friend in the secondary school, Sherlyn. We chat about everything which is under the sun, and that made us know each other better.
When the recess was over, the friendly student councilors brought us around the school for a tour. They told us the locations of the different rooms. We were to proceed to the hall after the school tour and we played ice-breakers. Our class formed a circle and played games such as “whacko”, “concentration” and “blow wind blow”. Those games really made our class more united and enthusiastic. We also get to know our new classmates better.
The councilors also taught us mass dance patiently although the dance steps were quite complicated. After a few hours of dancing, we were dismissed from school.
Through the whole day, I learnt a lot and that really made the day worthwhile and memorable although it could be quite tiring. There were also times where the class laughed together and helped each other when we were in need. From what I see, everyone was of different character and there were times when we need to give in to each other. Thus, I ended off my day happily.

Letter to Mrs Sim
Dear Mrs Sim,
It has been a long time since we last saw each other and I have quite a number of things that I would like to share with you.
It has been two months since I started as a Secondary Four student. Time flies and I still remember myself as a Secondary One student. At that point of time, I always thought that there was still a very long journey ahead before Secondary Four life.
I feel that there are a lot of things that have changed as compared to the previous years in Kent Ridge Secondary School. We are able to sit in the gallery during assembly, and that’s what we had always been looking forward to since Secondary One. We are also required to change the collar pins to iron-on badges, as they are afraid that we will forget to put on our collar pins. The walls around the school have also been repainted and seem more colourful as compared to the other years, as there is a different colour for each block.
There has also been a change of teachers, and we need to make certain adjustments due to different teaching styles. We are also fortunate to have many experienced teachers to teach us different subjects and guide us along. This year, the teachers are stricter with us, and they have a higher expectation of us in terms of attitude. They felt that we should settle down to be more serious rather than fooling around in class, as we are taking our ‘O’ levels this year.
Remedials are also a must for us almost everyday. Although it can be tiring at times, I think that it is worth it and we will surely benefit through this. We are also able to learn more and to get prepared for ‘O’ levels.
There are also more leadership responsibilities which are required of us. We have a much more important role in CCA as compared to last year because, we as seniors, need to impart our skills to the juniors.
Although there are many changes in 2008, I still feel that we should work hard and strike towards our goal. Lastly, I hope that you will be able to succeed in your career, and most importantly, take good care of yourself!
Yours Sincerely,
Lin Xiuhui
