Days ahead.

Can I predict the future? Sure I can! And I will tell you what is going to happen!

After this week, we will have something only Hwa Chong has. That is none other than sabbatical week! Isn't it exciting?! Its the BEST time to take a break from all studies(not really actually...) and enjoy what you will be attending in that week.

After that, we will have Teachers' Day! On 31st August, we will be thanking every teacher who has taught all of us and I hope you will do it sincerely like how I will. On the special day itself, it will be a school holiday and its time for the teachers to take their breaks.

The one week September holiday comes ... and goes...

The next big thing then will be the DOOM of all students including me. THE END-OF-YEAR examinations!

When the EOYs are gone, it will be like a beach walk from there. Having class outing, parties and going out with friend. Now, doesn't that sound SOOO good?

I'm good right? With all the predicting of the future?

No?Everyone knows that? IMPOSSIBLE! oh wait. "Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE"

Well then.

BYEE~

Work in Progress!

Book Two - Tales of Mystery and Terror

Title: Tales of Mystery and Terror
Author: Edgar Allan Poe

This book is a is a combination of stories written by Edgar Allan Poe. As the title of the book has said, these stories are mainly classified as horror. In total, there are thirteen stories in this book. However, for today, I will only be telling you about one of the stories, “The Pit and the Pendulum”.

The narrator started the story by saying that he was sentenced to death. When he received the news, he swooned and went unconscious. When he wakes up, he found himself to be in a dark enclosure. He then thought that he was in a tomb but soon, he thinks that he might be trapped in a cave at some deserted place. He tried to see how many steps it takes to walk round the perimeter of this enclosure. Thus, he took a piece of ham, stick it the wall, and started walking.

Suddenly, he fell into a hole and he slept there. When he woke up, he found offerings of food and bread. He eagerly consumes them and went on the explore the place he was in. From here, the story gets more interesting as more unusual things happen. What happens in the end? That's for you to find out, and for me to know!

Do borrow or buy a this book as the stories are pretty interesting and you can also know the end of "The Pit and the Pendulum".
