A Moment Spent Alone Doing Something I Enjoyed

     Nowadays, life is much busier because of the upcoming Singapore Youth Festival and Continual Assesment One. Balancing the time for practising with my instrument and the time for school work is difficult, yet somehow i can manage it. However, because of how time consuming it is to do school work and practise playing my instrument for the Singapore Youth Festival, I barely have enough time to breathe!
     Today, I looked for my bed straight away once i reached home. I was so tired! There was a final band practise for the video of the marching of the band which we are taking tomorrow. It was raining during the  afternoon, so we started late.   

     Unfortunately the rain continued after the band trained for about a hour, well it was actually lucky for me since I did not have to march due to the nature of my instrument and I was getting bored of looking at the rest march. Still, I reached home quite late, but I was happy as it is the last school day of the week!

      As Chinese New Year is coming, my mother was constantly reminding me to tidy up my things, throw or give away things I do not need, buy some new clothes, and many other things. So I decided to clean up my stuff a little.

     It was nearly bed time and I was nearly finished with my cleaning up. I only had a box of things left I had to throw. But, I opened it to make sure that no important stuff was put inside accidentally. It was then I saw a old book I used to read. I took out the book and checked the rest of the box, nothing important was inside, so i threw the box. I looked at the book I took out, and decided to read it.

     The book I read was very simple and easy to read, but I loved it since it reminds me of the time in my Primary School. this book was actually given to me by one of my teachers. I only remembered her when I was halfway through the book.

    Together with some friends, I joined the 'reading buddy programme' to help those in lower primary who are not good with english to improve their reading and communicating skills. I read the book again and think about my primary school, I really miss it and want to go back, but I am in another school now, and I have to continue moving forward. The book serves as a memory of my primary school so I kept it in a place I keep most of my important stuff in. I really enjoyed the book and what it reminds me of, but it is getting late, I took it out to read it for the last time before I go to sleep.
