Thought I should re-write my essay on my favourite food. Cause now, I’ve got a better idea on what my favourite food is.
Favourite food
Anything is fine. My favourite food is anything that I can eat happily with my family, and my friends. As long as I can eat with them happily, anything and everything is my favourite food. But there is some food that I prefer more.
Steamboat
Before I realized, steamboat becomes one of my favourite food. There are many types of steamboat to choose from, but it doesn’t matters. As long as my loved ones like it, it’s fine. It doesn’t matter much for me, since I eat anything. I love eating steamboat at home. Everyone prepares the ingredients together, everyone being excited about it and everyone joking and laughing together. Then everyone surrounds the dining table, some standing and some sitting. Everyone chats and eat together. Everyone with a smile on their face, that’s the best ingredient ever. Seeing everyone’s smile, then everything will become extremely delicious.
Even though at home, we only eat steamboats on special occasions, but its fine isn’t it? Since there will be lots of people at my place on special occasions. And when we eat it together, everyone will have a smile on their face, so even if the ingredients are not good it’s fine.
Therefore, my favourite food is anything. As long as there’s a smile on everyone’s face when we eat it.
Favorite Food
Food is something that I enjoy most. I tend to eat when I’m happy, when I’m sad, when I’m bored and even when I’m studying. I eat to keep my mouth moving to stay myself awake. Do you know, whenever I have to answer my friends about my favorite food, I can never thought of any. There’s just too much food that I like! It’s hard to choose among them. But now, if anyone was to ask me what my favorite food is, I’ll be able to tell them! My favorite food is Steamboat!
For steamboat, there are many types of soups available. For example, tom yam soup, chicken soup, herbal soup, peanut soup and more. I personally like the herbal soup and chicken soup. Herbal soup is tasty and it’s good for health. Other then herbal soup and chicken soup, tom yam soup is one good choice too. Tom yam soup is the best choice during rainy season. When the weather is cold, the spiciness of the tom yam soup helps to warm my body down. But since I don’t really eat spicy food, I tend to not eat it.
A steamboat comes with many different ingredients. Ingredients included vegetables like cabbage, carrot, sweet corn and more. Meats also include pork meat especially the part without any fats. Even though it’s quite tough to eat, but it really taste good. Pork intestine and pork organs are also included in the choice of ingredients. But I personally do not like them; hence I don’t really eat them even when available. Poultry includes chicken which some people use it to boil the chicken soup. Duck meat is also a choice of ingredients but usually I eat it as side dish. The most important ingredient of steamboat! The seafood! There’s a wide variety of type of seafood. This includes prawns, crab stick, fish, fish ball, cockles, sea cucumber, and abalone, crab meat.
Usually, I’ll be eating steamboat at home. Especially on special days like Chinese New Year, Birthdays and other festivals. I used to go to Ang Mo Kio to eat steamboat buffet. You can eat as much as you want, and the ingredients are fresh and tasty. But it has moved, and I’m not sure of the new location.
Dear Madam Tan,
Hello! Jessie here! I really missed you a lot! It has been quite a long while since we last met. So, how are you lately? Did students from your current school bully you?
Well… this year is my last year in Kent Ridge, I felt elated and also sad. Elated was because it’s the last year of my secondary school life. After this year, I can actually relax a little bit. It’s like I can relax and not be that stressed up anymore. It’s reasonable right? This is my “O” levels year, all the hopes from my family, my teachers and also my own, lies on my shoulders. It actually let me feel stressed but it’s also the way to motivate me. Apart from that, I feel sad too. Kent Ridge is a school that accompanied me for four years including this year. Four years of companion, Kent Ridge and I had developed a close relationship that makes me unbearable to leave.
Let’s talk about the changes in my school life since school re-opened. Friends of mine used to tell me how scared and afraid they are when they thought about “0” levels. But to me, I’m not that afraid of “O” levels. I felt more excited than scared. Actually, I felt that we should not think about the negative side of “O” levels, like unable to meet our targets, fail the examinations, etc. I feel that by thinking negatively, it does not help us but only giving us stress that is unnecessary. We should think positively or even not to think about the results. Think about the process! The process of studying together with friends, working hard together… It’s fun!
Actually, my school life does not have much change. The only difference is that we had extra lessons almost everyday. Even though I will grumble about how tiring it was to have lessons after a day of normal lesson, I’m really glad to have them. I know myself well, I’m easily distracted. So, by having extra lessons, I can actually study and learn more. If I have to go home and study by my self, I can never concentrate due to the temptation of my computer, my television and even my bed! So, I think it really benefits me to have extra lessons. Let me tell you a secret! Actually, I love extra lessons! I like tuitions. But I never had the chance to go for tuition. I meant those private tuitions. I used to envy my friends who attend private tuitions and I also kind of scolded them for saying how useless private tuitions are! You know, telling someone who wished to have private tuitions, how useless the tuition is, I really feel like strangling them. They had the chance to go for tuitions which I wished to but I didn’t have the chance. It makes me really sad upon hearing those talking bad about it. I will rather they do not tell me anything about it. But it doesn’t really matters now. Because having extra lessons is about the same as having tuition! It’s almost the same as my wish of having tuition had considered came true.
I think I’ll stop here for this letter. Really do hope to hear from you soon. Hope you’ll reply! Take care of yourself and all the best for your teaching career! BYE!!Your sincerely; with lots of love,
Jessie!
P.S. Remember? From Kent Ridge!! XD
It's already the fourth year I'm in Kent Ridge. Yes, I'm now a Secondary Four student. As "O" levels drew nearer, the amount of stress I'm getting compared to the past tremendously increased. At this point of time, I started to miss the life I had in Secondary One. I can still remember clearly, my first day of school...It was my first day of school in Kent Ridge, in the year 2005. I had completed my six years of primary school life and now i was being promoted to secondary one express. School started with speeches from the principal and also from some other teachers. The speech was so long that I had nearly fallen asleep. After all the speeches had ended, we were brought back to our class, 1E5 which was at level one.
Everyone in the class was totally unfamiliar to me. I was left all alone as none of my classmates here came from my primary school. One of the reasons why my primary school friends didn't want to come to Kent Ridge was because Kent Ridge was too far away from their house. So being alone without knowing anyone, i kept really quiet and didn't even smile much. Teachers came into the class and we were told that they would be our class form teachers. Then, we were made to introduce ourselves to our classmates and everyone did it before the teachers carried on.
Soon, the councilors came into the class and started with the ice breaking games. I couldn't really remember what were the games we played, but i do remember one game "blow-wind-blow". All the games were interesting and fun. I really did enjoy them, and got some ideas of some of my classmates.
After half of the day was gone, it was finally recess, the period which all the students including me likes. But at that moment, i really did not like it. Recess on the first day of school meant that i would be all alone. But never mind. I was at the canteen which is located at level three. I bought a bun and a cup of drink for myself and settle down at a table in the canteen. Just when i felt upset about not having any friends, two of my classmates approached me, wanting to make friends with me. I was really glad that there were actually people who would like to be my friends. The both of them should consider my first two friends in Kent Ridge.
Half an hour passed, recess was over. Everyone returned to their class, and the councilors came in again. We were brought on a tour around the school to get the idea or even know where different rooms were located. I wasn't really listening to what the councilors were saying as i was so excited to know the different places around the school.
After touring all the places, we continued to enjoy and have fun! And soon, the day was over. This was what happened on my first day of school. I was indeed fun but it's quite tiring too.
Till now, whenever i thought about my first day in Kent Ridge, I will always tell myself that it's a good start for my secondary school life. =D
