One Word Essay - Money
Money makes the world go round. Who can survive without money? Although money cannot buy us everything, But without it we cannot live in peace in the cities.
With money, you have power in your hands. Bribery, for instance, can be use for personal gains. You can pay other to 'bully' poorer people, thus the others will fear you. Richer people tend to feel more accomplish in life as many people's goal in life is to make money and be rich. Thus, when you hear the word 'rich', you will most likely thing of high ranking jobs in company. They also can buy land and own a part of the country, which has more authority and respect in other country.
Many crimes committed are related to money issues. Robbers rob for the sake of money as they may be lack of money to help them. Other criminals take a bigger risk by kidnapping and usually demand a huge sum of money being releasing the hostages. Shop-lifters and theives steal items when they might not be able to afford it, or innocent teenagers seeking thrills by stealing.
Natural disasters destroys home and buildings, money will be needed to buy basic needs for the vistim and materials to build the houses. Like in China, the Sichun earthquake requires lots of help. Singaporean donated items and money over to help them to buy clothing and food. Fund raising were held to raise the money for the victims in Sichun. Materials also need money to buy for the victim to rebuild their home.
Therefore, money is essential for each and everyone of us. Although money cannot buy us everything we want, we still cannot part away from it totally.

Favourite author - J. K. Rowling
When I first saw this task, what my mind went was -
"DIE! How am I suppose to know who is my favourite author? I read books without even knowing who wrote them! There won't be this problem if the question was on favourite artist or comic drawer/writer!"
I came to this conclusion that I only know J. K. Rowling books from the famous Harry Potter series. Well, here goes my post.
Okay, 5 interesting facts on J. K. Rowling.
1) Her real name is Joanne Rowling.
2) She has no middle name, but the "K." is for Kathleen as the second initial of her pseudonym, from her paternal grandmother since she was requested to have 2 initials.
3)
She is the first person to become a U.S.-dollar billionaire by writing books.
4) She was diagnosed with clinical depression, and contemplated suicide around the period in December 1994.
5) Her Harry Potter series
books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, and sold nearly 400 million copies.
Her books are known worldwide and made into films. Her books are written in a series which makes readers wanting to know more and thus going on to the next book. She is probably one of the few (maybe the only) author that makes me take note who wrote that book.

T2W12 Flag raising ceremony
"On time is late."
Mr Soon once said that and we cannot attend flag raising ceremony
on the dot. We have to be
discreet with the timing to get to the parade square and line up or else we will be
quarry by the teachers for our awaited punishment. If we happen to missed our timing
slovenly to leave the class for parade square, we have to rush down quickly.
This is to avoid a
somber afternoon in detention.

She
usurp the report writing from my hand, read it and tore it. "This report is

trivial? Redo it, too
ambiguous!" she screamed right into my face. I stomped out of the room,
rabid.
