I joined table tennis because the teacher said that I could represent the school to go for a competition if I played well.

When I was in Primary 4, I could have the chance to go for inter-school competition. I had to ask my mother whether I could go because I needed to travel to another state of my country, Malaysia. "Mom, can I join the competition for table tennis that I will need to travel to Kedah?" I said, with a glimpse of hope. "Sorry,girl. I cannot let you go because you are too young. If you go by yourself with your friend and your coach it be very dangerous and your family is not around you!" "If you are lost we are not going to find where are you and you will not with us anymore," my dad said in awful sarcasm. I darted out of the living room and went to my own bedroom and started to cry.

During the school holidays, I was very bored. All I just did was to rest. It was fatally easy to fall in love with my cosy bed, and a phone in my hand. So my family decided to go for a trip to Penang, Malaysia. I was so happy as I could finally travel out of Singapore even though it was a short trip but it still could be fun.
The night before our trip, I packed my luggage and went to sleep .
On the day of the trip we hopped into the car, eagerly ready to head off .When my father started the car ,we closed our doors. But an unfortunate thing happened. The car's accelerator was not working and the car didn't manage to move! My father turned the engine off and tried again but it still didn't work. At this juncture, I knew better than to nag, or else we could not even go. My brother suggested to take the bus but we had a lot of things to take and it was troublesome.
I dragged my brother out of the car and gave him a proper talking to, so he would not keep muttering under his breath. I said in a dangerous quiet voice to warn him not to make our dad angry.

When I was in Primary 5.The school has planned a Johor trip for the P5's to learn batik painting and Malay culture over there.I was so excited when I heard that we are able to have a chance to go out of Singapore.But before we are able to participate in the trip,we need to let our parents give their consent first,so I bring the form home for my mother's consent.When I reach home,I gave the form to my mother to let her sign it.When she saw that the trip includes going out of Singapore,she immediately dis allowed me to participate.She said it is because she thinks that I am not discipline enough to go out of country myself and to take care of my own passport my self.When I heard what she said,I was simmering in anger,thinking that she is being unreasonable and she does not have any trust on me for taking care of my passport.So I shouted at my mother for being so unfair and I locked myself in my own bedroom.My mother was mad ofcourse,but she told me at the door that she did not allow me to go to the trip is because she do not want me to encounter danger when i go there as she want me to be safe and as she she knows me very well,she know that I may be careless sometimes,so she do not want accidents to happen,that is why she did not allow me to go for the trip.It is not because she do not trust me  or anything.After I listened to what she explained,I think that what she said is true and actually makes sense.So I opened the door and apologised to my mother for being mean to her by shouting at her and being so agressive just because she do not allow me to go for the trip.

Once there was when i need to give out of something which is very hard and tough.  The story starts with ...

The summer is here and basketball is a must play for this season. Being excited for this sport, i asked my mother with a pitiful face and said, " mum, could you please buy a basketball for me! I will be well behaved!
Mum said " You thin you have been studying enough to get a AL1 you still want to play basketball, use that extra time to study more!"
hearing the rejection of my mother i planed to try again with a different plan. My plan is to clean the house and do all my homework and cook a love breakfast for my mother. This will let her have a good impression of me and buy a basketball for me ! After planing i get to work quickly first finishing my homework is not a big deal for me, very soon i had finished. The house cleaning is my best work to do. Finishing  quickly i quickly go make my mother favour pancakes with  her with whipped cream. Having the feel of rejection, i stepped into her room and served the food Finishing half plate i asked again. " mum could you please buy me a basketball!" I keep on repeating and my mother grounded me for 1 day and i cried in my room and kick my bed with anger and thought to myself i should not have nagged so much now i am grounded and don't have my basketball and i had finished the house work what a unfair  deal
