I used to wonder  if this statement was true. Everyday, people work hard to earn money. They sacrifice their health, time and energy to earn money to buy the most expensive handbag, to pay for expensive meals and even to go on expensive holidays, but are all these worth it? Sometimes, the best things in life are free. Joy is something that cannot be bought, relationships are something that cannot be forced and time is something so precious that cannot be bought with money. Through different occasions,  I have gradually understood the meaning of the phrase "the best things in life are free".  ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059566 originalnadidoo https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059657 I looked upon the majestic view of various shades of red, yellow and pink in front of me. The smell of fresh air with a touch of brine intoxicated me. It was followed by an aroma of barbequed chicken wings that made my stomach rumble. A flock of black figures flew by, cawing. The clinking of champagne glasses and enthusiastic chatters  words of congrats brightened the atmosphere. This was going to be an eventful evening.]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059657 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059664 Singapore is well known as a "Garden City" and is a multiracial society. Many Singaporeans interact with different ethnicities, races and religions at common spaces. Whenever tourists come to Singapore, they feel welcomed and accepted by Singaporeans. Though Singapore's weather could be hot and humid tourists are still attracted to our country due to the kindness of Singaporeans, the safety of the country and the well-diverse food paradise provided. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059664 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059668 To my family, my grandmother is the glue that fills up the gaps we have in our life. My last good memory with her was that last family occasion our whole family had celebrated with her. Ever since then, we never had one again. My only wish is that my grandmother would be able to yet once again bring everyone back together just like that last important family occasion we had that I hold so close to my heart. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059668 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059716 Singapore has recorded a total of three million tourists in 2020, ranking 55th in the world. There are various features that led to Singapore becoming so popular in the present. Such include having green lush spaces, having a multi-racial society, vibrant environment and lifestyle scene, as well as its well-liked global and local food paradise. What are you waiting for if you have not visited Singapore?]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059716 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059731 Q4) “ Money can’t buy happiness” is an adage that some people live by and others ignore. The saying means that true happiness comes from within, such as happy memories spent with loved ones, or friendships, not from possessions that can be bought. These things will indeed last forever compared to physical items, and are indeed worth more. We just need to learn to appreciate everything around us, from the little action of someone offering you their seat, to a word of commendation by a friend when you have done well. 
Often, more than once I have realised this statement to be true to me, such as when I spend time with my family, and when my friends grace me with their presences. Just being in the company of the poeple i love gives me the utmost happiness and joy, that no gift or product could give.]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059731 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059741 In life, we receive so many gifts on occassions such as Christmas and our birthdays. Many of these gifts are things we always wanted, like a new pencil case or new book. But are these gifts really what makes life meaningful? I think that what makes life worth living are our family and friends, and the memories that we create together. These things are priceless, and no amount of money can ever be worth these memories. Objects break or wear out and are eventually thrown away, but the right people and memories are what stays forever. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059741 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059905 Many people believe that the best things in life require an arm and a leg, but I beg to contradict this. The best things in life are already present around us, we just need to open our eyes, and slow down our pace of life to discover them. Often, there are many occasions where I found the opinion that the best things in life are free true. For example, when I spend time with my family, when I form new friendships, and many more and I am grateful for the opportunity to discover these best things.]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059905 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059940 There is a saying that goes: “Money can’t buy happiness”. Many people find this statement to be untrue, as they find that with money, they can buy whatever they desire, making them satisfied. However, these people overlook the things they have around them which can bring great joy to them. Often, I find that saying ti be true, as the best things in life are free. Some examples are our families, friends and acts of kindness.]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304059940 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060063 “Money cannot buy happiness”. This is a statement that I agree with whole-heartedly. Even though money is a societal want and need, the best things in life are ultimately free and do not need money to be obtained. Money cannot buy us joy, which comes from the most important things in life like family, friends, and rewarding experiences. These things are the most important things in my life.]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060063 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060072 Coco Channel once said: "The best things in life are free. The second best things are very, very expensive." For long people have associated happiness with luxury. That is why it may be surprising to know that a woman of such high status and class as Coco Chanel doesn't determine the worth of things based on their monetary value. However, I find myself agreeing with her as I enjoy most of the things that does not have a price tag. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060072 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060097 “What do you want to become in the future?” Upon hearing this common question in class, most children would shout out occupations in class such as “Astronauts! Teachers! Doctors!”. However, these occupations never appealed to me. When asked this question, I would give the same response every time, I never really focused on what I wanted to be in the future, but more of who I wanted to be like in the future, and I was always certain on that. Who I wanted to be like in the future? That’s easy. I wanted to be like the person who has impacted my life the most and instilled a positive influence to not only my life but others as well. I wanted to be just like my dad. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060097 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060115 Family members gathered around the dinner table, chatting animatedly. the fragrant aroma of Nasi Lemak and rendang spread around the table. Big golden letters which read 'Happy 80th birthday grandpa' was placed at the front of the living room. This event is something that will always remain in my memory. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060115 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060141 When the country “Singapore” is mentioned, does the phrase “little red dot” come to mind? Indeed, Singapore is a small island with an area of only 730km². Despite her size, Singapore has many unique features such as her multiracial society, top level security and her outstanding education system. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060141 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060166 Did you know that the centrepiece of Jewel, also known as the Rain Vortex, is the world's tallest indoor waterfall? That is just one of the many features of Singapore that is a major tourist attraction for people across the globe. Singapore's citizens also play a major role in featuring Singapore as tourist attraction. In this essay, I will be focusing on three main features of Singapore and its citizens, which are the top sights in Singapore, the friendly attitudes of locals and the wide variety of food, which attracts and appeals to people from all over the world. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060166 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060218 Multiracial Singapore has become the 5th most visited city in the world, 2nd in Asia Pacific, based on the Mastercard Global Destination Cities Index. Clearly, Singapore is a really popular and well-liked country in the world, which is really something only few could achieve. From my perspective, Singapore deserves its place of being a major tourist attraction simply because of the vast amount of green environment, the astonishing Low crime rates and the supportive community that Singapore possesses.  ]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060218 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060262 Money. Almost everything in this world requires money. Even going to the park for a picnic, requires transportation fee and money for the food. For one to do what they enjoy, money is required. Other than the air and nature that are free, nothing else is. Even so the trees and greenery that we see are also maintained by the taxes that we pay the government. So what exactly can we get for free? Will I still be happy without money?]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060262 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060373 After two years of not being able to gather with our relatives and friends, I could finally meet up with my relatives. I was filled with excitement after hearing from my mother that we were going to hold a barbeque session to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. On the day of the barbeque session, I rushed to the site where it was being held as I was already running late. The moment I stepped in, I saw smoke rising and smelled the aroma of barbequed chicken. Hearing the sizzling sound from the barbeque pit made my stomach grumble, as I was ready to enjoy this long-awaited event.]]> 2022-09-20 02:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060373 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304060807 In 2018, Singapore had a total of 18.5 million international visitors.

Spending quality time together as a family is a very essential part of our lives. Quality family time encourages open communication and builds self-esteem. It helps build positive relationships among the family members. I, myself have celebrated many different occasions together with my family and relatives. However, one particular family occasion will always remain in my heart. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304061502 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304064203 Did you know, that Singapore attracted 18.5 million tourists in 2018?

The grass a blend of darker emerald and bright parakeet green, the sky a magnificent azure. Many people would expect an important family celebration to be in a grand place with carpets and fine silver tableware. But for me, all I need is a picnic mat which sat a few containers homemade food. ]]> 2022-09-20 02:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304064625 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ls68jkzyqtj1/wish/2304064665 qn 2:

Having many unique features, Singapore is definitely a major tourist attraction for people from all over the world.

They are the inspiration to reach new heights and our comfort when we occasionally falter.”  Family is everything to me and the ones closest to me. However my extended family live mostly overseas, which meant that for over two years, we were separated. So imagine my delight when I finally met them for the first time in two years. This reunion with my family  was the most memorable family occasion of my life as I got to catch up with my cousins, go overseas for the first time in two years.
