Oh no. What I feared most had came. I stuffed my ears between my pillow and bolster, hoping it would block out any sound. There it came. "RIIIIIIIIIIING!RIIIIIIING!".
Darned alarm clock. I attempted to knock it down using a tissue paper, but obviously it didn't work.
Unwillingly, I sleepily sat there on my bed, staring at the wall opposite with a pair of eyes that looked they had never seen daylight. Darned alarm clock. I thought again. "Jason! Breakfast is ready! Come and eat it while its hot!" Mom hollered down the hallway. "Coming!" I tried to say. Maybe Mom didn't hear it. Who cares anyway.
There. Breakfast, in front of me. It didn't really look that appetising, but I still had to eat. Hoarding the food down my oesophagus, I tried to think positive. Yes, its another day. Think, about all the things you could do today! It didn't really help much.
I decided yet to slumber in my bed for just a liitle while longer.

Holiday Week1 Journal Entry
It was yet another tormenting day at tuition. The teacher's monotonus tone was like some sort of hypnotic trance, sending me off to dreamland. However hard I pushed my eyelids up, the weight was just too much. With that, I drifted off to sleep...
"Hey!, wake up!, this isn't the time to fall asleep! Pay attention, do you understand?" Not really getting the words into my mind, I blurrily nodded my head, trying to get a hold of myself. I shook my head. I used my fingers to open my eyelids. I slapped myself a few times (not that hard of course). My efforts were totally fruitless.
With drudgery, I waited and waited. Finally, the words, "you are dismissed." were like music to my ears. Back at home, I fell on my bed and couldn't resist falling asleep. How tiring.

Catherine Webb. Well it wasnt until I made my trip to the library that I found one of her books. Her books has left a great of impression on me.
5 Interesting Facts on Catherine Webb
1. She completed her first book, Mirror Dreams, only at the age of 14.
2. She also appeared in national television when she was 15 and also with the Telegraph, described as a 'Teen Queen'.
3. She appeared in CosmoGirl in an interview and inspired many young writers to try and get their works published.
4. Since her first book, she has gone on to write more books and has been favourably compared with Terry Pratchett (one of her literary heroes) and Philip Pullman. She has now published seven novels, all with Atom Books,and is a third-year history student at the London School of Economics.
5. She often prides herself on the scientific and historical accuracy of her Horatio Lyle books, which have been acclaimed by reviewers and readers.
There wasn't really much about her on wikipedia, so that's really much it. Her books were so interesting, it kept me stuck to it, even till the last page. I really hope that more books will be published.

An array of colours flushed through the sky. Tom jumped in exultation. He had just won in the National Maths Competition.
Since little, teachers had noticed Tom had a talent in mathematics. Every single test he would score from 90 to 100, never a 89. Students called him the "Maths Prodigy".
But, ever since then, he became over-confident over his skills as he grew up. This lead to his downfall. Soon, he became an adamant person. All his friends abandoned him over his attitude. He kept faltering in his studies, and at the end of the year, his report book was full of "F"s.
But now, due to the encouragement of his teachers, friends and families he was able to make a comeback, and learned his lesson. He jumped for joy once again.
Cherish what you have.

Term2 Week5 Journal Entry
John and David were childhood enemies. Born from the start of their lives they were always showing strong aversion towards each other with much resentment. Nothing could stop the likes of these two to ever stop fighting.
Their fights were inevitable. They met every day at school, and John would always rebuke David to antagonize him. But, David would deliberately ignore his hostility.
One day, again they were having another fight. This time they fought with each other brutally. In the tough tussle, each got hurt badly. It wasn't until John thought of a question, "Why must we fight?". He found himself dumbstruck to that question and walked away, pondering...
Peace brings Harmony, vice-versa.

Term2 Week4 Journal Entry
The tourist attraction stood magically among the scenic view, buried in endless puffs of clouds. Many people especially flew a long way to see just this very awesome attraction.
I myself have been there once. A volcano. But, it was just as unfortunate that it had to happen on that particular day. There was a volcano eruption. I was shocked, rooted to the ground. Everyone was fleeing for their lives, avoiding debris all around.
After much panic and chaos, the eruption ended. A lot of peoplewere suffering from detriment, and I could see most tourists rue coming on this very day. But still, I was nevertheless happy that I could actually get to see a volcano erupt for the first time.
What a day.
