Oh yes, the pain— that indescribable searing, tingling sensation. To my absolute horror, scenes from the recent past flowed into my mind like a broken tap and made me shudder and quiver in fear… Earlier that day, I had fun plans. Strolling to the café to meet my friends, I tapped vigorously on my phone, fu

A Lesson Learnt From an Elderly Relative
Nana was a very famous chef in her village, long before I was born. Her signature dish, mint chutney, had been passed down through the family. Since my parents were on holiday, Nana was taking care of me. She decided to use this precious time to teach me how to make her mint chutney. Alas, I did not share her love for the culinary arts. A neat display of ingredients such as black pepper, salt and mint leaves sat in orderly lines on the table. "Alex, come learn to make mint c

Write about a time when you lost someone or something dear to you. How did that experience affect you?
Milo entered my life when I was nine. He was more than just a pet—he was part of my family, my best friend and my source of comfort. Milo, who never failed to stay by my side whenever I was stressed; who would sit with me by the window and watch the world go by. I loved him dearly, but that care for him slowly vanished as I grew older. Looking back, I realised with a heavy heart: I had taken him for granted. At first, I did all the things I needed to do for him, and more. I

A Victory
It was D-day—the day of my Copa De Singapura Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition. I was a tad nervous, but mostly excited. There was only one other participant in my age, belt and weight category—Alyssa Lee. I would have to fight three matches against her and had to win two. I was going for gold! Soon, it was time for my first match. I had been watching my competitor like a hawk. After a fleeting friendly handshake, it was time for Round 1! Just a couple of seconds into the match
