I was too shy to run away.

The scene where the elderly couple were on the same bike was very romantic.

I was very much on the verge of botching it. Father could have skinned me.

Now the ankle is bandaged and plastered just like a super big zongzi.

No sooner had I told her what had befallen the card than Mary burst into laughter. She produced a card magically from her pocket and thrust it into my hand. It was the very lost card. How come?

Now we are seniors, doing the last year of high school. My service is continued. I’m glad they trust me, but I don’t think it is a fair thing.

As I put the little fruit close to my nostrils and sniffed at it, a pleasant aroma greeted me. Instantly my bad mood was gone. I came back to my seat, refreshed and energetic.

His sons and daughters had to pay a large bill for the father’s medical care at the hospital. Had the old guy used air-conditioning in his own house, the hospitalisation would not have happened and thus he would have saved his family much more.

It is not like us to be explicit about emotions. Perhaps I will not say to Gran, face to face, “I love you”, but my affection towards her is no less profound.

I was so moved. I had not asked any of them to help. Yet I ended up with 3 meals for 1.

At the family conference, however, it was agreed that the person who should have seen the psychiatrist was not her son but her very self.

Parents’ duties go way beyond meeting their child’s physical needs. They should interact with it, inspire it, and play with it. A healthy child is mentally active as well as physically fit.

The commotion cast under the spotlight the guy in dark spectacles and a mask. A lot of passengers turned to him and stared. The pickpocket froze then and there, as if nothing had happened.

I used to believe that most urbanites, especially the rich and the beautiful, look down upon country folk, because of their attire and their accent. This lady, however, corrected my bias.

The girl was a complete stranger to me. Why did she bother?

My phone was my lifeline largely because of its ocean of music on it that fed my soul.

Despite his plain looks on the outside, he is a very nice man indeed underneath.

Every time my parents come to my mind, I realise it was true love that brought the two strangers together, making them friends, then sweethearts and ultimately a couple.

Despite everything, Alex had sailed through it all and shone.

I was having a hard time down there on the pavement when a mature male voice came from overhead, “Girl, give me your hand so that I could pull you up, OK?”

Showered with our care and love, Alan became a bit stronger and started to respond to us with his eyes and tail. The little tail wagged merrily whenever we turned up.

As long as Mum is car-sick, however, it will be a different story. She will end up as weak as an ant. In extreme cases, she will have to recuperate in hospital for a couple of days before she comes back on her feet.

The indicator panel displayed a message, which read, “Overweight. Cannot move.” The elevator door wouldn’t close because of it.

Embarrassed and groggy, the elderly lady was at a loss what to do next.

When my parents were telling me off, my brother would come over and console me.

When he was going aloud through the how-to, all the shoppers around had their eyes riveted on my naïve friend.

As a middle school student, I had lots of fantasies about high school.

Gran came to visit me yesterday. As usual, she brought over bags of snacks and goodies. In a sense, Gran is my pantry.

You probably would not believe this: My grandad copied a dictionary in five days.

It dawned on her that making a plan is one thing; executing it another.

We even did two-role PC games on the same computer, which most kids around us could not afford to, simply because they did not have a sibling.

The ache persisted. It was on throughout the exam, most times slight, occasionally severe. As a result, I found myself distracted from the questions. I simply could not help it.

Looking back on my discovery on the road, I admire the young mother for her way with the daughter.

Thanks to Caroline’s outstanding performance, all the betters lost their deposits to Donald. None of them had predicted there would be such a huge difference. Donald the Class Clown got rich overnight.

Since the light kept burning beyond midnight, she reckoned that it must be the boy who was studying into the wee small hours of the early morning.

According to her, they take advantage of our sympathy by feigning poverty and misery, but I did not believe it.

We were more than satisfied with his attitude to his customers. Very few food vendors we had met before paid attention to such details.

This accident, which suddenly shook me awake, brought home to me the feasibility of walking the sports path.

Working on the first day of the Chinese New Year is taboo traditionally, yet this elderly gentleman did not mind it.

Almost every evening after dinner, all the families would come out with chairs and hand-held fans. There was relaxed chitchat in the cooler air at the hangout at the bamboo grove.
