At the Beginning of a New Term

Yesterday was the first school after the recess. It just slipped away before I noticed that. When I stepped into the classroom, instead of feeling any differently, it was like starting the class again after the weekend. Ms Moh Keng threw these questions to us: “What did you do during the recess? Did anyone do anything interesting?” In contrast to her typical enthusiastic way of raising questions, I could only give a blank stare as response. It really took some efforts to revive things I did during the last week. However, besides the barbeque I failed to come up with anything that could correspond with “interesting”. The memory of the one-week recess has already been blurring, although it just came to an end. Quite strange, wasn’t it?
At first I was a bit disappointed about the initial idea that my recess week was not fascinating. However, when it occurred to me that the break pasted by before I could noticed, I realized that in fact it was not that bad; at least I did not feel that time was lingering. After recollecting for a few seconds, I felt that the last week was quite rich. My classmates and I had a good time on the east coast on Tuesday. In addition, I avoid being thrown into the water successfully, which was indeed a relief. The symphony concert in Esplanade on the Thursday was overwhelming. Besides, the shopping and swimming were also quite enjoyable.
Maybe sometimes we only feel disappointed about a period of time because we have not thought it over. Actually there will always be something worth appreciation. As this is the beginning of a new term, I suppose it is the time to start producing what we can appreciate at the end of the session.
