On my daughter's 1st birthday, I made a cake for her. I decorated it with the Disney characters, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. It was such a wonderful experience for me. My wife inspired me to make this special birthday cake. She is very good at making cakes.
On that day, I went and got all items for the cake. I had never made a cake before, so I felt a little bit nervous. Before I made the cake, I imagined how to decorate it, then I started right away. I chose the flavour. I made a cake with chocolate flavour. I followed the steps in the recipe carefully. And finally I could make it. It was not bad at all.
All the people and the children who were invited to the birthday party liked the cake. I was very proud. My wife told the guests that I made the birthday cake. I felt satisfied when they were surprised that I could make a cake. Since then making cakes has become one of my hobbies.

Willebrord Snell
Willebrord Snell was a great scientist, mathematician,
and astronomer. He had many great accomplishments in his lifetime. He was born in Leiden,
Netherland in 1580. He attended the University of Leiden where he studied law. However, he
wanted to work with mathematics. He even tough math while he studied law. He was able to give mathematics lectures at Leiden on special day.
He graduated with his degree in 1607.
Rudolph Snell, his father, was the professor of mathematics in Leiden. When he
died in 1613, Willebrord took over the position of professor in university of
Leiden. Snell worked a lot with mathematics and optics but also with astronomy
and navigation. He worked with comets in the navigation field and he published
Typhis Batavus for Navigation.
Snell contributed to the science of
optics when, in 1621, he discovered the basic law of refraction. Refraction is
the bending of waves caused by a change in their speed when they move from one
medium to another. However, it did not become known until 1703 when Huygens
published Dioptrically which included Snell's discovery.
Other major accomplishment include
Eratosthenes Batavus, which was a way of measuring earth by triangulations and
would eventually become the foundation of modern geodesy; and improving
"pi" estimation, by using a 96 sided polygon. Snell also worked with
loxodrome, the path on the sphere that makes constant angle with the meridians.
Willebrord van Roijen Snell died at the
age of 46 in Leiden, Netherlands on October 30, 1626. He had
stayed and did all his
studies in the Netherlands. Although he did not have a very long life span, he contributed a lot
to the science of optics and mathematics.

My weekend was a disaster. It was
actually my older brother’s twentieth birthday. To celebrate it, he wanted to
eat out at a seafood restaurant not far from our house. So my parents, my
brother, my sister, and I went there in the evening. We really enjoyed the food
and my brother was very happy, especially with the gifts.
But something terrible happened when we got
home. All of us threw up. My mother and my sister had a stomachache. So we immediately went to the

Last Sunday, my parents, my best friend Jane and I visited a cave at Maros
called Leang-leang. It was my first time to visit the cave.
The cave was famous for its primitive cave wall-paintings which were some
hand prints and wild boar paintings. The cave and its surroundings were turned
into a national park, so they were well taken care of. My parents took a rest
at a small hut provided for visitors of the park, while Jane and I explored the
cave with a guide. We had to climb several metal stairs to get to the cave, because
it was embedded into a small mountain. The next stop was a place where a lot of
seashells littered the ground and some were actually piled into a big mound!
The guide said that these piles of seashells are called ‘kjokkenmoddinger’, or
kitchen trash. The humans who lived there ate the seashells and dumped the
leftovers in their ‘kitchen’. The last place was a small museum where they had
skeletons of the humans who lived in the caves. The skeletons, along with some roughly made jewelry and weapons were placed
inside glass cases for display. The walls of the museum were adorned with
photographs taken when they excavated the site.
After a quick lunch with Jane and my parents, we decided it was time to go
back home. We really had a good time there.

It was a bad
hair day. Since I got up in the morning,
I hadn’t been able to do my hair. I tried everything I knew, but still it
didn’t do any good at all. Then my
sister suggested that I use her hair moisturizer. So I went to her room, took a bottle of
moisturizer without consulting my sister, and applied it to my hair. Then I
hurried to catch the bus to school.
Unfortunately, it started to rain and I didn’t have my umbrella with me.
So I had to run from the bus to the school building.
Arriving there, I saw my friends looking at
me giggling. Feeling that there was
something weird going on, I asked my friend what was wrong. She pointed at my hair and burst into
laughter, “Just check your hair.” So I hurriedly took out a small mirror from
my bag and checked my hair. Gosh! My
hair is full of foam!

My mother got me ready
for school then I had to wait for her to brush my hair and place every strand
in just the perfect position. I had to show her my shoes that I had cleaned the
night before and my school bag had to be neatly put on my shoulder before I
could get near the door. Only after my mother was totally satisfied I would be
allowed to rush out of the front door.
I would leave home at 8 a. m and make my way down the lane. After a walk of about 700 meters I would be able to see the tall of the school. The playground would be full in the summer and the noise would make me want to rush into the yard and get into a good game of football before the bell rang.

brush with a shark
We were camping at a beach near Mallacota. It was a
beautiful day. The sky was blue and the water sparkling. We wanted to go
surfing, but the locals warned us that there could be sharks around.
In we went, and the waves were big, but something
funny was going on. There were little fish everywhere. They were flying through
the water, skimming through our legs.
Soon I discovered what was frightening the fish. As
I turned to catch the next wave, I heard the shout…SHARK! It was on top of the
wave, surfing towards me. Before I had time to turn around it brushed past me,
heading for the flying fish.
I practically walked on the water as I raced
towards the beach. As I stood on the shore I could see my heart bumping in my chest.
