North Borneo Railway

Last year, I, as a travel writer, went to Borneo.I used a train to Borneo through North Borneo Railway . I was very interested in travelling  but much disappointed because of the bad services at the local station. There was no time table shown and I was uncertain what time I can go back to find a famous place and I couldn't enjoy my travel . It was actually a vintage train and I didn't know whether it was comfortable or not.The facilities were not completed yet , no air conditioner, it was rickety and also the food were less tasty. I prefered not to eat the food , I'd rather starved than to eat those odd foods. The journey made me so dizzy. I was not physically fit and in the end I threw up. So,when you are going to visit Borneo and use the North Borneo Railway , you should bring plenty of plastics and bring lots of food.

  I thought this would be the best time in my life, apparently it was not .This experience must have a historical value and I believe it is inappropriate for travelers who are not ready for the condition.

This is an assignment for my A level class : D

My Childhood Memory

I was looking the view around my house , at that time, I was standing on a tree so I can feel the wind touching my skin. The wind pierced to my ears and blowed the tree , it was like I'm flying like a bird. Suddenly a women was approaching me ,she spirted a scented perfume to her body, so when the wind was blowing ,the smell was change it was become fragrant . I couldn't smell the fresh air again then  I asked the women to keep away from me and I said " if you were here the air was getting smelly!" She was resentful by my words then she waggled her hair and go away. I knew that my deportment was annoying.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

The scullery maid....was cooling her cheeks by the lily pond. There had always been lilies there, self-sown from wind-dropped seed, floating red and white on the green plates of their leaves. Water, for hundreds of years, had silted down into the hollow, and lay there four or five feet deep over a black cushion of mud....fish swam—gold, splashed with white....poised in the blue patch made by the sky....It was in that deep centre, in that black heart, that the lady had drowned herself.

Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again....And I shan’t recover this time.....I am doing what seems the best thing to do....I can’t fight any longer....Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer....I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.

The writer’s purpose is to give information about the scullary maid’s life and to create sympathy.This shows that her life was very pathetic by seeing the text , the writer uses normative words and concedes that the scullary maid’s life was full of sorrow . It is preposterous to describe “cooling her cheeks by the lily pond”  whereas lily pond is a vegetable, actually it is describing that her daily activity is just living in scullary ,washing dishes and only vegetables that always accompany her everyday.

An indignation picture of scullary maid is created that she has given up of her life ,it is described by “ I shan’t recover this time” it means that it ever happened to her. Nostalgia is created in her mind “ i don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been “ that she ever did something with someone  and to evoke the past of her memory that she convinces  that she and that someone are happier than the others.
