Pet Expedition (article)

Pet Expedition

By Gavin Tan Min Yao

  Last weekend, there was a pet expedition held in Setia City Convention Centre. This was the second time they having a pet expedition where the first was last year. This time it was a two days expedition and it was crowded than before.

  This time, they even had a pet competition for dogs and cats. The competition for both pet was the fashion show competition. This competition challenged one’s groomer skills and its wearing. The first prize will win a total RM10, 000 of pet accessory coupon. For second and third prize will win a total of RM5, 000 and RM2, 500 respectively. The limit number of place to enter this competition was 100 pet. There was also a competition only for dogs, the dog that join this competition must face through all the course given such ass jump over, climbing up and down and walk through hole. The wining prize for this competition was as same as the one before.

  Inside, there were many visitors exploring this expedition while bringing along their pets. This expedition purpose was to propagate pet shops to the people. While they propagate about their shop, they also sell some goods such as pet food and pet treats. They also sell accessory such as pet’s toys, pet shirts and pet beds. Some of it propagates pet’s food such as Pedigree and some even propagates pet’s graveyard. At there, they have a lecture about a slogan “Save the Stray” to tell the public about the life of a stray animal. They even make a video clip by tying around a stray dog. The video clip shows when the stray dog hungry,it search rubbish for food; when the stray dog trusty, it drink the dirty water by the street. At the end of the clip, a car smashes the dog and that was how stray dogs die.

  Nowadays, having a bird, dog and cat were very common this day. But there was a strange pet like such as snakes, chameleon and even spider. There was a pet shop that only sells reptiles and same thing goes to spider. I saw a visitor bringing in a skunk and carry it like carry a wallet. I even saw a big kind dog that was two meter long and always asleep. I also saw a people bringing in a fox to the expedition.

  This expedition was over of my expectation, all the pets have amaze me by the different type of it.

Introduction of Myself

  My name is Gavin Tan Min Yao, Gavin for short. Most of my college friends know me as strong body after an adjective lesson. I was born in 1997 September 2.

  I live in a normal life with my two younger sisters, my mother, my father, my grandpa and do kot forget my pet Bobby. My mother looks younger then she really is, most people especially my friends thought she was my elder sister. Every time when I faced problem such as being bullied, she helped me solve it. I have two annoying younger sisters that often cause many troubles like living with two monkeys. But sometimes, they cheer me up.

  I am an introverted person, I was a diffident person and passive too that makes people think that I am unsociable. I am also a childlike person that sometimes did not know what people are trying to say. I have obsessive-compulsive tendency of cleanliness that sometimes bother me a lot. I am actually kind and wise person; I often help my secondary school’s friends on calculation and art problem. I have a habit that is done something in the last minute time.

  Some of my friends often describe me as penguin, brother bear and Baymax. These descriptions have one thing in common and that is clumsy, the best and also the worst personality I have ever had. I felt lucky to has this personality, because I often entertaining others and their smile is the purpose that make me live.     

My Ideal Future City

  My ideal future city was named Krypton. In there, people live happily and never get bored of it. This is because of the fun and freedom was unlimited here.

  Starting from houses, all people live in there have houses none like others. In my ideal future city, places are limited but there were underwater houses, floating houses and a flying city. This increases the spaces for constructing other property. For a flying city, there will be power plan, wind mall and solar energy to produce the electrical energy for people living on it and also getting a free cold natural wind. It is the best destination to watch sunset and also avoid raining. For underwater houses, there will be a free view of the oceans activity and unlimited air conditioner.

  If you fell bored of it, think again. Here we have android as personal butler. It not only just does chores, but it will also take place as a doctor, teacher and sometimes even worker of a company. In here, magnetic car take places as car and even replaced plane, ships and submarine. This bring much benefits like it can travel to a far destination in a short time, it can also dive into sea without water leaking in. There is also a machine couch that replaces bed, by sleeping it for two hours replaces six hours of sleep by bed.

  People in the future did not consume food like meats and vegetables at all; instead they consume pills with different categories such as protein, carbohydrates and fats. This makes it easier and also save time for it. One thing special about there is no trees but still produce oxygen. They have a factory of producing spirogyra that inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen like normal trees. There, they have portable oxygen generator in just everywhere in the streets.

  For gadgets, computer was out dated for the pass few year, but now, they have a computer projector on a mini sized cone shape keyboard. This not only conserve places, but also easy to carry along with. For phones, all is needed to carry is just a piece of glass due to this invention. Video games bring to a new edge too; the games are in 3d that you can join in as a real life experience.

  I hoped for my ideal future city came true when the time comes. It will be soon due to the evolution of humans’ mind.

The Legendary Book (Short Story)(Book)

  Once upon a time, there was a planet named “Dom” which human lives in. There, books were the most important to human there. It contained knowledge of just what we can think of. There were many different kind of book, for an example such as novel, text book, story book etc. But, there was a book named “Legend” that was never been found till now. Based on rumours, this book was never been found due to its’ power. One day, an adventurer named Xyphurus had his journey to Prairie Town, a normal town that most adventurer been through there. Xyphurus fate was change after the day he reached Prairie Town.

  When he reached Prairie Town, he saw a group of well-trained soldiers searching for something. He heard two black smiths discussing about the kingdom of Saint Haven. He heard from them that the King, Percy send all of his troops for the search of the legendary book, Legend. The King even set a bounty to inform those whoever found the book will be rewarded wealth. Xyphurus was interested on the legendary book and wanted to search for himself. So he decided to ask the people of that town to collect some hint of the where about of the book. After question with a few of strangers, he came across a purple tent. Xyphurus felt strangely like a force was pulling him into the tent. Without hesitated, he went in to the purple tent. When he pulls up the curtain of the tent, he saw an old lady sitting with a magical orb that was placed on a round table. The old lady told Xyphurus that the day they meet was finally come. Xyphurus did not understand what the old lady was trying to say, he questioned her about the legendary book. The old lady said when the sunset of the full moon, the book shall review its location but beware the chaos that was meant to be. Xyphurus thanked the old lady and went out from the tent; he wondered why the old lady said that they will meet. At the time he turns back, the tent was disappeared.

  At that moment, a bright yellow light shine and the sky turned yellow, it was already sunset. A mysterious light showed a pathway in front of Xyphurus for few seconds. Xyphurus remember what the old lady told him, he quickly packed up his things and proceed to Calderock Village. When he reached the gate of Prairie Town, he heard the sound of clashing swords from the forest nearby, he quickly ran towards the forest. By the time he reached, he saw a battle among the soldiers of Saint Haven and a woman who holding a sharp blade. He quickly assists the woman by battling the soldiers. During the battle, the woman asked whether Xyphurus was going betray the King. Without replied her question, Xyphurus asked her why she battle against the soldiers. She said the Kingdom was going to use the legendary book to conquered Dom and the other planet. Slash! All the soldiers were down. The woman told Xyphurus Aqua was her name, Xyphurus introduce himself to her. Aqua explained the situation that the king was going to use the power of legend to rewrite the world to him. His greed on the search of the legendary book was dangerous; this was why she started battle against the king. Suddenly, a white light of a letter “L” came from Xyphurus right hand glow brighter and brighter, showing the pathway to the legendary book. Aqua asked Xyphurus was he the chosen one, Xyphurus did not knew what she was talking about.

  Without staying, Aqua told Xyphurus that there was no time left to waste, because the soldiers were about to found the legendary book. They continue headed Calderock Village for the search of the legendary book. About three hours later, they both reached Calderock Village and went into a hut for a hideout. Aqua was thinking a plan to sneak out and search the legendary book before the king did. Xyphurus asked what the legendary book was; Aqua hesitated for a while and replied him. The legendary book, Legend had a power that can rewrite the entire universe. Whoever got the legendary book shall be given a chance to control the past and future of the entire universe. That was why she was preventing the king of reaching the legendary book. Slash! The soldiers starting to harm the villagers by killing their relatives. Aqua and Xyphurus rushed out to stop the soldiers by battling them. They were outnumbered; this time all the villagers helped them to protect the village. They used all their farming tools as weapon to battle against the soldiers. One of the villager said to them that this was their village to protect, so he told them to continue their search.

  Xyphurus and Aqua leaved the battle to the villagers and continued running to the centre of Calderock Village. As they reached, Xyphurus right hand glowed, the letter “L” appeared again. But this time, more letters was appeared and the word “LEGEND” was form. The water fountain stopped spraying water and the light of the full moon shines at the water fountain. A shooting star was coming towards the water fountain’s direction, instead of destruction, a bright light shine the whole Dom. When they opened up their eyes, the book Legend floating in front of them and all of the sudden everything had stopped. Legend opened its cover and spoke to Xyphurus that now he was the owner of it. Xyphurus thought of what he capable of doing to the past, maybe he could get what he wanted most. Aqua fear Xyphurus will do the wrong thing, so that she told him his greed will guide him to the wrong path. Xyphurus came to his mind of thinking the sacrifice that had been made by the villagers; he also reminded the words said by the old lady that chaos was meant to be. With this, he used the power of Legend to restore balance and bring peace to the universe. All of the people who sacrifice for this war will be revived.

  He again used Legend to destroy itself, so that no one else can use the power of Legend anymore. The legendary book started glowing bright and its power disappeared. All people’s memory of the legendary book was lost except Xyphurus and Aqua. Legend started changing colour from white to brown and became a normal story book at the end. At last, the world was peace again. Now Legend became a famous story book of the entire Dom and its writer was Xyphurus.  

Spaghetti (Peom)

Spaghetti 

Form mixture wheat became a delicacy

From Italian recipe became a global cuisine

A food that both tasty and beauty

With scent of smell of a mixed herbs

Nowadays with varieties of it

Fettuccine, Rigatoni and Fusilli the relative of it

Linguine the famous of it

And Carbonara spaghetti that I like it

With cheesy texture sauce that tangle our mouth

Bring forward the taste of the button mushroom

It is both work of art and a marvellous food

Like it was meant to be

A word of advice

Those people who never taste it

Test it and guarantee you won’t regret it

Savor for as a delicious cuisine.
