Underwater Photography

Hello! My name is Serena (0) but I love taking photos underwater.

Underwater photography (9) allowing me to see the world from a completely
different viewpoint. It is (10) an great way of creating fantastic pictures. I started
doing this when I (11) is ten. My uncle showed me a picture of a turtle that he
took while diving. It was beautiful so I (12) asks my uncle to take me along on his
next trip. Soon after that, I went to Redang Island with (13) he. Now, I (14) had a
collection of pictures showing 35 different underwater creatures. One of the
biggest challenges for me is to (15) holding my breath underwater. I also need to
stay still and take as many (16) photo as I can. However, I truly enjoy the
experience. I think that everyone should try diving at least once in their lifetime.

FAMILY GRILLED CHICKEN

The famous Family Grilled Chicken is my favourite restaurant. I will always

find myself chewing clean a drumstick and licking my fingers every time I eat the
grilled chicken bought from the restaurant. Secret spices are mixed and rubbed all
over the chicken before it is grilled over a charcoal fire for hours. It is then served
with black pepper sauce.

The Family Grilled Chicken restaurant is only open on weekends. You can
find it on Tempurung Road. It’s fastest to use the short-cut along Rimbun Road.
The restaurant’s doors are closed until 5 p.m., but some loyal customers will even
start queuing up as early as 4.30 p.m. A whole fresh chicken at the food market
would usually cost between RM15 and RM20, but here I can enjoy a cooked one
for only RM16! It’s a great deal.

As the chickens are cooked in batches and left on the grill, there is always
piping hot, tender chicken to be enjoyed. For just RM5, you can add on fried rice.
It’s a shame that they don’t do my favourite dish – mashed potato – but salad is
another option if you prefer something healthier.

The owner started the stall because he loved grilled chicken. He was an
engineer before becoming the successful businessman that he is now. He first
learned the recipe from his uncle in 2010. He spent the following year trying out
the recipe before opening his stall in 2011. He has been grilling delicious chicken
and filling people’s stomachs ever since!

Why I Love Horror Films

by Muhammad Amin bin Ahmad

I sometimes hate horror films, but I can’t stop watching them. What is it about horror
films that makes them so enjoyable?
I think we love watching horror films because it’s like doing an extreme sport like
bungee jumping. You do it for the excitement that comes from being terrified. I’m really not a
fan of rollercoasters, so watching horror films is my way of experiencing this kind of fear and
excitement. I enjoy them because they don’t make me feel too anxious!
I watch most films with my brother but he doesn’t like horror movies at all. Usually my
sister and I watch these together because she’s a lot braver. Sometimes I keep a cushion close
by, just in case things get too scary!
The other day, I sat down by myself and watched a film called ‘The Strangers’. It’s about
a family that goes on a vacation and stays in a hotel filled with ghosts. They get trapped and
have to find a way to escape. It was almost as scary as ‘The Visitor’, which gave me nightmares!
I had to stop watching ‘The Strangers’ at one point, and checked my phone for a while, just to
calm myself down. I know some people read books and magazines but I don’t find this helps.
Some scenes in horror movies are unforgettable. I once woke up in the middle of the
night because I heard something ticking under my bed. I remembered a similar scene in a horror
movie where something was knocking under the bed and a ghost suddenly appeared! However,
it turned out to be my clock which I accidently dropped and I was scared for nothing.
The more I watch horror films, the more I enjoy them. Whenever a new one is released,
I’ll be the first to watch it – just not on my own!
