The road in front of my school is a narrow one. It is also very busy. Every afternoon when school is dismissed the road becomes almost
impassable as children, bicycles, cars and buses jostle and struggle to use it. Sometimes a policeman is there to help things out, but generally chaos
reigns and we have to be careful not to get involved in an accident. A few accidents had already occurred. I was a witness to one.
It happened just after school. As usual the road was an utter mad house. Children were running across the road to get to their cars and
buses. Cars and buses honked angrily at them. Just then I saw a young boy make a dash across the road. There was a loud blare of horn, a squeal of
brakes and I saw a car knock into the boy. He fell as though his feet were swept from under him. Fortunately the car was not moving very fast and
the driver managed to stop the car before a wheel could run over the fallen boy.
All traffic stopped. I ran over to the boy and saw blood on the road. He was bleeding from a cut on his head. A man came and examined
the boy. Then he lifted the boy and carried him to a car. They sped off, presumably to the hospital. Many people surrounded the driver who looked
dazed and bewildered. A policeman came to calm things down.
As there was nothing I could do, I turned and walked down the road carefully. It was terrible to witness an accident. I certainly would not
like to be involved in one.

Sometimes during their orbits, the moon and the Earth form a line with the Sun. When this happens, an eclipse occurs.

part of the Sun's light from reaching the moon. During a lunar eclipse, you will see the Earth's shadow on the moon.

The king cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world. It has special muscles and ribs in its neck that spread out to form a "hood" when
the cobra feels threatened. This makes the snake look bigger than it really is, and may help scare away predators.
King cobras make a deep, loud hissing sound. Like the rattle of the rattlesnake, the hiss is a warning signal that can be heard from a
distance. The message is: "I am big, bad, and will bite you if you come any closer!"
Most cobras are known to protect their eggs after laying them, but the female king cobra does even more. She uses her body and head to

Cheras for a good cause: to visit the orphans in RumahSayang. The Teacher-Advisors who accompanied these caring students were Jenny
Ling and John Khoo.
The school bus arrived at the venue at about 10 a.m. The Matron, Mrs. Edwards, was there to welcome us. The orphans had lined up in
the hall waiting for us. The welcome we received from them was very warm and touching.
We started off with an ice-breaking session. Then, we taught them how to make paper cranes which were stuffed into a lovely glass
bottle. It was a lot of fun especially towards the end. As for performances, we witnessed one the orphans, June, dancing to a hip-hop song and 7-
year-old Barry sang a Japanese song.
The children were really adorable. There was a little boy named Rick, who stuck to June and liked sitting on her lap. There were other
volunteers there on that day too. There was one group of people who gave them haircuts. Another group of volunteers gave them tuition lessons.
