Candy Floss

Candy floss – a sweet fluffy stuff that just melts in your mouth used to be popular in carnivals, festivals
and funfairs. Adults and children can be mesmerized as they watch the candy maker spins a confection of very
thin strings of sugar wrapped around a stick into large cloud-like balls. Sometimes colouring and flavouring are
added to make them look more delightful and appealing.
Depending where you live, candy floss can be known by different names, in Great Britain, it is called
floss candy but in the United States of America it is known as cotton candy. Australians known it as fairy floss
and in Italy, it is called a zucchero filato or sugar thread. The sweet, finely spun sugar may resemble hair and
thus called ‘halwa rambut’ by the Malays in Malaysia.
Cotton candy is the result of a process where the sugar is caramelized. During earlier times, making
spun sugar was a lengthy, expensive process which meant only the very wealthy could afford these candies. It
was only in the late 1800s when a machine that made spun sugar was first designed. Consequently, candy floss
had become easily and cheaply available.
The presence of modern technology has enabled the mass production of cotton candy and you can now
find it being sold in malls and supermarkets. However, the fun and magical feeling of savouring cotton candy

Read the diary entry and answer questions 25 to 34.

28th October 2019

Today is my birthday. I am officially 14 years old. Yay! The birthday

presents were the best part of the day.

Mum and Dad gave me RM100.00. As usual they advised me to deposit it in my

savings account. Grandpa and Grandma sent me a T-shirt with a matching cap. Pretty
cool, I can live with all the pink hearts, I guess.

Aiman got me a new phone case. That was a surprise. He always bought me the
usual chocolate bar as he constantly had the same excuse, he is broke! I really like the
case as it glows in the dark. So, you don’t need to switch on the lights to find your
phone and we can save the electricity. Aiman always knew that I keep on misplacing
things.

Song and Ina, my best friends, bought me a diary. That will come in useful soon.
Anyway, there’s not much space left in this one.

Aunt Aminah, gave me a branded lipstick. Must be quite expensive. She may be
Mum’s best friend but she doesn’t realize how Mum dislikes a 14-year-old girl wearing
make-up. So, I am thinking to give it to my eldest sister.

My favourite present is the set of six corner bookmarks that Devi made herself.
To make the bookmark, she learnt from a video. I think they are extra special because
my dear friend took the time to make them for me. Devi is not crazy of arts and
crafts, so I really appreciate her effort. The bookmarks are funny- looking and well
made. I will use them to mark pages of homework from textbooks.

It has been a great day. I feel so loved, thanks to my beloved family and
friends.

DANGER LURKS ANYWHERE

As a girl, I have been warned to take care of myself all the time. Advice on how to keep safe is freely
given by parents, friends and elder siblings. I just pray that no unpleasant and appalling incidents will
happen to me.
However, instead of me, it happened to my neighbour (Mrs Devi) and her daughter (Suzy). 35.

One morning, as they were walking home from the park where they had their morning walk, a
motorcycle stopped. 36. Feeling suspicious about the person, Mrs Devi pulled her

daughter’s hand trying to distance themselves from the motorcycle. However, the man quickly snatched
Suzy’s gold chain and sped away. It happened so fast that the two ladies were shocked and could not
even scream for help.
A man from a nearby house saw the act and quickly rushed out. 37. Other neighbours

noticed the commotion and came out to help Mrs Devi and Suzy. A lady neighbour took them to her
home and let the mother and daughter calmed themselves. She also called Mrs Devi’s husband
and informed him about the unfortunate event. Mr Raju arrived not long after that. 38.

The man who witnessed the incident also went along. They gave an account of what had happened that
morning. Nevertheless, all three could not give a clear description of the thief.
39.
They just hoped that in case he committed a future crime, he would be identified.
Suzy was grateful that she did not suffer any injuries although she regretted missing the chain.
40. She now feared wearing jewellery in public. While it was empting for her to say she

would not want to be kind or helpful to strangers in the future, Mrs Devi told her daughter that she
should not blame herself for someone else’s crime.
