28th December, 2008 cold and cloudy
Yesterday was a good and bad day for me. My cousin married his girlfriend, but the bride could not marry happily.
We were late to the wedding. But we could see them kiss, exchange rings and drink tea. Then, I played NDs for about one hour because my cousin wanted me to help her with the ‘Super Mario’ game. She was not good at it.
At 7pm, there was a lot of delicious food. There were crispy chicken, prawn and scallop, shark’s fin, fish, etc. My uncle drank a lot of wine and beer too. After we had dinner, we took photos with the bride and groom. When many relatives went back home, my cousin needed to get the bill. My uncle shouted at the manager, “This dinner wasn’t good, the fish was small and there were only two prawns for each table! No need to pay you $317,900!” And he swore at the manager. Suddenly, the groom’s mother shouted to the bride, “Why did you choose this place? You are not good!” So the bride cried.
Why did they need to quarrel? Why couldn’t the bride marry happily?

The Adventures of Catherine - amended by Phyllis
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Catherine. She was a bad girl and everyone disliked her, so she did not have any friends.
One day, when she went to school, she saw a blind woman crossing a road. Catherine kicked the woman and the woman was hurt. The blind woman was angry and shouted, “Do you know who I am?” “I think you are a blind idiot!” Catherine yelled. “I am a magician! I think you should have a taste of what it’s like to be blind!” the woman shouted again. Suddenly, Catherine could not see anything. “Help! Help! What is happening? I am very scared!” Catherine cried. She did not know where she was because she could not see anything. The magician said, "If there are other people liking you, you can see again!"

ABCman's adventures
There was a typhoon coming to Hong Kong at midnight. Everyone was preparing for it. Harry Potter’s family was hard- working so they had no time to prepare for the typhoon.
Suddenly, a man called ABCman flew in the sky. He shouted, “I ought to help the people, the typhoon is so big!” He used a weapon called “A” to make the typhoon stop, then he used another weapon called “B” to push the typhoon out of the world. Finally, he used weapon “C” to make it disappear in the sky. He had power like Superman’s but Superman was sleeping at that time.
A reporter ran after ABCman and asked, “Hi! What’s your name?” When ABCman wanted to answer, Superman appeared and said, “Don’t answer!” Then, ABCman went back home. When he was back home, Harry Potter saw him and said, “Hi! I am Harry Potter!” ABCman said, “What happened?” “Five witches are in the school near Ocean Park.” “Okay! I will kill them next Saturday.”
-----------Next Saturday----------
The five witches had nothing to do and went to Ocean Park. ABCman went there too. He ran after them. The witches knew he was after them and they turned him into a frog. Superman knew this, and he helped ABCman to become a man again. The witches were so sad, because they were ordered by Harry Potter to kill ABCman.
Finally, ABCman and Superman used a “super-weapon” called “D” to kill Harry Potter. From then on, ABCman did not go out because there was no more crime in Hong Kong.
