past few days, i went "swimming" in the sea of words... hehe. actually i was reading my friend's book and here are some sentences which i found interesting :

• When Carla opened her eyes, she saw a row of fluorescent lights. Very neatly arranged, she thought.
• He tried to get up but blackness enveloped him.
• An agonising six months later, Alan hobbled out the hospital on crutches. His face looked like a badly drawn picture and his right leg was two inches shorter than his left.
• Worse of all, their little boy was gone forever, no more laughter, nor tears, nor the chubby little face that radiated so much warmth and innocence.
• Happily we collected our books and headed out of school. The atmosphere of happiness was intoxicating.
• What a great albeit unexpected day it was!

expressing emotion :

1. expressing fear
Thunder paid its visit. lightning could be seen everywhere.the sky was never lonely.droplets of cold rain came pouring down as if to wash away all the dirts on land. the old mansion was dark again. eerie feeling was in the air. the rushing of wind through windows and doors made my body hairs erected. i was strucked with an ultimate fear. i had my heart in my mouth and the only thing i wished for on that time was for my family to be there...

2. expressing happiness
Flowers are blooming bold and beautiful, adding some cheerful expression to the atmosphere. The sun is shining bright, striking its  buttery light across the fertile, green land. What a scenery to watch! Butterflies and ladybirds are joining the nature's party and together, they welcome the whisper of the wind. Everything looks complete and perfect on that day. Nature looks happy, as happy as Allan is. He is walking gingerly, and sometimes he is about to jump. His face is glowing with a glow that only he can describe. It's the happiness he can not hide. Oh, what a joy it is to be a father...

3. expressing sadness
She was drowned in her own river of tears. She would not want to speak or see anyone. The tragic news of the death of her own sister had cursed her into a doom, sorrow life. Life brought no more meaning. It was her entire fault and no one was to be burdened for the loss except for her. But, she did not mean to. She did not plan the accident. She had put all her efforts and strength onto the pedal brake..... still, the accident was unavoidable and fated... Her heart was empty.Hollow. As sadness locked her heart , she was in no spirit to continue life and accept the fate that Katherine was gone forever... She dissolved in her own sadness and she was even sad to look at...

giving "life" ??

today at school, one of my friend asked me to comment on her essay.. well, we always do this kinda thing ( "commenting" each other ) after each exam.. ok, so what came to my mind on that time was : 
to "soften" the sentence or giving flow to it or better said as giving "life" to the sentence, maybe? well tchr, if u read this, pls correct which ever should be corrected.. hehe! maybe u guys will see it better with examples.

a) the books suddenly felt from the shelf. everybody was shocked.

b) the books suddenly felt from the shelf creating a loud sudden sound which had made everybody's hair erected. there was a long silence and only the beating of everybody's heart could be heard.

in my point of view, (b) sentence is better than (a). i think, (b) helps the reader to understand more of the situation. it helps the reader to see the sit. in an interesting way. to round up everything, (b) had done well than (a).

ok folks, that's it. one example for today. maybe in the next post, i'll add in some more. u know, clock doesn't seem to agree with me all the time... i've to give up.. hehe..see ya in the coming week. gonna be busy up to next friday. bye!

describing places

here are  some sentences to describe places (hopefully they are useful enough!) :

• roses are blooming everywhere in the garden. lilies make the picture perfect, and orchids add some colours to nature's drawing. birds are chipping harmoniously, performing their own orchestra on the old wrinkled branches. everything seems to be perfect.
• our new house is quite large. definitely larger than our previous one. the parlour stretches from the front door to the lips of the backyard opening. the windows are clear enough for all of us to stand by and watch the sun set.
• the old town is a left one. it's a "Cowboy town". only the gas station had its light on. nobody could be seen, what more in the viscosity of the dark night. Wind could be heard breezing through the wrinkled Autumn leaves, leaving an eerie music in the air.
• the island was a perfect location for an amazing vacation.from inside the plane, it looked like a tiny dot of ink on a wide blue paper. it had a beautiful sandy beach-perfect enough to land a yacht. it came with a complete package of a warm welcoming cottage hiding right beneath the canopy of the green jungle. sometimes, smoke could be seen escaping from the woody chamber, indicating the presence of visitors. during winter, the sea froze and it would create an incredible view from the windows of the cottage. besides, the island owned a smallholding to give pleasure to those who love worm and soil.
• the castle looked stunning in the rise of the dusk. the dim light made a perfect pair with the bare wall.the gate was way too tall -impossible to be reached by a human being. 
• when we reached the crime scene, fresh blood was still oozing from the dreadful looking dead-body. the person was newly wed and newly murdered. colour of the blood painted the floor. the house looked terrible like a bull in the China shop.the curtain was down on the floor and the vase was broken. sharp sparkling glasses are everywhere- you name it: on the sofa, on the table, on the dead... body
• winter wasn't my favourite. i was freezing cold. zero temperature didn't seem to suite me well, i hate it when it made me sniffed a thousand time. i walked along the snowy path, trying to recentre myself after one long hectic day. the park reminded me to some memories i used to long. the rotting wooden bench brought me back to the nostalgic time i had with my dad. the wind blew slowly, touching my face tenderly just like mum would do whenever i was beaten by sadness..i was touched. all these had brought me back to my homeland, Malaysia..

*the last sentence is not entirely describing a particular place. it's describing the feeling, i think.

do correct me if it's not right.

describing person

what i am going to share next can be used in essay writing, of course..
but it is more advisable to use it in narrative writing..
the sentences are quite "bunge".. ehehe..

describing person :

• He is such a man with fine manners and smooth tongue.
• Among girls, he is better known as "Romeo, the sweet talker".
• His hand hung a mile out of his sleeves and his huge feet were like shovels.
• His head was small and flat on top, with huge ears, large, green, glassy eyes and a long pointed nose, all sat on his long thin neck looking like a weathercock, set up to show which way the wind blew.
• She is the real centre of attraction. With her fair glowing skin covered with apple red flawing dress, dark flowery hat on top of her head, blinking jewellery that could be seen from miles, pointed high-heeled shoes...you tell me, which eyes wouldn't stop to gaze at her?
• Coming back from work that dreadful midnight, I saw a small figure, a boy with his head buried in his skinny arms, crying soberly at the corner end of building. I was hesitated, not knowing what to do.

* lines which are highlighted with turquoise indicate they are in the form of complex  structure.
