Example of my English writings/articles:
1) Title: Scary
The scariest thing happened to me today. Although I usually hit the road to my office early in the morning everyday, this week I didn't. Not until 1pm because my husband is home out of the late shift he's working this week. I can't bear seeing him goes to work with an empty belly at lunch time. Cooking for him is never a hassle to me anyway, but most of all I love his company at home. It's not everyday that he has got the time to do that, he's even working this weekend.
I've got tonnes of work to do at the office, of course with my unfinished business - the proposal. I'm a last minute person. I love the adrenaline rush to beat the deadline (today) and to prove last minute action can't do you any harm. So today, I went out earlier, in I go my four wheel partner heading to the office leaving my husband who's still in a peaceful deep sleep (with his permission of course).
So there I sat on my blue chair made more comfy by two lovely pillows. It was 10am and I've loads to do. I can hardly tip my head to see who's passing through. I don't even open my door to make that possible. Indulged in my little contribution to the country, my eyes was never off the monitor screen and my hands keep typing the yet still missing contents. Come lunch time, although my belly was growling for food, I couldn't even afford a leisure lunch with my officemates. There goes my long Friday lunch hours which I always find useful to entertain myself in JUSCO. I just can't. This unfinished business has got to go. Please don't haunt my life anymore. Don't be the nightmare disturbing my sleep any longer.
It's been approximately one month that I have lived without a thumbdrive. Somehow no computer can register it when it's poked into the USB drive. Darn..there goes my RM300 worth of thumbdrive (thank god it's cheaper now...RM50 for a 1G). So I've been saving my work on whichever computer I used and keep attaching it to my own emails so I can access it everywhere I go. Little that I know, it will stay in the 'Temp' folder if I kept pressing the 'save' button. It's like hanging somewhere temporarily hoping that the user will save it somewhere permanently. Well, it doesn't occur to me today for I'm too busy chasing and running trying to hit the red ribbon at the finishing line. I kept pressing the 'save' button, not 'save as' as I should.
It was nearly 6.30pm, my back was hurting, I felt like it was going to snap into two. I haven't performed my Asar prayer yet hoping I could get home in time before Maghrib. I was ready to go home, and emailed myself with the attachment as usual. Out of anxiety over something that could happen to a last minute person like me, I opened my email to check if the attachment is indeed attached right. And.........AGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH. It was not there. What was there is the proposal that I saved yesterday. Today's work have not been saved. I was about to cry and I panicked. I screamed silently coz it seems to be too crazy to scream on top of my lungs in an empty office. The jinx!!!! Call me superstitious but I am sometimes. What will I hand in this Monday (the deadline has been postponed to monday anyway)? A call to my husband might help, emotionally if not technically. When he picked up and listen to my little jinxy tragedy, the first thing he asked, is whether or not I have performed my Asar prayer. A sense of guilt washed over me, I knew it. What comes around do comes around. My indulgence to work has made me put Allah in a second place, which I shouldn't do. His advice was simple, go take your obulation and pray...and indeed pray. I was in tears....this is a matter of passing my PhD or not. This is my punishment.....
In tears I walked shivering with the thoughts of having to compose everything back. I'm doomed. I prayed, and I prayed for Him to give me the strengths to do it all over again. And there I was again, sitting at the blue chair, which do not look any appealing anymore. I might have to spend my night in this alienated office to finish THE proposal. And then it occurred to me...I know I've saved the document, although my husband says I have a habit of not saving my work regularly. I know I did...it's impossible that I don't. As I opened the old document I saved yesterday, I was ready to 'save as' it to avoid the same thing...hopefully the lightning does not strike twice. I don't even know if I can recall all the infos and facts I've included earlier, what more with the torturing formatting and editing work. And there it was...my PROPOSAL!!!.. in the TEMP folder. How do I get to it? Searching using the 'search' facility did not work. I tried and tried, marking which folder it's in and when I open it through 'My Computer', the TEMP folder doesn't even exists. Calling my husband do not help anymore, what can he do 50miles away from me? I press every button and link I know, I was about to give up but I refuse to do so...now that I know it's in there. There must be a way I clicked and I searched....and then pop....my PROPOSAL out there on the screen. I don't know what I did right...but it does bring the document out. I was blessed. The praying works...Allah still give me chance. It was a lesson to me. And please make it a lesson to you too..
Remember guys....do not procrastinate. Do you have a little something in your bag that needs finishing? Go to it..deal with it. Don't wait till the last minute.
2) Title: Books that inspire me
How I wish I had the time to read my favourite author's book nowadays. It seems like the time is running too fast and I can’t catch up anymore. My days are hectic with the research work at the office and my evenings are spent with my husband and kids. There are tonnes and tonnes of chores to be done eventhough bibik is always there to help. I made sure that my own responsibilities should still be carried out myself. Cooking for instance has never been appointed to be done by bibik. My husband has never even tasted a sip of drink made by her. She just takes care of the kids and the house when I’m not around, and do the basic cleaning, laundry and tidying up.
I learnt a lot from Sydney Sheldon, from the prison system, doctors life, diamond pursuer, a nun, a builder, a senator to the alien conspiracy among all. My Favourite Sydney Sheldon's though is The Stars Shine Down. The name of the main character, Lara Cameron, still linger in my mind till today and I always dream to be like her. One day I might get the chance to build my own building like her.
**I also like a Jefry Archer's "As The Crow Flies'. What about you guys out there? Care to share?

My husband has never even tasted a sip of drink made by her. She just takes care of the kids and the house when I’m not around, and do the basic cleaning, laundry and tidying up.
By
the time I went to bed, I was exhausted hoping that my three little
rascals are tired enough to go straight to bed. There is no more energy
to be drained out of me, what more to relish a book I truly love.
There
seems to be a pattern in the type of books I like with the progression
of my age. In high school, I used to love reading Judith McNaught’s
romance novels. My first was Whitney, My Love.
I was fully indulged in reading the novel, my friends had to pull it
away from me to have me go with them to the dining hall come lunch or
dinner time. Her language is always as beautiful as it can be and I
can’t help but imagine all the people and places she describes in her
writings. The characters are always so unique and appealing and most of
the settings are always in the past Victorian ages when the cultures are
so different from today. I hopped from one after another, books to
books of hers including Once and Always, Something Wonderful, A Kingdom of Dreams and Until You.
Unfortunately, I don’t get to read them anymore after I finished my
highschool for all the novels I’ve read were not mine. They were my
friends’, I didn’t have the luxury of buying even food that I like at
that time, what more buying novels.
When
I go to college, I found another alternative to cater my love of
novels, the library. Unfortunately, schools do not provide Judith
Mcnaught’s romance novels on the shelves. Then I introduced myself to
Danielle Steel. The first that I read was titled “Star”, a love story between a Hollywood
singer and a lawyer. I like her writing style but after sometimes it
can be monotanous. That’s the only book from her that I truly love
anyway. I tried to read Jewels but I’ve never finished it. I don’t read Danielle Steel anymore.
My
all time favourite author is Sydney Sheldon. I don’t even remember how I
got to read my first Sydney Sheldon’s work but I do remember which one,
‘If Tomorrow Comes’. It was about a woman prisoner who can’t wait to
get out to take a revenge on the killer of her family and she managed to
do it in an appealingly shrewd way. I got to learn of how the prison
system is and the life of a prisoner. After that memorable introduction
to Sheldon, I can’t wait to finish all the book written by him.
Sydney
Sheldon’s books were always articulately and lucratively written and
most of the main characters are women (at least the ones that I’ve
read). His way of picturing and describing people, places and events are
so vivid, we can imagine ourselves being there. I love the twists, the
mysteries and the stories. The list of Sydney Sheldon’s books that I
have read so far is:
The Best Laid Plans
Nothing Lasts Forever
The Stars Shine Down
The Doomsday Conspiracy
Memories of Midnight
The Sands of Time
Windmills of the Gods
If Tomorrow Comes
Master of the Game
Rage of Angels
A Stranger in the Mirror
The Other Side of Midnight.
Nothing Lasts Forever
The Stars Shine Down
The Doomsday Conspiracy
Memories of Midnight
The Sands of Time
Windmills of the Gods
If Tomorrow Comes
Master of the Game
Rage of Angels
A Stranger in the Mirror
The Other Side of Midnight.
I learnt a lot from Sydney Sheldon, from the prison system, doctors life, diamond pursuer, a nun, a builder, a senator to the alien conspiracy among all. My Favourite Sydney Sheldon's though is The Stars Shine Down. The name of the main character, Lara Cameron, still linger in my mind till today and I always dream to be like her. One day I might get the chance to build my own building like her.
