SG0002 To start to write….

It is always easy to start a writing for the first few lines, but when i try to further elaborate my writing, i found that my brain suddenly got blank. I found myself so difficult to complete a single essay after i left my secondary school. Thinking back those day in the secondary school, when i sat for the exam, i always able to finish an essay with 300++ words within 40 to 50 minutes. However coming to my age now, i found i don’t even can finish single essay with 100 words within 40 to 50 minutes. Why?

May be I am getting old….

May be I am getting useless….

May be i should read more and think more….

May be ……

Sharing a short story with you all.

Last year, before i came over to Singapore, i accidentally thrown my passport into laundry. My passport was damaged. I sent it to Immigration office. They asked me to write a formal appeal letter so that I can get a new copy of passport as early as possible. Now, the problem come. How am I going to write a formal letter? I forgot the format, the proper way of writing a formal letter. I quickly grab a sample of a formal letter from one of the office beside the Immigration Office. It took me about 4 hours to complete a simple formal letter. It was hard task for me as i have to use proper Malay language to write this letter.  After I finished my letter, i was thinking about my writing skill. For me, this kind of letter when i was in secondary school, i should able finish it within one hour. However it took me more than 4 hours to completed it after i left my secondary school for 12 years.

I think this should be the time, i need to read more and write more to polish my writing skill.

Practice make perfect…..
