One of my most recent memories is the authentic experience at the mall with three of my friends, Eunice, Wing Kit and Cheng Ye. We went there to buy a gift for Cheng Ye's cousin, Claire, from abroad, whom he has not met in a long time.

She is aged 14 years old, her favourite foods are ice- cream and sushi, and her hobbies are sleeping, swimming, cycling, running, and listening to music. She is also more of a sporty and hardworking person. She likes playing on her phone, the colour PINK, using social media such as whatsapp, facebook to socialize. She dislikes computer games and the colour blue.

Cheng Ye has not seen Claire in quite a while, and Claire has not visited Singapore in ages, we have decided to get Claire a gift to welcome her. Thus we decided to go to Tampines Mall as there is a wide variety of shops there. Our budget is $50.

When we reached Tampines mall, it was very packed with shoppers, were lugging huge shopping bags. The mall was filled with the noisy sound of people chattering and laughing. It was so noisy that I had to shout and strain my voice to talk to Eunice, who was just right beside me. Salespersons were announcing the various offers they were having. The smell of curry chicken entered my nostrils as I while gazed at the patrons savouring the mouth-watering curry chicken, causing my mouth to drool as we walked past the restaurant.

Finally, after browsing through many electronic stores, we decided upon an pink shiny earpiece from Courts that costs $20.

We chose the product based on her preferences as she liked pink and shiny objects and also because it had a reasonable price and was within our budget.

After buying the earpiece, we were left with $30. Thus we decided to get her another gift based on her hobby of sports. We wanted it to be within our budget of $30, the colour pink and it to be useful and long-lasting.

Eventually, we headed down to the ' Royal Sporting House' and chose a pair of pink as it would

    The daily scream therapy of my neighbour in the shower does not fail to act as an alarm clock every morning. This daily “alarm clock” was a good enough reason to not succumb into the pressure of calling the police. The rhythmic sound of everyone’s steps outside gave birth to the gravel, small as peas which moved beneath their feet and from it a faint dust rose, the perfume of the town. This perfume I had to get used to now, this perfume I will smell for the years to come. This foreign town was now my new home, away from all the sadness, unfulfilled relationships and the past, a town full of versatile people, some doctors, some painters, some chocolatiers and some farmers, all with big houses towering over them. A town still rich with bicycles and kids playing in the streets early in the morning, the streets filled with the aroma of bread this all felt very new to me, I was a city dweller, this made me feel great unease.…

    “A cochlear implant is a device that provides stimulation directly to the auditory nerve, bypassing damaged hair cells in the cochlea that prevent sound from reaching the nerve. An implant does not result in ‘restored’ hearing for the recipient but does allow him or her to perceive sounds” (Cochlear Implant, n.d.). There are many helpful aspects of cochlear implants such as gaining the capability to interpret sounds and being able to speak. However, the implants require a lot of maintenance. “Wearing a cochlear implant is a lifetime commitment, and requires the recipient to maintain and care for the implant” (Cochlear Implant, n.d.). In addition, “children often require years of extensive aural rehabilitation” (Cochlear Implant, n.d.). Not only is this procedure time consuming with the care and rehab required of the surgery, it is also very expensive, with costs exceeding $40,000 (Cochlear Implant,…

Many critics believe that Pink is encouraging and luring young girls into buying adult lingerie and undergarments with the Pink label.
