Some people come to a stop and cause a bit of a traffic jam‚ but the others simply continue to flow around them. Mixed emotions float in the atmosphere. I notice a child crying. She is saying goodbye to her father who is obviously going away for a while. Tears run down a mother’s cheek‚ who is welcoming her son home. The reflection of a business

in your life describes you? The artifact in my life that best describes me will be my thick red diary. I started to keep a diary when I was in Primary 6. I got the diary in a lucky draw which I think because of fate as I had never wanted to start a diary or planned to write one. When I got the diary‚ I had the sudden urge to start one because of the flowery-decorated cover with each pages scented.

• “Straight Outta Compton‚” an exultant rap-to-riches story about the group N.W.A.‚ opens with a blast of action-film braggadocio.
