The worst event in my life so far



I thought I would be the happiest person after I passed my driving test. I had worked very hard to pass the test. I am a very good driver, or I thought I was. Always my friend and I were talking about accidents, but unfortunately, it happened to us.

We know that accidents happen every time, but I couldn’t imagine it happened to me  the first week after I passed the driving test. On Tuesday after I finished the college I went to my home and changed my clothes. Then, my friend and I went to Al Marina Mall; we had so much fun there. Later at 9:30 pm we went to home but unfortunately, a bad thing happened. I was speeding above 130 and suddenly, a car come and hit me on my side; I lost the control. At that moment I thought it would be my last 5 mins in my life. Then, I turned the steering to the left side and I hit the wall; after that, the car started to break up on the ground. I lost the feeling and I lost everything, I was like the dead man. But I was very lucky because of the seatbelt that I put on before the accident just 5 minutes before.

I learned from this event that accidents happeb at any time, and I realized that the seatbelt is the most important thing in the car and saves a life or reduces the injury.

Hedley's journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, when Hedley was a young man, with his wife and daughter Kate, they visited the Niah Caves in Sarawak by three different kinds of transport such as driving a car, small boat, and a large ferry.
The journey started in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and they drove a car to the border of Sarawak. There were two large rivers, so they went across the rivers by a ferry to Niah. After that, they hired a boat to reach the government rest house, where they wanted to stay and have a rest.
The next morning, they started to walk along a jungle trail for approximately 30 minutes, till they reached the Niah caves. The caves were very high and they had the opportunity to see men who scraped off birds’ nests and put them into sacks.
That afternoon they said goodbye to their new friends and went back home.
