oOPs… still, another late entry. …but first i’ll paste my story with the characters from the “PEOPLE WATCH” assignment in.
People Watch Story
=========================================================
Leonard boards the bus and sits beside this nerdy guy calls Zhi Wei. He slams his bag onto his laps as he plops down hard on the seat. Zhi Wei turns and looks at him. Leonard, oblivious to the staring, eases himself comfortably on the seat. He starts to shake his hands a little, following the beat from the music playing in his ears. Then, he shakes vigorously as if drumming on a guitar. This time, Zhi Wei turns and stares at him hard.
‘Excuse me, you are disrupting me with your actions!”
Leonard retorts back, ‘I’m so sorry, but my hands just couldn’t keep to my side. I bet you don’t know about this kind of things…”
“Who says I don’t, I plays musical instrument too, k?’ Zhi Wei says back.
“Oh really, what you plays? I play the guitar and drums.” Then, Leonard begins to demonstrate with an imaginary drum set.
Zhi Wei hesitates for a while, “Well, guess this!” He then put his hands out and plays on his imaginary musical instrument.
Leonard laughs out loud, “I know, you learnt that in primary school, right? Everybody knows that, for goodness sake – it’s just a recorder.”

Hmm.. if the story seems to be of primary school standard, I’m not a primary school kid! The ending was probably nothing interesting or what, but my thoughts are stuck at the end, not knowing how to continue…….
I agree that characters are VERY important to a story… without them, a story would not work!!! However, i rather have a plot than having just the characters to start a story with. It’s much easier to me than with characters. Having a plot, we would roughly know what characters are needed thus its much easier to think of. If we only have the various characters, there are many possibilities of a plot and i do not have much creativity in me, its alot tougher! Also, a plot is whole lot more important than characters. Without a good plot, good characters means nothing too…
thoughts for the assignment for this week — a lETTER to the past… actually, i have already thought of what and whO to write to, till i discovered that the letter must be written to a person i no longer taLK to… aLl goNe for my thoughts… Now, i have to start over again thInking of thoSe pEople that i’ve lost contact with… even if there’s such a person to write about, its quite difficult to share out to others since its so personal……. but i finally decide on one of my best friend… sad to say, we lost contact even in the secondary school after we changed class… slowly, we have nothing to share or say to each other anymore.. Life has to go on anyway, and as time passes, we are always losing contact with the people we seldom see… its so sad… But due to the high technology, there is this internet with the e-mailing system… and there are so many e-mails going around out there about friendship now… One of them mentions that if you got something to say to the person, even if its a sentence saying i miss you or you are my best friend that kind of thing, say it now! No one knows what will happen the next day… probably we are not given the chance to say it the next day… *touch wood* so… if you love your friends, love your family members, tell them now!! Don’t wait on… Don’t expect them to know without you telling… =) *feels like i’m writing a e-mail now… anyway, such things arae quite hard to say out.. so there is this E-mailing thing and SMS to send your regards to them…
