Bermuda triangle

A legendary triangle of Ocean lies between 3 countries upon the Atlantic ocean. The Cities are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale. Ships, people and aeroplanes have been reported mysteriously disappearing off the face of the earth whilst travelling inside this triangle. It soon acquired the name "Devils Triangle" owing to peoples superstitions that the devil was at play on this stretch of ocean and gobbling up weary and lost travellers with great delight, but what actually was at play inside this triangle of rough water, is it really the devil?, or perhaps aliens are using this spot as their home base on earth. Maybe it really does contain a mystical vortex that sucks people down into a third dimension.

It was not long before ideas and suggestions started forming about this piece of ocean. M.K. Jessup wrote about the disappearances and gave ideas about alien intelligences being behind them in the book "The Case for the UFO. The view was also echoed by Donald E. Kyhoe who is noted for his "The Flying Saucer Conspiracy" of 1955. Frank Edwards (Stranger Than Science) agreed with the theory of aliens having a local hangout in the triangle as well. Finally a man by the name of Vincent H. Gaddis came up with the phrase "Bermuda Triangle".

Throughout the years it has featured in many many articles, books, television series and movies and always portrayed as a very real and mysterious thing, but anyone out there with any sense surely will ask themselves " how in this day and age could boats, planes and other travellers just go mysteriously missing in a certain piece of water?" "wouldn't an aeroplane full of international travellers be afraid to travel over this part of the ocean"....Well let me tell you I've always asked the same questions myself and I personally have come to the conclusion that the entire thing is nothing more than a myth hyped up over the years by wrong facts and silly overexaggerated stories told down through the generations of people willing to listen to any kind of mysterious story with a unknown edge to it.

Saturdy:

Nothing much happened on Saturday. I went for my tuition lessons for mother tongue regurlarly. After that, I went out for dinner with my family.

Sunday:

I do not have any tuition lessons on Sunday. I met with Zhi yu At block 190. We were getting ready for job week. Cyrus and Ivan came along too. Zhi Yu wanted to ask Miss Tay if she had a job for us but it turned out that she was still SEEPING!!! Me and Zhi Yu managed to earn $16. However, Ivan earned $15 and Cyrus earned $11.

Monday:

Mr Edgar Wong and Mr Chee asked to report to school for job week. They arranged us in gorups and gave the leader a map to tell us which block of flats we are suppose to go and where is it. At the last house, before we return to school for lunch, I scrubbed the toilet bowl. He wanted us to divide $5 among each other. Since there was four of us, (actually there are six of us but two of them wre at another floor.) and I scrubbed the toilet bowl, he gave me an extra $1. After lunch, we were sent out again. However, we managed to earn $1 at the end of the day.

Tuesday:

I woke up early to go to student care. At there, the primary 5 pupils played first as there were not enough classrooms. Other pupils were also playing at the same time as us but I do not know what level are they. (Wednesday and Thursdayare the same as Tuesday.)

At first, we gave the $2 to Mr Chee for the camp. Then we played a game but the first few teams get to play first. I was in gruop 14. (which is the last group.) Miss Suganthi (the brownie teacher) asked the rest of the groups to choose a cheer that we have learned before and change it a bit so that it supports our group. I was the leader so they repeated after me. In the end, we Won!!! After that we got our turn to play the game. We did not managed to finish the stations in time. Next, we played treasure hunt. The eachers give us a piece of paper filled with questions. We had to look all over the school to find the answers. However, we minused 10 points as we were the last group to assemble. Next was lunch. We had to cook our own instant noodles using a mass tin. After lunch, we had to wash the mass tin. Next was a first aid presentation. We had to answer questions during the power point slide. Next, was the campfire it was the investigure of the newly recruited cub scouts. They were suppose srecite the scout promise. They will come up and touch the national flag with their left hand and show the scout sign with their right hand. Next, Mrs Dhilon gave out the certificates for those who are appointed assistant sixer, sixer and senior sixer. I was appointed as white assistant sixer as I am only primary 5. There can only one senior sixer and it turned out to be Jonathan's brother. Lastly, the campfire was lighted by Mr Wong and we sang songs like campfire's burning, BP spirit, father abraham and peace like a river.

The Story of My Life

Hi everyone, this is Helen Keller's autobiography.You can read the rest of the story on http://www.afb.org/mylife/book.asp?ch=P1Ch1
Part I. The Story of My Life
Chapter I
It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history of my life. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting the veil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist. The task of writing an autobiography is a difficult one. When I try to classify my earliest impressions, I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present. The woman paints the child's experiences in her own fantasy. A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life; but "the shadows of the prison-house are on the rest." Besides, many of the joys and sorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy; and many incidents of vital importance in my early education have been forgotten in the excitement of great discoveries. In order, therefore, not to be tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches only the episodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important.
I was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a little town of northern Alabama.
The family on my father's side is descended from Caspar Keller, a native of Switzerland, who settled in Maryland. One of my Swiss ancestors was the first teacher of the deaf in Zurich and wrote a book on the subject of their education--rather a singular coincidence; though it is true that there is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.
My grandfather, Caspar Keller's son, "entered" large tracts of land in Alabama and finally settled there. I have been told that once a year he went from Tuscumbia to Philadelphia on horseback to purchase supplies for the plantation, and my aunt has in her possession many of the letters to his family, which give charming and vivid accounts of these trips.
My Grandmother Keller was a daughter of one of Lafayette's aides, Alexander Moore, and granddaughter of Alexander Spotswood, an early Colonial Governor of Virginia. She was also second cousin to Robert E. Lee.
My father, Arthur H. Keller, was a captain in the Confederate Army, and my mother, Kate Adams, was his second wife and many years younger. Her grandfather, Benjamin Adams, married Susanna E. Goodhue, and lived in Newbury, Massachusetts, for many years. Their son, Charles Adams, was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and moved to Helena, Arkansas. When the Civil War broke out, he fought on the side of the South and became a brigadier-general. He married Lucy Helen Everett, who belonged to the same family of Everetts as Edward Everett and Dr. Edward Everett Hale. After the war was over the family moved to Memphis, Tennessee.
I lived, up to the time of the illness that deprived me of my sight and hearing, in a tiny house consisting of a large square room and a small one, in which the servant slept. It is a custom in the South to build a small house near the homestead as an annex to be used on occasion. Such a house my father built after the Civil War, and when he married my mother they went to live in it. It was completely covered with vines, climbing roses and honeysuckles. From the garden it looked like an arbour. The little porch was hidden from view by a screen of yellow roses and Southern smilax. It was the favourite haunt of humming-birds and bees.

"Ivy Green," the Keller Homestead (showing also the small house where Helen Keller was born) (n.d.)
The Keller homestead, where the family lived, was a few steps from our little rose-bower. It was called "Ivy Green" because the house and the surrounding trees and fences were covered with beautiful English ivy. Its old-fashioned garden was the paradise of my childhood.
Even in the days before my teacher came, I used to feel along the square stiff boxwood hedges, and, guided by the sense of smell, would find the first violets and lilies. There, too, after a fit of temper, I went to find comfort and to hide my hot face in the cool leaves and grass. What joy it was to lose myself in that garden of flowers, to wander happily from spot to spot, until, coming suddenly upon a beautiful vine, I recognized it by its leaves and blossoms, and knew it was the vine which covered the tumble-down summer-house at the farther end of the garden! Here, also, were trailing clematis, drooping jessamine, and some rare sweet flowers called butterfly lilies, because their fragile petals resemble butterflies' wings. But the roses--they were loveliest of all. Never have I found in the greenhouses of the North such heart-satisfying roses as the climbing roses of my southern home. They used to hang in long festoons from our porch, filling the whole air with their fragrance, untainted by any earthy smell; and in the early morning, washed in the dew, they felt so soft, so pure, I could not help wondering if they did not resemble the asphodels of God's garden.
The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does. There was the usual amount of discussion as to a name for me. The first baby in the family was not to be lightly named, every one was emphatic about that. My father suggested the name of Mildred Campbell, an ancestor whom he highly esteemed, and he declined to take any further part in the discussion. My mother solved the problem by giving it as her wish that I should be called after her mother, whose maiden name was Helen Everett. But in the excitement of carrying me to church my father lost the name on the way, very naturally, since it was one in which he had declined to have a part. When the minister asked him for it, he just remembered that it had been decided to call me after my grandmother, and he gave her name as Helen Adams.
I am told that while I was still in long dresses I showed many signs of an eager, self-asserting disposition. Everything that I saw other people do I insisted upon imitating. At six months I could pipe out "How d'ye," and one day I attracted every one's attention by saying "Tea, tea, tea" quite plainly. Even after my illness I remembered one of the words I had learned in these early months. It was the word "water," and I continued to make some sound for that word after all other speech was lost. I ceased making the sound "wah-wah" only when I learned to spell the word.
They tell me I walked the day I was a year old. My mother had just taken me out of the bath-tub and was holding me in her lap, when I was suddenly attracted by the flickering shadows of leaves that danced in the sunlight on the smooth floor. I slipped from my mother's lap and almost ran toward them. The impulse gone, I fell down and cried for her to take me up in her arms.
These happy days did not last long. One brief spring, musical with the song of robin and mocking-bird, one summer rich in fruit and roses, one autumn of gold and crimson sped by and left their gifts at the feet of an eager, delighted child. Then, in the dreary month of February, came the illness which closed my eyes and ears and plunged me into the unconsciousness of a new-born baby. They called it acute congestion of the stomach and brain. The doctor thought I could not live. Early one morning, however, the fever left me as suddenly and mysteriously as it had come. There was great rejoicing in the family that morning, but no one, not even the doctor, knew that I should never see or hear again.
I fancy I still have confused recollections of that illness. I especially remember the tenderness with which my mother tried to soothe me in my waking hours of fret and pain, and the agony and bewilderment with which I awoke after a tossing half sleep, and turned my eyes, so dry and hot, to the wall, away from the once-loved light, which came to me dim and yet more dim each day. But, except for these fleeting memories, if, indeed, they be memories, it all seems very unreal, like a nightmare. Gradually I got used to the silence and darkness that surrounded me and forgot that it had ever been different, until she came--my teacher--who was to set my spirit free. But during the first nineteen months of my life I had caught glimpses of broad, green fields, a luminous sky, trees and flowers which the darkness that followed could not wholly blot out. If we have once seen, "the day is ours, and what the day has shown."
