I would like to speak about something that I received for free. Back when I was in high school, when I was in Fong Tuung, I did so well in mathematics and there were some presents that you want to be given. It was a visiting day and all the parents were invited. So I was called out to receive the best performing student in mathematics. I received something that was wrapped with a paper and I could not tell what it was. After receiving I went straight to the hostel to check what was the gift. I found it was a gold watch. I was so shocked because I never expected that. I went out screaming and I alerted all the students about my present. I was so happy and excited and I have kept that watch until today. Although it is not functioning, I have it for remembering. Having seen looking at it just triggers, just transport me back to the moment and I feel that it is something that I should keep forever because it is my treasure.

I would like to speak about something that I received for free. Back when I was in high school, when I was in Fong Tuung, I did so well in mathematics, and there were some prizes that I wanted to be given. It was a visiting day, and all the parents were invited. I was called out to receive the award for the best performing student in mathematics. I received something that was wrapped in paper, and I could not tell what it was. After receiving it, I went straight to the hostel to check what the gift was. I found it was a gold watch. I was so shocked because I never expected that. I went out screaming and alerted all the students about my present. I was so happy and excited, and I have kept that watch until today. Although it is not functioning, I have it for remembrance. Just looking at it triggers memories and transports me back to that moment. I feel that it is something I should keep forever because it is my treasure.
