ESSAY OF STORY BEGINNING

Write a story beginning with "It was a warm night and I...."

       
           It was a warm night and I wide awake in my bedroom.The round moon and blinking stars looked very nice in the sky.There a cold wind was blowing outside.So,I opened the window to breath the fresh air.I also bursted with excitement and felt relieved,to see the yellowish moon and stars in the bluish sky while I was lying down on the bed which is near to the windows.

          A while later,I heard a scraping sound on the window sill.I opened my pair of eyes wide as I saw a black figure standing on it.I prefended to be asleep.The figure checked the cupboards and drawers.Finding nothing of value,he left the room as quiet as a mouse and went to the passageway.I was at sixes and sevens when he wanted to out from my room.Then,I decided to follow him.I took my brother's bat and crept which was placed beside my bed,soundlessly behind,keeping a distance away and not making a single sound.I kept an eye on his moves.

         The figure went into the study room.Peering from the open door,I saw him ransacked the drawers.I knew there was no money or valueble papers in the house.All of them were kept safely by my parents in bank lockers.So,I did not bother about that and I hid beside a cupboard while still clap eyes on him.He seriously was searching for something but he couldn't found that.He looked very hyper because he can't find anything precious.

          The burglar left the study and went into my parents' room.I crept as near as I could and I saw the man took out a long dagger and was about to stab my mother.Without a thought or a moment's hesitation,I ran towards him and hit him hard on the head and he fell down on the floor,unconsciously.Immediately,I thought want to alert my parents who were sleeping like sleeping beauties.

          The commotion woke up both my parents.Quickly,my father rang the police and within minutes,the police arrived.Then,they handcutted the burglar.The policeman praised of my braveness to hit the burglar.The burglar felt ashamed on his act and he realized his offense.Before his act,he should thinked first about the future.There were no chance to change everything had happened and he must get back the punishment of his react.

          Finally,we were safed from the horrible burglar and felt better after we knew that nothing was lost at home.Things returned to normal.I rejoined,"I shall never leave my window open,no matter how hot it is".Since that incident,I be on red alert and I also apologized to my parents.This is an infliction to myself.Until now the adverse events cannot be ignored by me.

My Ideal Birthday

         Growing  up  my  most  favorite  day  of  the  year  would  be  my  birthday. Every year I look forward for my birthday. To  me  my  birthday  is  my  special   day  where it’s   all  about  me. I  love   the  fact  that  it  is  a   day  where  my  closest  family  and   friends can  come  together  to celebrate  this  day  with   me. I  love  everything  about  birthdays, from decorations  to  presents, I  love  them  all. Although  I  have  enjoyed  every  single  one  of  my birthdays, my  sweet  sixteenth  was   one  of  the  greatest. To  my  surprise  my  parents  decided to  celebrate  my sixteenth  birthday  with  all  my  family, relatives  and  friends on forteenth April this year. My  sixteenth birthday  was  truly  an  important  one  as  it  was  a  mark  of   passage  that  I  was  heading into  the  world  in  my  late  teens. I  was  excited  the  idea  of  celebrating  my  birthday  in  my  house. I felt over the moon.

          Sweet sixteen party only come with meticulous planning. First  of  all, my  brother  and  I  made  a  list  of  all  the  friends  and  relatives  that  I  wanted  to  call  and  then  made  a  card  to  send  to  each  of  my  friends  and  relatives. The  contents  of  each  card  were  different  so  as  to  suit  the  taste  of  the  particular  friends  and relatives  to  whom it  was  sent. My  mother  helped  me  to  fill  them  up  with  names.Then,I also  sent  some  of  invites  through  social  networks  such  as  Facebook,Whatsapp,Wechat,Twitter  and  e-mail. After  the  invitations, we  planned  to  decorate  the  house  a  day  before  the  celebration. My  neighbours,family,close  friends  and  I  decorated  the  house.

         So, we began to decorate the house in the afternoon. Before  that, my  mother  took  me  to  the  market  and we bought balloons and streamers, twinkle  lights  and  ribbons  to decorate  the  house  with. We  ordered  the  cake  and  bought  wrapping  paper  along  with  the return  presents. As we reached home we sat down to work. We  put  up  the  streamers  with  tape  and  hung  the  balloons  all  over  the  walls  and  on  the  fans   and   doors and windows. We also decorated with colorful ribbons and twinkle lights. After the decorations the house was really deck out. There  were  canopies in front  of  house  too.Then,we  arranged  the  round  tables  which  covered  by  red  color  table  clothes  and  chairs  covered  by  white  clothes. My  father  ordered  food  from  Kassim  cathering.The  main  foods  are  all  my  favorites  such  as  Indian  food  varieties  and  Indonesian  food  varieties.There  had  also  dessert as ice-cream,sweets,cakes  and  so on.My  aunty  arranged  the  gifts  bags  creatively  in  a  round  table. The gift bags content some sweets and a cute Barbie doll for  girls  and Transformers toy  for  boys.The  purpose  of  giving  gift  bags  is  to  thank  them  for  coming  to  the  party.

        At 7.30 in the late evening, the guests started to pour in. My  mother  ordered  a  beautiful  dress  to  a  famous  designer  for  my  sixteenth   birthday  party. The  dress  was  very  nice  and  it  was  blue  in  color  which  is  my  favorite  colour.The  designs  of  the  dress  was  really  looked  like  a  million  dollars. I  just  was  bursting  with  excitement  to  wear  the  dress  and  about  others  comments  after I  weared  it. After  I  went  out  to  cut  the  cake  all  were  whispering  about  my dress  to  each  other. One  of  the  guest  told  that I was dressed  to  kill.Then,I  cut  round and  big  moisture  chocolate cake. Before  that, all  the  guests  sang  a  special  birthday  song  for  me  and  I  tried  to  blow  off  the  candles. As I  blew  the  candles, I  also  wished  that  may  my  life  be  bright  in  future. A  while  later, my  mother  cut  the  cake  into  a  few  pieces  and  share  with  the  guests. I  received  many  gifts from  the  guests  and  I  took  photos  with them  as  a  memory. My  parents  also  gifted  a  precious object  for  me. They  bought  tickets  for  a  vacation  during  school  holidays  to  Paris,France.I  felt  bless  one’s  lucky  star.

      A while later, the guests were entertained with varieties of delicious dishes. After  we  ate, I  had  planned  some  fun  games to  play  for  friends  and  also  children. There  were  games  such  as  musical  chairs, pin  the  donkey  tail  and  a  truth  or  dare  game. My  friends  and  the  children  were  as  playful  as  puppies.There also had lots of upbeat music that set the mood for an extremely fun time to dance together. At  the  request  of  my  friends, I  sang  my  favorite  song. I felt shy of a thousand.

      Lastly, we celebrated with fireworks. My  father   bought  many  types  of  fireworks  and  all were them also  colourful.Then,I  gave  away  gifts  bags  to  the  guests. They felt on the cloud nine and enjoyed. The party was rounded up by twelve o’clock in the midnight. I  bade  good  night  to  my  parents  and  went  to  bed  with  the  satisfaction  of  having  enjoyed  the  best  sixteenth  birthday party ever  of  my  life. I  slept  and  I  did  not  know  who  awakened  me  next  morning, but  I  felt  fresh  and  ready  to  do  my  day’s work. It is really an unforgettable day.
