I lived in old Tsui Lam estate in the early 90s. I grew up and met many good neighbors there. When I was born in 1993, my mum told me that many close neighbors had come to celebrate. They gave me good wishes and precious presents. Especially, a lovely pillow was given by an old couple, and it accompanied me for a long time. 

It is just a common pillow, which has a shape of the rectangle. And the colors of the cover are mild, fancy pink and purple. There is a lovely, friendly pink bear with big, cute eyes, placed on the cover of the pillow. I can still remember the warm hearts and balloons near the bear. The pillow is quite special because of its size. It is very tiny and light since it is prepared for babies intentionally. I am one of them. 

I can still feel the touching of my pillow. I guess it is made of cotton or soft sponge as it is extremely soft. When my fingers swept the surface, I could feel the comfort, smooth fiber which was mild like silk and harmless to babies’ skin. Also, if you press and stretch it, you would know that it is so thin and fragile. Maybe the pillow is ordinary somehow. It has great meaning to me. 

Although it looks so tiny and fragile, it looked after me in many nights. When I was young, I always imagined that there would be scary monsters and ghosts in the night. Those ghosts and monsters would use their hands to catch and hurt me. Then the evil would come to me. This pillow who accompanied me for my whole childhood can give me a strong sense of security. It protected me from the horror every night. What a loyal security guard!

And she has a childish name called “Meow Meow”, named by my older sister. I usually hugged her and talked to her every time I slept. She is my very best friend and I truly love her. Sometimes, I worried that she would feel cold in winter and thus share my bedquilt with her. I did not want her to get cold as she was so important to me. Now I think the idea is very childish. Apart from that, I think she could feel my emotions and give me soundless comfort when I cried on my bed. 

But when I was 15, after I moved to the new house, I have made a wrong decision- I threw impulsively my old and dirty guard away. I soon feel regret for losing her forever because she represents my whole childhood and the precious relationship between me and my old neighbors. Now, I have moved to a new estate and have very few contacts with my new neighbors. I miss my pillow and those times playing with my neighbors. (485 words)

I am so sure that you have watched titanic, which I think is the best movie in the world. And I fall in love with one of its character, Jack. He is a charming guy who can create beautiful drawings. Apart from Titanic, my second favorite movie is Les miserable. The characters sing from the beginning till the end. Why I talk about these two movies? The first reason is I love watching movies. It is wondrous to live in the world of imagination and I can feel the emotion of those characters. The second reason is I share the same interests with them, which are drawing and singing. In daily life, I can always relieve and find calm through these two activities.

But when I ask my friends about my talents, it is miserable that the answer won’t be either singing or drawing. And I believe that they would come to the same answer-my talent is playing piano. Chopin, Mozart and Beethoven are my friends since I was eight. And now Debussy and Bach become my friends too, though our friendship is unidirectional. To describe my music talent, I have a strange sense called absolute pitch. I can recognize the music note through listening and I can play the song which I have listened for several times (may be more) on the piano immediately. But if you ask my mum about my talents, it must be arguing with her.

Being a realistic Hong Kong citizen, I would say I want to have a well-paid job in order to support my family’s finance after graduation, and I also desire to have my own house before thirty (which is a mission impossible). Once I earn enough money, I wish to have a boat and travel around the sea alone to release my soul. But before that, I have to learn swimming.
