Landslide near my house


On Saturday at about three o clock early in the morning my house had no electricity and it was blackout. Suddenly I heard a loud noise of helicopter. I was saying to myself that something on this hill which is where I live is not right, something bad had happen. Few seconds later I heard a phone call from my mom's friend. She said that there was a massive land slide and it wiped out all of the big houses and the main road is covered with large pile of earth. When I heard that news I jumped out of my bed and headed for my parents room. Suddenly my parents decided to walk down the hill and head to the site where the land slide. About half an hour later we were at the site. The land covering the main road is as tall as an airplane and we are all stranded on top of the hill with other people. I was shocked to see that site and started thinking that how are we going to get out of that hill alive. We started walking towards our house and when we reach home my mom's friend called us and mentioned about how to escape out of here alive. When we heard that news we stuffed our clothes inside our back pack and I stuffed my Ipod inside my pocket with my phone and headed to the Impian Selatan condominium where the military had broke through a big wall which led us through a jungle protected by the military. After about fifteen minutes of walking in the jungle I saw ruins of houses which was destroyed by the massive landslide. When we reach the Riverdale Apartment my cousin came and picked us up and we return to her house safely.

Few hours later we went to WS auto to rent a car. We return to Kuantan,Pahang where my mom's hometown. About three hours after a very long ride in that car we finally reached Kuantan at my aunt's house. We stayed there temporarily for three days and we return home to our house on the top of the hill.
We can't go to our house with our car because the main road have been covered with ruins of houses and cars, so that means we have to walk. After about half an hour of walking we reached home and my legs are dead because of exhaustion.

Great Wall of China


History is my passions and interests and have you ever heard The Great Wall of China? It was build by the first emperor of China Qin Shi Huang. This wall is to prevent enemies from invading and destroying his empire. The wall can be seen with a naked eye in outer space. In 200 BCE the construction of the wall begins and ended in 220BCE. . In 500 BCE the Mongolians which was the fastest army in the world and destroy the great wall. These Mongolians was lead by Genghis Khan.
Today the Chinese government reconstruct the great wall and it is available for tourist to visit. Two years ago when my family and I lived in China we went to Beijing. Beijing is the capital city of China and it is also where the great wall begins. My father and I climbed the massive wall. After one hour we only climbed about less than one kilometer.
