My Family

Image
The place where life begins  and love never ends A family is a group of people mostly living together and sharing an emotional bond. There are large and small families, and they can be nuclear or extended. Families made up of a mother, a father, and their children are called nuclear families. A family consisting of mother, father, children and grandparents is called an extended family. I live in a joint family. There are six members in my family which includes father, mother, sister, grandfather,  grandmother and me.  We all live happily and peacefully together. My family has been always by my side in ups and downs. They have taught me how to be a better person. For me, family is the first school in my life.  My father's name is N.A.Sisira. He is an Executive at Aitken Spence Company. He is a very kind hearted, brave, humble and an honest person. He works hard to sustain the family.  My mother's name is Achala Kumari.

Last School Trip

An Unforgettable Day In School Life Four years ago, a two-day trip was organized by the art section of my school, Gampaha Rathnawali Balika Vidyalaya. This trip was the last trip of our school life. Therefore so many memories were gathered during this trip and it was an unforgettable trip in my life.  All students came to school at 4.30 a.m. We started our journey at 5.00 a.m. We took our breakfast in the bus. First we went to Peradeniya Botanical Garden at 1.00 p.m. We saw various types of beautiful flowers and trees and we took lot of pictures of them. Then we had lunch and left the garden at 4.00 p.m.  Next we went to Gregory Park. We had a lot of fun there. We sung songs, danced and did many many fun things. As I think Lake Gregory is among the best places to visit in Nuwara Eliya. After having fun we went to the cottage. We had our dinner at there. After the dinner me and my friends watched a horror movie and went to sleep. It got colder at night and it was quite difficul...

My Hometown

 Wattala Wattala is my Hometown and I am deeply in love with my hometown. I grew up in this area since I was born. It is a large suburb of Colombo city, in Western Province, situated around 9 km from Colombo city centre. Around Wattala, there are many villages and towns, such as Kerawalapitiya, Hendala, Hunupitiya, Bopitiya, Elakanda and etc.   I think wattala is a great place for me for many reason. Wattala is a densely populated area. Having all the facilities at hand, makes daily activities easy. Schools, Banks, Supermarkets, Bakeries, Restaurants, Cafes, Hospitals, Private  dispensaries it’s all there in around Wattala. The town is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet it is a key urban centre with all the conveniences and facilities. There are many Churches, Buddhist temples, Hindu temples, Mosques are spread throughout the area. Though it is a majority Roman Catholic area, people of many faiths live here in peaceful.  Wattala has a combination of Gov...

My Hobbies

Image
My Leisure Time Activities Leisure is the time when a man is free from routine work and can do whatever he like best. In a word, it is a temporary relief from the monotonous routine task of our daily life. People like to spend their leisure in their own way.  Different people have different hobbies in their leisure time. Having a hobby is an essential thing for human life. Because, today all the people lead a hectic life. They have very little time to spend with their family. Therefore, they feel very lonely. Hobbies are very helpful to relax our mind and decrease our stress. I have many useful activities to do in my leisure time, such as playing musical instruments, shopping, listening to music, reading books, gardening, watching television and etc.  Among them playing musical instruments is my most favorite hobby. First I started playing the organ when I was ten years old and still really enjoy it. it’s a perfect way to relax and cheers me up when I’m feeling down. And one o...

School Life

The Happiest Period of  My Life  My school days were the best of my life. I still remember the first day of school very well. My first school was Nayakakanda Primary Girls School . Its memories are still alive. I still remember how warmly I was welcomed on the first day of school. And I cried like a little baby that day. As a child, I learned many important things from my school. Not only that, many teachers in the school loved me very much. That's why I will never forget the memories of my primary school life. After that I attended to Wattala Good Shepherd Convent from 6th grade. I studied in that school from 6th grade to 11th grade. I think it's a beautiful time for all of us. I spent most of my school life in that school. I have learned many lessons in my life from that school. Especially discipline. As a girl I should say discipline is a must. It's like a jewel .   Wattala Good Shepherd Convent I studied well in that school and also participated in many  extracu...

Be Smart With Smartphone Smart Phone ; There is hardly anyone who doesn't know it. And also there is hardly anyone who hasn't used it. Because it's one of the most viral topics and it's a product used by many people in world today.  Nowadays, technology is really advancing and it is becoming an essential part of life. The smartphone has become an indispensable thing for me. And it has become a very important means of communication these days.  All people around the world are using smartphone, but people of our age are using smartphone the most.  Many students like me can learn from online material. For example, a few months ago schools were closed due to the corona virus. Smart phone was very important for us at that time. especially most of the people were studying from home through zoom technology. Most of what I do on my smartphone is surfing social networks. But many people are tempted to abuse it.  However, we must know how to use the mobile phone in a good way....

CHOIR

St. Joseph Church Choir - Kerawalapitiya Singing is an essential part of worshiping God. Speaking of which, the choir is indispensable part of it. "Choir"... what does it means? It's a group of people who sing together, for examples in church or public performances.  A mixed choir is normally composed of women and men. There are so many types of choirs. Such as Bach Choir, Symphonic Choir, Gospel Choir, Vocal Jazz Choir. But to me church choir is the most important type. Because I'm a humble member of a St. Joseph Church choir.  There are three choirs in our church. Those are Kids choir, St. Joseph choir and St. Cecilia choir. And I'm the organist of St. Joseph Choir. It's a youth choir. As I remember it has about twenty members. To me it's not just a choir, it's a big family. We talk, we laugh, we eat together and we practice hard when we gathered. I always love to practice with them. I was a member of this choir since I was fifteen. The time that has...

Easy Breezy Cheesy Pizza  As one of my favorite foods, Pizza is one of the most delicious foods in the world in my opinion. Do you agree with me?                                                              Pizza is a dish of Italian origin consisting of a flattened disk of bread dough topped with some combination of oregano, tomato sauce, cheese, meat and many other ingredients. And also Pizza toppings are packed with compound called Glutamate , which can be found in the tomatoes, cheese, pepperoni and sausage.                                                             Pan, Stuffed, Square Cut (Thin) are the three styles of pizza. But to me it's a little slice of paradise. As a p...
