Snow white, a rather interesting fairy tale, but yet amusing to me. Since I am a teenager, the story itself was not the purpose i wrote this, it was the unexplainable flaws done by the queen in the story. After several viewing of the show, I finally concluded an outcome to answer the "why" in my question. According to me, I believe that the all bad no good evil queen is a caring stepmother. Here are some evidents to support my beliefs.
First of, Snow White was exile from the castle and so called being chased by the Queen. However, if the Queen really wanted Snow White to die, she would have just sent out a bounty on her, or order a hit on her. Fortunately, Snow White was saved by a bunch of dwaft during her escape. The seven dwaft kindly accepted her arrival. Are the dwafts the queen's henchmen, sent out to protect her? I asked myself this because it seem so coincident that they accepted Snow White without second thought.
Another ridiculous flaw that the queen had made was the poison apple. The queen took all the trouble to brew a useless poison that can only camatose Snow White and the poison can be broken by true love's first kiss. If I were the Queen and really wanted her to die, I might as well go dig out some unuse rat poison from the corner of the kitchen and smeared it onto the apple. Rat poison is tasteless, effective and kill for sure, a very nasty poison to top the lovely red apple. Well, maybe the queen did not take chemistry lessons and therefore brewed a poison that fortunately, cannot kill. Someone might say that but, even the most retarded person will have not mistake in brewing a poison. Just add all sorts of cleaning agents into the brew and Snow White is history. But that brew miraculously can be cured by a kiss from one's true love. Not even a first class pharmacuetical can pull that off. The queen must be something else.
Well, I do have a thought in mind. Maybe the queen purposely set things like that. From the day Snow White exile from the castle to her marriage and of course, the queen's death were all the queen's plan on paving a wonderful life for Snow White. The poison that can be cured by a kiss, the seven dwafts, and the fact that the queen did not sent out an entire army to hunt her down definately prove otherwise. So, do you agree that the queen from snow white the story, was indeed a caring and loving stepmother.

Story about war. SPM 2008, Question 4
In the year 1987, there was a war that engulfed the world, the South Pacific war, commonly know as the Black War. The war was started by an economy crisis the shrouded throughout the entire South Pacific countries. Hulphaine, the country that suffered the worst lost, lost it's government by a coup de'tat staged by some radical right hand politician. In the year 1987, with the discovery of natural resources in Kanarine, Hulphine began to invade it's neighbours. Each country, fell quickly to the overwhelming military power of of Hulphine. In just few days, Kanarine lost all it's territories the the offensing country. With that, Kanarine's government placed all their hopes on a joint attack with Alquatia and other few countries to push back Hulphine.
The war itself was not the reason I brought up this story. It was a friendship that lied inside this war between two soldiers. This pair of friends played together since childhood, both entered the same elementary and grauduated from the same high school. This unseparatable pair was the reason I rised the curtain of my story. I wanted you all to witness this war through them. The story of these two men. It all began in a Boot Camp located south of Kanarine.
This is where these two soldier trained. During their training program, Hulphine have not declared war on Kanarine. Te air still smells of peace and tranquillity. However, that fact never limit these two men in their training progress. Both of them were declared as the most effiecient soldiers ever produced in that camp. They were most skilled in close quater combat, knife combat, rifle assembling, long range sniping and real time tactics. The only one who dares enough to challenge them in a fight during training is one of them themselves. Other soldiers will always be amazed by the performance they pulled out together.
After a few months, small arms battle broke out in the border of Hulphine and Kanarine. At first, small skirmish was reported, but later it was found out that Hulphine was performing an espionage in Kanarine. However, it was already too late. Hulphine declared war and striked in a full scale invasion. Respond to that, the company those two were assigned was sent to front line to defend against three regiments of troops. It was a suicide mission.
Those two strived across the bullet ridden battlefield to survive. Being deployed to countless battles, soon, even with their extraordinary capability, two of them were tried over the chain of battles. Even so, they will not let up and give in to those dirty Hulphinian to defile their land. One night, Hulphine launched a pre-emptive strike to their camp. The entire company of men was wiped out. However, those two managed to sneaked pass the Hulphine and tried to make their escape to the north, where the headquarter was located.
After a mile long run, they were spotted by some remnants of Hulphine soldiers. Two of them swiftly took the soldiers down with headshots. Unfortunately, one of them was shot in the lower abdomen. The other one paid no attention to the incoming troops and quickly bandaged the wound with his first aid kit. Upon realising of the incoming troops, he took out his satchel charge, laid it down and surround it with frag grenades. He then pulled his wounded partner to a safe distance and triiggered the charge when the troops step onto his trap. The remaining troops were confused by the explosion and both of them quickly make their escape.
After some crossfire, they made it back to an encampment along the road. The two of them held one over another to force their tried bodies to the camp. In the end though, one of them died. Not the one who was wounded in the lower abdomen, it was the other one, who was shot in the back for blocking his best friend. The other one was sad, but continued his duty as a soldier till the end of the war, in 16th March, 1988, when the Hulphinian right hand party was thrown down by it's citizen.
So now you know story of the two men who were best friend in that war but were seperated by death of one of them. Still, I will not forget that you have saved me and what you meant to me. Hope you rest in peace, my friend. May we be friends again in the next life. I will continue to live on the life you gave me as i now realise the value of a true friend.

Life
What is life? Is it the ability of continuation existence in this tiny world? Or perhaps the time you spend is worth of as you see fit? Perhaps, to someone, life is like sunlight shrouded by thick dark clouds, where one is trying to seek the light through these clouds. Someone might even suggest that life is just a mere punishment from god by trapping one's soul in a body where he or she can feel pain. Some say that it is a gift that everyone should be appreciated of. Which one of it is true? It is entirely up to oneself on what is life. For me, i was not sure what life is, till the day i die.
It was a rainy evening in Kuala Lumpur, I was seating on a bench outside of a hospital, looking at the grey, cold sky, remeniscing about the past. Since young, I was administered into a hospital due to a seizure and it was found out that I have a weak heart. The doctor told my parents that i will not reach to the age of eighteen. That time, typical parental behavior, my parents did not told me about this. And as for me, spending the remaining few years of life without the conscience of my heart weakness, and the fact that I am going to die.
Not for long, I learned of my remaining life from eave-dropping on my parents conversation at the age of seventeen. At first, I was sad, knowing that I am going to leave my friends and family. But then I realised that it was not that bad, at least I know when I am going to die, so that i can make all the necessary preparation before dying. I wanted all my friends and family have a piece of memory of me. I wanted to spend time with them so that they will not regret losing me.
I bought presents for all my friends, spend some time with them in the mall, and even help them out in thier studies. My friends, of course, suspected my actions and often asked me what is wrong. Some of them even sarcastically asked that am I going to die. Still, the fact that I am going to die is confined and only my parents knew about it. So, I do not blame them for saying that I am going to die. I would ocassionally smile at them and say,"Maybe I am going to die.", but none of them take it seriously.
My parents, to spend some last moment with them was the most difficult part since I cannot allow them to know that I was awared of my situation. However, the difficulties in that matter no longer obstruct my objective when my parents started to take me out as often as possible after my seventeenth birthday. They looked rather cheerful but i knew they were acting. They will bring me to see every event that was held, eat the food that they came to thier mind, buy all the things that I wanted and played with me all day long. To make them believe that i knew nothing about my short life, i would always asked them why are they spending so much time on me. Their reply was simple, "Because we love you.", which is unbearable.
About two month later, i was struck with a seizure. Since then, i was not alllowed to leave the hospital. Everyday, I will be lying on my bed, waiting for the next dose of medicine to suppress the pain. My parents would kept on telling me that everthing is fine, so that i will not worry. I would comforted them by changing the topic of my sickness to the happy moments we have together. On the day i die, i was on my death bed, where all my friends and family were surrounding me, crying. I stayed strong by not crying and told my parents that actually i am awared of my situation. I even told them not to worry as dying does not mean that i am gone forever. "I will always be in your heart."., I said. Before taking my last breath, I asked myself, "What is life?". My answer is, "The moment where you can spend time with the one you want.". That is life.
