Santorini, Greeceby Rok Ting - Editorial

During my trip to Greece in 2007, I visited Santorini. It is a beautiful island in the southern Aegean Sea. The architectures

on the island feature the two characteristic colours of Greece - blue and white. The rst picture (top-most) was the

church at Oia facing the Aegean Sea. Its one of the famous photogenic place. The second picture (bottom-right) was

taken during the sunset at Fira, capital of Santorini. The third picture (bottom-left) was taken at the Kamari Beach. The

chairs and umbrellas also feature the countrys national colours.

I love the blue, it's so inviting.

Sallys Sunsetby Nor Ashikin - E-Pub

A girl name Sally has always wished to see the sunset. On her 18th birth-

day, her family brought her to East Coast Park. As she walked on the soft

sands, leaving footprints behind, the summer winds blew the clouds away

and the full splendor of the sunset was revealed. She was so happy to

see the sunset that she jumped with joy, the sands trapped in between

her toes.

Can't help wanting to jump

as well. The mood is clearin this entry.

Power of the Sunby Lesley Siau - Administration

No other living thing can really symbolise the power of the Sun other

than the sunower. Apart from beauty and grace, this ery bloom is also

an important source of food in the form of oil and nutritious snack. Now

you can see the beauty of the Sun with these photos of mine.

The yellow is simply

captivating. Great colourintensity.

The Frolicby Tsai Xin Rong, Cheryl - Editorial

It was a cool Sunday morning with an azure blue sky dotted with

magnolia white clouds. The warm rays of sun reecting against the

waters created an image that looked as if thousands of sapphires

laced the swishing waves. My cousin and I were frolicking by the sea. We

tried to build our own sandcastles and we ended up giggling at each

others failed attempts. Burying our feet in the cozy sand as we chitchat till the sun is high up in the sky. Hand-in-hand, we strolled along the

shoreline, leaving with a new sisterly bond forged between us.

Cheryl's interpretation ofthe beach is simply fun.

The Waitby Alison Law - Marketing

An early morning wait watching the breaking of dawn with reection of the

sea. The rising sun shining ever brightly amidst the cloudy sky above the

calming water and below it, the uttering tide waving in and out against

the rocky sandy beach capturing the smiling shine.

Alison had successfully

captured the warmth andbeauty of sunset.
