Netball Injury!

Eight years ago I played a netball match at my school sports meeting.

It was the second half of the match. I felt tired. But I was doing my best to play well. A player from the other team threw the ball to another player and I tried to catch it. Suddenly I lost my balance, slipped and fell.

I don't remember anything about the next few minutes. My friends ran forward to help and took me to the rest room. I had leg wounds and was bleeding.

Teachers, friends and my mum cleaned my wounds, bandaged them and applied antiseptic.
It was so painful and I couldn't bear it!

I felt dizzy with the pain and the shock. It took nearly six hours to recover and it was the most unforgettable and painful experience of my life.

Seeing Malani

The day I saw my favourite celebrity, I was at a wedding. She is Malani Fonseka who you all know as the "Queen of the Sri Lankan Cinema"

I was chatting with my friends. Suddenly I saw my favourite film star glimmering in the huge crowd. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was dreaming. But it was true, the famous Sri Lankan actress was at the wedding!

She was wearing a very expensive black sari with silver borders, decorated with silver jewellery. I looked at her for a few moments and then tried to talk to her. But, unfortunately, a crowd gathered around her asking questions and trying to get her autograph.

She has forged her own path to the top of the film industry. She hasn't followed in anyone's footsteps. She got where she is today through her own talent. And that is why she maintains her top ranking in Sri Lankan cinema still.

Hand Injury

I was in a hurry to deliver a lunch packet to my aunt. There were no vehicles on the road apart from a bus which had stopped on my right.
When I was crossing the road a car suddenly came and knocked me over. I fell down and injured my hand.
The van driver took me to hospital and a doctor gave me some medical treatment.
After that I went home.
My hand took two weeks to heal.

Seeing Roshan and nearly meeting Saranga!

I went to a Roshan Ranawana concert with my friend. In the audience I saw Saranga Disasekara, the famous actor.
I wanted to get his autograph, but we didn't have a pen. So we were running around looking for one.
He saw us and looked at us as if he was wondering why these girls were running here and there.
Although he was taking photos with his fans, he noticed us!
But in the end we couldn't get his autograph....

Accident!

One day I went to see my sister by bike.
Suddenly a car turned right without signalling. There was nothing I could do. I was also turning right.
I couldn't control the bike and fell off.
People gathered round and took me to hospital.
It was two days before I came home.

Playing with Poison

When I was in Grade 8 we organised a drama.
The last scene of the play is where four friends drink some kind of poison thinking that it is honey. The four friends thought that the audience would laugh at this. But the audience got frightened, because they thought they had actually drank poison.
