Differences and similarities between Lamb to the Slaughter and Way up to Heaven

Firstly, the difference of the two stories, lamb to the slaughter and way up to heaven, is of course the way the wifes in the stories killed their husbands. In lamb to the slaughter, Mary Maloney used a frozen lamb leg. It was indeed a special and unique weapon to use. In the way up to heaven, Mrs Foster had used the broken lift in her house to kill her husband. Although she knew that the lift in her house was broken, she did not tell her husband delibrately and went overseas, causing the death of Mr Foster. For lamb to the slaughter, Mary could not take the blow that Patrick Maloney wanted a divorce but for the way up to heaven, Mrs Foster was very angry at Mr Foster for causing her anxiety and made him trap in the broken lift for 6 weeks, which would definitely cause his death.

Secondly, the similarities between both stories is that both the wifes, Mary Maloney and Mrs Foster, were very faithful and loved their husbands a lot. However, they were delibrate to kill their husbands due to some matters that they could not take. They were both mentally prepared of the outcome and planned out the procedure carefully and did not leave any evidence. Overall, they were satisfied with the outcome and even giggled a little.

Personally, I think that both stories are very interesting, I'm sure that many of you would like the story too if you had read it! Although the ending was quite sad, the whole plot and the procedure of the killing are very exciting.

Hwa Chong Chinese New Year Celebration!

Yesterday, I celebrated my first Chinese New Year celebration in Hwa Chong! I expected it to be longer, but who knew, it ended quite early! There were many exciting events, example the lion dance and the orange peeling contest! However, I already heard the MCs rehearsing the day before during the badminton training. After the celebration, I went back to Henry Park with my ex Henry Park friends. I had the laksa there which I miss a lot! I always eat it in my primary school days. =P I guess everyone should have try of it, haha.
