Singapore
I want to tell you about my memorable time in Singapore. It was one
of the best holidays I ever had.
I shall never forget the spectacular sight of the city. I saw from Mount
Fable that night. The roller-coaster ride, the stunts performed by the
dolphins and the killer whale at the Sea World were also exciting. I
shall remember the thrill of having been on one of the longest rides in
the monorail in Sentosa Island for many years to come.
I also enjoyed various varieties of seafood at the makeshift roadside
stalls at the Chinatown night market. I also enjoyed the shopping
trips. My family and friends agreed that the souvenirs were value for
money, especially the silk scarves with pretty prints and the attractive
key chains.
Morning, I go to School
My mom got me ready for school and then I had to wait
for him to brush my hair and put each piece in just the
perfect position. I had to show her my shoes that I had
cleaned the night before by me and my school bag
should be neatly placed on my shoulder before I could
get near the door in my room. Only after my mother was
completely satisfied, whether I would be allowed to rush
out of my house. I would leave home at 7 am at the
point and make your way down the path. After walking
about 500 meters I could see the tower of my high
school. Play will be full in the summer and the noise
would make me want to rush into the courtyard and into
a good game of football before the bell. that's how I now
want to go to school.

 Wonderful Beach, Parangtritis
Beach
Paragtritis beach was one of beach that I ever met beside Pangandaran , and Kute beach. I went to Parangtritis beach
when I was in senior high school. I went to this beach beside for finding the data for my final report; it was also used
to fill the holiday time.

The first impression when I arrived in Parangtritis beach was very beautiful and very extraordinary. It was because the
sea’s wave was so big and the sand on that beach was so white. Then, when I and my friends saw those things, we run
to that beach. Nevertheless, it was very hard for us when running. It was because I and my friends used sandals or
shoes when I and my friends run on the sands. For that, I and my friends decided to put off our sandals and shoes to
be put another area. After that, I and my friend run to the wave easily.

Then, one thing that I wanted you to know was when you would visit this beach. You might not wear shirt or skirt
(clothes) in green color. It was caused by the existence of myth in that area about the existence of Nyi Roro kidul, the
master in that beach. That myth was about if there were people who would visit this beach, they were forbidden to
wear clothes in green color, if those people opposed it. The people would get bad luck, or even that people would be
lost in the sea and their bodies would not be found.

From the myth above, I and my friends were not brave to wear cloth in green one when we playing in that beach.
Nevertheless, if there was anybody who worn the green, she/he changed into other colors. Then, if we did not bring
another cloth which had another color, we were no afraid. It was caused that we could find many stores which
provided clothes; especially cloth only was used on beach there. Besides, the facility above, I and my friends also got
other facilities like horse (it was used to go round the beach), surfing tools and others. I and my friends really enjoyed
that holiday.
My Busy Day

Last Monday was a busy day for me. I spent my time to do a lot
of activities from college to my home.
First, at the morning, I did my presentation's assignment with my
partner, she was Nurhidayah. It took 3 hours. And then we went to the
campus for joining lecture. But, the lecturer said that our presentation
would be started next week. It made us disappointed. The class was
finished at 12.30. After that, I had to go home because my
grandmother was in a bad condition. She was hospitalized. So, it was a
must for me to back home at that time. When I got there, there were
so many members of my family. There were about 10 people. My aunt,
my niece, my uncle and some of my cousins. We all hoped that our
grandmother would get better soon.
Those activities made my day busy.
