Last Wednesday, I came late to my school because I played playstation until 2.00 am in the
night. Because I woke up late.
I woke up about 6.30 am and the class would begin at 7.00 am. I ran to bathroom to take a
bath. I usually had breakfast after taking a bath, but on that day I did not do that.
I always went to school by my motorcycle. But on that day, I forgot where I put the key. So, I
went to the school by public transportation. It took me a longer time. I arrived at school at
7.15 am, I ran to my class but I saw my teacher had stood in front of the class to teach. I
entered my class and of course my teacher was angry at me because I came late.
Holiday in Karimunjawa
I spent my last holiday in Karimunjawa, Central Java with my friends. On the first day, I
arrived at Karimunjawa Harbor at 10.00 after a 12 hour trip with a bus and ferry boat.
After I arrived, I decided to take a shower and rest for a while. Then, I followed a trip with
our guide to explore a few islands around Karimunjawa.
On the next morning, we went snorkeling and explore more islands. We had fun, we also ate
good food.
On the last day, I went shopping for some souvenirs. After that, I went to the harbor at 11.00.
We arrived in Bandung at 23.00.
Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow
Cubs and the other animals.
In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great big line, so we had
to wait awhile to get in.
After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow Cubs. My brother
and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful.
At lunchtime Dad decided to cook a bbq. He cooked sausages so we could have sausage
sandwiches. Mum forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them plain.
In the afternoon, we visited the aquarium. My brother was excited to see the sharks and the
tropical fish. At the end of the day when we left we were going to go and get ice cream but we
decided we were too tired so we drove straight home.
I prepared an essay and idea to be presented at that event. The other participants also
helped me and gave me some idea for our comittee discussion.
I didn’t talk too much, but it was a good experience for me.
Last year, I was Eighteen years old. I had graduated from my senior high school and I
wanted to continue my education in Yogyakarta. I lived with my family in Cirebon for
eighteen years So, I would live alone there and it was a new experience for me.
went to Yogyakarta by train. Before I came to the train station, I did not know how to check-
in. All the procedures were so new to me. Fortunately, a security guard helped me and gave
me some directions to check-in. After that I entered the train and sat on the chair.
I listened to the song and I really enjoy when I was on the train. After 5 hours on the train , I
finally arrived in Yogyakarta. I would start my new life in Yogyakarta. I was really excited to
start my new adventure to the new city.
Fatigue
Last Friday was a tiring day. I spent the whole day doing lot of activities and had no time to
take a rest.
First, I went cycling to school in the morning. Then, I studied until 14.00. After school, I
went to football practice in the field.
After that, I went home and took a shower. Before getting ready to sleep, I remembered that
there were homeworks and some projects I still had to do.
I did my homework until 22.00 and finished some video editing for my project until 01.00.
Only until then, I could take a rest.
Those activities made me exhausted. Perhaps I will reduce my activites in the future.
My Grandpa's Hometown
Two weeks ago, my family and I were in my grandpa's hometown. It is our annual agenda
every holiday at the end of Semester. Unfortunately, it was the rainy season there.
It rained almost every day there. We didn't have enough time to visit some tourist places
there because of the rain. We had not enough sunlight even to dry up our laundry. As a
result, we just stayed at home almost all day long.
Seeing the condition, we decided to make an interesting activity indoors to spend the holiday
together. The activity we chose that day was making funny videos directed by me. Finishing
the videos, we edited them and uploaded them to youtube.
By doing this, we could kill our boredom of staying at home because of the rain and make a
creative activity instead.
One months ago, a friend of mine gave me a box of fried rice that she made by herself.
I was so amazed by how tasty her fried rice was. Itu encouraged me to learn how ti make
delicious fried rice. So, one week later I made one.
After school, I purposefully did not take a nap. Instead, I went to the kitchen and prepared all
the ingredients needed.
However, at that time I did not know how to make it or where to start.
So, I tried to find a recipe on Youtube. The, I found a video of a simple fried rice recipe that
had been watched by over 1 million viewers.
After watching the video once, I followed it according to the steps shown in the video. It took
me approximately 10 minutes of preparation and 30 minutes cooking.
When I finished cooking, I served the fried rice on a large plate. Afterwards, I served it for
the family.
My mother and father said that my fried rice was tasty. But, my brother said that it was too
spicy for him.
Turns out, cooking was an exciting activity. After receiving compliments from my mother and
father, I wanted make delicious food more and more.
Chaotic in the Market
Last month, I went to a traditional market to buy some daily needs. As usual, I went there
alone and brought a shopping list.
After arriving at the market, I started searching for the things I needed one by one. While I
was bargaining the price of some fruits, I saw a crowded situation where there was a thief
beaten by a lot of people. It was so terrible. I didn’t want to see the condition get worse so I
called the police. A few minutes later, police came and calmed down the situation. Asking the
fruit seller, I knew that the thief tried to steal someone’s wallet but someone saw him and
shouted loudly. After that, suddenly many people roughed him up.
It was a scary moment I experienced and I hoped that it would never happen again in the
future.
Last week, the rain was falling so heavily. I found that there were some leaks on the roof. To
fix it, I needed a ladder so that I could climb up to the roof. It was Sunday at 2 in the
afternoon, I brought the ladder and set it up to the roof. Water from the leaks made the
foothold wet. At that time, I was too confident and not careful. I thought I was strong enough
to avoid slipping.
When the ladder became wetter, I already felt the slippery surface. However, I did not pay
attention and kept climbing. A disaster came when my brother forgot to hold the ladder. As
soon as he turned away, I suddenly lost my balance. Only seconds afterward, I slipped from
the ladder and fell to the floor. It happened so fast that I needed several minutes to realize
what was really going on.
Then, my two elder brothers checked me out and asked if I was okay. After that, they carried
me to a more comfortable place. Later on, they gave me first aid. Finally, I was brought to
the nearest doctor so that I got proper medical attention. It was my fault that I was not
careful with the hazardous situation.
