My Christmas and New Year's Break

The Beginning

I spent my Chirstmas day in Bandung. That day was kinda bad because I had to go to the hospital to cure my toe nails. My toe nails had white dirts. The doctor cleaned my toe nails and gave me some medicine.

Days In Singapore

On the 26th of December, my family went to Singapore. In singapore, we look around the mall and eat.

The Real Fun Just Began

On the 29th of December, my family went to Langkawi. We got a little bad start because the car we rent had a little problem. The car's brake didn't work. So, we went back to the airport to change car. The hotel that my family stayed in was far, but it also have good things. In front of our hotel was a beach. The water was very clean. Around the hotel was a forest.

30th of December

Jungle Tracking

In the morning, my father, my elder brother, my cousins and I went for a hike to the forest. In my opinion, the track was very insane. All we stepped were just rocks, soil, and branches of fallen trees. That time, we weren't lucky because during the night before, there was a heavy rain so, the soil was slippery. We went there with a tour guide and one other person. The tour guide explained many features in the forest. We saw 2 poison trees. The tour guide said that when the sap from the poison tree touches our eyes, we will be blind forever. The total hiking duratiuon was about 3 hours.

After playing golkart

Golkart

After lunch, my cousins, my elder brother and I played golkart. The track was very big. I was a newbie so I drived quite slow.

31st of December

The view from the boat during the mangrove tour

Mangrove Tour

Now the whole family have gathered. My family is going to go to the mangrove tour. We were provided two boats. The tour guide showed us various things. We were shown the Gorilla Mountain. The mountain is called the Gorilla mountain becaue it has a shape like a gorilla. We passed the snakes' territory. Then the tour guide showed us the old mangrove trees.

New Year's Eve Night

New year's eve party

We had a buffet dinner in the hotel. Then we had a party. When the clock strikes 24.00, everyone overjoyed. Then the real party began. About 10 minutes later, my family went back to the room because we needed to wake up early the next day.

Fun Was About To End

On the 1st of January, my family went back to Singapore. That night, we sent my elder brother to the airport because he needed to go back to college. The next day, my family went home to Bandung.
