Narrative - My Holiday


‘Kringgg.. kringgg’ . The bell rang loudly. The sign of happiness of student had been announced by the bell. All of student quickly packed their books and stationery into their bag. Once the gate was opened all the hostellers run to got their family. As I remembered , it kind of best feeling ever that you can meet your family after almost 6 weeks you had not seen them. People might said that these kind of student such a pampered child but they did not knew the feeling when a child longing for his or her mother and father. As for me, this is the quite long time to be with my family and had some joy and create some memories.


When the time I arrived at my house , quickly I ran to upstairs and search for my ‘Alvin’ . It is quite interesting name I gave to my little cute kitten. I just miss my kitten so much. I would bring him to garden every evening to meet it partner that belongs to my neighbor. Now was the time I spend time with my whole family. During the night after had our dinner, we watched movie together and suddenly my father told us that he wanted to had a vacation for a week . What a surprise things that he had said? As we knew, he was not typical of person that loved to have a vacation because he had very hectic schedule of work. Quickly, my mother said that she wanted to have a vacation in Johor Bahru which was my grandparent’s home. We felt very happy because it seems we had not meet them since last two month.

We had started our journey on the next day in the morning. Even though it just my grandparent’s house but I felt very happy because I do miss them as well. The first thing I done when arrived at their house, I hug them so tight. The most favourite thing that I do was swimming in the lake behind the house . The lake was so cold and calm . I used to be there because it was my place since my childhood. I brought my siblings and had fun with them there. As I remembered, I almost drown when I was five years old. My brother chasing me while running on the rock along the lake and finally I slip down the lake as the rocks were slippery.

As a only ladies in that house, my grandmother forced me to learn cook some of traditional food. I am not typical of person who likes to eat traditional food so much and it become the only reason I felt lazy to learn all those thing. On previous day, she had forced me to cook ‘Asam Pedas’ but I managed to escape from her task as I gone for shopping but on this time, I cannot escaped anymore. I had learn to cook so many dishes on that day. I think that it is not a hard things that I must escaped for doing it because it seems easy to cook when my grandmother be besides me. During that night, we had about a simple feast only to celebrate my ability to cook traditional food within only one whole day. We ate all the food together.

After spending our precious time with them, it was time to leave and come back to our hectic day. Being there with them such a gift from The Almighty. I managed to learn so many things and prove myself that I can be a good cook ! Now, I could tell my friends that I can be a new chef at the school as I took and learn Culinary course. As the saying say, there is no place like home. Be with family can give me calmness and joy.
