My Last Holiday

Last month, I went to Pari island with my big family. That was my second time to travel
there. I did not remember my first time because I was still three years old.

Our boat departed from Muara Angke port to the island at 7.00 a.m. We arrived at Pari
island in approximately two hours. After that, we went to our guest house that we booked
two months ago. When we got there, almost all family members were busy unpacking. I
just sat in front of the guest house and did nothing. Then I realized that it was still 10 a.m.
So, I went out to rent a bicycle. My brother did not want to join me because he went to
sleep. He said that it was too shiny to do snorkeling.

We finally had lunch at 1 p.m. I was so hungry after cycling for an hour, and did not have
any snacks. After lunch, my brother said that he wanted to go snorkeling. But my parents
said it was too hot. Well, it was 2 p.m. So, they were right. It was still hot outside.

But my brother insisted on doing it. He then asked me and our cousin Irwan to join him
to do the thing he really wanted to do by the time we arrived there. It was snorkeling.
Irwan agreed and pushed me to join.

I did not know why I agreed to join them. When we went snorkeling, the fisherman who
became our guide brought us to the beach far enough from our guest house. We went
snorkeling there. The water was very clear. We could see groups of tiny fishes and
beautiful coral under the sea. After snorkeling cheerfully for approximately three hours,
we returned to our guest house.

When we were home, I realized that my back was so itchy. At first, I did understand why.
After my mother found out, she started to nag at me. It was sunburnt. I did not enjoy the
rest of the other days staying there.

In summary, my second trip to Pari island was not really better than my first. I would like
to visit this place again together with my family in another chance. But, I would not do
snorkeling at 2 a.m. for three hours anymore.

Bandung Trip
Last holiday, exactly two months ago, I went to Bandung with my best friend, Anna. We
decided to have a trip there for three days long. Luckily, I and Anna had the same interest
in places that we would like to visit. That made the trip easier and more fun!

We didn’t have any plans on the first day because we arrived at 5 p.m. by bus. At that
moment, we were tired and decided to have some rest in our hotel. Woke up in the
middle of the night, we realized we had missed dinner. But, Anna suggested ordering
food online and watching horror series together instead.

The next day, we rented a motorbike. After that, we visited a beautiful place named
Punclut. It was a little far from our hotel. But trust me, we were astonished the first
second we got there! The view was amazing and we couldn’t handle taking many
pictures. As time went by, it was getting colder so we had to warm ourselves by drinking
chamomile tea.

We had dinner at a seafood restaurant. Anna ate a bowl of fish soup while I enjoyed my
grilled salmon and green mussels. The taste was fantastic yet we knew that we were
satisfyingly full. On our way back to the hotel, we bought some traditional snacks from
Bandung to accompany us while binge-watching good movies.

Our last day came that fast. We packed our things in the very morning and took the last
trip to Farm House. After taking pictures, we moved to another place where we bought
more traditional snacks and souvenirs for our family members back home. At
approximately 5 p.m., we returned the motorbike and went home by bus.

Since we arrived at 12 p.m., Anna decided to sleepover at my house. We still talked about
our fun times in Bandung and shared pictures. We really wanted to go there next time.
Bandung was amazing after all.

Hunting Folklore
That time was exactly the day after my mom and dad visited me in Jatinangor. My two
best friends and I went to Sumedang City. At that time we had a class assignment,
namely Folklore or perhaps better known as myth. Our group chose several places to
research, namely the Prabu Geusan Ulun Museum and Mount Kunci. We departed from
Jatinangor at 7 am and arrived in Sumedang at 8 o’clock. Arriving at Sumedang, we went
straight to the first location, which is Mount Kunci. This mountain keeps a dark and
creepy story, during the Japanese colonial era, this mountain was used as a place of
slaughter.

Continuing to the second location, namely Geusan Ulun Museum, this museum is located
in the heart of Sumedang City. It contains several objects that are still believed to be
sacred.

It was getting late, we were still busy with the stories we got that day until we didn’t
realize that the last public transportation to Jatinangor had run out, fortunately, we had a
friend whose house was located not far from the center of Sumedang City.

Then we decided to call our friend, and luckily she was at home (she always comes home
on the weekends). Like scenes in movies and dramas, on the way to our friend’s house,
somehow it suddenly rains heavily. We decided to take shelter in a mosque while waiting
for the rain to stop. Almost an hour of rain and finally it stopped raining too. Like a
miracle, our friend picked us up. We stayed at her house.

In the morning, we hurried back to Jatinangor because there was a morning class. Luckily
we got to campus on time. A long day has passed and a new day is ready to be lived.
