The Different Holiday

I wanna tell about how I spent my holiday in Balikpapan last week. I thought this was a different holiday than the others. Stated from seventh of March until sixteenth of March. It was enough long of my holiday to take a rest and made my brain pause to think all of about lessons. At the first time before I went to Balikpapan, actually I felt sad because had to leave my friends in this city. But I wanted to met my family because I miss them very much. After I arrived at my home, it was like a different. But there was something like usual, they didn’t give welcome to me, especially my sisters. Also one more thing, I always told them everything I had  in Samarinda until the night.

Two days first, I just slept more than activity. And the third day in the morning, I persuaded my father to play badminton together. After that, we played badminton everyday, twice a day. My activities at home were not interesting if you know that. I just played badminton in the morning and then helped my mother, after that I took a bath and sometimes I played with my little brother, sometimes I went to library in center Balikpapan. In the afternoon, I picked my sister up. Everyday I did it. It was the reason why I said that this holiday was different than the others. Because in another holiday, I always met my friends and went until dusk. But I never felt bored at my home. I felt happy and wanted to stay at there.

Some days before I returned, I did more activites. But, I never played badminton again. For example, three days before I returned, I went to the Alpha hill in Manggar area. I went there with my friend and I got recommended from my old sister. The area was far enough from my house. The hill is full of coarse grass. I felt calm and rilex at there. We also took some photos and shared our story each other. At there, the weather is very hot but there were much air. And it made we didn’t feel warm. At noon, we went back to our own house. The next day, I guessed that I return to Samarinda. In this day, I really felt sad because I didn’t wanna back. I had gotten pleasure at my home with my family. But I didn’t returned that day because my father asked me to followed him to take some rambutans in his friend’s garden. The place was very far from my house. The place was in Selok Api. I never went there before. The garden was like forest, I thought. And you must know that I walked in the garden without shoes, because land was muddy. But, I was enjoyed it although my foot was getting dirty. But I was really happy because could pick the rambutan fruit from the tree  and ate it immediately. After enough brought them to house, we went home with a full big sack of rambutans. On the way we went home, the sky was cloudy. It made my father riding the motorcycle quickly. When the rain was getting down, my father made something activity. He read something and blown it to the sky. He also rode the motorcycle very fast. When we arrived at home, the heavy rain was getting down.

The lat day in Balikpapan, I just stayed at home. I really didn’t wanna back to Samarinda, and I didn’t know why. I did all of my activities slowly. I wanted to extend the time to make me had longer time in Balikpapan. I prepared all of my things but I was very lazy to do it. My mother was also angry to me because of my attitude at that time. And when I wanted to go, I was crying. I didn’ t know why . I thought that I didn’t wanna go to leave my family in Balikpapan. That was the first time I felt sad when I wanna back to Samarinda. There was not any selection will be chose because the next day, I had to school. And finally, I could went to Samarinda because I thought that I went to the other city to study, not do something useless. And it was something which made my parents proud to me.
