My Holiday (Throwback from last 3 weeks)

It was been 6 months. Finally, I nailed this tough semester. I have done some tiring final test in a week plus one day, it was really pushed my brain. I only spent my day on that busy week just for studying, studying, studying. It was pathetic anyway. But, after that busy day was passed by, I just felt there was nothing to do.

So I spent my day after final week for reading some novels. My friend told me there is a good public library near our school. It is commercial library, if you want to borrow a book you must pay it. The fare is various, it depends on the novel price. In the first time, I borrowed Merry Riana semi-autobiography book. And now that novel actually is filmed and available at the cinema. It is a great book, this novel is about Merry Riana’s university life in Singapore until she gets her success. Merry Riana is Indonesian but in 1998 due to the “tragedy 98” her family sent her to Singapore for studying in there. But, because her family ran out of money, Merry had to struggle with low money living. Not only that novel, I also read some fiction novel.

                Time was really fast. Finally, I received my report this semester. After receiving the report I went to my home in Serang, and I continued my holiday in there. In Serang, it was quite similar in Bandung. I spent my day by watching some movies. I like horror movie so I watched some great horror movie based on movie review on internet. Actually, the horror that I watched was quite scary. It is about satanic and witch theme. Not only horror, but also I watched anti-war movie. It was Grave of the Fireflies. It was great heart-wrenching movie about brother and sister who survive in war condition after their parents was died.

                My day in Serang was finally over. I came back to Bandung on Wednesday, 5 days before school starts. I came back earlier because I have to attend “Diklat PMR” on Friday to Saturday at Lembang. This events tend to make us become more competent and ready to join PMR’s activity. In this training we didn’t sleep at hotel, house, or villa but we stay at tent. It was camping time hehe.

"Diklat PMR"

                We didn’t only go for camping. But, we did some simulation to help injury people. The simulation wasn’t easy because the way to the victim was very dangerous. We must walk through the river, stone, and even a pipe of water. It was thrilling anyway.

            For girl, they slept at tent. But, my friend and I slept at “Bivak”, it is made of rain coat. It is small and open. I was really scared of wild animal that could easily enter my “Bivak”. And, unluckily I can’t sleep, it wasn’t because my fear of wild animal but the wind was killing me slowly. It was super cold wind. I didn’t know the temperature at that night, but I was just shivering all night.    

                I didn’t have a special holiday as my friend have. But, I was very happy to do it. Anyway, tomorrow is my first day of the second semester, Good Luck!
