When I first came to Sri Pelita my first trip in this school was a day trip to Monkey Beach. It was very exciting because my last year of schooling at Union High School didn't really have any day trip to anywhere. I had to wake up very early that day to catch the bus in the morning.
The bus journey wasn't long. It took about forty five minutes to reach Teluk Bahang. We all gathered at the starting point and lined up according to our age group. I saw many other students' and their families join in the family hike. I was a bit sad that my family had no time to join me in the hike because my parents had to bring my brother to his violin class and my sister to her piano class. Nevertheless, my new friends cheered me up during the hike.
When the teacher-in-charge, Mr. Edric, finished his announcement, we all started heading to the beaches.The primary students only had to hike to Muka Head beach and we, the secondary students had to hike further than them. When I hiked to Muka Head with my friends, the journey seemed easy for us. The route was similar to the hike up Bukit Jambul because there were not many areas that were steep and there were many wooden steps that were laid for us to go up the hill.
We reached Muka Head quickly and we were surprised to see a few secondary students and teachers reach there earlier than us. Then, we all hiked together in a group to Monkey Beach. The tracks leadeding to the beach were more challenging than I thought . The journey was quite rocky and we had to climb over some fallen tree trunks including some large roots that extended out to the beach. I was horrified when I almost slipped and fell into some dried bushes. Thank goodness I had a good grip on one of the tree branches.
After that, we finally reached Monkey Beach and I was relieved to have a rest. I then had a picnic with my friends. Some of my friends were playing by the sea and some of us played with some sand on the beach. I dreaded the thought of us hiking back to where we started. I thought we could get on the boats to get back to Teluk Bahang. When we reached Muka Head again, we heard the annoucement for the students' who had brought their families. They would get a small trophy for the Family Hike and gets points for their colour houses.
Finally, we reached our starting point. My legs were aching and I went to a small store to buy a 100 Plus drink. When we were on the bus, I was thinking about the Family Hike and how it did keep me fit and gave everyone a good exercise.

My CNY Holidays
During my Chinese New Year holidays, my family and I went to visit my relatives and my brother and sister were so excited to gets lots of angpows.On the fist day, we went to my aunt's house and I discovered that my cousin brother actually was very skillful in massaging. He may be a bit tall and thin but his fingers are very strong. My mother said that she could feel the pain when he used his 'magic' fingers to massage her tired and stiff neck.
Next, we visited my granduncle's house and found that Amelia the dog was also there, too. My
brother ,my sister and I like to play with Amelia. It is a very intelligent dog.When my aunt told her that it was time to go home, it would bark in reply to mean it agreed with her. I like to have a pet dog like Amelia someday because it won't mess around the house like other dogs do.
After that , we went to a grandaunt's house. We witnessed a colourful lion dance and heard a very loud explosion of firecrackers. It was a very exciting and enjoyable event.
The second day, we visited another aunt's house and had lunch there.We also played with Cutie the chihuahua. Even though it is not as intellingent as Amelia, he is a very good watchdog. It can sense anything very sharply such as a bat flying by or even a cat or a bird from afar. It will bark at it and scare them away.
On the third day, we were invited to our uncle's wedding dinner at E & O hotel.The bride and the bridegroom offered tea to their parents and elders.While we were waiting for the dinner to be set ,we went to the hotel garden.The garden was really beautiful and my sister and I took many pictures.
It was a very hectic and memorable Chinese New Year holiday for me.
