My Recent Holiday Experience

To be honest, I didn’t really do anything important whilst the last school holiday. All I did was eat, watch some movies, and sleep, just like that almost those weeks. But, my English teacher asked us to “pour” every activities you had while on vacation. But don’t worry, I’m not going to elaborate of what food I had eaten, what movies I had watched, or what kind of sleep I had slept *what?. And that also doesn’t mean that I spent all holiday weeks being lazy. I had picked up some sport as well. 

 It was two days after the day that was declared as “students’ freedom” and I packed my clothes and went to Tangerang. And it wasn’t anything important. I went there occasionally to visit my mother and my aunt. And we didn’t do anything important either all the week, except the Kumon homework piling up, begging for me to fill them. But I enjoyed it, since my aunt and I were comic and movie maniacs, you know that means: I got every comics and movies for me to enjoy myself! When I thought that the vacation couldn’t get any better, my mother came up with the news: I’m to visit my paternal side of family: grandmother, aunt, and two cousins whom, without coincidence, lived in Tangerang. (except the aunt and the two cousins) 

Since it’s quite contradictive to my personalities, I don’t really enjoy family visits. I’d always imagine it will be about some bunch of people boasting about their relatives’ achievement and, after finding that out, they will strive to live up their image by forcing their own relatives into something they don’t want to. But thank God, that side of my family doesn’t really care of how they look in public, so, we had quite a quiet vacation while I was there. 

 Even at the family visit, we didn’t do anything important either. We just do exactly what normal people would do: get together, except we would always hang out to some malls, shop, and watch movies. My two cousins, Febby and Rian, just love to play games at the game center. At the end of the family visit, I reflected myself of everything I had had in my life. See, the whole point was, it was actually not an impressive vacation at all. Except it happened when you paternal family came from your divorced biological father who rarely sees you at anytime.
