My Holiday Experience
The June holidays have finally came to an end.It seems too fast,au usual,but I felt I spent it well,in fact,better than the last time.
I spent alot of time in school.There was band practices at least twice weekly,and I would come home only int he afternon each time.I got my exercise there,with drills and marching,and my fair share of music exposure.
I also had to take my oral examinations for chinese during the first week of the holidays.I was so nervous on the day itself,as my chinese is rather poor.I wondered what I was going to say...Luckily,all passed well and I went home in high spirits after having a break with my friends.
I went out with my friends a few times too.Sometimes,to complete our many projects,and sometimes,for fun.As the Pirates of the Carribean came out just right for the holidays,I was exhilarated and went to watch it with my friends.As my spending money diminsihed,my fun increased and I think I did a fair share of work to earn it!
What did I do for work?I had to complete assesments everyday for my mother unless I was out with my friends.I had to do at least two subjects too.My mother hoped that this will improve my results at the end of the year,and I hoped so too.I could then sit back and relax during the November/December holidays then!
There was a few things I missed during the holidays,though.I missed my Malay Special Programme lessons,as they were fun and interesting.I also missed just being in class and having lessons with my friends.However,I think I made up for the latter by going out with them so many times!
I wanted to go to Suzhou for my school's exchange programme at first,but changed my mind later.That might enrich my holidays further,I do not know,but I decided not to risk it and find out with my already full schedule:)But even without going,I still managed to study,play and relax at the same time.Work even got added in to enrich my holiday experience as my mother insisted I had to work in her medical/provison shop during the month-long holiday!Sulkily,I sat at the counter,indirectly getting exposure to the real,working world and brushing up on my Mathematics at the same time.
I read books during the holidays too,hoping to accomplish a few of my goals,and tried to complete some projects which did not need to be handed in that early.But I was bored and so decided to kill two birds with a stone.
My holidays were spent at home,but were well-balanced,and I think I did relax and learn from my holiday experience.
