My Holiday
Almost all of the form 5 students will do their revision during the Hari Raya holidays. They worry about their SPM examination and their future. But, it doesn’t work for me. I had spent my time with my family, friends and the computer. The meaning of a holiday in my opinion is an authority of rest for everyone to have a vacation. So, I left out all my stress and enjoyed my Hari Raya holidays.

My father had decided to celebrate this Hari Raya at Georgetown, Penang. We prepared ourselves early in the morning and started our journey. We took six hours to reach Penang and checked in into the resort. That was a good evening because we go to watch the sunset along the Batu Ferring Beach. Then we had our first dinner in Penang at the food court nearby. We had ordered the “Cha Kuih Teow” and the Penang laksa. These are the most popular local foods in Panang.

The next day, we visited the Buddhist Kek Lok Si Temple. We went up the hill by caber car. On the elevated platform, there was a tall statue of Kuan Yin and the other statuses of different Gods. This temple is a focal point of a festival of the Chinese community in Penang. The temple remains open until late at night whilst thousands of light turn the scenery in to a sea of light.

Third day in Penang, we went to the Penang Hill which is near the Kok Lok Si Temple. Penang Hill has a cooler environment. We went up the Penang Hill by the Penang Hill Railway from Ayer Hitam to the top of Flagstaff Hill. We could see the whole of Penang from the top of the Penang Hill. The fresh airs on top of the hill are good for our health. I liked the environment very much.

This was the last day of our stay in Penang. We visited the Snake temple. The temple is filled with the smoke of burning incense and a variety of pit vipers. Those snakes are believed to be rendered harmless by the sacred smoke. We were allowed to pick up the reptiles and place them on our bodies to take pictures. There is a small snake museum beside

    My keen interest I decided to visit the Wat Buddharangsi Temple of Miami which follows the ways of Theravada Buddhism. I did not expect to find it in such a remote location. The temple was completely surrounded by fields in a village like neighborhood. The location and its surroundings had the atmosphere very peaceful. A lot of trees surrounded the temple and made it feel full of life. The design of the temple was beautiful with not much color apart from the gold painted roofs and details. The building was built in a distinct “North Asian” style making it feel like you were stepping into a completely different place.…

On Saturday everyone met at the Durban harbour to board the ship, we boarded the ship at 11am and they gave us lunch as soon as we were all settled in. The food was lovely. After lunch we went back to our cabins and they had an emergency drill, it was so much fun but a little scary at the same time, I loved the thrill. After the drill my mum n my sisters and I went to the deck of the ship to swim in the pool, at 5pm we went back to our cabins to bath and change in to our evening formal clothes. We went to the restaurant for supper. After supper we went to watch a show in the sinfonia lounge, after the show everyone went their separate ways. So my sisters went with their boyfriends my mum had gone with all the adults so I went exploring. I started at deck of the ship going down and as you could have guessed I got lost. I was so scared I was on the 6th floor and there was no one in sight. The 6th floor was the biggest floor on the ship, so I couldn’t even find the stairs. I began to hear weird and strange noises, I was about to cry and just then something puts its hand on my shoulder and I start to scream, and as I turned around I saw my sisters boyfriends cousin Ashish and Nickeel standing there and laughing. I was so relieved to see them but at the same time throw them over board for scaring me like that. I told them how I got lost and what I was doing there on my own, they then took me back to the deck were everyone was and didn’t leave me to wonder of alone…

    Today we are surrounded by many people from distinct cultures and backgrounds. Aside from what the years have changed in society, most cultures still celebrate their heritage culture. I, for one of many, fall into that category. Being Hispanic we are very familiar with having big families, meaning that during the holidays there is something always going on. Therefore Christmas time is my personal favorite time of the year. We celebrate it with all the family gathering, food, Posada, and “El Dia de Los Reyes”. We celebrate Christmas by what is called the “Mexican Christmas”, which I’m sure many Hispanics are familiar with as well since it is a huge part of our culture and heritage.…

    The second field trip for Batch No: 1 on 30.01.2013 was to a water fall named “Arbi water-falls”. Our bus left us on the top of the plateau of Dasrath Nagar from where we had to walk down the steep slope of the plateau to get to the fields. We had to cross a swift stream of water which was very transparent and cold. We walked through the dykes, sort of no-man’s land made out of mud marking the boundary of two fields. Adjacent to the farmer’s house, which our sir described to over a hundred years old, was a well and a temple which was a special temple as there were big trees and people pray lord Vishnu in his cobra incarnation. It was also said to us that the people over there worship ‘Nagaraj’. We crossed a large number of bamboo barricades to visit the surrounding paddy fields, anywhere my eyes went I could only see greenery spread.…
