Last Month, My friends and I had a
wonderful trip to Bandung. We had three days trip there, from Friday to Sunday.
We left to Bandung on Friday afternoon and it only took about three and half
hour by car from Tangerang, our home town. We started at 2 P.M and arrived
around 5.30 P.M in Bandung. As soon as we arrived in Bandung, we took a rest in
a hotel downtown Bandung. After taking a rest and a shower, we had dinner and
prepared for a night tour in Bandung.
Around 7.30 P.M, we
drove to Ciampelas to buy some jeans and t-shirts. After 2 hours shopping
there, we dropped at Ciwalk for half an hour to relax and enjoy the beauty of
Ciwalk. Our next destination is Ciwidey and Cimangu. It took about one and half
hour to be in Ciwidey and Cimangu. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit Ciwidey
because of the bad weather and continued to Cimangu, around one kilometer from
it. In Ciwidey, we had a warm water bathing. All of us jumped into the warm
water and enjoyed it a lot. Our body soaked in a big warm swimming pool
for about an hour before we stopped. At 2 A.M on Saturday, we took a rest in of
villager's house there near Ciwidey.
On
Saturday we had a great activity because we did many things. First we went to
Ciwidey. We enjoyed the nature of Ciwidey's View. We stayed there for about one
hour. Around 10 o'clock, we went to Strawberry Park located in Ciwidey, too. We
learnt how to plant the strawberry and of course ate some products made of
strawberry, such as fried rice, cake and juice.
On Saturday afternoon around 2 P.M,
we came back to hotel to drop our luggage. After 2 hours in hotel, we went to
Cibaduyut for shoes shopping. At around 7 P.M, we went to Dago Street to enjoy Saturday
night there.
On Sunday Morning, we packed up and went back to Tangerang.

Tuesday, September 30th,
2008
It was takbiran night. It
was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would
happen, but I was wrong.
That night, I was watching television with my family
when I heard someone lit fireworks in my front yard. I peeped trough my
window glass but could see nothing. It was very dark outside. Then I thought
it had to be my cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa
again and tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with
disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday. I shrugged,
it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist.
Five minutes later my mobile
beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me to come out. Wondering what
was going on, I grabbed my jacket and hurried to the front door. I was
surprised to see her bring a bag full of firework and fire drills. Next I was
surprised to see my other friend come out from the darkness. She brought a
beautiful birthday cake on her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave
the cake to me who was too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing
furiously because my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors
too!
A plain day, or I thought it was before, turned out to
be one of the greatest moment in my life. I didn’t even know how to describe
what I felt. Happy was the simplest word.
