Hello everyone! For this
post, I’m going to tell you about my 2-weeks-recess.
Yes! IT'S HOLIDAY TIMEE!
Yes! IT'S HOLIDAY TIMEE!
After I had done
the final semester test, I literally had nothing to do with school. So,
actually, it can be said that I started my holiday on December 6th.
But, the report card was given on December 23rd. So here, I will say
that my holiday started on December 24th. OK that wasn’t important.
So let’s start!
That was my first year to
have a holiday starting one day before Christmas as it used to be one or two weeks earlier – but it doesn’t really matter.
On Friday, December 23rd,
my aunt, uncle, and my cousins, Arthur (4) and Michelle (3) from my
mother’s family came to my house. I got a task : baby sitting. Almost all day
long I and my sister accompanied and oversaw them. Playing Lego, Play-Doh, and
dolls or watching toy reviews and cartoons. I didn’t get bored as they are soo
active and cutee and I rarely meet them because they come to my house only
twice a year. So that was what I did on Friday and Saturday. I just stayed at
home.
On Sunday, which was December
25th – Christmas Day, I spent most of the day at Borromeus Hospital.
I and my family left home at 8 A.M. At first, we planned to go to church, but
then, we decided to follow the afternoon mass at 5 P.M. because we needed to go
Borromeus. My father’s cousin (I called her aunt) was going to have a surgery
for a cyst in her ovary. We headed to Borromeus. When we got there, the surgery
hadn’t been started but my aunt had already got into the Operation Chamber. At
about 9.30 A.M. the surgery started.
My father, mother, sister,
and I waited outside while my cousins waited downstairs at the children’s
playground. After waiting for some hours, the doctor called my uncle with a
shocking news, there was a cyst with a cauliflower-like mass signing a
malignant tumor (cancer), appendicitis, and hernia. Everybody was shocked and
sad. The surgery was done at 3 P.M. We left the hospital and headed to a
restaurant nearby to have lunch. From there we went to Cathedral Church to
follow the Christmas mass.
The church was
decorated very nicely. The mass finished at about 7 P.M.Then we went to Istana
Plaza to have dinner and bought Lego and toys for my cousins. After that, we
went home. That was my Christmas Day, it was a quite-sad one.
The next days
were just ordinary. I played with my cousins and just stayed at home, sometimes
I watched TV or a movie.
On Thursday December
29th, my cousins went back to Bekasi. I had nothing to do, so I
decided to make a DIY (do-it-yourself) for my room decoration. Firstly, I
searched for stuffs such as magazines, boxes, cardboards, scissors, glue,
double tape, and etc. Then I surfed the internet and YouTube for an idea. But
then I found out that the things that I would need were quite hard to be found
as they were usually sold in the Dollar Store, or it usually needs a drill on
the wall and I was prohibited to do that.
So I just tried
to look for the simple one. I succeeded to make 4-word-quotes, a diamond from a
magazine, and some logos for wall decorations. That wasn’t really good but,
yeah, at least I did something “productive” during my holiday.
On New Year’s
Eve, I did nothing special and for New Year’s Day, I went to church and then went
back home. How wonderful my New Year was, right? :))
After the New
Year’s Day, I had just realized that school was coming soon and I hadn’t done anything
useful. I regretted what I did during my holiday (a little bit). But then I
thought that I wouldn’t get any free time like that if school has been started,
so I decided to give my brain a rest. I did nothing during that week. Almost
every day I followed my mother going to Borromeus Hospital.
On Monday January
9th I started going to school again. HOLIDAY’S OVER. Back to
routine! I just hoped my brain hadn’t stopped.
Sooo that was
what I did during the semester break. How’s yours?
That’s all for
this post! Thank you for reading! :))
