My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was thirteen.
It started with acne that showed up on my face. It was very annoying. It lowered my self-esteem and I was embarrassed to come out of my house and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three
weeks, the acnes started to vanish although those showed some black spots in my
face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of good experience too.

My Holiday in
Bali
When I was 2nd
grade of senior high school, my friends and I went to Bali. We were there for
three days. I had many impressive experiences during the vacation.
First day, we
visited Sanur Beach in the morning. We saw the beautiful sunrise together. It
was a great scenery. Then, we checked in to the hotel. After prepared our
selves, we went to Tanah Lot. We met so many other tourists there. They were
not only domestic but also foreign tourists.
Second day, we
enjoyed the day on Tanjung Benoa beach. We played so many water sports such as
banana boat, jetsky, speedboat etc. We also went to Penyu island to see many
unique animals. They were turtles, snakes, and sea birds. We were very happy.
In the afternoon, we went to Kuta Beach to see the amazing sunset and enjoyed
the beautiful wave.
The last day,
we spent our time in Sangeh. We could enjoy the green and shady forest. There
were so many monkies. They were so tame but sometimes they could be naughty. We
could make a close interaction with them. After that, we went to Sukowati
market for shopping. That was my lovely time. I bought some Bali T-Shirt and
souvenirs.
In the evening,
we had to check out from the hotel. We went back home bringing so many amazing
memories of Bali.
A Beautiful Day
at Jogja
Last week, my
friends and I went to Jogja. We visited many places.
First, we
visited Parangtritis beach. The sun shone brightly and the scenery was very
beautiful there. We felt the wind blew across to us. We also saw a lot of
people in that beach. There werw many birds flew in the sky. Also, there were
many sellers who sold many kinds of souvenirs. Second, we visited Gembira Loka
Zoo. We saw many kinds of animals there such as monkeys, tigers, crocodiles,
snakes, etc. We looked around in that Zoo, and also took pictures of those
animals. Then, we felt hungry, so we went to a restaurant. As soon as we
finished our lunc, we decided to go home.
For me, that
was a beautiful day. we really enjoyed it, and I hope I could visit Jogja
again.
My First
Experience to Ride Motorcycle
One day, when I
was ten years old, my father bought an old motorcycle. That was " Honda
75". I think it was small light object and easy to ride it. I persuaded my
father to teach me to ride " Honda 75 ". Firstly, my father refused
my request and promised that he would teach me two or three years later, but I
still whimpered. Finally, my father surrendered and promised to teach me.
He began to
teach me riding the motorcycle around a field in my village. My father was very
patient to give me some directions. I was very happy when I realized my ability
to ride a motorcycle. " Yes, I can ".
One day later,
when I was alone at home, I intended to try my riding ability. So, myself tried
bravely. All ran fluently in the beginning, but when I was going back to my
home and I must passed through a narrow slippery street, I got nervous. I lost
my control and I fell to the ditch.
After that, I
told my father about the last accident. I imagined my father would be angry and
never let me ride again. But the reality is exactly on the contrary, my father
was very proud of me. He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I
got my father's permission to ride motorcycle.
A Page from A
Girl's Diary
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.
My Adventure at Leang Cave
Orientation On Sunday, my
parents, my best fruend Novi, and I visited a cave at Maros called Leang-leang
. It was my first time to visit the cave, better yet, my best friend came to
visit it with me!
Event 1 The cave was famous for its primitive cave wall paintings which were some
hand prints and wild boar paintings. The cave and its surroundings was turned
into a national park, so it was taken care of. My parents took a rest in a
small hut for visitors of the park, while Novi and I adventured around the cave
with a guide. We had to climb some metal stairs to get to the cave, because the
cave was embedded into a small mountain. Next stop was a place where some
seashells littered the ground and some were actually piled into a big mound!
The guide said that these piles of seashells are called kjokkenmoddinger, or
kitchen trash.
Event 2 The humans who lived here ate the shells and dumped the left overs in
their ‘kitchen’. The last place was a small museum where they have skeletons of
the humans who lived in the caves. The skeletons along with some roughly made
jewelry and weapons were placed inside glass cases for display. The walls of
the museum were adorned with photographs taken when they did an excavation
there.
Reorientation After a quick lunch with Novi and my parents, we decided it was time to go
back home. We really had the time of our lives!

A Visit to a
Sheep Property

I visited a sheep property. I helped in the shearing sheds and in the yards.

day the Merino wethers were crutched. I helped by sweeping up after the
rouseabout picked up the wool pieces. Shearers start early (at 7.30 am)

we started shearing the lambs. There were more than 400 so we didn’t finish
until the next day. Once again I was sweeping and picking up dags.
EVENT 3 : I was tired
by the end of the day in the shed but our work wasn’t finished. We all had to
help to get the wethers and lambs back into the paddocks. As well, we had to
get a mob of ewes and their lambs into the yards for shearing the next day.
Then it was time for tea (that’s what my nanna calls dinner).
REORIENTATION : This was a
very long day but I enjoyed it a lot.
