Last weekend was my luckiest day ever. Many good things were coming toward
me.
When the morning broke in Sunday morning, I woke up and planned to jog
around the neighborhood. So I changed my clothes and went to the bathroom to
wash my sleepy face. As I stepped in the bathroom, I landed my foot on a soap
in the floor and feel down. A perfect morning hi for me. Next, I began my
jogging and saw my gorgeous neighbor, jogging to. I though it was a good
fortune to omit the gap between us. So I jogged to him and say hello. But, how
poor of me, it was not him. It just someone I never met before who looked like
to him. I was going home with people laugh at me along side of the street.
When I got home, the breakfast already settled and I immediately spooned a
big portion of rice and ate. After I have done my breakfast my mother came up
and said that the meal have not ready yet and she said that I may have a
stomachache if I ate it. It was proven, I had a stomachache for the next three
days.
I past my weekend lie down on me bed and be served as a queen. That was not
really bad, wasn't it.

day for me. I spent my time to do a lot of activities from college to my home.
First, at the morning, I did my presentation's assignment with my partner,
she was Nurhidayah. It took 3 hours. And then we went to the campus for joining
lecture. But, the lecturer said that our presentation would be started next
week. It made us disappointed. The class was finished at 12.30.

people. My aunt, my niece, my uncle and some of my cousins. We all hoped that
our grandmother would get better soon.

THE FLOOD
One Christmas in 2007, I was joining a final test try out at school. It was
held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. One of my schoolmates, Rini, asked me for
accompanying her to the bus stop. When we arrived there, suddenly the heavy
rain fell down from the sky. Rini suggested me to go home soon while she was
entering the bus.
It was still raining when I was home. The rain did not stop and became bigger
when the night had come. People were standing in front of their house, hoping
that the flood would not come. In the middle of the night, I got news that
South Purwodadi had been drowned.
The next day, Purwodadi had become a flood area. All activities were paralyzed.
No one went for work or school because the land had been covered by flood.
However, I thank God for not allowing the flood entered my house. Even my house
had been changed into an emergency kitchen. It was so crowded there. I and my
father took a walk around the center market and Central Purwodadi. All that we
could see was water and water. At night, the flood looked like a beautiful
ocean with the moonlight on it. I felt as if I was one of the passengers of
Titanic who was sailing on the sea.
Finally, the flood was starting to decrease in the next morning. I and my
family cleaned our front yard together. That was the greatest flood that I had
ever experienced in my hometown.

On April 16th, 2010, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because
that was the holy day for Hindhu people . I was so tired about the study, so I
guessed this time I could get full refresh anyway. However, the fact said the
other way.
First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning helping my
mother, of course after I prayed. Then I did my chores, cleaned up my room, and
spread out my bed under the sun ray. I was really in danger if my mom knew that
my room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. Second, my aunts called
me in the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time, that was the way I
kept for hours to talk with them. After that, unpredictable my neighbor visited
me. She asked my help finishing her homework. At last, the time was running and
I just remembered that I had a lot of homework. I got mad, confused and
regretful why I did not check my homework before. Therefore, I did my homework
until 2:00 a.m. the next morning.
I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long
ship with my homework.

to my home and picked me up. They told me that we were going to go out of town.

in Boyolali. The way to get there was really nice, we could see the fields and
woods around us with the beautiful mountain behind them. Furthermore, we could
feel the fresh air which was difficult to be found in Semarang. In Tlatar, we
could swim and fishing. While some of us were swimming, the others were fishing
or just enjoyed the view. We also ordered some food and drink.
The other and the last place we visited was Badhe Dam. It was big dam in
Boyolali. We got there when it was getting afternoon around at five o’clock.
