The place where
I feel most
comfortable is a place where I
am calm. A place that is peaceful in its own ways.
It is the place
to go to get away from all
my troubles. It also the one
place where I
could sit forever
and never get tired
of just staring
into the deepest
blue I ever seen. It is the
place where I can sit and
think the best.
A place where nothing matters but what is in that little moment. It is also
the place where
my family and
I will gather always.
The one place capable of sending
my senses into
an overload. This place is the beach.
Last weekend on Sunday,
my family and
I went to Batu Ferengghi in Penang Island. It was one of the famous beaches. It took about two hours from my hometown. We
went there by
my father’s brand
new BMW car. Before
we went there,we
prepared some things
to bring to the
beach. Those were some
delicious chicken sandwishes,fried noodles, chicken rice
and ‘nasi lemak’,rice cooked
with milk and some
spicy gravy as our meals. We also
prepared fresh seafood
as fish,oyster,prawns and crabs
for barbeque.Then,we also
took water, fresh orange
juice and soft
drinks to quench thirst
after we reached there.
We brought mats, beach
ball,canopy,sun glasses, swimming attires
and sun lotion
to protect my
skin color.
We
moved at six o’clock in
the morning from
my house and
reached at the
beach about eight
o’clock in the morning. As I watched,
the waves from
the shore look
fun and almost
innocent as they
crest and then
crash over one another.
I saw
coconut trees were
swaying according to
the wind. I can
taste the salt
in the air
and the sun
reflects off the
water in brilliant
colors of gold, blue
and red, just like rainbow.
The clear blue
sky with birds
soaring over head
searching for food
and once in
a while a
bird would get
lucky and snatch
a fish from
the water, the scenery
was all laid
out like an
exotic nature drawing
in an art gallery.
Everything on Batu
Ferengghi beach has
its own unique
feel and it
has its own
way of making
us feel calm
and relaxed. The sun was so warm
against my hot skin,
the salty air
blowing on my
face feels wet
and cool as
it passes by. The beach was crowded with people. Some people
were swimming in the sea. Some were relaxing on the beach chairs. The charming
young boys were playing beach ball. The
children were building
sandcastles and also
some European
girls who were in the bikini’s were
taking sunbath.
Then,
my father found
a shady tree
and spread the mat.
My sister and I helped
mother by arranging
all the things
that we bought
while my father
pitched the canopy. My
father and mother
relaxed and watched the crowd. A while later,
my siblings and I changed
into swimming attires. We
did some activities
like my sister
collected seashells, my brother
joined other boys
and played kites
and I builded sandcastles.
It was really awesome. After an hour, my
siblings and I swam
in the sea. The water was as cold as ice and salty.
After swam in
the sea, we felt hungry.So,we had some delicious
food which was
cooked by my mother. We relaxed for a while before we do other
activities.
Furthermore,
we also tried some water sports. I rode banana boat with my siblings. It’s really excited. So we
rode the banana
boats for two
times and really
enjoyed. We tried jet
skiing with scared
but happy for
the adventure game. For the first
time I tried parasailing. I was really terrified. I also
wanted to try
horse-riding.Unfortunately,the
horse ran away
after seeing me. The boys at the beach looked me weirdly and laughed at me. I felt
shy and ran to my family members. It’s really an unforgettable memory for me.
It was almost 6.30 in
the evening. We gazed at the
sunset. The sunset was picturesque. A
while later, we realized
that we were late
so we packed
our things and
drove home. After we
reached home, we felt
tired but I was
in cloud nine. It’s really a memorable day. I hope
to go again
maybe with friends
or boyfriend on
next holiday.
