Jianing's Holiday Reflection

I think that some of the best ways to spend holidays are reading, drawing, playing musical instruments, listening to music, cooking, watching movies, etc. basically, those are what I did during my end of year holidays.

Other than those activities, I also took walks in the open both in the morning and at night, since I enjoy the scenes and sights of nature quite a lot. 

Secondly, I had a great time with my friends at our class gathering at West Coast Park. But because I had lesson earlier and I also got a little lost on the way there, I didn’t get the privilege to play with them earlier in the day. By the time I reached there, it was already at night.  It was a pity, but I hope I can seize the opportunity the next time.

Thirdly, I celebrated a lot of birthdays during the end of year holidays. My father, older sister, cousin and his wife had their birthdays all during that holidays. I couldn’t really remember the details, but I know that we all had a great time celebrating.

Fourthly, I went to the pets quarantine centre. My cousin’s male dog boarded the plane from China and came to Singapore. It thought that my cousin had abandoned him and he went for days with eating. But, by the end of January, it will be back home! I can’t wait to spend time with him. 

Lastly, I also went to talks by some teenagers about how they make use of their time. I especially took note of how they spent their holidays.

They talked about how traveling is the best way of spending holidays, saying that it not only widens our geographical knowledge but also, has the ability to soothe our strained minds. They also said that how the beautiful scenery, overflowing rivers, vast green fields, enchanting hills, touching landscape, sandy beaches, historical buildings, etc., fill them with lots of joy and delight. But in my opinion, that is of no use to me, since I seldom travel during holidays in the recent years.

In conclusion, this holiday was really a meaningful one. I must thank the class committees for planning the outing. My past holidays are always so unlucky that I always couldn’t make it for the outings. So, I am really happy that I am able to attend this first secondary outing. I am looking forward to the year 2014 to spend more time and make many more wonderful memories with them again.
