The first day ended in a flurry . I felt exhausted but could not wait for the next day . I woke up the next day very early . After having breakfast in the hotel , we played some table tennis . At first it started with me leading against my father with 1-0 but after that my father owned the game . The end result was a humiliating defeat of 4-21 . The game ended almost before it started . The other games ended with similar results of 6-21 , 9-21 and 19-21 . I had to admit that I fared quite well in the last game . The rest of the day ended with the everyone soaking in the swimming pool . The third day was the most interesting part of the holiday . We were driven around Bali in a spacious van with a tour guide explaining every nook and cranny in the area . My mum was the one who benefited the most from the trip .She managed to buy something during almost every single stop . I was edgy and could not wait for the last stop which was the magnificent mountain nearby . I kept looking towards the the huge heap of mass and was drawned by its magnificence . At long last we made our way to the mountain . I could feel the air getting cooler and cooler as we escalate . At the peak was a restaurant with a buffet of variant local cuisines . I could feel saliva drooling from my mouth . I restrained myself from leaping at the food . I felt full after finishing my third plate . We headed back to the hotel just in time to watch the sunset . I sighed knowing that today was the last day I was going to be in Bali . I gazed at the picturesque sunset and decided that it was something I would never forget .

Holiday Adventure(part 2)
Surprisingly , we were the first few people to board the aeroplane . The passengers slowly oozed in from the only entrance . I fidgeted uncomfortably at my seat until I was satisfied with my position . As the aeroplane took off , I could feel the popping sound in my ears . My mum advised me to take some sweets which eased the popping feeling . There was a television at the front of my seat . It provided some entertainment but my mind was already in Bali . I imagined myself surfing the huge waves , swallowing down giant prawns with a group of dancers dancing in front of the sunset . I sighed at the idea .
We were taken from the airport to the hotel . We trailed behind the bell boy as he led , along with our luggage , to our room . "kechik" the door unlocked . I dashed to my room - nearest to the toilet . I took out my swimming kit and changed my gear . Armed with two water guns , each resting snugly in my palms , I bounded towards the beach . I relished the Sun . A grin spread through my mouth . I released a frenzy of of shots towards my sisters , taking them off guard . 1 - 0 I thought . Fueled with rage my sisters released their wrath by returning my shots . I was hit , once , which makes it 1 - 1 . At last I was cornered . With nowhere to run and my sisters approaching fast , I took out my secret weapon . I could see the smile plastered in their faces soon change . I hurled the water balloons , which I had made earlier on . They ran , they screamed but their fate was inevitable .

Holiday Adventure (Part1)
During the school holidays , I went for holiday with my family . The holiday lasted a total of five days . I was filled with excitement the day before , as it has been awhile since I took a plane , and was not able to sleep . This was evident from the fact that I ended up having black eye patches . I ended up not wearing my shoes properly and had to eat my breakfast in the car . Upon arriving at the airport , I felt nervous and could not keep still . I paced around the airport and surprisingly , it calmed me down - a bit . Walking around the airport was like an adventure in itself . With the Flora and fauna which dotted the area , I soon forgot where I was and began scouting around . I looked at the exotic orchid and wondered if the reason why it is the national flower was because it depicted the concrete jungle in Singapore . My gaze was diverted by the magnificent fountain which shot up to the second floor . I gasped at the beauty and brilliance . The lights which coloured the water was soothing and I was enticed to have a quick shower . My trance was abruptly and rudely interrupted by the calling of my sister . I tore my gaze away from the many jets of water . My excitement was renewed when I was told that it was time for boarding .
I leaded the way only knowing where to go by the sign which says "Indonesia" . We , my family and I , passed through the entrance and waited in line . I watched the seconds ticking by and the old anxious feeling regained itself . I tapped my legs when finally at long last , after waiting for five whole excruciating minutes , it was our turn to board the aeroplane .
