Holidays with friends

Almost every holiday,my family and a family friend will do something INTERESTING.Maybe not to some of you,but it is to us cause we do it together and it will be like a craze for that period before we get sick of it then find another thing to occupy ourselves.


The first i remembered...if i am not mistaken,was playing badminton.We would spend every Thursday evenings in the court.Imagine..right after school,mummy will get us ready and then off we go to the court until 5pm.After that,we would go for makan.Not heavy stuff...curry puffs,sugarcane drink,fried bananas or keropok lekor...It was so much fun and i don't know why we stopped suddenly.

The next was.....swimming.We had to go shopping for the attire.The boys were getting coaching so the girls and ladies....just hang around and enjoy ourselves.Was fun too..just that sometimes when there was crowd and the pool is JUST THAT BIG...then it will be a little uncomfortable.So,we ended up swimming at night.Usually we will go on Monday cause it was the ladies' night.The boys could join in because they were still below 12 years old.Now,they are not allowed anymore.If we were to start the craze again..either we leave them out or join the crowd.

Then...there was hiking and playing ping pong.These two did not last that long...Why?Let's start with hiking...It really needs you to be discipline to start doing it because the torture of climbing....the stamina needed...is WAY TOO MUCH.I did enjoy myself also but....that was when i could rest at the TOP OF THE HILL.The scenery and the air...made me forget of all the torture when going up.Really...That breathtaking.So i only felt worth doing it only for that second and also when i had the appetite to eat 2 plates of noodles.The rest...was okay only.The ping pong...One thing is because i am not good at it.Haven't played it before so the ball was like flying so high in the air.Couldn't really play that well...maybe not couldn't but didn't play well at all.The adults were good.Spinning the ball and all the tricks..i could only watch.If i could play that well then maybe i will enjoy it.

After that...i think it was crafts...making cards and those things that can stick at the window.Those were fun and mind challenging...for those like me who are only so-so at arts.But then the nice thing is all the gadgets that the friend bought.Cost a lot so i can 'pinjam' hers.That was another type of fun.But i don't remember if the boys participated..maybe when making the window thing but the card....i don't think so.Really can't remember.

Is there anymore from the past....?I think that's about it.

And now we come to the present...Test driving car.I have never test drive nor gone for a test drive before.And i experienced that two days in a row.Imagine..But then,the sales person has to be friendly.If not,will feel so uncomfortable.We tried...Rush and Nautika.Both are the same except Rush can accommodate 7 people while Nautika only five and Rush is bumpier or what the small girl will say like riding a horse.Oh...by the way,i went as the passenger behind.Not the one who is actually getting any of the cars.I still can't afford any of those..actually not only those but all the cars.I think i can only afford to get a bike..hopefully.If not then worst come to worst...a bicycle.Not the ones with super gadget.Aih....

But i am on my way to getting a car....


How?

Since my sister and i are older now,we decided to start on financial stuff.We are learning how to manage our own accounts and $$$ of course.How fun is that?And all the mental calculation...SO SO INTERESTING...i think my eyes are filled with $$ sign =) Had my first online account today and i can transfer my money from savings to fixed deposit just by a click...and that also means..i can earn more money through the interest...BUT...spend less on shopping.Not that i can't shop but just spend less so i think it is bearable.Suffer around 10 years or so then i can spend comfortably...how bad can that be?Just for 10 years,right?Better than for the rest of my life.So...this is GOOD,THE BEST.One BIG step towards reaching my goal.THANKS A LOT!I will definitely remember to 'belanja' you when THE TIME comes.

Now you see how important good friends are especially family friends..The fun and enjoyment can never end.
