It was the best holiday ever. During the June holidays last year, my family and relatives decided to go to a holiday together since we did not have a family meeting for the past few years. We decided to go to Langkawi. There were about thirty of us and we went there in a convoy on three cars since taking a flight would be more expensive. During the six-hour drive, my back started to ache. Even though, I did not complain as the view outside was so magnificent. Beautiful hills and sprawling plantation were all I could see. I could even see the mist surrounding the hills.
When we reached the ferry terminal, we parked our cars and took out the things from the car booth. We had to wait for a while for the ferry to arrive so we rested at the resting place provided. The two-hour ride made me feel dizzy as the tide was quite high. I was amazed by the beautiful scenery of our first resort, ‘Kampong Tok Senik’. The resort was exactly like a village. After unpacking our things, we decided to swim. There was a big, round stone in the middle of the pool. My cousins, my nieces, my nephews took turns to stand on it. After a while, we started bickering. At last, one of my youngest cousins fell into the pool and started sobbing. All of us got scolding from our parents and had to stop swimming.
At night, I followed my mother to a supermarket to buy the necessary things. We bought instant noodles, canned foods and a lot more. We only ate instant noodles that night as we were exhausted. The next morning, we went to the beach. We spent almost the whole day there. The most interesting activity was the ‘Banana Boat’. It was a long float that could carry six people. It was then pulled by a motor boat around the beach. When it was almost over, the boat would sling and made us all fall.
The other activity was ‘Jet Ski’. I was scared and asked my cousin to ride with me. It was a lot of fun and I could even see jellyfish swimming. After playing in the water, we decided to collect seashells. We collected one huge bottle of it. We even caught some live ones. One of my uncles even caught a small starfish but we let it go. There were even dead jellyfish on the shore and my brother touched it and his body was all itchy after that.
On the last day, we decided to go shopping .The things over there were very cheap as there were no tax. While we were shopping, we had to monitor the small children to make sure they do not wonder off. But overall, it was the best family meeting ever!
