My mother is a beautiful woman. She is 45 years old, but I think she looks younger than her
age.
She has a fair complexion and straight long hair. Although she is fat, she’s well proportioned
overall. She has a dimple on her left check.
Her character I mostly like is her humor. Her jokes always make us laugh. Besides, she seldom
gets angry. When I have problems, she always listens to me and provides the best solutions to my
problems. She is also a good cook. We always like the food she cooks. She has all the qualities of being
a good mother.
She likes wearing a kebaya, especially during special events, like parties or ceremonies. When

heroine, especially for me.

My Favourite Bag
I like something mostly because it is simple. The same reason makes me love this backpack. It is
not only simple, but also because it has a wide space in it that I can almost bring anything I need with
only one bag. I bought this bag myself five years ago, and it is still usable until now. Its durability is
unquestionable.

The colour of my favourite bag is black. It is made of thick cotton. The backpack is divided into
three pouches, the big pouch, the average pouch, and the small pouch. Each of it has its own zipper.
The small pouch is a little bit different from the other, because it is covered by rubber. The small pouch is
where I usually keep my flash drive, car's key, and pen. I will tell you a secret, if you saw my bag from
the front side, you will only see two pouches, it is because the big pouch is not accessible from the front
side, the zipper is hidden on the back side of the bag and it can only be accessed if I take off the bag
from my back, it is very tricky, right? I decorated my bag with fake ant and fake spider by sticking them
on it.

We all need a best friend, a best friend

I remember when we were young,

Playing pool, after school, keeping it cool.
People say we were the troublesome two.
I know the girls liked me and you.
I can never forget the times you've covered my back,
You helped me out and covered some slack.
There was nothing you'd never do,
It was all about me and you.
You're my brother, you're my sister,
We'll stick together,
No matter what, no matter what.….
