Subject: Holiday!

I just came back from a holiday with my family last Friday. I thought my best holiday
was in Melaka but this was a lot more fun. My whole family took a flight to George
Town, Penang from Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at a hotel on Armenian Street, next
to Acheh road, from 13 to 16 August.

This trip was all about food. On our first day, we went to look for my brother’s
favourite food – Char Kuey Teow and Penang Laksa. Although I enjoyed the curry
noodle, I still think Penang Laksa was my top pick. It was delicious.

One food I did not enjoy much was the fried oyster. I did not like the taste of the
oyster but my mother absolutely loved it. However, if there was one thing that my
whole family like, that would be cendol. When we got there, there was a long line.
We thought it would take us 30 minutes but it only took us 10 minutes to get our
order.

We also did not miss the opportunity to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We rented some bicycles and together we cycled around the town to look for every
street art. There were many cars on the street so we had to be extremely careful.

Jamil, you need to come visit art museum because you love art so much and I was
surprised by how cool it was. I know you do not like key chains so I bought you an
art book. Give it to you when I see you!

National Service Programme and I

Taking part in the National Service Programme was one of my best

decisions. I joined the National Service Programme last month in Tawau for
3 months and I’ve learned so much from it.

First of all, it helped me develop good habits such as waking up and

sleeping early. At home, I could always sleep late and wake up anytime I
want. But in the camp, we had to follow the rules set by the officers and shut
the lights by 10 p.m. At first, I did not like it but now I think it is good for me.
Now, I always try to sleep before 12 a.m. to make sure I get up early in the
morning.

By joining the National Service Programme, we made new friends

who come from different races and states in Malaysia. I got to know some
new friends from Selangor and they shared their lives in west Malaysia with
us. Hearing the stories, I could see that there is so much difference among
us even though we live in the same country. Because of that, I learned to
respect people with different cultures.

The programme taught me about responsibility. Under the National

Service Programme, every individual is the same. If we did something
wrong, we would be given a fair punishment. If we did something good, we
would be given good words or even prizes. Therefore, we have to think
carefully before taking any actions. I find it useful to practice in my daily life.

In additions, there are many exciting activities in the National Service

Programme such as jungle trekking and cooking in the jungle with very few
utensils and food provided. We learn to work in teams and help each other
solve problems. We learn to set up camp, group patrol at night and cleaning
a dorm together. On top of everything, I think what I like most is all the love I
felt from everyone I met in the camp.
