My Family and The Airport Troubles
During this winter vacation, my family went back to Japan for 2 weeks and met with my friends and spend great time with my kind grand parents.
My family, mother, father, grandmothers, and grand fathers are occasionally strict but most of the time, they all be really kind and always watching over me with their gentle eyes.
What I knew recently is that they get really mad at me when I did something bad thing but it is because they are all worrying about me. They may look so scary when they are mad but inside, they are really gentle and really really tender.
Sometimes I hear the story about poor children who doesn't have family or their parents are really evil not taking care of their own kids and whenever I hear those sad stories, I once more, feel a big gratitude of having such a great great great times billion times great family.
And I had really good time with them in Japan but still, I have to go back to Jakarta.
So on Friday 8th of January, my dad already went back before us so I and my mom thanked my grandparents and left their house to airport to go back to Jakarta, BUT we had a trouble. It happened at the station. On our plan for going to Narita Japan airport, we ride 2 trains to Nippori station and ride Narita express (the fastest train to get to the airport). And same as the plan, we smoothly got to the Nippori station and bought tickets for the Narita express. BUT, we met with an unexpected happening.
After my mom bought me the ticket, I followed her to the station to ride Narita express, mom went to the wrong station! The station employee told us that the correct station is on the 3rd floor! So we ran to the 3rd floor but OMG not again! We were on the right floor but were on the wrong side of the station! In the scene of we getting confused, the Narita express came but the door didn't open because we were not on the correct side of the station! And 1second later, I found myself really fast. I don't know why, but my body was autimatically running like a lion! As I took a glance on the back, my mom was frantically chasing me over with a suit case in her hands. But, oh boy, I ran too much and I crossed over the stairs to go down and get to the other side of station! Also my mom carelessly crossed over it too. In that moment, at last, the Narita express left the station.
........... I and my mom watched each other's face in dumb. It was so embarrassing! Ahh! But at least, we could ride second fastest train to get to Narita airport, I guess we should think this in good way.
Finally, about 1 hour after, we arrived to the airport and after about 6hours traveling, we finally got to Jakarta. When I came out from the airport, my father was waiting for us!
The temperature was 26 degrees, I was really tired...

Holiday Writing No.8
On the 7th day of January, I and my good old school friend went to watch a little Japanese traditional dram performance which is played by my old school friends.
It was held in front of a Japanese god's house which is in hear temple near the school.
The first song was pretty long and I and Moe gradually got bored in the last part, but in the second song, drams sounded pretty cool and on the third song, only year 6 students performed and my friend Yuuka was in the middle and performed a really short solo fluently.
It sounded pretty cool!
By the way, in the dram members, I found Akari there and her grand mother was there, watching.
And she found I and Moe. Guess what happened after it. OMG, she took us to a French restaurant and let us eat a full coarse lunch! We knew that Akari's grand mother is really nice and kind, so we became all the more reserved. The lunch was pretty good but actually, I and Moe were planning to buy lunch from a cheap convenience store! Unexpected leap! We jumped to a cheap convenience store lunch to a full course lunch! We both said thank you many many times and left there.
Haha...

"Nodame Cantabilay" is a movie about love story between weird girl named Nodame who is a genius of piano and a serious handsome guy named Chiaki who is a condactor of a big orchestra in Palis.
It is a comedy and has many funny jokes and we really enjoyed watching it.

Holiday Writing No.6
On the 4th day of January, my wimpy cousins came again to my grand parents' house to play with me.
Then we decided to play with a mittress. We made a little house with it and Eisei the 5 years old boy asked me to get in there. So I did, guess what had happened to me after 3 seconds, he jumped on me, pulled my hair, and licked my foot! Ill!!!
And what I did was a experiment of checking what Eisei and Miyu are going to do if I act like I'm dead. I really did it. I tried not to move, not to breath with my mouth, and not to react to the things they do to me. Just as I aimed, they soon noticed that I'm not moving at all.
Eisei, what a surprise, he stepped on me, lied on my back, and started to handle me like a dall!
What he did was really tough and hard to endure, but I waited until Miyu start to do something.
And again! What a surprise! I was COMPLETELY AMAZED because the little cute devil Miyu went to call my grand father to rescue me from tough little gang, Eisei!
Soon, as Miyu told him to do, my grand father came and scold Eisei to stop doing bad things like a gang, and rescued me who was trying to act like dead. After 1 second, I completely revivaled and thanked Miyu a lot. For this experiment's result, I was astonished...

Holiday Writing No.5
On 1st of January, as you know, its a start of NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
Yeah! So, let me say "Happy New Year" to everyone who is reading this.
By the way, in Japan, the 1st date of January is called "Oshougatsu"and everyone celebrate this day eating delicious foods called "Osechi" that looks like the picture in right side.
And mostly people go to a temple and make a monetary offering or buy some lucky charm and get a written fortune.
Actually, I couldn't go to temple because I visit to my grand mother's sister's grave but as I took a look on my cousins' written fortune they both got little peaces of papers that said big fortune.
I envied their written fortune a little and wanted to go to temple but couldn't make it because of those wimpy cousins begging me for hide and seek and piggy back. Phewww...
Well, this is it for today, so again, Happy New Year!!!
