My interesting vacation at Wedimbo beach

Three months ago… before I spent my vacation in Yogyakarta, the famous city in Indonesia, I had prepared everything before going there. We had a plan to one of beautiful beaches namely Wediombo beach.My friends and I went there in the morning by my friend’s private car, while driving, we saw some beautiful scenery: mountains, forest, and water fall as well as cars passed by.

We arrived at Wediombo beach at 10:15 .There I saw a lot of tourists because it was a famous beach in Yogyakarta.At that time Wediombo beach was very crowded because it was on a holiday and there i could learn one thing,English practicing with a foreign tourist.

James was his name. He was very friendly., That was the first time I spoke English with a foreign tourist. I was nervous, and always felt bad in speaking English, but confident was key of success for me.

At that time I asked many things to the tourist, about his destination,his address and  his interested to Jogja. He was very humble to me, in answering my questions. He said that Jogja was the only wonderful city, not only ‘’The City’’ but people here He was always polite and friendly to me. After we talked and shared one another, finally my friends invited me to return at 02:30 at daylight, I said see you again to the tourist before we went out from the place. It was very interesting holiday for me and my friends were happy.

>>THANK YOU FRIENDS<<

• POEM

=  IS MY COUNTRY PEACE =

If aspiration were no longer heard

To whom our loud voice can delivered

Move on the street in hard condition,shouted loudly,even in subordination of God…

Oh mister…we just want the dream of justice become true.

One day in our senior high school was ever asked by our teacher to all student in the class: what are you going to do for the country? We answered : justice must be served as well as possible.

Hey..president,police and government, get down to the street is not a solution for us

But only an arrangement when our voice is silenced.

Maybe you can step on us, slap, even kick to us, go ahead..!!! but we are very beg not to this country, because it’s a fighting and dignity.

• SHORT STORY

                                           =MY FATHER IS A HERO =

At that night the condition of my house was so cold,that was very different from before. All my family was silenced without any word. Surely my parent thought about how to pay my study tour fee.

Actually i had decided before the day not to join the study tour, but my father forbade me and said, “No..you must keep joining the study tour, go to sleep, and tomorrow dad will pay it.”

After that I followed what my father had said and went to sleep in my room, even though I couldn’t sleep. I tried to closed my eyes and not to think about anything, but my mother always cried in her room.

I really knew why my mother cried,but my father kept on struggle and striven me to join the school activities. I was very proud him.He was the only a figure of man who never let his children sad and shy because of his inability.

At that time, the night was not too late. It was about 08:30 in the evening. The sound of the door being knocked broke the silence in my house. A neighbour came to my house bringing an brown envelope. After the two talked casually, my neighbour handed the envelope to my father.’’This is land payment money a few months ago from the village’’

Instantly my father was shocked.The money that he never imagined before. Suddenly given to him Yes,at that time my father gave his land to the village become a public road.However it was the village policies to replace the land with some amount money.After that mother immediately entered to my room and hold me softly.

Without saying much she gave some money to pay for my study tour fee. Tears

fall without being stopped from our eyes. And that night my family was very gratitude to God for the helping and blessing.
