4 FAMILY SHOPPING TRIP Last Sunday morning, my family and I went shopping. My father, Haji Ali drove his blue car and my mother, Hjh Nina sat next to him. My sister, Rina and I were sitting at the back. “Which shop are we going?” asked Rina. “We are going to Hua Ho Yayasan,” replied my mother. Our first stop was at the clothing section. My father needed a new jacket for work. He choose a gray jacket to match his gray pants. My sister had found a pink dress for herself while I was trying a pair of jeans. My mother did not buy anything for herself. “The total is one hundred and twenty-five dollars,” said the cashier. I was surprised that our clothes were that expensive. The cashier packed our clothes in a paper bag. I took the bag from the counter while my father was paying our purchase. Next, we went to the grocery‟s sections. This was my mother‟s favourite section. She handed a long list of groceries to my father. She asked my father to look for things from the list while she shopped at the fresh meat and vegetables sections. “Let‟s get a trolley,” said my father. He knew I loved pushing the trolley around. We spent nearly an hour shopping the groceries. My sister and I bought a box of cereal for our breakfast. It was nearly one o‟clock when we had our lunch. My father took us to the food court at the basement area. There were several food vendors available. I loved their Kolomee so I ordered it for myself. We talked about our shopping trip while waiting for our food to arrive.
5 “Do you like grocery shopping?” asked Mother. “I don‟t like the fresh meat section, they are smelly!” replied Rina. My parents laughed at her. Finally, we head back to our car. We loaded our purchases into the car boot. It was nearly full. My sister was sleeping during our drive home. As for me, I sang my favourite song with my father all the way home.

On Monday morning I got up early and went for a walk after breakfast. In the afternoon I played football with Azri and Josua. It was a very good game and we won, 2-1. On Tuesdsay, I went swimming at the swimming pool with Azri. On Wednesday, I went to Kuala Belait. I visited my aunt Sophie and Uncle Hamad. They have a big house in Seria. On Thursday, I went to Josua‟s house to play. We played „Need for Speed‟ on his computer. On Friday, I went to the mosque with my father and then later I helped him to plant some flowers in the garden. I go to computer class at 2.00 every Saturday afternoon. My Teacher is Hajah Minah. She is very nice but she makes us work very hard. The best day in the holiday was Sunday because we all went to Tungku Beach for a picnic. We ate BBQ chicken and fried rice on the beach. I played football with my father and we went swimming in the sea. We had a great time. What did you do in the holiday, Shahrin? Best wishes to you and your family. Write soon. From, Azman
