FAMILY

Last Saturday my family went to Port Dickson for picnic. My father took us there in his new car.

       We chose Saturday as it would not be as crowded as it always is on Sunday. Thus when we arrived at the popular Teluk Kemang beach at 9 a.m., we were the first there.

       My mother spread out a large mat that she had brought under a tree. She then arranged food and drinks on it. My father, my two brother, my sister and myself headed straight for the beautiful blue water.

       The water was cool and refreshing. We frolicked about playfully while my father kept watch so that we do not venture too far out.

       An hour later, we came out of the sea as the sun got very hot and we did not want to get sunburned. So we sat under the shade of tree and helped ourselves to food and drinks.

       Then we rubbed sun-tan lotion on our skin and plunged back into the water. Only my mother did not join in.

       Soon it was simply too hot under the sun. We were also too tired to carry on. So we took bath at a nearby hotel, packed up and went home cheerfully.
