Laetitia's holiday reflections 2H (07)

In all, the holidays were a little dull for me as did not go overseas nor did i go out often, particularly the first few weeks which were spent on my CCA, Chinese Orchestra. We had many practice time-slots throughout each week and the practices were very lengthy not to mention a little boring. However, all the practicing from CCA had paid off when i took the exam for Grade 6 in 二胡 during the earlier parts of December. Almost all the time spent after CCA practices ended were dedicated to practicing for my music exam. It proved worth it after i received the results stating that i had passed with merit. 

The highlight for my holidays however, was my birthday. I went iceskating with my friends and successfully passed the 2 hours in the rink without falling, even though it got a blister after that, i had a great time spending my birthday with my friends. We had a lot of catching up to do as we didn't see much of each other during the holidays due to our busy schedules in the earlier parts of the holiday. The presents didn't matter of course but they were all lovely and i felt very blessed to have such amazing friends. After a nice dinner (and cake) with my family, i headed home and thus sums up my entire birthday. The cake was one of the best cakes i had in my entire life. 

Christmas was very well spent at my cousin's house playing and completing some unfinished homework. We then exchanged presents and spent the rest of the night lazing on the sofa watching television programs. It was a very warm and relaxing christmas. 

Although slightly uneventful, i had a great time bonding with my family and spending time with my friends outside school.
