It was towards the end of autumn. The road was slippery and we had to drive slowly. Everywhere leaves were turning brown and trees were starting to shed off leaves. I was feeling very cooped up after having spent hours in the car. It was a blessing to have finally arrived at our destination.
ReplyDeleteWe stopped the car and I stretched out of the seat. I was wearing a wool sweater and a jacket but the breeze was still bitingly cold. My friend who had been driving almost crawled out and stretched out as well. We stood transfixed by the scene before us. We had seen countless pictures of the place but the magnificence and aura of mystery surrounding the place had eluded the pictures. The slogan "You have to see it to believe it!" rang true here.
I kept my eyes glued to the water surface, scanning it for any reaction. My face might appear nonchalant but my heart was praying hard for the infamous Nessy to make an appearance. Yes! As you might have guessed, I was standing at the banks of Loch Ness, opposite the remnants of Urquhart Castle.
The view was fantastic. Just miles and miles of water, as far as my eyes could see. Honestly, though, that was as far as my memory could be stretched about the visit. Beyond the first impression it made on me, my heart was overriding my senses and I could only remember the anticipation of seeing Nessy.
We sat there waiting and waiting for the appearance of any unusual object, bracing the cold wind as the sun was setting. We simply sat and scanned the water surface, encouraged by stronger water ripples and jumped up at any moving object in the water for hours. Yet nothing happened. The place was eerily quiet and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer. I looked across the lake at the rambling castle and thought of all the ghost stories I had heard about it, imagining what I would do in the event I saw a mysterious figure roaming the place... I snapped out of my wandering imagination as soon as I could feel goosebumps creeping up my shoulders and neck. Granted the place had a creepy atmosphere but I should stay focused if I wanted to see Nessy.
Finally, though, after hours of sitting still, when the sun was almost gone, I turned to my friend and saw his face mirror my disappointment. "Just not our day, and not Nessy's day as well," I soothed him. He nodded and walked towards the car. We left disappointed but not discouraged. One day, we will go again and camp out for days on the banks of the mysterious Loch Ness, checking out every ripple and moving object, facing the cold wind in its quiet solitude.
Hello Vipha,

Sorry, teacher.
DeleteMy family and I went on a visit to a local themed park-Jerudong Park. The place was bustling with people as it is touristy during the school holidays. I jumped out of the car as soon as we arrived because I was very excited.
DeleteThe park has many interesting and exciting rides to offer. One of the most famous rides among the tourists is the Junior Coaster. Although it is called Junior Coaster, it is actually quite scary for a kid to ride on it. I had had three rides on it, and was actually lining up for the fourth.
After a whole day of rides, nighttime eventually crept towards us. The rides look captivating and colorful. We took a photo and left for home.
It was a memorable day for me and my family. I hope that we can visit the park soon.
