My mum and I love travelling. Unfortunately, my dad does not. His views of travelling was an extreme dislike, though there was that one memorable vacation that changed everything. The trip that changed it all was our vacation to Bali, Indonesia. With the bustling cities on one end, and peaceful rural areas filled with flora and fauna, it was definitely a trip that was unforgettable. As an avid bike enthusiast, my dad had a huge passion for dirt-biking. It was only then, he managed to grab an opportunity to dirt-biking in Bali. It was a day never to be forgotten, seeing his wide smile after the experience. On the other hand, my mum and I treasured the luxurious spas and uniquely nostalgic sunset views. Those sceneries will forever be embedded in our minds.

I still remembered the first time i went overseas to Tokyo Japan.I went with my cousins and family in late november 2016.
It was the first time travelling to other countries rather than malaysia and sentosa.
It was our dream to travel to a cold weather country and to eat different cultural food. Since young, my cousins and i dreamed to go to our dreamland of the world, ‘Disneyland’. It was even more memorable as it was my first time riding a roller coaster.Stepping foot on the first roller coaster ride lifted my excitement and happiness.I then unleased my inner chakra and rode all the roller coasters with my cousins and family. After that we went to eat a Japanese buffet and my inner demons got unchained and i started feasting

in 2019, i went to Taiwan with my parents and relatives (with a mni travel grp). Usually whenever i travel, it will just be my parents and i -> so whenever i want to play i.e rollar coaster, it will just be me myself as my parents are not that interested -> not fun. But that year was different especially how my cousin followed along the trip too, making the trip more memorable.

- my cousin caught a dinosaur 🦖 soft toy using claw machine and gave it to me as a gift

-other than my family, there was also a malaysian family travelling along together with us. We were all friendly to one another as we were from the neighbouring countries. They also took care of me like a family member.

-tour guide was also companionable

what made the trip memorable was how the driver quarrelled with the tour guide as we did not reach the place on time. but my dad was like the “hero” who solved their problems which was kind of funny

One vacation that i went to with my family was to Australia,Perth. We went there for about two weeks. It was a unique experience to me. My family and i were living in an air bnb house. It was diffferent from the other trips i went to as we always stayed in hotels. I got to experience what living in one of the houses in Perth was like. There was one time when it started raining and we didn’t have umbrellas so my family and i were just walking in the rain. The weather was cold too as i went there during winter. We wanted to go to a museum but we did not know where it was. We were just aimlessly walking around and shivering in the cold. After a while, my family and i decided to wait at a bus stop till it stopped raining. By the time it stopped raining, it was evening and the attraction was closing. In the end, we did not go to the museum. We went somewhere to eat dinner and it started raining again. The restaurant was not open yet so we had to wait outside. The people in the restaurant saw us waiting and let us in. The people there were really nice and friendly and served us the food before the restaurant even opened. Another thing i like were how friendly everyone was there. I hope to go there again after olevels

My family and I travelled to universal studios in a bus. It is a new experience for both my family and I as we travelled most of the time by car. We were excited to start a new adventure. For me, it was hard to talk to my father while driving in a car as he had to focus on driving and not the conversation. However, by travelling on bus we learned the different roads and where will it lead us, through my father. This enhanced my knowledge about it.

A few years ago, my family and I went on the first ever holiday trip to Jeju Island. I felt so excited as it was my first time travelling overseas on a plane. When my family and I were on Jeju Island, we went hiking on the mountain. The mountain was tall and steep. We spent many hours hiking the mountain and it was a very tough time for us. Even though it was tiring, we tried our best to persevere and hike to the peak of the mountain. Finally, we did it and we were very proud of each other. When we were walking down the mountain, it was so unfortunate that the weather was bad. We brought umbrellas and raincoats in case we need them. It rained heavily and the wind was so strong that our clothes were wet. However, it was a wonderful time hiking on the mountain with my family and I enjoyed this trip very much :)

I don't really go on holidays anymore and I never really did travel. However, a few years back, my family and I travelled to Penang for June holidays. I really hated going out, but I wasn't given a choice. However, when we arrived, I didn't find the trip too bad. We met up with our relatives and hanged out. We went shopping, had a bbq and celebrated my cousin's bday. We stayed there for a few weeks before returning back to Singapore. The trip was surprisingly fun and we enjoyed it.

There was once I went to Phuket, Thailand, when I was 10 with my family during the June Holidays. We stayed there for about 4 days, 3 nights. Throughout those 3 days, we explored different places, and different malls. I remember visiting a place that allowed us to ride on elephants. We went to a hut and waited for the trainers to arrive with an elephant. As we rode on the elephant, we were told some facts about elephants. One of the most surprising facts being the fact that elephant feces could be made into coffee. The whole ride lasted for about two hours, and we even took pictures with the elephants, which is framed in our living room. This was a completely new experience for me, and it was something I never thought I’d ever do. I really hope that I could experience this again for the first time, maybe after the National exams I would visit Phuket, after all it has been 6 years since I last visited. Since my family and I rarely spend time together as we are all busy with our school work, and just work in general, I’d say that this was the most enjoyable family vacation.

One of my most memorable one has to be my trip to Japan. It was always my parents dream to go back to Japan as they had never forgotten the great atmosphere and people. So after my PSLE in 2018, we finally made our trip to Japan, Tokyo. We traveled many unique places around Tokyo, i dont really remember the specific names but I remember going to the unique shrines and visiting the crowded streets that are filled with the great night life. My favourite part of the whole trip had to be shopping.  I remembered how I would drag my parents in to the endless stores that were in front of me. Despite how they kept saying they wouldn’t find anything great, they ended leaving the store with more things than me. I remember laughing as they had to carry heavy bags filled with figurines of their favourite anime.  I spend two weeks over there and till this day i still have many photos of my trip on my phone. I also brought many  souvenirs back as i wanted some memory of this great experience. Truly it was a great trip and it was my first time ever going to a far country. As i usually would go to either Thailand or Hong Kong for a 4 day trip but this was my first time ever going to Japan and for a long vacation too. It was indeed relaxing and incredible.  After this trip, i realised that there are still many more countries to explore out there which are filled with even more adventures and scenery that we will never forget. So hopefully i am able to travel with my family more as its not all the time i can spend with my family.

When I was primary five, me and my distant family in Malaysia went to Taiwan for a vacation. Having not met so long i was extremely excited to be able to see my cousins again. We took many stops around taiwan, each of them would always be a beautiful scenery. But the two places that i will never forget, alishan and the night market.  The nightmarket offers a variety of delights, but especially their chicken cutlet. I really enjoy eating good food, that piece of chicken me and my cousins shared was scrumptious, very addicting. Alishan is a huge mountain though the cold was insufferable, the scenery there is nothing ive ever seen before. At night would be a stary night sky, morning was a golden sunrise. Those two places in Taiwan would be a place i want to go back with my family again with my cousins again in the future.

In 2019, I went on vacation with my family to Malaysia Johor Bahru. I was really excited as it was the first time that the whole family went overseas. We did not do activities but we had eaten a lots of delicious dishes. Firstly,we went to eat one of the famous dishes in Malaysia which is Bak Kut Teh and it was so tasty that I really love it. After that, we went to massage. We went to try different dishes and desserts in shopping mall like curry chicken, laksa and cakes. One of my favorite dishes was cake as the plate had very cute cartoon drawn by the server which was Winnie the Pooh that I had not seen in Singapore. This makes me feel enjoyable and I took pictures of it. This trip to Malaysia was my first enjoyable and memorable memory with my whole family. And the food in Malaysia was delicious and appetizing. I could not forget how was the food taste. This really make my trip enjoyable and fun!

When i was primary 6,together, my cousins , family and I, we went to Malaysia, Genting for a vacation. After reaching there via a travelling van, we were extremely joyful as the ride took nearly 6 hours. For most of the Genting Trip, i felt like the most memorable part was that we went to an amusement park that is in Genting, with plenty of rides for us to choose. We ended up trying most of the rides and also bought some food along with it . It was particularly memorable to me as i was able to have fun together with my family and cousin.

In 2017, I went to Thailand. I went to the zoo and saw trainers feeding crocodiles. There was one incident that I remembered clearly and that was when we were riding an elephant, my slippers dropped and since the elephant was huge,we couldn't climb down it in the middle of the ride. But unexpectedly the trainer asked the elephant to pick my slippers and it actually understood it. To me, the elephant riding was the best experience I had in the entire trip.
I also remembered that there were unique taxis there which was similar to a motorcycle just that it had more seats and was also sheltered. As we were returning to our hotel, the driver suddenly drove to an alley that was very dim. This made us worried as we thought we were being kidnapped. But we later found out that it was actually a shortcut to our hotel.

in 2016, my family and i went on vacation to bangkok. besides the countless pleasant actaivites that we parficipatd in, the most memorable experience was when we visited the Dialogue In The Dark museum. We were led into the museum, but it was pitch dark. The guide was guiding us through the experience just by their voice. It was tough to move about in the dark without being familiar with the surroundings, but as a family, we eventually succeeded. After we finished the tour, we realised that the guide that was leading us in fact blind. This experience really made me feel for the blind, thus it was the most memorable experience throughout the entire vacation.

one of the most enjoyable vacation i’ve been on was in 2014. my family and i went on a trip to KL and JB. in KL we visted the famous twin towers. this made my eyes sparkle in awe as the towers were so symmetrical that it fascinated me. we went together with our relatives in malaysia whom we met in melaka as well. after our trip in melaka ,we went over to jb to go to legoland! as a 8 year old kid, i was extremely excited as i was able to go on many rides there together with my cousins whom were around my age. i vividly remember the time when there was a ride which i couldn’t go on as i was too short. all my other family members could go on that dragon rollercoaster and i was the only one who had to sit out. of course my lovely mother sat out with me as i was having a breakdown due to not being able to go on the ride together with the rest. but soon after, my dad bought me cotton candy which made me happy immediately. these are some of the vivid memories that are still etched in my heart till this day. i would really love to visit these memorable places again together with my family and relatives to reminisce about the memories we’d made 8 years ago! therefore this was my most favourite and enjoyable vacation i’ve ever had.

this trip was when i was primary 3 which was the last time i ever went beyond southeast asia for a holiday. it was winter that season so it was freezing cold, at one point it was at -15°C. the most memorable experience was when visiting jiu zai gou in si chuan, china which is a magnificent waterfall. when we reached there i was amazed as it was the first time i ever went somewhere real that resembled the snow city in Singapore and played with real snow! it was so cold that my whole family was trembling as we didn't prepare clothes suitable for such unexpected temperatures and we were glad that we survived through that experience. i was super touched by their care and concern for me through out. at that place, there was only squat toilets which was an uncomfortable experience for me and made me feel more appreciative of the seating toilets we have here in Singapore.i found out that afew years after i went to this place that a landslide occured which caused mass destruction of a large area including the hotel we lived in which was supposedly a place really far from jiu zai gou. besides we went to explore tibetan culture through some performances and museums. so, it was an incredibly memorable and enlightening experience for me.

There was this one vacation in 2019 which was very enjoyable for me. My family and i went to China for the first time and it was fascinating. The people there in China were very different than the one in Singapore as they were very loud. We visited some attractions there, like the great wall of China. The food there were good like the Chongqing Mala hotpot but unfortunately, it caused me to be stuck at my accomodation for the whole next day. After this trip , i was determined to bring my family to another vacation next time with my own hard-earned money.

My brother and I went to visit the Isle of Portland a few years back in 2018. He planned the whole trip and the place was a quiet fishing village with breathtaking views of the ocean and the mountains. My brother is friends with a tour guide there, so he brought us around Portland to the various locations and taught us about the history of them and why they are so important. I’ve never been to a place like this , it was very peaceful and the night life there was unlike the nightlife that I usually experience in the cities of Singapore or New York. The food there was spectacular and easily made the trip even better. The best part of the trip was having been able to spend time with my brother alone. He is much older than me and we barely get to spend time together at all. This trip allowed us to go hiking and explore many areas of the island with complete freedom and go through many experiences together. One specific being where we walked through a circus set up by the beach at night. My brother and I aren’t really scared of clowns and mirrors , but this was the night that would change that. I remember how scared and paranoid we were walking through one of the tents that was filled with mirrors, the horror of that situation peaked when my brother and I could see each other. We slowly realised we were only looking at each other’s reflections and were both lost in the maze of mirrors. Luckily we survived and I escaped the maze with my brother waiting for me outside , the shock and his facial expressions when I saw him made it seem like he had seen a ghost, or a clown in this case. Being able to travel overseas to other countries alone with my brother really gave me the chance to bond with him and I’m truly grateful for it.

During the holidays, my family decided to go for an escape room at Vivo city. That was the one of the most  enjoyable moment I had with my family. Everyone one was excited as we heard the story line and prepared for the game to start. My brother couldn’t even keep still. While trying to escape, We did have our difficulties. My and my brother almost got into a fight as we disagreed with each other. Luckily, no fights broke out. We continued to solve the next riddle as our parents got us together and solve the riddle. At the end, we managed to escape and had a great time in the escape room. Therefore, this was one of the most enjoyable experience I had with my family.

A vacation that I really enjoyed with my family is when I went to Universal Studios in Singapore during the December holidays in 2021. I’ve always wanted to go to USS for a very long time, especially since I’ve never rode on a rollercoaster before. So, my cousins decided to plan a day where they would bring me to USS, almost like a bonding day trip with my cousins! I remember how excited I was when we stepped foot into the entrance of USS. My cousins immediately took me to the Revenge of the Mummy ride as they had constantly boasted to me about how it was their favourite ride. I was a bit nervous in the first place, however the moment the ride began to gain its speed, I was over the moon. We were all screaming our lungs out, filled with adrenaline rush. One of my cousins was screaming the loudest, it was so funny to hear her shriek in fear that I couldn’t help but laugh throughout the whole ride. That was truly one of the memorable experience I had during the trip!

One of the most enjoyable vacation i’ve ever experienced was my trip to Bangkok. It was my last trip before the sudden pandemic back in 2020. I stepped out of the airport and got welcomed with the amazing and cooling weather. I remembered the second day of the vacation vividly. We visited a cafe through a tuktuk transport which was a memorable experience as it was my first time riding it. I was able to admire the beautiful scenery of the urban buildings and the unique wet markets in the city. However, we got scammed by the tuktuk driver. He charged us almost twice the price of a normal taxi driver in Bangkok. We were extremely devastated but the trip had to carry on. Therefore, this was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever experienced as this trip taught my family and I to be more self aware of the different type of drivers offered all around the world.

My relatives and I barely talk to one another, so this outing was memorable. When I was 7 years old, my aunt, cousins, brother and I took a trip to Universal Studios in Singapore. I remember feeling ecstatic as I had never been to USS before. For the first time, my family
felt closer than ever. I can still recall my brother begging my aunt to go on the Cyclon rollercoaster ride. My cousins shared lots of laughs and teased our aunt for getting scared of the mummy ride.

We did have some mishaps. I had terrible motion sickness when I was younger, which meant that I could not stand riding rollercoaster rides after the ride. I had to sit out and wait for my family to come back from one of the rides. However, on the way back home in my aunt’s car, we blasted music and sang along. This made my day a lot better. Although it was not all that great, I had the most fun I’ve ever had in a long time.

We went on a road trip to Kuala Lumpur. We drove from SG to KL straight, it was a 6 hour drive. My brother was responsible to drive up and i was responsible to keep him awake as we had to wake up early that day to skip the jam at checkpoint. My brother never really travelled with us when we went overseas as he is always up to something, so this was the first trip that my full family actually went on. What i like about this trip was my brother and I having a good time chatting and karaoke while eating the popcorn we brought👍. As we don’t talk that much at home. Therefore, this was a vacation that I enjoyed

There was one time that my parents brought me to Phuket, Thailand. It was memorable that I can remember till this day. It was in sec 1. On the first day of the trip, my parents brought me to some temples so that we could give prayers to the Buddha. After a few hours we went to the famous mango sticky rice and headed to the Pratunam night market which was very near to my hotel. Since the things sold there were very cheap, my parents decided to buy more things and even bought some of the things I even wanted! Looking forward to the next day, I held my excited emotions in my heart.
My parents drove from the hotel to Khao Yai park where there was many sunflower plantations, taking some photos, we decided to harvest them and collected the sunflower seeds for consumption. It was indeed a memorable experience as we are able to work together as a family, and achieve our goal. My brother tripped himself into the pond, leaving him covered with mud. Nevertheless, I feel fortunate living in Singapore as many countries are facing poverty and starvation which tells me that I should not take things for granted.

This took place at the end of 2018. My parents wanted to go overseas and travel to relax so they decided to plan a trip to Osaka, Japan with my cousins and relatives. It was the winter season at the time so we were all freezing when we arrived. We visited different tourists sites like the Osaka Castle and the Nature Walk at Minoo Park to see the big nature waterfall. These different destinations made me learn more about the culture and traditions in Japan. What I enjoyed the most during the trip is that I get to taste the different delicious street foods like Takoyaki, Ramen and fried dumplings. The scene of the sellers and customers communicating with each other casually felt so heartwarming as they look so comfortable with each other. However, one thing that was not enjoyable to me was the cold weather that kept making me shake during the whole trip. I had to wear many layers of clothes just to keep warm. Despite that, I still enjoyed the entire vacation as I get to bond with my family. I definitely would love to go back there.

During this year's June Holidays, I had a sudden trip planned by my dad to visit India, for the last three days. I would say that this trip was really memorable because I got to meet my maternal family for the first time. I felt very shocked by how enthusiastic and welcoming everyone was during the gathering at the event hall. And this was when I also realised how much I've been missing out on this entire time. Unfortunately, I had to catch my return flight on that same day abruptly, which made me felt uneasy as the trip was incomplete. When I landed in Singapore, this whole trip felt surreal but interesting at the same time.

When I was in primary 4, I went to Hong Kong with my family and itvwas a very fun and nice expirence. I was very happy as in Hong Kong we went to Disney land and it was e very fun experience as I got to see alot of interesting things and the rides were very fun. One of the rides which was very interestin  was when i rode a toy story ride. All my favourite characters were there and the ride was very scary and fun at the same time. It went up and down and it was veey fun. It was a very fun experience as I got to recollect all my childhood memories. I was truly fateful and it was a very fun and memorable experience.

Back in 2016, I went to US with my family. It was very fun as it was my first time there and there and we visited many landmarks. We drove through multiple cities and got to meet people from diverse cultures. It was definitely a unique and eventful experience and I will definitely go back!

I recall once going to Thailand with my family. The hotel's conditions were rather questionable, but still of no hindrance the enjoyment we had there. We signed up for various programmes to occupy ourselves from morning to night each day. We reached there at almost midnight, and were supposed to sleep. Excited for what was to come, I stayed up for nearly two hours later than the others before succumbing to my sleepiness. On the first day, we zoom zoom on mountain trails on ATV very fast. I kid you not when I say they let a kid ride on an ATV alone. We also see and play with monke. Next day, ride elephant and good lunch. Visit temple have nice and interesting tour. Third day, go beach, build big big fort. I also dug a graveyard and buried people. I tried swimming and almost drowned. It was very fun. On the fourth morning, we enjoyed our final scrumptious breakfast and packed our belongings. We hopped on the bus and headed straight for the airport. Deported. It was sad to leave but we definitely enjoyed ourselves.

This trip took place during the December holidays in 2017. My family and I went to Taiwan and we had a fun time there. It was memorable for me as it was our first trip ever since I started school in primary 1. We went to many destinations and I enjoyed the scenic views in Taiwan, with nature surrounding us. We visited the night market there, enjoyed delicious food and tried out carnival games. We tried out the famous "smelly tofu" and I was really surprised that my parents actually liked it. My family and I managed to bond closer and I believe it was a truly enjoyable trip for my family members as well.

back in 2016 i had the opportunity to travel to france with my family. it was the first time i had been to europe so the trip will always be eteched in my mind. it was even more memorable as i went with my extended family. most of my family resides in australia and i only see them on a yearly basis so travelling together as a group of 13 to paris was a special experience. since young it has always been a dream to visit the ' happiest place on earth ' - Disneyland. playing at the themepark with my family was a rare opportunity as my family is not very adventurous. Therefore this family vacation was memorable as i visited disneyland and went to france with my family.

A few years ago before covid was a thing. Me and my family went on a trip to Japan . Even though I went reluctantly as I find other people irritating. My parents force me to follow them. To my surprise the trip was really enjoyable, me and my family went to the theme park and we went shopping with a lot of anime goods and limited addition manga which make me hop in joy a item that I bought which I find it the most valuable was the zero two statue
