MY OLD FRIEND, BADROL

When I was in elementary school, I had a best friend from Malaysia. His name was Badrol. He was handsome, clever, and very smart. All of my friends and my teachers very loved him. Although all of people loved him, he didn’t become arrogant. He was always kind to all of people. He also gave a help when people had an obstacle. He was a very good boy.

Badrol and I had a good friendship. I was really glad having friend like him. We came from a different family background. Although he came from a rich family. But he also still wanted me to be his friend. He always helped me when I got an obstacle. For example when I was sad because I got a bad score of English subject, he motivated me to survive and also teach me about the English subject that I had not mastered. We always went out together in the weekend. We usually went to a swimming pool and food court. He really like Indonesian tradisional food like sate and gado-gado. He also always visited my house. Because he really like sate and gado-gado. I asked my mother to cooked that. We ate those food together, we had fun together with my family.

One day I was invited by Badrol’s family to get a holliday. I was surprised because his family wanted me to visit his hometown in sabah, Malaysia. This was my first experience to go to Malaysia. After I got an permission from my parents to go there. I and Badrol’s family went to Malaysia by plane. At the plane I and Badrol saw the view from the plane windows. Badrol and I was very happy because the view was very beautiful. When Badrol, his family and I arrived at Malaysia we got a special response from Badrol’s family in sabah. I stayed in his uncle’s home. The atmosphere in sabah wasn’t different from Indonesia, but the taste of tradisional food was very different. I tasted laksa, nasi lemak, and roti canai. Those was very delicious. The next day I was invited to go to twin tower. Over there We toke some photos with the beautiful view of twin tower. After that we went to I city. There were so many play lands over there. We almost visited all of the play lands.

The next thing that made me more surprised was they invited me to watch final football match between Indonesian nasional football team against Malaysia nasional football team in bukit jalil stadium. I was so happy because in the stadium I met many people from Indonesia who watched that match. Although the final result Indonesian nasional team was lose, I still happy because I had not imagine if I was not had a friendship with Badrol probably i could not go to Malaysia and had a great traveling . I never forgot to give thankful to Badrol’s family because of their invitation I had the greatest holiday in my life. I also was grateful had a very kind friend like badrol.
