Open the door of my room, there is a double bed with two pillows next to the right wall. All of the walls are decorated with the wallpapers that I chose it personally. Beside the top left of the bed is a bedstand, I put so many things on it and never tidy up it basically.
The other corner of the room is a low cabinet which is covered with a lot of beauty products. It had been a desk in that position before to my study, and my mum changed it to the low cabinet later in order to my endless clothes.
Beside that is my big closet which I bought it from IKEA and it is full of my clothes and shoes.
Between the bed and the closet, there is a carpet on the wooden floors. It’s also full of clothes as the whole room is full of clothes.When I get married, I think I will hire an ayi to clean my room which my mum doesn’t allow now.

On the 2nd day we climbed the mountain which we lived on. The tour guide led us to one place where we could start our climb and you could choose to climb or stay behind and play. When half of my colleagues returned / came back / got back we ended / finished our games and went to dinner on the mountain at a place which was 20 minutes drive from there.

One day in the past , I took a rest at home and suddenly found I had nothing to do which was so boring, so I downloaded an app which was about how to spend the weekend by learning something or going out/ going on outings. I chose to play the ukulele which I thought was easy to learn. I reserved a how to play the ukulele lesson from that app. The teacher was a long haired man and had so many tattoos which were very artistic. He could play the guitar and ukulele really well. So I paid for the course for half a year. So far I have learned to play a lot of songs and it has enriched my life.
