A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed

"Phew! Finally! I finished my science homework!" I exclaimed. I looked at my masterpiece and smiled. I had been working my heart out for it for the whole weekend now. I quickly packed up and got out of the study room. I walked around my house to circulate my blood in my numb legs and stretch my body. "Mum? Dad?" I called out. "Your parents have gone over to Malaysia with your aunt to get some new year goodies." my grandpa said to me in chinese. I gave a sigh and walked to my sisters' room. "Hey...Dammn it! You guys are asleep already." I called then groaned inwardly and went to my kitchen to get something to eat. "What can I do now. How about the computer or the PlayStation Portable?Nah, not allowed to play them. What about my neighbors? No wait, they are at their cousins." I thought and cursed silently. Oh god! This is so boring!

Wait. I know what I could do. I went to my room and got my newly bought book, my MP3 amd my headphones. I got to my bed and plopped down on it . I took my pillows and arranged it comfortably. I plugged my headphones into the MP3 and put them on. Leaning back on my bed, I slowly opened the book and started and reading it. This book was the third in stallment in a series. It is set in 1613 and was about a young English sailor who wanted to sail to the Japans. In the end they got to Japan but were shipwrecked, his father killed ruthelessly by ninja. He was then adopted by a powerful and respectable samurai. He was then trained to become a samurai in his benefactor's school. Here he trained to exact revenge on his father's murderor. He is  constantly bullied by a certain group of people just because he is a gaijin, a foreigner. He also falls in love with a cute japanese girl who is his benefactor's niece. Currently, a civil war is about to break out and he is ordered to go for it. I quickly got engrossed into the story...

"Hey! What was that for!" I shouted. The book had just been grabbed out of my hands and my MP3 unplugged.Ihad just reached the climax of the book. I pulled down my headphones and looked up. My mum stared backed down at me angrilly. " I have been calling for you for ages. You shold not have put the music at such a high volume. Do you know what the time is?! It's already dinner time!" I looked at my watch and noticed that the entire afternoon had just flown past while I was reading my book. I quickly got of the bed and rushed downstairs to eat my food.

At least, I got to have a relaxing afternoon, I thought later on. It was one of the best afternoon for the month.Here is a video on the latest book: The ring of earth
