[00:19.00]It all happened so quickly.
[00:20.00]Mum heard a week ago that she had been promoted to Sales Manager.
[00:21.00]She said,'Let's have a holiday to celebrate,shall we?'
[00:22.00]Of course,we all agreed!
[00:23.00]Within a couple of days,we arrived here,at the Rasa Sayang.
[00:24.00]It's a great hotel with lots of facilities as you can see from the enclosed cuttings
[00:25.00]I loved it from the moment I got out of the coach.
[00:26.00]We've spent a lot of time at the beach.I've also taken up tennis.
[00:27.00]I'd never played before.A coach is teaching me how to play properly.
[00:28.00]Danny keeps saying I ought to join in the activities for little kids,
[00:29.00]even though I'm 16.
[00:30.00]Big brothers can be so annoying,can't they?
[00:31.00]Yesterday at the beach some people were doing paragliding.
[00:32.00]When Danny saw it,he said,'I want to have a go at that!',and Dad said 'So do I
[00:33.00]At first Mum didn't want to do it,and neither did I.
[00:34.00]But Dad and Danny started teasing us,saying that women weren't as brave as men
[00:35.00]In the end we couldn't put up with it any longer.
[00:36.00]You know how Mum likes to stand up for women,don't you?
[00:37.00]So she said she would have a go,and so did I
[00:38.00]Dad and Mum went up,and then it was my turn.
[00:39.00]The staff helped me to put on the parachute.They checked it very carefully
[00:40.00]I was very nervous,and wanted to put it off until another day,but I couldn't
[00:41.00]I stood in the water,and the boats started.The parachute filled with wind
[00:42.00]Then the force pulled me out of the water.I took off into the sky.
[00:43.00]It was so wonderful!I suddenly found I was floating 100 feet in the air!
[00:44.00]The flight lasted for about ten minutes.I loved it!
[00:45.00]But when Danny went up the flight made him feel sick,
[00:46.00]and he had to go and lie down for the rest of the day!
[00:47.00]Since then Danny has stopped teasing me,and I have got on with him much better
[00:48.00]We took an excursion round the island yesterday.
[00:49.00]The best place was the famous Snake Temple.Inside it we saw dozens of snakes
[00:50.00]One man was putting a big snake around visitors and taking photographs.
[00:51.00]Dad insisted we all did that.I've never really liked snakes.
[00:52.00]I asked,'It won't bite me,will it?'The man just laughed!
[00:53.00]Luckily,it seemed very tame.
[00:54.00]Anyway,I must go and have my tennis lesson now.
[00:55.00]We were sorry to hear in your last letter that you had the flu.
[00:56.00]I hope you are getting over it now.Do look after yourself,won't you?'
[00:57.00]I'll show you my souvenirs when we all get together soon.
