Last month, my family went on vacation, but I couldn’t join them because of work. I was excited to have the house all to myself—no siblings making noise, no parents telling me to clean my room. For the first few days, everything was perfect. I ordered my favorite food, watched movies until midnight, and enjoyed the peaceful silence. But on the third night, as I was about to go to bed, the electricity suddenly went out. The whole house became pitch black, and I could hear strange noises coming from the kitchen. My heart started pounding. Was it a ghost? A thief? Or just my imagination? Summoning all my courage, I grabbed my phone’s flashlight and tiptoed towards the kitchen, ready to face whatever was there. As I got closer, I saw a shadow moving! My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Trembling, I shone my flashlight at the “ghost”—only to discover my cat had knocked over a stack of plates! I let out a nervous laugh, feeling both relieved and embarrassed. Just as I was about to return to my room, the electricity came back on. And that’s when I saw my own reflection in the window—messy hair, panicked face—I looked scarier than any ghost! Why was the writer home alone?

Last holiday, my best friend and I decided to take a short two-day trip to Lombok Island. We were excited to explore its beautiful beaches, try the local food, and take amazing photos. On the first day, everything went smoothly—we visited Selong Belanak Beach, ate delicious Ayam Taliwang , and even tried surfing. However, things took a funny turn that night. We booked a cheap hotel to save money, but we didn’t realize how "cheap" it really was. The room had a broken air conditioner, and there were strange noises coming from the ceiling. As we lay in bed, suddenly, a giant gecko fell from the ceiling onto my friend’s pillow! She screamed so loudly that the hotel staff came running, thinking there was an emergency. The next day, we rented a scooter to explore more of the island. Feeling adventurous, we followed a small dirt road, hoping to find a hidden beach. Instead, we got completely lost in the middle of a coconut plantation. To make things worse, we ran out of fuel! We had to push the scooter for almost a kilometer under the hot sun, sweating and laughing at our bad luck. Finally, a kind local helped us by selling us a bottle of gasoline from his house. Despite all the funny mishaps, our trip to Lombok was unforgettable. We left with sunburns, hilarious memories, and a promise to plan better next time! What was the main purpose of the trip?

To enjoy the beautiful beaches and food

To buy souvenirs for their family

One day, my friends and I decided to try Pempek, the famous fish cake from Palembang, Indonesia. We found a small, cozy restaurant that claimed to serve the best Pempek in town. As soon as the dish arrived, the delicious aroma of the vinegar sauce made us even more excited. Without hesitation, I took a big bite of the Pempek kapal selam, expecting a soft, savory taste. But the moment I chewed, I felt an unusual crunch. My friends burst into laughter as I pulled out a plastic spoon that had somehow been fried inside the Pempek! The restaurant owner was just as shocked and quickly apologized, promising to replace my meal.
Feeling adventurous, I decided to try again, this time inspecting the Pempek carefully before taking a bite. The second piece tasted amazing, and I dipped it generously into the sauce, enjoying every flavor. However, just as I was about to finish, my mouth suddenly burned! My friend, laughing uncontrollably, confessed that he had secretly poured extra spicy sambal into my sauce. My face turned red, and I frantically gulped down water while everyone roared with laughter. It was a meal I would never forget—both for the unexpected surprise inside my first Pempek and the fiery prank from my mischievous friend!
What type of food did the writer and their friends decide to try?

Nasi Goreng

Pempek

Satay
