WRITING 3 NARRATIVE TEXT: UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

4 year ago, I had an unforgettable experience in my life. It was when I had study tour with my friend to Java. We went to Jakarta, Bandung and Yogyakarta for 7 days. We went there by an airplane. It was my first time to have a trip using an airplane so, I little bit worry and nervous. My father drove me to the airport and he waited for me until my airplane took off. There were some moments during the trip when I felt so happy and excited but also I felt so fear and worry at the same time.

When I arrived at Jakarta, I felt so happy and excited because it was my first time to spend my holiday in another city. I usually spent my holiday at home or at my hometown in Tabanan. I was so excited and I couldn’t wait for the trip. Although I felt so happy and enthusiastic, I felt some worry and nervous. it was because it was my first time to have long trip and stay far away from my parent. Sometime I felt homesick and want to back home soon. However I felt like that I still enjoy the trip. I thought it would be fun and I could have some good experience with my friend.

In the evening after we looked around Jakarta, we had plan to take arrest in the hotel. Before we check in hotel we had our dinner at the restaurant. After we finish the dinner, we tried to find our hotel to take a rest. On the bus I felt so weird. I saw the bus driver just turned around on the same road for several time. He couldn’t find the hotel location. He tried to find our hotel slowly and after 5 times we turned around the road, we finally found the hotel. After we arrived at the hotel, I had some bad feeling. Some of my friends were also felt the same. The hotel seems so weird and mysterious. The teacher decides the room for us and for one room it consists of 4 students. However, my room just consists of three students because one of my friends got scared and wanted to sleep with my teacher. My room was in 5^th floor so, we need to use elevator to reach it. When I wanted to press the button I felt strange because there wasn’t 4^th floor in the button. My friend told me that was very common in every building in Java to pass through one of the existing floor in the building. That floor just can reach by using stairs. At night before we sleep, we had prayed together in the room. At 3 o’clock in the morning, I suddenly woke up. I had a scary nightmare. I dreamt about the hotel and saw many bad things about the hotel especially in my room. It was my first time I dreamt about a place that I saw for the first time. I was very scared and i couldn’t sleep again. I played some game on my hand phone until morning.

After we had our breakfast at hotel we continued our trip to Bandung. At bus i wanted to tell my friend about my nightmare but i afraid they didn’t believe me and said i was paranoid. I kept it alone until my roommate told me that yesterday night she heard some noise. She heard somebody knocked our door for three times. Because she was too scared she didn’t open the door. I shocked when I heard that. I didn’t hear anything at that time and I also told her about my nightmare. There were some weird incidents after we leaved the hotel. Some of my friends lose their hand phone and money. Some of my friends got possessed and collapse and there were many strange things that happened in my bus. We need to wait until the situation would better. We had to cancel some of our plan and we change our schedule. We decided to continue our trip to Yogyakarta. Because the distance from Bandung to Yogyakarta was too far and need long time to take, we had to sleep in the bus for a night. After we arrived at Yogyakarta we spent our time for 3 days there. We didn’t feel worry or fear like before. We could enjoy the trip and visit many place there. In short, when we were on our way to back to Bali, we almost got an accident. Our bus almost crushed a truck. We were shocked and panicked. Some of my friends were cry. We continued our way to Ketapang harbour slowly. In early morning, we crossed to Bali.

That was an experience that full of emotion that ever had. I felt happy, excited, fear, weird, worry, shocked at the same time. Because of that bad experience, I always got paranoid about a trip to Java or another city. I will never forget this experience. This trip was so challenging.
