This holiday I'm going to have camping with my friends. I would rather choose to spend my
time with my friends than my family because the last holiday I can't spend my time with
them. So, I will have camping at the camp area a little far from my house. I will make sure
this holiday I really have fun with them! I would like to prepare all the things that I need. And
also I will bring my new stuffs for my make up from my parents who just came back from
France. I think I will make them envy, hahaha. but, that's not my reason now. I would like to
bring all the things that we should play at the camp. I'm going to bring so many ingridients to
make new food at there too, because i know that my friend and also me, we like to create or
make new recipes.
