Correction and Improvement.

Any idea to improve and correct the short diary below? If you make any changes, please note down the reason. Thanks.

I woke up at twelve afternoon after slept for nine hours long. My eyes were still blurred but they did not prevent me to walk to the kitchen.

I searched for my lunch and I saw a packet of mee and a piece of cake.

I thought eating mee would be too much for a person with the intention to lose weight so I ate the cake instead.

Not long after that, I felt full and sleepy. I headed to the living room and lied on the sofa with three seats. Predictably, I slept again.

I woke up at one o'clock afternoon and subconsciously, I proceeded to kitchen again. Still, I saw the packet of mee were on the table. I seems to forget my initial intention to lose weight and I took a plate together with a pair of cutlery. Then, I put the mee on the plate and ate it with the spoon and fork.

After I completed my lunch, I felt sleepy again. I yawned and proceeded to the confortable sofa again and had a quick nap.

I woke up at three and I looked at the surroundings. Dad and mum were not around and the surroundings were really quite. I could not think what should I do and I continued to sleep again.

I woke up at four and finally, I felt I had enough sleep. I took a newspaper and flipped through it to know what were happening in Indonesia recently.

Later, both my parents went back. Mum told me whether I want to join them to eat steamboat as our dinner and

I provided an affirmative answer. We waited for Ali to come and fetch us.

At six sharp, Ali arrived at our house. He fetched dad, mum, brother and me to the southern part of Palembang. We headed to the Kasturi steamboat restaurant. In the middle of our journey, Ali illustrated to us a scene that were happening in Finland two months ago.

"We went to Finland. We rent a taxi and the taxi driver bought us to the hotel. As we reached our landmark, we required the taxi driver to come three days later and send us back to the airport as this will reduce our effort to book the taxi again. She did not understand English and this made our conversation very hard. As a result, we try to explain it in a paper. We drew a picture of an aeroplane, a hotel, arrows and date. The process took fifteen minutes and finally she were able to grasp what was the meaning briefly. She replied: No...you need to make another appointment!"

We laughed but understand that the people live in Finland may have their own native language.

In Kasturi restaurant, there were a boy who came to serve us. Ali tried to explain what were our requirement but he seems not understand. Ali said he was mentally distarded. I asked why he thought so and he explained. I disagreed with him but I react positively.

We spent two hours in the restaurant. I informed the waiter to bill and he nodded. As I received the invoice note, we looked surprised and angry. The dinner were so expensive and it took 150,000 rupiah. Ali made the payment and he told my father no need to pay.

We went back at eight. I took a bath and opened up my personal laptop. I started a WIndows program named Wordpad.

I write the things that were happened few hours ago. For others, It is part of his story (history).
