The sound of laughter filled my ears when i stepped into Siloso beach. All around me, i could see many people having fun with their families and friends. There were children building sandcastles, people taking a dip into the sea and also people playing volleyball. Today, my parents decided to bring us to the Siloso beach to reward us for putting a lot of effort in our studies.

My sister and I helped my parents to find a shady spot to place our picnic mat. After that, i immediately went to build my own sandcastle. I wanted to build something like a big fort to keep water out from the castle. With the help of my sister, we managed to gather a huge pile of mildly wet sand and piled them together and shaped them into a wall. I enjoyed watching the waves crashing against the wall, water not being to find a way inside. We then began to build a sandcastle. It took us a whole morning as we had to make sure everything was perfect, from the exterior of the castle to the decorations on it.

After a whole morning of playing with the sand, i realised that we were very dirty, so i went into the cooling water of the sea. When i came back, i was as extremely wet. My mother brought out all the food we had prepared and we began to tuck in hungrily. I wolfed down any food i could lay my hands on. We had brought many bacon sandwiches and many packets of chips. Soon, as the sun was setting, we decided to leave. I looked back at the beach one last time and wondered when we would come back again.
