How to change a tyre

I think most people in the world know how to drive a car but at the same time many people don’t know how to change their tyre so today I am going to tell you how the tyre can be changed because it is very important to know.

First the car is parked in a safe place. Then the nuts are loosened and the car is jacked up. After that the nuts are removed and also the tyre. Next the spare wheel is put on and the nuts are tightened. Finally the car is lowered and the tools are put away and the car is ready to be driven.

I think it is easy to change a tire but at the same time it is exhausting and also it is dangerous if you are not careful while you are changing your tyre because you could be injured by the tools.

A Journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They traveled by car, boat and ferry.

They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rives by ferry, stopped in Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Then they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept in bunk beds with no air conditioning. It was a novel experience.

The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.

That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.

Last holiday

Last weekend was the longest weekend for this semester so I had planned for one of the days to go with my friend to Dubai Mall and another day with my family to Global Village.

On Friday I went to Dubai Mall with my friend. We went to Sega Republic and played many games. Then we went to the cinema and saw an action movie with Dwayne Johnson called Faster and it was a nice movie. After that we had dinner In the Gourmet burger restaurant in Marina Dubai Mall and the food was very delicious. It was a really nice day. On Sunday I went with my wife and daughter to Global Village. First we looked around and we saw two shows there; the first show was about African traditional dance and the second was about Indian traditional dance and it was quite nice. Then we had some shopping in some villages. Last we had dinner in Applebee’s restaurant which was very delicious. That day was quite nice for me because most of the time was shopping. On the other two days I spent my time at home watching TV programs and movies with my family.

At last I would say I really enjoyed the weekend. It was really a very nice weekend. I hope we have another one the same as this one.
