Weekends is the time for celebration. Even in a tight budget, the excitement can still continues. It was a hectic week in UTP but we managed to complete all the tasks and assignments by Friday. Therefore, we decided to celebrate the weekends. Unfortunately, we were broke at that time. Nevertheless, RM 20 was our budget and no matter what happens, we are going to enjoy this weekend.

It was Saturday morning, our plan for today was staying at my cousin's house in Lumut. My cousin picked us up that morning, and the journey took around 45 minutes. Since my cousin's house located near a beach, we spend the evening by playing beach soccer and beach volleyball. At night, we bought some snacks and started a campfire near the beach. We were exchanging ghost stories and sang along some of our favourite tunes. We slept at around 2.00 a.m. and on the next day, my cousin will take us all back to UTP.

On the next day, we woke up late, which was around 1 p.m. In consequence, we skip breakfast and have lunch instead. Then, my cousin took us back to UTP and we arrived there around 3.30 p.m. Our activities on that evening was hanging out at the park. We managed to play kayak and after that, we went to the sport complex to play soccer. It was a bit tiring, but we managed to obtain free foods and beverages near the Mosque, since there was an event that was just occured right after we finished playing soccer. Perhaps luck was on our side on that moment because we really save our money on that evening. Next, we went back to our respective rooms by 6.30 p.m. and prepare for dinner.

We had dinner at V3 cafe. Fortunately, one of my friends happens to have a relative working at the cafe. Thus, our meal was entirely free of charge. After that, we bought some snacks and went to my friend's room for movie night. The viewing experience was spectacular since my friend was using a 27 inch desktop monitor equipped with high definition display and 5.1 channel surround system. Plus, we were watching a horror movie at that night, the thrill really got us all goosebumps at that night. We slept earlier than yesterday since all of us have classes tomorrow which are all first thing in the morning.

All the joy and laughter that all of us shared on that weekend was unforgettable. The best part of it was our budget, which was only RM 20. Who knew that RM 20 was enough to give us all an awesome weekend. Therefore, money cannot specifically gave you happiness. In contrast, It was the moment that shared together which was priceless.
