Educational Trip

I felt so excited about this trip, because this was my first trip abroad! Yahooooo!

So our Educational Trip was from May 17th-20th. 4 days, 3 nights. We spent two days at Batam and a day at Singapore. Well, that is pretty obvious since Singapore is an expensive country haha. But I don't really mind because I enjoy everything about the trip!

At the first day, we started briefing in school. Most of us chose to go to the airport by bus. We went to Pekanbaru at 07:30 AM. Our plane took off at 10. We had a 50 minutes flight to Batam. It wasn't long, but we loved every single time in the airport because all of us were fresh and excited.

Arrived in Batam

We arrived in Batam. One thing that keeps bugging me that there will always be long queue at the airport. I guess every airport does the same way! But it doesn't really matter anyway since I enjoy the trip so long queue will not be a really big problem ;)

After that we continued the schedule. We went to Barelang Bridge and Coastarina beach. It was fun!

At the second day, we came across to Batam with a ship. We took lot of pictures at the boat. This was the day when we went to Universal Studio for the whole day! Here some pictures I took:

p.s: WE HAVE TRIED TRANSFORMERS THE RIDE and all I can say that it was so awesome.. Glad to be there in the premiere!

Science Day

Sorry for no update for a long time, haha. So this is my reflection and insight about what happened at our Science Day 2012. 

For Junior High School especially grade 8, we had 2 projects at the same time that were shown in Science Day. We had our Food-related project with Miss Ain and terrarium with Miss May. Our terrarium was a long-term project - we started it since 2011. It took a month for us to prepare our project with Miss Ain. My group got the project to create salty eggs using clay/terracotta or can be with washing powder which is made by dregs of paddy.

Unfortunately, our salty eggs project didn't go very well because we didn't cooperate at the last minute before the D-day. This has become one of my reflection that me and my groupmates should have cooperated more. I admitted that Fellingga was the one who took care all of them the day before the Science Day. Sorry, Fellingga! I hope I will improve my cooperation in other projects so it will go successfully.

That was our terrarium over there, beside the round one (Aminy's group)

Our terrarium project didn't go very well, either. I just got the chance to prepare everything in the last week. Our plants died and we needed to change our aquarium because I think we should buy a new one since our old aquarium broke. Anyway, I had a good cooperation with Gloria even though our terrarium wasn't as nice as everybody else's. My reflection in this project will be: I will not prepare everything in the last minute, because it really stressed me out. Hehe! This is what I think. I will try to get lesson from our projects!

Oh, I forgot to mention that we also had a project with posters related to Science! Our all posters from KG to Junior High were posted in black board at the Function Room. The outcome was super nice! I feel proud with it.

We had Science and Food technology demonstration with Chef Rocky who came from the Philippines. He taught us how to cook a pasta. He looked nervous, though! Haha

So that was all I can share in our Science Day! :D
