Smells Like a Fine Day

#4 Journal, 5th April 2023

The sun has risen, a brand new day has started. The rain welcomed our gloomy morning. Yesterday, we had a very tiring at Jewel because we explored the entire mall. Hence, we were allowed to wake up later. We had our breakfast at 7 am and went to Dunman HS at around 7.30. The bus arrived earlier so we weren’t late like yesterday. As usual, our buddies waited for as at the front hall of the school. Then, we walked to each our classes together with our buddy.

Today, we learnt a lot of things at school. Starting with General Paper Lecture. We discussed about the difference between value and values. Values talked about referring to guide principles. While, values refers to what matters, while importance refers to how much they matter. Next we had a seminar. The teacher told us to play a story game about immigration and we share our relatives that have migrated to other country. We also had project work, they were doing a project about how dog owner have to behave. Last subject of today, I followed the geography lecture. They talked about how to make the right research.

Next up on our list is the Perfume Workshop, we arrived at the lab and we walked around while the instructor told us things about perfumery, such as different kinds of scents, the three categories of scents used in perfume making (base, middle, top), and how to make the perfume step by step. We had around 1 hour to mix and create own scent, which will be used to make the perfume. After we have done all of these steps, all of us got some bottles to put in our mixture, and then we packed the perfume to bring back home. Then, the instructor quizzed on perfumery and things alike. After that, we all went back to the bus, ready to move on to the next location.

We went straight to dinner at “Song Fa Bak Kut Teh”, it was so delicious. After that we were given an hour to explore the big “Vivo City Singapore”, honestly it was not enough to explore Vivo City in one hour time. We went to several places, Sharron wants to buy some things for their family and Rara needs to buy chocolates for their friends, and Andrea, Nixon, and Sean were only following them. We were exploring indoor and outdoor sections of the mall, we almost get lost, but thank God we can find our way out

After a long day, we went back from vivo to the hotel. Miss hariati briefed us about the schedule tomorrow and then each group was given their key room to go back to their room and take a shower. We agreed to work on the report together at 21:00 in Sharron and Rara’s room.

The highlight of the day was when we almost got lost in Vivo City. We were looking for chocolate shop that’s far away from our meeting point. The mall was so big that we traveled from parts to parts, levels to levels, to found the candy shops.

The day wasn’t as tiring as yesterday, but we still had a lot of fun. We kept learning a lot of new things and getting new experiences everyday. We can’t wait for what awaits us tomorrow.

Group 3, signing out!
