Last Night in Singapore

This was our last day at Dunman Highschool. Yesterday, we all woke up early, because we would all leave early. We had all been told to gather in front of the elevator at 6.45. Since it was the last day at Dunman, we all made sure to be on time.

Before leaving, of course, we all had to fill up our energy first, so we all gathered at the RELC’s Scrumptious Cafe for breakfast. All junior and senior high school students had gathered there at 7 o’clock. We were all given about 20 minutes to eat because the bus would arrive at 15 minutes past 7. There were lots of food served by the hotel for our breakfast yesterday. There were sausages, porridge, bihun noodles, salads, and much more. All the food there was very delicious.

Not only food, but the hotel also provided many kinds of drinks. There was tea, coffee, milk, and the most interesting was flavored water. There were two kinds, which were water with blueberry and strawberry flavors. Both drinks were very refreshing with their sweet and sour taste. We could also add sugar to the coffee and tea according to what we wanted.

After breakfast, we went down to the lobby in order to go to the bus. After the bus came, we went out of the hotel because the bus could not go inside the pick-up place. After we arrived at the school, we had to wait in the lobby before the flag raise ended. After the flag raise was done, we could go upstairs to our class. Our first class was History, but before that, we needed to change classes because our class would be another lesson. We were doing some papers so that we could study for the upcoming exam. The teacher was really friendly and funny, his name was Mr. Emmanuel. We gave him some gifts from Indonesia because he was our favorite teacher there. After the history lesson, we went back to our class. The next lesson was English, the teacher was explaining about how to present and how to keep the viewer’s attention, and after that, the teacher explained the materials. The teacher gave us some papers. After that, we also had some lessons, such as Social Studies, Biology, Physics, Chemistry.

After all of those lessons ended, we got on our bus at 2PM and we went straight to our next destination.

After completing our coursework at Dunman High, we boarded the bus to continue to our next location. We unexpectedly visited LTA, which stands for Land Transport Authority. The first and most crucial step after getting there was taking a group photo of the PETRA team. Following our group shot, we started moving toward the LTA gallery. There were a lot of interesting transportation-related facts and historical information in there, including information on how the MRT was created and how stop signs functioned. There were interactive learning activities in LTA as well, like virtual reality railway rail repair and virtual reality driving a bus experience! There was also a survey you could complete and you could get a miniature cardboard bus for free. After all that, we gathered at the meeting point and went into the bus to continue to our next destination.

Before dinner, we all went shopping at Plaza Singapura. Plaza Singapura is a shopping mall on Orchard Road, we split into 3 groups, and each went to different stores.

Group 1 with Ms. Lintang as the mentor, Group 2 with Mr. Nando as the mentor, and Group 3 with Mr. Ngatmin as the mentor. We all went our separate ways and went shopping.

Most of us bought souvenirs for our friends and family back in Surabaya, and some of us also bought some light snacks to eat while shopping.

Today is the most unforgettable day of our stay in singapore.
