Hi, it’s
me, Ragaluh Dewantara. I want to tell you about my great experience about
playing this unique, eco friendly game. And I want to tell you how to play it.
All the
rules of regular scrabble is applied here, but there are some exception:
1.You cannot place the word letters
crossed to another word. You should place them below and above, or in front and
behind the words.
It's SHOULDN'T be like this
It's SHOULD be like this
2.All of the words that allowed in
the scrabble should be nouns. (i.e. badgers, cups leaves, etc.)
3.The random bottle cap with no
letter works as a wild card. You can use it when you got no letters to put, but
it will have no points.
I was having fun when playing with
my friends, and we enjoyed it. Hope you can understand and make the game by
yourself!
P.S i am too lazy to do the blog makeover, Sorry for your inconvenience

My Interview
Featuring: Mr.
Firman
Hello,
this is Ragaluh! Today I want to share my experience in my interview today. I
was interviewing Mr. Firman, the additional math teacher in 3 Senior High. He
was notorious amongst students because of his great ways of teaching, but with
test that remarkably hard for every students that he made for.
I was
really interested how did he get become so famous in the education of
Indonesia, so managed to ask him some question when I’m started the interview.
If you wanna’ know about what did
I get? Here’s the answer, please read and give me a like!
Mr.
Firman worked as a teacher in 3 Senior High because he wanted to contribute in
the education of Indonesia. His motives to do so is that what does he think
that a great nation will be formed with a great education and education is the
key of success to our nation, Indonesia. He is also made a great achievement in
the school and his career; he is the best known personal amongst math teachers.
He’s chosen to teach teachers in Pasundan University who wants to countinue in
magisterium of mathematic degree. He is also wise despite that he has lower
grade than the other teachers.
He also
joined Association of Math Teachers of Indonesia and currently his position in
there is as a the president of organization. He is also got notorious for media
target about the development of education in Indonesia.
What
does he feel as a teacher is quite a great fun, a pride for him, and even
tiresome. For him, to be a great teacher should be always to watch your manners
and behaviors, then you can be respectful teacher for everyone.
He had a
disappointment for students these days. As they had lack of hard works, too
relaxed, pick the easy ways, and become lazier. He recommends to the students
to be a good, diligent, tough, hard working, creative, and honest.

Hello, its Ragaluh! Today I want to tell you my song
that themed with love, so I picked “Earth Song”, by Michael Jackson.
The meaning of this song is to make people more aware to
what have they done to our earth, so many destruction, extinction, sadness
spreading across the world. The song want to make us to know that the earth is
not a place that we can use and break. It’s our home and a home for our
descendants. If we keep doing this, we might leave our descendants in suffer
and naïve (they might don’t know the amazing things in the nature) because of
what have we done.
Here’s a video! Enjoy the clip and give me a like.
-------------------------------------------------------- Bandung Hotspot
Hello, I’m back! Now I will tell
you two of my favorites (and accessible) Bandung hot spots! And here’s the
description, hope you get interested! (I have a lot of favorite hotspot than
these two).
1.Trans
Studio Mall
At first it was named BSM (Bandung
Studio Mall), but the Trans.Corp made their amusement park called “Trans Studio
Park” close to this mall. Established and announced to public since 18th
of June 2011. And become a favorite amusement park and shopping center to many
peoples in Bandung. It is also had two hotels (Ibis and Trans Hotel) and a huge
mosque near it. Inside of it there are many rides that you should enjoy, like
the fastest roller coaster, Yamaha Racing Coaster, the ride duration only for
just few seconds, but can make you to freaked out during the ride. Or you can
watch movies in XXI cinema or enjoying some great delicacies in various
restaurant there.
If you get more excited, try to
spend your night in the hotels. But only for those whose homes are far from TSM
(not me, cause my home is just several meters (or short kilometers) away).
2.Bandung
Museum of Geology
Let’s get for educating place! For
my favorite, I advise you to go to Bandung Museum of Geology. The museum keeps
minerals, mining tools, and fossils for display. The history of life section
keeps fossils of animals of Indonesia, from land to sea. It is also keep a full
skeleton of Tyrannosaurus Rex (only a
replica of it). The museum also has mineralogy and mining section which shows
various kinds of rocks and mining tools (sadly I don’t interested to rocks and
mining, I am interested to paleobiology). The upper floor shows you its history
and geological stuffs like volcanoes, earthquake, and many more.
Hello!
It’s me! Ragaluh. Today I want to you to know my two favorite animals, the
wolverine! (This wolverine isn’t a superhero). So read my blog and please give
a like!
The Wolverine
This is the REAL wolverine, don't think about the superhero.
The
wolverine is a weasel lived in North America and North Europe. They are the
largest of the weasel family. They
are the largest of the weasel family. The adult wolverine is
about the size of a medium dog, with a length usually ranging from
65–107 cm (26–42 in), a tail of 17–26 cm (6.7–10.2 in), and
a weight of 9–25 kg (20–55 lb), though exceptionally large males can
weigh up to 32 kg (71 lb). The males are as much as 30% larger than
the females and can be twice the females' weight. Shoulder height is reported
from 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 in). It is the largest of terrestrial
mustelids; only the marine-dwelling sea otter and giant otter of the Amazon basin are larger.
Wolverines
are powerful, ferocious, and fearless. They are known to kill deers, sheeps and
mooses! (these animals are too big for their size, and these came from report
that told by peoples who saw the evidence). The wolverine also eat small
animals and plants. They are opportunistic eater, they will hunt the living and
eat the dead creatures they come across. They also known to fight predators
bigger than themselves! Wolves, grizzly bears, polar bears, the wolverine
doesn’t care about them. The wolverine just fight them with no fear when it’s
about to defend.
The original idea of the wolverine is an humanoid wolverine, but they changed it to a man with a spirit and power of a wolverine.
The
wolverine is famous because of their tenacity, the marvel company named one of
their superhero after this animal, because his strength and fearlessness
despite his body was smaller compared to other super powered characters. The
wolverine is also famous in native American mythology, they are seen as
powerful being, warriors, and creator of the world. They are also names that
can referred as “powerful and fearless” for military groups in Russia.
Hello,
it’s me, Ragaluh Dewantara. Today I want to share my experience about 3 Senior
High sport events, Dewa Athena! (Don’t ask me about the name, I know Athena is
a goddess, not a god).
I
won’t tell you the whole events. But I will tell you the most exciting
experience that I have ever had during the events. I registered myself for a
dodgeball competition, cause I thought the game would be very interesting. So I
registered myself and I just saw at that time that the only boy who was registered
was me. I wonder why the boys didn’t interested with this game?
At the time of the competition,
I was realized that Krisna, Airell, and Imam also followed the competition. But
we needed one more person, and Dimas just joined in to save us from quick
elimination. We were playing against x ipa 7. They are more experienced and had
more player than us. When the game started, we had done our best, but we lost.
But it was still worthy to play for us.
Alright, that is all from me,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Natural
Phenomenon: Great Sardine Run
Hi
everyone! It’s me, Ragaluh! Today I want to tell you my favorite natural
phenomenon, the great sardine run. Please read, enjoy, and give a like to my
blog!
Great
sardine run happens in South Africa every May and July. It happens when
billions of sardines (the notable species is Southern African Pilchard (Sardinops sagax)) migrating to spawn in
cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move northward along the east coast of
South Africa. There’s billions of edible fishes there, but no people who catch
them, so the animals of the ocean that catch the fishes instead. The shoal of
sardines attracts millions of dolphins, sharks, birds, whales, and sea lions.
It’s quite dangerous and risky to catch the sardine, you will catch sharks,
dolphins, and birds instead of sardines, or getting hit by whales that tries to
surfacing to eat the sardines, or getting hit by the birds that plunge
themselves into the sea like torpedoes. Local peoples and resort managers use this
event for family recreation. They provide resting places and schedules where
you can see the amazing feeding frenzies in oceans of South Africa. You even
can book them in the Internet!
This
migration of sardines has been compared with the migration of the wildebeests
in Serengeti plains. With the highest biomass in Africa. Lots of animals come
there to hunt these sardines they are:
1. Mammals
- Common Dolphin
- Bottlenose Dolphin
- Bryde’s Whale
- Fur seal
2. Fish
- Bronze whaler
- Dusky shark
- Grey nurse shark
- Blacktip reef shark
- Spinner shark
- Marlin
- Sailfish
- Bluefish
- King Mackerel
- Eastern Little Tuna
3. Birds
- Cape Ganet
- Cape Cormorant
- Tern
- Sea gull
- African penguin

That is all from me about my
favorite natural phenomenon. Thank you for reading!
P.S : I’m have no time to
rearrange the blog.
----------------------------------------------------------- MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
My name is Ragaluh Dewantara. You can call me Raga, Ragaluh or whatever you want (don’t try to call me with a bad name). I was born in Bandung at 15th of March 1999. My father is Ir. Mochamad Irfan. He is 45 years old and he works asengineer. My mother is Irtita Marliana .SPh. She is 41 years old and she works as government worker. I’m the first child of two siblings. I have a sister and her name is Rauliana Sukma. She is 13 years old and she studies in 5 junior high school. My recent house location is on Margahayu Raya Block O2 number 23. I’m 15 years old and I studies in 3 senior high school.
When I was born in Al-Islam hospital. Me and my parents formerly lived in Griya Bandung Indah. I was raised by my parents and my aunts in that place. They taught a lot of thing to me. At that time, my grandparents sometimes made a visit in my house. I also got a lot neighbours in that place. Later, when I was years old, my parents registered me to Alamanda Playground. But, I was dropped out because of my bad behavior at the playground. Then, my parents registered me to Sabili Kindergarten. When I was there, I met so many new friends and teachers. Along with my studies, I also grew older and gaining more experience.
Until 2005, I finally finished my study at Sabili Kindergarten. My parents registered me to Karang Pawulang elementary school. At there I met even more new friends and teachers. I learned a lot of new things, subjects, and experience as I was in elementary school. I tried to change my behavior as the time continued. Then, in the beginning of 2010, I was 6th grade. My parents tried to help me to understood about the National Exam. They registered me to a famous additional lesson group to improve my intelligence. As time continued, I worked very hard so I can get registered to a famous junior high school in Bandung, 5 junior high school. At the time of the National exam. I tried my best to finish the exam. Until the announcement of the national exam score, I got good score enough to pass the requirements to access 5 junior high school. But at that time, the school was regarded as “RSBI”. So I should keep studying for the passing test. At the time of the passing test, I found that the test was quite easy. I finally accepted as 5 junior high school student.
At the first time in the junior high school, I met a lot of new friends and teachers. I also found a lot of new things in this place. At the first time of studying in junior high school, I could handle anything but math. I didn’t really understand the math in junior high school standards. But my parents tried to help to understood until I could handle it. As years passed I could learn about serious hazards in life such bully, emotional pressure, and many more. At the time when I was 9th grade, the “RSBI” mark of my school was removed. Then a lot of changes including the starting of 2013 curriculum. But I can stood the condition. I learned for the second time I faced the national exam. This time, I tried to access 3 senior high school. I then registered to the same additional learning group when I was elementary school. I tried my best until the time of the national exam started the second time for me. After finishing the test, at the announcement of the score, I good a score again in for the second time I passed the national exam. I finally registered to 3 senior high school.

Our Lovely Event, Matswapati
Hello! This is Ragaluh and I will tell you about my experience in a greatest event in Bandung ever, Matswapati!!Have you ever been there? If not, let me tell you how Matswapati event is. So enjoy reading my journal and please like my blog!
Matswapati is cultural festival located in Lapangan Bali, near musical garden (Taman Musik) and 5 Senior High School. It is celebrated by the government of Bandung and 3 Senior High School in order to introduce and preserve Sundanese culture. The event involves some guest star and communities like IBC, Wayang Golek Harja, and many more..here’s a preview of the event by the poster.
Well about my experience, the event happened yesterday, At 27th of September 2014. It was a fun, great, but also most exhausting experience, hehe. I woke up at 04:00 a.m. to prepare myself. I went to the event at 05:30 a.m. by car. After 06:00 a.m., I arrived in front of 3 Senior High School and walked to Lapangan Bali. I met my friends there, preparing everything for the parade (yeah, parade was the first thing to do in this event).after we prepared everything, we were forced by the event organizers to move to the street and made a line with other classes. We had to wait a little bit of time for arranging the parade. After everything was ready, we moved along the street to show anyone about the Matswapati event. We walked along the street and promoting about the event (Although our way to promote was not as good as our neighboring class, X science 3 -_-).At the end time of the parade, we watched a show made by a group of martial artist, they showing some skill like immunity skill. I saw them being hit by whip, smashing and breaking hard things with their heads. It looked hurt but I enjoyed it (do I being such a cruel person?).
Then we back to our stand in Lapangan Bali, our stand provided logic games that would interesting to anyone who felt challenged to solve it. Our stand also representArjuna, one of wayang heroes. Then, I went to the food court to bought some drinks and a hamburger. After I finished eating, I walked around the stands and the field and saw some firefighters spraying some water to clear out the dust, and then I went behind the stands to took a rest under the trees (I got slept there, hehe, sorry). Then I took a walk again and saw many dancers, theatre players, and musician there. Don’t forget to mention wayang player too. I enjoyed their show and I really liked them. I went to other stands and saw they how did they attract visitors.
It was such a long time in the event, sometimes I went to the food court to ate and go to the nearest mosque to pray, as the event lasted, I also took some pictures from the event (I’ll show you later). Then at 04:00 p.m., there some shows from Panorama, their show are very interesting, I liked how did they sang some songs. Then at 06:00 p.m., I waited for the famous singer, Glenn Fredly! Wow, this was a rare moment for me, I rarely met celebrity before. I enjoyed much his show with my friends;some of songs he sang is Malaikat juga tahu, Masih Jomblo, You Are My Everything, and many more. It was one ofmy unforgettable experience.
The show and the event were ended, but there are some martial art group that show some of their immunity skill like test their strength by cutting their neck with knife (they still survived, I swear), fire breathing, hitting their bodies with burning stick, and ate some hot charcoals. I felt a little bit scared with them. Then I went home at 08:00 p.m.
That is all I can tell to you sorry for my mistakes. Before you leave this blog, let’s take a look about the pictures I took.
Hello,
this me Ragaluh! Today I want to introduce an amazing place that everyone has
to visit, Indonesia, my hometown. A beautiful archipelago filled with a lot of
natural resources, culture, and hidden mysteries. Its tropical nature can make
you amazed and fall in love it. The people are friendly and really good at
teamwork. It has a lot of good panorama too.
So, let's see the info about Indonesia
- Geography
Indonesia lies between latitudes 11°S and 6°N, and longitudes 95°E and 141°E. It consists of 17,508 islands, about
6,000 of which are inhabited. These are scattered over both sides of the equator. The largest are Java, Sumatra, Borneo (shared with Brunei and Malaysia), New
Guinea (shared with Papua New Guinea), and Sulawesi. Indonesia shares land
borders with Malaysia on Borneo, Papua New Guinea on the island of New Guinea,
and East Timor on the island of Timor. Indonesia shares maritime borders
across narrow straits with Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Palau to
the north, and with Australia to the south. The capital, Jakarta, is on Java
and is the nation's largest city, followed by Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, and
Semarang.
- Government
Indonesia
is a republic with a presidential system. As a unitary state, power is
concentrated in the central government. Following the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, Indonesian political and
governmental structures have undergone major reforms. Four amendments to the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia have revamped the executive, judicial,
and legislative branches. The president of Indonesia is the head of state and head of government, commander-in-chief of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, and the director of domestic
governance, policy-making, and foreign affairs. The president appoints a
council of ministers, who are not required to be elected members of the
legislature. The 2004 presidential election was the first in which the people
directly elected the president and vice president. The president may serve a
maximum of two consecutive five-year terms.
- Nature
Indonesia
is second only to Australia in terms of total endemic species, with 36% of its
1,531 species of bird and 39% of its 515 species of mammal being endemic.
Indonesia's 80,000 kilometers (50,000 miles) of coastline are surrounded by
tropical seas that contribute to the country's high level of biodiversity.
Indonesia has a range of sea and coastal ecosystems, including beaches, sand dunes, estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs, sea grass beds, coastal mudflats, tidal flats, algal beds, and small island
ecosystems. Indonesia is one of Coral
Triangle
countries with the world's greatest diversity of coral reef
fish
with more than 1,650 species in eastern Indonesia only. The British naturalist,
Alfred
Wallace,
described a dividing line between the distribution of Indonesia's Asian and
Australasian species. Known as the Wallace
Line,
it runs roughly north-south along the edge of the Sunda Shelf, between
Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and along the deep Lombok
Strait,
between Lombok and Bali. West of the line the flora and fauna
are more Asian; moving east from Lombok, they are increasingly Australian. In
his 1869 book, The Malay Archipelago, Wallace described
numerous species unique to the area. The region of islands between his line and
New Guinea is now termed Wallacea.
- Economy
Indonesia has
a mixed economy in which both the private sector and government play significant
roles. The country is the largest economy in Southeast Asia and a member of the
G-20 major economies. Indonesia's estimated gross domestic product (nominal), as of 2012 was US$928.274 billion with
estimated nominal per capita GDP was US$3,797, and per capita GDP PPP was US$4,943 (international dollars). The gross domestic product (GDP) is about $1 trillion and the
debt ratio to the GDP is 26%. According to World Bank affiliated report based on 2011 data,
the Indonesian economy was the world's 10th
largest by nominal GDP (PPP based), with the country contributing 2.3 percent
of global economic output. The industry
sector is the economy's
largest and accounts for 46.4% of GDP (2012), this is followed by services
(38.6%) and agriculture (14.4%). However, since 2012, the service
sector has employed
more people than other sectors, accounting for 48.9% of the total labor force,
this has been followed by agriculture (38.6%) and industry (22.2%).
Agriculture, however, had been the country's largest employer for centuries.
- Culture
The present day
culture of Indonesia is an outcome of the interplay of age-old- traditions from
the time of early migrants and the Western thought brought by Portuguese
traders and Dutch colonists. The basic principles, which guide life include the
concepts of mutual assistance or "gotong royong" and consultations or
"musyawarah" to arrive at a consensus or "mufakat". Derived
from rural life, this system is still very much in use in community life
throughout the country. Though the legal system is based on the Old Dutch penal
code, social life as well as the rites of passage is founded on customary or
"adat" law, which differs from area to area. ''Adat'' law has been
instrumental in maintaining gender equality in Indonesia.
Indonesian art
forms are greatly influenced by religion. The famous dance dramas of Java and
Bali are derived from Hindu mythology and often feature fragments from the
Hindu epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata.
The
crafts of Indonesia vary in both medium and art form. As a whole the people are
artistic by nature and express themselves on canvas, wood, metals, clay and
stone. The batik process of waxing and dyeing originated in Java centuries ago
and classic designs have been modified with modern trends in both pattern and
technology. There are several centres of Batik in Java, the major ones being
Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Pekalongan and Cirebon.
That is all from me about Indonesia. Also thanks to Wikipedia and Google as most of its contents and pictures come from them. thank you!
My Story: The Heron and The Hummingbird, A Native American Folklore
Hi! It is me, Ragaluh Dewantara. Today, I want to tell you a story, the story tells why do the hummingbirds eat nectar and the herons eat fish. It is similar to Aesop’s The Hare and The Tortoise, but made by Native Americans. This is a good story; I hope you are interested to read it. (Also, please like my blog!)
Heron and Hummingbird were very good friends, even though one was tall and gangly and awkward and one was small and sleek and fast. They both loved to eat fish. The Hummingbird preferred small fish like minnows and Heron liked the large ones.
One day, Hummingbird said to his friend: "I am not sure there are enough fish in the world for both of our kind to eat. Why don't we have a race to see which of us should own the fish?"
Heron thought that was a very good idea. They decided that they would race for four days. The finish line was an old dead tree next to a far-away river. Whichever of them sat on top of the tree first on the fourth day of the race would own all the fish in the world.
They started out the next morning. The Hummingbird zipped along, flying around and around the Heron, who was moving steadily forward, flapping his giant wings. Then Hummingbird would be distracted by the pretty flowers along the way. He would flit from one to the other, tasting the nectar. When Hummingbird noticed that Heron was ahead of him, he hurried to catch up with him, zooming ahead as fast as he could, and leaving Heron far behind. Heron just kept flying steadily forward, flapping his giant wings.
Hummingbird was tired from all his flitting. When it got dark, he decided to rest. He found a nice spot to perch and slept all night long. But Heron just kept flying steadily forward all night long, flapping his giant wings.
When Hummingbird woke in the morning, Heron was far ahead. Hummingbird had to fly as fast as he could to catch up. He zoomed past the big, awkward Heron and kept going until Heron had disappeared behind him. Then Hummingbird noticed some pretty flowers nearby. He zip-zipped over to them and tasted their nectar. He was enjoying the pretty scenery and didn't notice Heron flap-flapping passed him with his great wings.
Hummingbird finally remembered that he was racing with Heron, and flew as fast as he could to catch up with the big, awkward bird. Then he zipped along, flying around and around the Heron, who kept moving steadily forward, flapping his giant wings.
For two more days, the Hummingbird and the Heron raced toward the far-distant riverbank with the dead tree that was the finish line. Hummingbird had a marvelous time sipping nectar and flitting among the flowers and resting himself at night. Heron stoically kept up a steady flap-flap-flapping of his giant wings, propelling himself forward through the air all day and all night.
Hummingbird woke from his sleep the morning of the fourth day, refreshed and invigorated. He flew zip-zip toward the riverbank with its dead tree. When it came into view, he saw Heron perched at the top of the tree! Heron had won the race by flying straight and steady through the night while Hummingbird slept.
So from that day forward, the Heron has owned all the fish in the rivers and lakes, and the Hummingbird has sipped from the nectar of the many flowers which he enjoyed so much during the race.
That s all from me, and thanks to these great peoples who like to share their art and story!

Hello, this is me, Ragaluh! Today I want to share you my holiday experience, well some of greatest of mine hehe… so please enjoy and give a like to my blog.
In the first four days of holiday, we went to Malaysia and Singapore; we went there with my mom, sister and Mrs. Elly, my mom’s best friend who also had two sons with her husband. It was really fun and a little bit of annoying experience. The first day we went to Malaysia, the place that I saw in Malaysia was Batu Cave. The cave was medium sized (that was I thought) and it was very high that they made a veeeeery long stairway to get there. So we just took some pictures and get look at some souvenirs. Plus, I want to tell you, when I visited the place, there were hundreds of pigeons that flew and walked around, their droppings and feathers made this place looked messy. Something that I felt disappointed toward this place. After that we went to a watch shop I saw so many watches there (absolutely) and I just realized that I tickled and chased by Mrs. Elly’s sons. Then we made a long journey to go to the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. When we arrived there, we visited the National Monument and took photos there for a short time, and then we visited the Independence square and its museum. We saw how amazing the light and miniature show inside of the museum. We also bought some souvenirs in the gift shop. We visited the National Mosque and pray there. Then we went to shop some other souvenirs in duty free shop. At night when we were close by the hotel, we stopped by an Arabic restaurant. We ordered some food there, but the waiter asked repeatedly that we were sure with our choice. We felt confused cause there was something weir with the waiter. After the food was delivered, we realized that the food was jumbo sized, and we ordered them for each person, we were shocked and didn’t know how to finish the food, so we left a lot of leftovers, what a pity. We made ourselves to the Furama hotel and rest for the next day.
The second day, we went to Twin Towers of Malaysia. The tower was extremely high; it might be the highest tower I’ve ever seen. We went to the interior part of the tower; we entered a lift with a very high speed. After we arrived at the nearly the top (I didn’t remember the floor), we took a look at the whole city in Twin Tower viewing bridge. It was beautiful; I could see roads, buildings, parks, and even graveyard. I was a little bit nervous about height, as I rarely experiencing to visit high places. Then we got to the topmost of the tower and saw the model of the tower and more view that we could get from binoculars in that floor. We went down back after viewing and we went to the Malaysian Aqua world, a kind of Sea Park, I guess. We saw a lot of aquatic creatures inside of that place, but the place was too small and it was crowded. I felt that Sea World Jakarta would be better than this. After visiting we had lunch and waited for our tour guide to pick us. But he didn’t come for a short time. So we got bored for waiting. We decided to get a monorail ride. We went to hardrock café to shop for some clothes and souvenirs. We met our tour guide and drove back to the hotel. Mr. Iim was upset to the tour guide. Well, we took a rest before we checked out from the hotel in the next day.
The third day, we prepared our stuffs to checked out from the hotel. We went to Johor Bahru, the area where LEGOLAND located. We went through a long journey to get there. I slept during the journey. After that we arrived at the LEGOLAND. We had lunch in nearby restaurant and went in through the main entrance. When we entered in, there was many Lego structures, miniatures, and Lego based buildings. We took a lot of pictures and enjoy many rides in there. We also saw some famous merchandise from Lego, most based on cartoons like Star Wars, Legends of Chima, Ninjago, and there’s also based from my favorite video game, Minecraft. After bought some merchandise, we went to a huge mall (ugh! Still not remember the name, how forgetful I am L) and went shopping (but I wasn’t shopping). After waiting the ladies to shopping. Wewent to a new hotel, Bayu Marina Hotel. We arrived there and rest.
The fourth day we prepared and checked out from the hotel, and we went to Singapore. It was quite surprising that it took a short time to get to the Singapore and it was bay car! Our first destination was Marina Bay Sand, we went the top of the building, the place was famous because of its “Sky Park”. We saw amazing view of Singapore city. We also saw our next destinations up there. It was the most thrilling and amazing view of civilization I’ve ever seen. Then we visited the Merlion Park, the place of the Merlion statue. We took pictures there and went to fountain of wealth. We just took pictures there for a short time. And then we went to Bugis road (I not sure that the road was name after the bugis tribe in Indonesia or the bugis people made the community in that place or… arrgh nevermind!) we took a look and the ladies went to shop again. After wait to shop (again). We went to our final destination, Garden by the Bay, greatest Botanical garden I’ve ever seen. It was filled with extraordinary floras from the whole world. The garden was colorful, mainly green but also added with other colors. It’s also had a huge man made waterfall. We also saw that this place tell us to be environmental friendly in our life. We bought some souvenirs in the gift shop. We headed to the Changi Airport, where we will go home to Indonesia, our homeland. You should that we rode Air Asia plane and we went back at the same night when another Air Asia plane QZ8501 was crashed and lost. My mom knew it from my friend. She was worried about everyone’s safety including her own family (that’s me and my sister). But fortunately, we made it to our hometown in Indonesia, West Java, Bandung. That was the greatest experience in this holiday.
The next week of my holiday was spent on home. In the first day of the week, I went to school to give the SKS paper that I’ve filled to my teacher. After that I just hung out with NK club members to play video games together. At that day too my relatives came from Bekasi to stayed for two nights and one day. We were having great time together. We were roasting some chicken satay in New Year eve, we went to Trans Studio Mall and watched Night at the Museum 3. The movie we watched was pretty hilarious. We enjoyed watching it. Then we went home and rest together. The next day, they went home. The days after their leave, I usually watching TV with my sister and play my favorite video games, Minecraft and Rayman Origins. We usually watched cartoons, comedies, anime, and nature show. At the last three days we went to Cianjur to met our grandparents and relatives. And I met Fira and Najwa again (well they reduced their interest to minecraft, but got interested in rayman). And annoyed me again, thankfully they weren’t annoying as I met them last holiday. We were having fun together until the last day of the holiday. By the way here's the picture of my holiday: -Malaysia and Singapore tour:
