3 Climber

This is John, a tough and brave 28 years climber from USA that had already climbed lots of mountain in the world. On his latest journey he was going to climb Mount Everest.  The biggest  and tallest mountain in the whole wide world, and the only major mountain that he hasn’t climb, yet. Of course he wouldn’t climb it alone. Luckily there were 2 other climber who kindly participate him. They are Norman and Jake. And so they left America and flew away to start their adventure.

After many hours they finally arrive at the bottom of Mount Everest. Standing in front of them is the great Mount Everest, and then they turn back. The thing is the journey from US to Mount Everest is very exhausting, therefore they decide to have a rest in a local village. On the next day all of their energy are refilled, and now nothing was going to bring them down. So they left the village and begun their track up the mountain but they didn’t tell anyone about it and they know it is dangerous.

Step by step they were defeating Mount Everest. But Mount Everest wasn’t that easy to defeat. The slippery ice of the mountain cause John to fall into the edge but he was saved from plummeting to his dead by a ledge. Unfortunately he break his leg , at least he is still alive.

John was useless and can’t do anything. He can only rest while the other are preparing a camp. It is a very uncomfortable night. The temperature drop like crazy and the injured John become ill.

           Just before they lose hope another group of climber appear in front of their eyes. Without hesitating John screamed as loud as he can “ Help, help, help !” (Screaming in a mountain is not recommended) The other group heard them and begin to rush at the direction of the scream, leading the group to John and his group. They came just in time and gave John first aid kit and helped John to safety and everything goes well. Next time, tell someone if you are going to do something, OK ?

Aqua

As humans, water is a very important resource for us all. Everyday we drink... I don''t know everyone is different, but health authorities suggest that we must consume about 8 ounce of glasses or 2 liter per day.

Now there are many water producer in Indonesia and Aqua is one of them. It is none other than the most popular water producer in Indonesia standing for 42 years. No wonder Indonesian called any mineral water aqua.

Since 1998 aqua is own by the Danone Group who is a multinational food and drink company from France. It is the result from the fusion of the company Aqua Golden Mississippi and Danone, but the Aqua Group was built up by Tirto Utomo, he is a Wonosobo peopl. BeforeBuilding the company he once work at Wonosobo then he moved to Petronas before finally building his company.
Oo yeah Aqua has 18 factories across Indonesia and they also sell their product at Malaysia, Singapore, and even Brunei!

SCHOOL Trip To Singapore

Oo hey. people around the world. Have I introduce myself? of course not or maybe I had. Well that's not the point of this writing. Actually I am here to tell you all about my story last week. What sort of story? Well you won't know until now. Last week was a beautiful week and I was really enjoying my moment at Singapore. Yup, I went to Singapore last week! Wasn't it wonderful, for the most part yes and for the other part, kinda amazing. Not that I went to Singapore just to have fun, I also study because it was not like I went away from school just to have fun. I won't  do that okay! Me and my class was going for a study tour!

The first day was rather exciting than boring. Me and my friends also some teacher went to Science Center and also Jcube. The Science Center was not that bad. It's actually pretty good in form of attraction and knowledge. In that place I finally ones what is virtual reality and finally got a chance to try it and actually virtual reality is not that bad. I mean if you are me  I would think that virtual reality is not that good at this time, I think it would need more development  to reach it true potential but nevertheless it was a pretty exciting experience and I really enjoy it. (you know how expensive is an oculust rift right?) The Jcube part was so so. Just like what you expect from a large mall in Singapore.

Science Center from the outside.

Coolest thing in Science center except the oculust rift.

The Great Normal Brain!

The next day we went to church because I told you that it was a school trip not a kid running away from school. But then we went to Universal Studio Singapore or what me and my friends called the USS ( that's for short). This main attraction was a great time spender and I'm sure you won't need any kind of introduction of it from me. But really the attraction waiting line was really long and I'm sure you know that to. My personal favorite? The Transformers thingy. Seriously I forget the name. Oo almost forget to tell you that I also went to Vivo city. Don't ask what I bought. I didn't buy anything.

It's Universal!

Just a normal church

At Monday the nor so exciting part came to take place. School. What school? It's Anderson secondary school. As you all know I am from Indonesia not from Singapore so it was not that bad. We were treated as a guest not like someone else. So yeah, it's quite good being there and also the students there are very nice and exciting. Well school are over and we were very excited because we were SUPPOSED to visit Orchard. But in sudden there was a schedule change and everything kinda mess up. So from the modern and super expensive Orchard we move to Chinatown that is like everywhere in the world. Yes things are day cheaper there but I doubt they're quality. What was so good about Chinatown. Well the answer is the food. They're relatively cheaper and delicious. 

Don't ask why did i took this picture.

The next day we went to the famous Marina Bay or Garden by The Bay or whatever you want to call it. But if course we must go to school first. No explanation about the school part, or is a usual as ever.  The Garden by The Bay have some technical issue. Why? My camera went out of memory while I was recording the grand final moment at night. Stick a disaster indeed. So yeah,I'm not really a fan of something like that so while the other guy while say that it was very good I shots day that it was not good but not bad either. Technically it was light show at night. So now that you know that that's not the best moment them what it is. You can call me strange or what, but for me the best part was when new and my friends were playing on the top of the building. I forgot the name but it is not the bridge that connect the large flowery structure. That time I saw a couple of people taking pre-wedding picture. I even got a picture of them. Sshh! Don't tell them.

The field on top of the building.

Giant flower structure

The next day we... Go to school. That's it. I mean there's literally almost nothing at Bugis Junction for the most part (there was a lot of things there but I bought none). I actually bought a present for my friend in Anderson. And yeah that's it. I'm honest. Our at least that's what I remember.

Bugis Junction 

Thursday was the second final day in Singapore. And at last we went to Orchard. The best and most expensive place for shopping. About the place? Seriously. You don't need any introduction to it.  Oo yeah have I told you that I spent literally almost no money to buy a thing for me myself  (except food and drinks and also the present for my friend in Anderson  and also a gift for my family) well I finally spent most of my money here. What did I buy. Privacy&policy. Sorry but I won't tell you. And also the ice cream bread (I don't know the name) was very very delicious. Seriously I wanted more that time and actually I want more right now.

The last day in Singapore had finally come and have I told you about my dorm that I slept in. The plane took off at about 11 o'clock in the morning and we arrived at the airport at about 9 and finished checking in at about 10.20 so yeah there was not that much time to shop. But at the end I manage to buy some thing for my family like some chocolate and food. Cause... Why not? So the plane landed at... I forget about it. So long story short we land at the airport and finally came back to our beloved home. Some came home in a good condition 

It was not that messy! Trust me I already tidy it!

KPI (Kebaktian Penyegaran Iman)

Ok so about a week ago me and my whole school (except the 9 grade) went to... I don't know, I actualy forget about it. But hey! I Didn't say I forgot it all! So long story short, we went to a church that is named by local as GKI Anugrah or Anugerah. Don't complaint I told you that I forgot some details right!
So what am I doing here. Well actualy it's just like what we all do in a church hearing someone do a sermon and bla bla bla. But it was just extra long because there are lots of things to cover and honestly I don't really like it.
As I alredy told you... I forgot some details. But I remember thia moment the most, the moment went we must kneel and the person in front gave us all great sad story. It's so dramatic that it made me wonder "Wow, how does this person go through so many interesting things just before she make a sermon?" Anyone else wonder that? Oo yeah and also that touching moment went we must said sorry to all person we talked behind their back, it's emberassing but yet it felt good at the same time

Sorry because of no photo!

Fictional. Nothing Is True.

Best Gifts Ever!

A quite nice morning indeed. As usual I woke up in the morning and did all my basic stuff, in rush. That day was a very busy day, there were 2 test and 3 assignment. No wonder I got very frustated that day.

As you all know I was in a hurry that day, I never want to be late. Somehow my brain always tell me “Be the first Will!” Yup, like that. But in reality it’s not often for me to fail. By the way have I introduce myself? My name is William, a 12 years old 7^th grader student. Back to the story! So I arrived about 6 in the morning and manage to study again for my test. Because you know, no one wanted to get bad mark.

About 8 hours had finally past and at last I could said “So long school !” And again forgot to tell you this is Friday and I have no school in Saturday! My heart is pumping out of excitment! Getting away from our class, out of the school! Play all kind of game and doing other stuff at Saturday! Well that was what i'm thinking about until the speaker on top of our class scream out loud. Bringing dissapoinment in my life. Long story short the speaker told us to bring something to donate to people that have disabilities and we must bring it tomorrow. Well that’s really a last moment announcement.

I manage to sleep at night after going through selection of my unused clothes and woke up earlier than usual to pack all the stuff and went I left my home I was thinking to myself “ well at least I could see my friends. “

At school everyone was in the school center point. I was not late and I was not the last. But I really don’t know why some of them are excited about this activity, not like me. With a bus we went along the street for a couple of hour, driving through the traffic jam into our final destination. One by one we got out from the bus with our stuff that we were donating. Then all the student started scattering around the place giving their things to the people . People that is not as lucky as us, and they need it more than we do. And the feeling that come through us went we see them smile when we help them. That day they receive a lot of help and that day I receive the best gift ever.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year, a tradition that have been celebrate by many for a long time. Today is nothing different. Like what you expect when an ordinary person celebrate a Chinese New Year nothing goes much different from last year which doesn't goes much more different from the last 2 years. Chinese New Year is not all about the 'ang pao' (Red Envelope), It's about the joy and happiness when a full family come together, all happy celebrating what so long ago used to be a farmer celebration to the new coming spring.

But for me, the most exiting part is... yeah when we receive ang pao which is equal to receiving money. For me it's kinda embarrassing when you have to say the magic word (gong xi fa cai or Kiong Hi) to get what your looking for. But at least we don't have to beg our parents anymore for a week or two! Or maybe a month if you are really efficient at spending it.

one of my ang pao still in good condition!
(Of  course with money inside)

Today is a good day the amount of money I got is pretty good. The exact quantity is... still classified.

Maybe I will tell you next time or maybe never. But I can tell you that this year amount of money is worse than last year, which is worse than 2 years ago.

So all this typing is making me tired. I want to sleep and end my day. But it all lead into one thing. My reason to write this blog. My message to the world. Saying Happy Chinese New Year! Or maybe Lunar New Year and have a great and lucky year in the Year of  Monkey!
