If you read my latest post Singapore Day 1 , you'll know that 25 Indonesian IT students (20 from Malang, 5 from Riau) including me, are being sent to Singapore for TF-Scale Program March-April 2014. So in this 2nd episode of  TF-Scale Mini Series , I'll tell you more how's like to live and study in Singapore. Technical Meeting in Malang In the first mini series, I already put some departure photos, but they're not really that flattering because the resolution isn't big enough.

And surprisingly, you can learn so much about that thing, more than before you think about it. Last month, is probably the busiest month of my life, which is the month of TF-Scale Programme .

Sebagai gambaran, aku dan 18 teman dari POLINEMA (Politeknik Negeri Malang) akan tinggal di Singapura selama 25 hari dari 17 Maret - 11 April 2014 untuk belajar dan bertukar budaya. Semua biaya makan dan penginapan kami sudah ditanggung. Jika teman-teman pergi dengan tujuan berbeda dan harus mengeluarkan biaya pribadi, siapkan setidaknya 100 dolar/ hari karena itu adalah angka amannya. Tetapi jika sepertiku, teman-teman tidak harus membawa uang saku banyak. Ingin tahu detailnya? Langsung saja. Uang Saku Seperti yang aku katakan sebelumnya, makan dan penginapanku sudah ada yang menanggung. Bahkan, biaya jalan-jalan dan transportasi juga sudah di- cover penyelenggara TF Scale. Jadi, uang saku yang kubawa untuk 25 hari tidak perlu banyak. Aku hanya membawa uang sejumlah 160 dolar (nominal yang agak aneh, jika dirupiahkan kurang lebih 1,5 ju...
