Singapore Day 1: The New Born of One Big TF-Scale Family

It's always great to look back and think about things in the past, especially things that we're almost grateful of. 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. TF-Scale is a student exhange program funded by Temasek Foundation, held on 17 March 2014 to 11 April 2014. In this blog post, I'd like to share with you the beginning of this journey: The Departure.

If you guys knows me in real life, you'll know that I'm the biggest shy person in the whole planet. At first, I'm nowhere close to everybody who also join this program. Look at me in the pictures above! I'm wearing blue veil (or scarf, which is Singaporean called it that way), did you realize that I'm very shy? Just look at my face and you'll know. So, as you can tell from the pictures, we're depart by bus from Politeknik Negeri Malang to Juanda Airport in Surabaya.

I don't remember the exact time we must enter the plane, I think it's around 4pm. But, I do remember that because we eat first, we must rush because it's already the last call (to enter the plane). But, there's always time to take a selfie! XD

Because of food

I don't really have pictures to show you how's the arrival in Singapore was. But I do have from few friends. Gimme time to ask :-)

So, we're arrived around 7 pm and we must wait till 8 pm I think, as long as I can remember, because we're waiting for our friends. Surprisingly, we're not alone in this program, but we have company from Cambodia. The first Cambodian girl that I talk to is Sothary Kim. Currently she's studying in 2 major. I can't remember the other one, I think it's fishery, but I do remember that one of them is English. She said that majority of student in Cambodia take 2 major or as we call it here in Indonesia, double degree.

I think we're arrived in Republic Polytechnic around 9 pm. Then we eat our first dinner which is I can't ever remember what's inside. But, we drink Yeo's for the first time. It feels weird at first because it's either winter melon or crysantemum tea, and we're still not used to. But that's what we're looking for: the first unusual experiences.

After dinner, we got 2 T-shirts with "THINK SOCIAL ACT GLOBAL" on it and our room key, which is hung on our name tag. There's also an ez-link card to take the public transportation with 7 dollars ballance in it. Then, all ready to go to bed. The funny moment is, me as a little girl should drag 19.6 kg luggage from e-canteen to our flat, and it's soo tiring. I almost fall! Luckily, one of the nicest Cambodian girl helping me.

Then, we're entering the flat for the first time. It's as nice as we imagine, because we're already browsing how it looks like. What a tiring wonderful day ^_^ We're ready for the next day, till we don't wanna go to sleep. When we are, it's so late already. I think it's because we're too happy.

So, that's what I'm gonna share today. I hope you also enjoy as much as time in your life.
Good night..

Review Mustika Ratu "Simply Stay"

Seminggu yang lalu,  Mustika Ratu  mengirimkan paket untukku berupa rangkaian makeup terbaru mereka yang bernama  Simply Stay . Konsep produk simply stay ini adalah  basic makeup  yang praktis, tahan lama, dan berkelas tetapi tersedia dalam harga terjangkau. Konsep yang menarik, terutama untuk kalangan mahasiswi sepertiku, untuk wanita karier dengan kesibukan tinggi yang butuh makeup praktis, juga untuk ibu rumah tangga yang ingin dandanan serba simpel. Sebelumnya, aku hanya menggunakan produk Skin Care dan Body Care Mustika Ratu, belum tertarik mencoba lini makeup mereka. Tetapi, melihat statemen resmi Mustika Ratu bahwa rangkaian Simply Stay bisa  tahan hingga 8 jam , aku langsung tertarik ingin mencoba. Akankan produk-produk ini bertahan di wajahku yang kombinasi cenderung berminyak? Simak terus ya.. Rangkaian produk Simply Stay terdiri dari (1) moisturizer atau pelembab, (2) liquid foundation , (3) stick foundation , (4) two way cake , d...

K-Pop Fashion and Talk - nu'est

KPOP Fashion and Talk Episode #1 NU'EST Kpop Fashion , especially the one that they featured on many Music Video, is a definite unique. It wasn't a typical outfit that someone would wear on a daily basis. It's so eye catching and million fan girls were killed to see their bias actually wear it in real life. NU'EST In this first episode of K-Pop Fashion and Talk, we're going to discuss about NU'EST. A korean boy band that captures our heart with their edgy concept about bullying at the beginning of 2012. NU'EST Minhyun Outfit As you may already know, NU'EST visual is Minhyun. In their first music video FACE, he and the rest of members as well, wearing a simple black blazer as their uniform with abstract pattern t-shirt underneath, because as I mentioned before, the MV's concept is again about bullying in school so they need to wear a uniform. Then, he just paired the blazer with black skinny trousers and of course, a pair of white sh...

Sehari di Gunung Bromo bersama TF-SCALE

Gunung Bromo, 17 September 2014 Guncangan seru ini rasanya sudah berlangsung berjam-jam tanpa henti. Berenam: aku, Nabila, Mas'ul, Ido, Wendy, dan Bapak Sopir Hartop, tertawa dan bercanda sepanjang perjalanan dari penanjakan ke kaki gunung bromo. Ketika akhirnya turun dari Hartop, aku tahu perjalanan akan semakin seru karena kami akan bergabung dengan seluruh teman-teman dari Indonesia dan Singapura. Yup, Singapura! Perjalanan kali ini adalah salah satu kegiatan dalam rangkaian TF-SCALE yaitu pertukaran future leader  (pemimpin masa depan) antara Indonesia-Singapura tahun 2014 lalu. Ini adalah kali pertama aku akan naik gunung dan aku merasa terhormat sekaligus malu. Selama ini aku tinggal cukup dekat dengan gunung bromo, tetapi harus menikmatinya untuk pertama kali bebarengan dengan para turis. Tetapi, hal itu tidak sedikit pun mengurangi keasyikan perjalanan. Matahari Terbit di Penanjakan Seperti yang sudah aku ceritakan sebelumnya, sesaat sebelum naik Hartop k...
