Today was our first day of our study tour to Singapore. We departed from Husein International Airport early at about 10 a.m. and arrived there at 12.50 p.m. We spent some time at the Changi International Airport until we finally left on a bus. The girls and boys were traveling on separate buses as the boys were to stay at the Anglo Chinese School Independent dorm while the girls were to stay at the Anderson School dorm. When we arrived, we dumped our suitcases in our rooms and only brought our hand carried bags. We took the MRT heading to the City Harvest Church. It was not like any other church I've been in; it was lively, modern, cold and HUMONGOUS. Not only that they had a superb church, but also a professional preacher. After our afternoon service, we split into groups to venture around Suntec City. We had lunch at the food court below and luckily found ourselves lots of cheap drinks as they were rare to be found in Singapore. We gathered at the meeting point and headed bact to our dorm to clean ourselves up and sleep.
~ Day 2 ~
We left early morning to Vivo City to cross the bridge connecting to the Sentosa Island. The teachers have already distributed all the prepared Universal Studios Singapore tickets for us to enter. At first, I couldn't decide whether or not I should buy a fast pass and came up with a negative decision. Again, we were split into groups and separated. My group and I first went to the Madagascar boat ride. Then we went to Transformer: The Ride 3D that my friend suggested. I doubt it would be good but, after riding it, it was probably the best, most realistic 3D ride that I have ever ridden. We had lunch at the Jurassic Park restaurant and went to Water World, a stunt and action show. There were gunshot, missiles and even bazooka effects. We had a relaxed evening at Sentosa Island and went home.
~ Day 3 ~
School at ACSI was cancelled today as they were going to have an emergency evacuation practice. We went shopping at a mall near the Anderson school and pick the girls up for our next journey. We set off to the Marina Barrage for sightseeing. It was located near the end of Singapore and had a beautiful view as we could see the whole of Singapore from there. Then, we headed to Marina Bay Sands through Garden by the Bay and had dinner there. Everything there was really expensive, even the food court. We gathered again at the top of Marina Bay Sands to watch short fountain show that is held every night. The girls and boys separated once again to go back to each of our dorm.
~ Day 4 ~
Today was our first study day in the study tour, meaning that we went to school. We were divided into groups once again to decide who goes to which class. I was stationed with Kenneth and Nathan (my elementary school friends) in the same class. 3 boys from the school were assigned to be each of our buddies and "tour guides". My buddy was kind and friendly and so are the others. We learned like usual except that we did not to join the Laboratory, Physical Education and Chinese class. We left school early for Orchard. We were given 4 hours to go around Orchard Road but not anywhere beyond. We went to Takashimaya, Paragon, Lucky Plaza and ION Orchard. The students enjoyed the chilly evening walking around.
~ Day 5 ~
The second day of school was rather boring as we had Lab, Physical Education and Chinese class in the same day. We spent the whole day in the library reading books and playing our gadgets. We visited Bugis Junction to spend the rest of our day there. The mall was as complicated as a maze. We got lost several of times, especially when we had to gather back at the meeting point. There were no maps or anything so, we had to walk a complete circle outside the mall when the point was just in front of where we originally were. It was a tiring day and we went back with sweaty and drowsy faces.
~ Day 6 ~
It was our last day of school in ACSI and we greeted them our final goodbye. We gave them souvenirs from Indonesia as a memory of the times we've spent together there. We left school to Jurong East to visit the Science Centre. There were barely any exhibits as they were all under renovation. We met with our former classmate, Tan Wei Bin Bryant, who is now living in Singapore. We also bought lots of souvenirs and brought them to JCube Mall. We had dinner at the food court and gathered back so we could get back to the dorm earlier since we would have to wake up at dawn tomorrow.
~ Day 7 ~
It was 3 a.m. Singaporean time and 2 a.m. Indonesian time, all our stuffs are packed and we were all ready to go. We hopped on the bus that took us from the airport to school, but now vice versa. The airport was fairly empty. Not all of us went on board the plane as they were going to spend some more time in Singapore with their family. We rode the plane and landed safely back at Bandung. It was a pleasant experience in Singapore while it lasted. This would be the end of the DCP Singapore Study Tour 2K17.
