The Story of #32015's Journey to Bali

Hello again! :) I am back here to share you the story of my journey to Bali with my schoolmates back in April. It was one of the most memorable experience in my life, and what better way to share your wonderful experience than to share it with your friends? :)

We went there by varieties of vehicles. We crossed every landscape, land, water, even air! First thing first, we rode the train from Bandung. We were told to gather at the station at about 4 PM. By the time I arrived, I could feel the excitement filled the air. The station was packed with people, whether they are the students from my school, their parents, or strangers. It was a few hours before we were told to get aboard the train at 8 PM. The train was very nice, and since it was my first experience riding a train in a long journey, I was pretty excited. By the time the train moved, people were chatting and making noises, our class got pretty hyperactive as the time went by. For some reason I didn't feel quite good after dinner so I decided to doze off for a while, only to fail because of my uncomfortable sitting position. Thankfully when morning came, I felt a bit rested. We arrived at Surabaya the morning after then continued our journey by bus. It was a little while until we arrived at a restaurant and had a lunch there. But after that we continued our journey to the pier. The journey by bus has got to be the most tiring one in my opinion. For some reason, I kept falling asleep rather than walking around and talking to people. But probably because of those unneeded sleep I tend to get tired easily. The sun had set by the time we arrived at the last stop before we go to the pier. After dinner, we continued our journey to the pier and got aboard. It was pretty hectic inside the ship, considering there were about 300 and more people on it. We finally arrived at Bali around 9 PM local time. With tired faces, we continued our not-ending-yet journey to our hotel in Denpasar. It took about 4 hours to get there. When we finally arrived, we dragged our suitcases into our respective rooms and  crashed into the beds, knowing we had to wake up early the next day.

The first day, we spent our morning in Tanjung Benoa, where we played varieties of water sports. For some reason I didn't feel like getting myself wet so I didn't choose many sports. In the end I only chose two, with one of them, parasailing, got exchanged with banana boat, because there were already too many people queuing and minimum time left. But it was okay since I finally got  to feel the sands on my toes and feel the sun light bathing my face once again. I missed the feeling of being on a beach <3

We changed our clothes and went to GWK, the famous unfinished sculpture. Until now, the sculpture had not yet been finished, only the fingers had finally been  made. The sculpture was designed to be so huge that if it did got displayed, it will be taller than the liberty statue! :o There, we were assigned to participate in a game. After the game was finished we took a photo of the whole #32015 who came :) It was amazing when you finally realized how many people you go to school with everyday. A few hours later we watched a performance of Bali's traditional dance/performance, which is the Kecak Dance.

The day passed and night came. We had dinner at the local seafood restaurant. We were actually in the middle of two groups of people who are also having an event, so it was pretty loud back then hahaha. We had dinner, played a few games, then it was closed with a performance by one of our friend, singing along to a song that got all of us to our feet and jammed to the song! It was super fun, one of the most fun nights I've ever had. But then it had to end, and we were taken back to the hotel to rest, where there will be new activities waiting for us the next day.

We woke up the next morning feeling pretty tired. But we had to get ready early like we did the day before. Our schedule for that day was first to visit a local village for tourist visits which was Desa Adat Panglipuran. We didn't do much there. We only took some photos, visit some of the houses there and did a little bit of shopping hehehe. But then we got to bus once again and continued our journey of the day to Kintamani, where we had such a delicious lunch and pray break. It was near the mountains so no wonder it was colder than other places in Bali. After filling our stomachs, we went to Sukowati, a market place to buy merchandise and other stuff with affordable prices. But to get it you have to bargain with the sellers to get an agreement price. It was so crowded and I decided to only buy a few sleeping garments for my mom and my sister. I'm not the type of person to bargain so I didn't try hard ^^v We went to the hotel a little earlier because at night we were going to have an event called MAKRAB! It is a night where all of the people from 3'2015 gather and bond, to create a better friendship between all of us :) It was filled with performance and awards. I got to perform with my extracurricular, Tiloe's Theatre. I just hoped we entertained all of the audience hehehe. Our class won some awards, and even the official song of 3'2015 was sung by ZHAGAM, a band whom the members are all from our class! I'm so proud of Pirates :') It was closed with 3'2015's video. I couldn't help but to get touched, we have already gone through so much for almost 2 years together. I don't know what's going to happen later when we graduate...

The event ended at around midnight. We were all dead tired when we went back to our respective rooms. We hit the bed because we had to wake up early the next day and prepare for packing, because it was our last day in Bali.

We had breakfast after we got up, as always. But this time it was less crowded. I guess some people decided just to pass breakfast so they could get some more sleep, hehehe. We got ready to pack all of our stuff, took a last glance at our room, and checked out. It was going to be the tour of the beaches, souvenir shopping, then to the airport, where we flew back to our hometown, Bandung.

Sadly, because our class were booked for the earliest flight, we didn't have much time to enjoy the beach. The plan was for all of the class to visit Pandawa Beach, then the classes which are booked for the earliest flight, got to go to Kuta Beach earliest too, so we could catch the flight in time. But when we got to Pandawa Beach, we played there for too long, so we couldn't go to Kuta, yet we went straight to Khrisna to buy souvenirs. I couldn't blame it, the Pandawa Beach was very beautiful. The sand, the water, everything :') But I wished we could've stayed there longer. At Khrisna we just bought everything we need to buy, because we couldn't visit anywhere else. I'm pretty sure all of the stock for Pie Susu was drained out that day hahaha :))

We headed for Ngurah Rai Airport, where it was our last stop in Bali. The airport was very different than the last time I visited Bali. It looks very neat, the design was gorgeous, it looked like airport from other countries. We checked in and we got into the plane, as fast as that. I fell asleep and the next thing I knew was that we had arrived in Hussein Sastranegara Airport. Back to the rainy yet humid atmosphere Bandung. I was glad to be back home. Because like what people said, there's no other place like home. But I wish to come back to Bali and to repeat every memory I had with 3'2015 <3

Most Inspiring Story: The Story of Louis Braille

THE STORY OF LOUISE BRAILLE

There was a time, not long ago, when most people thought that blind people could never learn to read. People thought that the only way to read was to look at words with your eyes.
A young French boy named Louis Braille thought otherwise. Blind from the age of three, young Louis desperately wanted to read. He realized the vast world of thought and ideas that was locked out to him because of his disability. And he was determined to find the key to this door for himself, and for all other blind persons.
This story begins in the early part of the nineteenth century. Louis Braille was born in 1809, in a small village near Paris. His father made harnesses and other leather goods to sell to the other villagers. Louis' father often used sharp tools to cut and punch holes in the leather.
One of the tools he used to makes holes was a sharp awl. An awl is a tool that looks like a short pointed stick, with a round, wooden handle. While playing with one of his father's awls, Louis' hand slipped and he accidentally poked one of his eyes. At first the injury didn't seem serious, but then the wound became infected. A few days later young Louis lost sight in both his eyes. The first few days after becoming blind were very hard.
But as the days went by Louis learned to adapt and learned to lead an otherwise normal life. He went to school with all his friends and did well at his studies. He was both intelligent and creative. He wasn't going to let his disability slow him down one bit.
As he grew older, he realized that the small school he attended did not have the money and resources he needed. He heard of a school in Paris that was especially for blind students. Louis didn't have to think twice about going. He packed his bags and went off to find himself a solid education.
When he arrived at the special school for the blind, he asked his teacher if the school had books for blind persons to read. Louis found that the school did have books for the blind to read.
These books had large letters that were raised up off the page. Since the letters were so big, the books themselves were large and bulky. More importantly, the books were expensive to buy. The school had exactly fourteen of them.
Louis set about reading all fourteen books in the school library. He could feel each letter, but it took him a long time to read a sentence. It took a few seconds to reach each word and by the time he reached the end of a sentence, he almost forgot what the beginning of the sentence was about. Louis knew there must be a better way.
There must be a way for a blind person to quickly feel the words on a page. There must be a way for a blind person to read as quickly and as easily as a sighted person.
That day he set himself the goal of thinking up a system for blind people to read. He would try to think of some alphabet code to make his 'finger reading' as quick and easy as sighted reading.
Now Louis was a tremendously creative person. He learned to play the cello and organ at a young age. He was so talented an organist that he played at churches all over Paris.
Music was really his first love. It also happened to be a steady source of income. Louis had great confidence in his own creative abilities.
He knew that he was as intelligent and creative as any other person his own age. And his musical talent showed how much he could accomplish when given a chance.
One day chance walked in the door. Somebody at the school heard about an alphabet code that was being used by the French army. This code was used to deliver messages at night from officers to soldiers. The messages could not be written on paper because the soldier would have to strike a match to read it.
The light from the match would give the enemy a target at which to shoot. The alphabet code was made up of small dots and dashes. These symbols were raised up off the paper so that soldiers could read them by running their fingers over them. Once the soldiers understood the code, everything worked fine.
Louis got hold of some of this code and tried it out. It was much better than reading the gigantic books with gigantic raised letters.
But the army code was still slow and cumbersome. The dashes took up a lot of space on a page. Each page could only hold one or two sentences. Louis knew that he could improve this alphabet in some way.
On his next vacation home, he would spend all his time working on finding a way to make this improvement. When he arrived home for school vacation, he was greeted warmly by his parents.
His mother and father always encouraged him on his music and other school projects. Louis sat down to think about how he could improve the system of dots and dashes. He liked the idea of the raised dots, but could do without the raised dashes.
As he sat there in his father's leather shop, he picked up one of his father's blunt awls. The idea came to him in a flash. The very tool which had caused him to go blind could be used to make a raised dot alphabet that would enable him to read.
The next few days he spent working on an alphabet made up entirely of six dots. The position of the different dots would represent the different letters of the alphabet.
Louis used the blunt awl to punch out a sentence. He read it quickly from left to right. Everything made sense. It worked...

This was a very inspiring story for me. The way he didn't let his disability get in the way of him trying to do something useful, and at the end created something revolutionary, making a change for people with seeing disability. Other than that, the message I get is for you to not stop believing in God, because even though a tragedy hits you, it may create another path in your life, that will be better for you in some way :)
