Once I heard that I am going to japan, I was very surprise. So, I sleep early. I think that night like this. What those it feel like in Japan? Then, I can’t stop thinking about it. But, I get tired so i decide to go to sleep. At the morning, I wake up at 4 AM. I and my mom eat fastly and take a shower fastly, so we won’t be late. But, actually we got like 6 more hours! Then, when we are at Narita airport. I was very happy. I could even stream, but I don’t. When I go out, It was very cold, but I get use to it. I was very happy the end.

It was my first time to go to Singapore. Do you know what singapore means? Well, here is a story about the founding of singapore. Once upon a time, there lifed a prince. He ruled the country of Palembang and he was very young. One morning, he wants to go hunting to other place. He told his mother, “Can I go hunting in other island?”. His mother replied, “We also have an area for hunting”. Then, he said, “If you don`t let me go, I will kill myself”. Then, his mother said, “Ok, find it and you can go”. Then he said, “thank you mother”. Then he said, “Prepare the ship”.

He sat sail and not for long he saw an island then he ask hes minister, “What island is that?” His minister said, “Oooooooo, I guess what you have seen is the island of Temasek”. He said to his minister, “I want to know more about it”. He said, “Go to that island because I want to know more about that island.

When they are almost there, the thunder storm have already happen. So, he said, “turn left”. Then, the driver of the ship said, “I can`t control the ship any more”. His minister said, “I have been you throw your crown perhaps the heaven wants the crown”. He said, “I command this thunder storm to stop right know”. He threw his crown to the water bravely and not for long the thunder storm was over. When he was there, he said, “their is no village, we may be the first one to put our feet here”.

Then, he saw a lion, but when he was about to fight, he look at its eyes and saw an understanding then the lion ran away then when it was over then the prince said, “we will make a town and i will call it singapore”. The symbol of this town will be a creature with a lion head and a tail of a fish. We will call it “merlion” or “mermaid lion”.

That is the story of the founding of Singapore.

Daun pohon yang berguguran
Membentang seribu daun
Ranting pohon dan daun yang berjatuhan

Membuat suasana lebih indah

Daun dan ranting pohon menutupi jalan
Daun yang berjatuhan membuat pohon menjadi sunyi
Pada suatu hari kau akan tumbuh kembali

Kau mengeringkan diri dibawah panas matahari
Dan berguguran di taman

Hembusan angin yang membawamu
Dan meninggalkan pohonmu
Jauh, jauh kau pergi dari pohonmu

Daun, di manakah kau pergi
Dan sejauh mana kau pergi
Pohon sangat membutuhkanmu
Daun pun berkata ”hai pohon
Pada musim selanjutnya aku akan tumbuh kembali”

When I go to Surabaya, first I think this is going to be boring. People or friends said that Surabaya is not so wonderful. Then, I go to Surabaya. I was surprised when i go to Surabaya Zoo. Firstly, I go to the Surabaya statue, but I took a picture of that very big statue. Then, I go to the Zoo. Boy, It was smelly there. It smells like scunk stink. Then, I get use of it.

I saw a lots of  animals until I cannot tell how many of them. Then I feed the camels first. I feel scared but the camel that i feed liked me so. I give it more peanuts when my Mom take a photo of me and suddenly the camel grab the stick of the peanuts and ate the whole thing. I was surprise because I never see a camel eat like that. That is my story of the Surabaya Zoo. I am gonna write a new story about things in Surabaya and it is interesting.

Hujan……..
Kau bisa menjadi keberuntungan
Atau pun keburukan

Kebaikan tentang mu
kau bisa membuat tananman hidup
manusia makan dan minum
binatang-binatangpun bisa hidup

Tapi terkadang kau menjadi bencana
kau bisa menyebabkan banjir
dan kau juga bisa penyebab laut menjadi pasang

Tapi itu membuat kita tahu keburukan dan kebaikan
dari Hujan ……..

Aku telah menemukan
Buku yang berisi catatan terlupakan
Sesuatu catatan tentang kenangan yang hilang
Merupakan benda yang sangat berharga

Melupakan sesuatu yang berharga
Tidak mungkin bisa untuk di catat
Walaupun hanya sedikit

Melupakan sesuatu yang tidak terlupakan
Tidak mungkin bisa di kembalikan lagi
