MY STORY IN DEWATA ISLAND


8th – 13th May 2017


In the bright day, I was ready to go to a beautiful city, Bali. At 02.00 pm all students of English Department gathered in Widya Kartika University. The students who would go to Bali are from the second, the fourth and the sixth semester. We were accompanied by our two lecturers, Mr. Tri and Mr. Yohanes.  

We left the campus at 03.30 pm by Bus and arrived in Bali at 08.00 am. The first destination was Tanjung Benoa. Tanjung Benoa is a beach that becomes one of favorite tourism spots either for domestic tourists or international tourists. The beach has white sand and very calm sea and it make the beach is perfect for water sports activities, such as Parasailing, Snorkeling, Seawalker Tanjung Benoa and many others. Some of the activities I did there just played beach water, took pictures, and look for clams. The next destination was Water Blow in Nusa Dua Peninsula Island. Water Blow itself happens when big waves hit the rock cliffs and create a huge water bursts and make the waves very high. Big waves that can pass through the cliffs and often will wet the visitors who come. After satisfied to see the scenery in the Water Blow, we returned to the bus and got ready for the Aroma’s Hotel to rest.  

The second day in Bali, there are three tourism spots that had to be visited. First was Tirta Empul, in the area we saw much clear and large water fountains. This place is used by Balinese people to melukat or bathe in order to cleanse themselves from evil spirits in the body, the way to bathe must follow the rules by starting from the first fountain and forwarded with the next fountain until the last fountain. Behind the fountains is a sacred area of the Tirta Empul temple to the society pray. Second was Bali Classic Center (BCC), which is a place of Balinese people art and culture. We saw a variety of Balinese dances such as Mask dance and Barong dance. Besides, we also saw a display to show daily life of Balinese people such as making offerings, playing gamelan, pounding rice and making palm oil Bali.

Third was Bajra Sandhi, it is a Balinese People Struggle Monument in expelling the invaders. On the second floor of Bajra Sandhi, I saw 33 diaromas that depict Bali Island since the prehistoric, the kingdom, the war and the post-independence time. Explanation of the diaroma using three languages namely Indonesian, English and Balinese language. Around 4 pm, we went back to the hotel.

In the third day, we continued our traveling to some famous spots that is Dewata Store, Taman Nusa and Sukawati Market. Dewata Store is one of the souvenir centers in Bali. The store sells a lot of food, such as milk pie, dodol, beans, and so on. They also provide a special room to produce milk pie that can be viewed from the outside by the buyer. In addition, it also sells various handicrafts and clothes. From Dewata Store, we went to Taman Nusa Bali. It is a cultural tourism park which has 60 traditional houses from various regions in Indonesia. It was very nice to be one of Taman Nusa visitors, because I could add my knowledge about Indonesia’s history and culture and I am proud of being Indonesia society. The last destination was Sukawati Market, that is very famous for selling clothes and Balinese traditional craft with a very cheap price. After finished shopping, we went back to the hotel.

The fourth day was the last day in Bali, I and my roommate had finished packing up all the stuff and ready to take back home. Before leaving the hotel, as usual we had breakfast first to fill our energy. After all the students gathered in the bus, then we started our traveling to Krisna. It is same as Dewata Store which sells typical souvenir Bali. Next to Pandawa Beach, the water at Pandawa Beach is an exotic combination of blue and green.

When I saw the beach, I wanted to play the water but the weather was so hot, so my intention was canceled. Tanah Lot Temple was the last destination of our traveling. The temple is built on the rock with 3-acre size and reachable in a few minutes by walk, because it is just 20 meters from the coastal lip. Furthermore, this temple is very famous among tourist destinations in Bali with spectacular view of sunset. I did not go into the temple, but just enjoyed the beach and the sunset view while taking a little picture. And I did not forget to meet a foreigner from United States to get some information about her. The sun had disappeared, we moved away from the location and back into the bus. Around 7 pm, we departed to Surabaya. We arrived at Widya Kartika University the next morning at 8 am safely.

Akeelah and the Bee

Image
Ini adalah film drama yang sangat memotivasi dan saya termotivasi setelah menontonnya.           Film ini diadopsi dari sebuah perlombaan mengeja yang ada di USA atau biasa disebut dengan “Spelling Bee”. Pemeran utama dalam film Akeelah and the Bee adalah seorang anak perempuan, yang terlahir sebagai anak yatim. Dia bernama Akeelah Anderson, berumur 11 tahun dan bersekolah di Sekolah Menengah Crenshaw, Los Angeles Selatan.        Banyak sekali pelajaran yang bisa kita ambil dari film tersebut, terutama dari Akeelah. Pertama, dia mempunyai keberanian untuk mengikuti perlombaan yang sejatinya dia malu, karena selalu diolok si jelek dan si jenius oleh teman-teman di sekolahnya. Kedua, dia mempunyai tekad yang kuat dalam mengikuti perlombaan tingkat distrik. Sehingga untuk latihan di rumah pelatihnya saja, dia harus berbohong kepada ibunya. Ketiga, dia mempunyai semangat yang tinggi dalam bela...

KERJA (1)

Image
Sudah puas aku mencari pekerjaan, baik itu menjadi waitress, tutor, sales, chef assistant dan pekerjaan paruh waktu lainnya. Tapi semuanya tidak ada yang cocok, karena kebanyakan full-time bukan part-time. Bahkan ketika sudah dapat yang part-time , aku nya malah ditipu oleh orang-orang yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Nyesekkk Sampai pada akhirnya aku curhat kepada Gladys, teman sekelas yang sama-sama sedang mencari pekerjaan. Dia sendiri sudah melamar pekerjaan di salah satu hotel di Surabaya dengan mengirimkan CV lewat e-mail, sayangnya sampai sekarang belum ada balasan. Di sisi yang lain, dia memberiku sebuah tawaran pekerjaan yang lokasinya tidak jauh dari kos ku. Dia sendiri tidak mau mengambil pekerjaan itu karena lokasinya yang jauh dari tempat tinggal. Setelah difikirkan, aku pun menerima tawaran tersebut.
