It’s time to have a quality time with Raspberry Pi for a week. Yeaahh, I’m so excited to build a project that can be useful for the elderly. To build our project, on the first day we must think and have a list of all stuff we need then shop all the things that we need at Sim Lim Tower. Then we do our project and make it real for the next 3 days and we had a presentation on Friday. On that week I learn how to work in a team, we must know each character of our team member, also help and respect each other, we must be a good listener if someone’s talking, actually communication is the most important thing if we work as a team because without an effective communication there will be miss understanding and maybe it’ll give a bad impact to the jobs. This week’s not about how sophisticated our project, is about how we can finish our goal that we plan with our way and how we enjoy this jobs and every single day together.
As an Indonesian, I used to adapt how to live at Singapore for this 3 weeks. And from 2 weeks I learn how to live there from Singaporean, yaah I’ve already observe how’s Singaporean live ,and that’s the result:
- Diversity country
Characterised by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices due its diverse ethnic mix of peoples originating from various countries (Malay, India, Chinese)
- Use Singlish
Based of English that spoken in Singapore that use a particular dialect with its unique intonations and grammar, while English is one of Singapore’s official languages.
- Walk fast
By the time I live at Singapore and I must walk to go to other place not to ride motorcycle / bicycle / car like in Indonesia, nowadays I learn to be a Singaporean that can walking fast, so I can save my money to buy something not to fill the gasoline for my motorcycle like in Indonesia. I think better go around by a walk then use any transportation because it can decrease the polute and more environmentally friendly.
- Keep left
In Singapore, the right side just for fast walker. So if you want to stop on the escalator just keep on the left side and let people behind pass your right side. I think that’s like Jalan Tol in Indonesia for car and in there was happen to the people not car anymore.
- Tidy, discipline(ontime), clean
This part is the most part I want to adapt for my own country, Indonesia. Why I want that? Because actually Indonesia is not tidy and clean enough like Singapore because the government hasn’t be able to firmly curb something wrong in Indonesia. I give you small example like when we’re littering at Indonesia there;s no punishment for it but for Singapore there’s a fine when you littering actually $500. I think that’s good for make the residents more discipline, maybe we can implement Fine too in Indonesia to make Indonesia a tidy, clean and discipline country.
