This is the first day that TF Scale Program Held. There were many question in my head when I went to Singapore. I thought about different between Singapore and Indonesia. I thought about different culture, different life style, different government regulation, etc. I just pray that I can do anything right. Because I think that it will be very different at all.
We went to Singapore by Plane, so we went to Juanda Airport first by bus from Politeknin Negeri Malang. We went to Juanda at Surabaya because Abdurrahman Saleh Airport don’t have International flight. We went by bus about 2 hours. And of course we never forget to take picture.
When we arrived in Changi airport, and yes it is so different. It is so big and really wonderful. The different that I can know directly is how the people doing queue in something. I think I can’t see it every day in the Indonesia. It was very good and make everything well-organized. Beside of that, of course I really interesting about everything in Changi airport. And I was very happy that I met the TF Scale scholar from Republic Polytechnic. They are so kind and so friendly. They are really different from what I thought of before. Love you all.
The first agenda in Singapore was Orientation to Cangi Airport. So I walked around to finding everything that make me interest there. Changi Airport have 3 terminals. And it connected with a sky bridge with a train for transportation. Then, we found big Singa Statue with a unique decoration. There I was read about the history of Singa. It was so interest ting and make me curious about another history fact around the Singapore.
At night we bussing around Singapore. I was watch every corner of Singapore road. And as like what I thought before that Singapore is very clean. I love it. And in Republic Polytechnic we live in RP campus height. When I saw it at first time, i like it. It was very comfortable. But I was disappointed that were very little facilities for muslim like me and my friend. But after all, it was very wonderful and I love Singapore and Republic Polytechnic.

At this day, it was first morning in Singapore. I start to think what we will do in the first day in Republic Polytechnic. I think about introduction with other friend, with campus facilities, with the purpose that we came to Singapore in TF Scale Program. Republic Polytechnic is a beautiful campus. It is so clean, so green, but also so hot. In the first agenda, we went to canteen. Canteen is so clean, so beautiful. But I thought that just view of halal food were sold in that canteen.
After that, we went to LT-W2 to got introduction for TF Scale Program, and About Republic Polytechnic in general. Next we got orientation About Republic Polytechnic. We went to any building in RP. From Front building to the back one building. It is really good. The facilities that RP have is really good, really beautiful.
In the noon, we went to Class to got introduction from lecturer. We got a brainstorming to make a presentation and sharing with other. We make a presentation about what we think, about anything that the first time we came to Singapore, ant about out motivation and our wish to go to the Singapore. And the last we was want to know about what is Problem Based Learning. I have my own motivation to go to Singapore, I want to study how to study in Singapore. Because since I was child, I just got material from the teacher. And in Republic Polytechnic it’s so different. So I thing that it will be a good place to study with other and sharing our knowledge with all of the people.
The last Agenda was presentation of ideas and proposed Project by TF Scholars. We were talk about the main idea with other. About some project that we can share in TF Scale Program. And we have to buffet dinner.
