After that we back to the lab. We have 1 hour to list our component what we need to build our project with raspberry pi. When we start it actually we confuse, because in class we need more sensor in our project, so we expostulate each other of our member and finally we made some priority what we need, and if our money still enough to buy some sensors we buy it.

In first day, we already can turn on and turn off the led (as a lamp) after that we try to combine with light sensor and success. But we have got problem in day two, we must add gas sensor in our project, it will be simple if we have Grove pi, so we need grove pi and said to our facy. In day three we got grove pi from rp so it make our process easier, after we had grove pi we can using all of our component, that is light sensor, gas sensor, sonar sensor. But we got new problem, internet in RP block some port when we want using email as notification. Finally we using phone connection to resolve it, in last day we built our home, we went to canteen and asked to seller in there can we use their cardboard.

Tiring Trip – Marina Barage – Merlion

on 10 October 2015, we have a schedule to visit the marina barrage. The first time I got there I thought marina barrage is a beach alone or can be called a bay then as usual we took a few photos. After that we were invited to enter the main building of the marina barrage, I just realized that singapore is in desperate need for this place because barrage marina serves as a dam to stem the sea water from entering the river flow too much, because Singapore does not have a lot of water sources. On other hand barrage marina also serves to make any excess water when heavy rains come, and no flood in singapore.

Marina barrage also has a water pump that can pump as much water a second to an Olympic swimming pool. after that we were invited to the roof of the marina barrage there we found a very large grasslands from there we can see the buildings are incredibly beautiful. do not forget we take pictures of themselves or together.

Time for lunch !! after the meal we continue our journey on foot. I think it will be running for a while, it was our goal is Merlion. Before there we passed Garden Bay bay, actuallly in our country as there are also many plants, but the arrangement is not like in the Garden bay bay, very neat and beautifully supported by the modern architecture of the building which makes this park to be like paradise plants.

lunch

After the garden bay the bay we walked again towards the spiral bridge, remarkable how a bridge could spiral almost resembles the shape of DNA. Singapore Flyer !!, finally get to see this stuff, but unfortunately I do not ride. After a short rest we continue our trip to the Merlion, because the situation is too crowded at Merlion we decided to take a break and carry out the afternoon prayers. Moment is one of the moments that I can not forget, I would like to thank Daryl and Juhan because you have been trying to find a place for us to pray, about 15 minutes we were driving around the parking area to find the prayer place. Daryl and Juhan run, asking every worker, I know you guys actually just as tired as we were, and I am very grateful for the help of all of you.

After that we went back to where we rested, we finally headed Merlion. Unbelievably, this is the icon of the country singapore. Did not waste another chance we all take a lot of pictures there, ranging from selfie to take a picture that says to people that we know in Indonesia. It was tiring but I got a new experience on the state of singapore city, its history and friendship that exists between the PNM Student and RP Student.    merlion

May be I must search gap where I can make something that can help her. The elders is very talkactive he directly tell about her son, daughter, and grandson. When she told about her family she said sometimes she difficulty to calling her son who oversea in USA. She need some helps from her private docter. Another Problem which she told is sometime she over thinking when no doing anything, because she over thinking it can she got bloodpreasure, she told to me one night she gotten some boy climb to her floor, then they drunk and smoking it make she so scare.

From those interview or history I must get some answers or resolves that can help eldery. After I went to EverGreen.  I got PBL method in RP, how us get resolves from eldery problem. Finally my team (Team 2) make a project that can observe and can secure eldery’s home.

When I arrive in change my first impression in change is that place very comfort although in outside building occurred haze. Changi is very clean area I can get any trash in there, and I get information that change is the best airport in the world. It’s very fantastic in a small country like in Singapore have the best airport in the world.
