Landing to do Social Act

October 7, 2015

At the third day we came to Singapore, we went to evergreen circle, and we went to Bollywood vegies. What we did there? What did we get there?

Evergreen Circle is a community that care about children and elder. It giving care about elder and give them help. Its objectives is to assist vulnerable seniors in obtaining appropriate support services in order to age in place, To provide opportunities for seniors to be active and volunteer in meaningful activities, To promote intergenerational bonding between the young and old.

I was talk to the elder there. At the first time, I was panic and didn’t know how to talk and how to ask something. But fortunately I was accompanied by Mr Kun Ming that can speak mandarin to help me. And what I get from her problem is :
1. She hard to remember something, usually they just write down to her note. But in this age, she also cant write and read well. So she want to use a device that can recorded her voice and play it. She want to bring it.
2. She want to use a device that can tell the evergreen center when she is in or still outside her apartment.
3. Usually she forgot to remove her key from the key hole.

Usually the problem almost same with other friend and TF scale before us. The problem is around about to reminder something and about security of herself.

The second agenda, we went to Bollywood Veggie. I thought, because of it name is “Bollywood” it connected with “Bollywood” from India. But I was wrong. It has no Connectivity. Bollywood Veggie is a farm, with a thousand kind of plant. There are so many plant that I didn’t know in Indonesia, I found in that place.

This is the fourth day we came to the Singapore. Our Schedule is reporting and problem Identification. We presented about what we found in the Evergreen and Bollywood Veggie. We found there are many problem with them. We share about it and got a conclusion there are some identical problem:
1. They are forgetful
2. They think the security in her unit is not so good

With that problem, we want to make a project that can help them in daily life. We make o home observer to observe her home. We focus in the security, to capture who is guest come to her house. We use ultrasonic sensor to detect if there is someone in front the door, and capture it with webcam. The second function in this project is to capture home condition with some of sensor as like gas, light, etc. Then sent it to the official, or family, or personal helper.

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.
