The sixth day in Singapore, we had the opportunity to visit the marina barrage, where we are invited to see one of the beauties of Singapore. In museums marina barrage we see how to use water properly, using water for drinking or for flood control.

Marina Barrage

In the museum also remind you back a few decades, one of the gallery shows recounts the clean up of the Singapore and Kallang Rivers in the 1970s. Through the clean-up spanning ten years, witness Singapore’s development from independence towards a practicing environmental awareness.

Back to the past

Then also we can see how the dam works in case of flooding. The complexity of the structure and design of the dam.

The Dam

Museum Marina Barrage we can also see a firm commitment 3P (People, Private and Public) to care for the environment and water. Everyone has a stake in maintaining a sustainable environment. Joined in a commitment to make Singapore a better place to live.

Here we can learn that we must maintain awareness of the environment to stay clean and green so it can be beneficial to ourselves.

October 7th 2015, this is my third day in Singapore. We went to Evergreen Circle (Elderly Community). Evergreen official brief us to try communicate with elderly. RP Student help us to communicate with them because most of them is Chinese to know what are their problem and what can we do to help solve their problem.

After we visited evergreen, we have a lunch. And continue the excurtion to Bollywood Veggie. I thought Bollywood Veggie is something like India Community place. But it’s a totally wrong. Bollywood Veggie is a place that so much type of plant. And we have learnt about some plants and vegetables.

Next day, October 8th 2015 its time for us to identify the problem that we got from evergreen. We discuss about some problem may happen at evergreen. Me and Team 5 got idea to make Automated Lamp and Emergency System for elderly’s room because some elderly told us it will be so nice if they could turn off and turn on the light automatically. And the common emergency call is just in the corner, so if they need help the emergency call is too far. So Team 5 make an emergency system also.

Mr Jason Lim told us to solve the problem using PDT that we have to find what we know, what we don’t know and what to find out. And then, we have to present to each team and other team will ask question and give advice about our idea.

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.

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.

After the second day we went to evergreen for observing and sharing elderly’s problems, now it’s time to make a project that can help the elderly to solve the problem.

My team, team three also known as soulmat3 team build a tools named PrevenThief. PrefenThief is a tools that can help the Elderly acknowledge who is coming, such as Official from evergreen or not. As we know some people can do disguise to steal the elderly’s stuff.

This system can notify the elderly whether a person who coming are official or not. This system use a card with QRCode as an access to visit and notify the elderly with a voice command. This system also have a sonar sensor that can detect a person on front of the door, and then the camera in front of the door can grab a picture of a person who stands in front of the door in 5 seconds with 7m of distance. So we can acknowledge who are the person come to visit the elderly’s home.

On this project, I learn about how to help other people with the problem that they have with the best solution and effort. And also I learn how to work with other people, even from the other country like Singapore’s student especially RP’s student. We can share our experience, our mind, our knowledge, our idea, and so on.
