Yeah I am back hahha
After 5 days in Indonesia now I am back for 2 weeks in my sweet home country.
Lots memories and stories to tell hahha
First among all-big thanks to Daddy for the protection during our 5 days trip in Surabaya and Malang. Daddy really the One who provides and helps during the panic situation at the beginning of our journey while in LCCT..almost miss the flight because of some unexpected problem. First miracle during of our trip hahah.
We landed safely at Juanda International Airport Surabaya and yeah we finally met our friends from UNESA. My first impression of UNESA campus was-wow its really feel like home. So much different with UKM. It doesn't really look like a campus but for me its like more on a campus village style-everything-the road, the local people who stay inside the campus and they plant vegetables- I love it haha. and just no monkeys in there unlike my campus haha. Whe we arrived at the hostel- I have to tell you that their hospitality was superb just like 5 stars hotel. From the food and everthing especially I had the chance to try cappuccino with granule chocolate and its made in Indonesia. The taste was like heaven!
During our first day in UNESA, they brought us to jalan-jalan around Surabaya city and visited The Heroes Monument in Surabaya. Sweating a lot since Surabaya weather is just like Kuala Lumpur hahah. Tiring day after the whole day journey and came back to hostel. but since dring that time was EURO season..me and another 3 friends from Malysia woke up at 1.45am to watch the final match between Italy and Spain. I wore my Italia jersey but then so sad when Italy lost 0-4 with Spain. my firt time watching football with my coursemate actually hahha. Day 2 in UNESA, we visited the faculty of education and met the rest of the special eductaion program students. We had our informal discussion about the special education program both in UKM nad also UNESA. A lot of input we get during the discussion especially the practice they already had in UNESA but we do not have yet in UKM. We do not spent much time in UNESA since we have to go to UM. But even though it was limited time together with the UNESA students but the knowledge we get was very helpful.
On the way to UM, we stop by Lapindo Mud in Surabaya. Quite scary but it was sad while listening to the stories of the local peole who stay there long time ago. I bought CD of the Lapindo Mud tragedy but haven't watch it haha.
After long journey we finally reach Malang city. Compare to Surabaya, the weather in Malang was cooler. We stay in hotel-not bad bah the place. We spent 4 days in Malang and as usual again their hospitality alaso not bad. Since I am a big eater.. I love when they always give us food but not really with the bun hahha. I love trying new food and of course some I like some not hahha. Actually its a school holiday season so we don't have chance to go school and see how their special education in classroom. But thank God we had the chance to visit one of the vocational school for special needs students and of course again the practice of specal education in that school super good. The special needs students so talented and so much creativity compared to my self actually. I was thinking when are we in Malaysia gonna have like them-that's why we visited that place-to learn something new and information for our special education program in Malaysia.
We suppose to teach sumazau dance to the special needs students in that school but since we do not have much time the school management canceled it. Big relieve for me by the way since I just don't know how to teach sumazau dance in front of the VIPs including my lecturers also there for the sumazau dance session. After that the school management brought us around that school and visited different classroom whereby some students stayed during holiday just for our visit.
Day 3 in Malang, we went to Mount Bromo which I consider it very far from our hotel. Just recently I am excited about hiking and since our planning to climb Mount Kinabalu cancelled at least I have the chance to climb Mount Bromo haha. Its very very cool and to get to the first peak we have to use Jeep. Since its still dark plus very cold we slept during the journey hahah. When we arrived I was shock because lots motorcycles! They offered to send us to the peak but we don't take it since the road was quite dangerous. and that was my first experience hiking with traffic jam on the way to the peak haha. Very beautiful place and stunning view from the peak. After that we get back to the jeep and went to the second mount which the real Mount Bromo haha. Very sandy and lots horses. Again offer us use horses to up the mount. I don't like horse and the smell was describable haha. Difficult and very challenging but thank God we manage to reach the peak of the mountain. Mount Bromo is actually an active volcano..Thanks again for the protection Daddy. Because of the horse we smell like horse's shit as well hahhahaha.
After 5 days there, we finally going back to Malaysia and of curse our program report waiting for us hahahah. But before that another miracle happened in airport. When we want to get in the plane my immigration card was not with me. I thought the immigration officer took it but when I checked my other course mates still have it. I was so worry but then Daddy helps me..they let me get in the plane..halleluyah!Wow..such wonderful journey and all glory to God who never fails be with us during the journey:)
