extremely fun times with IC 2011 :)

hey hey fella! I just came back from Thousand Island (dressing) after having so much fun with my dearest friend from International Class 2011. And I will tell the whole story for you.

As usual, I was sleeping at my house in Jati Indah. I remembered that the ferry boat will depart at 8 and school gave an option to go to the pier by school mini bus, but we had to arrive at school on 6:30! That's why I decided to woke up at couple of minutes to 5 and prepare myself to go to my apartment first, because I've already put some clothes and other essential things on my bed to make the packing time shorter and more efficient. After I went from Jati Indah to apartment, then I packed all my things, and I rushed to school. I arrived at 6:35-fortunately, the school bus hadn't gone yet. I met many people there and found the teachers had their gymnastic session but few of international class teachers seemed didn't follow the gymnastic. I also met my friends-Dana, Cindy, Hakim, Ardi, Nisna, Danu- they will join the minibus trip to the pier. Finally we departured from school and arrived at Marina, Ancol, and we looked for Pier 15. After that, the journey through the sea began..

On the boat, on few first half-hour, the kids were so noisy. As usual - Goya, Reza dkk were making some noise, but fortunately, I was on the front seat and they were at the back, so their voices weren't too loud. Three quarter hour before we arrived, most of my friends had closed their eyes and went to sleep. I never missed this opportunity to take some pictures of their true faces-faces when they fell asleep. Finally, the boat arrived at Pramuka Island.

First opinion about the island: THE WATER IS VERY CLEAN! I could see some group of fishes were chasing each other and we can see the sea floor easily. Then, I picked my luggage in the baggage (rimanya nyambung) and walked to our lodging then put down our luggage. After that, opening ceremony began and the EO representative, kak Dhamar, mentioned our name and divided us into 8 groups. I was in group 8 with Nisna, Lewis, Nacil and Ryan with kak Piko as our mentor. All groups were going to a handmade bricket 'factory' close to our lodging. After that, we had recess, than we were divided into two groups; groups that picked some garbages along the coastline (my group's was extremely heavy! -lebay-). Then, we separated them into several catagories and filled our check list, then WE MADE THE BRICKETS ♥ this is my favourite part.

From picking the bins, we were ... SNORKLING ♥ this was my premiere snorkle, reminding my holiday wasn't as fun as most of the usual teen's holiday. We were also requested to pick the garbage that we found during our snorkeling session. And.. what I found weren't the garbage. But... THE HELL OF SEA URCHINS!!!!!!

this thing filled the ocean floor. how horrible

After that, we had recess, played CAPSA of course (with the alumi joined us), took a bath, had dinner and watched beautiful stars (I hoped he stood beside me). The day continued with a session with alumni, which was so much fun, then we went to sleep.

I woke up every evening with a big smile on my face in the morning and decided to take a bath after the one who had stayed in the bathroom for a couple of quarter hour. Then I walked outside with my friends, waited for my teacher who wanted to do 'sunrise photo hunt'. But after we walked around the island, went to the harbour, we figured out that the sun rose in front of our lodge -________-

After that, we played capsa again and again, then we had breakfast. The day continued with interviewed local people and did presentation per group. Aaaand we went home :)



I love my SMAN 8 International Class of 2011 :) :)
