Yo guys!! Just came back from Bali.. That place was like heaven, it was so beautiful and the people there are amazing.. Let me tell you the highlights of the trip..

First day was relaxing, we assembled at the airport and took the fight to Bali.. When we reached there, we checked in the hotel, had dinner and went straight to bed..

Second day, we woke up at 6.30 in the morning, have our breakfast at the hotel cafe.. After breakfast, we went to the Sanur Beach.. It was a white sandy beach, the scenery there was beautiful.. We also visited the Gumicik Beach, a back sandy beach.. It was a bit dirty but the waves were huge and attractive..

Third day we went to their school.. When i first arrived there, i was surprised because all i could see was motorbike.. Than i realized that in Bali, the legal age to ride a motor is 16 years old, and to drive a car is 17 years old.. So most of the students ride a bike to school.. Really wished to be like them.. We started to mingle with the students there, and managed to build a strong relationship with them..

What i was most amazed by is their attitude towards school.. They studied in a small classroom where the table and chairs are made of wood, and there is only one fan inside the classroom.. How fortunate are we?? And we are still complaining about the facilities in the school.. We Singaporeans are too pampered, we gotta learn to be content in the things we have.. Despite all these, during lesson all of them are so focus and attentive.. Not even a single one of them are daydreaming.. Although some of the guys are noisy, but the noises they made was to bring up the atmosphere in the class, so that the lesson is not boring, not some unnecessary noises..

I learned their culture there as well.. Everyone of them know about their tradition and culture.. I was so embarrassed when I realized that I know nothing about mine at all.. Singapore schools should not just emphasize on academic performances, knowing about our beliefs and tradition is also as equally important as well.. How many of the people in Singapore know about all these things?? I always thought our students attitude is counted as one of the best in the world.. But after the trip to their school, I realized that we still got a lot to learn!! And we need to start by having a right attitude!! If they can focus and be attentive studying in a small classroom with only one fan.. Why can’t we be equally focus and attentive when studying in a big classroom which has at least four or five fans??

There is still a lot of things to say.. But I will just cut it short.. Bali was really beautiful!! Feel like throwing my passport away, I was so unwilling to come back.. A place that I will definitely go back!!
