My favorite place is the conservatory complex at Gardens By The Bay. My family and I visited Gardens By The Bay in February 2015. The conservatory have a unique design.The conservatories designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, are intended to be an energy efficient showcase of sustainable building technologies and to provide an all-weather edutainment space within the Gardens. It comprises the Flower Dome and The Cloud Forest

Hello, I’m back!

Now I want to tell you about MEGANTARA. MEGANTARA is a festival that held by SMA Negeri 3 Bandung on September 10, 2016. This festival is slightly different from other festival because this festival is a cultural festival that introduce Indonesian culture from another province. From this festival, I can learn about many culture in Indonesia.  

On September 10, 2016, at 7 a.m., there was parade, I joined the parade with other 10th grade student of SMAN 3 and with kindergarten students. We gathered at Bali Street and started walk around at 8 a.m. We passed Belitung Street, Sumatera Street, Merdeka Street, Jawa Street, and finnaly we finish at Bali Street. It’s so tiring. 

After parade, I went home to take a break and change my clothes from kebaya to casual clothes. I wore print shirt, black jeans, and shoes. I came back to Bali Street at 2 p.m. with my friend. I directly went to the gate and exchange my ticket with drink. Before it, at the gate, my bag was checked by committee. I just brought my purse and my phone.

I missed some performance such as Rampak kendang from Darul Hikam Junior High School, Studio Puri Hamdani, Puppet Show from Putra Giri Harja 3, and Anklung performance from KPA 3. Around 5 p.m. there was fashion show from 10th grade of SMAN 3 that each class send three person for fashion show. From my class, we send Ryu whose represent West Sulawesi, Dira whose represent Yogyakarta, and Timo whose represent Nusa Tenggara Timur.

I went to mushola to pray. After pray, I walk around to get some food because I’m hungry. I bought crispy chicken and lemon mojito. The lemon mojito was so refreshing and the crispy chicken was not bad. I saw some people brought a cup of ice cream. So, I bought a cup of ice cream, mmm.., I bought two scoops because I love ice cream hahaha.

T'ST (Tiloe’s Theater) was perform about Indonesian culture and Western culture. I think their performance was great. After that OSD from ITB was perform, they wore unique costum. And after that The Changcuters was on the stage, they perform about 8 song, and they were soo great and energic, I enjoyed their performance even though my feet was hurt cause standing too long.  Mmm, I stood about for 4 hours. After The Changcuters, RAN was on the stage, I went out from the crowd cause my feet was so hurt and search for chair for sit. And I sit on the ground cause there was no empty chair. I watched RAN from far away.

At 10 p.m. I went home. It’s very tiring and unforgettable day. I’ll wait for next festival next year!

Mobile Phone




Almost all people in the world know mobile phone. Mobile phone is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency carrier while the user is moving within a telephone service area. In my opinion, mobile phone, especially smartphone is important in our life because it is help our work. It’s help us to keeping in touch with family member and friends, help our business, and for entertainment. With smartphones, we also can access the internet.

Martin Cooper of Motorola made the first publicized handheld mobile phone call on a prototype DynaTAC model on April 4, 1973. The first commercial automated cellular network was launched in Japan by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone in 1979. This was followed in 1981 by the simultaneous launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. These first-generation (1G) systems could support far more simultaneous calls, but still used analog technology. In 1991, the second-generation (2G) digital cellular technology was launched in Finland by Radiolinja on the GSM standard. 

Ten years later, in 2001, the third generation (3G) was launched in Japan by NTT DoCoMo on the WCDMA standard. This was followed by 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G enhancements based on the high-speed packet access (HSPA) family, allowing UMTS networks to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. By 2009, it had become clear that, at some point, 3G networks would be overwhelmed by the growth of bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming media. Consequently, the industry began looking to data-optimized fourth-generation technologies, with the promise of speed improvements up to ten-fold over existing 3G technologies. The first two commercially available technologies billed as 4G were the WiMAX standard, offered in North America by Sprint, and the LTE standard, first offered in Scandinavia by TeliaSonera.
Mobile phone use while driving, including talking on the phone, texting, or operating other phone features, is common but controversial. It is widely considered dangerous due to distracted driving. Being distracted while operating a motor vehicle has been shown to increase the risk of accidents. In September 2010, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 995 people were killed by drivers distracted by cell phones.

Mobile phones are commonly used to collect location data. While the phone is turned on, the geographical location of a mobile phone can be determined easily (whether it is being used or not) using a technique known as multilateration to calculate the differences in time for a signal to travel from the mobile phone to each of several cell towers near the owner of the phone. The movements of a mobile phone user can be tracked by their service provider and, if desired, by law enforcement agencies and their governments. Both the SIM card and the handset can be tracked.

The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is the subject of recent interest and study, as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world. Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range, which some believe may be harmful to human health.
