Bandung Part 4

As usual, we gathered at the lobby at 7.30am and headed towards SPLB Mutiara Bunda (School of Inclusive).

Around 30 minutes later, we arrived at SD Mutiara Bunda. We entered a hall for a short briefing by Ibu Tina ~ head of the school.

Later then, we were divided into groups of 3. We all went over to Unit Stimulasi Anak (USA) where the kids with special needs were placed there for any assessments, therapies etc.


Kak Ina, Lim and me were in the same group. We were given 1 Tenis. Because of us, they didn't manage to go over to art room but waited for the art teacher to enter their class. Before the art teacher arrived, we actually had a short introduction session. The students there were 'sporting' enough to ask us lots and lots of questions...*_^


There were 3 to 4 teachers and assistants placed in each classrooms. 1 teacher, 1 assistant, 1 ortopedagog and also 1 'guru pendamping' if needed. There are a total of 25 students in the class but 2 were absent including 2 kids with special needs. Dr.Norani and Dr.Hanafi came into 1 Tenis. Hehe....they were having hard time to recognize the kids with special needs since everyone looks 'normal'....*_^

Riko is one of the student with special needs. He is having mobility problem. But due to our lecturer's explanation, the main problem of Riko is that he has eye problem. His eyes muscle made him can't actually concentrate well and that he can't balance himself...


10am, we gathered again and went over to SMP & SMA Mutiara Bunda which is not far away from SD Mutiara Bunda. Since Mutiara Bunda was a private school, therefore the students were wearing their own home clothes...=) The students as well as their coach did a choir performance so to welcome us!!Great one!*_^


12.15pm we went for lunch after a photo session at SMP & SMA Mutiara Bunda. We ate Masakan Padang!!!Nice, I love the beef...=P


at 1.30pm, we were told that there will be a programme regarding Masters Study prepared for us by UPI lecturers...Yea, for sure we attended it. After that, all of us were half dead and decided not to go for Wisata Budaya ~ Jalan-jalan..........=P

But we felt fresh after a short rest. 5.30pm, ChekNing and me went for a walk around the hotel. We were actually curious on how the residents go into the housing areas...and so, we entered one of the small lane and realized that there are computer shops, dobi, sundry shops etc....those essential shops are there!!!


We went over to UPI to tae pictures and walked upwards.. Hehe...I bought 1 bar of dark chocolate and tried some Batagor (Baso Tahu Goreng)....Erm, it tasted nice at first but feel 'jelak' after eating too much of it....*_^
