#30216 : Trip to Bali

On 20^th-26^th April 2015, me and the other 11^th grader went to Bali. First we met at the train station. There, we took our luggage tag. After waiting for about 2 hours, we finally set off from Bandung. We enjoy the way to Surabaya because me and my friends have a good time on the train, we played, we chatted, we ate, and the other fun stuff.

On the next evening we arrived at the harbour. We rode the bus depended on the class. I slept on the way to the hotel and when i arrived,  i watched Barcelona ( which Barcelona won the match ) and finally fell asleep.

For now, i will tell you the best part of this Trip to Bali. The first one happened on the first day of the trip, we went to the “ Tanjung Benoa “. I had so much fun there since i played 3 awesome water sports. I played banana boat, parasailing and of course jet ski. I played a lot of sports until i couldn’t get a good amount of food. But that’s not a problem.

And then my next favorite moment is when we ate dinner on “ Jimbaran “. The food is very tasty and fresh, i even ate my friend’s food. After we ate, we flew a lantern per class and we were having a good times with our class.

Next is the moment where we visited the “ Penglipuran Village “. That place is so tidy and still traditional. I took some photos there.

One of my most favorite thing is when we ate at “ Kintamani “. We wereserved with more than 10 different foods. I ate a lot of food there, and i had the best watermelon i’ve ever eaten there. I wish i can come back to Kintamani soon.

Next is the “ Malam Keakraban “. At that moment, i performed a cabaret from Tiloe’s Theatre and it turned out to be satisfying. After that, at midnight, me and my friends ordered McDonald’s double-cheesse burger, french fries, and soda. We ate until 2 a.m. and went to our own room.

That’s my favorite moment when we went to Bali. I felt so happy and have a very good time there and i wish i can have another memorable trip like this next time. 

Song Review : Eric Clapton – “ Tears in Heaven “

In a heartbreaking tragic accident, Clapton’s four-and-a-half-year-old son, Conor, fell out of an open window in the high-rise New York condominium he was living in with his mother, actress and Italian television personality Lory Del Santo. Although New York law requires window guards in apartment buildings, according to Snopes, a 1984 ruling exempted condos, leaving building owners to decide whether or not to have safety devices installed.

The New York Times reported that Conor’s accident happened during a visit from the housekeeper, who had opened the six-by-four window in order to clean it when Conor wasn’t in the room and was unable to prevent the boy from “[darting] past” before it was shut.

In a 2005 interview with Mojo, Clapton said Conor’s death “threw me into … a wobble,” and in the immediate aftermath of the accident, he coped by throwing himself into his work — most notably by contributing a trio of new songs to the soundtrack of the 1991 movie Rush, including “Tears in Heaven,” the Grammy-winning hit ballad inspired by the immense grief of his loss.

I really like this song because the song composition is just simple yet touching. Moreover when i knew what’s the meaning behind this song. You can feel the sadness, the misery, and the sincerity of Eric Clapton in this song. The lyrics are very meaningful and beautiful. That’s what makes me really like this song.
