DAY #3 - MOA Signing at Indonesia's Independence Day

Friday, august 17

The third day is August 17, which is the independence day of Indonesia. We should be prepared for at least at 08:00 AM because there will be a MOA Signing with the President of ISAT-U and agency partners.

The MOA Signing went well. It was held in an indoor room named Ed Tech Center. We were greeted warmly by all the high officials, lecturers, and the agency partners. We were directed to sit in the row of chairs that looked like a pers conference chairs, ahaha. We got introduced by our coordinators too. I got to meet my coordinator for OJT (On Job Training) from Mulave Studios for the first time.

We took so many photos for documentation. Since it was the independence day, we brought Indonesia’s flag for our picture’s attribute.

After taking photos, we directed to board room where we can eat lunch. After eating lunch, Mam Mabaquiao approached me and told me that my coordinator want to talk to me so I finished my eating, approached my coordinator too and started a conversation nervously. But luckily, he is a friendly man and I can talk relaxly after about 5 minutes. We talked about basic things like what softwares do I use for editing motion graphics, what I interested in about Information Technology, even about Indonesia and similarities about Indonesia and Philippines. Sadly, the conversation ended when it was around 1 PM because my Mulave coordinator should have to go.

Lunch ended. Me and my roommates Mira and Ajin went back to the dorm because we were given the free time. Day #3 was in Friday which is the Sport Day of ISAT-U. My buddies Mark Daza, Philip and Tonette suggested us to watch the volleyball match rather than have nothing to do in dorm.

We watched the match for about 2 hours and went back to the dorm again since it was 4 in the afternoon. We rested for a while and went out again to eat dinner with our buddies.

Our buddies accompanied us to bought the nearest dinner cuisine then we bought fried chickens. Sadly they have to went back home because it was 8 PM already, and we ate dinner with the buddies of CIT students.

They cooked a special Philippines cuisine for us, Chicken Adobo and surprisingly they bought Balut for us.

Yes, Balut. The Philippines food which known as a-weird-looking-undercooked duck eggs. Even it’s disgusting for some people, I think Balut tastes good just like an usual boiled eggs. I tried to taste it without any hesitant, umm, yeah, just a little bit scared at the first hehe but actually, it really tastes good. Maybe I would like to have some Balut again soon.

Day #3 was great, hope to get new knowledges again tommorow!
