 Merry Riana was born on May 29th, 1980 in Jakarta and grew up in a modest family. Her father's name is Ir. Suanto Sosrosaputro. He is a businessman. Her mother's name is Lynda Sanian. She is a housewife. She was the eldest of her three brothers. 



The journey of her life in Singapore started when there was an incident on 1998. She studied in Department of electrical engineering of Trisakti University .But because of the incident, she then chose College in Singapore to avoid unwanted things. Merry's father decided to send his daughter to study abroad. And at that time, singapore is a right choice because the distance is relatively close, it has safe environment and a good education system.




Start classes at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore
Merry began studying at College in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 1998. Merry wanted to become an engineer. That may be because she wanted to help her father in running the business. Without enough preparation for College in a foreign country, Merry had failed in United Kingdom language tests in Nanyang Technological University. Without preparation to prepare adequate funds, Merry borrowed funds from the Government of Singapore. She borrowed the funds a scholarship Government Singapore Bank for $ 40000 and should be repaid after graduation.

She only had $ 10 during a week. These funds are extremely minimal. So, to downsize, Merry only eating instant noodles in the morning, lunch with 2 pieces of bread without jam, participated in seminars and gatherings in the evenings for the sake of a free meal, even for a drink she took from tap water in her campus. It fade almost daily in his first year of College. The biggest concern of her life at that time was how to seek income beyond.

My Friend's Unforgettable Moment

Hi, Everyone.
Now, I want to tell you about an unforgettable moment. But this isn't mine. This unforgettable moment is Putri Adilla's, a member of our group. She shared her unforgettable moment to all member of our group.

Adil's unforgettable moment was when she hiked Guntur Mountain. It was the second time she hiked a mountain but, it was the first time she had a 'real hiking'.

Guntur Mountain in Garut, West Java
 (Source : explore1ndonesia.blogspot.com)

She went there on August 16th, 2014. She went to the mountain with her friends in the afternoon around 4 p.m.. She took a long journey to reach the peak of the mountain. The road to the mountain was rough and difficult. So, Adil and her friends had to held each others hands in order to not fell.

The memorable part of her journey was when they walked in the night. They could see a beautiful scenery of Garut City in the night from the peak of the mountain. The light from the house and the building made it looked like a star in the sky. It really amazed her.

In the morning, Adil and her friends were looking at a beautiful sunrise.It was around 3 a.m. when they got ready. It was really amazing for her to see the sunrise. She felt too bad that yesterday she couldn't see the sunset because of the journey.

It was on Indonesia's Independence Day, August 17th. One of her friend brought an Indonesian's flag. They hoisted the flag. They sang the anthem of Indonesian loudly together.It made her felt impressed and proud at the same time. It was really amazing experience for her.

So, that is an unforgettable moment from my friend, Adil. when I listened to her story, I feel happy too because it was a really amazing experience. Personally, I never hike a mountain before. And what make this story special because they celebrated the Independence Day of Indonesia there, in the Guntur Mountain and they hoisted Indonesian flag there too. It looks like what the explorer always do in every independence day of Indonesia and it is really cool. I hope I can have a chance to go hike a mountain like what Adil did.

So, what about your unforgettable moment? You can share it with me too.

That's all for today. Thank you and see you on the next post.
