Day 13

2 April 2018

Today is a day that will be filled with happy yet emotional moments . It is finally the formal  presentation day that we all have been waiting for and it will be the day where we Singaporean students would say goodbye to the Indonesian students, indicating the end of this exchange programme .

We started our day with an early breakfast as we need to set off early to Medan Tourism Polytechnic for the preparation of our presentation . As we reached Medan Tourism Polytechnic , all the various teams headed to the Samosir Ballroom to get ready for the final presentation . We started presentation according to Team 1 to consecutive teams . Every team and presenter presented each of their own presentation with a nervous heart and gave it all out with one last shot . In between presentations, there were speeches given by Mr James Lee, Republic Polytechnic SOH director and one of the committee members of the Medan Tourism Authority Board . Constitutive feedbacks of our presentations were given by various authorities and teachers from different polytechnics .

About 12 plus in the afternoon, we had a hearty lunch at Medan Tourism Polytechnic . Following on, all of us rushed to changed into our performance costume after lunch . The dress code of red and white embodies the song that we are all dancing to . It is then followed by the official closing ceremony .  Before our performance , it started with a speech given by one representative from Singapore and Indonesian side to express our heartfelt gratitude for the whole of this exchange programme , outbound and inbound . Starting of the performance consists of the collaboration of our Singaporean and Indonesian students singing to ‘Attention ‘ by Charlie Puth as a dedication to our fellow mates . It was followed by performances by our Singaporean and Indonesian students . We then had an emotional and grateful session with all students hugging and crying as this programme came to an end . All of us cannot bear to part with each other with our heavy hearts . However , we were still able to spend our evening with the Indonesian students by going shopping with them at Sun Plaza .

We all officially parted ways saying our heavy goodbyes and farewells , promising to each other that we will meet again . For dinner , we went to a restaurant at a place which is secluded . Today was a day that we will always remember the memories that we all forged together and the times that we spent together which is irreplaceable . We ended off today happily as we carry our hearts nicely with the memories engraved in our memories .
