Tennis Tournament
This sunday, December 13, I had a tennis tournament for doubles (japanese). It was my second time going in a tennis tournament and last time I came 3rd and my doubles partner was a friend from Bandung. We were sure we will come 1st because I run 1km every morning at 5am and tennis practice everyday after dinner. I was really nervous because there were 7th graders in that tournament too. We played our first game and it was easy because they were our age and they were beginners. We won them 6-0. The second match was a had real hard match and if we won that match we would go to the finals but if we lost we would go to the match where we choose who is in 3rd place. It was a real tough game but we won 6-5 and we went to the finals. At the finals we played against 7th graders. I would really be shocked and ticked off because the 1km I ran every morning and the practice I was doing would just be a waste. We were really nervous. After 30 minitues we were still playing but after ten minutes the score was 6-5 to us. We were so happy and we were really surprised that we won. We actually came 1st! The problem was if I could come 1st again next Tournament.

Writing about 3rd of December
December 3 is the unluckest day of my life. You know why? Read on and find out!
December 3 is the unluckest because in the morning I was supposed to wake up at 5am in the morning to go jogging but my alarm never went on and I woke up at 6:30. And I had to leave for school at 6:40 so I didnt shower, no brakefast, no talking, I just got ready for school.
School was ok but after school was the problem. When I got home, I did my homework, my japanese homework and my 3 pages of math. After that I went downstairs to play soccer. I brought my soccer ball and my tennis racket and 120000rp and my phone. The reason I brought a tennis racket is because I had a tennis lesson after and the reason I had 120000rp is because I had to pay 20000rp to the ball boy and 100000rp is for pulsa for my phone. After soccer I noticed that my bag was opened and the 120000rp was gone. So I went serching for it but I couldnt find it. I got late for tennis and got in trouble. While I was playing, I served the ball and I accedently hit the racket to my knee and now I have tis little bump on my knee.
After I went home, my sisters PURPOUSLY spilled water on the floor and I slipped on it. And I got in trouble for slipping on water because my mom thinks I was not waching where I walked.
This is why December 3, is the worst day of my life.

Water treatment plant
We went to a water treatment plant somewhere in Jakarta. What we do there is that we have to clean the water so that we can give the water to the taps in Jakarta.
What we did in the first station is we get the water from the river near us and we remove the garbage from the river which is called Garbage Removal. We take out big trash and little trash like cup noodle cups.
On the second station, we added chlorine to the water to kill the bacteria and we added floc the the water (its a chemical which makes solid objects stick together)
The third station, we had to make the floc sink to the bottom and after that we add chlorine to kill the bacteria again
The fourth station is to make the water go through a 1 meter tell sand so we can get the water clean. Then we add chlorine again!
The last station was to test the water if the water is safe enough to give it to the people who live near the water treatment plant. I learned a lot of things at the plant
