The Sims 4 to The Sims 3 - LittleDica Rise & Grind Coffeehouse Set

Quite some time ago, I mentioned that a café themed set was on the horizon - here it is now! ☕ Important info and download 💾 below:

About a year ago, I worked on several projects, but many things happened that prevented the release of them. This set was one of them - primarily, I make things for myself and my own use and post later. However, when it came to posting these, some items needed a little extra attention as I wanted them to look a little better, and I ended up adding more than I originally had. It's here now, so it all worked out in the end :) Some of you may have spotted some of these items in my Target set previews 🧐 bonus points to you. Most of LittleDica's sets are my absolute favorite from TS4, and I'm already working on more. Plan to see more of these and others soon! Here's what's included: Aroma Sensations Mural - Wall Deco Professionally Scribbled Chalk Drawing - Wall Deco Dracaena Lemon Lime Plant - Deco Splash of Coffee Mural - Wall Deco Artist's Café Mural - Wall Deco Napkin Holder - Deco Café Bar - Deco Surface with many slots Counter Straw Holder - Separated deco from café bar mesh Counter Menu Sign - Separated deco from café bar mesh Coffee Shop Wall Sign (Text) - Wall Light Coffee Shop Wall Sign (Round) - Wall Light Coffee Shop Wall Sign (Large Backlit) - Wall Light Preparation Station - Display/Miscellaneous Surface, has many deco slots for holding items Coffee Beans Bin - Floor Deco Coffee Bags Bin - Floor Deco Coffee Bean Silo - Deco Wall Menu Sign - Wall Deco Iced Drink Tumbler - Deco Coffee Machine Pods - Deco Coffee Mug - Deco Espresso Powder - Deco Corporate Window Stickers - Wall Deco Syrup Bottle - Deco Spice Shaker - Deco Reusable Hot Coffee Cup - Deco H&B Smooth Pro Blender - Functional food processor appliance Barista Professionista Coffee Grinder - Functional coffee machine appliance Functional EA Edit by Me - Separated Barista Bar - Fully functional version of the barista bar coffee machine without the counter. It is "floating" and does not require placement on a counter or surface. May want to use moveobjects and/or alt placement to place around objects and surfaces, but is very versatile and works just like the original! Dunkin' - Lot file, modified version of TKL4EVR's Great American Eateries Baskin-Robbins Lot. Around this time last year, Dunkin became my favorite go-to coffee, and mocha cold brew has got me through the rollercoaster of this last year! ☕️ I edited this lot for me, but figured I'd share. Place in: The Sims 3 > Library Collection File - collection file to find the items easy in build/buy mode. Place in: The Sims 3 > Collections > User 🔍 Search: You can search for riverianepondsims, LittleDica, or 2023 to locate the items conveniently using a catalog search mod.

- You can find all of my previous uploads conveniently by clicking “Navigation” on my blog and going to “Downloads” or visiting riverianepondsims downloads

My downloads will always be free, but if you would like to say thank you: Ko-fi ☕

My first ever CC for the sims 4, simple but possibly useful nonetheless, Window stickers! Yes, that's right! the Window is a lie! Your basement sims will never need to feel cramped in their tiny little basements again with the promise of fake grassy fields and trees that probably don't reside in their part of the world. Money can’t buy happiness, but ignorance sure can!   

Get it here!

THE BEAR AND BADGER

Wooof.. this build took waaaay longer than expected, especially for a 20x15 lot. At one point I was going to scrap it completely cause it just didn’t have the vibe I wanted, but then it just turned around on me and became this charming little pub! 

Cute and quaint on the outside, The Bear and Badger is a typical workman’s pub during the day and a local university hangout once classes are over. On the inside, it’s filled with curiosities from all over, old paintings line the worn walls from decades ago, and the owners have no intention of modernising the decor. It has all the amenities to keep thirsty students occupied; a DJ booth, a dance floor and juice pong out on the patio, a jukebox inside, foosball and don’t wake the llama upstairs. Students are sure to have a great time here!

CC links & download under the cut!

This build has CC, you can use the build without it, but some build items and objects will need to replace with game supplied alternatives. The majority of the cc is decor. Some cc is from Down With Patreon, which I have noted, and it’s totally your choice if you want to download or not, depending on what your stance is on that topic.

[gotatext]

                   hllo ! i’m nora ( she / her, 24, gmt ) crawling back to this rp once more like the dirty sewer slug i am !! i just can’t get enough, baybeyyy ! u may remember me frm such roles as alma putnam, rory bergstrom, bridget matusiak or greta o’driscoll 2 name jst a few.... sure there were more over these long years, bt the show must go on.... this is mimi, she’s dogmatic, tenacious n single-minded 2 the point of recklessness, she doesn’t like handouts n she’s funding her degree through her onlyfans account n moaning abt shit on tiktok. we love 2 see it !!  slam that like button n i’ll creep into ur DMs like the slippery worm i am   OR u can discord me at that bitch carole baskin#8664.   a humble pinterest.

『ALEXA DEMIE ❙ CIS-FEMALE 』 ⟿ looks like MIMI MARTÍNEZ is here for HER SOPHOMORE year as an ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY student. SHE is 22 years old & known to be STRONG-WILLED, GOAL-ORIENTED, ARROGANT & EASILY BORED. They’re living in MORIS, so if you’re there, watch out for them. ⬳ nora. 24. gmt. she/her.

this is p embarassing but i actually originally wrote mimi for a discord rp based around love island asgjag dont laugh at me but it was so chaotic n someone deleted it w-out telling any of us so i lost her bio.... all her threads....e verythin.... it was mad. but anyway we startin from scratch w this intro so bare with

mimi is a really extra character so when trying to flesh her out i thot of the most extra thing i could do n made a colour coded mindmap with watercolour paints detailing her values, aesthetics and early life. shoot me

background: she grew up in a trailer home in boulder city, abt half an hour from vegas. her mom had worked in a vegas casino for most of her 20s but relocated to boulder city for a slower pace of life / lower crime rate when she started having kids. mimi has 2 older brothers n she’s the youngest. has that invulnerable younger sibling complex n basically thinks nothing can touch her. very confident in her own intelligence and her ability to get shit done 

has mexican ancestry on her mom’s side. doesn’t know her dad. was raised with spanish catholic principals n found it all very stained glass windows and extra n that’s why she was kinda drawn to the decadence of vegas and all these massively high key aesthetics, like dia de les muertos was her fave thing growin up just bcos the pure feel of the festival and painting a sugar skull on her face n being able to party on the streets in a flower crown where everyone was kinda anonymous but together in this celebration

in boulder city her mom worked as a carer as there’s a lot of retirees there. mimi really resented the slow pace of life, longed for some fucking energy n life. she was a cheerleader in school but outside of school there wsn’t much to do except practise stunts and go on bike rides.  occasionally they’d get dressed up and catch a bus to henderson, the next biggest city for them to get tht sweet night life

her teenage years consisted mostly of hanging around the renovated motel blocks used as housing projects n tanning by the pool. very florida project if you’ve seen that. she reminds me a lot of the mum in that. also she started working as an avon rep going door-to-door when she was 16 bcos she wanted to have her own income. like as young as 14 she’d decided she was smart enough to go to college but she didn’t have the money n her family didn’t really see it as a worthwhile thing, her mom was very like the mom from matilda “you chose books.... i chose looks!” which i think is where a lot of mimi’s more shallow / appearance-driven traits come from

wasn’t really ‘cool’ until high school. before that she was a bit of a lisa simpson type. won a spelling bee when she was 9. was in the mathletes squad in middle school. when she went from middle school to high school she started cheer and tried to reinvent herself basically. always been very concerned with social mobility and keen to socially climb, like when she enters a new situation she’ll find out who the alphas are and quickly try n befriend them

when she turned 18 she moved out and went to vegas despite her mom hating the idea bcos it was everything she’d tried to get her kids away from. she worked in the clubs there for several years as a shot girl, a table dancer, n eventually she started workin behind the bar in a strip club. in the club it ws really hard to resist becoming a dancer bcos of the sheer amount they made in tips. no one really pressured her into it she just eventually decided tht it was way more logical to do it while she was young n fit and had the stamina and ppl were willing to pay to see her body so she started taking pole fitness lessons. she also started working as a cam girl around this time

working in vegas strip clubs is basically whats paid for uni. like she didn’t go at 18 like most of her friends did bcos she didn’t have the money and she didn’t want to feel indebted to a college like she had to compete for her place and not put a toe out of line bcos she was on a scholarship. she was determined to pay her own way and it took 4 years of working really hard and saving n even tho she was working in vegas she basically never went out bcos every penny she had needed to go on uni n thts how we get to radcliffe baybeeyy

part 2  - interior / values / personality

values: the aesthetic !! literally loves the aesthetic so much. everything she owns is super embellished, she’s a pop socket gal, her dell laptop is covered in glitzy stickers, she always has acrylics n probs makes nail art videos on tiktok. really tuned into tiny details like painting a little hello kitty above her eye which translates into her degree when she’s doing small-scale mockups of town plans n stuff... she jst puts so much detail into them. ppl often get surprised when she tells them she does architecture but it makes so much sense bcos she grew up in a trailer park n was always thinking about ways the space could be more efficiently used, like she loves re-conceptualising neighbourhoods, definitely spent hours on sims as a kid. she also grew up near hoover dam n so loads of school trips they just took them there n she was like.... this is tight but it could be cooler.... where’s the passion....

massively into photography, has such a neat instagram feed like everything just compliments the tones in the next post like mMMM. idk if any of u know any architecture students but this is literally the one constant i can find…. like they all have super good instagrams feeds. is that bitch that will take 40 fake candids of u in a row at different angles to get u the perfect profile picture cos she understands the importance of marketing urself and having an online #brand

has wire rimmed glasses that she doesn’t need to see BUT they r like a magnifying glass for when she’s working with really small materials to do a mock up of an urban plan, and also just sometimes wears them for the aesthetic bc she’s such a pinterest bitch

assassination nation is such a big mood. literally the aesthetics of that and lily colson’s whole brand of feminism and nudity not being inherently sexual but at the same time wanting to profit off that bcos why the fuck shouldnt she use a corrupt system to her advantage is incredibly mimi

literally a human personification of a bratz doll both in attitude and fashion sense

somehow simultaneously gansey in the raven cycle AND elle woods in legally blonde? the two genders 

values cont bc i started rambling: her independence and freedom. being the best at any given task she sets her mind to accomplish because she is unable to accept failure. social mobility. sexual liberation. interested in the psychology of sub-cultures and how ppl form groups and interact w each other and cult identities which is why she minors in anthropology. pro-choice. pro-weed legalisation. pro-sex worker rights. very activist.

aesthetics tht remind me of her: von dutch. a strappy cami top that says ‘please do not do coke in the bathroom’. low-waisted jeans that show off her belly button piercing. acrylic nails tapping against a heavily embellished second-hand dell laptop. heart shaped sunglasses in every colour. translucent stripper heels with barbie doll heads and plastic spiders in the heel. spraying champagne you cant afford all over the walls. narcotics in a heart shaped locket. an amazon wishlist full of lingerie linked on your tinder profile. sex tapes recorded on VCR. a religious devotion to waxing clinics. necking shots like you were born to do it.

she’s an enfj type which makes her pretty charismatic and confidence, like she has a fierce kind of energy to her, but she’s also super unwilling to accept criticism, dogmatic and can only really see her own way of thinking, quite ruthless when it comes 2 other ppls emotions despite having a poor control of her own and being prone to turbulence / throwin a bitch fit in the craft lab. easily bored. competitive. self-assured to the point of arrogance. forceful. adaptable. usually more rational than emotional but occasionally loses the ability to make rational decisions when blinded by a need for perfectionism.

very goal-oriented. money motivates her. money and clothes. she wants to look bomb while earning big bucks. when she gets her mind set on a project it literally consumes her she will forget to eat and sleep? i don’t know her.  like when a final design project is due for architecture she’ll be up all night doing adderall and speed to keep her awake working on the placement of a single tree for ages cos its gotta be perfect

loves chaos. will spill your secrets and pretend it was an accident. will always be that gif of kim kardashian sipping her tea while drama unfolds around her. lives for the drama like that gifset of bratz when she comes running and gets her phone out to record a fight.

im makin her sound like a really bad person but hopefully she’ll be somewhat likeable she can be very charismatic and endearing and she’s naturally quite funny. also now she’s finally in college and doesn’t have to worry so much about money she actually allows herself to party n bcos she denied herself of it for so long she kinda makes up for it by going p wild like will be the girl climbing on to stage to crowd surf at gigs or doing a summersault off the bar and being escorted out by bouncers, thats the energy were looking at, pure dionysian hedonistic impulse

really gd at talking her way out of shit like parking fines. so good at being an ‘im baby’ girl and often dumbs herself down to figures of authority to appear less like a threatening ball-breaker and more like a confused fiat 500 girl who didn’t know red meant stop she thought it meant slow down

listens almost exclusively to female artists. has fergalicious on repeat when she does squats infront of the mirror n just the biggest fergie stan. also lana del rey’s whole vibe is massive mimi energy

ok ya thats all i have for now..... hopefully this is somewhat coherent and not just garbage.

The Sims 4 Moschino Stuff - Early Access Build/Buy Review

Huge thank you to the EA Game Changer Program for providing me with the opportunity to play Moschino Stuff early!

Ever since I saw the trailer for Moschino Stuff, I knew the Build/Buy content was going to be the part of this pack that I was the most excited for and interested in and for the most part I absolutely love a lot of it. But, like CAS, Build/Buy is not without it’s issues.

As always, if you have any questions about the pack, feel free to send me an ask!

See a preview of all the new Build/Buy items here

👗The Buy

I pretty much love all of the Buy Mode objects. The couches come in some very cool patterns as well as solids, the funky pop art mirror is fun, and I love that the end table is much lower than most end tables we have so it sits nice and flush at the same height as the couches and coffee table.

But my favourite things are probably, as always, the decorative stuff. More specifically the LiBEARian (the books with the bear book ends, get it!), the Simsational Style Stack (the magazine pile) and the Amp Stack (they’re all in the pics above). Even though the Amp Stack is purely decorative, it looks very cool sitting next to a guitar and adds a lot of character to any musician’s house!

I also really like the Repurposed Gear Chest (the trunk with stickers on it) that’s essentially a coffee table and looks very cool and retro, and the Tastefully Empty Bookcase which... is not empty at all? lol I do wish the bookcase came in different heights and widths as well, but at least this time it’s a short one, unlike the bookcases that came with Seasons and StrangerVille that I love but never get to use because they’re too tall for short walls.

Something that’s bothered me pretty much since base game released is that there’s no consistent colour palette for all build/buy objects. I get that each pack has specific themes and there might be colours that fit that theme better than others but I would love to see a consistent palette used throughout every pack — say like black and white obviously, 5 different wood tones, 5 solid neutrals and 5 solid “standard” colours (blue, red, yellow etc) — and have every single item that gets added to the game made in those colours, then if a new pack has specific colours for it’s theme they can be added on top of the standard palette. I like the colour palette that was chosen for the items in this pack but I found it really hard to find anything from other packs that matched it. It bothers me so much that nothing ever matches from pack to pack, half the time objects in the same pack don’t even match! And even now that the 350 new swatches were added to base game doors... they still don’t match anything else!

Sorry, I know I’m ranting and this has very little to do with Moschino Stuff but it just really bothers me that nothing ever matches because whenever I build I spend hours trying to find a floor to match the trim around the bottom of the wall I’ve chosen, then none of the doors match the floor and trim so I have to change it all, then none of the windows match the doors, floor and trim, and on and on until I’ve completely forgotten what I originally wanted the build to look like!

I really like the new frames we got for photos too, and the fact that they can now be placed on tables BUT I’ve had a couple of issues with them. First of all, it’s not possible to turn the frames placed on tables using the alt key, so you can only turn them in 45 degree increments and I hate that. I like to have all my photo frames slightly askew at different angles and it bothers me that these ones can only be places either facing straight forwards or angled by 45 degrees.

The second issue I have with the frames is actually more of a technical one but I’m not entirely sure if it’s the frames themselves, the photos, or the photography skill; I haven’t been able to work that out yet. When I have a sim take photos using the new tripod and camera everything is fine, but the second I exit out of the photography UI my FPS drops drastically.

I thought it was just my computer being stupid at first, until other Game Changers started reporting the same issue. I suspect it might be the photos and frames — specifically the new collage frame — because as soon as I remove the frames from the lot, the FPS goes back to normal. My game normally runs at a steady 60 FPS at all times but as you can see here, it drops down to 8-12 whenever there are framed photos on the lot and shoots back up when I delete them.

NOTE: This was with my game 100% CC and Mod free.

All of the new photography gear is so cool too! The fact that most of the items (like the tripod, camera, and tape markers) can be picked up in your sims inventory is so handy; your sim can just grab their equipment and head out into the world to take photos of other sims, landscapes, pets, and themselves literally anywhere they can plop the tripod down! And the backdrops have some really cool backgrounds for you to take photos in front of... or maybe... some other... uses 😈

👗The Build

I think the thing most people were looking forward to in this pack were the beautiful windows and doors; I’m definitely one of those people lol They are definitely gorgeous but as seems to happen every single time we get new windows and doors, the selection is limit in many different ways.

Every single colourway for both the windows and the doors is either white, black, red, or some combination of those colours. There are no colourways that match any of the other colours used on the furniture for the set (like blue, pink and yellow) and absolutely zero wood or neutral tones.

There are also no other heights for both the door and window other than for the shortest wall height, which absolutely baffles me because they’re clearly a set made to be used in lofts and converted warehouse type builds... builds that are generally made with either the medium or tallest wall height. They also didn’t bother to make single tile versions of any of the windows and doors, or even a closed version for the smaller window!

But what’s even more baffling (at least to me) is the way the door was made. I literally spent a full 30 minutes just sitting here in front of my computer, staring at this door, trying to figure out what could possibly have been going through the head of whoever made it when they decided that not only would it be shorter on one side, therefore also shorter than the windows, but also that it wouldn’t take up the full two tiles it was allocated and therefore wouldn’t sit flush up against the windows it was made to go with!

I saw a tweet by one of the Gurus that basically said “It’s the right height on the outside, just flip it around” but... that still leaves you with one side shorter than the windows, it’s just now on the other side, and there’s still gaps at the side! Why you would go to all the trouble to make the windows fit beautifully together like that and then not make the door exactly the same height and width! It bothers me way more than it probably should but I just don’t understand!

On the plus side, there are some base game doors that fit in with the windows (kind of) that I will probably use instead of the Moschino door... at least until someone makes a build add-on for them anyway lol

👗The Verdict

Overall, while I have issues with some of the build/buy stuff, this is where this pack makes up for the lack of CAS stuff in my opinion and what would make me want to fork over the $10 for the pack. To be completely honest, I’d pay $10 just for the LiBEARian though 🤣

All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. I am not paid by EA to “hype” their games; I am given the opportunity to review their games early in exchange for an honest review.

Best dell laptop in India

Dell's 7590 conveys on the majority of the upsides for OLEDs. One of the greatest intimations that the 7590 has an OLED is that Windows 10 is set to dull mode out of the container. This paints the majority of Microsoft's applications, similar to File Explorer, dark. This has a functional side. On OLEDs, when pixels are off, they're truly off and not depleting the battery. LCDs don't work that way. They're still on even in dim Mode. Best laptops in market This can be essential as an ever increasing number of PCs embrace OLEDs in the coming years in light of the fact that showcases eat up more squeeze than any single part in the framework.

Execution/correlation with 2019 MacBook Pro 15: If you test a great deal of PCs (as I do) it is conceivable to feel how quick a PC is. Out of the crate, everything appears to react continuously with no discernible slack, i.e., it feels like the quickest PC I've at any point tried.Be that as it may, on the off chance that you lean toward benchmarks, Geekbench 4 CPU benchmarks counted 5,581 on single center and 27,637 on multicore.That is practically in a similar ball park as the new first class MacBook Pro 15 with the Core i9 9980HK.In any case, the MacBook Pro costs significantly in excess of a similar XPS 15 7590: the MBP is $3,399 with the 9980HK, 32GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB SSD.Venture up to a 1TB SSD and Radeon Pro Vega 20 and you're at a tenuous sticker price of $4,149 for the MacBook Pro. Also, you're not getting an OLED show.

Structure: at the outset, I was frustrated that the plan hadn't changed. Truly, the webcam has been moved to the top bezel (which is still exceptionally slim) of the showcase and there's a unique mark sensor incorporated with the power catch. Be that as it may, despite everything it looks and feels practically equivalent to past cycles of the XPS 15 and still has the silver CNC machined aluminum with a carbon fiber composite palm rest encompassing a similar console.In any case, there's likely a valid justification for that. The structure works. All things considered, in the event that it ain't broke....

Speakers: Aside from the OLED show, this is the greatest change for me. On the off chance that you utilize the Maxx sound application to change the equalizer, the speakers can toss out great sound — much preferred sound over on a past variant of the XPS 15 I utilized a year ago.Battery life: you're not going to get extraordinary battery life. Not with the majority of the pull that the 7590 has. My restricted testing shows normal battery life. By examination, the OLED HP Specter x360 15 (which I additionally have) shows signs of improvement battery life yet that has a quad-center i7 8565U (15 watts versus 45 watts on the 9980HK) and a Nvidia GeForce MX150.

Warmth: my 7590 has not overheated but rather I'm not a gamer and by and large don't test existing known limits. All things considered, I do take part in what I would call enormous performing various tasks with many tabs, some running video or sound, running out of sight. Starting at yet, the last has not brought about overheating. we gathered together probably the best workstations under Rs. 20,000 in India, and we discovered some fascinating highlights and abilities extending from modest structure components to even a PC with a 4G SIM opening. In this guide, we'll be raising the spending limit by Rs. 10,000 to perceive how much better we can do as far as execution and ease of use. With a spending limit of Rs. 30,000, we're focusing on a value go that numerous individuals see when grabbing their first PCs.

REVIEW STM TEMPAT AKU SEKOLAH DULU

Update review ya setelah review pertama 3 tahun yg lalu.

Hi, Aku alumni 2018, masuk smkanda 2015. Jurusan animasi 😊

Kalo boleh review jujur tentang sekolah ini ya, tanpa bermaksud menjelekkan atau menjatuhkan, sebenarnya aku punya banyak cerita dan pengalaman di sekolah yg luar biasa ini. Semoga bisa dijadikan sebagai bahan pertimbangan untuk teman2 yg mau mendaftar atau mendaftarkan saudara ke sekolah ini.

Smkanda sendiri sudah berdiri hampir 23 tahun dihitung dari review ini ditulis. Punya lahan yg luas banget dan punya banyak fasilitas yg lumayan lengkap. Mulai dari kantor guru, ruang kelas, kantin, musholla, perpustakaan, lab komputer, minimarket, bengkel mesin, gedung/ aula workshop, ada. Aku terkahir ke sini udah bagus banget. Udah ditambahin atap penyebrangan antar gedung, taman, kolam... Dan udah ada asrama juga. Untuk parkir sekarang udah bebas ga kayak dulu yg harus pasang sticker tanda punya SIM 😏

Untuk lab komputer, komputernya juga banyak. Ada headphone nya. Terakhir pake masih windows 7 🤭 Tersedia WiFi tapi only di sekitar kantor guru & ruang TU. Ohiya, SOP (sumbangan operasional pembangunan) jaman aku masih di sini sekitar 130k. Kalo sekarang ga tau ya. Tapi ada beasiswa juga kalo ga salah.

Smkanda sendiri punya 6 jurusan. Teknik kendaraan ringan, akuntansi, teknik gambar bangunan, teknik audio video, instalasi tenaga listrik, dan ANIMASI. tapi TKR yg jadi jurusan andalan di sini. Bisa menampung 4 kelas. Kalo sekarang sih gatau ya berapa kelas.

Seperti sekolah menengah atas pada umumnya, smkanda punya banyak kegiatan. Masuk jam 7 pagi & pulang jam 5 sore (tergantung jadwal setiap kelas) dengan 5 hari kerja, Senin - Jumat. Kegiatan tsb ada upacara hari Senin, upacara hari nasional, & Asmaul Husna (rutin setiap Jumat). kegiatan Pramuka di hari Jumat mulai pukul 13.00 & ekstrakulikuler lain setiap Sabtu.

Untuk ekstrakulikuler terupdate & masih aktif menurut info ada ekstrakulikuler tari, karawitan. Kalo Pramuka katanya udah engga aktif semenjak Corona 😏

Dan untuk peraturan di sini cukup ketat ya teman2. Potongan rambut harus rapi (model bros), gondrong/ semir dikit langsung cukur di tempat. Celana model pensil juga dilarang keras di sini, ketahuan ? Langsung disobek. Itu untuk siswa. Untuk siswi, Dilarang keras bermake-up, ketahuan? Langsung hapus tuh makeup. Rok cingkrang ? Dilarang keras. Pokoknya segala peraturan yang terkait penampilan akan ada razianya ya teman2. Jadi kalo ketahuan, pasrah aja. Namanya aja STM 😏

Peraturan lain juga demikian, tapi kadang ada yg sifatnya cuman ancaman, tapi kadang ada juga yg langsung eksekusi. Jadi kalo masih nekat ya silahkan 😊

Kalau untuk lingkungan sendiri, smkanda itu termasuk sekolah yg lingkungannya tergolong bersih dan asri (tampak luar) Kecuali toilet & kelasnya. Untuk toilet & kelas kalo aku boleh jujur ya emang bener2 kotor dan sampah ada di mana-mana, udah gitu bau. Ini sebenarnya tergantung murid ya, karena mayoritas pemakai kelas & toilet adalah murid sendiri. Emang se jorok itu mangkanya kesadaran masing-masing aja.

Ngomongin soal kantin. Smkanda punya lebih dari 3 kantin yg menu jajannya rata2 junk food semua 😏 tapi ga boong ya emang enak sih. Paling rekomendasi kantin Animasi, soalnya di situ ada menu sotonya. Sekarang sih gatau masih ada/engga.

Bahas soal guru 👨‍🏫 guru-guru di smkanda ini karakternya beda-beda. Guru yang paling ramah sampai paling judes ada. Guru yg kerjaannya marah2 sampe bikin mood murid jadi jelek? ada. Guru yg hari ini ngomong a besoknya jadi z ? ada. Guru yg dikit2 ceramah? ada. Guru yg 99% jam pelajaran isinya cuman cerita? Ada. Guru yg cara ngajarin muridnya enak ? Ada. Guru yg ngang ngeng ngong bikin ga paham sama pelajaran juga ada 😊 maap ya pak..buk.. ini review jujur.

Tapi boleh cerita ya. Aku ga recommen kalo temen2 punya masalah & pengen cerita trus bimbingan konseling di sini. Kenapa ? karena pelayanannya jelek alias minim solusi. Ngga sesuai yg diharapkan. Pernah waktu itu aku dibully sama temen sekelas sampe nge down tapi respon BK nya ngga worth it, nyebelin bgt. Smkanda kalau baca review ini tolong hire psikolog / guru BK yg kompeten ya..

Trus ada lagi. Satpam di sini galak & judes bgt, bikin ga nyaman. Entah sekarang masih aktif / engga, tapi yg pasti meninggalkan kesan jelek. Keluar jalur hijau dikit dibentak, jam 7 kurang 5 udah dorong2 gerbang bikin siswa panik, sering bgt nyuruh push up. Udah jadwalnya pulang lebih awal kadang satpam masih suka menahan murid yg kelasnya pulang lebih awal dari kelas lain, padahal udah nunjukin jadwal.

Yg paling jelek sih pas celana ku dirobek pas hari Jumat gara2 celana pensil. Padahal hari itu celanaku yg 1 nya masih basah. Ga dengerin dulu alesannya apa main gunting celana orang aja. Itu celana sebenarnya ga pensil, cuman karena aku pernah pinjemin celana itu ke temenku namanya si desong, itu celanaku malah dia bikin jadi pensil. Dah gitu, aku jadi tontonan kakak - Adek kelas ya teman2. Itu momen terburuk sepanjang sekolah di sini. Ga ada yg bisa dipinjem celana olahraganya. Akhirnya ditambal pake solasi dan itu masih kelihatan sobek2. Bayangin Seharian berasa kek orang gembel.

Ada lagi kesaksian Adek kelasku yg katanya pesen minuman di grabfood begitu minumannya Dateng malah drivernya diomelin satpam & itu minuman yg es nya masih keras harus diminum sampai habis Sama Adek kelasku dalam waktu 1 menit di Depan satpam. Masuk akal ga tuh ?. Aku ga tau aturan jelasnya gimana, ada aturan tertulisnya / engga, karena katanya kalo minuman dari luar ada sianidanya 😏🤭 tapi aku ngakak sih.

Lanjut review. Pelayanan foto copy & alat tulis di samping depan sekolah juga jelek banget. Gatau orangnya masih ada / engga, tapi yg pasti kalo masih ada ya keterlaluan. Udah judes, jutek, & ga ramah. Banyak bgt testimoni yg bilang dia suka nyetuh2 siswi yg ngeprint ke situ. Udah gitu mahal. Ga recommended.

Ohiya. Smkanda juga sering banget ada acara besar setiap tahunnya. Hari Kartini, acara perpisahan, agustusan, & classmeeting pasti pasang panggung. Keseringan pensi yg ditampilkan sih dangdut / band, organ tunggal, tari tradisional. Menurutku ngebosenin bgt. Ga ada pensi sejenis drama, dance modern, / DJ party. katanya sih udah sering diajukan tapi dari pihak guru yg menolak karena alasan yg konservatif / mungkin ga jelas. Intinya begitu.

Kesimpulan akhir ya teman2. Sekolah terbesar dengan fasilitas yg lumayan lengkap dan bertambah setiap tahunnya ini, not totally recommend karena beberapa kondisi yg kurang ramah tadi. Itu menurut aku yg udah pernah 3 tahun sekolah di sini. ⭐⭐⭐

Tapi Alhamdulillah nya aku belajar banyak di sekolah ini sampai aku dapet keterampilan baru yg berguna banget, yaitu skill editing. Yang paling asyik tentu program prakerinnya (prakerin - praktek kerja industri). Aku sendiri dapet tempat prakerin / magang di Jogja & Wonosobo. Iya. Prakerinnya 2 periode. Masing2nya 2 bulan lamanya. Yg di jogja ditempatkan & yg di Wonosobo cari sendiri. Keren ga tuh ?.

Terima kasih staff guru jurusan animasi. Btw kalo boleh jujur, guru animasi itu lebih friendly daripada guru mapel lain. Tapi ada kok guru mapel lain yg friendly juga 🥰

Pokoknya catatan ya teman-teman. Sekolah ini super strict. Perhatikan selalu berjalan di jalur hijau. Berpakaian rapi. Rambut harus rapi. Jangan datang terlambat. Kalau ketemu guru wajib menyapa. Dilarang ngecas karena bikin tagihan listrik membengkak.

Untuk kepoin Instagramnya bisa cek smkandazone. Di situ sumber informasi sekolah ya teman2.

Turtle Time

Turns out, we'd been spoiled for border crossings when entering Lesotho. Mozambique was much, MUCH more intense. After leaving the bush house, we headed south to Nelspruit to pick up Matt's passport with US visa contained (huzzah!), then west to the Komatipoort border between SA and Mozambique. As soon as we rolled up towards the South African portion of the border, we'd been marked: a guy standing outside the customs office spotted the Land Cruiser and our two white faces and started waving us towards a parking space - taking ownership of us like we were passengers on his paid tour of the border space. As soon as you leave the car, he's full of instructions - go here, bring this, you'll need that later. 

Despite our polite peristence that we didn't need any help, he was impossible to shake off - after leaving South African customs, literally running across the border no-man's land to the Mozambican side to meet us, attempting to steer us toward his preferred third-party insurance provider (a mandatory purchase for border crossing), filling out our forms for us, talking to the customs officials on our behalf. He's soon joined by other guys, following closely, offering you SIM cards and emergency triangles and vehicle stickers, who shuffle nearer and nearer no matter how many times you say you're not interested. As the female of our pair, I am of no consequence - everyone focuses on Matt, the man and clearly the decision-maker of our group. When all our papers are in order, we escape back into the car and leave our small crowd of new friends with Matt rolling up the window and still muttering "no....no thanks..."  in the faces of four or five disappointed guys as we drive off...

....only to spend 20 minutes waiting at a construction stop-go no more than 50 metres from the border.

We spend the night in Maputo, the country's capital, at a backpacker's called Fatima's Place in the middle of the city. Given the options to camp in our roof tent in their driveway for MT 700 per person or to get a bed in the dormitory for MT 800, we say to hell with camping. They've even got a bar and free wi-fi!   We go for a nighttime stroll around the city, hoping to make it to the beach (our backpacker's is only three blocks away), but we take a wrong turn and wander aimlessly for a while instead. Maputo is a weird mix of Eurasia and Africa: a former Portuguese colony, the country's official language is still Portuguese. But there's obviously been a lot of Communist influence: we spot a few Soviet-style boxy high-rise apartment blocks, and our hostel sits on the corner of Mao Zedong and Lenin Avenues. Significant amounts of money have obviously been invested in parts of the city: there are some beautiful mansions facing the coast, and the spacious ground floor of one building boasts a plaque commemorating its dedication as a restaurant in 2013 by the mayor of Maputo. It's tropical(ish) - there are palm trees and sand everywhere. But the sidewalks are mangled and broken; the mansion by the sea has never been finished and sits abandoned behind a construction curtain; the restaurant has closed down since 2013 and is empty. 

For example: a mansion on the coast, overlooking the ocean on one side and...an abandoned garage on the other.

Maputo feels like the kind of city whose magic opens up to you only after you stay for a while. But we've got a craving for the beach, so we head out the next day: south to Ponta d'Ouro, a tiny village in the far south eastern corner of the country. Asia's influence in Mozambique becomes evident - the road to Ponta used to be a sandy track, impossible to navigate when wet, making the 300-km journey take 5-6 hours to complete. All that has changed with the entrance of the Chinese, who have built a tarred road system the entire distance between the two cities that's so new our GPS doesn't recognize it. 

We fly through the journey in just 2.5 hours and arrive in the rain to our new home for the next week  - Gala Gala Eco Lodge, a deceptively large quasi-village with what must be 50 campsites and a handful of cabanas. After checking in, we head over to the beach to check out our REAL priority for the week: SCUBA DIVING!  

That's right. This week we are getting PADI certified. An open water course, which qualifies you to dive up to 18 metres, takes around 4 days to complete. It includes a theory section (lots of reading and quizzes), a pool day (attempting to control your buoyancy in water that's barely deep enough to dive in), and 4 sea dives, each of which test a variety of skills alongside your exploration of the reef of the day. These include recovering your regulator in case you somehow lose grip on your only air source...the tube that goes in your mouth; taking your mask off at the bottom of the ocean, putting it back on, and clearing it of seawater by blowing out your nose in case you have a death wish, or otherwise get your kicks out of doing stupid and scary things, etc. 

Thankfully the skills get less scary the more times you practice, and after 5-10 minutes of skills at the start of each dive you get the rest of the time to explore the reef. We don't have an underwater camera so this part will be left to your imagination, but DIVING IS AWESOME. We've seen pods of dolphins surfing massive waves amidst rainbows in the sea spray on our way out to the dive site, a stingray with a 5-foot wingspan swimming in and out of a cavern, a green turtle, a pufferfish chilling under an overhang, a (giant) potato bass guarding his reef, an octopus hiding in a hole, a few giant moray eels, and many more exoticities. Despite all my anxieties to the contrary, we have not once been attacked by a sea creature from below. 

We spend five days completing our course at a leisurely pace with Blue, our tremendously patient and talented scuba instructor, her boyfriend Tibo - also an instructor - and Alarda - another South African from Mpumalanga who's the only other student this week. Our lessons are interspersed with naps, lounges on the beach, and consuming vast quantities of peri-peri prawns. 

Also beaching. Lots of beaching.

We are one of approximately 5 tourists in town (it's low season), and so we are persistently followed around by guys selling things - from bracelets to bowls to backpacks to shoes. One man speaks to us for 20 minutes in the beach parking lot, showing off his handmade leather wares. When it becomes apparent that we've got tight wallets, he pulls out his trump card - "want to buy some weed? Good price, 100 rand a bag."

We did not support our local drug cartel, but Matt did buy a pair of board shorts branded with the logo of Deutsche M, one of the Mozambican beers. 

Alarda, Blue, Tibo and us all become fast friends and by the last night after our final dive, we're all having sunset drinks together on our favourite beach before going out to Lulu's (a local restaurant frequented by ACTUAL locals, a rare and difficult find) for peri-peri chicken. 

Blue forgets to take our photos for our PADI cards until we're saying our goodbyes, so she does it quickly on her phone. Our diving card photos will forever show us in the dark, in a parking lot in Ponta after a few beers, happier than ever that we're here.
