On Monday, we received the exciting news that ENOKU would sponsor our trip to Petrosains. I’m thrilled about it. Afterward, I started browsing the Petrosains website to get an idea of what’s there, making my journey more enjoyable. “The best opportunities may come only once.”

Our journey began on August 30, 2023, at 10:30 AM. Alhamdulillah, I learned a lot during this trip.

OIL Platform, Also Known As “The Platform”:

I received an explanation from the volunteer on duty about what’s in the section called “The Platform.” It’s almost similar to what’s used and practiced on an oil rig. Safety is of utmost importance.

Speed Section:

Upon reaching the Speed Section, I spotted a machine that caught my interest—a Formula 1 car. I wanted to experience what it’s like to be in that vehicle. However, I felt tired and cramped since my feet couldn’t reach the pedals. I’m too short to drive such a vehicle. Nonetheless, thanks to Petrosains for giving me the opportunity to sit in and “drive” it, even though it was a dummy.

At 12:15 PM, we took a break at Mesra Cafe. The food options were limited, and the prices were high due to high demand. Unfortunately, it was the only cafe available in Petrosains.

Sustainability Gallery:

I’m passionate about the environment and farming. At Petrosains, I learned the Vertical Farming technique, which I now practice at home. I also joined the kids in coloring robots with crayons and scanning my robot using their QR Code scanner.

Geotime Diorama (Dinosaur):

There was one section that made me uncomfortable because I have a vivid imagination. I’m not fond of dinosaurs and the sounds they make. I quickly left that place.

Pssstt…… hold on, I have something to share.

Overall, I had a wonderful time, and this adventure provided me with valuable knowledge. Coincidentally, it was during the school holidays, so Petrosains was crowded. Parents should educate their children on how to use machines and equipment correctly and safely. We should foster a culture of “reading,” “understanding,” “immersing,” and “practicing.” Not everything needs to be touched and pressed, as some machines or equipment may be damaged and out of order due to repair time.

I want to express my special thanks to ENOKU, Lady Qadijah, Lady Sarah, Lady Lily, Ikram, and Mus for giving us this opportunity to explore and for their patience in organizing such a program.
