MEGANTARA: An Art, Literature, and Cultural Festival


  MEGANTARA, is a festival about art, literary, and culture that held by SMA Negeri 3 Bandung on September 10th 2016 at Lapangan Bali. The theme of this festival is the diversity of indonesian culture since Megantara itself means "Nusantara is a magnificent light".

Now I'm going to tell you guys how my experience attending Megantara. So since I wasn't one of the festival committee and as a first grade I had to participate in the morning parade while wearing a kebaya. We marched with a large group of children from kindergartens and they were really cute and it makes me want to pinch their cheeks. It was a difficult hour for me because i was struggling to walk in samping without tripping on something or embarrassing myself, but overall it was a fun time.

The event started at 11:30 so when the parade ended there's still much time to kill. I went to my friend house to change my clothes first. I went back to Lapangan Bali after dzuhur. When we got there I got separated from my friends. I was walking around alone like a lost child while my friends were busy being the committee and all, and at that time I regretted that I'm not a committee, sad right?
Then I saw many friend from junior high school and we started to catch up, honestly they were a lifesaver.
After that we were walking around while searching for food, but all of the food stand were crowded and the queue was full of people. We finally decided to buy grilled squid, but I thought it was too pricey for a food that was sold in the event that the majority of  the visitor was a student, and still I bought the food.
I spend my money ineffectively that day.

Several hours passed, the sky was dark and the venue was already full. Luckily we got to stand in front of the main stage because TST performed. The performance was amazing and meaningful, all of the audience watched it happily. The next performance was by The Changcuters and it was awesome! I couldn't resist the urge to jump along the song. They performed so many song, it was never-ending. And then the soreness of my legs and thirstiness beat me, I went to the back to buy a drink. Even from the back the crowd was wild, wild in a good way.

After that was a traditional dance performance. Finally it was what people are waiting for, RAN! The performance was really good and all, but there's a girl behind me and she keep screaming on top of her lungs that it hurts my ear, well actually all girls including me screamed but not that loud, no offense though hehe. When the performance end there's confetti burst out and the stage looks amazing.

There's no more performance after that, MEGANTARA has ended, with a major success of course.
 It was a long night and I had a blast, my body is sore but it was really worth it after all.

Story Telling

So today english lesson is story telling, and we made a group consisted by four or five person. I was in a group with Asyilla, Qori, Bayu, and Alif, and we have to tell each other a story. The story I told is The Sleeping Beauty. Actually I think almost all my groupmate knew this story from their childhood. Asyilla's story is about Jarvis, a security who patrol at night in Florence Nightingale's Hospital Museum who saw a ghost. Qori's story is the all-time classic, little red riding hood who met the big bad wolf in the way to her grandma's cottage. Bayu's story is about a greedy dog who thought that his reflection was another dog. Alif story is about Ramayana, the mighty Rahwana who kidnapped Shinta, and Rama the faithful man that saved her. After we heard all of the stories we have to decide what is the moral value of each story, and here's what I thought: The moral value of the story Little Red Riding Hood is that we must obey our parents and that we m

a cringeworthy confession from the deepest of my heart (compliment)

Hello! It's been so long since my last update, time flies so fast indeed. Well almost past the second half of the year, and there's many people who always helped me through the year, and things that made my day a lot brighter! And therefore I'm very thankful. The person that I really thankful for is my mom no doubt. Honestly she's truly the best mom ever, well the best person on earth actually, and I'm not exaggerating. She's the most patient and kindest. Well raising a daughter alone for years surely hard isn't it? And therefore I'm really grateful for her. It's kind of hard to put it all in words because I'm not someone who can express myself well. I don't know how many times I have to said it, but thank you, thank you, thank you very much! I know I can be 'quite a character' in a negative way sometimes, so you're the best for putting up with me, and I couldn't ask for a better mom than you! The second one is fo
