Lost in the Gɑthɑpʀɑʏɑ ✿

HEYA sup guys!!
Welcome to my another blog! (yay)
This time, I'm gonna tell you about my experiences attending my school's event,

GATHAPRAYA: Literaty and Cultural Art Festival

If you live in Bandung, you've probably ever heard about this festival, because this event is really big and kind of popular *ahem. This is a culture festival, organized fully by my school, SMAN 3 Bandung. So I, as one of the students of SMAN 3 Bandung, should attend the festival. It's totally a must to pay for the ticket lol. Well, even if I weren't a student of SMAN 3, I'd probably still go.

To be honest, this was the first cultural festival I had ever attended. It was kind of an exhausting yet so worth it day. Oh, have you ever gone to a cultural festival before? If you haven't, well you should! Why? Read my blog entirely and you'll know why :p

The festival took place on Lapangan Bali, and it was held on Sunday, 30 September 2017. There are some events before the open gate of Gathapraya, such as a parade and fashion show. The parade, we have to walk together from Saparua Park until Lapangan Bali with some Gathapraya banners to attract people to attend Gathapraya. For the fashion show, it's only for grade X. Every class of grade X were ordered to choose two representations of their class, a boy and a girl, to do a fashion show competition. My class, X MIPA 2 chose Karin and Nicolas as the participants of the fashion show. They actually didn't want to do it, but the whole class chose them so what can they do? lol.

Because they actually didn't want to do it, they were kind of ignorant toward the fashion show. They didn't want to care about the clothes or anything at all related to the fashion show. Especially Nicolas. He was being really ignorant istg, I personally thought, it was annoying.

In the Sunday night, or the night on Saturday, H-1 Gathapraya, we still had no clothes for Nico and Karin. Because I did a shameless mistake that I can't mention here, I felt guilty and I thought that I had to do anything in order to make them do the fashion show. At first, we tried to search a place we could rent an Indonesian traditional clothes from which I finally found it, its name was Jawijawi, and made an appointment with the owner at 5.30 a.m.

So I told the two of them and they agreed. Karin wanted me to accompany her since it'd be awkward if it was just the two of them alone. I agreed, she'd come to my house first and we'd go to Jawijawi by car.

4.00 a.m. I woke up and did some activities. I finished right at 5.00 then waited for Karin about 15 minutes, then we went to Jawijawi. To my surprise, Nico had already at the place before us, to think that he was really lazy with the fashion show, it was a miracle that he arrived earlier. Anyway, they put on the clothes and the accessories there. We finished at around 7.30, and went to Saparua Park afterwards. We were a bit late, around 10 minutes late because it was a bit far and, not to mention, the traffic jam.

We did the parade lazily. Karin and Nico were riding horses during the parade. Karin's face was calm although her horse was weird, it looked like it was a drunk horse lol.

So we finally arrived on Lapangan Bali and we literally sat anywhere. We also met our classmates, they stayed up in the night for the sake of Gathapraya, they were the committees.

Karin and Nico did a good job in the fashion show, but our class didn't win though.

Anyway after that we ate some food and snacks until around 19.00, oh right. There were many interesting food stalls and some food trucks, some interesting spots about Indonesian culture, like gerabah and gamelan spots.

The 'main' attraction probably started around 8 p.m. That time was the time for the well-known artists and bands to perform. They are Elephant Kind, HiVi!, and NIDJI. HiVi! was the artist I looked forward so much, and yes. They performed perfectly!

The last performance was from NIDJI and I'm not gonna lie, the lighting was really breathtaking. Seriously, I was so amazed only by the lighting. The committees really did a great job!

The festival finally ended at around 11.30 p.m. It was really an exhausting day, yet a worth it and an unforgettable day.

So..., do you finally understand how memorable a culture festival can be? Well actually it depends on yourself too. If you don't like crowds, then you might not like this, but I think it's not really good to just stay at home doing nothing? Buuut, again it depends on your character and personality.

Soo guyss, I think that's all from me, see you in my other blogs.
Adios!

Universal Studios Japan - Be There or Be Square

Hulla! It's me.
Welcome to my blog once again.
So I had a work with my friend, Karin Hanasyanila Salma (check out her blogs: karinhanasyanilasalma.blogspot.co.id), to tell you guys about a place that we want to share. We will tell you about Universal Studios Japan!

Universal Studios Japan is an amusement park that located in Osaka, Japan. It is one of the four Universal Studios in the world. Over 11 million guests visited the park and making it the world fastest amusement park to have achieved the 10 million milestone at the time. It's really amazing. After we searched on the internet, we're really attracted by the rides in the park. Especially there is a famous attraction in the park called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter."

Imma buy eggs because I'm eggscited to tell you guys about that. Lmao dad joke.

By the way, we also made a drawing about Universal Studios Japan. I don't know if its good or not, you can see it yourself. And we also shot a video of ourselves describing this place. It's about 5 minutes, so it won't take too long.

Thanks for reading this blog once again, see you in my next one! Arigatō and Sayōnara~

Lost My Way

Hello! This blog will tell you about my experience that I would never forget. I know this is going to be boring and cliche, but I hope you enjoy this. Haha.

It happened back then when I was 7 years old. That time, I still remember that I wanted to have a cashier-machine-toy. Yeah, I wanted to be a cashier, mostly because of the machine that made “pip...pip...pip” sounds everytime a product’s barcode past the red light, as known as the censor. Then the machine will print the bill automatically. I was sooo interested with that that I wanted to have one.

And I saw that toy at a certain mall when my mom wanted to buy shoes for me. I seriously couldn’t take my eyes off of that toy. Then, I walked to that toy stall slowly. I entered the stall and I played with the toy for a moment before I suddenly realized I had separated from my family. I panicked a lot and started crying. I couldn’t believe I could be this clumsy. I cried while thinking about scary things that could possibly happen. I’m not sure about what I was thinking, but maybe I was thinking about what if a stranger would suddenly come at me and kidnap me? What would I do if that happens? Seriously, I was still young but my mind are kind of wild. I couldn’t stop thinking about scary things lol.

Then a security man came at me, “What’s wrong, child? Where’s your parents? Did you get lost?” he said. I could only nod and kept crying while screaming , “MAMAAAA....” then he took me to the information center. The lady there asked my mom's name. I answered, and waited for about 5 minutes. I was so scared, anxious, and sad in that 5 minutes. After that, I saw my mom and she looked so bright lol. I was so sad but I was so happy and glad. She held me then carried me in her arms. I cried even more. I was so glad yet suuper sad. I was really grateful that the security man approached me and asked what happened and he took me to the information center. I was so grateful that the lady at the information center helped me. And most importantly, I was extremely grateful nobody wanted to kidnap me (lol) and I could come back to my family. To my home. :)

YAH. That's iit thank you for reading~ Bye!

Conversation (Assignment on 10.8.2017)

This is the first day of school. Ren and Yoon Ji are put in the same class and met each other for the first time in a certain international school in Indonesia. It's 6.00 AM but the class starts at 7.00 AM.

Ren: Umm.. Hello, I'm Shishio Ren, what's your name?

Yoon Ji: Oh, hi, Shishio. You're so early. I'm Min Yoon Ji. You can call me Yoon Ji. It's nice to meet you.

Ren: Okay then, Yoon Ji. Nice to meet you too, and call me Ren. Also, you're early too

Yoon Ji: Hehe, thanks Ren, umm, how old are you?

Ren: I'm 15. What about you?

Yoon Ji: I'm 15 too! Anyway, where do you come from?

Ren: I came from Japan. I just moved to Jakarta last year because I have a cousin that lives here and I'm interested with Indonesia. What about you?

Yoon Ji: Whoa... I'm from South Korea. I've been in Indonesia for 2 years now because of my dad's job. What makes you interested in Indonesia if I may ask?

Ren: I personally think the culture in Indonesia is really unique and awesome. I really enjoy watching Wayang shows even though I don't understand what the dalang is talking about, really! Oh, I also like listening to the traditional music plays here like Angklung it's fantastic!

Yoon Ji: I know right!! I've been falling in love with Angklung since the first time I listened to it. How about temple? Have you gone to a Borobudur or Prambanan temple? Those two are the most popular ones I think.

Ren: I haven't, but I've done quite a lot research for those temples and it's pretty interesting! I'll go there on the next holiday.

Yoon Ji: You should! For me, I like Indonesian's traditional dance so much! The thing is, I like dancing and in South Korea there are so many idols or group bands that dance with pop musics, but to me, Indonesian's traditional dance is more expressive and is very beautiful.

Ren: I'm not really into dances, because I can't dance ahaha, but maybe I'll check out some later.

Yoon Ji: Yes. Oh! The teacher is coming. It was nice to talk to you, Ren. My seat is 2 rows beside you. See you later.

Ren: Yeah, it's nice to talk to you too, Yoon Ji! And see you at the break time.

It's All About Me

It's All About Me

Hi there! I want to introduce myself. My name is Fawwazti Rasendria. People usually call me Asti. I was born in Bekasi, 15 January 2003. I'm now fourteen years old. I'm a freshmen in Senior High School 3 Bandung. I want to tell you more about me in this blog.

I have a short hair but you won't see that because I wear hijab, I'm kind of short, my height is only 153 cm. My shoe size is 37. I have dark brown eyes. I have asymmetry eyebrows since I was born. 

I have some hobbies that I usually do if I'm bored, they're singing, drawing, listening to the music, or reading comics or novels. I like singing and I sing a lot at my home but don't ever expect that I have a beautiful voice. I like drawing a person with Japanese animation style because of Japanese animation, which often called as Anime, I started to like drawing. I also like listening to the music and my favorite genre of music is pop and hip hop. I like reading comics, especially fantasy, comedy, or romance comics, and reading thriller or romance novel. Also, I usually swim every week.

I have an elder sister and a younger brother. I love them so much. My sister's nickname is Riris and my brother's is Bima. My sister is currently studying at Institut Teknologi Bandung and my brother is studying at SMPN 22 Bandung.

My interest is to learn some new languages. I want to learn Japanese and Arabic but currently I'm studying Germany. My favorite lesson is Math, Biology, and English.

I am an awkward person at first but as soon as you know me, I'm different. My friends from junior high often tell me that I'm hyperactive, too kind, crybaby, but sometimes I'm a happy virus.

I think that's all for me, bye!
