My experience: MEGANTARA !!!

Hello!!! Welcome back to Nanda's blog!!! Now, I want to tell about my experience about Megantara, the historical festival of SMAN 3 and I could feel good vibrate about this!!! This gonna be a long story to write.

Megantara held at 10th September 2016 in Lapangan Bali (again) and this is a special date because, my really best best best friend were having a birthday that day... I'm so happy about this, she is my bestfriend when we're in Junior High School and I just... missed her so so so much that we always had an online chatting almost everyday, we're telling each other about what happens that day. She was so kind, pretty and tall like me. If I could, I want to say she's almost perfect, why? Because since I'm her friend, so many boys text me to tell me that they were in love with her. There are many times that I didn't like the situation but many times flew that I felt okay with that and now she's not in the same school as me, I feel really lost her. I just missed her so much haha. I invited her to join this event, I also invited my other bestie to come, they agreed so I bought the ticket for them.

That morning, when the day that megantara held, me, as a student of SMAN 3 had to go to Lapangan Bali early for Megantara parade. I was wearing a traditional sundanese suits, kebaya. Me and the large group of students and committee starts to walk around to run the parade cerishly, we started to sing several children’ song with the little children that joined us. It took about an hour to run the parade and my leg were pretty sore especially when wearing kebaya that was making it hard for me to walk nor run. Then, I rushed to find my phone and text my best friend that I longed to see. In the end, I decided to call her with my phone and she said she's already at Taman Musik. When I know it, I was smiling myself and I rushed to go there. When I met her, we were screaming happily and hug each other. After that, I changed my clothes and went to the area with her.

We went to the front of the venue and confused how should we do, the problem is, we should wait for our friends to get in there, so we waited them and pray zuhur in the mosque till they already got in there. After some minutes, one of our friend already got there, so we, three of us, decided to go in while waiting the other friends arrived. When we got in, the security examination was really looked like I was going on plane immigration trip. Our body and bags was detail checked.

Inside the venue, the bazaar was really unique, the food trucks or tents stayed based on where's the food/drink came from. There's Jawa, Sulawesi, Sumatera, Papua, and Kalimantan areas, the feels when I came in was really Indonesia things, Megantara was cool. When we came in, the venue haven't been really full and the stage didn't show much so we did nothing and confused what to do. Several hour passed and my other friends were already there, so there's six of us and times almost night, we're chatting happily and told each others experience in their higschools. My bestfriend couldn't stay longer at the venue because her parents didn't allow her to come home late. With a heavy heart I let her home and before that, we hug each other again, she even started crying because, yeah, we will miss each other soon after that. In the end, there's five of us to join Megantara until the night came.

The sky changed to black, it's already night and that's what we waited for, the night performance! The venue started really full and luckly we got in the front so we could watch it clearly. The meaningful perfomance for me was TST performance, The Changcuters and RAN. During TST performance, I watched it happily with the other audiences, the performance was really good that I was really glued to it, not only lauging, there's also a moral message behind it, it's really meaningful. Next was The Changcuters performance and the stage became really boiled up. Actually, The Changcuters performance made me really tired after a jump full of spirits and my legs feel really sore. I couldn't stand this, so I felt really tired and even whined to my friend that I want to just sit but she didn't want me to. I felt really annoyed by the never-ending-performance, the song always connected and never end that I felt so pissed, I really want to sit T-T, that was the worst moment in Megantara, I'm really tired.

After that never-ending-performance finally end, there's RAN filled the stage, they brought me a calm vibrate that made me relaxed -so I'm not whinning again- their song was slow; which was my favorite song when I'm sad. It's night, plus, a live slow song, that's so perfect... It reminded me to sad things that I wanted to cry in that place. I don't know why but I thought I'm a potato that time and I want to cry T-T (coward lol) I tried to cry but it didn't come out so... yeah, nevermind. I'm not a type of girl who cried in front of the public, I liked it more in my room, alone, that's perfect, haha. After that performance, the confetti burst out and it felt really amazing... I had never been like that before, even in my birthdays. From that day I know how it felt to be an artist or actors there in their stage... they must be feel really blessed on the stage. I want to feel it more T-T

Megantara ended successly, I went home with my friend's car. Bad luck, maybe? In front of the house and I was knocking the gate, no one opened it for me T-T It's already almost 12 p.m. and I'm wandering around and find a still opened small store, I borrow a charger to charge my phone and called Mr. Yana who own my home keys too, so he came to my place and helped me open up my house. Evidently people in the house was already slept... Okay, that's allright.

Soo that's my experience and little chit-chat, thanks and wait for Nanda's next experience!

BYEEE
