My Experience: Hearing Khidir Malik's Unforgettable Moment

Hello! It's nice to meet again, now I want to tell you all about my friend's unforgettable moment in his life, which is really astounding and make me amazed, he just told it to me about an hour ago. His name is Khidir Malik, he has an unforgettable moment that makes me really amazed, let me tell you!

It happen just three days ago, 24th September 2016, when he had his Piano competition at Grand Asrila Hotel. Actually, he already joined plenty of Piano Competition in his entire life, and this competition is not the first one he already had.

That time, he and his sister joined the piano competition and categorized as the senior category-I think he's already a professional piano player, you think so, right?- He told me, he got the third queue number, and his sister got the first queue number. He said, in an hour before his role, he don't get any vibrate of nervous or anything bad for him. But when it's his turn and he entered the stage; also he already sitting, in a second, his hands started to be really cold like a stone, also he's shivering so much when it comes to the audience's looks. To make himself quiet, he took a deep breath and started to play the piano with his own will.

His hands began to play itself; as he had learned. When it comes to the end of his turn, he stopped and quit the stage. He told me that he thought that he already did his best and it's perfect, there's just a little mistake that he sure that anyone didn't know it. When he's watching the other coimpetiter's performance, he saw these two candidates who's talented, he thought, that would be the winner. A girl wearing black dress and a boy who's  wearing white shirts.  He thought that the boy would be the first winner and the girl would get the second winner. He and his sister began to be pesimistic.

And there's the time when the judges announcing the winners, the fact is the boy got the third place, the girl got the second place, and Khidir got the first place! Suddenly, I'm feeling so fond of him, hahaha. I know the feel when you are the champion! Khidir deserve this for his hard works! Congratulations, Khidir!

So, guys, don't be so pesimistic because you wouldn't know the result, it's just the result of your hardworks!

Cheers!
Congratulations on your first place, Khidir!

Place that I really want to visit: N Seoul Tower

Hello! It's nice to meet again! How things going? Mine is going well, erm, not that well, but you can say it's pretty well. Now I want to tell you, ladies and gentleman, about place that I really want to visit, the place that I really longed to visit. I hope, one day I can visit the place.

N Seoul Tower

Rising up from the summit of Namsan Mountain is a beloved city landmark that has come to represent the city itself: N Seoul Tower. Since the completion of construction in 1975, the tower has been a favorite attraction for both locals and international visitors.

Built in 1969, and at a cost of approximately 2.5 million USD, the tower was opened to the public in 1980. Seoul Tower was completed on December 3, 1971, designed by architects at Jangjongryul though at the time the facility interior was not furnished. However, despite finalization of tower construction, the observatory was closed to the public until October 15, 1980. Since then, the tower has been a landmark of Seoul. Tower elevation ranges from 777 ft at the base to 1,574 ft above sea level. Seoul Tower had its name changed to N Seoul Tower in 2005 whereas the "N" stands for 'new', 'Namsan', and 'nature.' Approximately 15 billion KRW was spent in renovating and remodeling the tower. It has also been known as the Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower. It is also Korea's first general radio wave tower that holds transmissions antennas of KBS, MBC, SBS TV, FM, PBC, TBS, CBS, and BBS FM. Seoul Tower chosen to worldwide travel expert evaluation and reader preferences is registered the world's 500 attractions in research. [Source: Wikipedia]

Isn't it amazing? Namsan Tower is the place that I really really really want to visit in the future since I'm so addicted to Korea hehe. The Namsan Tower is placed on Namsan mountain so we have to take a cable car to reach Namsan tower. I know it through Korean reality/variety show called "The Return Of Superman" which is a show that tells about the dad who is suffering taking care his children without the mom. In that episode, Song Triplet (They named Song because of their dad's name, Song Il Gook), Daehan, Minguk and Manse goes to Namsan Tower by a cable car. By watching that, I know how beautiful is the beauty scenery of Seoul by taking a cable car. The adventure of Song triplet with their dad is sooo cute, I want to pinch their cheeks, lol.

The tourist attractions of Namsan tower is also the romantic atmosphere of the tower. Namsan Tower often used as the shooting place of Korean dramas/ shows, it also used to propose. Therefore, Namsan Tower has a terrace where you can placed love locks and you can see the beautiful scenery of it. Namsan Tower is also an unique place, because in one tower, there's lots of unique rooms with different atmosphere such as Alive Museum, Digital Observatory also Sky Restroom. In Alive Museum, there's so many optical illusions and you can take unique photo with it. Digital Observatory is a place where you can observe the panorama of Seoul. And also, Sky Restroom, is a place where you could see the scenery of Seoul through the window while using the restroom, the equipment of Sky Restroom is also really unique.

One day, I really want to visit Seoul, especially Namsan Tower. I'll buy the ticket to Seoul by my own money. I'll study at Seoul National University, which is one of the best world university to be  a neurosurgeon and working at Seoul Hospital for a while and have a lot of money!. While working on Seoul as a neurosurgeon, I'll go to Namsan Tower for relieving my stress and going there by myself because I enjoyed being with myself. I'll buy myself a cup of coffee, sitting on the edge of the window in Namsan Tower and listen to musics. That'll be perfectly fine!

Sincerely, Nanda Assyifa Apriliana.

Please be healthy this year!

Thanks!

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

My experience: Indonesia's Independence Day!

Hello!!! This is my next post, and I'll tell you about this special... historical events in Indonesia at 17th August 2016!!!

Well, actually, SMAN 3 Bandung celebrated the independence day too late, it's on 26th August 2016, one week after World Tournament X Techno festival -that's pretty late, right?- and the event was held in Lapangan Bali again!!! As usual, I'm forgot about this event too T-T It's already September!!! It's a common things if I forget it, right? (It's because I'm lazy haha) Maybe this post will be posted as long as I could because... I'm on a rush! -I'm using Wifi here hehe-

Well, this event almost feel the same with World Tournament X Techno Festival, it's about tournament, games, battles, fun things and wars. The different thing is, the enemies were different! Not seniors any more but also the first grade!!! Because they're same as us, in the almost-same-age, almost-same-spirits, almost-same-hopes, the battles felt more hot and challenging! We played almost of all is sports games, start from handball, tug of war and sponge-game that I can't spell with vocabulary/?.

About handball game, I didn't join it because I don't understand how to so I just watched many of my friends playing it with their enemies. I'm starting to go crazy over the game, I'm screamin- when the ball hit my friends, It was really fun and I was so catched with this game, my eyes were glued to the handball games because it's just too much fun, such a pity I don't understand how to play it.

And, next, the tradition game of Indonesia's independence day! the Tug Of War!!! And the more important thing was, I'm joining the game! It was really great, my team lost the first round but won in the second and third round! So we won the game! With full spirits of us we pull the hurting-rope so we won, my hands were so hot and red, it was hurt for a long time that I couldn't do anything with my hands, it's OK and I was really enjoying it! I want to do it again if I had any chances, haha.

The last one was the sponge-game. I didn't join for the first round because my hands were hurt, so I just stayed under the big tree with most of my friends, we talk many things about our homeworks, jobs, future and else. Those topics were fun to be talked about because we could discuss our future and what the others thought of it, they also could said so many things that could change our mind or maybe mindset. Chatting was a social needs for everyone, through this, we'll learn to be an open-minded and warm-hearted person. After the little talks, I decided to join the final round of the sponge-game because I'm bored that time. Well, I think the sponge-game was the most boring game for me because I'm just a goalkeeper T-T that's not fun.

And at the end of the event, we all gathered to the basketball field and watched the performance of TST, The teather club of SMAN 3. Their acting were good and full of comedy aspects. There was also a moral message behind it. And in the end, we're the second winner of this tournament!!! It feels like our efforts produced the best for us all.

That's all for this experience, thank for your time reading this!

My experience: World Turnament x Techno Festival

Hello! It's me again after a long time.

Well, going further away with this highschool, I feel really busy T-T. Homeworks, exams, tests, everything makes my brain dizzy -help me, God- well, that's what we call Highschool, right? New kind of homeworks, more kind of experience, blablabla. Anddd, now that's what I feel, exactly. Now, I want to tell you about my new experience, World Turnament x Techno Festival (YAYY) This experience kinda long time ago, I just write it now lol (I feel lazy now haha)

So, that day... The truth is I feel really lazy to go to school haha. Because what? Everyone is laying on their bed that Saturday... but I'm standing on lapangan bali... of course I don't really want to be there that time, haha -Forgive me T-T-

Well, that day I was standing on Lapangan Bali, felt the blue sky without clouds... and I was waiting for my time to get called. That time, I was wearing black and white shirt (My class already planed it) and white simple headscarf. Our faces was drawn like a cat...-I don't really like it haha-.

I'm a bit forget about the moments...

So, I'll just tell the things that I remember...

maybe a bit...?

The tournament was held only for first and second grade, maybe the third grade were on their really-busy-time? I don't know, ah! and this tournament was held on 20th August 2016. My first impression of this event is... not that good because the third grade didn't join this event... so this tournament felt like a childish tournament for me because only the youngsters who joined it... well, that's my opinion about the tournament. But then I followed the tournament easily, that tournament make me learned about teamworks, and how to beat enemies that is known stronget than you? /eh/

My class had a battle with our seniors, it's kind of easy with them, we always win over them, but when I look at the seniors my heart kinda feel something deep... They looked like they already lost their hopes since the early morning, like, they already lost their soul... like, what should I say? They had no spirit nor enthusiasm over these battles. I think they were tired over the lesson they already had at school, I can see it through their body moves T-T that's so sad... I think since my class still in our freshmen fase we're full of hopes and spirits. They kinda tell me without words, "Kids, we don't care about these battles, we have our homeworks haven't done in our homes, and exams, tests, maths-"

That's scary...

So, that day we're speaking english -I like speaking english!- But I didn't spoke that much... T-T we're adventuring outside schools, done so much fun games, I think that day we feel that we got more closer... I'm happy I got these friends, they're a moodmaker! But can also be a moodbreaker.../haha/

So that's all from me! See me at the next post!

/I want to do it now but got more and more homeworks to do...T-T/
