Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena was held on 25th March 2017. Knowing this event is a sport kind, I preferred not joining anything. May be just sit and cheer for my class, expecting to win. Actually I had some sport records at junior high but I was too afraid to show on public.

Unfortunately, applying self to the game was an obligation. So I took a volunteer on traditional game, Gobak Sodor.

In reality, as the game started on 7.55, I didn’t play. My friends did, because they had an angklung practice at the afternoon. Gobak Sodor was the only game they could play. And the result, we win against the X science 9! Bara was the ace who succeeds on passing the last guard on the opponent’s team.

Gobak Sodor finished around 8.30 am. I and my friends took a break while searching for foods. Some of them hadn’t have breakfast so we went to Ayam Geprek. 

Next game was girl’s football. We were so lazy to go back, but we were pitied on our friends at Lapbal so that we went back.

I was forced to join football because we had limited player. I once remembered the time I used to love playing football at the ages of 10. May be I should try again? I stepped forward, going with my team against X science 2. They had so many supporters and friends who shouted and cheered them as the game began. Science 8 had also supporters, but I thought they were praying inside instead of shouted it out.

The result, my team won. I was so happy but felt bad to our opponent and so their fans. I shook one of their players as the game ends.

Next up is volleyball. I couldn’t play volley, I was bad. But again, I was forced. I ignored hard but Gaby and Bara dragged me to the field. Once I entered, I couldn’t go back because the game was really starting. I almost cried, afraid that I could ruin the team. But evidently, I could serve! I was very shocked. What did my hands do? I didn’t even know. I jumped down until my knees bend, squatting, covering my mouth with hands. This was not a dream!

And finally, my team won against X science 6. I was very delighted. The next game is dodgeball. I encouraged myself to volunteer, even though I didn’t know how to play. Our opponent was X science 2. They were so excited yet fiery, and they won.

Our last game today is a tug of war. This is our favourite. I didn’t play so I just sat and cheered them. Sometimes I shouted them nearby, to keep my class’ spirit. And yes, we won!

My first expectation of Dewa Athena was wrong. This event has to reserve 4 until 5 stars rating.

Holiday?

Everybody must be so excited facing a wonderful terms of holiday, and so do I. But what would I do to fulfill that gap? I had no idea. I didn't have any plan to go abroad nor another cities. I literally didn't want to spend my days with sleeping-eating-watching.

I've thought about studying, but that's too diligent which didn't suit me as well. How about crafting? Lately, I had made little statues from clay. It had been so interesting back then but I didn't have any moods to do that this weekends.

For a week, I did nothing valuable. It seemed my times were wasted just like that. I didn't even clean my room. What a mess I did.

I started to think hard, "What would I do in this holiday?" This free-time is hardly ever happens in my school so I should use this chance effectively. Then I decided to visit my uncle in Sukabumi. Finally, it really felt like a holiday. We went to evening street-market, I had a lot fun. We ate and share ice creams, meatballs, pisang ijo, seblak, drinks etc. My travel in Sukabumi last for a week, then I went Bandung for home.

I started to realize about the importance of studying on holiday, since I saw my friends were working hard doing summaries for several subjects. "I should do that too," I thought. 4th of January, I called Nadillah and Hirzi. They were studying during this holiday, specially Hirzi. So we decided to study together at ITB library.

We ought to meet up at 8am, but it just me who came on time. Poorly, I should study alone until Hirzi came at 9am. We went upstairs and started our works. He did Geography while I did Indonesian. I did brought my Ipad and headphone for refreshments:)

"I'm tired." complained Hirzi.
"I know just the right thing," I said, while took my refreshments.
"Dramas?" I asked. "Sure!"

We ended up our day at the library with K-Dramas. Unfortunately, Nadillah couldn't come due to the traffic matters.

Time for lunch, we went to Chingu Resto at Wastukencana. We would meet Nadillah there. Fortunately, she had booked us the table and was sitting there alone. We felt sorry but couldn't help to laugh. We ordered many things such as fried chicken, tteoppoki, pancakes, jjangmyeon, oreo milkshake, ramyun etc.
I couldn't mention them all 'cause we bought so much since we were starving like to death.

I walked through the corridor that connects with another likely restaurant. With Nadillah, we took a lot pictures and selfies because it was an unique environment which has designed like a small city in Korea. I got excited, very excited. I saw a wall of Song Joongki's human-like poster which attracted me so much.
We could request songs too. I liked this place!

We spent many hours here. We did Indonesian homework besides eating, and we really enjoyed our time.

So many things to tell, yet I thought this blog was long enough:) See you on my next post, bye!
