Gili Trawangan, a small but beautiful island

     Hi Bloggers!
     This time, I want to tell you about an amazing place called Gili Trawangan. Do you know where it is? Well, today I am going to tell you about that. Keep reading! ;)
     Gili Trawangan is an island. Gili means little island in Sasak languange. Sasak is a local languange in Lombok. So, Gili Trawangan is a little island that is located at the northwest side of Lombok island. It is an island with 3 km long and 2 km wide. It's population is about 1500 people.

     Actually, there are three Gilis at the northwest side of Lombok island. They are Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. But Gili Trawangan is the biggest island of Lombok's Gilis.
     If you want to go to Gili Trawangan, you can go there with a boat. You can choose, if you want to go with a wood boat or with a speed boat. There are 3 ways to go there. One, you can go with a boat from Bangsal. Two, you can go with a boat from Nare Bay. Three, you can go with a boat from Senggigi Beach. Well, you can choose whatever you want. It's up to you.
     When you arrived there, you will see a beautiful beach. It is so nature and amazing. The sand is very clean and the sea is very clear. There are some people who play banana boat, diving, snorkeling, play with some sands, or just enjoying the panorama. The best time to watch the panorama in the beach is when the sun set or when the sun rise. Trust me, it is so beautiful. It is a beautiful moment and if we capture the moment we will get a very beautiful picture.

     There are so many activities we can do in there. And, it isn't just a beach activities. You can also rent a bicycle and explore the island with it. Or if you are tired to ride it, you can also rent a cidomo to explore. Cidomo is a traditional cart from Lombok. It is a cart with 2 car's wheels and a horse in front of it. It is similiar with delman. You must remember that Gili Trawangan is a local island, and the local people in there, don't use some motor vehicle. So, there are no polution in there.
     If you want to spend the night in Gili Trawangan, there are some hotels in there. You can choose any hotel that you want. I suggest, it will be best if you choose a hotel that is near to the beach, so you can see the beach's panorama everytime you want from your room's window.
     Well, I think that enough for this time. I hope this information can help you if you are visiting the Lombok island. You can ask more question about Lombok island to me. I am from Lombok, remember? ;)

Megantara, a culture festival

     Hi again Bloggers!
     Are you waiting for my next post? XD Well, get ready because today I will tell you about a culture festival called MEGANTARA. Megantara is a culture festival that is held by SMAN 3 Bandung. It is held at Bali Field, on Saturday, September 10th 2016.
     On Saturday, September 10th 2016, I came to Bali Field at 7 AM. I had to come at 7 AM because there was a culture parade for SMAN 3 Bandung students. We wore a kebaya clothes. Kebaya is a local clothes of West Java. In this parade, we walked so far away. The parade started at 8 AM and ended at 10 AM. It was so funny and amazing. We yelled our yel-yel while we were walking. My feet got hurt but I was so happy. After the parade finished, I changed my kebaya clothes to a shirt. And then I went back to Bali Field.
     When I arrived in Bali Field, the festival had begun. I gave my ticket to the committee of Megantara. And then, I went inside. The decorate in Bali Field was so different and awesome. Bali Field was divided to a different areas. There were Java's area, Sumatera's area, Kalimantan's area, Sulawesi's area, and Papua's area. In Sumatera's area, there were Jam Gadang, Sate Padang, etc. In Java's area, there were Gamelan, Batik, etc. Well, each area had it's own special stand.

     The most important place in this culture festival was stage. The stage was so amazing. We could watch some performance in there. There were Bali traditional dance, Angklung performance by KPA SMAN 3 Bandung, some bands from SMAN 3 Bandung, Theatre by SMAN 3 Bandung, Music performance by ITB university students, traditional clothes fashion show by grade 10 students, and many more.

     Like the other festivals, Megantara also had some special guests. And the guests are........ The Changcuters and RAN! Yeah! The Changcuters performed first at 7 PM. They sang some rock n roll songs. I love their songs. Their songs made me feel energic and happy. I don't feel sleepy anymore, even though I felt so tired. And then, RAN performed last as a closing. They also sang some beautiful songs. I smiled when they sang their songs because the lyrics had a deep meaning. The Changcuters and RAN is a very talented singers. 
     Megantara finished at 10 PM. The closing were so cool! This culture festival is the best festival I've ever see. It makes me realized that we mustn't forget our own culture in this globalisation era. I will never forget this moment.
     Well, I think this is where my story end. So, thank you for reading this. I'll see you in my next post, okay? Don't miss it!

World Tournament x Techno Fest

     Hi Bloggers!
     Nice to see you again!
     Long time no see, right? I haven't post anything since 1 month ago. I'm so sorry. I have so many work to do and I just can't manage my time yet. Once again, I'm so sorry....
     Well, for my second post, I will tell you about one of my activities in SMAN 3 Bandung as a 10 grade student. On Saturday, August 20th 2016, OSIS of SMAN 3 Bandung hold a World Tournament and Techno Fest or WTTF. WTTF was a tournament between SMAN 3 Bandung grade 10 vs grade 11. So, my class, 10 MIPA 4, was fighting against 11 MIPA 4.
     The point of the games was to collect many puzzles. If we win, we will get a puzzle. And if we lose, grade 11 students will get it. After we finished all the games, all of the grade 10 students had to combine all the puzzle we got from the games and arranged it to be a certain picture.
     This tournament was so amazing. We didn't say any Indonesian words. We must talk with English. And I thought this was so cool because I could learn to speak English with my friends. Another thing that is made this game was so amazing was that we pretended to be an astronout and we had a planet called BB32019. The 11 grade students also had a planet called BB32018. The games hold in a different places and we had to walk to get in there. In the middle of the games, there will be an alien that is trying to steal our puzzles. An alien was one of the OSIS members that is wearing a raincoat. We had to throw a water balloons to the aliens. If we hit it, we will get some extra puzzles. But if the aliens hit us, we had to give our puzzles to them. So, can you imagine how amazing the tournament was? Well, do you want to know which grade is the winner? Which planet will win? 32019 or 32018? Let's read my story again.
     For the first game, my class went to Musik Park. We were having some quiz in there. But unfortunately, we lose. And then, we went to the Bali Field. We played some awesome games in there such as Flappy Bird, Quiz, and many more. We won all of the games in there and we got 3 puzzles. When we were about to go to the next games, there was an alien! We ran to catch it. We throw some water balloons at it. And we finally hit it! Yeah! We got some extra puzzles. Then, we went to the next games. The next games was in Photography Park. It was so far away. And we had to walk to get in there. But, we didn't give up. We had to fight for our planet, right? ;) In Photography Park, we got a puzzle. And then, we went to SMAN 3 Bandung. SMAN 3 Bandung was where we played our last games. After the games finished, we went to the Bali Field again and we joined all of the grade 10 students to combine the puzzles.
     We had to combine the puzzles properly. We only had fifteen minutes to combine it. The fastest grade is the winner. And the winner was.......... grade 10 students! Yeay! We won! This is the pictures of our arranged puzzles.

     This tournament ended at 4 o'clock. We came home with an amazing feeling. This tournament was so cool! I will never forget this moment. Although my body was tired, my mind was happy because I was having a wonderfull time with all of my classmates. If we are doing some jobs with our friends, no matter how many jobs we have, we won't get tired. You can prove it if you don't believe it.
     Well, thank you for reading my blog. I hope it's not boring.
     Bye, Bloggers!
     See you in my next post!
