📣Speak Up, Millennials!❗


On 26th April 2019, My school, to be exact, Perwakilan Kelas SMAN 3 Bandung, held an event called Aspiration Day 2019 : The Millenials. This event was an event where you can speak up about your aspiration for school. There were no limit for your aspiration. This year's theme was about millennials.

Before we entered the school's hall for the event. We were welcomed by a great decorations. First off, we needed to sign the absent. Next, they gave us some sticky note. I chose the pink one! In the sticky note they wanted us to write about our aspiration. My aspiration that I wrote was that I want the school to add more collections of English Novel for the library. I love reading some English novel there. Next up there are photo booth.

After that we entered the hall. We sat on the ground. It started with some word from the MC. Then a word from our vice principals, Mr. Sapto and Mr. Rohmat. After that, the head committee also gave some word, it was my friend, Puspa. After the lot of words, we played some games. Then finally the talkshows started. It was from Dr. Keri Lestari. She talked about the freedom to speak up our aspiration in this Millennials age. There were also some talkshow from Dr. Dian accompanied by our principal Mrs. Yeni. 

Finally the talkshows ended. It was time for the entertainment. First performance was from MK3. It is one of our school's extracurricular, Musik Klasik 3. It is a music club. Next was Amigdala. They were so amazing. Their performance was lit. And that was the last performance. Finally the MC closed the event.

The event were great. It made us dare to speak out our aspiration. Hopefully the school will grant our aspiration. Love, Casey.

Tur Budaya 2019!

🌴Bali We Go!!🌴

In 17th March 2019, SMA Negeri 3 Bandung held a yearly event called Tur Budaya. We went to Bali in this event. We gathered at Husein Sastranegara Airport. My class was in 1st batch so we gathered there at 7 o'clock even tho our plane board at 10 o'clock. After waiting there, finally our plane took off. We arrived at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport at about 12 p.m. After our arrival we then went to our bus and had lunch there.

Our first destination of that day was Tanah Lot. It was a long way to go there. But since it was our first day and our first destination so we were all excited. We were accompanied by Mbok Komang as our tour guide. She was fun and kind. She talked about almost everything about Bali on the way to our destination. After that long journey lol, we finally arrived at Tanah Lot. We had a walk around the street there. They have a lot of unique shops and unique things to sell. Then we went to the beach. It was beautiful. We took a picture, also kinda played with the waves. After having enough joy we went back to the street and bought some drink. We went back to the bus.

My friends and I at Tanah Lot

Our next destination was Jimbaran Beach. This isn't your typical beach. You can have dinner there. And that was what we did. We went there to watch sunset and also had dinner there. The meal was amazing. You got a seafood platter with an absolute taste. But unfortunately it was raining. Hard. It was disappointing but still I got an amazing meal so whatever. I was so wet because of the rain and trust me, it was so cold. After having dinner we went to our hotel. It was Quest Hotel. The hotel was so comfy. After I took a bath, we had a long conversation and stayed up late. Then I slept preparing myself for tomorrow.

The next day after having our morning routine, we ate breakfast at the hotel. Not so good to be honest what we needed food! We then went to Tanjung Benoa. It is a beach where you can do water sport or even visiting Turtle Island. I have been there before so I decided not to go to Turtle Island again. I decided to do some water sport. We played what they called flying fish. Trust me we did fly. It was so fun. We also took some picture there. After all exhausted we ate lunch.

After having lunch we then went to Pandawa Beach. This beach is gorgeous. There are a lot of shop too. You can play canoe here but I decided not to. At Pandawa I just played with the waves and took some picture. The water were surprisingly light blue colored. After having enough fun, we went back to bus.

The next destination was Garuda Wisnu Kencana. No kidding the architecture was absolutely amazing. They have like 3 statues. 3 seriously giant statues. We had a whole student picture. I also took picture with student council. We rented bicycle there. It was so fun. I almost forgot how it feels to ride a bicycle until then. It was cheap in price but rich in joy. We weren't satisfied yet but the time was over. So we went back to bus to go to Devdan Show.
Bicycle race? I am down for that!

We arrived at Devdan Show. We waited abotut 20-30 minutes to get in. It was on theater. There were lot of tourist there. The show was about Indonesia's culture. I wont talk anymore further about the show because it will be a spoiler to you guys. But something that I will say is that it was priceless. After the show ended, we went back to the hotel and rest. Actually we stayed up late lol.



this one is legal so enjoy.

The next day, after the same morning routine and breakfast, we went to Tirta Empul. This is one of the Bali Temple. They said that this temple has a holy water. We needed to wear a traditional cloth to go in there. For girls also needed to tie their hair. We went in. We just had a look and took a picture. That place was so aesthetic. We also accidentally watch their traditional ceremony. We even took picture with netizens there. Then me and some of my friends went shopping for our family back in Bandung.

After that we went to a traditional village called Panglipuran. Before heading to Panglipuran, we went to Kintamani to have lunch. This was the best lunch we had when we were in Bali. It was all you can eat restaurant. After having lunch we headed to Panglipuran. Sadly, it was pouring hard again. But our adventurous spirit got us crazy. We went in with umbrella. It was fun walking in pouring rain. We even snapped some picture there. The village was so beautiful. I was I can go there again but with sunshine of course.

You will always be a lifesaver, umbrella.

After having a wet-fun day, we went back to hotel to prepare ourselves. For what? For a grand night! It was a gathering night for the students at the Nirmala Hotel's Ballroom. I was one of the committee, My job was being a stage manager. This gathering night had a theme about Bohemian. The night called : La Boheme. It was me who chose the name! The gathering was fun. We watched some performance and also playing game. It was fun! That night was unforgettable. We went back to hotel. This night we stayed up late until 3 a.m.
Bohemian Night~

The next day was our last day at Bali. We did the same morning routine then we headed to Kuta Beach. Because we were kinda sick of beach, we just took a slight look then went on a walk. We went to Deus store to buy some and went to some mall, Beachwalk. We ate yogurt because it was hot there. After that, we went to Krisna to buy some souvenir for our friends and family in Bandung. The next destination was Bedugul. This is one of my favorite place because the view was amazing. We took a lot of photos there. It was fun.

Bedugul~

After that we went back home. We went to the harbor to ship to Java Island. It was a long night. The next morning we stopped by the restaurant to take a bath and also breakfast. Then we went on the long journey again. We stopped again in Madura, and had lunch. Then we went to the Train Station. We waited long enough then finally got on the train. Another long journey we had. But this time it was fun because we played in the train. Also me and my gal wore sheets mask at night. It was fun.
Peek-a-boo


Finally in the morning we arrived in Bandung and went back home. I really enjoy the moment. It was so unforgettable and hopefully we can go there again. Thanks, Turbud2019!









Bakti Desa

🌾Live in Village?!🌿


Our school, SMAN 3 Bandung, held a program called 'Bakti Desa' anually. This program basically about us, students, living in some village and 'be the villager' there. This year's program is held in the Cibeureum Village.

It took us about 3 hours to reach the village by rented transportation. When we reached the village, they gathered us in the Village Hall to do the opening ceremony. After the (honestly boring) opening, they gave us food for lunch and we ate there. We also brought and collected our old books for the kids there.

After that, we left the hall and when to our foster home. We were guided by a middle-age woman and Mrs. Diden as our homeroom teacher. My foster home, along with 3 of my friends, is past the alley. The alley is really small. We found out that actually our foster house was the farthest from the our other classmates house. 

We finally arrived at our foster house. In front of our house there are a pool, and a small mosque. We entered the house then Mrs. Diden had a small talk with our foster mom, Mrs. Lis. We were so lucky to have Mrs. Lis as our foster mom, she was so caring. She also has 2 grandchild. They are Dzikra and Dzikri, they also called Babang and Kakak. After having a small conversation with Mrs. Lis, we went to some field to play football with some kids there. After that we also went to a hill in front of Village Hall. We climbed there and played a bit. It was raining so we ran back home and pray at the mosque in front of our house.After having a really fun day, we helped one of our friends there, Sintia, to do her homework.

After that, we went to Ms. Yusi's house, our friend's foster mother, and together there to discuss what we would do tomorrow because we remembered the work of our parents, housewives and drivers so we decided to find out what problems there were in Cibeureum Village this. Then go home to rest.

The next day, we did our morning routine such as pray, took a bath, and also had breakfast. After that we visit Ms. Yusi's house again. Actually we were there to discuss about where to go with our friends. We decided to go to Situ Cisanti with the rest of our classmate. 

We then went to Situ Cisanti using a pick up car. After we arrived, we played there, had a walk, taking picture, etc. We also eat together since our foster mom brought us food, so we did some kind of picnic there. After that we had a walk around again then went home by walking. Not really because my friends accidentally left me and Anais by went home with pick up car. So it was tiring for me and her because we walked about 2 or 3 km. 

After we arrived, we took bath then went to the hall to do some activities. It was a cultural activities. We needed to do 4 activities.  Because I am part of student council, I had to do my job to assist all of the students. It was so tiring because the students were all rebels duh. After all of the drama, we went back home.

In the evening, we shared some basic food to the villagers. After we finished that, we went to a mosque and prayed there. We also joined the kids to ngaji. After the lesson finished, we donated our preloved clothes to the children who attended the recitation. All clothes has run out after 45 minutes. We ensure that children take appropriate clothes and according to body size. Because it's too late, we go home. We didn't go straight to bed, we ate snacks and watched TV with our foster father.

The next day, we did our morning routine again. Then, because I am a part of student council, we had a task to do. It was distributing books we already collected in the first day to the schools around us. We had a lot stare given, after all we were from town. They thought we are different than them. But thats okay.

After we finished that, we gathered with our friends to discuss where to go. We finally decided to go to a river called Ciendog. We had a really long journey full of laugh, trip, and dirt lol. But it was worth it. We then played in the river. Then we went back home because it was already time to go home, to our real home.


After we took a bath, we then had an emotional farewell, yup lol I exaggerated it. But it was really sad): Mom (Mrs. Lis) even gave us a doll for souvenir for us to not forget her. Kaka even cried):

After that we went to Village Hall to wait for our transportation. We went back to Bandung at 2 pm with public transportation and arrived in 3 senior high school at 5 pm. It took a long time because of traffic.

Bakdes was really fun. I got a lot of moment to remember, also lot of experience. Hopefully I can go back there to visit Mom, Kaka, Babang, and many more. Bye for now, Cibereum.
