Teriyaki

Hello, welcome to my blog
Indonesian Independence day is on August 17th. We usually celebrate it with many competitions and contests, such as traditional costume contest, football competition (usually the participants wear funny costumes), water relay race; and the typical competitions such as balap karung, tarik tambang, panjat pinang,  and many more. Those competitions and contests usually held at schools, offices, or housing complex. It actually celebrated with parade on the street too.

In our school (SMAN 3 Bandung), the celebration of Indonesian Independence day this year named 'Teriyaki' (Tiga Merayakan Kemerdekaan Indonesia). This event--such as competitions and tournaments--held on August 27th 2016 (a bit late). The participants are the 10th grade students, and the committee are the 11th grader students. This event held on Bali Field from 07.30 a.m until 03.00 p.m.

After I took a bath, had breakfast, used sport uniform, and prepared everything, I left my house and went to Bali Field with my dad at 07.00 a.m. But I got traffic jam on the road, so I arrived at Bali Field a bit late, but nothing activity has begun.

When I have arrived at Bali Field, the 10th grade students were on the basket field. They form a line, based on their class. I looked for my classmate and joined them. After a few minutes, the event finally started. The head of the committee gave a welcome speech. After that, there was a little entertainment, such as stand up comedy. Grade 10 at SMA 3 Bandung consist of 12 classes. These classes divided into 3 groups for the game. Each group consists of 4 classes. My previous class (X MIPA 9) was on C group along with MIPA 3, MIPA 10, and IPS 2. After division of the groups, we started to race, based on our group. Our team started the game at soccer field, then we went to the hall, and finally we went to basket field.

On the soccer field, we played water sponge game. On this game, we had to displace a pail of water to other empty pail by using a sponge. The sponge was immersed to the water on a pail, and then group members brought this wet sponge to empty pail on  the other side, and then squeezed the sponge to release the water.

On the hall, we play throwing-ball-to-opponent game. On this game, each class send 6 students (3 girls and 3 boys). The rules is throwing ball to opponent team; then if a player hitted by the ball, the player had to move to their opponent area; and every player throw the ball until one team lose.

On the basketball court, we play tarik tambang. Each class send 10 students (5 girls and 5 boys). After the wistle blowed, each team pull the rope until one team pulled by the other team.

After the competition finished, we finally took a rest, prayed at Al-Kautsar Mosque, and ate our lunch. After that, the winner of this event announced. The event finally finished and we prayed as the closure. We finally could go home about at 3 p.m.
