Entry 1: About Myself

My name is Santika Devi Permata, feel free to call me Tika or Santika. But I 'd prefer to not be adressed as Santi, because i don't quite fancy the title.

I'm 14 and becoming 15 September this year. I sit at first grade in senior highschool.

Previously, I studied in SMPN 1 Bandung. Subsequently continuing my study in SMAN 3 Bandung for the next three years from now.

My hobbies are inconstantly often, usually i give myself a freedom to go without any restrictions such as doing stuffs with structured schedules. Sometimes I draw, read, sing, or just do whatever i feel like doing at the moment.

I love books! Even though I read in a staccato pace but I suppose I am quite an avid reader. My favorite books are The Prophet, Beyond Good and Evil, and almost all of Andrea Hirata's works.

I also really like doing arts. There's a limit to the amount of things one can express through the tongue, but the amount of ideas you can convey through art is infinite. I think the underlying motive of an art is not to describe oneself.

I consider myself as introverted, not a type to approach. But if you'd kindly converse with me i'd definitely respond with my utmost effort.

If i somewhat don't respond to your calls, chances are i don't see you because I am terribly short-sighted. Even though, you'll catch me often without my glasses. This act corresponds to my favorite saying which is "To percieve is to suffer" said by Aristotle.

I guess that's all on what I can tell about myself. I'll catch you again in later period!

Journal: We Won WTTF

Yesterday, Saturday 20th, we were participating in an event called WTTF (World Tournament and Techno Fest). At 6.30, we gathered in Bali Field and filled in our absence list. After that we got assigned a map, missions list, and two seniors to assist us throughout the event. We were ordered to oppose a senior class, XI 8. Each location was represented with riddles in which needed to be solved. Each station has a planet name. We went on our feet to Taman Tongkeng to clear the first task.

The first task was making a robot doll only from a cardboard box and an empty water bottle with limited tools in five minutes. We barely made it, but at last we were the winners.

And then, we moved to Taman Foto for the next mission. We played Twister. Actually, Daffa and Wildan played it. We lost to the opposing team because we made a mistake in the progress.

Next, we came back to school and gathered in the corridor. We go inside a class to watch a short clip about robots and answered a certain question.

We walked to a field nearby the New Hall and played Human Chain. I got to be a part of it. It was enterntaining.

And then, there was an eating contest. We were assigned to finish a meal consisting of spicy noodles as quickly as possible. Sylva and Rivan got to represent our team. Unfortunately we lost.

Moving on, we came back inside a class to play Tekken with consoles. I didn't quite recall whoever played it, but there were four rounds and we won all of them. The ambience was quite chaotic.

We walked to Taman Musik to play the next game. It was a quiz, and the 2nd winner got to be the actual winner. We were the first so we lost the game.

Next mission was playing a commonly known game called Flappy Bird. Those who get the highest score got to be the winner. We won.

And the last mission was playing Queens. I didn't remember the exact name of the game, but the point was the Queen needed to snatch the other team's Queen's scarf. Who won the game? I wasn't paying attention that much because I was busy complaining about the weather. It was hot and humid and just practically uncomfortable. I was starting to feel like going home.

At the end of the day the winners were announced. I was honestly surprised our class won! The whole event was fun, a great way to spend my time. Event though i didn't participate much in it, i was truly entertained. I hope that things will get more and more fun in the future.
