The Sundanese Festival : Matswapati

27th September 2014, the Matswapati Fest is held. It's a Festival from SMAN 3 Bandung. The festival itself is to celebrate the Anniversary of the city of Bandung, it's 204th years anniversary man, damn! so yeah the festive is also held to preserve the sundanese culture, the mother of Bandung culture. I'm a sundanese too by the way :p

Okay, the fest actually opened for public @ 9 am, but me and my classmates was joining the Culture Parade  @ 7 am. It was a long walk tho, but it feel awesome. At 9 am the Mayor of Bandung city, Ridwan Kamil was there to open the Matswapati Festive officially, yeah man Officially. I really respect the mayor, he was there and participating the fest.

The fest is on and of course, i was going to the "Jajanan Street" or we can say it the Food Street. It was a sunny bright day, so i brought some cold Fresh drinks. Refreshing the day yeah. Oh, @ 10 am my friends was painting some banner for our stand.

Makin' Banner, with GOLD Poster Paint

Did i tell you that my class have it's own stand? Well our class have a stand named "Arjuna". Arjuna itself is a knight that love to wandering, meditating, willing to help the others, smart and humble person. What a nice theme for our stand.

Our Stand, yay!

The stand was intend to teach us organizing something, the stand is the beginning. By the way, our stand was holding a "Puzzle Games". It was a really challenging, mind-blowing puzzle.

The Puzzles

@ 11 am to 7 pm is the show really started. There was some performance by our extracurricular, The Tiloe's Theather (our Thather extracurricular) and Kelompok Pecinta Angklung (KPA/ Our Angklung Extracurricular) and some guest star like OSD (Sundanese Parody/Comedian group), Samba Samba Junior, Saung angklung Udjo, Indonesian Bamboo community (still angklung performance tho, not a real bamboo lover :p) and the Main star, Barsena & KV. For the Grand Finale, Matswapati invited Glenn Fredly, wow. 9 hour of Great performance. By the way, if you wondering "what is angklung?" angklung is a traditional sundanese music instrumental, with the main materials is a bamboo. Ok back to the topic. it was a great show but unfortunately i missed the Indonesian bamboo community and Barsena & KV performance. But i was happy i can still watch the Grand finale, Glenn Fredly.

OSD Group, bringing laugh to us all

My Self

 Hi mates I’m Muhammad Faris Aslamahadi. Born in Bandung at 24 December 1998.  I live in Haji Alpi street no. 69. My father works as a Saler for Nia Fahira boutique, and of course, my mother as the designer. I was the first child of 2 brothers. I have 1 little brother. He’s age is 3 years old. So yeah 13 year differences.

          Now, I’m studying in 3 Bandung Senior High School in West Java. I have a lot friend there, from the “Master-of-Everything” to “Crazy-Everyday” friend. Sure they’re have a lot unique things in their head. That’s why I feel happy to study here. I really have a lot of hobbies, such as playing games, computer stuff, listening or maybe make music, playing basketball and driving cars. Well for driving cars I’m still doing it in games, but when I have my driving license, I would like to drive a real one. Hmm ‘bout my nature, well I’m a humorous person, really like comedy and jokes, sometime I can’t control my laugh. In my live. And my dream is to be an Computer Specialist or maybe we can call it an IT Master. Well I want it because I really love computing, it just like my half soul. Because of that, I want to enter the ITB or Institute Technology of  Bandung. Or maybe, the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Hopefully I can enter both of it.

Okay next one is my favorite of everything, my favorite cartoon Is SpongeBob Squarepants, well strangely it still funny till now, and my inspirational character is Patrick Star. Why? Because he’s always happy, even if he don’t have any money and live in a rock, literally. Next my favorite colour is blue, especially sky blue, it represent freedom, just like my personality. Oh and about music, I love classic ol’ but gold slow rock, catchy EDM music, and Japanese music, especially from vocaloid Hatsune Miku. My favorite food is pizza, rendang, burger, tofu and tempe. Well basically I like everything in terms of food, but of course the healthy one is the priority . That’s all for now mate, if you want to know more, just ask me, I will happily answer your question.
