International Student's Day

                It was January 30, 2019, when the International Student’s Day was held. But before that day, we had informed by our coordinator, Kuya Mee Jay, that we would perform our cultural performance. Since this would be a great opportunity for us to introduce Indonesian’s culture in foreign country, we had well-prepared all of the things.

            Less than a week before the day, we discussed about what would we perform since we came from different provinces and of course with different cultures too. After having a long discussion, we decided to perform three kinds of Indonesian’s cultures, they were Pencak Silat, Bali Dance, and Indonesian regional songs (Manuk Dadali, Ampar-Ampar Pisang, and Suwe Ora Jamu). Pencak Silat would be performed by Evan, Bali Dance would be perfomed by Nova, and the rests would be performing the Indonesian regional songs. While Ali would be playing flute (suling) and Yeyen would be playing guitar. Me and Komang would be the Masters of Ceremony of our performance. At the end of the performance, we also had prepared a special performance for all of Filipinos. We would be singing a song from the Philippines with the title “Buwan”.

            I felt so nervous on that day eventhough I did not perform any performance with my friends. But I was afraid that the audience would not enjoy our performance. But it was not what I expected before. They all enjoyed our performance, especially when we sang Buwan song because it was one of hit songs in the Philippines. We sang together and invited some audience to join us singing. We were so happy to see their enthusiasm in welcoming our cultures and appreciating us as their new friends.
