At 11 am I arrived at venue with my mom by ride motorcycle. It was very hot and sunny it make us thirsty, so we came to food area (basketball field). We bought a cup of cendol (traditional drinks of Bandung/West Java, sweet taste mixed with extract of suji leaf jelly) very delicious! because it's very tasty when we drink during a hot day.

Then we visited the main venue (football field), we can see there is so many stand who sell traditional arts and games of Jawa Barat cultures. Very interesting right? :)

Do not miss my class have own stand that have themed Arjuna, we sell postcard, arrows exercise (arjuna mascot carries the arrows right?) and brain teasers/iq games.

(I took a photo with my mom in front of my class stand)

Then I saw a show of calung (traditional music instrument of West Java) those people are not play in the stage, but in the field while walking around.

Then a show of benjang (traditional martial arts of West Java)

I took a screenshot from video if that video it's not too clear to see :)

After take a look around, we had to pray dzuhur in Al- Kaustar Mosque at Jalan Sumbawa and cameback to the venue and watched MK, (not mahkamah konstitusi =)) but Musik Klasik is an extra curricular in 3 shs it's about classic music and it's gonna be my extracurricular, it has 3 section such as : guitar, drum, violin and bass. That's cool right? ;) )

And I still have the video of them if you want to hear how cool they are!

Around 1 pm I can go outside to ate lunch with mom, I decided not ate in food area because there is no food that we wanted, so we went to Nasi Bakar 15 at Jalan Cimandiri.

Then we came back to the venue, I was so curious why the gate is being a little bit crowded when we came back to the venue. Besides the weather it's not too hot while afternoon, after it I immediately watched cepot show from Wayang Golek Giriharja, the show is very exclaimed. The controller of puppets said silly word in sundanese. I was laughing because the puppets acted so silly.

And I record a little bit part of all the funniest part =))

After watched cepot show, I had ashr pray then came back to the field, I was astonished because there's so many people here, now we are waited for the guest star, but before it we were watched Indonesia Bamboo Community and KV (kelompok vokal 3 of shs)

While waited the guest star I took a selfie with my friends to kept the mood haha =))

there so many people came to this venue, it's means this event is success!

Finally one of the guest star came, he is Barsena. We were very happy to hear he sang a song, because his voice is very amazing, we dazzled with his show, he also sing with KV 2015.

(Barsena sang with a band called Panorama)

(And he also sang with KV 2015)

After Barsena show we had a maghrib pray, then the real guest star came to Matswapati stage, yeah it's Glenn Fredly. We screamed when he reveal themselves to us, then we sang together until 8pm.

There was the one that make me eyed-dazzled, that's the saxophone player, he is very expert to play that instrument. It's remind me with a legendary saxophone player, Kenny G is my idol, I love all his songs.

And this is another cool video !

At the end I took selfie with my classmate, what a great moment. Thank god I had a great day, that why I named my post "A Great Day Of Matswapati" :)))))))))).
