This week's CAS

This Monday, I had the last basketball competition. We won against the SPH B team from Karawaci! I had fun playing because at least I had the chance to play. It was pretty tiring and I also felt dizzy after the game because I've been sprinting the whole time without warming up much. 

This Tuesday, there were no basketball practice, and I also couldn't join the archery club because I had an art project due the next day. I had to rush because I haven't started anything yet because I was away for almost a week! (CB camp and basketball tournament) So I had to focus on my art project.

On Thursday, I was supposed to have basketball practice, however, the gym was occupied because there was a match for the MYP girls basketball team. So I did my own fitness program. I jogged around the swimming pool with the boys basketball team outside so that my stamina wouldn't go down. I also did archery for around 15 minutes. The result wasn't good because I haven't been practicing for few weeks (because I was joining the basketball practice for the SPH cup).

During lunch on Friday, Sam and I brought Joo Eun and Sakura to teach them our dance movements (the one that we made before the CB camp) Later on after school,I ran around the swimming pool for two laps and did sit ups, back ups, push ups and so much more to train myself and to keep my stamina while waiting my sisters playing soccer. I also met my friend Sherwood, so I invited him to come and we did so much crazy activities (for exercising) such as pretending doing yoga, playing slow motion kung-fu, practicing cartwheel, the robotic dance, mission impossible and so on. After doing these activities I felt very tired, all sweaty but I felt healthy.

Back from CB camp ----> Basket ball SPH cup

Finally,,, I'm back from three days of CB camp... This is what I did since after CB camp:

Friday - Left Via Renata early at around 1pm. Arrive at SPH Karawaci. Hang out for few hours. Played at 6 o'clock against IPEKA Tomang Girls' basketball team, ended at 7 o'clock. 

Saturday - Gather in SPH Sentul at 7am and left to UPH Karawaci. Hang out for four hours and started the game against the East Girls' basketball team and ended after an hour. 

I've been disappointed with the games because we lost both games. For the first game, I played for 2 minutes on the court. For the second game, I didn't play at all. It was very hurtful that I couldn't play much. I feel bad about myself as if I'm not good enough to play for the team... 

However, I learned that playing was not everything. Being in 

the team was more important than anything. I thought it was useless for me to go yesterday because I didn't play at all and that I could've done my art project instead. I learned how game could be unfair. I wasn't happy because our team lost two games, but I learned that how teamwork is very important. Just being there and supporting my friends were important. Also, I know better about my coach Ms.Terri. She is not pressuring and she is very supportive. She doesn't care whether we win or not, as long as we have fun. And I really like that because even after the game we were not sad or emotional because Ms.Terri told us that she's very proud of us. 

Tomorrow, there will be one more game in SPH Karawaci. We will be leaving school at 11am. Hopefully we will win the game tomorrow. 

This picture above is the picture of me and my friends Melissa and Frida after the game and while waiting for the bus to come ^^

Robin Hood poster design

Today during PE class (period 3&4) the drama publication group when to Ms.Mandy's class to discuss about pricing and also the poster. Ms. Mandy said that she wasn't satisfied where I drew Mariam because it seemed like Robin is pointing his arrow to her. So I have to crop the picture and delete the Mariam part and write the information of the play instead. I will have to finish it tonight.

Robin Hood poster and Tennis

Yesterday night, I finally finished the robin hood poster. I will post the picture soon after I take the picture of it. I spent around two hours working on it. I showed it to my friends today and they seemed pretty satisfied about it. I just need to edit it (probably using photoshop) to make it look better for small details and the information of the play. 

Today, finally the rain stopped and it was sunny. It was hot since the morning... until now (It's 9:25pm right now). So I played tennis for 1 hour and 30 minutes at school. Now I could hit the ball better but when it gets to game, I get nervous and I become bad at serving the ball... So I really need to focus more during the game.

Poster design for Drama Production

This year, the drama production is going to perform "Robbin Hood". Now Joo Eun, Deviana and I are in charge of poster designing. For the poster design, Sam and I had the same idea which was to create a silhouette of Robin and Mariam. The story is romantic, but in this drama, I heard that there may be some funny lines in it. So I am trying to create a poster that is romantic and classical but also somehow funny. I have to finish it by Monday next week (19 October)!

Dance!

Yesterday, I had lots of fun doing dance with one of the members, Sam. We went to the student lounge after school and started to create some dance movements. We used the song "CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK" by Amuro Namie. We chose this song because it's really catchy, good and not too fast, not too slow. We covered around 30 beats of the song with the movement we created/ modified. We wanted to record it but we both didn't have a camera to record. So probably on Monday, we would try to record it and post it on this blog. 

Also, one of my friends, Rully said that there might be a dance competition somewhere in November. So we might want to participate on this competition to represent our school name.

Basketball practice

Yesterday, I had basketball practice for around one and a half hour. We also did "sweet sixteen" run again and it was awful. However, it wasn't as bad as before. On the previous lesson, I couldn't run properly because I kept on forcing my self all the time to run fast. But yesterday, I changed a bit by running with my pace. I learned that it is much better to run in my pace because I wouldn't need to stop and I wouldn't feel really tired. So it was interesting that I learned my OWN technique and skills of exercising and for basketball yesterday. I also found out that I'm not doing good in shooting the ball into the ring. I really need more practice. The worst part was defending and rebounding. I really dislike these two methods in playing the basketball. Maybe I could ask someone else to exchange positions with me (I'm on the bottom right part). 

report card day...

Today, I couldn't have dance practice again... I just realized that it was the report card day today so most of the rooms were occupied. We were planning to first, do it in the drama room, and if its not available, then we would go to the music room. But we couldn't use any of the rooms. Also, my mom suddenly changed the schedule for my piano lesson from Saturday to today. So I had no chance at all to practice... Tomorrow, I'm having basketball practice (the competition is coming up soon!!!) Hopefully, I would improve my stamina and my skills better tomorrow!

Drama Design

I totally forgot that I'm actually in the Drama production for this year. Although I believe that my job could be called minority (as in not really deep) but still I think it is an important job. I've never planned about joining the drama production this year because I decided to do something new because I joined drama last year for the whole entire year. 

Last time before the break starts (the Lebaran holiday) on Wednesday, I was waiting for my friends Sam and Joo Eun in Pak Benny's class (they were having meeting for the drama production because they were in charge of the publication and art stuffs). When I was just sitting there and listening to people, Mrs.Mandy, the drama teacher just put me in her list and told me to do create the design for the Drama production (this year we're having Robin Hood). So I thought why not? I believe this would help the drama club and also could be a good experience for me since I am also interested in designing products and also illustrating. 

Today I checked my facebook mail and the drama publication and arts team created a thread so that we could chat in that one thread about the plans. It is very helpful because I can understand and keep track of the condition. All I need to do is making an action. Starting thinking and designing the designs that could be used for the ticket, t-shirt, posters and so on.

Basketball

Today, like what I said in the older post, I joined basketball activity instead of archery. I thought I was lucky today because it rained anyways so there were no archery (we had basketball practice in the gym). The practice was almost suicidal today. We did so much running. First, we had to run back and forth the gym floor. Later on, we practiced lay-ups (both left and right). After that, I learned new technique for the zone defense. It is very unique and interesting for me because it was my first time to learn such great way how to defend. It is called "chicken". When the person on the center of the court says "chicken" then we would run into different assigned positions to get the ball and to shoot the ring (as a team). At the end, we had to do the last running called "sweet sixteen" and yeah, it is very sarcastic. We had to run back and forth 16 times for three sets! But it was a good exercise and hopefully my stamina is better now. 

another rainy day...

Yesterday afternoon, I couldn't do tennis because it rained again. At first the rain wasn't that hard, later on, it stopped...but it starts raining again...even harder... So I couldn't join the tennis activity. This week, I would have to prepare another extra one hour to cover my tennis time. Maybe by either doing baskeball, dance or archery.

Karawaci Basketball Cup is coming up soon this October. Today, I might sacrifice my archery time to practice basketball. There will be practice this Tuesday, Thursday, next Tuesday and during the free time in CB camp.

Basketball!

Today, I was able to join the basketball practice for 1 hour and 15 minutes with Ms.Terri. I realized that I need so much practice because I haven't joined basketball practice for one year (I was in the team when I was in 9th grade). So I would have to take my stamina back. However, today, I had a bad time practicing basketball because I didn't do any warming ups. So I felt dizzy during the whole practice. Next time, I should do warming ups properly first before starting practice.

dance...

Today, I couldn't have dance practice because not all of the members were able to come. Besides, the drama room was occupied. So we decided to do our dance activity during this weekend maybe on Sunday at someone's house.

arhcery

Today, I was able to do archery because it wasn't raining. However, I couldn't do well today because I wasn't focused enough. I made 59 points out of three sets (three arrows/set) which is not really good. 

Rain

Yesterday, I couldn't do tennis because it was raining hard outside. The court was wet and slippery, so our supervisor cancelled the schedule. So this week, I would have to add extra one hour to cover the CAS hour I was supposed to do yesterday. 

Holiday

Starting from 17 to 29th of September, we had a Lebaran holiday. Meaning, I had 12 days off school so I couldn't do my CAS (tennis, archery, basketball). However, I did dancing activity because I could do it at home and it was easy. I didn't create movements but I found some ideas to create the movements later on with my friends. The bad part of doing CAS during the holiday was getting the signature from supervisors. Since there is no supervisors during the holiday, it is hard to get a proof or evidence. 

School started on the 30th, which was Wednesday. I couldn't do tennis and archery (Monday and Tuesday) so I spent so much time in dancing on Thursday night. I asked one of my dancing members, Joo Eun to sleep over at my house. We danced for two hours.  I was very busy this day because I had art project due the next day, English presentation and a math test. The reason why I didn't go to basketball club this day was because I didn't have a ride home so we had to take the public transportation. My sister needed to go back to Bogor as soon as possible because she needed to print her artwork paper and shop closes at 5pm. 

On Friday, I created some movements with Joo Eun for an hour after school. During the weekend, I danced a lot (around three hours in total) because I had to cover all of my CAS hours for this week. What I did was warming up and focusing on techniques. I collected all of the music videos that consists of dancing (usually hip-hop) and imitated the dancers in the TV so that we could move around our body and get started.  I also created some movements with my sister Sakura, which is also one of the members.
