Well.
Now I am going to tell you about my precious experience when I joined reading
poetry competition in Festival Seni
Mahasiswa 2015 in Yogyakarta State University or Universitas Negeri
Yogyakarta. It was so excited because I passed many hard processes to be a
participant there. First, I registered to the committee. Second, I had to pay
cost of registration through bank or I could pay directly to the committee.
They told that if I had not paid until Thursday, I would not be a participant
again so that I went to Yogyakarta state University with my senior by
motorcycle on Wednesday. Arriving there, I did not meet committee and it made
me so confused because I borrowed helmet from my senior who was waiting for me
in the library. Besides that, I had to permit to librarian. Honestly, I felt
uncomfortable because the librarian was sick. I tried to text and call the
committee but there was no response. We decided to pray ‘Ashar. On the way to
the mosque I met my friend who told me about the competition. His name was Abu
Hair. He was so kind and he became my friend when we met in reading poetry
competition in Festival Sastra 2015
that was held in Gadjah Mada University or Universitas Gadjah Mada. Well, we
tried together to meet the committee. We lift the stairs but it was still
nothing So, we all decided to pray in the mosque. After that, we tried again
but one person in the lobby told me that the committee of reading poetry
competition was here In the morning. I myself was disappointed. However it was
okay. So, Mas Abu Hair entrusted his
files to me in order to be given to the committee by me. On Thrusday, I myself
went to there again by bus transportation alone. I met mba Octa who was so eye-catching and humble. She always responded
all my questions on Facebook. I gave my files and Mas Abu’s file to her. I told her that I could not come to
technical meeting on Friday because I could not leave my study in the campus.
She told me that the technical meeting is a must to a participant because it
would be selection of administration for the participant if the participant did
not present, he no longer became a participant. I
endeavored to explain her but I could not. On Friday, I felt doubtful because I
had to study and I had to be there for technical meeting and what should I do?
I joined class for a while and I tried to tell my lecturer that I had to permit
in order to go to Yogyakarta State University to technical meeting. I was
afraid that she would not permit me but she permitted me and she said, “Good
Luck” as well. I was extremely happy in that time. I ran to the shelter of
Trans Jogja because technical meeting would be held at 08.00 AM. Arriving
there, I signed on the list and I took number of participant. I chose my birth
date as my lucky number, 16. :D After
that the committee gave me cake and so forth including a cup of tea. I was so
thankful because technical meeting had not
begun and many participants had not come yet. Mas Abu chatted me through WhatsApp that he was in trouble because
his motorcycle was in repair shop and maybe he would be late. When technical
meeting began I saw Mas Abu had come.
I saw many participants who were from different university and background came
in and they seemed expert in reading poetry. “It was okay”, said me softly. The
precious day had came, Mas Abu fetched me in the campus and we
got together going there. In the room I met many incredible persons, one of
them could draw perfectly. Moreover, many participants had experience in
reading poetry competition such as some of them were the first winner of
reading poetry competition. I just prayed, I wished all things would be
alright. The number of participants were random. So, All participants were
nervous in the same time. I got 48 and I went forward to show my ability in
reading poetry in front of three judges. Mas
Abu recorded my performance through his mobile phone. Unfortunately, I have not
seen and got my video up to now. :D The competition ended at 09.00 PM and I
failed to get cup but it is okay because there will be many opportunities for
me to join reading poetry competition again. Thanks for Festival Seni Mahasiswa Tangkai Lomba Baca Puisi, Yogyakarta State
University, and my beloved friend Mas Abu
Hoir. :D
