Cinderella

Once upon a time there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like her one little bit. All her kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. Nothing was too good for them - dresses, shoes, delicious food, soft beds, and every home comfort.

But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No rest and no comfort. She had to work hard all day. Only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That’s why everybody called her Cinderella.

Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, . Miaow. , which really meant, . Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters has and that is beauty.. It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in old rags, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.

One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at the palace and the stepsisters were getting ready to go. Cinderella didn't even dare ask if she could go too. She knew very well what the answer would be: . You? You're staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy.. Cinderella sighed, . Oh dear, I'm so unhappy!. and the cat murmured . Miaow..

Suddenly something amazing happened. As Cinderella was sitting all alone, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared. . Don't be alarmed, Cinderella,. said the fairy. . I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!. . How can I, dressed in rags?. Cinderella replied. . The servants will turn me away!.

The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. . Now for your coach,. said the fairy; "A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin!. Oh of course,. said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat. . You, bring me seven mice, and, remember they must be alive!.

Cinderella soon returned with the pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. With a flick of the magic wand the pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes.

Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball until she heard the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Prince. s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the night.

The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up the slipper and said to his ministers, “Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be content until I find her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of every girl in the land until only Cinderella was left.

That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball,. snapped the stepmother. . Tell the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can't you see how ugly Cinderella is?. But, to everyone. s amazement, the shoe fitted perfectly.

Suddenly the fairy appeared and waved her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, "Come with us Cinderella! The Prince is waiting for you." So Cinderella married the Prince and lived happily ever. As for the cat, he just said "Miaow!"

My School Life

I’m a student of 3 Senior High School Bandung. My school is famous because it is the best school in Indonesia. I’m happy that I can enter this school. But the lesson is hard, there are a lot of homeworks, many tests in one day, and we must choose at least one extracurricular. I’m already busy by the homeworks but I choose 4 extracurriculars.

MK 3 or “Musik Klasik 3” is a music club. If you can’t play any instrument, it’s okay. You can join this club because there are coaches that will teach you how to play it.

UBBAS or “Unit Bola Basket” is a basketball club. This club practice at Thursday and Saturday. But ususally I just practice in Saturday because I have Geography class until 4 p.m. Different than BM, usually there is no coach and we just play basketball.

BC or “Badminton Club” is a badminton club. This club practice at Saturday from 1 p.m. until done (usually until 3 p.m.). I usually just play one time because there is just one badminton field. But we can play on the side of the field.

Gamarvani

Saturday, September 19^th 2015, my school held an event that called “Gamarvani”. It was a festival that presented arts and cultures of West Java.

In the morning, I would go to Bali Field, where the event took place, by myself. But my friend texted me and he wanted to go there together. So I met my friends at school and then went to Bali Field together.

There, we had to stand in line because we participated in a parade. We must wear traditional clothes, the boys wear “Pangsi” and the girls wear “Kebaya”. The route were from Bali street-Belitung street-Sumatra street-Aceh street-Merdeka street-Jawa street then went back to Bali street. After that there were performances by SD BPI and SD Kartika. We felt tired already so we decided to go to my friend’s house near school. It was so cold that I relaxed for a while.

At around 12 p.m, we decided to go back to Bali Field. Before that we prayed first. At Bali Field we got our body and things checked before entered there. Unfortunately, my scissors and my plastic ruler were confiscated. I understand why my scissors was taken but what about my plastic ruler? Is it dangerous? Whatever I just dissapointed.

As we entered Bali Field, we felt hungry already. There were so many foods that I confused to decide which food should I buy. My friend wanted to buy a food called “Bitebox”. Just like the name, the food was laided on a box. It looked delicious. So I bought it too. It was really good. But the price wasn’t really good. It was really expensive to me.

After that we played traditional game called “Boy-boyan”. At first, I didn’t really interested but the mc said the winner will get rewards. I just aimed for the prize. We played 4 versus 4, 3 boys and 1 girls. In the end my team lost. So we didn’t get the prize. After that we just sat on the corner watching performances on the stage.

At around 3 p.m, we decided to pray Ashar as soon as possible to avoid crowd. Luckily, there were just a few people in musholla so we could pray peacefully. Finally, the group that I had waited for ages, Tiloes’ Theatre, finally performed. And they didn’t dissapoint me! It was great and really funny. The jokes were really good. I really appreciated their effort to prepared that performance. I’m kind of struck with amazement and admiration to them. The performance ended at around 5.40 p.m, so we decided to go to musholla for prayed maghrib. But the musholla was already crowded so we couldn’t pray peacefully.

After maghrib, the most-waited-performances would perform. There were Adera and Hivi! Before Adera performed, we ate something first so when we watched the performances our stomach was already full. Unfortunately, Adera was late. I was a little bit dissapointed and my foots a little bit hurted too. Although Adera was late, it was worth to wait because his performance was great, as expected from a national singer. After he sang for about 5-6 songs, I felt tired, sleepy, and now my legs hurted more after standing for a long time. So I just decided to go home.

Although I didn’t watch Hivi!’s performance, I’m satisfied with the event. And because of Gamarvani, I can meet my old friends from elementary school and junior high school. I’m sure next year I’ll be there again.
