SMAN 3 Bandung's Event: Paman Gober

Paman Gober is an annual event held by SMAN 3 Bandung as the closing of its Sports Olympic event, Dewa Athena. The name itself stands for Penanaman dan dan Gowes Bersama, if translated, Planting and Cycling Together, quite much explaining the event's spirit and what people do on the events. What's great is, it is not only the students of SMAN 3 who join Paman Gober, but also the teachers and school's staffs.

This year, the event was held on Saturday morning, 9 May 2015. I was really excited with the event, as I'd just finished my olympiad preparation... which means not going to school for some time so that I missed my friends a lot. By joining the event, I was able to meet my friends, making me happy just before another preparation made me away from school again :)

The unfortunate thing is, just as the cycling event started, I got problem with my bicycle so that I got separated with my class-__- that was okay, though, as there were some of my friends from another class who got separated too that we cycled way back to school together. Yeap, the cycling route was from our school's sports field, Lapangan Bali, to Tegalega, to then go back to our start point after going to the planting site. We didn't go to Tegalega though, as the road was closed.

I didn't join the planting part of the event as my cycling group was faar from the first groups; which represented the others. Instead, my group directly cycled back to Lapangan Bali. After that, I went to school to meet my olympiad teacher; we spent like one hour chatting, so I didn't know what happened after the cycling event. I went back to the field at noon to watch my class' finals of tarik tambang and dodgeball. We won both of them!

Some days after that, we knew that our class is the second champion of Dewa Athena, by winning three branches; beside tarik tambang and dodgeball, we also won table tennis, represented by Riansyah Widisaputra. Our class, Akselerasi 1 and Akselerasi 2, also won the best supporters title. The commitee wrote that we were the class which often went to the event to give our class' team support. So proud of you, guys!
