This event started on 20 May to 24 May 2013, It's National Polytechnic English Olympic (really glad to be here), there were about 40 polytechnics from all over Indonesia competed in this English Olympic. There were four kinds of contest, public speaking, newscasting, storytelling and debating. My college, State Polytechnic of Ujung Pandang sent 7 persons to compete in each contest. One person for public speaking contest, two persons joined the newscasting, I am the only one who represented my polytechnic as a storyteller :p and 3 persons for the debating contest.
It was held in Shipbuilding State Polytechnic of Surabaya! The students stayed apart with the lecturers who accompany them to the competition. The students stayed in asrama haji Surabaya and the lecturers stayed in Hotel Sahid Gunawangsa. (but at the last day we stayed in the hotel for a night :D ) The whole things started from accomodation, facilities, until food were reaaaaaaaaaaaalllyyyyyyy totaaaaaaallllyyyy great. Seemed like the committees were really well-prepared for this event.
During this event me and the girls got closer and crazier together hahaha. We spent so much time at night to chat and talk and also shopping hehe. We really enjoyed time as GIRLS! No working just "fought" hehe, then sat down waiting................................ -__________- too much time wasted because of waiting, ate, chatted and shop!
This competition brought me some new experience especially for the contest STORYTELLING! before this time I really hate the storytelling, it looked weird. The storyteller asked and answered by themselves (x_x). But then, I have to do that. But, unfortunately I didn't become the winner but that's okay being in the top ten from all over 30 participants! I got a good score in the motivation story (may be I should be a motivator) LoL. =D
After the event, my lecturers and friends got back to Makassar but I stayed longer in Surabaya and had a fun holiday with my family there, adek Ammar! kinda miss him :'( . I went to a place that I never visited before in my whole life (21 years!) it's a ZOO! Hahaha.

I loved these words.

I loved this quote!
"Women also fought, behind even worry and nervous, still wanted to deliver the food, eventhough the enemy ready to stop, don't care about the imagined torments"
