Myself

Me

I am Defrian Anhas everyone calls me Idef, but not many people call me Def. I love both of my call names. And actually I have other call names. I was born in Padang at 21 December 1990 in M. Djamil Hospital.  I am 170 centimeters height and 60 kilograms weight. I spent my childhood times in Padang too.

When I was almost 5 years old I entered a kindergarten named TK Baiturrahmah. After I graduated from that kindergarten, I continued my study to an elementary school named SD Baiturrahmah. I studied in that elementary school only until the middle of fourth grade.

In the middle of fourth grade I got chickenpox. Because of that disease I did not study for a month. After I recovered from that disease, I did not want to continue my study in SD Baiturrahmah, so my parents moved me to an elementary school in my mother’s village. I stayed there with my grandparents from my mother and my aunt. I studied in the elementary school only until I passed fourth grade.

When I was fifth grader, I moved to my father’s village and I studied in an elementary school there too. For my second movement, I moved, because my family moved too. I stayed in my father’s village with my family. We stayed there only for a year. After I passed the fifth grade, and my brother graduated elementary school. We moved again to Padang, but we didn’t move to our own home. We moved to a rent house in Parupuk Tabing St.

When we moved to Padang, my parents moved me to SD Angkasa II, Padang. I studied there until I graduated. After I graduated I continued my study to junior high school named SMP 13. In junior high school I became lazier. Now we skip my experienced along junior high. We continue to the worst part of my life. Why do I call like that? Because it was the time I really felt down and alone.What was that? That was time when the result of UN informed. The result was really disappointed me. I failed, but that time although we failed the test we could continue to senior high school. I continued my study to SMAN 7 Padang. In the remedial test I failed again that was really made me down. I did not study at all. Until one I realized that my feature is in my hand. I was back to school and I graduated from SMA Muhammadiyah, Tiku.

Now I am a college student in Padang State University. I made promise myself I will never be lazy anymore. Even though it is hard to do, but I have to do it for the better future.

Event

 August 17th

August 17th is the day when the Indonesia people celebrate our independence day. That is really important day for us. In that day in 1945 we were free from colonialism. That was not easy to be free from colonialism. Many patriots died. It spent a lot of time and a lot of money. To respect many patriots died. Every August 17th we always held many ceremonies, races, and parades

.

Here some activities we do in the day, the first is flag ceremony. It is held in the morning. The ceremony usually takes long time, it is about six hours. In that ceremony we flutter our national flag. It is usually in large field.

After we are done with flag ceremony, we have some more fun. We held many races, such as climb nut tree (lomba panjat pinang), and eating crackers race (lomba makan kerupuk). I will try to explain to you one by one. The first is climb nut tree race .  Maybe for foreign people, it hears strange. What we need is a high nut trees, oil and prizes of course.

Nut Tree Race (Lomba Panjat Pinang)

All the body of the tree will fill by oil. And the prizes hang on the top of the tree. Everyone will try to reach the prizes. If you see it, you will laugh because everyone who will reach the prizes will be black, caused by the oil. The second is eating crackers race. What you need is crackers and rope. The cheap will hang on. And you will try to reach the crackers only with your mouth.

Eating Cheap Crackers Race (Lomba Makan Kerupuk)

Those are funny things what we do in Independence Day, but not only that we make our country to be better day by day. Because that is what our patriots wanted.
