The gathering to Pangalengan was an unforgettable experience, especially with the challenging white water rafting activity. We left on Friday afternoon after school, filled with excitement and enthusiasm. The journey to Pangalengan was surrounded by green scenery and fresh air.

When we arrived in Pangalengan, the bus had to stop because it couldn’t go up due to the narrow road, so we had to take a mini bus. Once we reached the accommodation, the girls’ and boys’ rooms were separated (girls stayed downstairs and boys upstairs). We then unpacked, changed clothes, and were asked to gather in a small field to play a soccer game. After finishing the game, we took a break (showering, praying Maghrib-Isya), and then gathered to watch the final basketball match together (although some were playing Uno, chatting, or on their phones).

After that, we decided to eat (having a barbecue and suki) prepared by some parents. Once we finished eating, we were told to gather around a campfire where we all chatted together and planned a surprise for one of our friends, Kendra, who was having a birthday.

We pranked her until she cried, and the plan was successful. After that, we exchanged gifts, which had been prepared and brought beforehand. The atmosphere was cold but overshadowed by the fun we were having. Afterward, we were told to rest and sleep so we wouldn’t be late the next day.

The next day we (the girls) woke up early, while the boys were still sleeping. So we waited until everyone woke up. After everyone woke up we all went to the small field to play ball and volleyball. After we finished playing, we ate yellow rice and immediately got ready by changing clothes and straightening our clothes because we were going rafting.
