My Time at HTTP

There was another event called HTTP. At first, I wasn’t interested in this HTTP and thought it wasn’t that important. Like the rest of FEP, I didn’t know anything about it. Some of the Buddy Coordinators seemed excited and told me that it was important for us students taking GAT. When I arrived at the event, I was surprised to see it started by showing a movie for us to watch. The movie was Zootopia. That was only the appetizer for the main course. As soon as the film was almost over, it was cut off to the main event with the hosts. My seat was at the second floor with some of my friends from Binus Square.

The opening was a bit shaky but decent at best. I honestly thought the singers weren’t great but weren’t bad either. Besides, I’ve heard worse singers out there. Then we had some words from the people behind HIMTI. They gave us some words of encouragement and a motivational speech. During the first act, there was another singer and he was a lot better than the band. After the first act, we had lunch break with everyone given the choices of vege and non-vege meals. I actually chose the vegetarian meal, , mostly because during the time I had a nasty stomach ache problem and my mother told me to lay off greasy meat for a while. The meal was decent at best, but it was not enough to fill my stomach.

Afterwards, we continued to the second act was a visualization, which was like a play in a way. Its strongest point was the message about the importance of teamwork and the dangers of being the person type who either demanded to be in complete control or forcibly push their own ideas onto others without listening to their opinions, especially when they think they are never wrong. The presentation’s story was also realistic as it could happen in real life. However, the acting could have been better. It wasn’t that good, but it wasn’t that bad either. Like the first act, I’ve seen worse acting. Unfortunately, not everyone shared my opinion with the visualization. I saw some of my friends bored and I even heard them moaning.

We had another break and this time, it was longer. Unlike the first break where we would be inside the auditorium, we had to do it outside. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. Thankfully, it wasn’t that long. The third and final act had started and we all had to gather at the ground floor. In my honest opinion, it was the best of HTTP. It was a concert performed by a different band in rap style. The songs they played were catchy that everyone in the auditorium ended up dancing all the way through. Needless to say, it was fun. It did feel like I was on one of those concerts. If that was how it felt when in a concert, I wouldn’t mind joining in. After the concert was over, we had our goodbyes and set off home. However, if there was one thing I didn’t like the most in this event, it was the time when we had to go. It was late and I was stuck in the place for almost an hour. After that long wait, I had to walk my way to Binus Square because it was really late that there were no more buses coming to Binus Anggrek. It was extremely unpleasant.

Overall, HTTP was decent and I did enjoy it for the most part.
