December 29, 2010 at 15:30 pm, I began to depart from my home in West Cilandak numbers towards FX Senayan. The roads are jammed and I started to panic. But quite interesting because on this historic day, all the people along my trip to Senayan seem very enthusiastic. Many were wearing red shirts with bringing all the attributes of Indonesia starting from the flag, red and white scarf bearing Indonesia, trumpet, and they all went along with the people closest to supporting this national pride Garuda national team..
Up on the roundabout Senayan, Sudirman traffic toward already incredible dense. All stops except for thousands of rogue motor that goes into the sidewalk to get to the Senayan. If you already in the precarious situation like this, so it's legal when the motor broke through the pavement and hundreds of vendors crowded the edge of Sudirman street. For fear of too late to meet my friends, I finally fell in front of Ratu Plaza and walked toward FX. My tiredness was defeated feeling excited. I was walking excitedly, glad to see the enthusiasm Garuda national team supporters flocked to see the greatness of the players. All groups, whether poor to the rich, all running together. Awesome!
That day's gonna be a historic day. Not only for the Indonesian national team, not only for the people of Indonesia, but especially for me, because this will be my first experience watching Garuda national team competed in the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium. For 23 years I live in Jakarta, I have never set foot in that Silaban's building. So far I can only see the splendor of the outside only, never even looked into it..
After met with friends # jurnal05 on FX, we walked to Bung Karno Main Stadium. Along the way to the stadium was very solid. All human beings Indonesia came from various ethnic, religious and economic backgrounds. There was a little horror in the crowd. Fear stolen, fear of chaostic, but all fear gone by the spirit of supporting the Garuda national team. Unfortunately, two of my friends lost their mobile phone, Dimas and Joan, be patient, yes!
Our situation was uncertain because of waiting for tickets. The girl who brought our tickets was already entered into the stadium, so we have to wait her out again to give the tickets. We happened to buy a ticket stands, is not that classy. Not the class that we are looking for, we're just looking for entertainment.
Because we were late to the stadium, things got less clear. Very difficult to get into the stadium, especially when many people tried to force entry to the stadium. When Indonesia Raya was echoed, we could only hear it shudder from outside the stadium. All so sacred .. I was not too hung high expectations, I just want to see them play perfectly.
At 19:00 we were still outside the stadium when the game had begun. When finally some of us managed to get into, me, Dimas, Anka, Diah and Nyong can't come inside. All five of us decided to let go, watching outside the stadium via the big screen. After much thought, we eventually intend to try enter again. Luckily, the guard gate entrance was filled with pity, he finally let us in even though he already warned us that inside is the already very full and hard to get a seat. Regardless, we remain excited inside. YEAY! The first time I set foot here. Hihihi!
But sure enough, inside was very full. Almost impossible to have a sit. Finally five of us just sat outside, watching the game via the big screen. We sat in the stadium literally, but we watched the game from the big screen that is visible from the second floor. Hehehe. Occasionally we also looked into the seat area, but the atmosphere there was too hectic, the smell of sweat, bad breath, mix with the body heat, extraordinary!
The whole stadium turned red! Incredible! All shouting 'INDONESIA! "and all felt very solemn in the middle of a frenzied game. It is rather difficult to imagine that the Garuda national team can avenge the defeat when the first leg in Bukit Jalil, but the most important, they've played with very great! Won many matches in the AFF Cup, this alone is enough for me. There is still a sense of pride for Firman Utina et al.
December 29, 2010, a new historical recorded. Indonesia-Malaysia sportive match. Winner title for the Garuda national team in the hearts of the people of Indonesia. My first experience inside the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium. And the game is completed without any violence whatsoever. Standing applause for all the fans who already are tolerant to accept the defeat the Garuda national team. It was just one game, there are still many other games that await. Garuda national team is still a long way to beat its wings in the arena of world football. Although it may yesterday match could have become a means of proving Garuda national team, especially as proving the dignity of Indonesia over Malaysia, apart from that, there's still something to be proud of. That sense of nationalism of Indonesian people has never subsided.
Bravo Garuda! Bravo Indonesia!
