Heωωo eveωyone~~ 🐾! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜, I actuaωy made this post to shaωe the expewiences 🏖 I've had in the past feUωU days.

If uωu think this poωst is noωt impoωtant oω you just simpωy don't ωike 😭 to read this kind of posts, it's okay to ignoωe it. ୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭

έspeciaωy foω you ωatist Masteωs and Gωandmasteωs 🤬, who see this long poωst fωom a Candidate Masteω, and lustfuωy want to doωnvote 👎. Go Aωay! ♡૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა💢

I made this post with sevewal puωposes 🙏:

• to make you jealous (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ that Indonesia 🇮🇩 has an onsite contest that hasn't existed fow almost two yeaws(?) 🎅;

• appweciate (￣^￣ )ゞ the owganizews of COMPFEST 14 🌴;

• stowytewing (♡ơ♡)✎ 🏓;

• tewing you the ωeasons I sometimeωs feeω gωateful (ˇʃƪˇ) to knoω cҩωҩmpetitive pωogωamming 🏚;

• making you feel annoyed ಠ 益ಠ by this post 🙀;

• copypasta-flavoω it because I think it ωiω be intewesting. wkoakoawokawo

(any stwing without the same consecutive chawacteωs in substωing of size 3 consistωing of fouω chawacteωs wkoa is consideωed as a laugh in Bahasa Indonesia 😂)

okay, so yesteωday I think it ωas one of the happieωest 🙆‍♀️ days I've eveω had, just so you knoω, I'm studying ✎✍🎓 ✎✍ at Universitas Indonesia 🎓, and this yeaω is my fouωth yeaw ✍(╥⌓╥). I'm weaωy excited about the COMPFEST 14 ✒️ event that was just held. wight, the contest that was just mioωowed yesteωday. I was one of the 🐾ticipants who attended the oωoriginal contest yesteωday toωoωo 🪞＼(＾O＾)／.

Why do I feel so gwatefull 🤲? Because aωguably this is my fiωst "oωonsite" event foω almost two yeaωs living in this covid buωωoω ﴾ತ﹏ತ﴿ 🦠. Because of these cωazy people who want to spend theiω pωecious time (☉ε　⊙ﾉ)ﾉ pωacticaωly fow fωee and voluntaωily oωganize this COMPFEST Competitive Programming Contest fow aωll students in Indonesia 🇮🇩 fow ZEOωO COST! (I can say that theωe is almost no inteωference/inteωervωention/contωibution fωom the lectuωeωrs to the pωoblemsets oωor the judge platfoωm) 😳.

One of the best paωt is, they gave us fwee t-shiwts 👕 and foods 🌮 (they awe weawy gweat at finding sponsows and funding, kudos to the sponsors btw)!

I met my old fwiends 😻, and even new acquaintances 📒 that I've only met thwough discowd 👾 while online, who twaveled about 150KM ow 100 miles 🚗 foωom a city (ভ_ ভ) ރ ／/ ┊ ＼ in the faω ωay pωovince to just attend this contest. I was weaωy happy when I meωt them and got to know more 👋 not only thωouuu theiω handles assigned in CodeForces ow othew competitive pωogωamming sites（🌸╹ᵕ╹(≧ᴗ≦˵).

I ωas so happy that I even decoωated the nametags they gave me to make them beautiful and chaωming (◕◡◕🌸).

I paωticipated as a scientific committee at COMPFEST 12, and ωas the peωson in chaωge of COMPFEST 13 last yeaω 🧟‍♀️. You could say that these expeωiences aωe not something that I can foωget Σ(ＴωＴ*). ωhy? Because it's not just one peωson's ωole. Ouω fiωst tωo miωωoωed contests on CodeFoωces ωas quite a mess I ωould say ˚‧º·(′̥̥̥ ゝ ‵̥̥̥)‧º·˚😔.

Even the idea of having the couωage to peωsonaωy message Mike and KAN (lol I don't want to bother tagging them and fill their notification with my shitpost) strωuck me as a pωetty cωazy ヾ( °∇°* ) thing to do foω a 20-yeaω-old coωllege student in a Southeast Asia countωy ωhose name people had only heaωd of in passing ʿʿ⁽⁽((⁰ⅈ⁰))⁾⁾ʾʾ ʿʿ⁽⁽((⁰ⅈ⁰))⁾⁾ʾʾ 🐬.

hiddentesla, you could say he came up ωith this idea. I can't believe steven.novaryo, Pyqe, (Zappeko, rama_pang (つ● ∀●)つヘ(•́ ∀ •̀ヘ ) they'ωe not even Universitas Indonesia students but they'we wiωing to help this contest ωun 🏃‍♀️(?)), (errorgorn, Mr. eωraωrgoωn he's not even Indonesian but I'm pωetty suωe his effoωt is gωeat?!?!! ლ(👁️ ʖ̯👁️ლ)). ωeω my point is, no matteω ωhich sky you'ωe seeing noω, oω land standing by noω, fωiendships and spiωit goes oveω it ❣️.

I'm ωeaωy gωateful not only to the famous people you saω in yesteωday's contest announcement post, but aω the onsite committees ωho ωent out of theiω ωay to make this contest happen:

• TakeMe foω being ωeaωy ωesponsive ωhen ouωr computeωr accidentaωlly logged out ╚═། ◑ ▃ ◑ །═╝ (it ωas actuaωly my fault by accidentaωy pωessed the ωindoωs+L button on uωubuωuntu hωhahahahaha).
• nandonathaniel foω bωinging the foωods 🍜 pωovided by the committee to the contest haωll 🍔(-ω-๑).
• gansus foω dωopping us off at the contests ωoom ＿〆(´∀｀●).
• Nyse foω being the MC, announcing stuωuffs as the event ωuns smooωuthly ヾ(・◇・)ﾉθ～♪.
• And aωll the otheω local committees that I can't fuωy descωibe: A ωeaωy big thank you to you guys.
• By the ωay, hopefuωy next yeaω theωe ωiω be baωoons 🎈oω flags 🚩 :p

Okay, here's the cωazy paωt.

They've never expeωienced an ICPC onsite contest and managed to oωganize an onsite contest as successful as this.

The afteω contest ✿♬♫♪(* ˘’▽ ˘)٩(˘ ◊ ˘)۶♬♩♪♩(>◒< )♪♫ 🦮;
the joy of discussing ωhy the fuωuck ouωr solutions bugged foω houωs Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ; 🐛.
the loud noise of clap (((*°▽°*)八(*°▽°*)))♪; 👏.
the scωeam you heaω ωhen people got Accepted (๑ò◊ó ﾉ )ﾉ!; 😱.
the tension you get ωhen uω and uωr teaωmmaωte coding a bugged stupid code on one PC onwy =(ಥДಥ)=🤬.

Noω the lovely paωt, I got to talk and did a chit-chat ωith a fωiend of mine that I ωaωely see, I asked him hoω he ωas doing and hoω things aωe going foω him. I ωas ωeaωy happy to be able to talk to him again ( ´•̥̥̥‸ •̥̥̥`) and this event aωoωed me to give him the feedback that I believe he ωeaωy needs. 💯

Anyωays, I ωanted to congωatulate my fωiends ωho aωe going to the ωoωld Finals in Dhaka faustaadp, AlphaS, YogayoG !!. ωish them a lovely, safe tωip, and the best foω theiω peωfoωmance!!! (｡･ω･)┳┷❤️ 📕＿(´∀｀●)(* ˘⌣˘)◞[_] ♥✈️

They should've been teammates foω this COMPFEST contest, but AlphaS gωaduated fiωst and I ωas kindly chosen to be caωωied by the ωest of them.

Laωstly fωom me, go pωactice diligent and consistently |> ︿ <メ| befoωe you enteω the ωoωking ωoωld 👩‍💻, fuωl of ωife chaωenges and can no longeω be moωe than 8 houωs sitting in fωont of a computeωr, enjoying competitive pωogωamming pωobωems 🎢. The fun and gloωy of competitive pωogωamming is not just the rating (•ˇ ‿ ˇ•)-→, but the expeωience ωe got and the fωiends ωe met duωing ouω lifetime.
