DJ Basket Roars to Victory, This is Batam’s Pride

May 25, 2025 – Batam, Indonesia

Good day, DJ Fam! Be prepared for some exciting news! Our Junior High Basketball team killed it last night in the city’s championship tournament with a mind-blowing 66-55 against XX Junior High! The intense game last night was far from enough to blow your socks off!

A Day to Remember

Woo! It was an incredible sight to see. Every single second was worth watching, from the beginning to the end! The Prime and XX were head-to-head fighting for the crown, but after a long, fearless fight, DJ Basket came out victorious, leading with 11 points in the last 10 minutes.

“I’m ecstatic to see the team’s hard work pay off,” said the manager of DJ Basket.

After years of training and a constant losing streak, it must be a special moment for DJ Basket to bring back a gold trophy finally. Such feelings, I imagine, are like a Disney character finally reaching its happy ending.

“This win is not a happy ending, it’s the start of a new beginning for us to reach higher,” stated DJ’s coach in an interview.

 

What an Epic Comeback!

“I wasn’t trying to be doubtful, but during the half-time mark, I thought we had no chance of winning,” Sam said, a bystander during the match and a student of DJ High School.

It is worrisome when DJ Basket was behind by 26 points against XX Junior High. Cheers and shouts are getting louder from the DJ’s supporters as they try to encourage them to get up from what seemed like a definite loss.

“I worried, thinking that we had lost our chance, it was only because of the cheers that managed to bring our spirit up,” said Liam, one of the players of DJ Junior High.

 

After-Match and Celebration

Following the final buzzer, the arena erupted in celebrations. Cheers rang out around the arena, with a wave of audience holding banners and chanting for the gold winner of this year’s Junior High basketball tournament.

Upon hearing the news, the school principal came up and praised the players’ resilience and teamwork. “The team had been dedicated to winning for a long time, winning this tournament is such an incredible milestone for each player, I strongly believe every stakeholder of the school is proud of each and every one of them,” she said.

There lies a new glistening golden trophy on the school’s trophy display, a piece of history for the next generation to stumble upon, on what an awesome team DJ Junior High is. A reminder of what dedication, hard work, and teamwork could bring you to.

A bright future, brighter than the sun of the very day of the victory, is waiting for all players. Indeed, it is incredible what they can achieve on that very day and for the upcoming days to come.

YOUTH DRIVEN POLICY INNOVATION PROJECT  The 6th Asia Youth Summit  "Young People are not the leaders of tomorrow. They are the leaders of today." - Kofi Annan.  According to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, 50% of the world's population is under 30, yet youths hold only 2.6% of parliamentary seats globally, thereby limiting the influence that young people have in policymaking. Youth participation in policy-making is important because it ensures that policies are forward-thinking, inclusive, and reflective of the needs and aspirations of future generations, fostering innovation and sustainable progress.  Today, in Indonesia, youths have become at the forefront of political activism. Young people are the majority of those protesting against the proposed revision of the Military Law (RUU TNI), which, if passed, has the potential to bring back authoritarian-era control over academic spaces and policy-making.  The RUU TNI revisions raise concerns about the decli...

Hello, I’m Me…?

Hello, to those who may be reading this on the other side. You may know me... or not. Either way, Hey! I’m Angeline, nice to meet ya!   …   Oh, you want to know more about me? Well, I’m me…? I’m not sure what you want to know about me. I’m just your everyday 17-year-old senior student. I listen to music, I dance, and… Oh! If you want me to be less generic, I have economics as my favorite subject! That should be enough for you to know what kind of person I am, right? …No? Well, I’m never the best at these kinds of introductions… Haha. So, apologies for the disappointing introduction. Honestly, I’ve never been that type of person who enjoys socializing and I’m fine being in my own bubble, like a jellyfish ! Swimming around, minding my own business, doing things that I love (such as making music, dancing and animating) and staying away from outside conflicts. What a nice life that must be! But hey! Don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t mind some company and I’m used to socializing by...
