There's a tradition in my family. Christmas and new year should be spend together, with family. And it already happened for looooong time ever since I lived here. When Oma and Opa were alive, it never sucks. Never. But somehow after they gone, these events seem kinda suck and boring. I don't know which one is boring, me or the party (maybe because I'm not a family-person).
Hence on Christmas 2007, I had it with Helen and her family in Bali. My parents kinda upset. Christmas should be spend with family, which I knew, but people needs a break sometimes. So, yes, I skipped the family part. But this post isn't gonna be my Christmas experience with Helen but it's going to be my barbeque party with some high school friends :) I just love they all.
BEFORE THE PARTY
At first, Dita and I had a plan to open table or get a room in hotel for new year. I planned this after I got parents' approval to skip new year with the family. Then as time goes by, we didn't make either of it. There was a plan to have a barbeque party at Vento's house. On his rooftop. But the party wasn't held there, Dini's invitation came just in last minute (December 30th). Well, we only need to donate 50k, and she moved into a bigger house last year, so it's definitely a YES!
On the December 31st, I went to Dita's first. She's going to drop us at Vento's house. Believe it or not, I've been friends with Vento for over 3 years but I haven't got any chances to see his house. His mother very welcoming. We're talking a lot of stuffs and finally we're hanging out on the 2nd floor. Playing with Ekky (Vento's little brother) as well. About 5/6 pm we're going to Dini's house. It's in Cinere. God-knows-how-far-it-is-from-my-place. Luckily the traffic wasn't as bad as it usually be. We arrived and some people were there.
PARTAAAAY!
The people are: Me, Dita, Vento, Dini, Alit, Lyssa, Verena, Ella "kalong", Cupang, Fin, Jose, Vita, Wibi, Alco, Gerardo, and Djayes.
The guys were warming up the coals and, seriously, they were funny! They're doing so many tricks and (sorry I didn't got the photos, but you can see it on my facebook's profile) we laughed non-stop! Pixie and Moi were also there, made us laughed louder than ever :D
We bbq-d pork and chicken. Funny huh? I never ate pork steak before, so it was my first time haha.
Basically we're just hanging out and watched Spiderman 3. With took as many photos as possible :)
Well 15 minutes before midnight, we walked out and started to fireworks. It was a hell of fun! We couldn't stop laugh cause Wibi and Jose made funny moves all the time. There were 2 houses on fireworks wars and that night, really, was beautiful. Fireworks and full moon. How lovely night :) we got in and drank champagne together. Cheers for better year in 2010!
Uni lives totally make us become kalongs and nightcrawlers. We couldn't sleep! Vita decided to play I Am Sam (Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning were awesome!) and yes, finally we're falling asleep.
AFTER PARTY
Looked like all guys didn't sleep. This morning they were swimming! Their laughs woke the girls up and we watched them such as we're watching whale / dolphin show (sorry guys, but you're totally funny!). After the swimming part, we're home. Safe and sound.
Dini, thanks a bunch for the night! Thanks for the food and beverages. Also thanks for being such a nice host :)
Thanks for the night guys! This is the reason why I love my high school mates. You guys're awesome :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!
