9th March
2016
Hello there!
How’s your March so
far?
Been having fun?
Here I’m back with
what I’ve promised!
As we’re having a national holiday on 9th
March to celebrate*Nyepi*, some old high school friends that we haven’t met for
a long time invited us to have a small reunion on the day during lunch time.
Though unfortunately, only some members were able to join them. But since it’s
a rare holiday that comes once in several months, we
didn’t want to let it be a waste without having a meetup. So, we planned
that for those of us who could make it later, would join them after the
reunion. Then we’d all go karaoke-ing and have dinner together (only G-8
members). Actually at first, I wasn’t sure I could join them for the whole day
since I promised my mom to hang out with her and I didn’t know what time I’d
finish, so I told them that I’d just pass this time. But they kept on telling
me that I could just join them anytime, so I joined them at the karaoke at the
end.
The karaoke members.
The three guys came straight from the reunion,
while Winda and I joined later. We met at Centre Point, but since it’s holiday,
there’s no room left at Detones Afgan, so we headed to Inul Vista to try our
luck, and we were so lucky to get a large room with a lot of bonus, free food
and beverages, plus free membership for one person with affordable price (and
it is really affordable for a holiday rate!). The room is large enough for five
of us to sit, jump, scream and even dance crazily inside. It can fit 8-10 people I guess.
After karaoke-ing for two straight hours, came
the dinner time. We headed to parking lot to look for a taxi that could take us
to Dokioo, the place where we gonna have dinner. Since it’s located near the
mall, we thought that it would be possible to fit five of us in a taxi. And
yes, of course we fit. But the driver insisted that we take two separate taxis.
We insisted back that it’s near, we’d arrive in no time, so it wouldn’t be a
problem, and we also stated that we would give him more money. Still, the
driver stayed firm with his statement and wouldn’t start the car. So we gave up
and rode on different taxi.
When we arrived at Dokioo, the place was full
and we had to wait till a group of people left, because there were six of us
and there were only two tables with seats for more than 4 people. We waited for
more than half an hour, and we’re actually really hungry haha. Right at the
time, Daniel came and joined us bringing the famous (in Medan) 96 Bakery’s
brownies. I salivated right away XD.
After a while, we finally got our seats. The
first thing that we did was ordering, done in a flash (while we usually need
more than five minutes or more). The second thing was opening the box of
brownies, cause hunger can kill you know. You’ll turn into a different person
when you’re in extreme hunger. Haha. I was like “Brownies! Brownies! Open!
Open!” XD
When Daniel slowly
took the lid off, I noticed something. Hmm. I saw the word “HBD” haha
Then I realized,
aaaahhh, it was a birthday cake!
I’m pretty sure it was
for me haha since it’s my birthday on 11th March, and it’s 9th
March, that’s why it was written “HBD in Advance”. But I was wrong, haha the
brownies was for Winda and me! Her birthday is only three days away from mine,
14th March and our birthdays are always celebrated at the same time.
See how they’re killing two birds with a
stone?
Truthfully, I had
expected this. I had sniffed something fishy when they insisted that I join
them no matter what time I finish. I had told them that I wouldn’t join them,
but they kept insisting me to come. The same case for Winda as well, she was
supposed to join them at the reunion, but something came up and she canceled.
The guys were panicked and couldn’t stop convincing her to join the karaoke. I
knew they were preparing something. Haha
Anyway guys, thank you
for making it happen. I know it was hard to set everything up since we’re all
getting very busy recently and it’s hard to gather everyone. For Karina and
Diana too, who couldn’t join us, thanks J Thank you so much for making this
birthday *less lonely* wkwk Thank you for making it a lot sweeter, and thanks
(not sincerely) for making us a lot fatter with all the sweetness. XD
Happee birthday too to +Winda Chai, who is my three-day-apart sister. Wish you all that you wish for
comes true. Wish your family the best always. Wish our friendship lasts
forever. Wish you a healthy and happy life. Keep smiling, keep strong and you
know you can always do it, right? Love ya!
And here are some
snaps of the meals we had in Dokioo which specializes in desserts :d
