Natal / Christmas

Wasn't really sure what to do for christmas... so I stayed over Vando's place christmas eve. When I woke up I got a call from mum, so was wished Merry Christmas by everyone, Mum, Dad, Nathan, Mitchell n Patti. They all seemed like they were having a great time. Wish I could have been there, so I was a little sad, but at that stage I didn't know I was still gonna have a great day, even if I couldn't be with my family... It was my first christmas without them, so it didn't feel quite right, but I still had fun anyways.

At 11 we went to church, it was pretty good, Vando goes to a charismatic church, so it was pretty fun, up beat, has a live band, tv's around the place, so if you're too far from the stage you can still see whats going on.. haha. After that we planned to watch the ice skating Christmas show at IceLand, but we ended up finishing church at 1:30, so it was already finished when we went up to the rink. Stayed n watched for a bit before deciding to go to Amplaz.

We didn't really know what we were doing there.. haha.. just wondering around, anyways Asterix was on at 4 so we were gonna watch that with some of the others. . after they got back to us, turned out they were all busy. . with time to spare we wondered around for a bit, n then went to find something to eat. I shouted Vando at solaria, a fairly nice restaurant on the 3rd floor. Vando took a while to convince... I said I would shout him dinner, n he went to choose the cheapest place, n was gonna get mie ayam (Chicken noodles that you can buy off the side of the road for around 50c) ... took me about half an hour to convince him that I wanted something special, cause it was christmas, and that price didn't matter. (even tho the place we ate at was expensive, we had heaps of food, and for the same price, I wouldn't be able to go to a restaurant in australia alone! so its still lumayan cheep) but honestly, I didn't care... I didn't want to think about money, I just wanted to have fun, to have a great day with my best friend.

After solaria, it was already 4:15, so we missed the movie... instead we watched Madagascar2 at 6pm... I dunno what we did while waiting for the movie to start, haha, but time seemed to pass quickly anyways. Madagascar is awesome!! so funny! as good, if not better than the first, I wanna see it again!

Movie finished, we went to play pool, again, invited the others, but no one could make it. so just me n vando playing pool for a few hours, til a bencong came along, hosting some special christmas activity. Me n Vando were tied together, back to back, and we had to sink as many balls as possible in one minute, we only got three... but hey, thats not bad right??! I mean, our hands were tied together!! Vando was disappointed the bencong was only talking to me... cause I was "sooo cute!!! .. and only twenty" .. he spoke english, cause I told him i didn't speak indo... I wanted to play a prank on him, but it turned out his english wasn't too bad, so didn't really work.. haha. Vando is getting better at pool, or I'm getting worse, I dunno which... we used to be about the same.. but yesterday dy menang terus! ... (sorry for the random indo, some things just dont sound right in english anymore)

So it was a long day, but heaps of fun. My phone battery died halfway through the night, so sorry for not replying to all your christmas messages straight away.. thats what I get for not ever going home for the last week! haha

Pokoknya natalku menyenangkan, walaupun agak simple... aku senang.
