On Wednesday, New Year's Eve, we decided to have dinner together. My mom said we have to arrive at King's Palace Restaurant at 6 pm, so we have to get ready at 4 pm. But suddenly, my dad said "Hurry up! We'll be late, we're going at 3 pm!" OH NO! I just came home from school at 2.45 pm and then I have to take a bath and get ready in 15 minutes?! Oh man...
Then, we got into the car and went to the restaurant. That restaurant is located at Pasific Place, next to Ritz Carlton Hotel, and that means...traffic jam!
OK, I knew that there are a lot of cars and motorcycles here in Jakarta, or maybe I should say "over-capacity". I couldn't imagine how's Jakarta in the next 10 years, we would just stuck in one point, locked among the other cars that are stuck there too. Maybe I should move to another city or even country if I already grown up!
2 hours in car with average speed not more than 40 km/hour, I guess? That's crazy! And then we arrived there and met our families and relatives. Not all of our relatives came here because it was for close family only. 2 hours later, we finished but my parents were still chit-chatting with my uncles and aunts. I just sat there, listening (but don't understand what they are talking about), and just waiting...
Okay, about 1 hour later we came home and still....stuck in a big traffic jam. Arrived at home at 9 pm but decided not to sleep until 12 am, it brings good luck, you know?
THE NEXT DAY
Happy New Year everyone! Woke up at..7 am? Get ready and dressed and...I'm totally different than the "usual" me that you used to see everyday at school. I bet, if I accidentally meet someone out there, they will not recognize me! First, we went to my mom's family's house. And you know what? It was so boring! My cousin from my mother's side are alllll boys, I only got 1 female cousin, and the rest are boys. About 9 boys, 5 of them are at the same age with me, but still, I can't talk a lot with them...
Then, we went to my grandmother's house from my father's side. After that, we went to our relative's house and it was really tiring. I arrived home at 9.30 pm and I was freaking tired! But...that's okay, I got a lot of money!! Gonna save it in the bank...I wish everyday is Chinese New Year, isn't that fun?!
