Memories from my 17th Birthday Party

I finally found the CD that contained some of my 17th birthday party photo..

If there is a bitter sweet experience i think this definetly is..  Will write more in detail later, but..

Meanwhile, enjoy the photo! :)

18th March 2006, Hotel Horizon, Semarang..

This is me..

This birthday party was planned in a rush, around 2 weeks before the date. My school has a fund-raising concert going on my birthday (March 17th), and I'm serving as vice comittee,  so the birthday has to be postponed one day.

The theme was "Zorro" and Basically we made it like a mexican theme, all the performers, clothes, and dances.. (Although I don't think my dress is colourful enough)

This is the dancers helping as as the "short-walking" before I entered the place..

At first the event organizer said that it will be awesome if the "Zorro" pull me up on the dancing.. I REFUSE it.. First, I barely knew the guy! Second, I realize, I'm heavy!! (Even though I am heavier now)..

By the way, look at the dancers' colourful outfit..!

Oh and I did mentioned about the concert before, right? This is the picture of some of the performers.. "Rising Star".. The concert was quite successful.. There were Bobby "One Way", Edward Chen, and these guys. One thing I learnt from that experience, artists are unique. Being a LO is NOT an awesome job..

Followings are the pictures of the attendees.. People who crossed my life.. :)

Lesson learned:

As i mentioned, I'm not really a party-girl type. I still felt sorry for "forcing" my parents to held this party.. All i could say, this is one un-nessesary thing, which make me happy AT THAT TIME, but after a few days, no happiness left..

Why I fell bad:

• I had people who barely even knew me in school asking for the invitation card, just because it's held in a hotel!
• I had people leaving when they know the party is not a party with loud music etc!
• I had my self fell bad knowing that the church service at that time lacking personels at the camera team because they're either coming at my party or helping (working) at my party!
• I felt disapointed at the EO for choosing certain performances (clowns at 17th birthday party?)which ended making my friends bored and complained.. (I did asked them to stop it before the situation getting worse.. I won't choose that as well if I knew it was that bad)

The EO was really helpful.. They offer cheap price.. They listened what I want, they come to my house..  They are new on the market, and I knew them from church, these guys are lovely. Maybe, it's just that I wasn't a party lover, and so my decision was not good enough..

The party COST A LOT! I felt bad at my parents as well, knowing how much money they have to let go :(

And.. my dad loses his expensive shirt on the hotel room!

Why I held a party?

I think, i just want to be exsist at that time.. The pressure of knowing friends who celebrated their 17th birthdays.. The pressure of feeling not-worthed if you're not celebrating it in a HUGE way.. And I think it's mostly because my own pride, wanted to prove that I can have a party? (I'm being silly)..

And so.. thats why i decided to held it.. :(

Lesson learned:

Always think twice...!

I love how my parents do not stopped me from choosing the bad decision like this, to make me learn how to choose wisely.. (I knew they might be looking at me anxiously knowing how much they spent for giving me such lesson)

Oh well.. I love my dad and mom, and my sister..

<3

Ohhh.. And I realize.. I do love more private celebration.. Dinner with friends you really care about are much better than parties.. :D

Have I told you.... I love you?

On my birthday.. I felt blessed!

So, March 17th 2011, was my 22nd birthday.. I felt old haha..
But this one actually a really great one.. It started with a birthday card, from my parents 3 days before.. haha..

When i got a call from a woman from SingPost, i thought.. wow, Rondhi just sent the gelaskin on thursday! That's super fast! FYI, i ordered a Kina Grannis Street Team gelaskin for my iphone, and Rondhi helped on the purchase for every one.. :)

But then, i saw the mail, and it was from my parent! So cute.. They never do such thing.. usually, only a call, saying happy birthday dear, and money is sent for treating friends dinner or something :D

I cried a bit. I missed them. and actually wanted to be with my family. My sister is having exam, and so i'll be alone in my bday..

Little did i know.. on 16th March, 23:50, a very good friend of mine, shinta, was chatting with me.. Another good friend, samuel, is also on skype chat with me.. Then at 23:59, sam congratulate me. And i said to him, i'm tired, and going to sleep asap. But then, shinta asked me to accompany her to grab some drinks from vending machine downstairs.. I'm tired, but i thought, well, accompany her wouldn't kill me or something.

So there i go.. After taking drinks, she said, "lets go to the food vending.. I'm hungry".. I thought "oh well.. okay.."

So we went to the other vending machine. Then, she started to act weirdly :p A suspicious mind come over me. I punched the lift button, but she's not moving to the lift, and she open the lounge door. It was dark..

And suddenly "happy birthday to you.. happy birthday to you.." and lights turned on..

I found out that my sister is there! and also all my friends, including Jess and Maria who lived far from where i stayed.. I felt blessed! Thankful for such a great friends I have..

We have a really good time, they put facemask on my face with creams from the cake.. (no pics, sorry) :p

We ate KFC, noodles, and cakes..

Diet is ruined, but it's all good..

I love my life.. God's been so good..! I felt blessed!!!
