Red & White Celebration

Happy Independence Day ^-^ the country was full of various activities today, starting with the early morning flag raising ceremony by the President at the Presidential area. Then followed with activities around the neighbourhood, like games of the fastest cracker eating contest, fastest runner in a goony sack, fastest runner with spoon hold by the mouth with a marble put on top, etc. The day was full of eventful culture. Well anyway not only Indonesia who celebrated its independence day, but my uncle do too :D
Today it’s his 60th birthday as well… ^^ to mark the 60th he made a special dinner at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Everybody was invited, from family, friends and even those from America came to celebrate his birthday. Before dinner there was a mass to thank the night and all the blessing through this day. Thank You, God :) Then dinner began accompanied by a home band. The band was excellent their choice of music just can’t make me sit still :P There was a dance floor as well; too bad nobody was dares to dance in front. I wanted to, but just don’t know how to do a ballroom dance. Too bad huh?! Maybe I should start learning one. M, I miss our lesson by your house T-T

'to mark the opening "Here, we present... The Food Parade"'

'while enjoying the food, birthday boy giving his thank you speech'

'followed by main course-superb combination'

'another in between meals, video presentation, testimonial by the children. Very touching T-T'

'Lifetime KTP (id card) great nobody can guess gift:D'
