bLep.. bLep.. bLep..

So, last week I held a farewell party at my house (read: tiny apartment). I didn’t count but I think there were more than 30 people who came, so you can imagine how crowded my teeny weeny apartment was! There were friends from inXAnity, IPA A, spectrum, and even IPA C whom I hanged out with in the previous vacation.. But even until 8 or 9, Iwan hadn’t come. I got a bit cranky  about it, even crankier because I hadn’t heard a word from him that day. I thought he was still mad at me because of the argument we had the previous day. So when my friends asked me when will he probably come, I just answered with something like, “I dunno. Ask him. Maybe later. Why should I know?”. So I decided not too think about it further and just enjoy the party.

                                             

Mom was home since Dad’s meeting at Radin Hotel was cancelled, so she couldn’t stay at the hotel with him. But it turned out to be a good thing. A VERRRY good thing indeed, since mom cooked, and cooked, and cooked for all of us. Well Mbak Yam and Mbak Mar too. First to come was breads and buns mom bought at her office. Since everybody was already getting hungry, they straightly went for it and then gulped it happily! Then came the garlic breads. And then the chicken wings. And then the spaghetti with the cheese. And rice with Suharti chickens. And then came the pizza delivery guy bringing with him 8 boxes of medium sized pizza! And later that night, came the lasagna… ^^ Yum.

                                                 

Suddenly Dini called me and the girls and told us that his beloved boyfriend, Faris, was going to see her here. Plus she wanted to buy some stuff at Starmart. So we accompanied her downstairs.. Mainly because we wanted to see his rumouredly cute boyfriend, hehehe. But when we got downstairs, it turned out that Faris hadn’t showed up yet, so we headed to Starmart to buy some candy called ‘Pentile’ (which is oddly shaped like one ;p). Suddenly Rendra called and asked me where I am. So I answered that I was downstairs at Starmart. After that we were heading back to my apartment when we met Rendra and the other IPA C guys on the way. Rendra and Cossa claimed to have a really bad stomachache and needed to go to the bathroom badly. Since they said that both my bathrooms were used, they were going to Putri’s unit in tower 1. They’d go back to my party once their ‘business’ was done. So I said OK. Then we went back to my unit. But when I opened the door, I saw that the living room lights were out and all my friends were gathered tight. And that was when I realized: I was tricked! *_* They told me to sit down in front of them and to turn back facing the table. There was a laptop. And then some kind of movie played. Something flashed in my head, a few days earlier, Iwan asked me,

                                        

“Can your TV be connected to a laptop?”

“I dunno. Why do you ask?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Just asking.”

                                                                

So THIS was what he was planning. It was a movie for me. A movie of all of my friends saying their goodbyes and wishes for me (and their ‘titipan’ ofcourse). It also showed a picture of me when I was little, one when I was about 1-2 years old, one when I was in kindergarten, and several from elementary school, and the rest was taken just a few days before when Iwan brought his camera to school and started to take pictures of me. It turned out that he was shooting my friends with the same camera those days.. No wonder he was a bit hard to find after school and during the break! So he was doing this all along. At the beginning. The music won’t play. So Iwan had to come out from his hiding (it turned out that all along he was hiding near the elevator shaft. Sorry!) to fix the problem. Then the movie rolled again. I watched the movie silently, smiling like a mad man (or woman), and laughed a few times during some scenes. Especially when Anton showed up over and over again. Ahh that narcist fella. I guess I’ll somewhat miss him in England (u too Iwan, don’t be jealous, OK?). The closing scene was Iwan sitting on a chair in the middle of the night,  saying a few words to me (which I couldn’t hear because his sound was so small. Sorry Iwan!). Actually I cried a silent tear during the movie, I just hope nobody saw it (I hate being so sentimental and a crybaby). I’m so lucky to have such good friends J Thank you very much Iwan, it’s probably the best gift I’ve ever had. He stayed up all night making the movie. Double thx. Hhhhh, Iwan, you’re just too nice, don’t you know???

                                                                        

After that my friends told Iwan to say something so he told me it’s up to me how I spend my time there. Whether I have a good time or not, whether a year is fast or not, it’s all up to me. He told me to eat much there since it’s ‘tinggal gesek’.  And after that it’s my turn to speak, but since I really have NO idea of what to say, I finally ended up with an awkward speech.

Then it was free time. Some of my friends went home, some played WE (as usual), some played cards, and some played the computer. The IPA C gang already went home when Rendra and Cossa finally returned (gee, what a stomachache). Not so long after that Iwan went home. I accompanied him to his car since he was carrying a lot of things. Then I went back and had some fun. We chatted all night, went for a walk at the Aston park at 2 am (hearing ‘Bagimu Negeri’ from out of nowhere. Quite spooky, huh?), watch the Omen 2 (but no one seemed to really pay attention), and around 3 am we slept like sardines in the living room (imagine 26 or so people, mostly boys, sleeping in one tiny apartment). As usual, the boys get the couch at the girls get the floor (except for Timor and Mayang wo got the bed). I even had to sleep sitting up. I had a neckpain when I woke up at 5 to do Shubuh prayer *_*. I slept again until about 7.

After we all woke up, suddenly Iphe and Maya came out of nowhere knocking at the door. Then the WE championship started again, some of the girls took showers, and the others had breakfast. Sandwich, fried rice with the Suharti chicken from last night, more garlic bread, and more LASAGNA! After being finally full again, some of the guys went home. A few still remained to finish the WE championship though. After I had a few gossip sessions with Audi, the rest of the gang finally went home at around 12.30 pm. Well actually Kevin still remained. I fell asleep on the sofa and when I woke up at 2.30 pm he was already gone! Sorry Kev! Didn’t mean to.. Finally my little apartment is empty once again (and very VERRY dirty that is)..

                                                                              

Well guysTHAT’S the story of my farewell party! It was such a blast. Well, at least for me J Thx guys for being my friends these past two years. It was the best two years of my life, yet. I’ll never forget u, luv u all. Sorry for all my mistakes these two years.. (dan ikhlasin sgala utang yg gw punya. Hehehe) Oh, and for someone who had to wait at the bridge, sorry for that…
