Nathan's Baptism & House Party

This morning we went to Nathan’s Baptism (Ming & Evy’s son) at St. Dominick Church at 10 am, quite early for us compared to our regular Saturdays (that’s why we were a few minutes late). The ceremony was about 40 minutes, then after pictures taken, some of the guests went home and some went to Betti’s house for lunch. How about me? Of course I’d come to Betti’s house.
I went to Betti’s house by myself after I dropped Didi off. There waayy too many food for just 20 of us. The foods were: Nasi Uduk, Fried Noodle, Fried Chicken, Spinach w/ garlic, Walnut Prawns and Sweet & Sour Pork. Even though I couldn’t eat most of them, I still managed to stuff myself. I was impressed with my capability to do that.
And for dessert, Maryani and Maya made bubur kacang ijo, hhmmmm yummy!!
We were at Betti & Bill’s house until around 4 pm. And you know what, even though they had a lot of left over, but we managed to clean them up, YUP, TO GO is the key word. I was jokingly said the food that I took was actually for the tsunami victims.
I got home around 4-ish, and called people around to know what their plan for tonight. And Novi and me managed to get 16 people to have dinner together at local Chinese Rest. called 8 Immortal. This rest. is a local favorite, which is cheap, and the food is quite good. When my parents were here, they always wanted to go to this rest. for lunch, after we went to church on Sundays. They just loved that place, even though they were here for 3-4 months, they never got bored. Sundays is 8 Immortal day.

So who showed up for dinner? Me & Didi, Novi & Steve, Rudy & Ivon, Greg, Aldi and his friend (sorry, forgot his name), Valen & Irene, Fersan, Reza, Alvin, Sandy and Andry, Novi’s brother who literally just arrived from NY.
After dinner Reza asked a question, who were up for drink, and oh well, I raised my hand. And Novi added, she didn’t care where we were going to have it, the place doesn’t have to be fancy, as long as there’s alcohol, she’d be there. Yeah!! That’s the spirit girl!!
Then we decided to have it at our place. Cool!! Reza, Alvin & Andry brought 1 full bottle of Vodka, Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, Tequila, and we provided Cognac, Bailey, Whiskey & Gin. Alvin acted as our bartender, mixed simple drinks, such us screwdriver or just Whiskey & Coke.
Valen-Irene, Aldi & his friends left at around 11.30, then Rudi-Ivon & Ajas showed up around midnight. Some of us stayed in the living room watched TV and the hardcore drinkers (Greg, Fersan, Novi, Me, Didi, Reza, Alvin, Andry) talked standing up in the dining room, munched pumpkin seed (weird huh?) and kept drinking. The stories are getting funny and funnier. Loots of shots!! I said something weird, which made everybody (Greg especially) laughed and of course I didn’t remember a thing. We talked in the dining room until about 2 am. Novi, Steve & Greg left around 2 am too.

The rest of the group stayed until around 3 am, we watched Double Take (not sure who brought the video) and we kept rewinding one particular scene, which at that time was hilarious. We just laughed until we all had tears, especially when Reza didn’t realize that he hit Didi with his broken arm, and after that he was in grateful pain. And we just laughed. What a cruel crowd!! When they left, me and Didi watched them from our Apt which in the 2nd Floor, and we saw Reza laughed and lied down on the sidewalk, because of what Andry did. Eeeuuuuu….Yuck!!
Didi had a major major headache that night; ooh well he drank too much and mixed drinks too. I was fine because I stopped after a few shots. Ooh gosh, what a great house party. Hopefully we don’t do this every month.
