7th EMO Gathering

Dear Ally,

As you asked me before, i'm going to give you my side story about this gathering and about the mini gathering too :)

First, the 7th gathering that held on Dec 22, 2007.
I wake up around 6:00 (too lazy to wake up early), taking a bath, make breakfast and eat (instant noodle with eggs), and time showing 6:55. So i call the travel agent and ask if i can get more time (injury time? hahaha). Knowing that i can't get it, they offer me to move to the next shuttle (8am). So, here i am, in the shuttle at 8am, listening to music that played from mp3 player, and continue reading Anansi Boys.
After a while, i feel sleepy so i close the book and sleep. That time you call me but i hear it not. :D Around 10:30 i arrived at the travel agent office in kelapa gading, waiting for taxi, and continue reading Anansi Boys, and get an sms from smartie, saying: Smartie calling for raina. Where on the earth are you now.
Haha, so i inform her that i've arrived in kelapa gading and sliding directly to Shiki's house. After a few chitchat with the taxi driver, i arrived at Shiki's house, finding Cammo and Greendoplet are packaging gift from elex for us ^___^b
A bit chitchat then Tikyut and friends are coming (still waiting for Smartie and the rest). That time, we start playing twister twice (me and shiki aren't joining the game), play uno card (i'm the winner yahoo!), and play uno stack (tikyut lost). When smartie and the rest arrived, we gather around, make a circle (a big one) and start an introduction session). That time you call and get big and noisy HELLO from everybody there. :D
After a bit chitchat there, the big group is soon break into two. First, the large one, consist of tikyut and friends, newbies, cammo, etc are hanging around shikis's front room while shiki, smartie, laa laa, meow, and me are playing in shiki's bedroom ^___^v
Lunch lunch lunch! ran chan cook for us. He cook salad and pasta. Taste nice. And shiki's mom cook us meatballs! After fill my stomach with lots of foods, i feel so full so i kick my body to shiki's bed, lay down there for a while while the other still have fun here and there.
Oh hey, i forgot to mention our Oma, Cippy! She cames very late at noon because of Cathy West. Hearing the story from smartie (let smartie or cippy herself told you about this), i get a bit irritated with this cathy girl. So when she come into shiki's bedroom, i ask her shortly: why you came so late like this?
With a bit shamefull smile, she answer: Err, ketiduran (what's the english word for this? well, wake up late, that's the point). And i move my head a bit lower and shake it right to left slowly without any word come from my mouth and with a pale illfill smile on my face as a respon to her answer. Hope it can be a lesson for her :P
Well, the reason i stay in shiki's bedroom and not gather with those guys outside is... because i fell not comfortable around them. Too much fun isn't good for an old lady? Lolz it's not that. Just... i feel more fun and relax and at home in shiki's bedroom, among those senior member that i've known pretty well :D
Most of them start to go to elex showroom while smartie, meow, cippy and me still at shiki's house. Shiki and ran chan drive us to find taxi, then we drop smartie and meow at elex showroom, while me and cippy continue our journey to cippy's house.
For the first time, at last! i try busway! Yippie! hihihihi..... And cippy treat me greenbean porridge (green bean as kacang hijau, not buncis. correct me if i'm wrong). Planning to finish reading Anansi tonight but after receiving a phone from friend, i'm too lazy to open my eyes so i continue to sleep until morning :D

Mini gathering at Taman Anggrek, Dec 23, 2007
Arriving at TA at 11:05, we directly go to gramedia and hunting for books. I found 3 books there, celestine propechy (book one from a trilogy by james redfield), peebe (a bookstory for children, for my niece), and skip beat vol10.
I haven't collect skip beat, any of them. But suddenly cammo ask me if i want to collect them. He already bring skip beat 1-8 (unless no.7) and i only need to find the rest by myself. Hmm... thinking this month is my lucky month, i say yes and buy his skip beat and buy skip beat no.10 at gramedia too.
Queueing at the cinema, we have a nice chitchat, not like yesterday, though akucu bring her friend that, again... like Seiren, tikyut's friend. T_T After they buy the ticket, we go to popeyes, having lunch together. And then Ephi Ong, today's star has arrived! You know what, she forget about today thou she told me previously that she already put today in her schedule T_T
She bring me a gift, a clear mini bag that i might use as CD bag ^___^v Thanks ephi :)
And imel come too, directly from the church. She brought me mangascans in a cd while yesterday i already get a song cd and several pics from shiki ^___^v
Waiting for several of us that watching cinema, me, shiki, ran chan, hime chan, cippy, and imel walk around TA and guess what i find there?! Nodame cantabile no.8 and skip beat no.7 and no.9, exactly as i need! Woohooo, i've told you this is my lucky month. Hehehe...
After another fun and happy chitchat there at TA, we part, and leave to cippy house again.
This time i make sure i read Anansi a bit and having chitchat with cippy until 30 minutes before midnight.

Sleeping that late in exhausted condition, makes us lazy to wake up early. Yet, my friend calls me at 6:30, shouts: wake up, wake up, it's morning already!
Grrrr.... i still sleepy, i said. But i continue talk to him and facing Anansi Boys and talk to cippy at the same time ;)
After a while, my friend said: Go on, sleep again, continue your sleep. So, there i am, sleep again until hmm... 10:30 *blushing*
Going downstairs, having breakfast, taking a bath, then leaving to cyber cafe, writing this, and in ten minutes, we'll off to hunt more books. Don't ask me where, ask cippy ^___^;
So.... see you next time :)

your beloved partner,
