[clemy, me, raphael before mass]


[on the way to church with Manuel and Clemy]

We went to church to attend mass on December 24th, the 3.30 p.m. mass in Cathedral. We went in two cars and fetched Aunt Ellen to join the big family of Kusnoto (from my mum’s side). It was my first afternoon mass on Christmas but it was okay cuz I wasn’t in the mood to see anyone anyway. I only met Andri ‘Bamz’ (and I wanted to see him dunno why).

Then after mass we all had dinner at D’Cost Sukajadi and what surprised us the most was the cost! Well, it shouldn’t surprise us anyway cuz it was supposed to be cheap by its name but our meal cost only Rp25.000,-/person for super big feast. How cheap was that?

Our Christmas day was spent mostly in Dago zip code. By 8 a.m. we woke up and got a flash preparation and went to Taman Ir. H. Juanda by car and we walked to Curug Omas, Maribaya, through the Dutch Cave (Gua Belanda). We walked for total about 4 hours and around 10 km back and forth. The trip was fun; nobody had taken bath and it was totally refreshing cuz the forest smell is so delightful.

[lift the trunk so we can pass under it]

We enjoyed the green scenery around us. Even Oma, whom turned 73 this year, enjoyed the journey too. She led our trip without any nag. And we arrived at the waterfall by around 11.30, took some pictures then went back to the car park. Little that I can share with you here cuz it was natural experience.

When we got back, we had lunch at Dago Tea Huis and had nasi bakar there before home. After an hour or so of rest we went again to The Valley cuz we’ve reserved the seats already. We had a nice Christmas feast there cuz the air in The Valley is a true Christmas atmosphere. And we continued the party at home. We sang some songs of karaoke at our new living room (or call it as TV room).

I had so much fun this Christmas season with family cuz I love my family so much. And I feel so free of any burden so this is the best Christmas ever… so far. Thanks God!
