Well Spent Day

It is the year end again. The only exciting thing about it is the holidays, Christmas & New Year. Though my family doesn't celebrate Christmas, we used to camp in the the hse of our only relative who celebrates Christmas and then have family gathering on the new year's eve. Stucked in this island of gods called Bali for the past few years, those holidays mean we friends go out to have some good food and have fun as family is an ocean apart. We try to have some real fun like going out on a roadtrip in bikes with friends to suppress the homesick. But this year, nothing similar is planned so far.

But yesterday I had a great day. One of my senior who's learning dance with me leaving for good to Msia after her graduation which is in a fortnight. So, she wanted to make us, the dance teacher and other dancers dinner as she did her last performance in Bali couple days ago. Yesterday, she cooked us dinner in our teacher's house. The menu is all chinese indian vegetarian as 2 of the guests are vegetarian. I helped her personally to do marketing in the morning and to cook in the evening.

We had multiracial guests last night. Our teacher is from India and we have dancers from Bali, Ecuador, Japan & us from Malaysia. Multiracial, multicultural & multi language ! Though their style of cooking is different, they had no problem trying the dishes we prepared and yes, they liked it !! It was the biggest compliment for our chef come doctor last night.

Then for the rest of the evening, we had some get to know other country session as we had 5 countries at hold. We all sang some songs from our motherland & in our own mother tongue. Then, as it started raining cats and dogs outside, teacher played an english hindi movie for us to sit back and relax while waiting for the rain to subside. Later yesterday though my senior and I left when the rain stopped, we were drenched as it started pouring again on the way back. It was just a spontaneous well spent day but it embedded memories no money could buy !!
