sunday trip to minahasa

we came into the lower section of the chapel, which consist of many columns, so we played along :D i think the accidental leg poses makes this all funnier hehehhehe

it was jessi's bday few days ago, so i thought to...celebrate and take some pictures on a nice spot..
.......
there goes one of my very much regretted action, for i had totally forgotten the custom here about birthday celebration T___________________________________T
*whine alert*

since at KL and singapore... i got used to the custom of celebrating birthday together, happy taking pictures together, then shared a meal together, paying together.

and also at singapore, going out with juwita and friends, they always celebrate friends' bday together with a piece of cake and candle and birthday song, then lunch or dinner together and paying on our own. everybody is happy.

so me with my thoughts i prepared an apple and paper candle, and brought it out while we are at a pretty site, (and luckily we have it all to ourselves after a while hanging around) and sing a song and take pictures. just as i had imagine it should be.

but little did i remembered at that point of time T__________T the indonesian custom of birthday celebration until we arrived at a coffee shop for it's pork bun. actually non of us really tease her about paying up but she took the bill and it wasn't cheap. the bun are crazily expensive T_____________T i felt really really really really really guilty about all of this....

i also forgotten...perhaps people here dont really like to celebrate belated birthday. and by me exposing hers in front of everybody made her felt responsible for the bill T____________T i really am sorry about it......

then secondly. our friend who brought his car and drove all the way for almost 10 hours refuse to take our petrol money. come on... it wasn't the money issue or i look down on you, but i truly felt it was a sense of participation... i dont like the idea of getting free ride T________________T and for me to initiate the money collection...i feel truly paiseh to the rest of the guys.... coz it seems that they aren't used to that idea either, so either way i felt truly guilty and awkward :((((((((((((((((( haiz...

different place, different custom.

anyway, continue.

this one...my girlfriend..totally looks like the head gangster with a group of bodyguards hahahaha

this one..lol...we was on a very dimly lit tunnel, with only this spot have a hole on top of the ceiling, shedding some rays into the room, then the guys goes excited and tried few poses, which turns out as if they are waiting for coins to drop down from the sky
