Clustered Chaos [MY SILLY GOOFY HOLIDAY]

What a start.

Mid-terms holiday started, and I had some plans on how to spend my holiday. I wanted to go out and hang out with my friends, no matter old, or new. I wanted to go and play some Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with my friends. Maybe host a tournament. Something to freshen the mood. 

    Unfortunately, my friends had plans of their own; some of them went with their family, others had more things going on for them. So then I got stuck. I didn't know what I wanted to do, nor how I wanted to spend this holiday, since my plans basically revolves around if my friends could hang out with me.

    Thankfully, Pelangi showed up and texted me she wanted to go ice-skating. She asked the entire class to join. Thank god, I can actually have fun.

    We decided to go on a weekday. Since it's the end of the year, things are about to get crowded if we waited any longer. Besides, the tickets were so much cheaper on weekdays. We decided to go on Monday. Or tuesday. Or .. I honestly forgot. BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY ON A WEEKDAY. We got to PVJ at noon-ish, around 1-2 pm, and we finally went to the ice-skating rig after waiting in a long line full of other people wanting to skate.

    Me, Pelangi, Alya, Dave, Kinar, Michelle, and Dzaky went together. The only obvious difference between us 7 is the fact that they can't skate, while I can. Everytime one of them falls or slips over the ice, I couldn't help but wheeze as I speed my way through a hoarde of people struggling to keep their balance. It's mean, but it's so funny. I kinda flexed on them with my skating skills, it's actually hilarious to see their irritated faces glaring at me. No one knew I was actually a decent skater heheh.

The place was huge, it's the biggest ice-skating rig we have in bandung(because it's the only one we got here.) It was surrounded by glass, so we could see the outside view. It's placed in the middle of the upper floor where theres grass outside, birds in cages, and cats in an ice cream shop. Inside, there were plastic seal toy vehicles, plastic penguin toy helpers, and side-rails to help amateur/new skaters keep themselves balanced on the sidelines. Basically it feels like we're in an ice dome. I could skate around for hours. There's also a place for parents to stay and relax while they watch their kids have fun skating. 

or fall trying.

    Anyways, while we were in the ice-skating rig, there were some other people who got in too, since it's a public ice-skating rig. Now there was this one lady, who was also as bad of a skater as Pelangi. BUT her hair was amazing. She had such a cool hairstyle that Me, Alya, and Pelangi IMMEDIATELY noticed and pointed out. Alya wanted to introduce herself to her. Pelangi did too. I was a bit hesitant but it would be a lie to say that I wasn't interested to try and start a conversation with the cool lady.

    

    Alya, however, decided that she couldn't take it anymore. SHE WENT TO THE STRANGER, AND ASKED HER NAME. Like, my anxious-self would never. I was curious though, so I went with her. Pelangi joined too. Anyways, the 4 of us somehow got to a point where we exchanged instagram accounts, along with 2 of her equally-cool friends. Then we all took a picture together.

Old friends.

After that, I kinda basically just did nothing in the span of like 2 days after we skated. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I got a call from my friend's mom. For context; I've known this guy since we were basically diapers. We've known each other for a really long time. His name is Dimas. You're probably so confused right now HAHHAHAHAH. But yeah, his nickname is actually Dimas. Anyways his mom called me and told me that she bought partial ownership of a billiards company, and asked me if I was free to try out the facility, while also hanging out with her son. I said, "Absolutely." Who wouldn't want to play pool for free? 

    She said it would be more fun if we asked more of our friends to come, so I reached out to some other friends of mine(and His) to come join us hanging out. So then we decided on a date and time, and off we go.

    Me, Dimas(other dimas), Rais(yes, that Rais from X3), Zomnix(an 11th grade student at a school without bahasa sunda in it's curriculum), Rafi(honorary billing student), Rexco(my cousin), Zikra(another old friend from elementary.), and Zextac(my other very lovable cousin.) decided that we wanted to go and play together. But, rafi decided to bail because he was sick. 

I love hanging out with old friends and catching up. It really is a fun time and you can never go wrong with chilling while talking about what we've all missed out on while we were apart.

Also, Dimas actually moved out of Bandung starting Senior High and is staying (and studying) at Jateng, specifically Kudus, because he wanted to pursue his art education at a very established art school there. So I was really happy I got to meet him again in Bandung.

    Overall this hangout session with all of my friends was really fun. We got to talk, play billiards, get free food, joke on each other, bully each other, all the things we couldn't do the past year or so. I forgot to mention Arif is here too but I'm not gonna delete an entire paragraph to rewrite him into the story. So I'm gonna put him here haha. Arif is in the same school as Rafi.

The billiards place was decent, it was really well-constructed and clean. I loved playing there, though it would be a lie to say that I didn't get tired. Billiards is pretty draining despite how simple it looked. The billiards table was blue, and there were employees helping us set the ball everytime we finished a match. The floor was fully carpet, but we didn't have to take off my shoes to play there. There were sofas on the sides, tables, and seats to sit on and rest, or to relax and eat food that we ordered from the employees. We were on the second floor, and part of the entire building was just see-through glass, and we could see mostly part of dago from there. It was a really beautiful sight when the sun set.

I'm glad I got to have fun with my friends there.
