HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY TO MACHIKO MANGA SCHOOL!

Last night me and everyone else connected to Machiko Manga School were invited to their anniversary celebration at this cozy traditional Indonesian restaurant, Sampan Matsuda Sentra. It was located on Jalan Teuku Cik Ditiro 2 no. 1. The Indonesian "kuring" seafood cuisine and traditional-themed interior was pretty nice but what really topped off the entire evening was the fact that they had a number of Indonesian dance performances during the meals. It was pleasant and "definitely" lively. Eating, drinking (no alcohol involved!), dancing and playing angklung???!!! How did those last 2 get in?

What happened was after the dance performances, the dancers went off stage to offer their guests an opportunity to learn the Jaipong (Sundanese) and dangdut (dangdut IS the music of my country indeed :P) dance. Thus I got dragged onstage, the same male dancer asked me twice to go onstage and dance with him. Anyway it was real fun, after missing out on a lot of those gym and club visits ... suppose it was a great change of pace. We had a ball indeed, and unfortunately a few of my friends had those onstage performances on record -___-;; Potential blackmail items! BAD BAD news for me!!

So it was great and pleasant. Never thought playing angklung could be so much fun ^__^
