New Years

My dad decide that we go and see my grandmother in Sukabumi for new years, my mom asked Yoko to come along. It was kind of spontaneous, so it was hard to find hotels with 5 rooms available for new years. Although, as I was the one who in charged of hotel reservation, it took 12 phone calls to finally found a hotel that can accommodate 9 people. It was set that we would travel from my parents house around 8 in the morning on 31 December with the estimation that we would arrived in Sukabumi around noon. (Considering traffic)

Just the night before we departed from Jakarta, my father told me that apparently his friend already make a reservation for the whole family to stay at one of the hotel in Salabintana. So, when we arrived at my granny’s house, some of us have to check in at the hotel, and some stayed at grannies. New years with my mother’s family actually wasn’t quiet what I expected, usually all grand children will come and stayed, but this year, only a couple of cousins showed up. Anyways, it’s the right time to introduce my boyfriend to my grand mother. Sukabumi was so packed; I can’t believe that the traffic was so bad; it took nearly an hour from our hotel to the restaurant.
After spending new years eve at grannies, we went back to our hotel, and open a bottle of Chivas (teddy bought it from the hotel management) and a couple bottle of beers, we ended up went to bed around 4 am in the morning.

I woke up with a massive headache, and rush in to shower, as my dad already getting himself ready to go back to my grannies house for lunch before heading back to Jakarta.
On the way to my grannies, we stopped by at the famous porridge place in Sukabumi called Bunut’s Porridge. People said going Sukabumi without eating that porridge wouldn’t be complete. Anyway, It was a great new years ever!
