Yoshh!
Finally, today we hold the Diplomatic Reception to celebrate the 62nd Anniversary of Indonesian Independence Day....After so many hassles in the past 3 weeks (I happened to be in charge for all invitations...guess how many are coming..yup...more than 500 people...udah kayak kondangan yak....). It is held in the Ambassador`s Residence, in the back of our embassy...
Considering it is in Japan, well, the guests have already come at around 6 pm...while the invitation is from 6.30...The guests keep coming and coming until the house was so packed with people...High dignitaries--Ambassadors, CEOs and Chairman from well-known Japanese companies, Directors and DGs from government ministries, and high-profile media moguls were mixed in a large groups that occupied every space in the residence....The sound of kecapi played by Indonesian students filled the joyous atmosphere, blended with the warm welcome of Indonesian Ambassador and madame, and the staffs of the embassy....The professional waiter and waitresses--hired from the famous Imperial Hotel--kept serving the foods and each champagne and various kind of drinks kept flowing to the guests....It was a nearly perfect night...not even a single drop of rains can ruin this evening....
However, wait.....at around 7.30, at the peak of hours, suddenly some lights in Wisma went out! Gosh....! It was nearly dark in the backyard garden, in which the food were served and it was also in the main hall, where the Ambassador greeted and received the guests! After almost half an hour, the lights still went off, and it turned out that, the Wisma couldnt bear such a huge electricity (there were additional lamps stationed in the garden)....
Well, aside of this, I`d rather said, unfortunate moment, the party was running smoothly, no major hassles, and each guests seemed enjoying this lovely evening....and, thanks to Madame Dewi Sukarno, who came as one of the guests, the party became more interesting, as many guests were eager to take pictures with her...and of course, me too, hehehe!
Its getting late now, I should take a rest....
Kyou wa....hontou ni tsukaremashita...demo, tanoshikatta desu ne....Gokurosamadeshita....
