Holiday Vacation Report?

Greetings.

I decide that’s the new hello for my blog. I could’ve told you why, but I already typed that out in my now-vanished-post and I have zero intention to write it all over again. If you haven’t catch up yet, yes, I’m still mad.

So, this is my holiday vacation report, with no actual vacation to report.

Because I did have a holiday, but I can’t exactly say I had a vacation. Unless you called “staying in bed until noon and read online novels on my phone and/or watching movies on my laptop with occasional trip to the fridge because I’m hungry or bored and to the bathroom so I don’t smell like a beggar” a vacation. Then yes, I did have a vacation.

Wow, I just wrote the whole post right there. Splendid.

Thing is, this report thing is a task, which added to my english score, and I don’t do well on tests, which means I need to step up my tasks. So I can’t exactly do my report in one amazingly long sentence. Not so splendid.

Well, if I need to go into details...

Holiday officially started on Monday, 23rd December 2013, if I recalled correctly. I was estatic. I had passed all the remedials and my report card was not all that bad. So I rewarded myself with the things I couldn’t do when I had school. Being an extreme couch-potato. Or rather, a bed-potato.

I’d admit that was lame.

Anyway, I wasn’t kidding when I told you that the “amazingly long sentence” was the whole story. Because it was, and it is. I did exactly that for like, 4 days, before my mom reminded that I apparently had a life. Surprise.

My grandmother’s birthday was on the 26th of December, which falls on Thursday. So my mom asked me if I wanted to go to Jakarta to visit her, and I said yes, because I was afraid I’d grow a root on my bed, but I said that I have a livestream show I want to watch on Thursday evening and I can’t watch in Jakarta because my grandparent’s house don’t have  any kind of internet related things – as lame as that sounds – and my mom said Okay, since my grandmother didn’t have a party or anything, we could go on Friday, besides, my father was still busy in his office and the driver was only available on Friday anyway. I’m not that bad of a granddaughter.

So we left on Friday instead. We arrived at Jakarta at like, 6 or 7 pm. I greeted my grandmother, gave my birthday greetings, greeted my grandfather, and my other grandmother who had paid my grandmother a visit. We talked until almost midnight.

The next day, we went to Senayan City. Though, I don’t know why. My grandparents had always preferred PIM over basically any kind of mall. No complaints though. We had lunch, and my parents were being extra nice for whatever reasons and let me buy a whole bunch of clothes and jeans. Oh, and I bought these puddings which tasted extra nice. But I left it in my grandmother's fridge. Not amused.

Well, on Sunday we head back to Bandung, because my father had to work on Monday, with my other grandmother (the one who didn’t have a birthday). She spent the rest of the holiday in my house. In Bandung, I resumed my bed-potato habits. Only that I stepped out of my room more often to accompany my Grandma. She cooked me her best meals, meatball soup and puddings (to amend my broken heart for I had left my precious puddings in Jakarta. Cries.). We also went to TSM, we didn't do much, though. She and my mother also went to  some furniture shops or something, I didn’t go.

And soooo yeah, that’s basically it.

Funny notes, I had always stayed up very late during the whole holiday. I literally could only sleep after 2 am, my mother had even gave up on scolding me. But for unknown reason, on New Year’s Eve, I fell asleep at freaking 9.30 pm. Like, are you kidding me. Even my Grandma was still up at that time. Maybe it’s the fact that I stayed at home during New Year’s Eve, only accompanied by televisions and occasional fireworks from the houses behind my home. Pathetic, pathetic, I know. You don't have to re-point it.

So that’s it! I don’t post any picture, because really, I don’t have any. Firstly, I’m way far from being photogenic and secondly, I couldn’t see the art of taking a pic with my laptop. My grandmother and my mom took a few though, maybe I’d update this post with those pics sometimes later.

Until then, Bye!!
