star-crossed melodies

Do you know the Indonesian word for that title? Well, if you do, then you should know what this writing is all about.

It was Saturday night when the dead-body-society decided to go out after a long time of no going out together, all of us. We were planning on getting some grub…or dinner someplace new. Been a while since the last time we were actually spending some time together and had lectures from the ‘master’. Unfortunately, that night, the ‘master’ was unable to join us since he had a ‘project’. Yeah, that’s what happened when a lecturer has projects. He ended up abandoning his ‘loyal students’ for the ‘project’. And why am I using so many quotes-unquotes? Ah well, if you know what I mean…what kind of people have projects during saturday nights? You seek the answer, within your own wisdom.

First thing was, we go eat. [Light-so-dead-body] recommend this place around Sukajadi called D’COST. So we actually went there. And I have to say, the food were cheap! I mean, you get all-you-can-eat-rice only for 1000 rups. Come on, in an ordinary foodshack around Simpang Dago, you have to pay at least 2000 rups to get a cup of rice. In D’COST, you can get as much as you want of rice! And for half the price also!

Same goes for the drink. Let’s just take sweet-ice-tea, a very standard drink many restaurants serve. For a glass of it, you only have to pay 500 rups while in most restaurants it varies around 1500 to more than 2000 rups! I don’t know about the other food. But I think it’s quite cheap also. And FYI, this restaurant serves mainly seafood. And oh, [Tie-toe] was so worked up over the special menu served there…The Super Giant something something Crab with Singapore Sauce whatsoever. He really wanted to try it out. But it was quite expensive as it was 90000 rups! I bet it’s totally jumbo sized crab. Kewl! Anyway, the food was good (and cheap) and then we hang out for a bit before we go to our next destination which was Paris Van Java.

Just after we arrived at Paris Van Java, we just remember that it was Liverpool versus Manchester United live from Anfield that night! So we went straight to MU cafe nearby to watch the match after a long stroll looking for parking spot which was really hard to find since, yeah we know, it was saturday night. It was very crowded at the cafe as there were so many people watching. Strangely enough, there were as much as Liverpool fan as it was MU back there in the cafe. I mean, it was MU cafe, but I think there were slightly more Liverpool’s fan than the MU’s itself. Anyway, the match was very intriguing, after Scholes was red-carded in the last minutes of the game, MU scored the only goal during the injury time. To be beaten 0-1 in their own home stadium, during last minutes of the match…must be hurt for Liverpool kehehe. Well, maybe they’ll do better against Barcelona…they must.

Nothing much about Paris Van Java…except…one shocking moment for every one of us just before we decided to go home. We met a friend, and old friend from back then junior high school. She was wearing veil, and pregnant, which made us surprised as the image was very different from the same person we had known back then in junior high.

Of course, while most of us was pretty surprised, the one who was shocked the most was probably [Tie-toe]. Me, I just thought of things, of how things changed.

t’Was pretty weird that, during our driving before going to Paris Van Java, we were talking about changes, of how some of our friends have either married and have child(dren). And there it was, like, some sort of final conclusion of our discussion that night, that God showed us the sign, that everything had moved on, with the appearance of that old friend of ours.

Well, we called it a night then, as [Undress-so-dead-body] take us home one by one.

Oh yeah, as of who joined us (the dead-body’s-society) during that saturday night hang out, these are the names of the people presented at that time:

[Undress-so-dead-body]
[Die-K-so-dead-body-junior]
[I-won-gambling]
[Light-so-dead-body]
[Tie-toe]
[Me-me-and-me]
and our special guest appearance as guest-lecture substituting [Gunner-master-of-engagement] is [McDonalds-clown-code]
