Hide and Seek

It was the start of Ramadhan holidays. A 12-days holiday. To have fun? Or to prepare for the upcoming examination? Only a strong determination and perseverance will do the latter^^

For us, the 1st day only has one word attached to it --- fun, fun, and FUN!!!=)
The girls, as stereotyped, wanted to do some sports to shed the extra fat off. That was the reason behind the plan to play basketball and swim afterwards. And again, as stereotyped, for the girls, doing sports under the sun’s scorching ‘stare’ is a big NO*___*. Which pushed the basketball-swimming plan to a late afternoon, or should I say, an early evening?

As always, plans never go as they are…err…planned. After all the rush preparations, swimsuits, goggles, change clothes, sandals, sport shoes, towels, and toiletries in a sport bag, we headed to our destination. Eventhough the journey took us more than an hour, we were hopeful of the cold water waiting for us. Then, the unexpected arrived. All the facilities were closed for the holidays!! Why? Maybe because the whole university is closed. Or maybe simply because there were no cleaners willing to miss out the biggest holiday in Indonesia. Sigh~

Disappointed, we brainstormed for other alternatives. Imperial Sports Club? Expensive (if caught, since we were actually planning to sneak=P ). Viper? Eww~ dirty, muddy, slimy swimming pools? Not a chance. Amartha Pura Apartment? Possible except going home with a drenched hair and chlorine-smelling body wasn’t an option. After a brief 10 minutes, we came up with a change of plan. Riding bicycles and jogging at Chintia’s housing complex. Sounds err…gr…great. Actually, it was better than sitting down at Coffee Bean and storing up fat instead of burning it.

Guess what?! One of the two bikes tires were flat!!*___* By the time we have finished complaining and all, the sun has almost set in. Then, we came up with an even brilliant idea --- hide and seek.

The location was suitable, considering the houses have no gates, leaving the beautiful garden and cars-filled garages open. The lighting was perfect --- just enough orange, dim, street lights. Lastly, the neighborhood was ideal --- quiet and not crowded. At all.

We hid behind bushes, at the back of cars, and even inside the cars!! Of course, it would be one of our cars^^ At one time, hiding, behind a car parked at a garage, I imagined how funny it would be if the owner of the house opened the garage door, to find three sweaty, anxious-looking people squatting down near his/her car!! Hahaha~ Luckily, it didn’t happen. The game would have stopped and we would go home with scoldings and naggings if it did. Phew~

It was never as planned. But it was over-the-sky FUN!! And definitely something we hadn’t done before =) The almost-2-hour trip wasn’t a waste after all~

Happy Holidays!!^____^
