norma's indonesian birthday party

my birthday is coming up soon. on friday, i hosted a birthday party at our place--i invited a lot of my new indonesian friends. sonia, a good friend of ours, took all of these pictures on her cell phone. 

 sierra holding the only still-living family pet--blackie. 

 s loves blackie!

 w holding blackie in a funny position.

 a candid shot.

 some not-so-candid shots.




 w loves taking selfies. 

 w thinks he looks tough in this moto shot. 

 s laughs when she sees this picture.

 s and sonia playing with sonia's comb.



 lots of group shots. 

 about to cut the birthday cake that ibu danny made for me. 

 

 s showing off her new becak shirt.

 i love w's doting look.

 yea!

 blowing them out.

 lots of birthday singing. they sang in english and then several verses of the indonesian birthday song. 




 opening up the terang bulan. oh i love terang bulan! (the fruit on the right side of the table is duku--the duku was a big hit. it was almost all gone by the end of the party. the bananas were another story--there were a lot of those left over.)

 i wasn't sure how to start the lighter. clearly, i'm not a smoker.

 left to right: anis, ibu dewi, sister tutti's daughter, sister jati's daughter (the little one), sister tutti's other daughter, sister tutti, sister jati, widap, me, s, farah (sister imma's daughter), sister budi, w, sister titi, ibu danny, and sister titi's son. (not pictured is sister lily and sonia, who's taking the picture.)

 the cake ibu danny made was delicious. chocolate outside, vanilla inside.

 sonia, me, and sister budi. when budi arrived, she said she figured she could dress casually since i love casual dresses. and i do love casual dresses--i love dasters (note the one i'm wearing). i enjoyed budi's dress, which says HAWAII 77. it reminded me of my sweet brian.
