Dictators' Dine Out

It is still Ramadhan, the month in Islamic calendar where we’re as Muslims are obliged to fast for the whole 30 days of the month. fasting, in this, means that we’re going to have to hold and press all of the desire in ourselves, like the hunger, thirsts, angers, desire to lie and gossip, as well as to hold our desire of being too close to the opposite sex. You know what I mean, hehehehe….. All of those basic human desire we would have to hold from the sun rises until the sun sets.. so there’s a ritual, before the sun rises, we do Sahur, or you can say early breakfast, and when the sun sets, there’s also ritual, called Buka Puasa, or you can say early dinner, where we can drink and eat again, until the sun rises again the next morning.

It is a custom in our International Relations Students Associations in every Ramadhan, that each class throws a Buka Puasa gig, so every students from all classes can attend, however for this year, it is not so very much the case of IR students of class of Dictator 2003. It is so unfortunate for the fact that we are not a whole anymore, because some of our members have already graduated, so we were not sure that we can throw a Buka Puasa gig for everyone anymore.

However, we tried to think something else. Maybe we could just gather, ourselves, whole Dictators, graduated and not-yet graduated, hehehe, we can make it ourselves, Buka Puasa in a restaurant maybe. So yes, yesterday, 4/10/2007 we held our Dictator 03 Buka Puasa at Bakso Lapangan Tembak restaurant at Mal Panakukang. So here it goes, a little glimpse of it.

Me, Sharee, Cucan, and a creature that I don’t feel like to mention her name, were the first four in the restaurant, and there was Andicted, Uq, Ancha, Muthe, who came with her boyfriend Sadat, and his brother, Ikal, and there also was, Edy, who wore a very, well, I thought it was an odd attire of his, but it was apparently the fashion that he is into… ok,and there was, Chakra, Isma, who finally is home from her project in an NGO in South East Sulawesi, she came with her new boyfriend, but he was not in the restaurant, what the…? Ok, continue…. Makmur and Santhi, Rusdin, and finally Andika, who came after some of us have already left… Andika apparently brought someone that I did not recognize.. erhmm erhmm.. who was she, Andika? Hehehehe.. good on you, though.. better than none, right!

So we all got into nice conversations, and jokes, of course, we were glad that we are still able to throw this, despite of us not being whole 49 people, but we were good, it was a good time, I would love to do that again, Love to you all, cheers to Dictators!
