My 2017: Welcoming the new year - party from jungle, happiness in simplicity.

hello all stemians in the world.
in this post i wanna share to all of you how i celebrate new year, from Desember 31,2017 to January 1,2018. hope you like and can feel the moment i felt. ;)
greeting, from Indonesia...

first of all, this is the only firework i enjoyed in this new year, only this. not a great one ha?
but even the firework isn't great enough, we really had best moment to shared and enjoyed together in that nigh. let me start with my actifity on Desember 31, 2017. the last day in 2017.

i was in jungle, doing reasearch about bird. and right about the changing year, i still in jungle. there are no many people around my point area, but all of them so friendly like a family. i was companied by one friend. so we spend our time to watch the birds every single time, we won't miss a single important thing we might observed.

this is how i prepare the new year night
...

trust me, we really want to go out, clean ourself and straight to the city where people celebrate. but what can we do? birds are unpredictable, and the town is quite far from this jungle. so me, my friend and the owners of my flat (rent house) try our best to celebrating new year like others do.
we played a game called "ludo", tell a story and joke about ourself or everything, laugh and happy.

this is ludo board.

at the end, when countdown begin, this is the best moment. we had lack of fireworks, and the show is not really bright and long. it was just a short flash and quick one loud sound. but let me tell you, we had a best night ever. in that second moment no one speak a single words. everybody just like focus and solemn waiting this moment. and the firework start to pop, fly in the line from of light which looks so clear in that dark night, silent for a second and after.. duarrr,,,,, blamm,.... like a god come from heaven to give light to this world. this moment just so wonderfull, i can see from anybody's face, they hold their tongue and smile while look up above. i love this moment, no words but full of joy.

that's all the glorious fireworks we have.
can you feel the beauty and warmth from it?

but the night not end just like that, we let children play with smile fireworks left. they look so happy. they running around, jumping, laughing, crying (for those who doens't get the firework), and calling my name while raise their firework to show how cool and beautiful this is. i just sit and smile to them, and after my friend stand up and go with the children, he take one firework and start dancing. the children laugh at him.
here is our dancer

and after, when we are tired of laughing and children tired of dancing, we back inside and sleep.
i need to wake up in early morning, cause birds never wait for me to start their most interesting actifity. so i need to be there before they start their activity.

this is my photo when im awake and ready to go back in jungle.

i prepared my tools and then the first 2018 day begin...

making list to do...

and come in the jungle...

this is my biggest enemy when in forest. ;(
