Somewhere between B151 and the night

Kita surprisin Andhika kedua kalinya hari ini. We kinda bought him something : B151, the 75.5% alcohol by volume Bacardi. Dang, this one is the strongest you can ever buy in stores in United States. Anything above this would be illegal.

Datengin Andhika bermodal sebotol B151 dan sebuah kartu ultah yang dah ditulisin sama kita semua. Amanda, Laison, Sylvia and Mark, Carla, Mira, Chris, Erik, Evan, Moe, Barry dan Adeline. We were all there seeing how many shots of this high level alcohol Andhika drank. Laison, Sylvia, Mark, Carla, Moe, Barry and I are among those people who shared a shot with him. Andhika was drunk.

Somewhere between B151 and the carefree night, in the middle of dizziness, music, laughter, I was made aware that that time was maybe the last time I would celebrate his birthday together with him, a person I know the longest in Madison, and maybe so far, the one who has been thru all things I had.

Somewhere between the pictures and videos, I know I'll record that moment completely in my own mind. Every single stuff, from the first time we knocked on his door until the time we put him to bed because he was quite wasted. (Thanx a lot to Kolek who takes care of him throughout the nite). Some of us covered him with blanket and we all said good night to him.

Somewhere between all the people who came and Andhika himself, I know where I position myself, that he'll always be my brother. He's still polite and wise even when he is so drunk. He's never rude. Now, I see something that I've never seen out of him before, and it's a pleasure to know this side. Never knew that he is so musical... :)

Happy Bday Andhika, you're 21 now. Be legal but be wiser. It's not yer age determinin (coz being 21 is nothing actually), and also, not the amount of shots of B151 that took you down which matters, but they are how u think about things and how u are careful with your sources, with what you have. These are what lie behind 21. Welcome to adulthood.
