| 'Sorry, my father doesn't have a lot of tact, and he enjoys putting up a fight.' Doh! Rumbled! Anyway I'm really looking forward to the evening, we should get there about 8 p.m., cos Daliani finishes work at 5 and we will leave at 6, then a 120 mile journey. |

Roboba, I do apologise, but on the other hand it may be to your benefit if you dont make such a rash response in future, because even though he didnt say it with a lot of empathy, Luthfi was still making a point that needed to be taken into account"
Dear Daliani,
No need to apologise, but I don't see how not making the response I did could be to my benefit. I truly believe that if there are certain dates, such as New Years Eve, that these should be celebrated on the appropriate date. Especially when there is a large group of people that want to celebrate it with you on that day. If there are people that don't want to participate on that particular date because they want to do something else or celebrate somewhere else than that is absolutely fine and I wish them the greastest time ever. People just shouldn't come moaning about not being able to attend certain events because they were/are otherwise engaged! As far as I can remember New Years Eve has always been on the 31st of December (please correct me if I'm wrong) and for the last eight years (the time I've been living in the UK) SYA/SICA have organised a New Years Eve Party! So it is not as if this was the first time! Like I said in my last post: "if Subudis want to hang out with other Subudis during public holidays it is very easy to enquire with the committees concerned and plan accordingly!"Life is full of choices and this is just another one. I hope you have a great and blessed Christmas and a Wonderful NYE party that will be the beginning of a great year.  |

Yes, well I think we're both right and both wrong. Although it was always the practice, when I was on Central London committee or National Council, to avoid very obvious clashes when organising Subud events (and I was vaguely remembering, in particular, that we had to avoid something to do with princess Di once..whether it was the wedding or something else I can't remember, it was many years before the funeral), on the other hand I forgot, when I posted, that we also always had a 'do' on NYE at Central London.
I remember now that we used to have a latihan from 12.45 pm through to 1.15 am, so you could see the New Year in that way....the idea mainly being, I believe, that you could receive about the coming year. Only I wouldn't recommend this, because, on the only occasion I participated (the 1967/1968 'bridging' latihan), I didn't feel very good in the latihan, and received that the year would be pretty awful.
Everyone else was 'yeah, man, it was really cool, I received strongly that it was going to be fantastic...'....er...well...that year Soviet tanks invaded Czechoslovakia and snuffed out the Prague Spring, and I had a ghastly year (as usual, lol).
Anyways, Roboba, you are quite right, 'it's not as if this is the first time.' |

Somewhat late, may I say that this was a truly enjoyable event, and many thanks to those who set it up, and who were beavering around doing things like the washing-up also (Louisa springs to mind).
This was a really great party, a really enjoyable atmosphere, and it was so nice to see Yoof enjoying themselves...and of course, for me, to see my daughter chatting away with people her own age.....they all seemed to get on like a house on fire.
The old lags had a good time also.....amazing to see people I hadn't encountered for 20 years or more.
I shall remember the good feeling from this event, and the nice images in my mind, for many years to come. |
