I was 1st to wake up that day. I woke up around 10 am and took the plug and went online. As always, everyone was asleep so I plugged in my laptop and snuck online ^^." I was bored so I went to www.meez.com and got into my favorite room. It was still not crowded so it was really nice. I met a Romanian girl and a Greek girl. My Dad woke up around 3 so the fun was over. After 5 pm, Dad took everyone to my uncles' place while I stayed home. We were supposed to buy some tickets to Yemen. He came back but he was annoyed and decided to stay home. We sat watching TV until about 8 O'clock. We went to my uncles' and met with Uncle Khalid there. My little brother went with him ahead of us to the place where we were supposed to meet all together.
It wasn't a pleasant trip for me. Dad kept accusing me for being not proud of my own culture, away from all that is surrounding me. I admit, I was like that but not anymore. I'm really trying but pressing on me as if I will become a true tribal over night is really getting on my nerves. We were almost lost cause we got in a really big argument in the car.
Finally there! Things are at last calmed down a bit. At 1st it was just us, Uncle Ali and Uncle Khalid (with their families.) They wanted to block the road so we can have our private space. Dad and I refused, it was really inappropriate to do so. It's not like we own the street. Some people did so, but that doesn't make it right.
It wasn't long before the rest my uncles arrived. Uncle Ali and my Dad sat together talking about work =.=" Uncle Mohammed said it right, "it's either those two's work issues or the family name, we never talk about anything else." Uncle Abdullah was interested in their work though, money was in his head. He had a lot of papers, 30 years worth of bills and other stuff. WASCO, where I worked all summer, was part of MEPCO, where Dad and Abu Ghala (uncle Ali) worked. They buy used paper, carton, card boards and such, and send them to MEPCO to recycle them into new paper.
YES!! My long awaited meal! RICE AND MEAT! MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT!!!! I just meeeeeeeeeeeeat!! I feel like Luffy in "One Piece" X3
After dinner, my cousins gathered around their cars and started music. They started with a few Arabic songs, but then came the legend, Don Legend! The Wedding, by Qusai 'Don Legend' rocked the night.
After a while we put some classical Hadhrami dance music, called Hbaish. It was so much fun, but.. I don't know how to dance like they do T_T
Some people heard the music and they joined us. If Only I had a camera! I did record last year's dance. I have it on youtube.com, it's not really much but here it is, it's 2 parts:
Well, after that it was already getting late so we all headed home. G'night~~
