abby in wonderland

Throughout this week Dad has been teaching at BINUS University in the city as a substitute.

It’s the last week of semester there, and to celebrate they’ve been having ‘ENGLISH WEEK!’ - A fun-filled activity-ridden fair of sorts for students and teachers alike.

The culmination of this week came in the form of a Christmas-but-not-remotely-involving-Christmas pantomime, in which Dad starred.

Well, he was in it.

The panto was set in a classroom,with a pretty scary-looking teacher in drag and the most rebellious students (all the teachers dressed up to look crazy) I’ve ever witnessed.

Dad was one of these students.

They marched in procession, to some blaring rock music, supposedly ‘25 minutes late!’

Each of them had either a water-pistol or a bottle of alcohol. Guess which Dad had?

Yup! Dad slumped in a desk-chair for the entire performance with a cigarette in one hand (not lit) and a giant bottle of Vodka next to him.

I assumed that they had filled the bottles with iced tea or water (a VERY musical theatre move).

I find out later from a slightly wobbly Dad, that he had thought so too…

Until he took a big swig from the bottle.

And the vodka burned his throat.

Yikes.
