The owner of the account, Michael Ferdinand, who had just finished watching a movie, said he was surprised to see the party.
“That’s a sweet 17 celebration of an ice skater in Indonesia,” he said on Tuesday, as quoted by kompas.com.
“I’d just finished watching [a movie] and was surprised to see the party on the ice skating rink. I spontaneously took a picture and posted it online,” he said.
He added that other visitors at the mall did the same.
The party was held to celebrate the birthday of Florence, 17, who has loved ice skating since she was a child.
“Actually, the party was because I have gone there often to ice skate since I was a child. My brother proposed the idea for my sweet 17,” she said.
As she thought the idea was unique, Florence accepted the offer.
“I thought it would be very cool as it is a non-mainstream idea. We talked to our parents and they agreed….” she said, kompas.com reported. (sau)
