If we look at the Big Indonesian Dictionary or KBBI, social gathering is an activity to collect money or goods of the same value from several people, which are drawn by lot to determine who is entitled to get it.
Very identical to socialite, social gathering is held in a meeting that is routine in nature. Usually, at every meeting there are meals, chatting from A to Z, as well as being a gathering place.
Not infrequently, the upper middle class social gathering is not 50-100 thousand rupiah anymore, but diamonds! That's why social gathering is sometimes impressed as a rah-rah.
