yesterdays

When I went to Singapore for studying, I was late for that year batch that I had to wait for another year to apply. Since I was already there, I decided to take an English course. The class was full with Indonesians, some Indians, a few chinese from the mainland, a thai girl and a European woman that I can't remember where she was from.

After finishing the course we parted and slowly lost contact. A few months ago Thanks to friendsters, I was found by one of them (let's call him Mr. L). And recently another ex schoolmate (Mr. P) found me through Mr. L's friendster. Mr. L doesn't live at jakarta, but he comes here quite often to check his business here. he called 2 days ago informing that he's flying to Jakarta the following day, asking if we could meet up for a 'reunion' along with Mr. P.
We decided to meet up for dinner last night. I was so bored at the office yesterday that I left early for the dinner. After walking around Plaza Indonesia, I waited for them at Sushi tei. Lucky me, there was no queue. I was seated less than 5 mins. I guess it's because I came before dinner time.
While waiting, I couldn't help myself eavesdropping 3 girls seating next to my table. I knew I should mind my own business but they spoke so loud, well... one of them did, that I guess they didn't mind me listening. They spoke with a thick american twang and they look very local chinese. Bet they're rich brats studying in america. But nothing interesting about their conversation so I killed time reading the menu. I normally sit by the conveyor belt that I hardly read the menu. Now that I know they serve quite variety of jap food.

Back to my friends, they finally came. They don't change much, just a little heavier. They had the same comment on me too, yes I am chubbier now, thank you...
We updated each other start from Mr. P, he's married with 1 kid, work as a merchandiser and just had an operation from a cyst, I 'm not going to write more about it. Mr. L runs his own entertainment and some other biz. Anyway, Mr. L told us that 2 of his female friends would come to join us. I was rather annoyed as it was supposed to be our reunion, all about us... But I thought, well what the heck these 2 guys might be boring and more companies would be good. Then there she came, white tank top, black bra, dyed hair, high heels, triple layers mascara and brown contact lenses. The other woman is just average (yes, it always looks like that. The "attractive looking" and the "less attractive looking") Gee... it's going to be an interesting night... I always have this image about women in such appearance, maybe I'm stereotyping but most of the time it never fails me. They are pretentious, needing to cover something up about themselves or desperately seeking attention. And she had all that.
It should have been a nice reunion, but since Mr. L is all over her Mr. P and I thought it's better to end the night early and promised to meet next month when Mr. L comes over again. Hopefully without those uninvited guest.

p.s: apparently, the brown eyes is Mr. L's friend's fiance. But from the way she flirted with Mr. L, it seems that she can be easily snatched by him. She's unemployed and financed by her fiance. Maybe she's taking her chance to be snatched as Mr. L is wealthier than her fiance... meeooowww!!
