meeting someone special

today, i met someone. someone special. someone whom i have not seen in more than fifteen years. she's a long lost kindergarten to primary school friend from kalam kudus. as far as i remember, we used to chat a lot in class.

it's funny how our story goes. she was in spore, so was i; but we never meet. she was in the same uni as i was (one semester after me); but we never meet. when i was back in jakarta for good, she found me through my uni's friend friendster.

we met for dinner at sushi tei plaza senayan. it was the usual cousins weekend dinner, but the cousins club always enjoy company. it's also my first time at sushi tei senayan. the resto is as packed as the one in plaza indonesia. there were 8 of us but their biggest table was only for 4 (how stupid?!?), so we had to split up in two tables. kinda annoying for a dinner which its main purpose is to catch up on each other's life, but well...

when nat arrived, i went to greet her from the resto entrance. i could recognised her straightaway. i waved to her from distance. i was excited! i wanted to give her a cheek to cheek kiss, but there was a step near where i was standing and there were too many people around. so i hesitated a while and forgo.

by coincidence, we met han-han and jessi. the world's really small eh? out of all so many tables in sushi tei, they were arranged to sit at the table next to harry's table. the sushi tei dinner ended with julie cutting up her bday cake. then dicky arrived with his gal.

dinner was followed with coffee at flaire (oppossite upstairs, beside the chinese resto in plaza senayan) and accompany dicky and gf for dinner at menteng.

it was really nice meeting an old friend. i hope she feels the same way too.
