My Journey: Persahabatan Antar-Asia

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back: a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.” (Anais Nin)

July 2010
I met with them, three Korean girls, they are Bomi, Sohee and Jeong Ah. They were intern in SGC, the place where I work. At the first time, we have difficulties in communication, they could speak Korea and English, most of our conversation was in English, and only talked about works.
As the time running, we had known each other, and we're being friends...talking, singing and laughing together.
They learnt Bahasa, and I love to help them.
Sohee is a cheerful girl, love to sing, and has a good voice, she also can dance, she just like a Kpop girl-band.
Jeong Ah is a smart girl, and love to laugh. But she always feels so tired all the time...I think, maybe because of Indonesian weather...kkk
Bomi, she is very helpful and a good listener.

Then, I knew Nakamura, who works at KTH. He is from Japan, and after he worked at Jakarta for almost a year, he moved to Kalimantan. He is very polite and nice.

January 2011, we had a new friend whose name's Natt, from Thailand. He is smart and very funny...and a little bit crazy..especially when he told me the story about Harry Potter and Dementor...he could create new stories that never told by JK Rowling...kkk

A couple months after Natt came, there's Kim Tongil, from Korea, he is a scientist with various intelligence. He is funny and nice. He could foresee by using cards (a fortune teller). He ever predicted me..a precise forecast...tks Tongil. You know that the meaning of "tongil" in Korean is "union" (penyatuan)..it's a good name.

Sometimes, we hang out together, at Kemang, Grand Indonesia, Plaza Indonesia, Pacific Place, and other places.

I'd like to introduce Indonesian culture to them, to be a guide for them at TMII, Ancol and Taman Safari. I'd like to spend my time with them. It's an enjoyable moment and I miss it.

They are not in Jakarta now...but, our friendships will be last forever :-)
