~ about Ari, RJ and Greta ~

27 October 1999

ari left for San Francisco today at 3 pm. i didn’t have time to say bye bye. i was in a meeting that ran from 2-4.

he’ll be back on Friday morning. hopefully with some gifts for me… hehe.

speaking about gift, i got Greta’s package. she just came back from Philipines, and she brought me and ari back some snacks and keychains… how cute!
it was somekind of dry sweet snack with peanuts on it. thanks, Greta… :->

when i got home, there was a message from RJ. yes, RJ!! i haven’t seen him for about a year. he was my roommate when i lived in Maryland.
my first and last roommate. i personally think he’s the best roommate anyone could ever have. the arrangement between me and him worked out very well.
i worked during the day, he worked at night. so, on the days we both work, we only see each other on the drive way with each of us in our own cars.
either he’s about to leave and i just got home, or the other way around.

but i think, that’s why we were such good roommates! we didn’t see each other too much, and we hung out when we wanted to hung out together.

so anyways, i called him back, and we did a little updates of our lives. he’s on the ship. oh yeah, he’s a Navy. and he told me that this December, he might be going to
Timor…. WHOA. that’s weird. do they (they = Timor/Indonesian) really need ships from the US to linger around? *shrugs*… well, since i’ll be going home (to Indonesia)
this Xmas, maybe there is a chance to hang out with RJ there… hmm, how’s the immigration working? is it possible for them (the Navy) to get off their ships and hang out with us?
