New Friends
I was buying a suit at the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton about a month ago and needed to shorten the sleeves when the Manager handed me a business card of its preferred tailor. I was curious when I read the name on the card; hmm…could this person be an Indonesian?
Few weeks after I called this person and I was right, she’s an Indonesian. She and her husband are the same age as Rico and the good thing was they live in Tracy too, about 5 minutes driving from our house. yippee…We met few times and found out so many similarities / dissimilarities between us…border OCD anyone? hihihi… =P just kidding…
Fanny loves cooking like I do and we had lunch together at my home 2 weeks ago. She made delicious sop buntut (oxtail soup), I cooked sambel goreng tempeh (stir-fry tempeh) and Rico's mom happened to make Dabu2 Ikan (menado's chilli sauce over Deep Fried Fish)....and we had kue sus (choux pastry) for dessert, which I bake in the morning...
Here's Fanny and Joe, a.k.a Sentot, who was childhood friend-turn-couple. They're friends since they were an 8 year-old, can you believe that? 
So during the Labor Day weekend, their friends from L.A. came to visit..two couples, also about the same age as us...we had a blast going out with them, it felt like we already knew each other for so long as we share similar joke and taste over food =)
the girls....................................... the guys..............................................
Rico and I were so happy to get to know these nice people and to have a chance to build new friendship... and we were hoping to meet them again in L.A. at the end of this month...
Overall, we truly enjoy our Labor Day weekend...and i hope you guys too
