Arisan

Once I was invited to an arisan (gathering) of wives nearby. I think it
would be nice to get to know each other so I did attend it. I came 10
o'clock sharp as what the invitation said, but until 11:30 it was not
started yet. Almost everyone brought brochure of their business and
wanted me to buy something. The thing is, the goodie is not cheap!!!
most are kitchen gadgets (well, like what else does wives crazy about?!
:p), and the price range from 100 USD to 700 USD. Even the cheapest
curtain cost 500 USD (>.<). When I got interested to one item, another
women would come and told me to buy hers too....hhhh...

When one woman then ask me to introduce her to my husband so that my
husband could hire him at the office, I couldn't stand it anymore. I
told them that I had to feed Iki so I must go home before 12. The host
told me to pick Iki up and came back to the gathering, but well.....I
don't think that kind of gathering is my cup of tea :)

And as I guessed, when I showed Hiro the brochures, he was not
interested at all. We will only live here for few years. Those
electrical gadgets couldn't be brought back to Japan anyway. And most
of all.....he didn't recognize the brand ahahaha.

I MIGHT still come to such arisan anyway, but next time I will tell in
advance that I'm not buying anything here :)

hahahaha medeni Mut, arisan ala Indo, biasa, cari mangsa. Dodolan, nggosip, ehhh buntut2nya harus ngenalin ke bojo dan minta kerjaan, huahahahhhaha.

Eniweis, bukan menghina sih, tapi kadang mikir, ada nggak ya, sincere and honest things in Indonesia, as in "pure friends" and "pure gathering" seperti di luar negeri?
