Therry: either that or she suffers from short term memory disease
Parvita: I guess I have tried to give her more chance as I can’t just dismiss a person because she did it once. But it’s three times now so I have had enough.
Woleank: Nope
Fs: well quite right!

I’m surprised that you keep making appointments and appointments with her, you are too nice! Because if I were you, the first time she dissed the lunch with you and gave no reason, I would have just decided that I will not spare my time with her. Because:

1) My time is important
2) She has no manners
3) She does not respect other people’s time for her
4) She is obviously not taking you seriously

I happen to find lots of people like this in Indonesia. To me, if you don’t show up, I will give 15 minutes until they call you telling that they will be late. If not, sorry, I’m gone.

I think her parents simply left out “good manners” from the things that they were suppose to teach to their beloved daughter!

Diny: yes, she asked for my mobile number as she manages to lose it all the time. So I don’t know what was going through her head when she tried to make an appointment with me but didn’t turn up or didn’t bother to confirm or cancel.

Mila: yes people in Jakarta can be absolutely annoying. Early this year on our return to Jakarta, we had dinner appointment at 7.30. We were late because traffic on Friday night was crazy, so we arrived before 8PM. But the other couple arrived at…. 10PM! But this appointment on my above thread was in Aberdeen. No traffic whatsoever. And I guess if you stay in a different country you’re supposed to follow the custom, and respecting their own appointment is at least one of them, right?

I have some close friends who behaves like that in Jakarta, mostly their excuse is the traffic or it’s weekend no need to get rush. Until one day we’re supposed to meet in one of the shopping centre located in Senayan and I had to wait for them for an hour! They did sent me text and called me saying they’re going to be late but they also have known better that I like being on time and most importantly they were the one who set up the time!

So I sent a message to each of them saying I have another appointment with my family and also if you are truly my friends please respect me and my time. Since then whenever I came back to Jakarta and meet up with them they managed to come on time – even thou some of them still being late for half an hour.

Nit, maybe she has consumed too many expired foods that’s why she becomes forgetful
