DIGITAL DETOX IN THE SKY šŸ“µšŸš€šŸœ with Jakarta Friends – Pool, Food, Drinks & View
Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... **are you a member of [Jakarta Creatives](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you will take at the event 😊 JakFri and JakCre is **the** biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us to join us for this **DIGITAL DETOX evening in THE SKY! No phones will be allowed during this event!** Let's log off and talk to each other in real life! Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself. **ABOUT THE EVENT** Join this **very special event** and take a look at **luxury cars** (Ferrari, Porsches, and more) before heading up to a **cozy rooftoop cafĆ© & resto** with a stunning view of the **elevated** **MRT train** and the **JakSel skyline**, have a bite and drink with fellow Jakarta Friends and play a few rounds of **free pool (billiard)** in this fabulous terrace overlooking the city! An informal and intimate evening where we favour **authentic connections** **and conversations** instead of big, loud group where you don't manage to go past the superficial "where are you from" and "what do you do" questions. When checking in, everyone will be reminded not to use their phone. This is an event were we disconnect and enjoy each other presence! **No phones are allowed for the duration of the event!** Will you manage? šŸ˜‰ This is a unique event with **very limited places** as the cafĆ© is small. There's a table reserved for us inside (airco & non-smoking). First-timers are particularly encouraged to join! Reserve your spot today and make sure you update your RSVP if you cannot come. No show = kicked from the group. Our events are **introvert friendly** and we favour authenticity! Everyone is always welcome to join our events. For this event, we have chosen a small cafĆ© with an astonishing view and a delicious and diverse food menu. The location is excellent and the view of the MRT train passing a few meters away is absolutely epic. At the entrance of the building there is a shop for luxury cars and you are invitated to take a stroll and feel free to buy one šŸ˜‰ Be prepared to identify yourself with ID at the entrance for security reasons. Then you can head up with the elevator to the rooftop terrace (having both an inside area with airco and outside/smoking area with pool table). A table is reserved for us under the name "MeetUp". The event starts at 6.30 PM and I strongly recommend to arrive on time. The kitchen closes at 8 PM for the last order. Don't be late and don't miss this opportunity to have an authentic evening with locals and international new friends. We will ask for a split bill and everyone will be paying what they consume. **Pool is free!** **We have organised this event before!** * **[Digital Detox in the Sky at Rocket CafĆ©](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/311728808)**[ ](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/311728808)(Nov 2025) You can browse [all future events](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/) and [all past events](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/?type=past) of Jakarta Friends take a look at [pictures of previous events](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/photos/) to get a sense of the vibe of our group! **ABOUT THE VENUE** * Here's the IG of Rocket CafĆ© Fatmawati: https://www.instagram.com/rocketcafe.fatmawati/ * Here you can find all you need about the cafĆ©: https://share.google/fKZMHUeX4DGIJ8xUD * Rocket CafĆ© Fatmawati is located near the MRT Fatmwati (5 minutes walking distance) and we strongly recommend you to skip the hassle of macet, leave the car somewhere, and join by MRT. * The restaurant closes at 9 PM and last order is at 8 PM. The place is small, and attendance to this event is limited to 6 persons. If you cannot join, please **update your RSVP at least 24h before the event** as respect to the organiser and people in the waitlist. **No-shows will be kicked out of the group.** There will be a table reserved for us under MeetUp. At the counter on the main entrance (first floor) you will be required to show your ID and indentify yourself to be let into the building as they care about security and a safe space. **HOW TO REGISTER TO THE EVENT?** To register, just click ā€œAttendā€! There are a few simple rules * We kindly ask attendees who cannot manage to join to **update RSVP at least 24 h before the event** as a courtesy to other attendees and event organisers. * Cancellation a few hours before the event still counts as a no-show as it takes the spot away from someone else * Don't be early! We want to eat together * It's OK if you arrive some time after 6.30 PM, but let's try to eat together, shall we! So, try to make it in time. * People in the waitlist **cannot** attend, and are encouraged to check a few hours before the event to see if they got a spot * No show at this event without updating RSVP = removal from the group. * As the place is small, only 6 guests can attend this event and no +1 are allowed.

Anger and Resentment, How to Handle their Source and Live a Better Life
Anger and Resentment, How to Handle their Source and Live a Better Life
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
