forgot to mention this before - several weeks ago, me & Helen came to visit friends of ours, mbak Ira and her husband Ian. We knew them back when we were in UK. They held a gathering in their home, and we came there. They specifically asked us to keep in touch when we went back to Indonesia.
Who knew that they actually moved here themselves 
great stuff indeed.
Anyway, we visited their house in Kemang. Turned out that it’s also a “pengajian” / gathering. In the event there most of the guests are expats with their spouse. Most of the time we were speaking English, to honor those who still new and can not speak much Indonesian yet.
After the event mbak Ira spoke to us, telling that she’s planning to do the gathering / pengajian routinely. I asked her if it’s okay to let others know about it, to which she replied an enthusiastic “yes”.
So here you go.
