Of course, she never came back. So basically I spent 1.2m on a half-assed ST fj. Bad, expensive lesson learnt.

Yes, you cumulated an impressive series of mistakes, one after the other in a
crescendo, but no need to remark it to someone who already admitted to be guilty.
It's very easy to report stories of success, more difficult to admit mistakes, even silly mistakes. So, thank you. The hope is that this will be useful to others.
However, big episodes of success come only after many mistakes. This helps to milden the disappointment on days of bad luck.

This is astonishing!
What about "Hello! You play great?" So simple. They will reciprocate with the biggest smile you ever got in Foreplay.
No need to be nervous, however, because that may only lead to a drink together at best. The chances to get laid easily with them as not greater than with a Chinese girl dressed fancy and sitting in a night club of Clark Key (I assume that you, as well as me, do not look as a brother of Brad Pitt).
Musicians in NoName DO NOT come from a poor kampung and are NOT impressed by "Hello. I am from Singapore" (neither by "Hello. I am from France"). They come from Jakarta and are used to stay with upper-class Indonesian creative young guys, as well as with foreigners of all continents. On top of that, they have seen you trying to approach girls in NoName while they were singing. You cannot even claim to have fallen in love, suddenly at first sight...
(Nothing personal, I experienced the same on my skin)

Just one question: why UNSAFE?? He is pushy because in desperate need of those 10k, but that does not mean he would rob you to get those damn rupiahs. Smile back, and don't even think to reply to "Where you going?" with something different than "Jalan jalan". On my first times, I took it as very intrusive, but then I understood that for Indonesian it's like asking "how are you?"

I was not with you, but I CANNOT believe that Newton could be without FLs.
