GREATER JAKARTA · A WEEKLY TABLE OF FIVE · FRIENDSHIP-FIRST
BSD solved almost everything: the offices came, the campuses came, the food came. The one thing a masterplan cannot zone for is a circle of people who expect you on a given night. That part still has to be built by hand.
What is Hey Sini?
Hey Sini
nounHey Sini is a weekly social club for making friends as an adult in Jakarta. It seats five compatible people near each other at the same table, on the same night, every week for six weeks, and then the table becomes theirs. It is friendship-first, not a dating app, and it opens neighbourhood by neighbourhood, starting around Senopati.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Why a BSD table.
The pieces are all there: The Breeze and AEON for the evenings, Pasar Modern BSD for the mornings, ICE for the expo weekends, and Green Office Park where the tech offices and the Apple Developer Academy sit. Prasetiya Mulya and Atma Jaya's BSD campus keep the average age young.
BSD's distances are car distances, so friendship here defaults to whoever shares your office or your housing cluster. A standing table cuts across that: five compatible people, one spot, every week.
WHO IT IS FOR
Made for BSD, specifically.
- Tech and startup workers around Green Office Park new to the corridor
- Prasetiya Mulya and Atma Jaya BSD students building a circle off campus
- People who moved out for the house and left their friends an hour behind
HOW IT WORKS HERE
One match, then the same five, every week.
- Getting there
- The Rawa Buntu and Cisauk KRL stations link BSD to the city on the Rangkasbitung line, and the Jakarta-Serpong toll runs straight in.
- The rhythm
- Five compatible people near you, the same night, every week for six weeks. We re-seat you if it is not right.
- The cost
- Free to join. A founding seat is Rp 49rb/mo, locked for life. You pay your own bill at the table.
A BSD table usually lands at The Breeze, around Pasar Modern, or in one of the ruko food rows: open-air, easy parking, no rush. We suggest the spot via Google Maps, the five of you confirm it, and we never book it or take venue money.
BSD QUESTIONS
Before you sit down.
Does a BSD table count as Jakarta?
We treat greater Jabodetabek as one map, and BSD tables are matched within BSD, so nobody is asked to cross the toll on a weeknight. Your table opens as enough people nearby sign up.
