Conquering the Super Semi Pretentious Grand Indonesia


It's almost 3.30 AM and I'm still talking about what happened today. It's been awhile I'm not going out for shopping, especially an unintentional shopping. Grand Indonesia, which I consider it as the largest mall here in this country, is celebrating its grand opening by holding 2 days of midnight sale. I went there with my parents. The mall itself is super cool! It has 2 department stores, they are Seibu and Harvey Nichols (the first HN in Asia, how cool is that!) The mall also has millions of local and international brands, such as Zara; Pull and bear; GAP; etc. And not to forget, this mall is big, I mean SUUUUUUPPPPEEEERRR big!

Ok, the sale starts at 8 PM. Me and my parents were there since 4 PM. At first, I bought a tshirt. It was a steal! It cost only Rp. 114,500.00 (US$11.2) from this cool Indonesian brand, it's (X) S.M.L. Here's the pic:

When we were walk around the mall, I saw this super, no, über cool jacket/hoodie in Topman! It looks likethe duffel coat I always love. The price? Darn.. It's expensive. It cost Rp. 839,000.00 (US$82) I know, maybe for some people in the other side of this world consider it cheap, but not here! But then, the sales attendant told me that Topman start its midnight sale at 10PM, and that item is one of the sale items. The discount is 20%, which means the hoodie price got reduce to Rp. 671,200.00 (US$ 65). Cheap? Not for me! It's still expensive! *well, I just lost US$70.* Here's the pic:

Oh yes, my parents bought it for.. ME! Thank you! I♥you!

Edging

Hmmmm... The title sounds tempting eh? No, i'm not talking about that kind of edging you friggin' perv! Like usual, I'm talking about humans. Humans with their own behaviour. This time about how humans love to test themselves onto the edge.

Last night, I hang out at my friend's home. The main plan was to watch korean TV series on DVD, but we just chatted until midnight. There were 5 of us, then I remembered to show my friends about Yooouuutuuube. All got amazed, even one of my friend came up with an idea of LSD-ing. Even she said, "oh shit, I want it now, using this trippy vision thingy." I just smiled. Then one of my friend told a story about his friend. His friend took three piece of LSD into his own mouth, and it leads him to move to the mental institution. Apparently his nerves system broke down, and none of doctors in Jakarta could fix it.

No, I tell you this story because I want LSD-ing. Not at all! I tell you this story because I want to show you that humans can push themselves to the edge, even jump off of it. That story is from druggies side. How about from our daily life?

In love life, humans push themselves onto the edge. Humans want to do anything for the love sake. Is it blinded by love or just plain stupid? The answer is all up to you, you have to look it from your own perspectives.

Not just love life or drugs life, humans always push themselves to the edge in every single aspects of their life. We always stand on the edge of a cliff, ready to fall at any time and rate. What if we fall to the valley of the darkness? Well, it's our own consequences. Scary? Naaah.. It's something we always do. It's just sometimes we don't realize it. Can we just not standing on the edge of a cliff? No we can't, unless you're comma or dead. Ahahaha..
