Midnight Shopping

Did you all had fun on midnight shopping last Friday? It was two night before it is officially launched by the newest the city's governor, but it did a real sensation. I was finally reaching Plaza Indonesia at 10pm, and you bet, it was quite a queue to get a parking space.

The promise of sales discounts of up to 90% in 180 participants shops only at the plaza seems well anticipated since it turned out to gather the most number of drooling shoppers from all corners of the city, I guess. They were checking out the galore of bargains at the special extended hours shopping. I thought that was another rise of Ayat-ayat Cinta, seeing those queue in front of several cashiers in Debenhams. And Gucci, who is across the brand new Louboutin, gaining another crowds after the sale couples week ago.

The scene with a numbers of content faces was a real madness fun. But some found it as a too crowded atmosphere, yet killing the mood to shop around. In fact, not all of the crowds getting down to shop though. Numerous people were passing and not buying a single thing, just people-watching. No reports of crime's act though.

Mall Holiday ‘08

Time of the year to host relatives arriving from Kampung! School holiday festivities is in in the capital. Going to the next grade or not, it is time for most children to have fun (on their own way). Some parents showing their relieve-faces for knowing that school these days is not mentioning ranking in the students report. No secret that student’s achievement is parent’s pride.

So, many choices to visit this time, include shopping malls have their holiday program: Marvel’s heroes characters conquering Grand Indonesia (plus the NewYork NewYork hourly show!), Japanese Doraemon showcasing in Plaza Semanggi, giant Panda Po of Kungfu Panda (looks so real!) does Mal Ciputra Jakarta, etc. Pretty impressive work of artistic teams out there. Should you interested to visit and have some poses with your cam-phone, it turned out to be a trend. “So ordinary people style,” remember San Chai. It’s cheap, though you will spend some for meals or coffees. Indeed it is so Jakarta, that you don’t have to break your belief for not to be exposed under the sun.



While you're at the mall, why don’t you watch a movie? My recommendation for the kids are: Kung Fu Panda and Incredible Hulk of course. You wouldn't think Dewi Persik suit to their need, right? And for you, err … Sex and the City? I think so, you will love Carrie even better in her Vivienne Westwood. For sure it means to treat your eyes and soul. Oh well, at least I do. It is a feels good hollywood movie.
