I visited a new shopping mall in Jakarta today, its called Grand Indonesia and their tagline's "the heART of shopping" HAHAHAHA.. i think.. as far as I can recall...
Anyway.. this shopping mall is Wonderful (notice the capital W??) It's been divided into 2 parts, west & east mall. This huge shopping mall will cover your whole entire day if you'd like your footprints to be all over it. West mall isnt really fully opened yet though.. GI (grand indonesia) is creatively built, I dont know how many designers they hired to get this done but its architecture and overall design is definitely astounding.
Their concept is prolly to get you all over the world in one mall, and to have everything in there. LOL! Well, thats what I get... They set the mood of each countries so well that you feel you're in some cartoonic wonderland.. like Cinderella.. or Mario Bros on a mission!! LOL!
Escalators, uneven placings makes it look so different. Reminds me alot of The Gardens' bridges.
This is a part of the west mall, Seibu is a department store from Japan. Looks like a normal shopping center to you still? Wait till you see whats upstairs =)
My youngest older bro.. posing LOL! errrmm... manequinn style? or what?? This is inside Seibu btw.
Okay, heading on upstairs... this is a shot of the ceiling. I find it so catchy and moody :p Maybe creepy.. if my house have something like this.. I dont think i'd like it hahaha!! but it sure looks good here!
In the NY district spot, they have like a... umm.. grungy garagee looking street with a number of musical instruments, it was for sale, like this one's Rp 10.150.000.00 (10mil, approx RM 4-5k)
I just love this pic of them! This is the place where you can imagine it to be something like Romeo & Juliet's scene of "romeo romeo, where for art thou romeo" part, there's a staircase to go up and it was full of starry ceiling with red velvet curtains on the big erm.. tunnel looking door. LOL! I find my mum's peace face super cute cute hahahah!!!! I dont even know she was doing that :P
Guuess which part of a country this is??? If you guessed ISTANBUL, you'rrrreee right! The awesome lamps were fully imported and I SO love how they played with fabric here. So so so elegant no? Even when you just got in the istanbul looking place, the arabic instrumental songs starts playing, you can just imagine yourself with those arabic clothings! Well... obviously the sexy ones.. sheer colourful ones.. fuhhh... sexayy...
And where are we now? Yes yes... this is that big golden chandelier. But what is it doing in a shopping mall right? I'd imagine this kinda thing to be placed in a Grand Ball, where you dance with those big big dresses and men with top hats arriving the ball with their chariots of horses.. fuaa... yes yes.. i think this part's the British part.
Yup.. see? British? right? =)
Coming to USA again, as you can see... the lanterns would probably represent chinatown or sumtin haha! And posters of olden looking advertisments too! Like campbellis soup and "cheer" detergent haha! 
Yup yup, see.. I've been to so many places all over the world in one day! Forget about "around the world in 80 days" This will cover up most of it already! This is prolly the USA part.. Love the look where it looks moody & like train station looking look... ish. LOL I can imagine the beggars sitting down on the sides of the roads already! that would add up the mood no?
This mall has a musical fountain every hour and everyday. And its' held here, As you can see it really does look somehow like a concert hall or a theatre or something haha! But in the end, it was a cafe and a big empty space and a fountain =) its cool enough
I sat in this cafe waiting for the musical fountain to play.. enjoying my cookies n cream ice blended with my soup with my bro & my mum
And here, the musical fountain starts to play. Quite a scene for a mall i'd say.
My mushroom soup =) yummy!
I tried to get closer to the fountain to take a couple of shots, lotsa ppl were recording the show to their phones LOL
another shot of it. wee!
And its finished! This is how it looks like normally. so classy :p
So after that, I met up with my sister in law, and we had some time shopping and we couldnt feel that the time flew. It was 9pm and we had our dinner in the foodcourt, indonesian traditional cuisine that is =)Oh, and i've had my haircut, its damn short now.. LOL.. you can see it in the pic I took in GI..the "Bus stop" pic hahah!!

I know I have been away from the blogging world for quite some time, here's why:
- Corporate Identity was a killer, Joseph the lecturer never had the tiniest bit of happiness in my work. So it was sorta killing me.
- I've been concentrating on online shopping a lot haha! Its so much fun there! You should try it out! start by going to www.thebouncingbananas.blogspot.com !!
- You know how rocky me and the bee eff were, we had crazy fights =) but so far still holding on peeps! =)
Oh oh.. btw.. do you know that MISH is being pinkified??? I know! She's starting to love pink!! I mean every time we shop for Bouncing Bananas, she's always all over pink stuff! Great news no? =)
alright, back on the tagging.
Like any tag, it comes with a set of rules. In this case, the rules are as follows:
. state 15 weird things/ habits/ little known facts about yourself
. The 10 people I tag are to then to follow my footsteps and write their own 15 weird things/habits and little known facts.
. No tag backs (as in once ive done this, please dont tag this exact tag again. pls n tenkius.)
1. I was born in PONTIANAK!
Freaked out? I'm not a vampire or anything okay. In Indonesia, Pontianak is a country and vampires are called kuntilanak. NOT pontianak. I used to be so angry at Malaysian people who keep calling Pontianak freaky... But I'm used to it now =)
2. I love to burst bubbly blisters
I just hate it when theres something bulging out of no where okay. But yes.. the after effects of bursting your blisters are that you enjoy seeing the water running through that small hole & the super painful feeling for a few days (hate that part).
3. I've had 3 places of my body stitched
Unlike Mr.Joker from Batman, I dont think he went to the hospital and stitched his "koyak"ed lips did he? But I did had my legs & tongue stitched. I bet that whats in your head now's "TONGUE?? oh my Goofy in his sexy lingerie!!!!" Yes.. I've had my tongue stitched first, then my right leg. I had my tongue stitched when I was a little baby, my babysitter wasn't responsible nuff' she carried me and my teeth bit my tongue, and I cried. So she was scared and put me to bed to sleep. My mum found me on the bed sleeping surrounded by blood.. hmm..
And the other 2 on my legs were gotten when I was around the age of 4? I broke a BIG ornament in the shape of a dog, and I sat on it. LOL! So I have 1 on my calf & 1 on my thigh.
4. My first so called "boyfriend" was Polish
LOL! Yeap, he was originated from Warsaw, Poland. His name is Michael and we were pretty much together since primary 4 till primary 5 LOL!!! Okay. This, once again might freak you out. Since we didnt know much about "love" or the "boyfriend & girlfriend" thing.. We do not kiss on lips n all.. He kinda bit my hand.. I dont know why. Polish flirting method? LOL! And a lot of other girls liked him as well, but he liked me best =) HAH!
5. 2 minutes are enough for me to shower
I know some of you know this. But well.. for those who dont.. Many guys have find it quite surprising, since girls would normally take hours no? Well, I used to take 2 hours to shower. But that was when I was 12 and wasted soaps & conditioners on my daily naked and inedible cook show in front of the mirror.
6. I used to speak French
Well.. I used to.. Now I really J'e ne se pas whatever you speak in francais. It was really hard okay... I mean come on. A table is a SHE and a chair is a HE....or the other way round. It was THAT hard...
7. I used to be a netball captain in my U18 team (Highschool)
I mean how cool was that!!! But I dropped out after quite some time, since I kept being punished for doing mistakes on the game (30 laps on FOOTBALL FIELD okay!!!) and I had to do final projects on my design technology subject.. so yea..
8. I argue with my bf ALOT
I don't know when we're gonna be 100% perfectly fine, I don't even know if its gonna happen. But whatever it is, let Mr.JC in heaven lead the way!
9. I only take BROWN caramel popcorns
With that, I mean I pick my caramel popcorns. I don't eat the white ones. I take the ones that are covered with ALOT of caramels.. yumm... and I taught my nephew to do so too.. (I shouldn't.. now who's gonna eat all the white ones..)
10. Sweets make me happy!! and fat
I am a HUGE fan of sweet stuff.. I have sweet tooth!!!! My teeth are not being too supportive of me eating lots of sweet stuff though =( ... however I'm trying to cut down on sweets now since I'm supposed to be on a diet LOL!!
11. I blame Roti Canai on making me fat in the first place.
I mean seriously. I was nice and lean when I was in Jakarta as a kid. And just after I moved to Melaka, I fell deeply in love with roti canai and ate it everyday lunch time in school. AHHH!!! If I did not do that, I dont even need to be on a diet!!!!!
12. I'm interested with lotsa things, but I dont completely master any.
I know it sucks right. Such a bad behavior. Such as, I used to be crazy with clay.. and now I'm too lazy to even mold one. And miniatures, cooking, nail art, and so on and so forth.
13. I still kiss and hug my parents goodnight
It has been like that since the first time I learn to talk. I always have this drill "Good night, sweet dreams, God Bless You, I love you!" And I do the cross sign on their forehead and kiss them on the cheek. WEE!!!
14. I keep all my birthday cards, diaries & gifts
Yes, even if I wrote about my super ex boyfriend, their gifts, enemies' birthday cards for me and all sorts of stuff. I keep them all.
15. I WILL lose 10kgs of my weight!!!
It might not be soon, but it WILL happen!! Maybe when I get rich and get personal trainer or something... And lipo on all the other excess fats. HAHAHA!!!
And oh.. I'm not gonna tag anyone since I'm too lazy to do it..
But feel free to do it whoever you are!!! =) LOL!!
I watched the X-files today with my parents... it was okay! Not too shabby... but my mum fell asleep in the starting of the movie, she always does that, and she'll be automatically awake in the fun part of the movie. LOL!
And, Vinson came over to my place yesterday... we swam & ate the baked pasta I made. Then we went to Plaza Mont Kiara for the Jazz Festival this year. IT SUX! Big time!!!!

50 Cents Coin
Every morning I would walk down the street to buy newspaper, I could smell the fresh baked bread from the bakery that I have been working for during my summer holiday; as usual I would see beggars and illegal guitar performers on the street trying to make money for their living. The surroundings were packed with people pushing each other trying to make their way to their offices.
After I bought my newspaper, I would normally give the small change to the beggars. Unlike other people who passed by, who would just take a glance at them and walk pass as if they were invisible. Everyone seemed so disgusted by the beggars as if they were suffering from a contagious disease like leprosy. But one beggar caught my eye that morning. He was around the age of fourteen and he looked horrible. With his tattered white shirt and his patched jeans, he looked at me and smiled when I slipped him the 50 cent coin into his bowl. His face burst into delight by the 50 cent coin I put into his bowl. At that moment, the urge to help him to start his life over again overcame me, because I know that behind his filthy face I could see the kindness in his eyes. I smiled back at him and decided to make that day a day he would never forget. I rushed back to the bakery and told the owner that I would be taking a day off. I brought the beggar to a department store nearby; he appeared to be so alienated from his surrounding, everyone started to stare at the both of us, wondering why I was holding the filthy boy’s hand, rushing him through the store and ignoring everybody around. However, I tried to make him more comfortable by smiling at him. I then bought him some clean clothes and took him home. He was astonished and looked flabbergasted on the treatment he was receiving. He looked uneasy because he had never had all these luxuries bestowed. I told him to clean up and change into his new clothes that I had just bought for him. He was transferred into a very decent boy and good-looking too. He was overjoyed that he could not stop smiling, his face appeared brighter and his eyes sparkled with delight. I myself felt satisfied because I had done a wonderful deed that day.
After he was cleaned up, I took him to have a proper meal in a small restaurant close to my apartment. He was overwhelmed with delight he could not begin to express his feelings. While we were eating, we spent some of the time chit-chatting as well. He told me about his past and his personal life. His name is Jacob and he claimed that he used to be rich until his father’s business brace bankruptcy. After the tragedy happened, his suffering life began; first he worked for his uncle until his mother passed away from cancer. He started to sob. After the death of his mother he used his savings to buy a ticket to the city and tried to ask for a job, but without any job experience he could not see any way to get his life moving. Nobody seemed to take pity on him or realise that he was in his deepest and most tragic moment. He decided to beg for money down the street near my working place. I was somehow glad that this happened as that gave me the opportunity to meet and help him through this day. So, we got along well and we became close friends after few hours of knowing each other. I was amazed that a street beggar could end up being a really conversant and friendly too.
We decided to meet each other again after that day. However, he was doubtful as he felt quite uncomfortable in my presence. The fact that I was rich and he was poor. He could not afford anything without my help and he felt guilty about it. He had no qualifications to look for a job because his father was bankrupt when he was six years old and he had stopped going to school since then. One day he asked me he would love to work for me as a servant, even though he had no experience but he would want to learn to serve his true life saver and his role model, me. But I was confused and I was not sure how this relationship was going to go. If I did not hire him, he would still stay as the beggar down the same street, but if I hired him I would feel it would not be right as a friend does not work for a friend as a servant. Not as a servant. Even though I would feel guilty if I disallowed him to work for me, I made that decision. I decided to keep him as a friend and only a friend, I would help him by lending him money no matter how much he needs, but not lead a life of servitude to me.
After the day that he asked me to hire him, he suddenly disappeared for two days without any news from him. I felt that it was because he was disappointed that I had rejected his suggestion. But he must have realised that I will not stop helping him until he could start to stand alone on his two feet. However, I was quite worried but in my heart I knew that he would be unhurt. But the next morning, I heard a doorbell on my door and once I opened the door, there was no one there, only a small jewellery box which has a pair of earrings in it and also a piece of paper
Written: Please accept this gratuity, you have taught me a lot. I would not have known this much without you. I didn’t know how to repay your kindness and gentleness...
I thank you with all my heart.
With Love,
Jacob
I heard footsteps fading in the pathways. I was so surprised and I thought it would be him. I raced towards him but he was gone. I could only remember him through the letter that he gave me. If only I allowed him to work for me, it would not have ended this way. I regretted what I had decided. I tried to tell myself that he was gone, I tried to forget him but it was hard. I felt that I will never have a chance to see him again. Never.
A year after that incident, I had to get on with my life much as it was difficult I carried on. As usual, I would buy a newspaper every morning, and on the way I slipped small coins to the beggars’ bowls and smiled at them. Just that there was one beggar missing on that same street, Jacob. When I reached home I sat on my cosy sofa with my hot chocolate in one hand, and my newspaper on the other. And while I was reading my newspaper calmly, I was distracted by the FED-EX delivery man who was on my doorstep ringing the door bell. I opened the door and received a box with a beautiful wrapping and a big red ribbon on the top. I was confused as to who it was from. With confusion in my heart and tingling feeling in my stomach, I opened the box and there was a letter and a gorgeous elegant red dress inside. It was from Jacob! I could not believe what I saw. The letter said to meet him at eight in the evening in “Le Moulin Bleu”, a French restaurant near the bakery I worked for a year ago.
I arrived there one hour early because of the confusion that I was trying to work out, on how Jacob could afford this gown. At 8 p.m. sharp, a black glamorous limousine arrived and the butler opened the door for the passenger sitting at the back. The passenger came out of the limousine wearing his tuxedo and smiling with a big bouquet of different types of flowers in different colours too. The passenger was Jacob. I was so surprised and jumped up of the bench outside the restaurant. He was charming that night; we talked all night and ate at the French restaurant. However, the puzzle was not solved yet. I asked him how he got so rich, he answered that he had been always rich. He just wanted to find a true friend who will accept him no matter how rich or poor he was, and that was me. I could not believe what had happened that night. The filthy boy that had been begging had finally found a true friend and that was none other than me.
