Cempaka Mas Mall

The participants were eager to go shopping in Cempaka Mass Mall. The bus arrived and parked, everyone got off the bus. The females go to different direction with males. Finally they found out that the females go to the wrong direction. When they realized it, they turned and go to the opposite direction. Actually there were notices along the way telling which way to take. But maybe they just don’t realize it. I tried to wait for others in the entrance door.
We did not directly enter the main door of the mall, but instead they went to the prayer room. I went to second floor, fourth floor and the other way around. Finally I stranded in Gramedia-the bookstore. I browsed the books mainly about computer. The I moved to other displays and I saw the flash disk. The flash disk reminded me about Yuli, then I sent message to Yuli to tell her about the price and whether or not I should buy one for her. As during the break I found out that Yuli need one. Yuli opened the message and tried to contact me, she made about 6 calls unfortunately a mall is not a good place to make phone calls. Got frustrated finally she replied the sms. I knew that Yuli doesn’t like using the sms. Some people found out that sms is really impractical; typing the letter one by one is really no fun. On the contrary I have been using the sms for years with my bulky NOKIA 9210i I can type the sms as I do typing in a computer. It is Qwerty-the lay out of letter in a key pad just like the one in the computer keyboard.

I thought there is no reason for me to buy her a flash disk, she has got one and it is ok. The only reason why she wants to buy the new one is that it is full. Then I got an idea instead of buying her a new flash disk it’s better for me to buy her several blank cds. So that I can back up her flash disk in the cd, and she can use her flash disk for other purpose.

I went upstairs to the cd store accompanied by Azhari, Bisri and Amin. Makmun did not join us because he needs to find open air so he can light a cigarette. They went into the lift. They got off in the fourth floor and headed to the computer software store, Bisri bought sound editing software, Azhari bought windows with Arabic enabled. And I bought some blank CDs, I spent Rp 9.000,- for the CDs. .

Then they checked out from the computer store. They got into the lift and down to the first floor. But they split, Azhari and I stick together while Bisri and Amin took other direction. Azhari and I got difficulty to locate the exit door. After asking for direction to the passer by finally we found the way out. They directly go to the parking area. Azhari stayed out of the bus, I got into the bus. Azhari offered me something to drink, but I said: “No, thank you”.and off I jumped into the bus. I realized that I have not finished my lunch. I grabbed the lunch box and finished it. Not long after that Yuli and Eny appeared, they carried a lot of stuff. She came into the bus and sat in her chair. She had a casual conversation with me, while finishing her meal. She told me that the stuff she bought is for her friend back home. I told her that I didn’t buy her the flash disk but I bought blank CDs instead. She handed a 100.000,- (one hundred thousand bill) to me, I kept it. But I keep thinking how I could give the money back to Yully. Finally by the end of the training I reloaded her hand phone via the nearest ATM.

Everyone has got back to the bus except for Saiful and Bambang. Saiful had a hard bargaining for the clothes, while Bambang told everyone that he lost the way. So he spent much time going around and around to find the exit door. Finally everyone understood. The bus moved slowly leaving the Cempaka Mas Mall, a long the way everyone is singing, they sang old song and changed part of the lyric. So instead of Widuri they said Niduri or Sudarti.
