3 shopping malls in 4 hours
The good thing of living in Medan is, there is no toll in town and we don’t need to spend hours to go to one places. It is so much smaller than Jakarta that we are able to go to 3 malls within hours. Going to 3 malls in a day wasn’t my intention, it happened cause of some misunderstanding.
First, is Brastagi Supermarket (further than Carrefour). Mum said there is discount for all products in the supermarket if we pay using the Citibank credit card. She saw the ads on the newspaper.
Later on we found out the hidden t&c from the information center. We need to shop at least IDR.500.000 then only we are eligible for the lucky dip. The prize goes from the lowest one which is Oreo to 20% discount and so on. The highest prize is, free shopping, which means no need to pay at all. -__-”
After the grocery shopping, we went to Plaza Medan Fair. Mum thought I was referring to City ice cream cafe at Medan Fair. It supposed to be Medan Plaza, the lau ya oldest mall in town. What a misunderstanding. We ended up buying some books from the Kharisma bookstore.
After that, we finally went to Medan Plaza. It’s been don’t know how many years already. The 4 of us looked like aliens stranded in that place, cos I barely saw any Chinese patrons there. -__-”
Anyway, the mission to Medan Plaza was to take picture of my work (wallpaper) at the newly open City - ice cream cafe at the 4th floor. Yes, just for one wallpaper!
We also had a dinner there cos phaise if I went in just for the sake of taking pictures.
It’s amazing to see the artwork comes alive in such a big size. I mean, it’s no longer trapped inside this 19″ lcd where only me, myself and I can see it. And it will stay there for as long as possible until the owner decides to have a make over session.
Self satisfaction. A feeling that money can’t buy.
