Enjoying 'Me Time'

Don’t stay at home. Go get life!

Well, lately I spent most of the time on works and campus thingy. I didn’t have a ‘quality me time’. Then, a little voice inside my head stroke and told, “You should go a world away to get a frolic!” 

So when I heard my dad would go to Jakarta. I decided straightly that I’d go with him. Actually, Jakarta is not the best place to go. Polluted air, noises of vehicles...what could be worse? Anyhow I just want to get outta home for a moment to refresh mind. And who knows I will find something in my so-not-great-escape.

Quoting what the editor of The Journeys: Kisah Perjalanan Para Pencerita says. An interesting thing when travelling is finding something. Even though in the end you get nothing, it’s still called 'finding'. No?

Going to the malls is the only choice you had when you are in a metropolitan city. Thus, I went wandering to Bintaro Plaza by myself. After walking round the shopping stalls and stores, I stopped by at a book store. And something happens. A little girl (forgot to ask her name) came to me and begged secretly if I could give her money. She wanted to buy a uniform and shoes. I asked her where she studied and what her parents did. I found her story somewhat touching so I thought it would be better if I gave her a few bucks. Wish I could help more.

J.Co donuts was my next stop. A dozen of baby donuts and big cup of iced cappuccino officially became my loyal partner that afternoon. I kept drinking and counted the people that pass by to kill the time. Finally, I got my 'quality-me-time'! without any interruption from anyone.

Perfect companions in my secluded afternoon.
