Having Fun a la ME: S H O P P I N G

I went to the post office to send a packet for a friend after school. Then when got off the school bus, my friend Detty offered herself to accompany me. Who could say no for a company :-). So then we went together.

The post office lady was very kind and offered me to send in express or regular, well, i chose the cheaper one because i only have 150.000 rupiah. I remembered the last time i sent packet abroad, it cost me 400 something thousands rupiah. So, the regular was the one that i could afford.
.... And off you go, packet, to South Korea. Farewell, hope you can arrived safe and sound...

The plan after post office was having dinner. but then Detty mentioned about buying shampoo. So, i accompanied her to SurKen (Surya Kencana street, china town in Bogor), and i confidently said that i knew the shop. Off we went to Grand, quite old swalayan. We took angkot 02 from in front of post office in Jl. Juanda and got off right in front of the shop.

So, the plan is to buy shampoo and conditioner. We went inside, and were in awe of the products it sells. Grand is smaller compared to Giant, but you can find almost everything there (one thing i couldn't find was a 5'8", tan and functioned). So, back to us, we were in food aisle, and i touched almost everything and stared at every package displayed. I was going to buy marsmellow because if its cute shape, watermelon! Then we went along the aisle, around and around, and found more interesting stuff. We didn't take any shopping basket since we wanted to buy shampoo ONLY.
I just couldn't help it! I grabbed pitted prunes, it's hard to find it, you see.. Then, the fun had just begun!
I didn't realise how excited i was till Detty told me that i kept saying "OOH..Oooh!!" with buldging eyes and mouth-circled shape. But we both were so bad. Detty kept touching everything in green color, even a small plastic chair, plastic container, etc, etc.. When we were done with first floor, we finally took a basket each and went upstair.

Detty: There are two ways, which one will we go to?
Putri : Here on the right, FIRST. Then we will go there (pointing the other stair)
Detty : OK!
So, we went exploring the second floor and was amazed of what we found there. From mugs to waching machines, from floor brush to cooking pan, from barbeque box to 'cobek' (a stone mortar used with a stone pestle).

cobek

So, after satisfied going around the 2nd floor, the 3rd is our last destination. They have even more amazing stuff there. Plastic from all sizes, loyang (brass) and imitated flowers, and stationaries. In the end we stuffed our basket with: candle nut oil, 24 pencils, 16 erasers, cutters, panceke pan, 2 packages of pitted prunes, measuring spoons, candles, 2 kinds of floor brushes, raisins, hair mask, shampoo+conditioner, cheese, bread and floor cleaner. At first we were going to buy shampoo and conditioner ONLY.

Then we went for dinner in a chinese restaurant and played with the son of the owner who were bubbling to us.

And we decided to walk home since it's quite close to our house. So, we had these: floor brush with long handle + all that shopping bags + creative idea + guts =

THIS!

We carried our shopping bags home in style :D. "Ringan sama dijinjing, berat sama dipikul" - Indonesian proverb which detty said represent out style. I also bought banana on the way back, which we put on the "shopping handle", and somehow some of the bananas fell down and got stepped by me.
Anyway,we had a good laugh, even until my stomach was so hard and couldn't walk.

Shopping is always fun, anywhere you do it, with the right shopping partner ;-).
