Eating Wisely...

3 comments
This afternoon.. eh, well.. yesterday afternoon, my best friend Rendy asked me, Rikza, and Alf to have lunch together for his birthday party. We should gathered at 14.00 at Bandung Super Mall, the biggest mall in the city (at least for now), but thanks to 'telat berangkat' and 'Angkot ngetem mantep banget' problems, I arrived at 15.00.

Fortunately, everybody can understand... seems their passion of having free lunch as fast as possible is so enormous that it beats the passion of beating their cool friend who comes late for almost 1 hour :D


So, here we are, eating buffet at Sapo Oriental resto. It's Chinese restaurant, and they had all-you-can-eat program so we can order as much as we like. The cool part is, the all-you-can-eat menus is not so much different than the normal menu. We decide to use it as wise as possible.. hehe...

Rendy told us a secret.. never eat noodles, vegetables, and things that would quickly make your stomach full. He also said that meats is the best menu to order. So, we decided to go that way. Carnivore rules!!

In short, during our short visit there, we ordered all of sapo menus (except shrimp roll which already sold out and sapo broccoli.. because it has vegetables in it), two of four kind of soups, and so many foods which have meat as their main ingredients.

We ate for 1,5 hours before we had enough (except Rikza.. I guess..). I'm sure the waiter were relieved just a step after we went out. We ordered so many foods which are normally priced Rp30.000,00 each with only Rp230.000,00 for all foods and for each person.

In the end, I just wonderin... Are we the one who were too clever to use the opportunity? Or it was another miscalculation program from the restaurant's manager? :p

I just hope there will be no pictures of us in the restaurant.. saying that these guys are dangerous.. bancrupt-maker.. :p

Hungry ATM Machine...

2 comments
Last Friday, I tried to retrieve some money from the campus ATM. These past days, there had been many expenses. Posting scholarship make the most of them. I had no phone credits (Still using my pre-paid :p ), a printer ink to be filled in, and had only twenty thousand Rupiah in my pocket for weekend. Hopefully, this ATM could save my life.

So, I entered my ATM card as usual.. entered the PIN number.. and the screen displayed "You didn't take your ATM card in the time range we provided. We will keep your card in the ATM".

Great... Just when I need it...

I phoned the bank and told them to block my card. Since I had a practicum test to be prepared, I should wait until Monday to go to the Bank and get my card back. As for my weekend? hehe... I was fortunate enough to have a credit from my parents... :p

So, Monday afternoon I went to the bank. At first, the customer service told me to wait about two or three days until I can get my card. But since I was insisting with an excuse that I would go travelled by the next day, she tried to fasten the procedure. And guess what, after she called here and there, the card was already inside the cupboard behind her ^^'

Shortly, I got my card. After I got it, I asked the customer service whether the campus ATM had already fixed. Convincingly, she stated that for ATM machines, the bank never let them down for days. It was a relief, because I want to return the money I borrowed from my parents as soon as possible. Credit is credit dude... no matter who did you get the credit from.

Afternoon in the same day I got my card back, I returned to the campus ATM...

I entered my ATM card as usual.. entered the PIN number.. and the screen displayed "You didn't take your ATM card in the time range we provided. We will keep your card in the ATM".


The ATM machine must be hungry...

that's my scream in the middle of the afternoon...

Feeling hungry but unable to eat, I decided to look on my e-mail. Whoa! there's a comment from my friends on the blog. So, I look go to this URL (Yup! Exactly the same as the one you read now!). The comments was funny... But in a sudden, I'm just thinking to change this blog's title. So, I go to my edit page...

FYI, ladies... (oh yeah, and gentleman.. too..) I often goes online from my campus. Since the Internet connection cached to Japanese server, everytime I go to my blog's URL, the site is displayed in Japanese Hiragana or Katakana (Whoa!)

It's my first time to edit my blog's setting from the campus (using 'Japanese' interface, of course). And later, the button which I thought to be 'Save' button... is a button for 'Delete Your Blog' instead...

And that's how the screaming comes... :D

But well... at least now I can open up a new page... fresh from my past.. from my final project... towards a new Journey...
