Home Alone

This week, my life became somehow about the same like I was 4 years ago. I used to live in a room, together with the other house inhabitants (couldn't find better phrase, mind you). This time, the circumstances are a little bit different. I had to live in a house, alone, as the rest of my family went to Semarang for holiday.

Back at the time when I was at Bandung, whenever I got a sudden need of any particular thing, (for example: basic needs such as foods, soap, etc) all I needed to do was to grab my motorcycle and ride it to the nearest shop (such as Super Indo) and do the shopping.

This time, shopping for the basic needs is not as easy as it was.

Even though the nearest shopping center near my house is Carrefour ITC Kuningan, the process going there is a pain indeed. I have to drive through that almost-always-traffic-jammed-street Prof. Dr. Satrio and get to Mal Ambasador. Inside the parking lot, I have to find a empty space enough to park my car through the congested parkways. And, as if all those trouble aren't enough, I had to go shopping in the hectic Carrefour, just to buy some (compared to 'many' and 'lots of') bottles of milk.

Fortunately this won't last forever, and by the weekend I'll be going to Bandung! Hell yeah :D!
