winter in jakarta

winter comes in various forms. in most european countries it comes as snows, australia sometimes hails like crazy, not to mention the cold breezes, while in indonesia (particularly in jakarta), it comes in the shape of shopping malls (=_= i know, right). believe you me, it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. in fact i'm walking in one right now (with the miracle of mobile blogging, of course :p) and i couldn't help but feel the chill. and it made me think... what the heck were these malls' owners thinking when they built em?!

but i guess you get to wear sweaters, wools, coats or whatever garments that keep you warm. so is it just a tool to help market fashionable clothings that are actually unnecessary in tropical countries? maybe to satisfy the demands of those oh-so-many socialites lingering in and around jakarta? hmm.. talk about a poor country. and don't even ask me about the environmental issues (seriously, don't ask, coz i know nothing about it hehe).

anyways, i'm off for a haircut :p

laters!
