Life is spinning, and life style won’t left away. Many habit that almost people do, have been their own life style. Start to consuming goods or some products, to the many activities that cover the society’s life which living in city.
The yard floor on Cihampelas Walk (Ciwalk) Mall in Bandung still wet. The trees that decorated around the mall’s street also still leave behind a drop of water that hanging on the leafes. The cleaning services busy enough to mop the first floor of mall’s enter door. And when I look around, this mall just quiet for a visitors.
That noon (22/01), rain falling almost Bandung city. When I went from my house in Gagak Street, drizzle appears with the cold wind blows. The weather of Bandung city often change extremely now. From morning, the sun feel so brightly shining. But when noon come, the sky suddenly cloudy. The sun which so bright, suddenly cover with black cloud.
Maybe this is cause Ciwalk not too much people to visit. I was went there with a two friends, and that day isn’t weekend. When entered Ciwalk, some people seen talking in little tends in around of J.CO Donuts & Coffee. And I start to take a picture.
Eventhough the air was cold enough, they seen comfort to talk. Maybe, that comfortable created because the warm form a cup of Coffee Latte or Cappucino which they drink. This is a part of society’s life style in modern time. Generally, in big city like Bandung, just talking or hang out in high class coffee shop like J.CO or Starbucks become some habit. Hang out being so important to “release” all of tired time after whole week activities.
Of course, every person have different way to calm their tired time. One of them, with visit mall with friends, partner and colleagues, or family. Ciwalk, can describe, how many people looking for entertaint or hang out place with visiting mall. No exception for two girls of Senior High School student that I catch their picture at that time. They still wearing white-grey uniform when walking behind the stores and restaurants in Ciwalk.
From the performance, Ciwalk designed with different style than other mall. It’s not only high building, but Ciwalk also giving different atmosphere with “green” decoration. Flowers and trees decorated around this mall. Not only that, structural of restaurant and stores also design attractively.
Out of the Ciwalk high building, line up the restaurants and stores which decorate just like café beside the street in foreign country. And between two side of line that stores, there’s little stands which selling so many things. Start from accessories until fancy plants. This perfect design added with Palm tree in the middle of the two side of stores. And a lot of flowers on pot hanging in the pillar of the building. Also, bench park arrange spread out in whole yard of Ciwalk.
Come close to night, me and my friends just fillin’ our stomach in one of the restaurant which cheap enough and also delicious in Ciwalk. In second floor, I had a chance to take a picture again. From there, I take the atmosphere of Ciwalk that still the same as when I arrive in noon.
And tonight is gonna be late. The air feel colder. But I’m not alone, because the jokes and talks with both of my friends can warming tonight. Not just like them who drink some delicious Coffee Latte or Cappucino.
