down town to do some shopping in one of the best shopping centres. It is called
Mentari Mart.
I bought a lot of things; snacks,
health products, and some clothes. I was very happy because that day everything
was 20% off. I spent around 500 thousand rupiahs.
After about an hour, I decided to
leave the mart and went to a restaurant nearby to have lunch. I ordered my
lunch and for the desert. I had some ice cream. I enjoyed my meals and asked
for the check. Did you know what happened? I was so surprised when I tried to
get my wallet in my backpack. I could not find it, it was stolen.
I felt so panic and did not know
what to do next. Then, I tried to call my parents at home using my cellular
phone. Fortunately, there were at home and promised to come soon. No more than
25 minutes, they got in. then the check was paid. After that, we went home with
some goods in my shopping bag.
