last day i were walking with a friend in one of mall in bandung. yes dumb fuck its a date! there were so many things that i could see there, big capital letters were standing huge in front of every counter, a big posters with pretty models that shows how match those clothes weared on them, a guys name were wroten in every clothes they've got. welcome to new market world, where people praised a things ..
i remember what Baudrillard says, he says that products are valued not because of this added value or even because of their use value. Rather, things are prized for their symbolic value. hehe.. next pit stop were in starbucks cafe, i'm ordering egg salad sandwich and a glass of cold milk coffee. and i'm sure you guys could figure it out by your self how much the prices for those kind of things. fuck! the servant says that the coffee were imported from africa, gosh! is aceh and medan coffee were means nothing to those african coffee? aceh and medan coffee got more delicious taste than that african things. mmm whatever! i skip this, i dont wanna enjoy my meal with thinking this things. hehe.. after take an unimporting conversation and few flirt, we finally go home. she took her way home by driving her cars, and i'm driving mine. its a great conversation with her, but not on the condition that i love. i hate hanging around on that such a place, starbucks. people were buying product that were got symbolic value. did they know or realized how much people on south america were dying because this retails coffee outlet shop? did they know or realized how many local coffee farmers were broke down because this retails coffee outlet shop? maybe some of them knows but not realized. yap, what a date..
