Beat The Fear!


Hi.. Hi..

As my word in the previous post...
now i'm gonna share my slide experience..

Yesterday, my friends and i went to FX Sudirman, that replace Sudirman palace.

I've arrived there for around 13.30 then i directly meet my friends...
Actually we were agree to meet there at 11.00 but because i'd an assignment to do.. so i have finished it first, before i have a fun time..

After met them (Yonis, Alfons, Recca, Adrian, Evelyn, Jesicca, Andrew, Lindy, and Linsy) we walked together...
i look that the place was so fancy and interesting....
you won't meet any blank white wall there... it must be something made or done with the wall..
They play with art, sculpture, acrylics, and paints...


it made from bottles


in front of the "Dream" wall


Our main purpose gather there is to see each other and tried the ATMOSFEAR!!

closer look


But before we tried it we have to buy something at there with minimum purchase Rp 1,-
than we have to change the receipt at the counter..... But! we have to queue in long line...
luckily i didn't have to get through that, because my friend had done it before i've arrived.. hahahahaha... Thanks to all of you ma friends!!


We change the receipt with a chance.. guessing eight cards to get the atmosfear ticket...
Mmmmm.. i wonder that some of the smart kids will guess it in a glance... hahahaha..

(some people understand why those kids can lah..... ^ ^)

After we got 10 tickets... we have to go to the 7th floor to slide....
then....... we have to queue again in a looooooooonggggg line..... before we wait for a long time...

Alfons told us that the person who are on duty at it, will have a break in 15 min. and the slider will be open in one hour a head...

So we decided to have a lunch first at Green pepper... its kinda foodcourt there.
Most of us eat chicken noodles with mushroom and meat balls..
after eat we went back to the 7 th floor... and we find that the queue is longer than before...
hahahaha....


a long long way to go...


We wait there for more than an hour.... we do chit chat, jokes, visualization to jessica and evelyn
^ ^ and chewing a gum to kill the time...


Honestly i was so scared when we got our turn to go.... so nervous... aaaarrghhh!! , but i changed my mindset quickly... i talked to my mind that it just a common slider... it save... its gonna be so fun...

Then we went to the area where we have to use a helmet, and other guard thing...
at the mouth of it we have to get into a kind of palstic sack then we pushed and......

whoooozzzz...... we slide so fast untill my helmet wanna rid off...

Finally i've beat Atmosfear!!

Then we got back to the 7th floor to get our belongings, take photographs in front of the 1001 board on the first floor.


fearless board


Tired of waiting and playing we got into Starbuck to have a cup of coffe and frape.... Then one by one went back home... first Andrew, then Adrian, Jessica and Evelyn, Younish, Lindy and Linsy, then Alfons, Recca and i...



chit chat at Starbuck

Ah.. what a fun day!



Warmly Regards,

The highlights:
- Beat your fear and feel the relief...
- Be patient and you'll get your happiness...
