Thursday Ride: – A Very Hot Day
It was a very hot day this morning. It was 34 degrees celsius. After I picked up my first daughter from school, I wanted to ride with my wife. I planned to withdraw some money from an ATM center. The ATM center was not closed to my house. It was about 30 minutes of riding on a motorcycle. I did not go with my children because my motorcycle could only load three people while I had three children. I went with my wife. .My son played out with his friends. My daughters played with a handphone at home.
It was around 12.30 PM. The sun shone brightly. I stopped by a mini market where there were some ATMs. There was a big car box that unloaded products in front of the store. I entered the ATM counter and, sadly, the money was empty in the ATM box of my bank card. Then I decided to go to another bank branch around 2 kilometers from the mini market.
I got to the bank office, I went straight to the ATM counter. Done, I was happy because the money was available.
After that, I rode to a gas station to refill my motorcycle. In Indonesia, the fuel station is managed by Pertamina. There were queues of motorcycles at the fuel station. I should join in the lines. It took me around 10 minutes.
A liter of fuel (pertalite) for motorcycles costs 7500 IDR, or $0.6. while higher-spec fuel costs around $0.9 per liter. It is called Pertamax. I refilled 1.5 litres of pertalite. Then I went to a butcher.
It is a traditional butcher. The butcher slaughtered the poultry when there was a customer, so the meat was always fresh from this butcher. I bought a chicken. It was somewhere around $2.3.
On the way home, I offered my wife to stop at a Bakso counter. Bakso is a traditional dish. It is a kind of beef meatball soup with some noodles and green bean sprouts. It has been a long time since I last got together with my wife. I told her that it was like when we were on a date before we got married... .. haha lol... … . We always spent the weekends together at that time. so lovely......😍😍😘
We enjoyed the tasty bakso. I bought three portions of Pangsit for my kids at home. Pangsit is a kind of noodle with some spiced chicken and vegetables. My kids do not like bakso, so I bought them pangsit.
After leaving the bakso food counter, I rode home. I called my kids. My daughters were taking naps because they had exams in school and they were tired. I called my son to eat the pangsit. He looked hungry and enjoyed the pangsit.
Thanks for reading my post. I hope you enjoy it.
