Yo, lemme tell ya about my day in Srono. Man, what a rollercoaster! So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window. I’m like, “Today’s gonna be lit!” Spoiler alert: it was not.
First stop, Jalan Raya Srono. I’m cruisin’ down the street, feelin’ all fresh. But then, bam! Traffic jam. Like, seriously? It’s 8 AM! I’m sittin’ there, fuming. I could’ve sworn I saw a snail pass me. Ugh!
Finally, I get to the mall. Srono Plaza, baby! It’s huge, like, you could get lost in there. I’m on a mission to find this cute dress for a client. She’s all about that boho vibe, ya know? I hit up every store. I’m talkin’ H&M, Zara, even that little boutique on Jalan Diponegoro.
But here’s the kicker. I find the perfect dress. It’s hanging there, all flowy and pretty. I grab it, rush to the fitting room, and guess what? It’s too small! Like, who do they think I am? A twig? I’m not a size zero, people! I’m about to lose it.
So, I’m in the fitting room, and I start talkin’ to myself. “C’mon, girl, it’s just a dress.” But I’m mad. I mean, why can’t they make clothes for real people? I’m about to throw a tantrum.
After that drama, I decide to grab some food. I hit up this warung on Jalan Srono. Best nasi goreng ever! I’m munchin’ away, and this old dude next to me starts tellin’ me about his life. He’s like, “Back in my day…” and I’m just nodding, but inside I’m like, “Dude, I just wanna eat!”
Then, outta nowhere, it starts pouring. I mean, like, monsoon level. I dash out, but I’m soaked in seconds. I’m laughin’ at myself, like, “Great, just great.” I look like a drowned rat.
I finally make it to the next client. She’s at a café on Jalan Pahlawan. I’m still drippin’ wet, and she’s all dressed up. I’m like, “Sorry, I didn’t know we were doin’ a fashion show!” But she laughs, and it lightens the mood.
We chat about styles, and she’s super chill. I show her the dress, and she’s like, “OMG, I love it!” I’m thinkin’, “Phew, saved the day!” But then she wants shoes. So, we hit up this shoe store on Jalan Merdeka.
I’m tryin’ to keep it together, but I’m exhausted. I’m like, “Can we just find some cute sandals and call it a day?” But nooo, she wants to try on every pair. I’m sittin’ there, scrolling through my phone, and I see a meme about shopping. I laugh out loud, and she gives me a weird look. Oops!
Finally, we find the shoes. Thank goodness! I’m ready to head home. But wait, there’s more! I step outside, and it’s still raining. I’m like, “Are you kidding me?” I pull out my umbrella, and it flips inside out. Classic!
I’m trudging back to my car, soaked and tired. But then, I see this street performer on Jalan Srono. He’s playin’ the guitar, and it’s actually good. I stop, listen for a bit, and it makes me smile. Like, this is why I love Srono. It’s chaotic, but it’s got heart.
So, I finally get to my car, and I’m like, “What a day!” I’m beat, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Srono, you crazy, but I love ya!
