12 Hours in Plaza Senayan

I always felt jealous to those ibu’s who are seen walking around the mall with their cute babies and nannies all day when I had 1.5 hour maximum for lunch. I thought, if only I had longer time to spend in the mall it would be the perfect moment for me. When it happened, it’s [...]
