Indomie Goreng

when you are facing two choices...

pretty hard choices that you have to choose..

between

buying Indomie Goreng in a minimarket or buying it at warung bapak-bapak tua near your neighbourhood....

Okay, I am a little bit overboard here but you know, it's important. I mean it's serious, at least for me.


Here's the case :

In Alfamart there's a big sale of Indomie goreng. You know, this noodle- that you have known since you were a kid- is the most delicious instant fried noodle ever! :-D.

If I'm not mistaken the cost per pack is Rp.1250,
please correct me if i'm wrong.
And in this minimarket they sell it Rp.500
I don't know why they can do this, you know selling the most delicious instant noodle,
I state it again, selling the most delicious instant noodle ever with only Rp.500!






meanwhile, bapak-bapak tua near your neighbourhood sell it too, but in normal price.
I mean normal for the retail seller, around Rp.1300-Rp.1500.


Nah, between this two choices. Which one will I choose?
formerly, I'll choose this Rp.500-Indomie Goreng.
Especially, when I was "anak kost".
We- me and my friends at the boarding house- are those who used to love everything's cheap and free :-D,
until now actually.



but, one night my brother ask me, what you get if you choose the big-sale one??

yeah, yeah, yeah....
Let say you want to buy 5 packs of indomie, with that simple math, you know that you'll get Rp.4000 off if you buy it there,
and what you get from Rp.4000?? another indomie goreng, some cookies, candies or what??


but in the other hand, If you choose this warung bapak-bapak tua in your neighbourhood, what will you get??
of course you'll lose that Rp.4000


but something more precious you will get...

you know, how that bapak-bapak tua thank you for the choice, how he pray for you because of that little thing you've done for him...


and what does it mean???

that means more than just that Rp.4000....
