DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 187: ENJOYING THE NIGHT IN JAKARTA

    Melian has been studying in Jakarta for a week. Living with friends in the dorm, of course, many interesting stories. Friends who come from various regions, must have a variety of experiences. Living in a magnificent dormitory with luxurious facilities, is definitely common for students whose family background is rich. At home, they are familiar with luxury goods, such as AC, sower with heating water, cable TV, refrigerator, dispenser, washing machine, and the use of microwave cookers to warm food. These are all common things that must be in the home of a wealthy family. But for students who have never used luxury items at home, of course they feel foreign to super lux objects. Never mind to use it, just look scared.

    Like Melian, although his parents can afford, if just money is not a problem not a problem for Jamil, but in his home does not have luxury goods like those in his dorm. In his house there is no AC, there is no tower that can release hot water, no cable TV that can broadcast news from abroad directly, in his house there is also no dispenser that can be used to make noodles or hot drinks, his mother would buy a washing machine also does not want, let alone a cooking tool called a microwave. Her mother must be confused to listen to the names of the items if Melian later called her.

    Understandably, Melian lives in Kampung Naga, which is in Juwana, a small sub-district area in Pati City. In his village there are no wealthy people who use such luxury goods. The lux stuff was only heard from TV commercials. Moreover, the culture of the people of Kampung Naga, is still too resigned to the circumstances in his environment. Some are even opposed to change or progress. So the electronic stores in Juwana no one sells such luxury goods. Obviously no one bought it. How to buy luxury goods that are certainly expensive, to eat and meet the needs of life is still lacking.

    Because the items that deserve to be owned by a luxury family is not yet prevalent in his village, then Melian's family also does not have or does not have. Not because you can not buy, but because you can still do the job independently, you do not need to buy it. For example, the microwave, why buy such tools if Juminem can still heat the dishes in the kitchen. And Juminem is not a busy man. He can cook without being chased by time.

    Every night, when the father calls or SMS, must ask Melian's situation. If during the phone call, surely his mother immediately joined nimbrung. Of course want to know the state of his son. Like that night, when Jamil wanted to ask about his son.

    "Hello ..., Nduk .... How are you doing?" juminem asked while talking to his mother over the phone.

    "Well, Mommy ..." Melian replied.

    "Mak-e was curious .... Eat how? How's room? Can you sleep?" ask mother.

    "It must be delicious, Mom .... I ate it already from the catering dormitory .... But if you want to buy or want food from outside, you can buy it yourself .... The food is good .... And don't worry, Mak ..., in the dormitory everything is fully available." Melian replied.

    "Lha keeps ..., how's her sleep?" ask her mother again.

    "Enak, Mother .... The room was AC .... Cold and fresh .... One room two people. I roomed with the Princess, originally from Manado. His father was a wealthy hotelier. It's beautiful and kind, Mommy .... So no need to worry." replied Melian who had started telling her friend.

    "God .... Hotel entrepreneur ...? Rich people, yes ...?" ask her mother again.

    "Yes yes, it is, Mother .... Average friend Melian, son of wealthy businessmen .... Melian became less, Mak ..." said Melian who certainly felt inferior, of course because her parents were only small businesses.

    "Yes .... The important thing is that you have a poor school, so that tomorrow you can be a successful entrepreneur like your friends .... Let it be a rich man .." said his mother who advised his son.

    "Tut .., tut ..., tut .... Tut ..., tut ..., tut ..." phone call jamil.

    "Hello .... Hello ...! Hello ...! Loh .. iki piye, to? This is just the sound of tut ... tut ..., Kang ...?!" said Juminem who had not finished talking even his HP was dead. She handed the HP to her husband.

    "Whoa .... Means the pulse is exhausted, Jum ..." replied Jamil who saw his HP, then checked the contents of the pulse. "Halah ..., the tenants, Jum .... Yes, tomorrow I buy another pulse" Jamil told his wife.

    "That means you can't call anymore?" ask Juminem.

    "Yes .., that means right now, we're told to stop Melian's phone .... He wants to learn .... He said he was told to be diligent to be a smart child .... Yes .., his son let me study first ..." said Jamil who certainly disappointed his wife.

    "Hhmng .... Still miss ...." Juminem instantly deflated at her husband. Sure, Jamil immediately caressed with his affection. And they both hugged each other. Furthermore, they also took off their own kangen, by pouring out the overflow of love.

    Meanwhile, in Jakarta, Melian began to enjoy a different life than in her village. At night he opened the curtains of his room on the tenth floor, Melian with the Princess, a roommate in his dormitory, was very amazed by the beauty of the capital. Yes, the student dormitory in Serpong, which stood twenty floors high, was indeed very majestic and charming. The princess said, like her father's hotel. What was different was the dormitory environment. Jakarta is covered in tall buildings.

    The beauty of Jakarta at night is very interesting to enjoy from a height. Starting from the glitter of protocol roads crossed by vehicle lights. The lights that illuminate the streets produce a very interesting laser stage. The lights that decorate the high-rise buildings, especially the advertising videotron, along with the ranks of garden lights add to the attraction and give the atmosphere of the Shahdunya night atmosphere in the Capital.

    The panorama of this city also looks beautiful when captured with a photo camera. Camera shots that highlight various sides of the Jakarta skyline at night with slow shutter speed techniques. This method of shooting is a low-speed shooting that aims to soften the image, which generally takes more than a second or slower. When shooting at a slow shutter speed, you must use a tripod aid to produce sharp images.

    The daughter, the son of a wealthy hotelier, carries a very sophisticated digital camera. Of course it is very expensive. Then install a tripod near the window, and install the sophisticated camera on the tripod. After that, aim for the beauty of Jakarta night with the camera. And just one press, the Princess has produced ten images recorded in her camera. Then show the portrait to Melian.

    "Look, Mel .... This is the result ..." said the Princess who showed the camera screen to Melian.

    "Russia .... It's beautiful ..." said Melian who was amazed by the pictures shown by the Princess.

    Yes, of course Melian is not just amazed by the pictures shown by his friend, but he was amazed by the camera owned by the Princess. It's a really good camera he's never seen. Even his friends go to school in Pati, nobody has either. Even if you have a tustel camera, it is just a cheap tustel for children, at most pocket cameras, not cameras commonly used by professional photographers.

    Then, the Princess again installed her camera on the tripod. Next, back to photograph the beauty of Jakarta from various directions. And many times the Princess did the photo shoot. No problem, because this camera already uses MMC or Multi Media Card, which is the flash memory used to store data in digital cameras. MMC can store up to one gigabyte of photo data. So the shooting is no longer using a film roller that if you want to know the picture must be printed first.

    Again, Melian was amazed by the camera owned by the Princess.

    "Your camera is really good, Put .." said Melian who was very interested.

    "It was when Papah bought me my seventeenth birthday. Sweet seventeen gift ..." replied the Princess.

    "Ooo .... Papah you must be very affectionate with his son" said Melian who certainly praised his friend's father.

    "Yeah .., expressing affection is all kinds, Mel .... This is because I am happy with photography, then given the gift of a camera .... And here's the extra tele, you know .... Honey, I didn't bring it. Well, we're here to go to college .... Tomorrow on vacation, you play to my place. I took it to Bunaken .... The most beautiful underwater scenery in Indonesia ..." said Putri to Melian, who certainly promoted the area.

    "Yes .... Tomorrow I have to tell Pak-e the same Mak-e first ..." replied the hesitant Melian.

    "okay .... Let's take a look at my shot ..." said the Princess, who then took her camera from a tripod. Then flip the camera over and take the MMC. Next the Princess turned on the laptop. Put the MMC in the laptop.

    "Mel ..., look at our photos tonight .... Good right ...?" said the Princess who showed the pictures on her laptop. One by one, it is displayed on the laptop screen. Well, the view of the beauty of Jakarta at night has been photographed by the Princess.

    "Russia .... Very cool, Princess .... This is absolutely incredible. You're a real professional photographer, Put .... I'm amazed at you .." said Melian who was certainly very astonished. There was even a tickle of Melian's heart, when the Princess showed a picture of a pair of teenagers dating in a city park that was illuminated by the dim lights.

    "Ih, Princess .... How can you aim for a dating child everything ...?!" said Melian who was surprised by the photo, because from the top of the dorm on the tenth floor, with the naked eye it is impossible to see it.

    "Hehe .... It's camera sophistication. If using tele, I can target objects as small as ants with a very long distance" said the Princess who showed off the sophistication of the technology.

    That night, the two of them finally enjoy the beautiful view of the Metropolitan City that really did not sleep all night. And of course while photographing the fantasy corners of Jakarta from his dorm room. Melian also began shooting exercises using a super advanced camera, which of course taught by the Princess.
