the old style

Few weeks ago I went to a well-known shopping mall in Depok [haha] and found this old style cafe named Sagoo Kitchen [well I forget the real name hehe hope the one I mentioned was right] with the old style foods and beverages, details, space experience, decorations and other old styles. Last stunning week, I went to Plaza Semanggi [which is much more like ITC alias pasar nowadays] and found more than one cafes or restaurants selling their old styles.

Now this made me wonder, what happened with the old styles? Are we tired of modernity? Minimalis modern hahahaha makan tu..

Well some might just want to push themselves back to the previous era at least by imitating it, kinda simulating it-- oh here it comes the simulacrum! Yeahhh! The youth might not feel the old era since we weren't there, we're not born yet. So the old style is just for fun. Some like it and some others might not. It's like bringing back the joy of colonialism, they said. Then some will say, it depends. Not all the old styles refer to colonialism. How about the simulation of the old kampong life? And the debate will still continue, I believe. Whether you like it or not, the fact is: old style sells. Haha.
