The Mallrats
Welcome to the Mallrats Homepage. The Mallrats are a bunch of neurotic

movies and oh yeah, play Ramonsie Punk rock. Scary ain't it.

As of yet we havn't put anything out, we havn't been
signed, we havn't been playing gigs anywhere near you. All we have
done so far is, fuck around in the studio a lot, record 6 original songs,
eat, sleep and that's about it. I am in the process of mixing the
songs, and I should have some of them up on this site. But till then
this site will be about the band, and how we love our mall, the Pondok
Indah Mall in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The Story of the Mallrats
Uh, so were do I begin. Oh well, back around
5 years ago, someone built the Pondok Indah Mall. This was the greatest
thing. It was near the School, it was big, it was absulutely
fabuous. This was never really done before in Jakarta. It was
the first American type mall to be built here. At the moment they
are expanding the Mall. They are addind Pondok Indah Mall 2
just accross the road. It's going to be a hotel/mall.
When it was first opened we didn't go that much.
We had not yet learned to appreachiate the greatness of the mall.
This was before me and Shel met Alex. When we met Alex in 10th grade
we started going to the mall more often. It became sort of an after
school hang out. In our Senior year we went everytime we had our
last period honor pass, and/or went after school any other day. After
we graduated, it became part of the everyday plan: Wake up,
go to Alex's, go to the mall, go to School, play soccer, go to the mall,
go home,or go party, go sleep. Then in the vacations that we came
back, it was the same. Now it's like a real strange day when we don't
go to the mall at least once.
The Mall
The mall is 3 floors high. The First floor
is moslty Yuppi shops for the rich kiddies. It's got like Channel,
Gucci etc. down there. It also has a Nike store, a Fuji Film, a Hero, A
Times book shop, An A&W, Baskin Robins and a Dunkin Donuts on the first
floor. The Second floor's got the Metro Toy Department, the Computer Store,
the Familia Store, Sizzlers, KFC, Music Store, Hoka Hoka Bento, and Pizza
Hut. The Third floor's got the Movie Theater, Arcade, Wendy's,
Cafe' Regal, Bakmi GM, Toy City, Disc Tara, Yoshinoya and the Comic Store.
Places to go and why
: This is where we
get our daily dose of Coffee. Good things: Cappuchino,
Double Espresso, Cafe' Latte'.
Bakmi GM: Good place to eat.
It's mostly local, noodle type food. One of the places in the
mall where you can get Teh Botol, also it's a great lookout spot, and it's
got a perfect view of Wendy's. Things to get: Bakmi Ayam,
Fruit Punch, Teh Botol, Pangsit Goreng.
Yoshinoya: Japanese Beef, Chicken and
rice place. Quite resonable prices and the good view of the mall
make up for the lack of choice in food. Things to avoid: The
Vegies in the Chicken Bowl.
The Arcade: Hours of enjoyment here.
But be careful, the machines tend to have a life of their own sometimes.
The Movie Theater: It's great place
for finding Chickies for Alex to follow. They are there either with
their friends or their parental units. We also go there to watch
movies.
Disc Tara: Another place to spy on chickies.
You can go in there and pretend you are looking for CDs.
