Achmad’s Tips on Picking Up Babes in Malls: Part 1.

Not all of you can expect to achieve the nation-wide fame and sex appeal of Achmad overnight. It takes class, effort, and mastery of an elusive art such as hoola-hoop dancing or playing the Ukuele. But with dilligent study of Achmad’s timeworn techniques, most of you gentlemen can quickly become unstoppable sex magnets.
At 5 ft 1 “, 120 pounds, and staring out from big, googly, spectacles (see Avatar), I am no Brad Pitt. Why then, do so many of Indonesia’s most desirable women beg me in desperation to give them private poetry readings and share a little Achmad lovin’ ?
Here are are some of my secrets. Enjoy, my Indonesia Matters friends.
Firstly, pick your hunting ground. For up-market babes, Plaza Senayan has timeless class, but is considered a bit “basi” or past-it, by some. You can try EX at Plaza Indonesia or Plaza Semanggi.
I, however, prefer to get “close to the people,” by hanging around the crowded electronics malls in Glodok, and those bridge-type walk overs. I find they are good places to find naive village girls who don’t know my tricks.
Sometimes, my batik shirt and peci is a novelty at places like Dragonfly or Embassy. But once the girls see my dance-moves, a combination of cha-cha, break-dancing, jaipongan and dangdut, they’re goners.
Why, some of you may ask, is an exemplary Muslim like Achmad cruising for babes ? Because, Friend, in Islam we are allowed four wives. Tragically, three of my wives, Nongoh, Inem, and Wongso, couldn’t cope with the intensity of my love for the ukuele, leaving in the night. Now, I must fill the gap. Before marriage, there is pacaran.
How to Score Babes at Malls in Jakarta and Indonesia.
Before trawling the malls, I carefully comb my moustache, liberally applying Arabian perfume oil. Then I dust off my peci and don my favourite silk batik or Safari suit. (If Safari suit, I wear a pin displaying the Garuda Pancasila).
Sometimes, if Bules are my targets (victims), I compromise and wear some Australian “board” shorts, usually Billabongs and sandal jepit, quaintly known as “thongs” Down Under.
My trademark line is to say, with a sly and casual wink,
“hey there, what’s cookin’, good lookin,”
to the nearest saucy filly. Another classic is,
“hey, your mother must’ve been a thief. It looks like she stole the stars out of the skies and put them in your eyes.”
Try to come up with your own lines, because I’ve used both of those on most of the women in most of the malls in Jakarta.
Mine include winning the Djoget Dangdut 72 jam competition at Ancol, climbing the greasy pole for independence day, and, of course, hoola-hoop dancing and playing the ukuele.
I usually employ a “power-wheel,” slap to the rump and then a bit of a squeeze. (The power-wheel was inspired by the guitar playing of Pete Townsend, lead guitarist of the rock band The Who).
Once you’ve snared the victim, you’ll need a location to read her your poetry, and whatever else you might both cook up. I like to spray some Axe deodorant in the air, and scatter some hip records around the place. Although many of today’s twenty-somethings pretend to like new bands, deep down they’re suckers for golden oldies, like Koes Ploes, God Bless, and Rhoma Irama and Sundanese singer Darso.
And say,
“you’ll come around in the end – they all do.”
She’ll be impressed by your courage and suaveness.
I use a similar technique, with a visual modification.
I stand in the mall and flop out my weapon with a 20 dollar bill wrapped around the end.
always works.
Dear Unjaded,
Most of them are my friends, including (the late) Dono, Kasino, Indro, and in fact, took their personalities from me ! I don’t mind, Friend, I am always ready to help Indonesia.
Fred,
You couldn’t pick up women with a tractor. There are some people who these techniques won’t help.
Your pitiful attempt at sarcasm is quite clearly transparent as stereotypical and provocative racial slur against a native Javanese.
It was one step away from “Ching Chong chinaman wenna milk a cow…” “look my Diocky is slippy” routine.
Pathetic.
Safari suit with a Garuda pin?
Let me guess- typed with the same self-inflated sneer of the Western lower-middle class overweight moral masturbator fuming silently with his envy of ‘lesser” brown people’s wealth.
Most probably an English teacher or multi-national puppet. Renting a house in Podok Indah near JIS?
I’m assuming you’re an Anglo-pilferer (Australian) because of your total lack of any decorum- far cruder than the worst hick Yank could muster.
Liposuction will clear up that atypical fatty upper pubic area- so at least you’ll be able to see you’re knob for the first time since your twenties and it may look full-grown.
An invaliant effort that failed miserably. Ask your screw to loosen your shackles, convict, the blood ‘s pooling away from your brain.
Um, nice try, Purba, sort of. Have we met each other in real life ?
But I recommend seeing my post on insults for some technical tips on winding someone up.
Also, maybe you could help me out.
atypical upper pubic area
Do you mean “gut” ?
You also seem confused about whether or not Achmad is a middle-class Western English teacher or someone renting a house in Pondok Indah near JIS.
Friend, Achmad is a poet, ukuele player, dangdut singer and pencak silat master.
Merdeka !
LOL @ Achmad Sudarsono
You may fool non-Indonesians and other pribumis like Cuk; but you can’t get past a Javanese. Some dumb Bules can’t even thought you are English, but I have been in Oz land long enough to recognise your vocabulary.
Aluang,
As Sun Tzu said, know your enemy. When we invade Australia we’ll need administrators to rule. Maybe, if Purba (what’s a Javanese doing with a Batak name, anyway??), calms down we’ll give him a job as a policeman so he can live out his sexual fantasy of beating up Bules.
Merdeka !
Va Va Voom !
What’s wrong with that Purba wanker? A priyayi on steroids? Overdose of testosteron?
I think under-dose
Maybe, if Purba (what’s a Javanese doing with a Batak name, anyway??), …
If used as a name, he is a Batak; but Purba Negoro is not a name.
All Hail Achmad!
Dude, you’re a stud
Thanks, Tone.
With my tricks, and Picking Up Chicks in Malls II (soon to come), you can be too.
Grrrrr…owl !
Achmad…
How much longer have we gotta wait for the next round of tips?
When is this invasion happening! I will need to organize my affairs and prepare to head back to my homeland and marshall the forces to bundle your arse all the way back to Purbolingo π
By the way I have not seen PN around the traps lately. A flurry of posts and then disappeared…Oh well!
Laire,
They’ve probably got real lives : P !
This is pretty hilarious stuff. Achmad are you a real dude or is this some sort of Borat type thing?
Great article!! lol..
Another tip, the best day to hunt is Friday (nothing’s wrong with the other days though), don’t know why, maybe because they wanted someone for Saturday night π

Hi Achmad,
Love your satirical article, dude. Your alter ego reminds me of the leading actors of the cheesy Indonesian movies in the 70ies.
