My "Favorite"

Here comes the time I share my culinary knowledge. Heheee..
Alright, let's start with this one.

If you're happened to be at Bandung, and you wanna find something to eat other than fastfood or pleasant cafe and restaurant, you should consider this street food. It is called "Favorite" (quite eye-catchy, isn't it?). Don't underestimate the place before you try it, believe me. It's located at the sidewalk of Moh. Yunus, a narrow street at Pajajaran. So if you're at Jalan Pajajaran, and KFC is at your right, go straight and stay on the right until you find a right turn, that's Moh.Yunus. The food stall is at the right sidewalk.

It's specialty is Kangkung Cah hotplate. A must try. With a quite affordable price (about 22k IDR), you'll get a tasty delicous kangkung cah in a quite much portion. I don't think any body could finished it all by himself. I mean, it'd be better if you shared it with your friends, and ordered the other menus. Thus, you'll be able to taste more than one food with the only-one-food price (I'm an accountant, it kinda forces me to think economically ;D) . The other menus, are also tasty and yummy as well, such as, Cap Cay, Chicken, Squids, Shrimps, and others with a special taste of Chinese cuisine of course.

Ow, I forget to tell you, this stall open everyday from 6pm. I don't know when it's closed, though I suggest you to come early. The place is always crowded, and I think you'll running out of food if you come late.

So, have a try!

Say Goodbye to the Cup

Another loss for this country. This afternoon, Indonesia was defeated by China in the final round, with unequivocally score, 3-0 for China. Kinda sad, since I wish to hear Indonesia Raya in the end of the match. I wish to see Indonesia's golden moments in badminton once again.
Well, I watched the whole match. And no matter what, I can easily say that I'm proud of them. They played great, the first double player, Kido/Setiawan, and the second single player, Simon Santoso, especially. Only maybe the luck wasn't there beside them. Maybe the next Thomas Cup? Literally hope so.

Go IN-DO-NE-SIA!!!!

Holiday in the Middle of Week

Few days ago, I decided to spent my one-day-holiday at home. Doing some stuff which I didn't have time to do it before. Cleaning up the room and dyeing my hair. The cleaning session had done, now I need black Henna to dye my hair (for those who don't know, Henna is a kind of natural hair coloring). Why black? I don't think any other color suits me. And fyi, I'd been searching this Henna the day before, though my luck wasn't with me that day. So, I went to local store called "Rama Shinta". It sells beauty products, and you can find beauty salon's equipments in that place. If you want to do salon-at-home, you may find the things you need here. It is located in Jalan Pamoyanan, behind Istana Plaza, just ask anyone, they'll give you direction.

Anyhoo, I've got the Henna, and went straight back home by foot. In front of my house, my eyes suddenly locked on something. There were two persons just across my house, a girl and a boy (wearing a highschool uniform, which kinda odd since it was a national holiday). The two persons, based on their body language, were having an arguments, I think the girl was angry about something. You know, I used to mind my own business. But the view that afternoon, was really making me itchy, I was like so close to pop up in front of them and say, "ekspresinya manaaa???" (hahaha, you know, the ads, no? get a tv!).

Many questions swirled in my head, "do they really have to argue in a public area? with that sinetron-body language? in front of lots of people (there were some workers across the park near my house, who are also staring at them)? I mean, why didn't they find some more quiet place? There weren't yelling at each other (thanks God). Though their sinetron-scene look alike was really making me wondering and laughing at the same time. I shared this with my workmates, and it's funny that one of them once had a same experience. My friend saw a wife run after her husband who's leaving the house. Shouting and crying, at the same time. Again, in a public space, in front of many people.

Freaks me out a bit. Do people now start to think that privacy is no longer essential? Those pictures show me also how people tend to neglect their surroundings. We should mind our business instead of others. That, I know. But we are given eyes to see, ears to hear, and mind to think and to question. Why don't you just keep your personal life in a small circle outside public area? What I'm saying, I don't bother if you have problems, if you want to argue it with somebody, if you have things to be settled. 'Cause I do too. But I keep it to myself and the little circle of my surrounding. I argue with people, but not in public area. I never wish my personal life to be known by some people across the street.

Just got showered!

Friskies always works. I won, Chester.

Weirdo Kitty

Do you think cats could possibly know about something that we're up to? Like, intention to get 'em showered? Well, I honestly think they could. Just happened to me. I was gonna get my cat showered. I was boiling the water first. My cat was just laying on the floor, not doing anything but licking its fur. Then, my sister came and said, "Oh, chester mau dimandiin ya?". Next thing I know, my cat was just avoiding me as I approached him. Running to the roof, and hasn't come back until now. Weird.

Maybe I 've to find some other tricks to fool him.

My Super Silly, Fatty, Spoiled Cat. CHESTER.

Ah! Chester's coming back. Be prepared, baby! ;D

Sleeps With Butterfly - Tori Amos

A friend posted this song's video clip on facebook. And suddenly I just wanna hear and sing this song again. Just to remind me how I love this song. Will you sing with me?

Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

A Little Gift from the Past

I spent my last weekend with my cousins at Jakarta. Only that time was different, I visited the other part of Jakarta. We went to Kota Tua or Old Batavia or Old Jakarta, whatever. It was our first time to get there. So, you can easily imagine, three girls on the trip, without maps, only counted on the green signposts (I believe it was supposed to be way-directions). It was fun, though. After having many doubts whether we were on the right direction of not, we finally made it. And I love that place, really really do. Cafe Batavia, alun-alun, the museums, and all those old-school ambience. Uniquely beautiful. Basically, we’re not typically museum lovers, but to the idea of doing some dorky photo session at the museum, we tended to visit it. And we just found that museum was closed at 3 pm. The time we just got out from Café Batavia. Darn! I guess destiny didn’t allow us to take some silly pictures at the museum.

the beauty of Old Batavia

Yeah, but there’ll be another chance. Have no worry. ;D
