so anyway yesterday i had dinner with this culinary person, BW*. so he has a culinary tv show here. so what he does is goes to different food places and try their food and comments on them. below is a youtube video of him:



before i heard he was coming to town, ive heard of the name before but i was not very familiar. probably because i dont watch much local channels. anyway i thought he was some normal indo person who just love to eat. but no, oh man this guy has been to everywhere. AND i mean EVERYWHERE. he been to all the good places in america, france, australia and many many more. he was telling me all about "RAW" (a healthy rest in the US where all the food are either raw/ cooked but under 80deegreecelc) and how good it surprisingly is, so definitely a must try! oh yah btw, the "RAW" conversation started when i told him one day im gonna open a rest/cafe with a good selection of scrumptious (yes, scrumptious) salads, cos indo is lacking on them and its sad that only angmohs know how to cook and appreciate them! so anyway he also told me about this teppanyaki restaurant which had a 45min max table turnover. all the chefs there are thought to "un-pleasants the mood" when its close to 45min. the owner actually thought the chefs tricks such as, burning the food, dropping cutlery etc etc! how funny!

neway during dinner i asked him about le cordon bleu, and he totally recommend it so yay:) so anyway during dinner, whilst talking about food and such, i didnt fail to forget to ask him how he manage to stay a good size (cos usually foodies are big in size). he told me that he only try the food, he doesnt finish them. also he works from monday to friday (imagine trying all diff kinda foods, esp them being indo, are very very fattening), then on the weekend he detox. no food at all and the 1.5kg he gain, will vanish! can u imagine if he doesnt detox tho? 1.5kg per week, 6kg per month, 48kg per year FHL!

so anyway, today dad and him had a seminar. i didnt see though, woke up late and had relatives over. and anyway, when my parents got back, they were telling me how BW* send his regards to me(yay) and told them how he really enjoyed talking to me at the dinner and how i should pursue cooking (duh) and if i need anything in the future he'll be happy to help:) man i love this guy i wish he's my grandfather. and btw, he's 60 he looks super young for his age dont u reckon?

not a very nice picture (in fact is super bad i literally am obese in the pic, and in real life too actually) but this was the only one w me at the moment.

how i wish the whole food = fat is reversed. the more you eat the skinnier you are! WOAHHHHHHHH
ps. damn funny this morning. while my mom was praying before breakfast i whispered "and God please let all the food i eat now not go into my thighs, arms, tummy and let is disappear" and she started laughing. then after the prayer "HOW YOU KNOW TTS WHAT I PRAYEDD??"

neway few shoutouts:

correction for Y's blog:
TOTALLY CRAVING MARCHE! yummai rosti and my german sausage and the awesome dessert (WRONG)
TOTALLY CRAVING MARCHE WITH MESA! yummai rosti and my german sausage and the awesome dessert + FRAWESOME COMPANY (CORRECTED)
lets do spore after ur bro's wedding :)

vickay: its super hard to get a orange peel skin for gemini :S

sarahann: i dont use it very often:( hard to match with outfit cos i gotta be really really really simple otherwise its too boomboompow ill look like a fruitcake (cos colourful). i wish i can use it more often so that it sags tho. plus my dad reckons its too childish therefore i dont really use it when i go out w him. got any new bags recently? i am still wanting a chanel. everytime i see someone wearing it i really envy them! but im scared its too overrated, what do you think?

and this is for cristal:


sorry gotta post this up, its just FRILLARIOUS (dont worry, not in a bad way, in a frute way:))


goodnight and dont forget to pray (not for your thighs, arms, or tummies.)
just an idea that suddenly randomly pop out: lets all pray for the less fortunate people who cant access to computers/internets. CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOESS?? seriously! itd be like; blog? huh?
would u rather have free clothes OR have free lunches? (in the future)

what a stupid question, friends like u guys (pointing especially at y) will choose the latter

okay so you know how im planning to go uk in 2011, maybe not anymore. i dont know :S few days ago pp gave me an idea of doing something in the culinary world after crtn. he reckons ill like it more, plus the career options is better since rian is already sorta doing the clothing business. cos parents are now interested in the food market (hence, we are in a much thicker physiques except rian the weirdo, if you compared from last years. but that will hopefully change soon for me haha ok stop rambling) , and whos gonna take over and expand?

so maybe it is a good idea. and pp have always said from day one that he'll be much happier if i dont go study in uk cos of the distance. so anyway i found out theres a good school "le cordon bleu" in sydney. its pretty darn good, some of the alumnis includes:
stephanie izzard: top chef 08 winner
julia child: the real julia in julie&julia (whoever dont know/ havent heard/ not planning to watch the movie = youre a loser)

so anyway,i did pros and cons for both (following C's style) and:

london college of fashion fashion business majoring in buying and merchandising:
pros: what ive been really wanting to since year 12, winter/gloomy season all the way woohoo i like, the people, the places duh (the architectures, the sightseeing the store displays), the shops, and cris will be there and bel, basically its LONDON
cons: pp wont be very happy boohoo go cry one corner jokes ill be seeing them less:(, much much much more exp ill drool in front of the stores and not get to buy them, whole new country

sydney's le cordon bleu patisserie chef:
pros: australia, hence im used to the lifestyle, i can see my family more often, i know more people whos already there, can send rr over, cheaper/used to the exchange rate
cons: australia again? (i know confusing, its sorta pro and con at the same time), dreams of taking bachelors degree in fashion business is crushed (cos no way im gonna have three degrees, not funny)

basically both has its pros and cons. i could still go to london to take up their short courses (LCF offers heaps of them so yay) but its just that i wont actually take a bachelors deegree there which is quite sad too. those two are the only schools i prolly wanna go into after crtn. and now im stuck. if u ask me what i wanna do (career wise), im not sure. i would love to open boutiques and stuff but opening a rest/cafe would be my passion too. i enjoy both of them equally. im stuck and i only have a year left to decide urghh

okay i was gonna list the gazillion titles of movies ive watch and comment them but i think this is pretty long already.

oh anyway some pics i dont like posting without pics so plain:

yummy macaroons which ill be able to make perfectly if i choose le cordon bleu





ok done goodnight kiddies dont forget to pray and givethanks to God/Jesus/MotherMary/Allah



ps. things to do when i get back to perth: cny dinner with girlies:), plan/book birthday dinner (yuck im twenty already?) u guys can start brainstorming where u wanna eat, breakky with yul


pee emm ess

im having a tummy cramp urggh why do i have to be born a girl? and tt reminds me of the coffee conversation i had today with a friend. WHY do we have to be born females? a gender who are born to wait and wait and wait for the other while they do whatever they want. i shall stop there cos that can go forever and i wish to sleep soon. okay anyway few things before i go, 

just wanna see if you have any opinions on this..
today someone goes

i: "mess you sell me the slk for 40k then after a semester you buy it again from me cos i want a convertible but my dad wont let me get it"
(is that rude or what? or maybe im just pms-ing.)
m: "err do you have the cash how r u gonna pay it?" 
(the main reason i asked this question was because i need a quick comeback. my anger wasnt actually because like show off you have the money!, no it was mainly because the way he asked was rude)
i: "cold cash"
m: "you guys are seriously one of a kind. so easy with money"

m: "tts retarded why not you just ask whether you can rent it"

okay anyway, is it me? or was he just plain retarded? is it me? his reply for the renting question was that "he didnt want to seem rude, rent seems rude". isnt it even ruder to ask me the former question? its like "EH I BUY YOUR CAR, THEN AFTER I USE IT, YOU BUY IT FROM ME AGAIN". 

then after "capslocking on the bb conversation" he said sorry he didnt mean it that way. he said the reason why he would want me to buy it back was because "i wont feel nice cos youre already giving me cheap price. if after i use it ill sell it again at a more expensive price, thats not very nice" ERRRR IN THE FIRST PLACE WHO SAID IM GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU FOR 40? but even so, dont you think the way he phrased the question was sorta rude? or is it normal and im just taking it the wrong way. seriously honest opinion. cos i absolutely dont know. its been a long time since i shout (or capslocked angrily in bbm in this case) at someone and i just felt weird after. i was so close to talking normally to him after, and even said sorry for shouting bla bla, but no i was like "believe in ur first instinct (understanding), stand up for what you thought at first". but then again, i felt super bad for shouting at him?! 

so please, honest opinions, cos maybe its just my pms. 
 

okay anyway, that was sorta my afternoon. luckily my night was entertained. other than late night coffee and gossip.. 


i came down with this cos i had to take medicine in the kitchen. my mom was carrying a bowl of ice cream for dad and she literally dropped everything (thank God it was plastic bowl)! but poor dad didnt get to have his ice cream, that was the last couple of scoops left. but anyway my moms reaction was really outta this worlddd! 


so this is no 2. is this funny or what? this girl posted a pic of herself, an emo one and wrote that. and look at the comment? that is like SHUT DOWN, SUCK A LEMON roight there!!

okay now im off to bed. goodnight! 
and arent we glad that many haitians are found today:) i believe that most of it come from prayers. so lets pray more ta night!
Wednesday 20 January 2010 @ 11:02 am

at the moment im craving for homemade iced fruit tea, super refreshing . but the kitchen is so far away plus im too lazy to get up. anyway i just finished law abiding citizen and oh my, it is really that goood! so intense so good! 
so, theres nothing much really. these past few days (since i last blogged), work and seminar, went for catch up coffee (lots of it, and lots lots more to come, i know, finally bandung aint that boring after all!), met michy schuang and his fam and finally jkt. left bandung at 1.30, and when i saw the clock again in the hotel room (already all nice and comfy on the bed) it was 3.45 ish. on the way back today, left at 6, reached home at 10! we got stuck in the JAKARTA traffic for about two hours. can u imagine, its almost the same duartion (or even shorter) to get from jkt to bandung, than going thru jakarta streets alone! 



michy in bandung:) dont mind our red faces, we had teppan and the last dish was the ice cream dessert flambe thingo and the fire was liek literally 40cm from our faces! (S, if you can remember, it was the same place we had teppan as well!)


frawesome ricotta berry hotcakes. I FINISHED THE WHOLE THING (except that white thingo on top it was literally butter with crushed peanuts) IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!

funny thang, the security guard just called me (and btw its 3.29am). he is not our normal home security guard, hes replacing the normal one cos hes on leave or smth. so neway, he called to ask if i was alright. cos i was out in the balcony and i guess he heard the bbm sounds and because its his first time here, he was being precautions. 


so anyway for those who are bored, i have three ideas you can try:
1. download playfirst games such as diner dash wedding dash diaper dash, play it free for an hour then if you like it, purchase the license code. its super worth it, only 7us per game and when you buy 3 or smth you get one for free! im on my fifth game now:)

2. get hold of law abiding citizen, a must watch movie.

3. go see justjared go look at heideyymontageyy** plastic surgery. shes like a different person now. and when she laugh, you can totally tell its all botox! and btw, after all that she still wants more implants for her boobs. even spenceryy** thinks she should seek some therapist. i think now even he is saner than her!

tomorrows to do list:
1. do ppmm's PR
2. risol2s menu
3. go play drivingrange (i kept telling my coach ill come everyday but so far its only been once a week. and i havent been gymming either woah fmf (not l for life but f for fats)
4. find a venue for wedding anniv
5. do something about my damn mac (battery doesnt work anymore so i have to have the plug on when i use it.)
6. if 3 is accomplished, i shall have massage and body scrub. ONLY if 3 is done. 

goodnight dearies miss you dont forget to pray before u sleep bye


Sunday 17 January 2010 @ 8:14 am

so this morning i woke up at about 9am, which means i only had 3 hours of sleeeeeep. woke up early cos mom and i had to go to a close family friends' silver wedding anniversary. it was so sweet and i would take a pic during the ceremony BUT thanks to blakkoberryo*'s creator/designer team, they decided to forget not include a "on/off sound" option while picture taking. perhaps i found the whole thing sweet because i havent been to a wedding anniv party for a looooong time, hence the whole time i was tearing up like mad. corny, but seriously,  i was so touched by the couple's power of love.


anyway after the whole ceremony, ive decided that my parents should have celebrate their anniv too. their silver anniv was about 3 months ago, they acknowledge it but did not have like renewing vows or celebration. so i think a surprise silver anniversary wedding should be in the works:) plus its perfect timing when rian gets back from his summer school. its a tough preparation, but hopefully everything will work out well!


im heading off to bed now but before tt i just wanted to share something i read;
if you let the fear inside, if you pull it on like a familiar shirt, then you can say to yourself, "all right, its just fear, i dont have to let it control me. i see it for what it is". 
like loneliness: you let go, let the tears flow, feel it completely- but eventually be able to say "all right that was my moment with loneliness. im not afraid of feeling lonely, but now im going to put that loneliness aside and know that there are other emotions in the world, and im going to experience them as well. detach. detach from your fear."


okay now goodnight kiddoes dont forget to pray before you sleep nightoes



i especially look extremely weird. but other pics were wayyy weirder trust me. oh, and i miss rian already!
lets preserve this moment
Saturday 16 January 2010 @ 1:03 pm

about a couple of hours ago, writing an online diary was the last thing that i want to do. even if i was paid i wouldnt do it. yes i despise it so much that what i did was took out the charging cable off just like that (and the battery was unattached), without actually "shutting the comp down". okay so firstly, the reason i was pissed was because of tumbleer*. cris the other day told me that i should go back to blogging, and i thought the idea was pretty good. i mean, its not like my life here is hectic (which is contradictory cos then i would have nothing much to write about my day but anyway) and also for the fact that its nice to read ur old posts once in a while. so anyway, tumbleer* was just not cooperating with me. i had an account for quite a while, but its just that ive not been keeping up with it. why? cos everytime i tweet it bloody shows on the main page. i want it on the sidebar, not the main content. and i tried to fix them, bloody reading html crap and i just couldnt encrypt them. so anyway, that was only ONE of the thing that pmo. others includes

x stuff that happen because of my stupidity 
x or maybe the fact that i think it all happens because of my "stupidity" when maybe to a normal person, it might not hit themselves as hard as i did
x i can feel my eheem monthly uninvited guest decided to come tomorrow
x i cant log in into froasis* and i need to jot down my timetable
x i kept redoing my right nails over and over again cos they were just super damn frugly
x i couldnt find "tuesdays with morrie", cos i thot reading it would calm me down, think about the good things in life, appreciate them instead of sulking about the unnecessaries
x i wanted to talk to someone but no one was there. i even tried to call steph but couldnt get thru. 

and i just wanna say a big thank you to all the people who actually receive misscalls from me. thank God u didnt pick it up. its about time i get independent, its about time i deal with MY problems instead of ranting them over to you guys, boring you, hurting your ears. THANK YOU.

so anyway when all of that happen, i was thinking to myself, i need an emergency/quick fix therapy. in my head i was thinking;
"ICE CHOCOLATE WITH MILO POWDER OVERFILLING THE BRIM"
"MACADAMIA HAAGEN DAAZ ICE CREAM"
"KOREAN CUP NOODLES"
"MANY MANY CHOCOLATES THAT ARE STILL NEATLY STACKED FROM XMAS"
"CHILLI CHA CHA PRETZ" 
but then again i thought, 
none of them guarantees itself brightening my mood after i eat them, maybe during the process, but afterwards ill regret. and also, if i do eat one of the options, and still not satisfied ill go to the second. and i know if i did, the next morning ill just shout when i see myself in the mirror and theres a big chance that i will stay at home (its weird, i know)"


so anyway instead, i got up the bed and decided to try on outfits. i nvr actually made this publicly (lol, that sounds weird), except when ppl caught me in the act and i just answered "umm, im just trying on my new clothes", but i actually really do. i find that its my quick fix.
seriously right, after an hour or two of trying on different outfits (and i even tried them with heels yai), i am feeling sooo much better. i dont even care about any of the crossed list above. no way ho say stuff like that can piss me off. i didnt need haagen daaz, i didnt need tuesdays with morrie. what i needed was a time for myself, blocking everything out in this world except yourself. that may sound abit "up and selfish" but seriously, once in a while you just gotta do that. 

anyway then after many outfits, i thought to myself i am extremely lucky to be in the position i am. this afternoon on the way to the office alone, an old women begging for money was extremely happy when i opened my window, gave her a smile and a "have a good day" and apologized that i didnt have change on me. i was the second car from the traffic and she literally stayed there, talking to me until the red was back on green. i cant remember what she said exactly but she at least mentioned "God bless you always, and may he guide you safely to your destination" three or four times. and i know that shes not always like this because gazillion of times where i passed this same exact road, but sitting at the back, either talking to my parents or listening to the ipod, shutting the baskers off by waving my hand (the "no no" gestures") when they pass my window. i felt extremely blessed when all that happened i tell you. this is funny and weird but i actually thought to myself "if only i can convince my parents to ask her to be one of the workers at home so at least she has a proper place to live and stable income". but i didnt of course. imagine if i did tho...
anyway im just really blessed. i am extremely grateful for my family and friends. i am blessed, i am really extremely superly duperly fantastically blessed. my feeling of gratefullness and blessed-ness is beyond words. 



and im going to end it with this, 
(and please  just ignore the masker on my nose thanks. or my right fingernails thanks. ) 

the better, the merrier year. 
first post of the year, happy new year!




okay im gonna sleep happily now:)
goodnight kids and dont forget to pray and thank God before you sleep!
