holy city.

Hello fellas, it's been a while since I came home that I lost track of time. It's very very boring here, all I do is watching dvds (got a stack from Jakarta - phew).

I guess I've learned this so far: Kudus is a small, smaaall town. Having yummy opor ayam, soto ayam, nasi pindang, n lentog is not enough to make up what it's lacking of. Geez.

Last week, out of boredom, I searched through the cabinets in my dining room- guess what I found! A measuring scale, few spatulas, cake knife, and a mixer. A stand mixer! However I found out quickly too, that the metal whisks are missing. So I gave up the thought of baking anything :p The next day, out of boredom again, I searched the drawers that I haven't checked and I found the whisks! Should I bake - was the question. As the oven is not working and I was not sure whether or not I could use the microwave oven, I asked my sist. As disappointing as it was, the microwave oven uses lotsa energy that my house's electricity went down after my sist warmed water in it. Oh wow. I miss my apartment in Melbourne.

My IDs - national and driving license will be expired on this August so I went around these days to renew everything. I went to renew my driving license the other day, my driver took care of everything so all I had to do there was to come and take photo. Same happened today with my national id. Hey I hate the new driving license, it's ugleh. I hope the national id will look better. My dad gave that old guy extra Rp 10K and asked him to finish it by today. But I haven't received it yet, hmm. Scary huh, everything can be done here in Indo with money.

What else, hmm. Ah yea when I was not around, my dad called the vet to groom Eagle! He told me that someone will come and pick Eagle up and bring him home later. Cool. All for Rp 35K. So yesterday I arranged Eagle to be groomed again. Someone picked him up early (when I went out at around 9 the cage was already empty :/), but hasn't returned him until around 4.30 so I asked. A while later Eagle got home, and running around wildly. Hmm I guess he misses home too. He's so cute when he's all groomed :3

icky and sweaty, but I'm home!

Why am I all sticky even tho I stayed inside aircon-ed room all day long???

And I am not exactly home. Yet. Still stuck in Jakarta, the city where Dewa Macet lurks...Well I arrived last wed and going back this wed, going back to my lovely holy city. Gosh I miss lentog tanjung!! Raawr~

Anyway anyhooo! The boy left today for Macau! Grr so jealous :p Awas kalo ga bawa oleh-oleh yah! Hehe. I'm kinda bored here already. Kerjaannya cuma makan n nonton dvd doang. Paling ke mall bentar. Which I don't really look forward to do... meh.

What should I do to kill time this hoool??? It could be my last one before I'm starting work oh noo D:

Today is the day!

Hi fellas,

Been a while since I last posted something here, but hey! Today is supposedly my big day, the day when childhood ends and real world strike you on your face real bad! :) Or so I am exaggerating...lol. Anyway, yeah I'm graduating today. Excited, you ask? Errm well...Maybe. I should be right? Since this is gonna be my first time wearing the black graduation gown (oh boy it's heavy) and mortar board, while Melbourne is burning (39C today!!) like there is no tomorrow.

Graduation ceremony will be at 7.30 pm, but I'll have to be there by 6 pm to register and stuff, and take photos for sure :) Oh and have I mentioned that RMIT's graduation is in Etihad Statium? Yeah, that stadium used to be called Telstra Dome (frankly speaking I like the old name better), and it is massive! I wonder how are we gonna be seated later...heh.

This week is actually a 'graduating week', or so I like to call it. Yesterday was Anthony and Hilda's. And Ko Robert too, which I didn't attend...Today's mine and Tina's. Tomorrow: Herman, Tiff, and Byron! How exciting! :D We're all officially off uni! Hoohoo!

On the other side tho, it's a bit sad to see people leaving Melbourne. Sad to say gbye after all this time we spent, sad to face the fact that they won't be here next year. But my best wishes be with them, sure we will meet again :3

On a random note, I've been studying for...approx 17 years!? Gosh how did time flies xD

It's awesome how we grow in the past years. I feel that this city brings so much changes in my life. I believe I'm a bigger girl now *mentally speakin' awwite*. I believe every challenges worth facing. I know I'm not alone!

If any of you reads this, I just wanna thank all my friends here in Melbourne for your love and support, you're like a family to me, a second home in my heart! :) Thank God for placing me here, thank God for letting me meet you all. One day, one day I know we'll have to say goodbye. But we know too, it will be just for a while...For the time being, let's have more fun, peeps! :D

Tubby-brownie

Hey ho!

If any of you wonder what I've been doing lately, I have to say it's still a mystery.
Honestly, I can't really remember what I've been doing :p
Things go like they always do: uni, work, oikos, and church.
Small things in between includes dinner out, lunch out, or baking.

I baked what's supposed to be strawberry turnover, but it ended up soggy since I could't seal the edges perfectly. Should give it a try again next time, but now I had enough soggy pastry lol.
O well, if you haven't failed you haven't tried eh? Speaking of baking, however, I baked a brownie tart last weel, which turned out awesomely. Not perfect, but I love the texture. Yum. Somehow it tastes a bit salty tho. I'm really sure I used unsalted butter and correct amount of salt…Humm maybe I should just reduce the salt next time!


a snapshot of the brownie, decorated for picture purpose only :p

Geez my blog's been boring for the past I-don't-know-how-long :( And I don't feel like writing anything interesting…Hahaha...
I just don't have anything to write about. Life's been good…I'm waiting for my holiday to come, so sick of coming to classes and doing my assignments. Just gimme a break already.

Oh one random thing! I've realised it for quite a while now, but then I never write it anywhere to remember it. Not that important, but interesting for me:
I learn and do bits of everything. By that I mean: photography; design; singing; basketball; baking; video editing; nail care *if that counts*; japanese; felt doll-making… and some more random stuff that I might missed. Well it's good in a way, but at the same time a bit ironical..hhahahhaah… I like stuff too easily. I see it, I want to do it, then I do it, then I stop most things and continue few things :p Hehe. I hope I keep learning how to bake tho, since I've already invested on some tools..gee.

Anyway, now I remember 2 interesting sightings that I wanna share!
1. When I was walking home, I saw an orange girl.
And that's so funnily lame. I mean, come on! She's orange! ORAAANGE!!! You know fake tan is just too much, but this…is just overwhelming. Reminds me of Bride Wars, yay.

2. I saw teletubbies today.
Errr, there were 2 Asians handing pamphlets in front of Melbourne Central, wearing what I see as cheap-made tubbies costume. I saw the purple one first *tinky winky?*. The head mask didn't cover his face, so I can clearly see his grumpy face. Dude, can't you at least smile? Who would take the pamphlets from a frowning fat purple alien? I hate teletubbies, let alone the pissed of ones. Walking down Swanston, I saw the second tubby, this time the red one or Po if I remember correctly…Inside it was a girl, thank God she at least smiled. She didn't put on the head mask tho. I can see no point she's wearing that oversized alien costume. Hmm. Marketing just got worse..haha…

And that's all I can remember for now! :)
Stay tuned
