Halloween, Jamie Oliver Jamie's Italian, and more!

Warning: there will be lots of picture in this post

It's the FINAL EXAM PERIOD or most commonly known as biggest freak out period of the year or getting little to no sleep or too much sleep there is no in between.

And that is my excuse for not posting since almost a month ago, but I'm back in my precious procrastination time so I can dwell in this den and write a wee bit!

So October was Halloween! What did I do for Halloween, you say? Nothing! :)

Why? Because I never celebrated Halloween and I really don't see the significance of it for me...no offence on all the people who celebrate Halloween, though.

I did, however, become a zombie for one day! (I guess, this was my attempt to appreciate a tradition?). The college/hall that I live in now have annual musical and this year I helped for backstage hands. We're doing Reefer Madness musical and there are zombies in the plot so us as backstage hands thought it would be great to be a part of the walking dead troops with fake blood (that is made from chocolate and golden syrup, yum!) and makeup :)

Excuse my camwhoreness but do I look pretty dead yet?

Then, the weekend before exam week, we went to Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Jamie's Italian. The town that I live in is having a soft opening and one of my best friend here works there. She invited us to come down and indulge in what I call, beautiful food. Just appreciate that...

It was pretty amazing indeed. I really like the ambience of the place because it looks formal from the outside, but actually it's really laid-back inside. Also, the portion size is playing mind tricks with people if you're not aware of it. 

Jamie Oliver is pretty famous for his healthy recipes. His restaurant is obviously promoting the same thing. One mind trick they used is the proportion size vs. the plate size. If you have ever dined in Jamie's Italian, you probably know that the plate is humongous. It's not just big, it's huge. However, the lay the food flat so it looks like you're eating a lot because your plate is so big but the portion of the food itself is small to medium. So, you still think you're eating a lot and you're full.

Then a few days before the exams, the APO (Academic Program Officers) in my hall dropped a study-survival kit. Look at that! All 550 students get that pack! It's really cute :3

And one of my best friends also bought us cakes from Dobinsons bakery (best thing in town) and I got a chocolate cheesecake that is just so beautiful and so delicious!

Then, I have my exams two days in a row (and one of them is Saturday! Major bummer). After my exam on Saturday, I bought a bubble tea, chocolate milk tea from Chatime and walk home because the weather was gorgeous. It reminded me a lot of my high school time when I would do the same thing after a long/hard day...

And what better way to end the story with a picture of a park (or a forrest, like seriously it's just full of rows and rows of huge-tall trees) with the sun ready to set in and a red blob of ray of sunshine :)

That's all there is for now guys :) I would love to know what you guys did for Halloween and also what is you favourite guilty pleasure drink, food or dessert? Let me know in the comments below!

Good luck! Have a great week and wish me luck for exams!

Day 1

Day 1 - Seven things that crosses your mind a lot.

Why people do what people do
I like to find that out, what justify people's action, what causes reaction, why some things are okay to do for some people or in some culture and some things aren't.

University
I'm going to one next year, and to be honest I don't know whether I should be excited, happy or nervous and scared, or all at once.

My family
The last time we got together was 3-4 years ago when my uncle got married, and some members couldn't come for important reasons. I would love to get together with everyone sometime soon.

My friends
Some of my best friends are now all over the country and the world and I can't see them everyday. And I miss them so much. It's a good thing I guess that I handle it better now than I was 3 years ago.

Music
I would love to do more of this forever. But I know I'm not oh-so-wonderfully-amazing at this, so yeah..

Memories from school
Especially the ones that I went through at home. I learnt a lot from them, I miss them. Sometimes, I become really mean and wish that I could redo everything all over again because now what I love and cherish are just memories. It wasn't perfect but that made it beautiful. It was special and full of special people and I met the ones I want to be with forever in my life if I have the chance.

Things I should've said or done but I didn't

I just couldn't help it. I do this all the time.

Oh wow, I don't think I'm aware of these until I write it down for the world to see..

17. LIVE CONCERTS!!
18. Being able to meet people who love your favorite bands/artists as much as you do

Ya sudahlah, sampai sini aja dulu ngomel ngga bisa nonton konsernya :)) I'll see you soon di blog yang ketinggalan berhari-hari dari target ini!

Baadiyah! :D

Part 3: Food

"Makan ga makan, ya asal ngumpul" - Ini lirik lagu bukan sih? Lupa gue.

Yak kembali lagi bersama saya disini semoga anda semua masih tertarik untuk membaca tulisan tulisan sarat gambar ini dan melihat-lihat bagaimana kehidupan sehari-hari saya. Sekarang, saya akan menceritakan kepada anda semua cerita liburan saya yang ketiga. Kalau anda bertanya kenapa sudah yang ketiga, mohon buka blog saya dulu karena bagian satu dan dua telah menunggu untuk dibaca :)

Jadi gini nih, baru aja gue sadar kalo ternyata setiap kali gue pulang liburan gue selalu bawa oleh oleh pas balik. Oleh-oleh yang selalu setia mengikuti kemanapun gue pergi ini bernama: LEMAK. Berat badan yang naik, perut yang membuncit dan celana-celana yang ngga muat adalah hal yang udah gue anggap biasa untuk dihadapi di masa-masa kembali ke realita...

Tapi ya emang masakan-masakan Indonesia itu emang enaknya tiada tara duanya! Dari makanan pinggiran kaki lima, warteg sampe ke restoran-restoran semua rasanya itu NENDANG! Jadi di mohon hati-hati pas lagi makan jangan lupa kakinya pada diiket ya. Takutnya nanti tawuran.

Semua makanannya maknyus dan menggoyang lidah tanpa bergoyang dangdut. Biasanya sebelum gue pulang, gue udah bikin mental list makanan apa aja yang harus gue cicip cicip lagi pas gue lagi di rumah. Gado-gado, ketoprak, ketupat sayur, soto, rawon, empal gentong, es campur, es doger, es duren, AYAM PENYET IBU YANI di KEMANG PRATAMA BEKASI (promosi restoran temen), mi ayam, pangsit goreng bakmi GM, bakso, siomay batagor, nasi goreng, oke kayaknya musti udahan sebelum gue nyebutin semua makanan yang gue tau.

Nah, pas liburan gue dan 2 orang sahabat yang udah sering banget disebut disini, Nadine Nadia, memutuskan untuk bertemu bersama bernostalgia mengulang kembali kenangan lama. Jadi pagi kita janjian di Tamara dan ke panti dulu sampe siang. Pas pulang, kita pun diturunin di hero dan kebingungan mau makan apa. Setelah jalan kesana kemari dibawah teriknya matahari dan peluh yang membasahi, akhirnya kita menjatuhkan pilihan untuk makan di Bakmi Awat. Kwetiauw ayam bakso pangsit pun gue lahap dengan sukses.

Setelah itu kita jalan kaki dari hero ke basecamp kita, Ayam Penyet Ibu Yani sembari menurunkan makanan dan membakar kalori dan lemak. Sampe disana kita dengan sangat baiknya disuguhi Es Kelapa Muda dengan sirup warna merah gitu yang endang bambang. Setelah capek ngobrol selama beberapa jam, kita pun iseng mau beli popcorn. Akhirnya balik lagi jalan kaki dari basecamp ke hero dan bertemu kawan lama yang bernama Ferry. Yang dengan kurang kerjaannya *menurut gue sih* naik sepeda dari kuningan sampe bekasi bolak-balik.

Setelah mendekat ke hero, kita pun gajadi beli popcorn karena menurut kita itu kemahalan dan kurang ngenyangin. Akhirnya kita ke depannya hero karena Nadia udah kepanasan dan kepingin makan es podeng. Gue yang masih kenyang es kelapa muda pun memutuskan untuk makan Tahu Gejrot dan minum es teh yang berhasil gue tebas sampe es es-nya sekalian karena kepedesan. Padahal itu yang pedesnya sedang. Nadine, pertamanya sih ga pesen apa-apa. Ngeliat gue makan tahu gejrot begitu, hasratnya pun timbul untuk mesen juga... Emang dasar ni anak kalo makan lauknya pake cabe, dia pesen yang pedes, tapi ga pesen minum. Nadine dengan sukses ngembat es batu gue dan keringetan lebih drpd tadi sehabis jalan kaki.

Setelah ngobrol bentar dan membayar makanan tadi, kita pun jalan lagi. Begitu liat gerobak siomay, emang dasarnya kita semua pecinta makanan (baca: sedikit rakus), langsung berpikir yang engga-engga. Pertama niat kita pesen siomay batagor satu porsi buat bertiga. Tapi akhirnya kita pesen batagor satu porsi bertiga dengan saus kacang yang dibanyakin. Sayang sekali abangnya ga ngasi kita bonus waktu itu. Tapi ngga papa lah. Udah agak kenyang jg kan ceritanya. Setelah berhasil menyantap batagor seporsi bertiga bersama-sama (kesannya mesra banget ya uuuu :3) kita pun bertekad untuk mengakhiri wisata kuliner hari itu.

Kembalilah kita jalan kaki ke basecamp. Tapi entah kenapa, rasanya hauuuus sekali waktu itu. Dengan penjual es duren di sisi kiri dan kanan jalan, gue sama Nadine udah nafsu kepingin beli. Tapi Nadia berhasil meredam hasrat naga perut gue dan Nadine dan membawa kami masuk ke resto lagi. Tiba-tiba sayup sayup dari kejauhan terdengar, "Tenonet tenonet tenotenonet" (nyanyiin pake lagu eskrim Walls) dan kuping kami yang jeli langsung bereaksi. Wisata kuliner hari itu berhasil ditutup dengan, es krim walls.

Abis itu kita tepar. Duduk-duduk doang. Bisa bayangin ga sih sekenyang apa ya itu perut udah ga kerasa deh kaya ilang. Oh dan mohon diingat, gue minum susu ultra 2 kali buat ngilangin pedes (dan emang itu minuman gue dari kelas 8 haha).

KANGEN INDONESIA KANGEN MAKANANNYA.

*mikir plan wisata kuliner liburan selanjutnya :P*

Part 1: Movies

I'M BAAAACK!

Jadi saya baru saja pulang dari indo dan menyelesaikan petulangan sherina (baca: liburan) part 1. Kenapa part 1? Karena saya masih mengharapkan part 2nya. Doakan aku yaa! (gaya benteng takeshi)

Seruuu banget liburan kali ini (liburan yang sebelum2nya juga seru sih :P). Ada lah beberapa hal baru yang gue lakukan yang sebelumnya belum pernah gue lakukan sebelumnya (bingung ngga sih?) Salah saatunya yang akan saya bahas sekarang adalaaaaah..... nonton film Indonesia di bioskop (backsound: jengjengjengjeng)

Oke bukannya gimana tapi emang gue noraknya ngga ketulungan. Pertama kali nonton film di bioskop adalah waktu gue umur.... gatau udah lupa. Tapi yang gue inget, film pertama yang gue tonton adalah PETUALANGAN SHERINA.

Film itu booming banget waktu baru keluar. Film anak-anak keluarnya pas liburan, tepat waktu banget kan itu promotornya? Emang hebat dah. Dulu karena gue masih kecil, yang beli tiket kan nyokap ama tetangga. Ngantri ampe beberapa hari tuh ga dapet dapet rame terus. Maklum tinggal di Bekasi, jaman dulu bioskop cuman 21 di MM doang. Bandingin ama sekarang udah jauuuuh banget. Radius ga sampe 1 km udah ada XXI di MM, Giant plus Bekasi Square. Trus ada lagi Blitzmegaplex di BCP (yang gue masih ga percaya kalo ini bioskop beneran eksis di Bekasi). Itu aja udah ada 4!! Belom lagi di Grand Mall dan mall2 laen yg gue gatau...

Oke kembali lagi ke cerita, ngantri tiketnya yang lamaaaaaa banget itu membuahkan anak, eh salah, hasil juga. Akhirnya kita dapet tiket untuk nonton jam *lupa pastinya tapi kira2* SETENGAH 8 MALAM.

Masalahnya dulu gue waktu kecil bukanlah manusia separo kalong kaya sekarang. Dulu jam 8 udah ngantuk banget dan jam 9 bisa udah ga sadarkan diri. Setengah 8 gue udah ngantuuk tuh. Tapi demi nonton penyanyi kesukaan gue ini, akhirnya bela2in dah tuh pergi nonton. Puji Tuhan, gue berhasil nonton filmnya sampe selesai dan pulang dengan selamat. (Gue inget banget pas filmnya udah selesai, mallnya udah mau tutup)

Karna gue norak baru nonton bioskop satu kali, ya gue cerita2 gitu lah ke semua orang. Berhubung Petualangan Sherina juga sangat booming, gue dengan sukses memborong VCDnya (yang masih ada sampe sekarang) dan kaset soundtreknya (yang udah ilang :'( ). Kaset sountrek ini gue puter berulang2, gue afal semua lagunya dan karena sering gue play forward (ga sabar nunggu bagian kosongnya untuk habis), kaset itu berhasil memakan korban, tape saya rusak.

Daaan ini yang paling freak dr semuanya. Saudara kembar (tetangga ++ = keluarga :D) gue, pamela yang rumahnya cuman berjarak 2 rumah dr gue, juga suka banget sama film ini. Waktu kecil kita main bareng tuh hampir setiap hari dan setiap saat. Dan jaman2 ni film booming, mainan kita sukses cuman 1: main drama Petualangan Sherina. Dari judulnya, harusnya lo tau kan kita ngapain? (Engga, kita ga ke Lembang trus nyusruk2 di hutan. Lo salah.)

Itulah efek dari film Indonesia yang gue tonton di bioskop kepada diri saya. Dan kembali ke topik awal, kemaren waktu liburan gue nonton Hati Merdeka yang dibintangi oleh Om Darius Sinathrya (yang sangatlah ganteng), Lukman Sardi, Donny Alamsyah (yang juga ganteng) dan Om Nugie. Film ini merupakan film trilogi yang terdiri dari Merah Putih, Darah Garuda, dan Hati Merdeka ini.

Filmnya DEWA BAGUS BANGET (terimakasih untuk yang mengajak gue nonton :D). Menurut gue ini film udah kaya beneran. Inti ceritanya adalah perang yang dihadapi oleh tentara revolusi Indonesia waktu mereka diambil alih LAGI oleh Belanda. Yang ini berlatar belakang di Jogja dan Bali. Filmnya bagus banget, perangnya kaya beneran, suasananya dapet banget, pokoknya TOTAL SALUTE buat yang bikin. Semuanya bener2 super well done. Terutama luka2 di korban dan prajurit yang sukses bikin gue tutup mata. Kalau mau cekidot lebih lanjut silakan ke situs resmi mereka dengan klik disini :D

Niat gue adalah untuk nonton 2 film sebelumnya, tp belum tau kapan dan gimana :) You guys should watch this if you think Indo movies suck, THINK AGAIN.

*btw hari ini tepat 2 tahun gue disini. Thank God I survive :) thank you guys as well for the support! lots of love :)*

#OnlyMarsudirini that will always be in our heart

WAHEYYY!! LOOK AT THE PICTURE PEOPLE!! :D i know i'm so excited!

so, first of all if you read my blog often, I talk about Marsud a lot of times. Well, Marsud or Marsudirini for the full name is where I went to school since I was in kindergarten until one and a half year ago when I was in grade 9 junior high.

I don't know who started this but someone starts the trend by posting tweets about my school with special hash tag #onlymarsudirini. My friends in grade 11 high school is having a very big paper project that will due in a short time and they are all stressed about it. I think those people started the hash tag #onlymarsudirini. Someone even made an twitter official account for this! Follow @OnlyMarsudirini (student official) or the other one @marsudirinians :D

We recalled all the memories, everyone started to tweet with the same hash tag. We retweet almost everything with the #onlymarsudirini in their 140 characters. We don't care whether we know each other or not. Whether we ar alumni or students. Whether we only went there for a short period of time. All of us, Marsudirinians, come together and linking up memories until we finally reach the number 3 trending topic in Indonesia!!!

This is one of the reason why I love Marsudirini Bekasi with all the memories, friends and everything :'3

I WISH YOU A (VERY LATE) MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

So, today is 10.01.11 and tomorrow is gonna be 11.01.11 *unimportant random fact*

I just got back from my greaat vacay :D well, i don't really have that much time to see all my friends. My holiday was somewhat undercover-ish. However, I had a great time with my family..

I spent my Christmas night here and on 25 went to Indonesia. and I spent whole lot time with my fams. Then, me and Nadia went to Menteng for a day then met Nadine and spent the whole afternoon at the mall. Oh by the way, mie Gondangdia was sooooo good omg!


On the last weekend, I went to Wisnu's house after a hundred years time. Hahaha. By hundred I mean five. Hahaha. Then, me, Lucy, Cristo, and Kresna went to XXI and watched Little Fockers! I had a good time :) too bad Marina weren't there :(


THE MOVIE WAS SO FUNNY! But this is no good for children even though it has the word 'LITTLE' in the title. HAHAHA.

I'm thinking of going back on the CNY, if i have the reason to go back...

oh and btw,

HAPPY (super) BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MARINA MARGARETHA, LUCY NOVIANTI AND KRESNA UTAMA!!!!!

ALL THE VERY BEST, HOPE YOU GUYS HAD FUN AND HAPPY SWEET 17TH YOU BROTHER AND SISTERS!

THE KARATE KID

*Jadeen!! and Mr. Jackie!!*

Comedy, action, friendship, love, family. All the values in life we can learn :)


KNIGHT AND DAY
*Tom Cruise is a great actor!*

Full of action that Tom Cruise played without using any stuntman at all. Combined with all the comedy and love :)


PREDATORS
*OMG I LOVE YOU ADRIEN BRODY!!!*

Protection, Trust, Courage, Sacrifices, Instinct. Full of action and great effect. And this film is scary for me.


ECLIPSE
*Team Emmett since the 1st movie! Kellan Lutz :D*

Just another vampire battle, triangle love, lots of kissing, hugging. Kristen, Rob and Tay still mumbling when they say the dialogues. Haha. But this movie is good.


DESPICABLE ME
*Agnes I wanna kidnap you, cutie pie!!*

This is a great movie of Comedy, Family Love, Ambition, Priority, and everything. You can learn so much about life, about happiness and sadness.

ILOVEYOUINDONESIA!!

Urgh twitter is now over capacity. So great, I just logged in like 10 minutes ago. I didn't even do anything with it. Well, whateveeerrr :P

Okay, so I just had a great great night with Nivi, Tale, Ellie, Thas and Khadija :) We had dinner at TCC by the Singapore River took bunch of pictures and had a great time :D I think this is the last dinner we'll had with Tale, since she'll be moving back to Norway next month :( serious dislike.


And now I'm soo tired. I had a great time and happy :) so kbye!

We All Need Somebody

Tadi waktu gue pulang les gue ngeliat ada anak-anak SMP gitu deh. Di deket stasiun MRT yang deket rumah gue kan ada sekolah katolik gitu. Tapi sayangnya itu all boys school jadi gue ga boleh masuk :( Nah mereka tuh rame rame begitu. Berkelompok kelompok. Tadi sih gue liat ada 4. Mereka megang bendera trus ada selendangnya masing2 gitu per kelompok. Mereka bawa map terus kayaknya mereka ditugasin buat pergi ke salah satu tempat gitu deh. Keliatan seru gitu aaaaaaaa. Tiba-tiba gue jadi inget waktu gue masih SD...

Dulu di sekolah gue ada retret. Sesuatu yang ga bakalan pernah ada di sekolah gue yang sekarang. Waktu retret, keliatan banget kita semua berbaur. Yang musuhan, yang sebel2an, yang pacaran, sahabat, abis putus, semua bener2 ngebaur buat retret. Dulu, tradisinya waktu retret ada jurit malem. Jadi gini, di salah satu hari, paginya kita dibawa outdoor semacam jalan2 ke hutan gitu. Nanti malemnya, kita sendiri bakalan ngelewatin jalan yang tadi kita lewatin itu. Tengah malem pake obor sama peta, per kelompok. Trus kita musti lewatin bangunan2 serem gitu deh. Plus di gangguin kakak2 pembinanya yang bikin makin serem aja.

Buat gue itu semua bener2 berarti. Dari kerja sama kelompok, nenangin satu sama lain, bareng ngelewatin sesuatu yang kita smua belom pernah lewatin. Itu berharga banget menurut gue. Kita takut bareng dari awal jalan, abis itu pas udah selesai kita juga seneng2 bareng, ngerasa lega bareng. Rasanya enaak banget :D

Trus waktu itu juga pernah ada acara gereja di sekolah. Pas abis maghrib gitu kan udah gelap. lampu sekolah semua dimatiin. Per kelompok, tanpa kakak pembina, cuman pake lilin satu senter satu, kita jalan ngelilingin sekolah. Kalo hari2 biasa, sekolah kan terang banget, tapi ini semuanya jadi beda. Udah sekolah disitu 6 tahun, pasti tau lah semuanya tentang gedung itu. Tapi ini rasanya lain. Di takut2in juga sih. Tapi tetep aja lain. Kita kaya saling ngebagi perasaan, ngejaga satu sama lain. Menurut gue, semua itu penting banget. Dan menurut gue juga, itu cara paling ampuh buat ngelatih itu (atau kira2 begitu)

Gue jadi mikir lagi, balik ke anak2 sekolahan yang ketemu gue di stasiun. Kita di set di cerita yang sama kan? Tanpa arah cuman ada peta. Tanpa pembimbing. Tapi entah kenapa buat gue, yang gue lewatin itu lebih seru. Karna satu, waktu gue jurit kita jalan kaki dan mereka bisa naik kereta atau bis ke tempat yang dituju. waktu gue jurit sama juga sih sama mereka, malem. Tapi gue cuman pake obor atau lilin. Mereka punya penerangan yang bagus lah, kan mereka bisa masuk2 stasiun, tinggal di kota yang udah canggih, dsb. Jadi entah kenapa menurut gue, yang mereka laluin itu seru. Tapi tetep aja seruan gue. Hahaha. Gue jadi inget lagi gimana rasanya musti percaya sama temen sekelompok lo yang bahkan lo jarang ngomong. Gimana rasanya musti nyiptain ikatan sm temen sekelompok lo kalo lo abis berantem sama dia.

Dan sekali lagi gue sadar betapa berharganya temen-temen gue.

:)

SPECIAL

HAPPY SUPER BELATED SWEET SIXTEEN BIRTHDAY MY LOVELY BEAUTIFUL SOUL MATE NATASHYA NADINE 11 MARCH (LATE)

I love you till the end of time and you know that :)

Sejarah singkat antara gue dan nadine...

I met you when we were 4 years old. And we became friends. We were in the same class at kindergarten and grade 1. Then, we never go to the same class again until grade 6. And when we were in G6, we had a fight. A BIG fight. But then, we can solve everything and become even more closer. We never go to the same class when we were in Junior High. But you know I will still love you.

You mean a lot to me. You are my best friend, my sister, my soul mate. I can tell you anything I like and you know me best. You can also tell me anything you want. You will hear me, when I'm happy or sad. You will text me when I'm sad. You go everywhere with me after school. You will call me when you got something to say or tell or talk about. You will hug me every first day of school after the holiday and scream my name down the corridor. You will make me feel better when I'm down.

I know we are far. But you know that our friendship will never broken. I know we failed to be in the same school for 14 years (Kindergarten to High School) but we will always be best friends no matter what.

I've been your friends for 12 years and I don't want this to changed, stop, whatsoever. I still wanna be your best friend that you can turn to in every condition :) even though we are far, i know you're there.

My pray is always be with you and you know that I will wish you all the best in your life for everything! I don't have to say everything one by one :)

Hahaha. I LOVE YOU!

PS: Why I said this is special? Because I wrote this in a flash while remembering every moment that popped up in my head with her. And my eyes are wet somehow. Tehee :3 I LOVE YOU NATASHYA NADINE!

I remember you wrote this and I still have the paper ♥♥

Special for Cristo: Get well very very soon. I know no basketball for two weeks is no fun at all. Haha. Anyway, get well very soon and I'm really sorry that I couldn't be there. You made me so worried with your message. Haha.
