2 Comments

Day 1 & 2: Arrived in Jakarta

Bought Beard Papa’s. My favorite is eclair puff with vanilla filling 😋

Obviously it becomes one of my comfort foods!

Trees and tall buildings…

Day 3: Arrived at Home

Colorful plants by my mom. I hope I could grow some lettuce or kale by myself this year haha

Chizprek.co , please open in Bandung! 😋

Soto Seger Boyolali for breakfast, near home.

Quality time with lil bro. Sorry for the blurry picture :p

My mom, lil bro, and I made baked mac n cheese.

The Sims 4: Yeay!!!

Being introvert is easy. LOL.

Day 4: New Year’s Day

Family dining out. Alhamdulillah all of us could gather on that day. Also alhamdulillah for Sate Maranggi H. Yetti Cibungur being open on new year’s day. FYI, they are only closed in Idul Fitri day and open since 8 a.m. (info from their whatsapp business, you can get the number from their instagram here : https://www.instagram.com/satemaranggihajiyettycibungur  )

Besides the satay, I would like to recommend their fritters (a.k.a gorengan). I think you should order each of the fritters because they are so tasty especially with their chili sauce!

The fritters and sauce deserve a picture 😋

This short holiday is full of tasty meals. Alhamdulillah 

Taylor Swift Reputation Tour

Another highlight from this holiday is Taylor Swift’s Reputation Tour in Netflix !! 

“Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere” – New Year’s Day by Taylor Swift

See you on the next post!

The Double Decker Bus

How we went to Madiun: double-decker bus!

It’s indeed an interesting experience! The bus was comfy. I could sleep well haha. The cost for one person is Rp325.000 if I’m not mistaken. And the most important thing was I could charge my phone in bus haha #noworryforbattery

I traveled from Bekasi around 3 p.m. and arrived in Magetan (my grandpa’s village) at 6 a.m. the day after.

The height compared to the Mixer car…

See you on the next post! 😆

Weekend: Birthday, Crazy Rich Asians, Great Foods

No Comments

We had a dinner at Tamani Cafe to celebrate my mother’s birthday.

No, it’s not my birthday.

The crown supposedly for mom. I voluntered to wear it because this remind me to an entertaining novel I read: Crazy Rich Asians. See pic below. Handsome, right? #eh Haha!

(Image from: https://teaser-trailer.com/crazy-rich-asians-movie/)

Btw, the full trailer comes tomorrow. Can’t wait for the movie!

Other highlight for this weekend is my favorite snacks finally available in go-food! It’s siomay and lumpia from Bubur Ayam Jakarta, Kemang Pratama Bekasi.

Another highlight is I tried baby shampoo and baby bath soap because my skin is very dry these days. For my skin, I haven’t feel significant improvement (still gonna use it to see more improvement). For the hair, I can see a result. The baby shampoo does make my hair shinier though not as soft as conditioner does to mine. Btw, I wonder if it’s ok to use conditioner after baby shampoo? Because from what i know, conditioner can remove shampoo residue.

Personally, I believe that this baby soap and shampoo are good for my skin because it has less soap than adult soap. Because I already prove that with my face wash. My skin feels better when I used soapless facial wash (mine is from sensatia botanica, the unscented one). The face wash does not dry out my skin!

Weekend: Fruit & Veg

No Comments

Productive weekend so far.. I went to traditional market with mom to buy some fruits & vegs. So happy because in this tradional market near my house they have many fruits & vegs that I like such as cherry tomato (IDR 20k/kg), lemonades (IDR 10k each), oranges to make orange juice (a.k.a jeruk peras hahaha IDR 14-17k/kg). I wonder why I cannot found them in Simpang Traditional Market in Bandung 😔

These months also the season for grapes and strawberries I think. Because they are very cheap!!! Grapes only IDR 40k/kg. Both are my favorite fruits 😋😋😋
Whoaa me talking about fruits & vegs price and traditional market! One year before these topics were almost never cross my mind. Such a change haha 
Other productive activities that I did today:

  1. Learned new recipe from my cousin who cooked at my house today
  2. Did accounting for my money
  3. Made this blog post

Things I am expecting today:

  1. Tonight’s episode of Age of Youth 2 (or Hello, My Twenties 2)
  2. Go to swimming pool in the afternoon maybe, if I’m not sleepy. Just a day when the family is gathered and there’re so many food and I feel so full right now

The food that my cousin made feat. orange juice.

The Moment I Use Mi Remote

No Comments

Hi guys, my family and I have safely arrived at my grandpa’s home. We (my cousins, nephew, brother) gathered at living room and watched TV. I didn’t really like the show so i asked my brother who turned on the tv where’s the remote. He said “there’s no remote, use the buttons”

haha so lazy 🙈

Then i remembered there’s this remote app in my phone . I tried and it’s worked! The little cousin & nephew of course were amazed with this thing wkwkwk 😁 No more “where’s the TV remote” #problem #iamsocoolforthem

“Rumah Mbah” = Grandparent’s house.
Thank you Mi Remote for help me who’s too lazy to push the TV buttons 😝

Thank you technology for making life easier hahaha (might not using this app if i weren’t lazy LOL)
Another random post i know, thank you for reading 😝😳

Monday Delicate Eating: Siomay at Kemang Pratama

No Comments

Siomay at “Bubur Ayam Jakarta” Kemang Pratama, Bekasi.

This morning, my mom, my brother, and I ate breakfast in Kemang Pratama. Each of us ordered breakfast menu (like porridge, soto, uduk rice) and side dishes: Siomay and Lumpia. The siomay here is one of my favorites. It tastes good and not so pricey for that quality (IDR 20.000 for 4 pieces). So happy 😋 Somehow I wish that I could eat this tasty side dish once in a week 😋😋😋

Tasty & Happy, Alhamdulillah~ 😋👌
