Cooking

Cooking is my passion.

First started to cook just when I was about 10 or 11 years old. Definitely when I was still at elementary school. And, deeply in love with cooking ever since. First cooking was Fettuccini white sauce with smoked beef. And first cookie was Katetong, or easily known as Lidah Kucing. I had so much fun in cooking. Especially when those who tried my cooking said it was very good and delicious.

Cooking is so much fun for me. A stress release. A mood lifter.

Cooking thing runs in the family. Eyang and Mom was a very good cook. I learn much from them. They made cooking looks very easy and simple, then I proof it right!

With much spare time I got, I became more and more addicted to cooking. I browse new recipes. Then trying it out, modified it, and serve it to the family. Thankfully both my mother and father fully support me.

And I got happier each time I finished cooking! Yay!

Happy cooking everyone! I'll post my recipes soon.

Manusia

Manusia. Aku, kamu, kita, sama-sama manusia. Sulit menjadi manusia. Karena manusia penuh keegoisan. Terkadang yang dipikirkan dan diutamakan hanya keinginan, kebahagiaan, dan kepuasan diri sendiri.

Manusia kerap lupa betapa kompleks hidupnya. Betapa dia bergantung pada manusia lainnya. Berinteraksi. Bertahan hidup. Memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya.

Ada manusia. Dia senang, hidupnya menjadi melegakan ketika manusia lain begitu sabar. Begitu toleran. Begitu pengertian. Begitu perhatian.

Terbuailah dirinya. Dia pun lupa. Lupa bahwa manusia lain punya perasaan yang sama sepertinya. Yang harus dijaga baik-baik. Sebagaimana manusia lain selalu menjada miliknya. Terlupakanlah olehnya cara untuk melakukannya.

Tanpa sadar, si manusia sudah melukai manusia lain.

Kata si manusia lain,
Cobalah mengerti dan berhenti ingin terus dimengerti.
Cobalah berhenti berbicara, dan mulai mendengar.
Cobalah menyimak, bukan sekedar mengucap kata iya.
Cobalah melihat, bukannya ingin terus diperhatikan.
Cobalah lebih memahami.

Jadi manusia sulit bukan? Ternyata banyak yang perlu dilakukan.
Tapi jangan takut jadi manusia. Manusia punya akal. Manusia punya kemampuan dan keinginan. Gunakan untuk belajar. Belajar yang manusia lain katakan. Belajar selagi kesempatannya ada.

A Loving Family

With one thing in common, a bunch of people we've never really known before became a very close in heart friends.

In 3 days, we've shared a lot of things, and sees much.
The stories we tell each other, the jokes that makes us laugh, the journey we traveled, the leasons we learned, and most of, all the moments we shared together.
In 3 days, we simply became a new family.

Maybe we're seperated in distance, and by time. But I believe, we're never seperated in heart.
I love you all, buddies!! And longing to dive again with all of you real soon! Miss you!! ;)

zéro

I woke up this morning with high expectation. And all I found is disappointment.

I checked the phone over and over, but no messages, no missed calls. So I went online and checked everything. E-mail, YM, even FB and Twitter. Still I found nothing. Nada, Zero, Null.. *Sigh..

Sometimes I get tired of waiting, when the waiting results nothing. It makes me think twice even more. Was it worth waited? Was it worth the effort I put in? Was it worth every single second of my patience? Oh, I cannot even answer my very own question.

I don’t know whether this is stupid, dumb, or whatever. I still wait. Though I got tired, I still came back to the same spot and waited. I’m waiting the zero turns into numbers. Into answers. Into something surprising. Into something special.

And while I’m waiting. I shed a tear.

birthdays

Boyfriend's birthday is coming up in several days. Been so excited for the last 2 weeks.

I'm so into birthdays. Birthday greetings, presents, surprises, the pranks. Everything!

Why do I love everything about birthday? In my very own opinion, through birthday we sometimes could see how much people cares.
The way they pray for us, the time they spend to find the perfect gift, the arrangement of the surprise, the effort to make the birthday boy/girl sooo happy on their day.
If you don't care much to the person, why spending time and money to all those? You know the answer.
Yes, exactly. You care a lot about them. It's why you're willing to do all that.
And the simplest of all, remembering the date of birthday itself shows you care.

I like picking presents. Though I'm not that good. Choosing the right one, the very perfect one is never easy.
Is this the one s/he likes? Is this what s/he needs? Will s/he love the one I choose. Thinking about it drives me crazy. Though I still want to do it. Because I want them to be happy the second the open the present. And then keeping it, and be happy for it for the rest of their lifes.

Another thing I like is birthday greetings. Cards, the cute one, the funny one with jokes, or just a simple words formed into great sentences which came out from the heart.

I just want the person I care about had a very amazing blasting birthday to be remembered forever.

Happy birthday for anyone who's celebrating it today! Have a blast guys! it's your day... :)

On the way home.

Hitting the road. Bus driver flooring the gas pedal. Bus runs on the highway. As they're chasing each others. Bus and bus, trucks and trucks, cars and cars.

Dark clouds shroud. Thunders and lightning. Rain pouring heavily. Drops on the window pane. As they're trying to break in.

Me. Sitting here. Brain begins to work. Fingers tapping on keypad.

Me want to sleep

Late nite monologue. Sleep deprived talk. Brain freezed blabber.
Sun will shine in hours. Yet still awake. Lack of sleep. But still fighting to stay awake.
When will this end? When will i get my chance to get in touch with bed? When will i can hug my baby blooster. When will i go swimmingg in my dreams.
