I feel... nothing

recently did this to the empty walls in my kost room :

FYI, 104 is my room number.

I know it's just too plain, but couldn't find any other idea to make my failed lomo picts and movie tickets more useful.

and this one, are ALL of my movie tickets since December 2006. 

see? some have even faded that I kept them in my wallet for too long

here goes my point for tonight :

as I moved my eyes through the tickets, then I read the movie title, each movies threw my mind straight to the moment I watched them.

when I saw Rush Hour 3, I remembered watching it with Irma, Putri, and AT @ Setiabudi 21, still in our Sanur & CC uniform. then I walked down to Starbucks to get some caffeine kick.

there I found a group of kids, and turned out that they were orphans and the baristas were teaching them basic lessons like english and math. so I joined them and that was somehow fun.

until now I still wish to meet them again and have another mentoring session, but never get the time (and the perfect companion) to go there again :(

when I saw Quickie Express, I remembered watching it with Puput Danah and Aping, right after last day of exam and I cut off my bang like THIS

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!

when I saw I Know Who Killed Me, I remembered Irma, my forever and ever sweetheart *backsound : unyuuu* we watched it in MetMall, that was the only film that (we thought) the most sane enough. turned out that Lindsay Lohan was a total garbage there.

after I saw these photos, I thought :

ampuni kami Ya Tuhan.....

when I saw Wolverine, I remembered Noni, and the way we squealed and hugged each other everytime Hugh Jackman appeared on screen. yea yea, speaking about ababil...

when I saw Crank 2, I remembered Puput. then I bursted out into laughter. I remember we watched this at DjakTer right after school. we decided to watch it because of Jason Statham, then after the movie started, we just couldn't stop commenting on the scenes :

Itu dia berapa juta kali ngomong f*ck dah?

Waaaa itu Chester Linkin Park kan?

Hah dia gituan di pacuan kuda??? WANJIIIRRR!!!

and so on and so on..

and of course I remember that we even broke the sofa due to too much laughing. when the light was turned on, tau2 kita liat pegangan tangannya COPOT GITU AJA.

how I miss menyek2in your cheek Put! <3

then I saw Kambing Jantan, and I instantly remember my ex and our first date.

I compared it to our own real story, then felt amazed of how amazing coincidence would be.

Kambing Jantan version : Dika studied in Adelaide, Kebo in UI, majored Chinese Studies. they broke up after Dika moved to Aussie.

my version : He is now in Sydney, me in UI, majoring German Studies. broke up before he left to Aussie.

i felt like, GEEZ?

saw Night At The Museum 2, remembered him.

saw Race To Witch Mountain, remembered him.

saw Public Enemies, remembered him.

my head was full with all these sudden memories, but deep inside? I felt nothing.

I stared at them once again, still nothing.

maybe it's true that time heals everything.

well, is it a sign for something... or nothing?

this thing starts to make me SICK

CEPETAN KULIAH AJA NAPA?????

food explorer on duty : Kitchenette!

just gave a try to Kitchenette this afternoon. before I start, the picts below were taken by cellphone camera so pardon the bad quality. however you can see better images and more details about the resto here

Kitchenette is in Plaza Indonesia Extension, I forgot in which floor it is pokoknya di bawah2 deh. located next to Louis Vuitton and Tod's, to make it easier to find.

the most remarkable thing is the interior. looked a bit like The Apartment (see my previous post), but only the kitchen part. well managed with nice concept.  they also have an open kitchen, so you can see how your dishes are cooked.

enough prologue. let's start refreshing your eyes.

the menu list

forgot the name, but it contained strawberries and kiwis (as you can see -__-)

and tasted simply good

matched my ring! *gapenting sih emang*

I was interested by this, then decided have a regular plate of salad...

and voila, this was it

romaine lettuce with turkey bacon, croutons, corn, and caesar dressing.

 as a salad maniac, I could say this one tasted GREAT

RATED : (based on personal opinion)

interior : ****

food : ****

service : ***

price : ***

(bit pricey, but worth the great taste)

TOTAL  : 3,5 out of 5

finished with the scrumptious meal, gada kerjaan, foto2 bentar lah ya 

the pictures above were at a salon, waiting for mommy and her new haircut. you know who started the photo session there?

nobody but DADDY.

quoting my sister's tweet (@deaadila) :

"Ya Tuhan, bokap narsis bgt. Bosen nunggu nyokap nyalon dgn PD nya foto" pake BB. Gue tau skrg knapa @yukeadora narsis gitu. Turunan -_-" "

yaa gak heran kalo sekeluarga gw banci foto semua. zzzz

well then, that's all. I'll just be back with other foody reporty, hope it's informative yet useful enough :*

otak tengah

source : http://otaktengah.com/

Aktivasi otak tengah adalah  suatu penemuan fenomenal dalam pendidikan anak. Teori penggunaan otak tengah sebenarnya telah banyak dilakukan pada banyak negara negara di Asia terutama Jepang. Jepang telah lama melakukan praktek aktivasi otak tengah pada anak-anak.Seorang anak yang telah diaktivasi otak tengah akan memiliki kemampuan lebih dibandingkan dengan anak yang otak tengahnya belum di aktivasi.

Kemampuan yang akan dimiliki anak setelah aktivasi antara lain :

• blind fold & skin vision (penglihatan kulit)
  
• berjalan dengan mata ditutup
• melihat dengan menembus benda lain
• kemampuan prediksi

Training aktivasi otak tengah telah mulai dilakukan di Indonesia. Saat ini belum banyak orang yang mengetahui keberadaan dari training  ini. Training biasanya dilakukan selama 2 hari. Pada saat itu juga biasanya dilakukan training untuk para orang tua.

Jadwal training di Jakarta & Depok bisa dilihat dengan mengklik hyperlink.

(interested? I am.)

I believe "nyasar" is my middle name

tonight's post is specially dedicated for Fira & Bandoro, who have just witnessed my hidden talent as, well, some kind of compass-wrecker.

the whole disaster happened on Friday, July 30th 2010.

started at Depok, around 3 PM.

Fira and I asked Bando's favor to take us to Emax Kemang. we were supposed to get there at 4 PM since Caca and her band performed exactly at that hour. and here's our conversation inside Bando's car :

Bando : "Yuk lo tau jalan ke Kemang kan?"

Fira : "Jiaah Yuke lagi ditanyain, jalan ke rumah sendiri aja dia gak afal hahahaha"

Bando : "Hah serius? Hahahaha!"

Me : "Sompret lu fir. Eh emang lu gatau jalan ndo?"

Bando : "Kagak."

Me : "Lu juga gatau lagi fir?"

Fira : "Kagak."

Me : "LOH JADI INI GADA YANG TAU JALAN???"

Fira & Bando : "KAGAK."

hal pertama yang terlintas di otak gw : MAMPUS.

so I instantly called my dad. thank God I was born from a GPS-brained man (though I didn't get that gene at all T_T).

my dad explained all the detailed way from Depok to Kemang. I repeated every single word he said so that Bando and Fira could hear it too. but after I hung up the phone :

Bando : "Jadi abis ini kemana?"

Me : "Lah emang daritadi gw ngomong lo gak denger?"

Bando : "KAGAK."

Me : "MAIGAT."

lucky that I still remembered some important points. but turned out that it wasn't enough to prevent the upcoming catastrophe.

Me : "Loh tadi harusnya belok kiri!"

Fira : "Tadi kayaknya satu arah deh yuk."

Me : "Terus gimana dong ini?"

so I called dad, again :

Me : "Pi ini arahnya bener Mampang Prapatan kan?"

Dad : "Iya. Pokoknya kalo udah lurus kamu belok kiri aja."

Me : "Nah tadi belokannya kelewatan pi. Gimana dong?"

Dad : Pokoknya kalo ada belokan ke kiri langsung belok. Tar tinggal tanya orang kalo Kemang lewat mana."

we did as daddy said. then :

Bando : "Eh ini yakin lewat gang gini? Belok mana nih?"

Yuke : "Udah ikutin mainstream aja. Liat mobil2 di depan pada kemana ikutin aje."

Fira : "Ikutin mobil depan! Gw yakin dia mau ke suatu tempat, mau ke Kemang juga pasti."

then not long after that, the car stopped in front of a house.

Me : "Iye fir dia mau ke suatu tempat, KE RUMAHNYA."

and then, new disaster came : the path was VERBODEN

so Fira got out of the car, tried to ask someone about the right way. I stayed in the car to help Bando retreating the car.

Bando : "Kiri masih jauh kan?"

Me : "(liat belakang) Jauh2. (nengok ke depan. then : CRIEEETTTT)

Bando : "APAAN TUH???"

see this pict, and you'll see what happened. mobilnya ngebaret tembok aja gitu -___-"

we finally got out of the tight pathway. but always, shit happens.

1. macet parah

2. mau belok kiri, tapi gara2 semua lagi celeng akhirnya Bando gajadi belok dan tetep lurus. sementara lurus itu adalah ke arah Menteng Kuningan

3. mau belok di belokan selanjutnya, terus ketutupan bis sekolah, jadi kita gatau ada belokan ke kiri

after 2 hours inside the car, with huge nervousness and massive panic attack. we finally made it to Kemang. 

HALLELUIAH!!!!!!

di saat orang normal nyetir 2 jam bisa sampe Bandung, kita cuma bisa sampe Kemang. fine -_____-

lucky that Caca's performance was postponed until 5 PM. so right after we arrived, the performance started.

Dear Lord, there's only 2 things I desperately wish :

1. hilangkan kutukan nyasar dari diriku Ya Tuhan. udah 5 ORANG yang jadi korban nih!

2. semoga gak akan ada korban ke ENAM. 

AMIN YA TUHAN AMIIINNNN!!!

FYI, there's one part of conversation that I have to highlight :

Bando : "Heran deh, biasanya kalopun nyasar gw tinggal raba2 dikit tar juga pasti sampe. Kok hari ini feeling gw tumpul ya?"

Fira : "Gara2 Yuke kali. Yuk kayaknya lo terkutuk deh, setiap siapa yang nebengin lo pasti nyasar. Caca yang gapernah nyasar aja bisa nyasar sama lo. Hahahahhaa"

Me : "Oke gimana kalo gw turun aja sekarang? Mungkin kalo gada gw lo berdua bisa langsung sampe Kemang? Kayaknya beneran deh gw ada kutukan nyasar..."

Cooking 101 at your service!

hunger strikes at midnight?

no worries people, here are 3 simple steps to banish all the hunger away :

1. open your fridge

2. grab anything you like

3. mix them

some easy examples :

- honey stars + plain yoghurt + baguette = bruschetta w/ cereal spread

- fresh veggies + macaroni + mayo + potato = salad

- smoked ham + cheese = meat stick

- fresh fruits + tea = fruit punch

... and so on and so on. free your imagination!

I'll spill out one of my most successful experiment : 

BERRYNANA SANDWICH WITH CHOCO SPRINKLES

follow these simple steps to enjoy the exhilarating sensation :

1. prepare some fresh strawberries, wash them, cut out the leaves, and dice them into small pieces. do the same with banana, but you only need maybe a half of it.

2. prepare 2 slices of bread, for me whole wheat bread is preferable (healthier, and obviously better for a slenderer body).

3. you might also like some chocolate sprinkles to add some sweet twist.

4. put all the diced fruits on the first slice, then put the second slice on it. cut the sandwich into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.

5. put some strawberries and sliced bananas on top of it as garnish. looks even sweeter, yum yum :3

then VOILA, the sandwich is ready!

fyi, one important thing for midnight snacks :

try not to cook them

fresh materials serve us best. you don't want some other layers of fat under your skin, do you?

but if the raw ones taste too plain, you can boil or microvawe them, but DON'T FRY.

hope you enjoy the recipe, gotta be back with other mouthwatering dishes.

Bon appetit!

Message in a Bottle - John Mayer

Just cast away and I am lost at sea

Another lonely day and no one here but me

More loneliness than any man could bear

Rescue me before I fall into despair

I send an S.O.S. to the world

I send an S.O.S. to the world

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

A year has passed since I wrote my note

I should have known it right from the start

Only hope can keep us together

Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

Walked out this morning I dont believe what I saw

A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore

Seems I'm not alone at being alone

A hundred billion castaways all looking for a home

I send an S.O.S. to the world

I send an S.O.S. to the world

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

Fashion & Craft Festival 2010, extended

as always, I went with the complete pack of Iskandarians to satisfy daddy's need of every single JCC expos. that was the last day, so most of the SPGs were sort of overenthusiastic and some even gave big discounts.

but talking about the stuffs, I simply can't understand why they called it "Fashion & Craft Fest", since I didn't found too many nice stuffs there. well, I found a few, but (once again) not that many.

I'll just show you the snaps :

borrow daddy's silver tiger ring. rawrrr

whole look of the day. wearing the heels I just bought with super affordable price. bold : affordable

inside the expo :

they even gave away some free magazines there. lucky I got an Elle

my sister kinda liked the pendant, since it looks like a "D". well, speaking about narcissism..

bought two giant rings and a necklace there. will post the picts later ya, males motonya kemaren :s

I left at around 8 PM and was superdamnextrahyper HUNGRY, since I ate almost nothing for lunch. then decided to have dinner @ Yoshinoya GI. daddy was curious, there was always long queue everytime we passed there. so why don't give a try?

well, for me the dish taste good, just plainly good.

my sister and I were starving that we finished the meal so fast. then took some picts just to kill time

paid a short visit to 7-Eleven, sister and brother wanted to buy something for next day's breakfast.

my own signature mix, you wanna try?

I wonder why her face always look like this hahaha

okay done with my report. I'll post something more interesting next time, (hopefully).

lots of X

KEBABS, can you define?

if you ask the dictionary, they'll say :

kebab |kəˈbäb| (also kabob)

nouna dish of pieces of meat roasted or grilled on a skewer or spit.• [usu. with adj. ] a dish of any kind of food cooked in pieces in this way : swordfish kebabs.ORIGIN late 17th cent.: from Arabic kabāb, partly via Urdu, Persian, and Turkish.

but if you ask me, I'll say exactly like this :

"KEBABS means Kelas Bahasa Bahagia Selalu. consists of 22 people with their own weirdness and talents. stunning with their own ways. always found an idea to have fun and forget the pressure at school. the place I would run for when I need a joke to laugh, a help on study, a shoulder to cry on, a friend to chat (read : gossip), a partner to explore the city, or anything. to make it simple : THE BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH"

that's simply why I miss them :*
