C’est Ma Vie..

Oh my.. i’m sooo tired today.. my pms has come.. i had class from 9 am to 6.30 pm today, and got back home at 7.30 pm. i’m soooo dead!!! and it’s very cold outside.. too bad, i haven’t washed my sweatshirt, so i just wore a cardigan to school today. it’s killing me.. the wind blew really hard, i almost couldn’t walk. i guess the wind made me feel so much worse.

it’s weird when you have your pms. your body temperature change, you become more sensitive, and weaker too. that’s how i feel though. today is the worst day. i already felt it since yesterday but i think today is the worst one.. i’m like dying now. feel like wanting to sleep rite away.

o well.. i will sleep soon.. i’ve nothing to do anymore, nothing to review <daaa!! who said that?>.. of course there’s something to review, but i’ll do it tomorrow. still have times to get ready for all the midterms and quiz. and i’m kinda happy as well.. one of my midterms is postponed! yaaay… i ought to be happy.. if not i’ll have 3 tests on the same day <meaning: i’m dead>.. wuhuuu…

okay then.. time to sleep.. but i’m going to call Mr. Ganteng first… i’ve to call him "ganteng" today … because he looked pretty neat; its just because he had to go to the job fair. ha.. ha.. too bad, dear… =p

have a good day, everyone… have a great weekend as well =)

Huwaaaahhh.. Merry was here! haha.. *norak ye gue* i thought nobody reads my blog except Narto.. hihihi.. thank u for stopping by ya, Mer.. btw, how are ya? how’s thing going in Melb?

It’s so good if you don’t crave during your PMS period. sometimes it really does killing me <sometimes>. Hey, "fied noodle in XO Chilli Sauce + extra chilli" sounds yummy.. i love chilli!!!! *ngeces*

Mer, i do have recipe for Rujak, but I’m about going to school rite now. So, i’ll post it tonight. ok?

RUJAK BUAH

Bahan bumbu:

• 3 sdm kacang tanah, sangrai
• 2 sdm gula merah
• terasi bakar/sangrai, optional
• cabe rawit <sesuai selera>
• 1/2 sdt garam
• asam jawa <tamarind>, sedikit
• air <sesuai selera>

Buah: <berhubung buah²an disini limited pilihannya, jd sesuei selera aja ya>

• ubi <yam>
• nanas
• bangkuang
• jambu air
• mangga
• kedondong
• etc <bole pake apel hijau kalo doyan>

Cara bikin:

• haluskan cabe rawit,garam, terasi, asam jawa terlebih dahulu
• masukkan kacang yg sudah disangrai <diulek sampe agak hancur>
• tambahkan gula merah, ulek sambil sesekali dikasih air.

TIPS:

• kalo males sangrai kacang, beli aja yg udah siap pakai "roasted peanut, unsalted"
• asam jawa boleh juga dicampur sama air, tapi biasanya kalo msh utuh rasanya lebih mantep
• banyaknya air tergantung selera, kalo mau agak encer ya harus rada byk. tp biasanya bumbu rujak cepet bgt berubah jd kental.

Happy rujak-an yaaaa kalo yg mau cobain!!! Mer, muda²an cocok samo lidah kau yeh…. =)

I was filling up the bulletin board today and one of the question was:
"Kalau lagi bosen begini, enaknya MAKAN apa ya?"

and i was like… omigod.. i suddenly craved a lot of foods; actually, i love foods, i love eating, so there won’t be any days without foods in my mind, especially when my PMS <pre-menstrual syndroms> comes.. it will be worse than usual.

Today, i craved eating @ Take sushi <the spicy beef soups; i don’t know the korean name, but trust me it’s really good> and lamb vindaloo/lamb jalfrezi/lamb biryani from Taste of India.. hoek.. wish i had much times so I could go there.

how about you? have you ever craved to eat something? or is it just me? do you crave more when you’re having your PMS? or is it just me?

I can’t believe weekend is over, like narto said this weekend seemed very short. well, it did.. but there were a lot of things happening this weekend.

PART I - Erick, Vince and Victor farewell

on friday, we had a farewell dinner for Erick, Vincent and Victor at Taste of India, the best Indian restaurant in town, then we went to have bubble teas at Bubble King. It was fun, guys.. the foods was great <as always, i ate lamb vindaloo and had lamb jalfrezi to go for narto>, the bubble teas were good too, but the place was too crowded. sorry to victor who didn’t get his order until we left. <too bad, tor>. It’s sad to know they’re leaving, but that’s what you call life. People come and go in your life.

This is the picture from the farewell day. We took this picture after the dinner while waiting for the bus.

Actually, this picture was taken candidly by Erick while we’re on our way to Bubble King

PART II - having fun on Saturday

i loooove Saturdays.. why? because i can wake up late. i usually wake up around 10 to 11 on saturday; its still early for me, but not for narto. haha.. i know i’m wasting my time if i wake up too late but what can i do? i looooveee sleeping. so yea.. this saturday i woke up @ 11, then had breakfast <as usual there’s always a cup of coffee>, watched tv, chit chat with my families and took a shower. We <me, narto, and my cousin> went to Costco (again) hehe… bought mp3 player for my cousin, and narto bought me a pair boots. crazy boot. haha.. i’m not sure if i can wear those boots, but i’ll try. i think i’ll only wear it when it’s very coooold and lots of snows outside. bought pineapple; why? i was craving to eat rujak.. especially rujak @ sunter mall <slurrrppp..> .got back home… then he said he’s been craving to eat ice cream since friday. so yea, we dropped off the stuffs and went to white oaks mall. surprisingly.. we didn’t buy anything there except ice cream and a cup of coffee <again>. hihihi.. we were just looking around and i was tired, so we went home..

bought some fruits at A&P for rujak, and once we got home.. we started to get ready making the rujak… slurrppp.. and of course we ordered some chinese foods for dinner because i didn’t have enough time to cook. besides, i was planning to make soto betawi, but i couldn’t find beef tripe on that day. the butcher said they will have the tripes on Monday, so i’ll check them out on Monday. yes.. we had a great dinner together at home. sechuan foods and followed by rujak. nyam nyam..

PART III - study day

it’s Sunday.. time to go to church and library. Went to church as usual.. but i didn’t see Mrs. Joan, hmmm.. deuuh.. ganti ke indo dey.. cape jg pake bhs inggris.. emang mood²an banget dey gue ini. uda pd tau kan ya kalo gue tu moody bgt dan parah bgt kalo udah kumat. bole tanya ke org rumah & narto de kalo ga percaya. hhehehe..

okay.. trs dr gereja kita ke library.. sebenernya siy ga ada rencana mo ke library, mo belajar di apt narto aja, tp kayanya bakal ga belajar kalo di apt dia. jd ya kita ke library aja bareng si uuq. ketemuan sm narto di bus, trs begitu kita nyampe lgsg makan siang dey. kebetulan kalo minggu library ga buka, jd narto beliin pasta dr angelos. duuuh enaaaak bgt!!! salah satu tmpt favorit kita bedua disini kalo buat italian foods, esp pasta. trus belajar deh dr jam 1an sampe jam 8 malem.. sebenernya jam 7an jg udah laper bangettt tp berhubung busnya uda lewat jd harus tunggu satu jam lg dey. trs dr library uda pusing malem mau makan apa.. trs akhirnya setelah dipikir², makan nasi yg msh ngepul pake telor orak arik (dikasih cabe rawit plus daun bawang), sama lalapan+terasi pasti nikmaaaaaaat bangettt.. dan bener ajaa.. begitu sampe rumah langsung sibuk dey potong² cabe, daun bawang..gue yg bikin telornya, trs narto yg ngulek sambelnya. gue dah KO bgt dey buat ngulek².. lagian dr kmrn jg uda narto yg ngulek² terus. hihihi..tengkyu, yang.. =) gpp ya biar ntar makin berotot *lol* ya sutra… trus lgsg dey gue makan dgn lahapnya.. kalap boo.. haha…

.:UPDATE:.
Victor & Vincent, thank you buat suratnya. hope one day we’ll meet again. good luck in everything..and God bless both of you in all you do. updated on Sept 26, 2005 @ 11.28 pm.

it’s 3.44 pm.. and here i am.. still stuck at school. i still have another class coming in 30 mins and i still haven’t read all the materials. blah… i’m just too tired (read:lazy)..ha ha.. o well, i’m tired as well. tuesday and thursday are the worst day of the week. i have class from 9 am to 6.30 pm; and the worst part, i’ve to take 7.42 am bus which means i have to wake up at 6.30 am. why should i wake up that early? because.. i’ve to eat my breakfast, drink my coffee (for sure or i’ll be dead in class), take a po*p, and of course take a shower. i know its a lot, but those are the MUST do things before i go to campus =)

want to know what i did during managerial accounting class today? i know i should listen and pay attention to the prof, but i already read the lecture notes yesterday.. so i had time to think about other things. hihihi.. i was planning the menu for next week.. and all the sudden i kept listing the foods that i can remember the recipe clearly. so i took out another paper, and wrote down the foods by its caterogy, i.e. chicken, pork, beef, seafood, tahu & tempe, egg, veggie, etc.. and surprisingly.. i know a lotttt!! hihihi… can’t say the number, i know there are more ppl who know a lot better than me, but i’m quite happy with what i have and what i know rite now.. and i really hope i can have my own site sometimes in the future.

okay.. i think i’ve to go.. i want to find a good spot in the class.. hihi… take care. have a nice weekend everybody =p

.:UPDATE:.

the class was cancelled… BLAH!!! i was waiting for 2 hours, and couldn’t believe that it’s cancelled >.< i really really wanted to skip that class, and i changed my mind to not skipping the class during my managerial accounting class.. and then it’s cancelled. wasn’t it great? phiew… i wasn’t mad, just felt very stupid.. could save my time for napping if i really went home 2 hours earlier >.< o well, that’s fine.. i went home, it was showering… and  i’m glad there was no thunderstorm on my way home. gonna tell ya sumtin.. i’m scared of thunderstorm, can say i have a phobia with it. actually, i met narto on the bus, then we went to A&P for a while.. picking up nappa cabbage and frozen fries (i was craving to eat chickin wing, but then i decided i wanted to eat fries haha).

so.. we finally got home.. fried the fries immediately.. i was starving.. and i also marinated the chicken for "ayam goreng robocop". its narto who named the fried chicken to ayam goreng robocop. i dont know how he got that name, he said it just looks like robocop… which i dont think it is =p it looks like kentucky fried chicken, you know… we also cooked "egg and tomato soup" <again>. hahaha… it’s ours favorite fooood.. very easy to cook (took us only about 10 mins to cook it), and its very yuummmyyy. trust me!!!

i think that’s all that i wanted to update =) i’m still excited about my whole new blog rite now, so i’ll keep updating until i dont feel like wanting to update my blog anymore. and actually its also requested by somebody <ps: thanks for everything.. love you so much> to keep blogging. hihi.. we’ll see yaaa.. if only i have time =)  

hiyaa.. weekend is over and narto already went back to his apt >.< .. we’re back to our business (read:study). i’ve to prepare for my french class… actually, here’s some update from last friday… i skipped my class.. it was raining, and i wasn’t feeling so well.. so yea, i decided not going to class. wouldn’t make myself feel worse.. so i had quite a long weekend, though i almost stayed at home the whole friday. we went to a movie on friday night (info: friday is always the premier day for any new movie), so he asked me out. why? because he wanted me to forget the bad memory that i got from the previous movie; (isnt that sweet? thanks, dear..) last time i went to the movie, you know what happened.. (plz read one post before this), so yea.. its all good. the movie was great. the title is "just like heaven", and it really did change everything.. i could sleep well these last 2 days. if you like comedy-drama movie.. watch it. its really funny and romantic too. loveeee the garden!!! i hope one day i can have my own garden. i’m working on it now… i was planting lots of tulips seed few weeks ago, but i’ve to wait until next spring to see all of them growing up hihihi…

what else did i do this weekend?? saturday… i went to narto’s apt, then we went to costco; didn’t plan on buying anything, we just love going to supermarket and looking around.. and we always go to the book section, and we saw a chinese food recipe book, and once we opened the book.. guess what we saw!!! it’s a recipe that his mom gave me. that’s his fave food and i also like it.. can say it’s my fave food also.. we kept looking the book and we found several recipes that his mom often makes… so yea.. we decided to buy that book. and he bought me one set of pilate kit. not a good idea for me.. but i know its good for my health.. that’s what the doctor said =( gotta do it twice a week or… i’ll be in soooo much trouble.. lol

sunday.. went to church as usual… and Mrs. Pudney invited me to her apt.. i always love to see her @ the church.. she always hugs us (me and my cousin) everytime we go to the church even though its not easy for her to walk around and hug us. she’s pretty old… and when i went back to indo.. she’s the one whom i always remember to give her sumtin. so, i did buy her a gift. i gave her a "songket".. and she looked very happy when i gave it to her. even my minister also said it’s very beautiful. so i gave it to her last week, and today i met her again. she said… she did something to the songket.. and she asked me to come to her apt and see what she did to the songket. hmm..

after church, i went home, changed my cloth from semi-formal to casual shirt.. then i went to narto’s apt again. i did study some french.. and we ended up going out for lunch. haha.. we had dimsum and some kind of fried noodle, tasted sooo good (maybe it’s because we were very hungry) haha… then as usual bought a cup of Tim horton’s for me and cookies for him and my sister. went back to my place, had 1.5 hours of sleeping.. and then cooked for dinner. menu: eggplant with minced meat + pork belly cooked in soya sauce + pork sausages =)

i think it’s time to go back to study.. will share some more stories next time..

it’s 3.12 am.. and yea.. i’m still awake!! i don’t know if this is what you call "insomnia", but i really do have difficulties to fall asleep for almost a week. well.. maybe it’s not.. i know y i can’t sleep.. it sounds silly and stupid, but it’s true that it happened after i watched horror movie. not gonna name the movie here, but you might know this movie.. (hint: its playing at some major theatrers now).

i was so tired yesterday..after having morning till evening class with only few hours break.. i got back home.. and had dinner @ home with narto. i was too tired and didn’t feel like wanting to cook, so he cooked our dinner. very simple meal but i love it.. checked my email, make sure i got the email from my accounting & operation profs.. took a shower.. and went to my own pinky room.. IBS was back.. i really hate it when it’s coming.. but i’ve to get use to of it. i’m still trying to adjust my body with my new timetable, hope everything will be okay.. i went to bed about 11.30 pm. i thought i would sleep until 9 am (i’d set my alarm to 9.15 am)… and i can’t believe i woke up at 1.30ish and couldn’t sleep anymore. i called him.. and he already slept.. didn’t mean to wake him up; thought he was still studying. sorry, hon.. >.<

gee.. i think i’m having a cold today.. still have 2 classes to go today.. i really have to go to the class, at least my french class.. we’ll see what will happen. at least i’ll try to sleep after this.. and i think i really should go to the class today.. its weekend. i can rest for the whole weekend, at least i’ll have some fun. don’t have any plan yet.. but i know for sure we’ll have so much things to do.. one thing i know for sure… do my laundry. baaah.. it’s a looooot.. i’ve to re-wash almost all of my clothes..why? its because i was so stupid last week; yes, we had the bbq, and i forgot to close my window (my patio is right under my window), and all the sudden.. my room smelled like "sate" including my clothes.. it’s fine though… at least we had fun last week.. and i love doing my laundry.. esp when you have someone helping you =)

i think i’m going to bed now.. don’t know if i can sleep.. but i’ll try.. thanks for reading my journal.. feel free to post some comments… have a nice weekend, everyone.. =)

yea.. it’s Monday again.. it’s school time again.. actually, i’m at library rite now.. i went to school with my bf and still very early for my class; thats why i’m stuck at the library. i should’ve read my operation textbook rite now.. really.. but i’m still very lazy.. well i did read some tho.. this is my break time.. *what an excuse* kekeke…

i don’t know where was my post from 4 months ago? i’m not very good with computer, i just started designing my blog all over again, and i lost it. well, that’s fine.. nothing’s very interesting about that post. i love blogging, i used to have it everywhere.. blogger, xanga, geocities, and even from my school’s website. but.. since i’m very moody.. all of them only last for few weeks. lol.. u can check it out at my crib.. this one is still alive but it doesn’t have so much things inside. having my own website has become my dream.. especially having a website for my kitchen journal.. like.. my recipes.. what i usually do in the kitchen.. how i fail when i try new recipe.. what ppl say about my foods… stuff like that.. i’m not going to do it now..maybe sometimes later.. after i have my own family =)

speaking about my kitchen and foods.. last weekend was soooo fun!! we had a bbq.. it’s a bit complicated to get the fire..thanks to narto and my cousin who were willing to do it =) but it was soooo fun.. i started doing the groceries on thursday and friday… then marinated the meats on friday night. we had chicken satay with the peanut sauce, pork satay, and of course beef kalbi.. beef kalbi is a korean food, doesn’t look like satay at all. it’s like a grilled beef ribs.. yummy~~ we were supposed to have jagung bakar, but we were too tired to make the fire.. hehehe… i should’ve taken the picture so that i can share it with you all.. too bad that summer is over.. and school already started.. we’ll do it again next year..

prens… time to go.. i’ll post another story again next time..
