I got an e-mail from Abe. She said sorry for something that i thought not really necessary to be sorry anyway. What was it all about? She was sorry for singing my song with her Thailand friend in Boston! -wait- So, again, why would she be sorry again?
I replied, and i said it's okay. I was actually flattered! Ahaha.. My song in the US? it's kinda cool uh?
I wrote that song for my band, which at the time was a bit hopeless. A band? Yep, a band, my band, a girls band. We've been trying to find a recording company to just - at least - listen to our music, but uh it was just the past. The band is still exist but the personnel are completely different - except the guitarist, we leave the band to her. The other four, well, one leave for US dream, one leave for a better life and career, one prefer to be a designer than a musician, and the last one is the keyboardist who no longer feel comfort with the -brand new- band. The past, and i did enjoy my time. Now, I don't actually sing anymore, i don't write any songs neither.
The song titled 'Just Fine'
well i have the record file, but i think this one is even better:

Foodie with me!
One more thing that is pretty interseting after you're becoming a housewife.
You cook!
This is my home-made black pepper-melted cheese burger! I cook this one every Sunday. My husband loves it very much!
The funniest part. When me and my husband go to some restaurants, for example: Korean. He would asks at least one of the recipe that i might be able to cook at home. Usually he asks me this:
Mah, bisa bikin Sundubu Zige gak?
Mommy, can you make Sundubu Zige?
or
Nih, ini nih enak. Bisa gak ya kalo bikin di rumah?
This is delicious. Can we make it at home?
sometime..
Bumbunya pas banget. Ini apa aja coba, Mah? Bisa dicobain ya di rumah?
The spice is just perfect. Can you telll me what it contains? Can we try it at home?
The craziest part. Everytime my husband asks me about food i got challenged and motivated to try it at home!!! I will suddenly go to the market and make some grocery shopping, pick up some minced meat, chicken, shrimp, veggies, and some spices, hillarious!
Next time i will put my Blackpepper Ribs, Fried Oxtail Soup, and Tom Yum Gung Soup pictures here. You may try my recipe at home (my husband always says they're bloody delicious!)

Happy Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year! and
Happy Valentine!!
I don't actually celebrate both of the above holidays. I'm a half chinese, but i never had any Gong Xi Fat Choi day in my life, i barely speak chinese but i do speak sundanese (how strange..), But, i do enjoy the celebration!
This play i attend on Chinese New Year eve was inspired by a chinese epic. Titled Sie Jin Kwei, a hero in white coat and riding a white horse. He was predicted to be the saviour of Tang Dynasty.

The play was held at Graha Bakti Budaya Taman Ismail Mardzuki. The seat was sold out, thank god we still get a seat even if it's not the best view we got. We seat on the left wings, and my seat was like the most-left seat the theatre has. The worst part was, i only can saw three-quarter stage-view! If i took a shoot (without a flash-light of-course), here what i got:
The play went very well. An outsanding performance. I had to say this one was new wave, it was a perfect blend among the theatrical play, human-potehi puppet act, and Wayang. The wayang was the one i like most! They called this Wayang Tapiv, i have no clue what does it mean ahaha.. I loved the lighting technique, the figure, and the dialogue - in my opinion, was more spontanous, critical, funny, and original!
Overall, i would give ten out of ten score for this play. I just can't wait to see another show by Koma..
Happy Valentine!!

family gathering @ TOBAK
i promised to upload some pics from last month family gathering at TOBAK. Well, here they are..
My family and my brother's girlfriend family. The most catchy fellas are these two cute man-to-be, they are my nephew and my bro's GF's brother. Since thye are in the same age, almost the same grade at school, same style, and same interests, no wonder if they caught in a serious conversation on the table!
The topic - i bet - was fun, but he still helped me to take some pictures of the food we ordered (except that he completely forgot to take the Kalbi part...).
Korean food always comes first in my mind (Japanese, Italian, and chinese follows), they are fresh, delicious, spicy, unique, and fun!! You know what i mean: with the charcoal on the table, some leaves, spicy kimchi, IT IS SOOO GOOD!!!
Jap Jae -- clear noodle, the texture just like konyaku-noodle (i'm not sure how they made this kind of noodle), with some veggies, soya sauce i guess, sesame seeda, and black mushroom, served warm and it welcome as appetizer.
What is this?? I don't really recommend this one. But the kids loved it so much. I think it's because of it's simple taste. They made from eggs, seafood, and vegies. Kids loved it because it has a light taste and not too spicy.
Here are Kimchi and veggies...
If you love Korean food too, sometime when you visit Jakarta you should try TOBAK, or if you don't get any seat (or forgot to reserve, i suggest you Han Gang Bon Ga.

Busy January
Been thru a lot of things in the beginning of 2010.
My birthday is on January, and i am 25 years old now, ouch! A quarter century!!! (and i still here..)ahahaha.. But thank God, I have my family around me, my beloved husband who always there to support and loving me, and some friends to colour my days. I think that's the best gift i had in my quarter-century age.
My cousin is getting married this year!! Her BF proposed her and they wan't to make it special this year. Congratz!!
My brother in-law also planed to have a more serious relationship with his GF. Few weeks ago, he introduced the whole family to her and her family. It was exciting! We had a lunch at TOBAK (it was actually my fave), and i thought it was a success, you know what i mean. There were no awkward gestures, silly speeches, and silent mode.
I didn't know how but we're just bonding. It feels like ours and her fams were actually (already) one big happy family. I hope it was a good sign :)
Oh yes, i will upload the pics uhm tomorrow..
Well, there were some bad news too..
At the office i got a horrible assesment result (which i don't really comfort to tell you all, but let me try). My result was unsatisfaction. I realized, sometime i can be careless and lost my accuracy. But, with some uncertainty environment, what can i do?? Well, bad things happens right?
We also plan some trips for the whole year..
Me and my husband enjoy travelling so much. This year we plan to go to Singapore (again!!!). Yes we LOVE Singapore, it is near (only one hour and fifteen minute from Jakarta), it's clean, it's fine, and the flight is rather cheap, so we can go anytime we have spare time. We also plan to visit Thailand this year, i hope we can get more time to travel more often :)
Next stop, maybe US or Europe. I've never been in Europe before, but my husband did several times in few years ago. He's been gone to France, Belgium, Netherland, Italy, and many more countries in EU. Talking about Europe, my friend is going to move to London next April. Gosh.. I will loose a friend again.. But, look at the bright side, more friends to be visited abroad ahaha..
if you plan for a travel too, make sure that the documents required are ready. First thing you should know is: Do you need a visa to visit a country or not?
When you get the travel documents ready, second thing i may suggest is to plan your travel at the best price. The easiest way is too book your flight and hotel few months before your trip, usually hotels and airlines have some early bird price. Uhm.. of course you can always skip this second thing when you have unlimited budget.
Well, enough with the travel. Yesterday, I also planned to take a pastry cooking course. Ahahaha how busy i was on last January. But it always better to get busy at the beginning and you can relax after :)
