Romanticizing My Cooking

Bakso I have to admit that my love for cooking is growing. It's growing and I can't believe it myself. This feeling has been like this since probably two years ago. Before, cooking felt like a hard work that I had to fulfill. It still is, but the difference is I enjoy it now. So it does not feel like I am forcing myself.  Back then whenever I cooked, it's either wrong recipe or incorrect measurement. It never tasted right. So I gave up cooking just because I never found the right one. And then I started to feel that I wanna eat better. I don't want to just eat whatever, I want to know what goes into my body. If I prepare it myself, then I know it's good one.  I don't eat too much sugar, sometimes it is hard to buy one thing outside and has a lot of sugar in it. So cooking it myself will allow me to control the amount of sugar. So I found recipes and I tried to make them. As to my surprise, they taste right! Exactly how they should have tasted. That made me happy

My Warm house


My house now is not a big house rather than the last house where I lived. The last house before I move here is so big big big house ever, was built on Dutch’s colonize. Yes, very big and located in front of main road. So crowded, so noisy, and always be target of accidents, don’t know why. But now, I live small house, maybe since 12years ago. Smaller than before, in quite place, not really far from main road, but not in front of it. So little bit quite here.

Even not a big house and there are 6 people in house, it feel so warm here. Of course smaller house with much people will make it warmer, but not because of that. it is because love hehe… we are loving each other, that makes my house feel so warm. Yeah I know, I live in Pandaan which is very very hot (and not good for vampire hehe), but when stay inside house I feel so cool and stay warm always. Is that sounds strange? Stay cool and warm in same time? Not strange for me. Feel so comfortable here.

Mom always take care of family, cook always and feed us with good and healthy foods, always listen to her kids stories, always gave us good advice, always told me something important since I am the oldest one, always listen and obey to everything that Dad says, always keep her mom save and healthy, always do the best for family. That is my mom.

Dad always watch his every kids very well, always be the first one who got worried if something happen to kids and family, even not talking as much as mom he always lead us to be in good way in life, always give us lots of money if we say “Dad, I have to buy this book, that book, many books”, dad always want his kids do the best in education and get much knowledge, such a good leader for his wife, kids, and family. That is my dad.

And my granny, even she is so loud and talking much, I know that she talking about our goodness. Not all can accept her habit, lot of people doesn’t like she talks much, it just because they doesn’t know my granny so much like me even they are her grandchild too. Getting older, and still fresh, and still active, and still loud, and still talks much, that is my granny.

Sisters, are doing good. The youngest are looks like me. the oldest are dreamer, same like me. so they both, are looks like me when I was young or now. They just follow their oldest well. They are my sisters.

And me, it’s me. and only me. The oldest daughter, the oldest grandchild. I just have to be me. and I am happy to be me, my self.  

And that’s my house, people in my warm house. Really love them all.

Mengenal Nyai, Eyang Buyut Orang Indo Kebanyakan

  Seperti yang pernah saya tulis sebelumnya tentang darah campuran Eropa, saya pernah janji nulis tentang orang Indo dan Nyai, nenek buyut dari para Indo kebanyakan. Sekarang kita liat definisi dari Indo sendiri. Jadi Indo (Indo-Europeaan atau Eropa Hindia) adalah para keturunan yang hidup di Hindia Belanda (Indonesia) atau di Eropa yang merupakan keturunan dari orang Indonesia dengan orang Eropa (Kebanyakan Belanda, Jerman, Prancis, Belgia). Itulah kenapa saya agak risih mendengar orang menyebut Indonesia dengan singkatan Indo. Karena kedua hal itu beda definisi dan arti. Sekarang apa itu Nyai? Apa definisi dari Nyai? Nyai adalah seorang perempuan pribumi (bisa jadi orang Indonesia asli), Tionghoa dan Jepang yang hidup bersama lelaki Eropa di masa Hindia Belanda. Hidup bersama atau samenleven yang artinya kumpul kebo, tidak menikah. Fungsinya nyai itu apa? Fungsinya diatas seorang baboe dan dibawah seorang istri, tapi wajib melakukan kewajiban seorang baboe dan istri. Karena mem

Soal ujian TOPIK vs EPS TOPIK

Setelah membahas perbedaan TOPIK dan EPS TOPIK , kali ini saya akan menulis materi tentang apa saja yg diujikan *agak sedikit detail ya*. Pengalaman mengikuti dan 'membimbing' untuk kedua ujian tersebut, jadi sedikit banyak mengetahui detail soal yg diujikan. Dimulai dari EPS TOPIK. Jika anda adalah warga yg ingin menjadi TKI/TKW di Korea, lulus ujian ini adalah wajib hukumnya. Kebanyakan dari mereka ingin cara singkat karena ingin segera berangkat sehingga menggunakan cara ilegal. Bahkan ada yg lulus tanpa ujian. Bisa saja, tapi di Korea dia mlongo. Untuk soal EPS TOPIK, soal-soal yg keluar adalah materi tentang perpabrikan dan perusahaan semacem palu, obeng, cangkul, cara memupuk, cara memerah susu sapi, cara mengurus asuransi, cara melaporkan majikan yg nggak bener, cara membaca slip gaji, sampai soal kecelakaan kerja. Intinya tentang bagaimana mengetahui hak dan kewajiban bekerja di Korea termasuk printilan yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan. Karena yang melalui jalur ini
