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

90's generations

I am 90’s generation. I was born in 1991, so I am 90’s generation. I still remember how was my childhood with friends. Was very happy at that time. Just play around, play and play. Not thinking about what happen tomorrow, not thinking about obligations to do, about jobs, about money, about everything, just play around with friends. Hmmm ....always happy.

I still remember when I was child, I played something that always move our body, make us think strategies to play, always run, that always make us sweaty, means like we do some physical exercise every time we played. Then what we get? Health, fun, friends, happiness, unforgettable moments. We had lots of child’s songs. We have our own world that make us feel and just be a child at that time. With that kind of activities, it stimulate our growth when child. Child needs to move a lots, with that kind of play will make them grow up very well.

Compare with kids now, what they play? They plays some video game, play station, online games, internet, or something like that. when they plays, they never move even a bit. They just sit and hold that game device and only move their 10 fingers. Can be healthy to play like that?? no. I know play that games will make kids think a lot, and can arrange the strategies to finish and win that games. But, remember, kids need to move. Move and stimulate their growth. They need to move and be happy. That’s the point. Are they had child’s songs? Not as much 90’s generation songs hahaha. But yes it is. At least in Indonesia. No songs for kids now, poor them. Feels like kids are robots. Hmmm... I don’t know.

So, what do you think? Let your kids grow up well or not? Let your kids had very good childhood or let them enjoy their device? Up to you… It just hmmmm I don’t want kids have bad childhood, because it will affect them when they become adults.

Let’s make a good atmosphere for kids, for them, for them who will lead and take care this world.

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
