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

Prisca Wedding

Don't get me wrong, it's not my wedding. I am not married YET. And please don't ask me 'WHEN'. That is the most annoying question ever!

So this is Prisca wedding, another Prisca I've known. She is partly Bondowoso and Lombok, while her husband is originally from Lombok. Their wedding has been held in Lombok. Months ago Prisca said that no friends of her will come on her wedding since it is far from Java and need a lot of money to go there. She was personally asked me to come on her wedding, at least she can see one of her friend, one of someone she knows on her wedding. It was so touching and I said YES. I decided to come for two reason, her wedding, and holiday to Lombok. Good reasons right? tetiba miskin tabungan abis hhaha *becanda*


Our outfit at the wedding. Nggak sengaja samaan kayak seragam nikahannya


As you read on previous one, I flew to Lombok with Desi, another friend of us. She wants to come as well. So that is good, I am not going there alone.


We left hotel nearby hotel at 7 am. We went to the wedding place by travel car since it is too difficult to reach using public transportation, mengingat nggak ada taksi online maupun ojek online di Lombok. First we went to another Lombok friend, he was our class leader at college. Last time we met it was about 2 years ago. And he just got married a week ago. He and his wife finally live peacefully in his house that has been built by himself. Keren.

Aan and his wife. She is so cute 

Then we came to the wedding place at 9 am. Prisca said "HAVE TO BE THERE ON TIME". Dia paham kali ya kalo temennya ada yang hobi ngaret. Ok, not so ontime, but not so late either. We came together with the KUA person. Good.

There are drama between. The power outage happened for several times, even when that sacred thing happen. Ijab kabul maksudnya. I was so nervous, because I know what she did to finally be there in that place and being married witnessed by us. I know her struggle. So I was nervous as well. Finally, less than an hour, she is officially become Candra's wife. And I dont need to write another drama. 


They were so nervous

She looks so happy and her face look so glowing. Me and Desi talking about how different her face look like after being a wife. It is so different. But I can see she is so happy to be a wife now. But... although she is happy to be a wife, her face expression for my candid photo never looks so good. Maksudnya mukanya dia yang kejepret candid slalu ekspresi yang nggak bener dan nggak layak posting aja.

Sorry, a bit blurry. Nggak siap gara gara nggak tau kalo mereka udah masuk

Harusnya sih romantis, eh dia merem 




The wedding ceremony ended at 1 pm, and we all together going back home. I went with them to Candra house because we will stay there for a night.

Karena hasil jepretan fotografernya nggak muasin aku, kita wajib selfi sama newlywed ini

Dan emang kayaknya dia ga bisa diajak foto bagusan dikit

Everyone always feel happy when people around us are getting married. We all wish them all good wishes for those newlywed. HJ and his dad congratulate them and sent them some good wishes even though they never know her personally. But I often told them about this Prisca and another Prisca, mengingat kita itu beken dimana-mana sekarang. 

Prisca juga bilang ke kita 'kalian nggak mau doain kita punya anak kembar kah?', ya kalo mereka mau punya sih kita tinggal doain aja. Hal paling gampang yang bisa kita lakukan kan mendoakan dengan tulus. 

Anyway, Happy wedding another Prisca and Candra. Wish you both have happy life together ever after, sincerely 😘😘

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
