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

Happy New Year 2018!



 

Happy New Year 2018 everybody!

Kinda late huh? I just got back from seeing my husband, so like usual… I stopped all of my activities when I am with my husband. Either blogging or responding messages on my social media (but I don’t stop on Instagraming hehe). That is the way I respect and appreciate my time together with my husband. 

So… everybody has made their 2018’s resolutions?

I am here to make my own list for 2018. About what I want to do in 2018 :

Be healthier, smarter, sexier, happier. It’s like in one package lol
Read 2 books every month. I hope I can make it. I really hope in a year I can read at least 24 books. I put this reading challenge on goodreads. I hope it helps. (I am now reading 1984 by George Orwell, already 1/3 of the book).
Doing sport. I extremely lazy for doing sport so I hope I can make it and doing this.
Write more good stuff. 2 years ago I wanted to write as much as I can. About the quantity, now I want more about quality. I hope so
Be able to speak another language. So far… I learn Dutch but but but yea still so basic. So I hope I can make it this year, to be able to speak this language with my parents in law. This is also part of fixing my silly English.
Blog-walking more. I feel so bad that when I can’t visit other people’s blogs 😩 I promised will do it more now.
Reduce my addiction to internet (or social media). I am not social media junkie but I think I want to reduce the usage of it. I see no point of having so many applications for chatting only for some specific people, like Line only 2-3 people, BBM only for 4 people (I delete my BBM already, it was used for work). I think everybody on Whatsapp now. So this is my main messenger now. But I will not reduce my internet usage for blogging and watching series. I also considered to delete my Facebook. I need internet just to make sure he is safe and ok, I feel like I am less stress when I am not connected to social media.
Earn my own money again. I think it’s enough to be jobless for almost a year now. So it’s time to earn money again for myself and future.
Do something new and challenging. About this, I prefer not to write in detail haha!
Don't give a shit anymore! This is also I prefer not to write in detail 😌
Live together with my husband and build a family. I am not sure when I will be able to live together with him, so I just want to put this on 2018 wish-list. Even if this is not gonna happen in 2018, then let it be a wish-list for 2019 and another year in future. 

2018, Please be my year 💗

So I think that’s all. I will always add more if I want too 😄

Happy new year!

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
