Cooking and Baking Skills Unlocked

First trial banana bread baked in the rice cooker. The picture was taken at 4 PM Bali times, golden hour when sunlight passing through my window and curtain.  
During 2020 I cook and bake a lot more than I did in the previous year. A lot of people told me that I can't cook. But I know that is not right. I just had no willingness to cook. When I moved to Bali, I started to miss the familiar foods in Java. My comfort foods. Although I eat everything Balinese cuisine was not that good for me the first time I tried it. It did not really satisfy my taste buds. But I realize it was just because I ate a not tasty Balinese food back then. Told ya first impression is important for me. Now I love it.
So I start to cook a lot more at home because I can't find tasty Javanese foods here. Yes, you can, but you need the journey to find the best one. It's a fun journey where you need to try a lot of things and decide which one is matching your palate.

An Overthinker

Sanur

For the last 29 years, I live as an overthinker. I always talk to myself, having my wild imaginations about everything, having so many conversations in my mind, making myself a stronger person, or even a vulnerable person in my imaginations. If I can write it down myself, all of them can be some crazy movies. Unfortunately, it's just too wild to tell.

When something small came to me, either a problem or a blessing, I always have a wilder version of that. That what keeps my mind busy, many times tired. 

These wild imaginations sometimes create assumptions and what-ifs. The older I get the more I learn not randomly tell other people about that. My assumptions can influence other people's points of view about something or someone. If my assumptions are right then it's fine. But when it is not right, it can hurt someone. I know how painful it can be. Probably destroy something that shouldn't be destroyed. You never know how words can hurt someone that much. 

I learn to keep it myself. This is why we need to speak up about the facts, not assumptions. 

I survived another year today, yay.

Cheers, 29!

[Piknik] Prambanan lagi

Salah satu pesona Jawa Tengah adalah Candi Prambanan. Saya sudah 3 kali berkunjung ke situs warisan dunia ini. Candi yang terletak di perbatasan Jawa Tengah dan jogja ini selalu menimbulkan kesan mistis bagi saya. Terletak tak jauh dari jalan raya, sehingga mengunjunginya pun sangat mudah. Berbeda dengan Candi Borobudur yang letaknya sangat jauh dari jalan raya besar. 
Ok, menurut saya ada 3 cara menuju candi ini. Menggunakan bus transjogja, taksi, dan kendaraan pribadi. Bagi yang menggunakan transjogja, saya pernah menggunakannya berangkat dari daerah kampus UNY, daerah Depok Sleman. 1 kali transit, 2 kali berganti bus. Dengan harga transjogja yang kala itu, 2014, seharga 3500 rupiah. Tapi sampai saat ini masih sama harganya, menurut info dari teman. Lokasi shelter bis berada agak jauh dari pintu masuk lokasi candi, mungkin kira-kira 500meter sampai 1kilometer. Kalau jalan, menghabiskan waktu sekitar 15-20menit. Bisa juga naik becak untuk opsi yang lain. Lagi-lagi, jangan lupa menaw…

[Book] Dunia Cecilia

'apakah kalian membicarakan hal semacam itu di surga?' 'tapi kami berusaha tidak membicarakannya dekat-dekat Tuhan. ia sangat sensitif terhadap kritik'
Yap, sepenggal dialog antara Cecilia dan malaikat Ariel. Saya mengenal Jostein Gaarder sejak kuliah. Ehhhh 'mengenal' dalam artian kenal bukunya ya, kalo bisa kenal pribadi mah bisa seneng jingkrak-jingkrak hehehe. Jadi karena teman saya mendapat tugas kuliah membaca satu novel filsafat berjudul Dunia Sophie, saya jadi sedikit mengetahui si bapak Gaarder ini. Enak ya tugasnya anak sastra baca novel, tugas anak matematika ya baca sih, tapi pembuktian kalkulus -_-



Dunia Cecilia ini buku pertama Jostein Gaarder yang saya baca, karena buku Dunia Shopie sangatlah berat berdasar review teman saya. Saya sih nggak perlu baca buku itu karena teman saya sudah benar-benar mahir bercerita. Jadilah saya sudah paham bener cerita Dunia Sophie tanpa membacanya.

Novel ini atas rekomendasi teman saya, dia bilang kalau novel ini ri…

Pake Jenius

Beberapa waktu lalu sering liat counter Jenius di Matos, yang lalu kutemui pula di MOG. Anak Malang tau lah dua mall ini. Nah udah cari info sana sini ya, kok kayaknya asik gitu. Jadi memberanikan diri untuk sign up. Apakah perlu kujelaskan fitur dan fungsinya secara mendetail? Karena sudah banyak tercecer informasinya di internet. Nggak ah, gw mau bahas pengalaman gw pake kartu ini selama sebulan ini.

Sign up lah aku di counter MOG (ya gusti kejebak lagi gw pake nambah kartu-kartuan begini). Kemudian, berkatalah mbaknya "Transfer aja mbak satu juta kesini, kita lagi ada promo kalau transaksi pertama kali satu juta akan ada free kartu member starbucks dengan saldo 50ribu. Lumayan lho mbak Starbucks". Gw nggak fanatik Sbucks (cuma kalo harus beli Chai tea selalu kesini). Dan tanpa sadar pun gw transfer sejuta ke akun jenius gw. Because, why not? Lagian juga mindah duit gw sendiri ke rekening yang lain kan? Nggak ilang duit juga.

Jadilah kudapat kartu Jenius beserta k…
