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
I signed up for Disney+ and just realized that I got a month free. I say, let see if I am gonna like it. I saw that Mary Poppins Returns is there. It was a very unique movie I'd say. But for me, it's more than that. I shared a moment with my grandma and my two sisters.
Probably the end of 2018 or earlier 2019, we watched Mary Poppins Returns. It was my grandma, my two sisters and me. I did not know what’s Marry Poppins until my sister told me.
"Alright let's give it a shot then."
My sisters came to Malang and stayed for the holiday. It was for a week or two. My sister had her college holiday before the exam, I believe. She said, “I want to watch a movie in the cinema. Wish me luck and get paid soon so I can take you all to the cinema.” She was the assistant professor at her university. Later that evening she got her paycheck (paycheck paid every a few months or so).
So we went to the cinema the next day, in the evening. It was raining, so damn hard that I even heard some bang. Maybe, the cinema was on the top floor.
I told her to go to Sarinah, nearby Alun-Alun Malang because it cost only 25K/ticket. The cheapest one in Malang. It was the second time to watch a movie in the cinema with my little sister. The first one was Coco and we cried in the cinema. It was that good.
But it was, I don’t know, it must be the last time for my grandma after a long time. She bragged about how often she spent time in the cinema next door back then and that she missed watching the movies in the cinema. Our old house was just a few steps to the cinema in town. But that cinema was demolished and turned into a clothing store.
Bought some popcorn, definitely enjoyed the movie. The way my grandma talked about the movie was so fascinating. They "reviewed" the movie on our way back home. She told everyone that her grand-daughter bought her ticket to the cinema and she really enjoyed it. She would brag it for a week or two.
Yes, it was her last time to watch a movie in the cinema. 5 months after that, she left us. It's pretty ironic as that was my first time watching a movie in the cinema with her, but it was the last time for her to watch a movie in the cinema.
I miss her. It's been a while I haven't write about her. I just miss her. The last time I visited her grave was the day she died. I am afraid I won't be able to joke around when I visit her. Damn, that happened when I visited my grandpa, a day before I got married. I couldn't say anything but cried as if he just left us the day before. The pain is still there. I guess I am just afraid to cry out loud.
Well, both of them now sleeping next to each other so I guess... I am pretty happy they're together 💚
