• 1/4 esens kopi (boleh ditiadakan klo ngak punya, soalnya gua gak pake)
• 50 g butter cream
• keju parut secukupnya

Cara Membuat:

1. Kocok telur dan gula sampe mengembang (pake mixer yg kecepetannya sedeng ya - jgn cepet, ntr kuenya kasar, jadi kira2 20 menit deh)

They're people

There's no difference between you and them.
They're good people.
Just because they are different and don't have the same opinions from you,
doesn't mean you're any better than them.
I just dont understand why you wont let me play with them.
What makes you hate them?
They're just people,
They're my friends.

Lantern Festival Report Special - Batavia Bintulu

This is our little food stall called Batavia-Bintulu. Like I've said before, this stall was on for 3 days and we sold mainly satays. Hm.... a lot of Kiwis came and I think our stall was quite popular. We made some profit too - so that's always good. A little bit about the lantern festival, it's always held in Albert Park near the University and they have nice lantern where they hang in the park. Food stalls are always everywhere, and we were one of them. Hm.. we had a couple of other friends also come to help us, so it was a big bunch of people in a small tent - working hard and working well with each other. And thanks to all of them, the stall was always taken care of when it was busy. Thanks a lot guys!! Hm.. here are some pics - Enjoy!

This is our humble stall

Inside the stall - see how packed and smokey it was

Lanterns

Ellys preparing fish balls - sigh the mess hueheuehue

Evie and Aaron posing

HOT UFF!!! this lady came and asked "what does uff mean?" lol - really it was "HOT STUFF"

We're a satay griller factory

Everybody working hard to serve many of our returning customer

Busy Busy - working like a bee

About Job Hunting and the work force

Hm.. as y'all know i've recently graduated, it's somewhat exhilirating and menyeramkan at the same time. Soalnya, now i'm so free and joining the work force is just one of those commitments that you have to hold. Like, if ur still in uni (or if ur especially like me) you can always wag a class or two and u can always catch up. Or never come to class and as long as u catch up ur still okay. Well with working, you can't wag it nor skip a day or two the way I normally would with my university life. LoL. -.-;

But thinking about the money, it makes you want to work more - cuz that's the point of working. I can buy the things that I never thought you could afford before. *kyaaaa, my mind's already spinning on wat i'll shop for - but i think it'll mostly be clothes* Just imagining it, my life would be so different, I mean I'm not a student anymore! - I'd never have to stock up on T-shirts, cuz I wont be needing them. I'd never have to stock up on sneakers, cuz I wont be wearing them. I'll proli stock up on high heals, nice feminine clothes, decent dresses. ah.. i'm going green eyed already!

I've applied for a couple of jobs, I got 3 interviews, i got respond from 2 saying that I've been rejected. Blahed. Oh well, I guess it's probably not for me. Still looking for a job now. Wish me luck ya!

Culinary Adventure in Singapore -(Wisata Boga di Singapur)

Fish Taiyaki

More bread

Gelato of many weird flavors ranging from panna cota to black sesame seeds

Cakes Galore

Prawn noodles - super spicy and super hot! (in Bedok food arena)

More Bedok Shops -> Pig Organ Soup Shop (T.T) - not my kind of food..

Young Chaw Tofu (err..derno how to spell it) - gyah, i haven't seen so many fresh vegies in such a long time! Although I didn't end up eating it, but i thought it was colourful.

Hey y'all, apologies for the late update. I've just been extremely busy after my arrival back in Auckland. Well, me and a couple of friends decided to set up a food stall which was held in the Lantern Festival. It was an Indonesian and Malaysian food stall so we sold food like chicken, lamb and beef satay, popiah, fried mantao eaten with condensed milk, chargrilled corn and roti canai. It was sooo busy, and hectic - I didn't have time to update. So again, apologies yah! right now i'm free so I can update as much as I can.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the food that I tried while I was in Singapore. Seriously, through my holiday, I just realised that Asians eat or Snack so much! There were like so many different kinds, like bread, cakes, and also I think singaporeans are crazy about Japanese food! everywhere I go there are like Japanese food and Japanese styled everything around. Hm.. I bet Taiwan is like Singapore as well. Hmm.. one of the craziest is that this food stall that I went to in Bedok. They sell Pig Organ Soup! *Furk*, neva seen such thing before - and i think they were quite busy. Hm.. they surely know how to recycle and use every piece of food resources to the max. I didn't dare to try - it freaked me out. Oh, I also had heaps of sugar cane juice. Enakkk makk nyakk.. huehue.

Basically, I enjoyed going to Singapore a lot, may be because I went as a tourist so I had heaps of money to spend. I bought 8 pairs of shoes from far east. some nice little cardigan - and several bags. But most of my money went to food - *sigh, like you wouldn't guess otherwise..lol*. Hmm.. it's really lively - unlike New Zealand (T.T). Pokoke, I really like it there - I wish to one day move there. I also went to the Biopolis - with my own efforts, *not the uncle's* by MRT. Not too far away and was really easy to get there yay! Hm.. after a week we went home to Jakarta.. tanah airkuww
