BALIIII

The ticket has just been bought, and I'm ready to fly to Bali though I'm pretty much sad to leave my boyfriend again here in Jakarta :(

List of my TOP 5 resto(s) I definitely should be going to as soon as I arrived there:

1. Warung Italia

Terkenal dengan makanan khas Italia yg harganya sangat ramah di kantong. Recommended food di restoran ini ada Crespelle (Italian Crepes) 18k. Crespelle ini adalah lapisan-lapisan crepes yg diisi dengan jamur, daging ayam, bunga kol, dengan saus putih yg sangat gurih.

2. Naughty Nuri's

Terkenal dengan Ribs Babi BESAR dan super ENAKKKK dengan harga sangat murah (70 ribuan). Di Jakarta mau nyari ke ujung dunia mana juga kayaknya belum ada yg semurah ini.

3. Nasi Pedas Ibu Andhika

Nasi pedas Ibu Andhika walaupun cuma terletak di pinggir jalan ga kalah sama makanan-makanan lainnya. Yg terkenal dari warung nasi pedas Ibu Andhika ini adalah Kulit Ayam super crunchy dengan sambel pedas nya yg bikin ketagihan. Harga makanannya jg murah, tp porsi nya bikin kenyang.

4. Seafood Resto at Jimbaran

Di Jimbaran sebenernya ada banyak bgt restoran seafood nya. Berderet deh pokoknya. Terserah kita mau pilih yg mana.
Tapi gw punya rekomendasi di MENEGA CAFE. Restoran beach-side ini nyaris ga pernah sepi pengunjung saking enak dan murahnya. Di kafe ini sistem nya kaya seafood resto lainnya, kita mau makan misalnya kepiting, udang, cumi-cumi atau apapun dengan ditimbang dulu mau 1/2 kilo, 2kg atau lebih. Kita jg bisa pilih seafood yg sudah kita pesan mau dimasak dengan bumbu apa (ex: cumi goreng mentega, ikan bakar, dll). Harganya jg relatif murah dibanding dengan resto seafood di Jakarta.

5. Resto(s) at my apartment's beachside

Apartment gw, Jayakarta residence, terletak di Jl. Padma. Apartment gw ini letaknya strategis bgt dengan view pantai. Nah, di pinggiran pantai inilah ada banyak cafe yg bisa jg dijadiin pilihan kl perut laper. Rekomendasi gw ada Zanzi Bar.

Intinya, hidup di Bali itu enak bgt! Banyak jenis makanan, dan hampir semua nya HARGANYA MURAH. Ditambah lagi orang-orangnya ramah jg, kurang apa coba? Hehe..

The August Ladies

Went lunch at Sushi Tei PI with the team and here are some of the pics:

Whoa, I've been abandoning this blog for too long (8-ish months). Gotta discipline myself to write like continuously from now on.

Okay...

Time flew like uber fast that I already started 5th semester today. What made today really exciting is PR 12-1c (which is my class) got Pak Silih again as one of the lecturers, and also Mrs. Renata; She once taught me on the first year of college. Yet, I'm feeling excited for tomorrow too.

Speaking about tomorrow... Tomorrow is Wednesday and everyone got to go home earlier on Wednesdays during this semester *DOUBLE YAY-ness :D
Also, tomorrow some of my friends and I are going to go to Grand Indonesia to celebrate Indah and Lydia's birthday which actually has already passed like weeks ago LOL, and probably catch a movie afterwards.

Well, let's just see what else tomorrow will offer.

CIAO

xo.

New Year

Sebenernya menulis itu menyenangkan, tapi I don't know why I sometimes feel very lazy to do such thing. Okay, what am I going to write?

Hey, it's January already... Happy new year people (though it's a little bit late)... What's your new year resolution? Err, I myself actually don't have any resolution, 'cause I know that it won't last throughout the year LOL.

Hmm... January means that February is only a month away. It's getting nearer yo buddy! You must have been wondering what's with me and February.
..... I'm going to go to Bali for vacation with around 20 friends, after a long hard final exam week. Nah, that's what makes me really excited. YEAY!!

BUT, there's also one thing that keeps me very sad at the same time, 'cause going to Bali means leaving my boyfriend alone here in Jakarta. I actually don't wanna leave him, but what can I do? The ticket has been bought from about 9 months agi. The trip has been very well planned and I don't wanna disappoint my friends for not going. This is from the very bottom of my heart: "I'm really sorry that I have to go, but I'm not gonna leave you very long. It's only a week and I'll be right back".

I LOVE CHRISTIAN WAHYUDI SO MUCH!! HAPPY NEW YEAR AGAIN :)

Crossed Fingers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To cross one's fingers is a hand gesture used to superstitiously wish for good luck or to nullify a promise. The supposed loophole of crossing one's fingers whilst making a promise is usually exploited by school-aged children.

Crossing one's fingers, by curling the middle finger over the index, is thought to bring good luck. This dates back to when crossed fingers were used as a gesture to ward off witches and others considered to be or possess evil spirits. It is also seen as bad luck to cross your fingers on both hands.

Some believe that the gesture originates from pre-Christian times and, in many early European cultures, two people were required to use their index fingers to form the sign, one to make a wish and the other to support it. It was believed that the cross was a symbol of unity and that benign spirits dwelt at its intersecting point—to wish on a cross was a figurative way of securing the wish at the intersection until it came true. Over the years, the custom was modified so one person could make a wish on his/her own.

The 'crossed fingers' gesture is used for the logo of the United Kingdom's National Lottery, as well as the Oregon Lottery and Virginia Lottery in the United States.

Crossed fingers behind the back can also be used when making a promise or a claim to indicate that you are lying. This has been used in television and movies to clue in the viewers while keeping other characters in the dark.

In some countries, other gestures symbolize the wish for luck, e.g. in Germany "pressing thumbs" means to wish somebody luck.

New Year's Eve

My friends have already told me of the new year's eve plan from like a week ago. I have also asked my parents whether I can go out or not, and they said okay. Well, hopefully they're not gonna change their mind...

*Fingers crossed*

Liburan Bersama Sushi

Bisa dibilang gw itu kecanduan sushi, karena tiap minggu itu paling sedikit 4 kali pasti gw makan sushi.

Restoran sushi favorite gw udah pasti Sushi Tei. Walaupun beberepa temen Jepang gw blg kl Sushi Tei ga enak, buat gw Sushi Tei tetep the best.


My recommended menu:

1. Crispy Roll - Crispy Sushi with unagi
2. Tuna Salad Crispy Mentai - Sushi roll with chopped tuna and salmon
3. Sashimi Salad - Salad with salmon/ tuna topping with 3 varieties of dressing
4. Fried Salmon Skin - Dari namanya kita udh pasti tau kl ini kulit salmon yg digoreng. CRUCNHY!

Setiap gw ke Sushi Tei, 4 menu di atas itu nggak akan pernah ketinggalan :p
