Christmas 2011 :)

this blog is filled with dust. as the owner is so busy or is she? she's lazy.
It was christmas in another country. it has been like this for 2 years. no biggie. :) As usual, we had our own food festival. On christmas morning, we walked all around Bandung, more than 5 km, strolling at our own pace with extremely good weather. :) it was bliss. When we were back, all the cooking activities started. right after snoozing for a while or maybe longer. :P

Sweet potato balls * extremely easy to make*

Boil sweet potatoes till soft, smash them up add sugar and flour. roll them, and FRY! :)

kuih bakul in between 2 types of sweet potato, coated and FRY! yummeh!

Chi-kut teh

it was a small little christmas with chit chats and laughter. ROAR~

in memories :)

'everything does not last forever'
01-08-2011 at around 2 am. grandma went to a much better place.
the grief and sadness i feel now can't be compared to what my dad feels. putting myself in his shoes feels like knives stabbing my whole body.
"i won't see her anymore" keeps running through my mind. no more trying hard to speak broken hokkien. no more helping ah ma walk through a crowded mcd, to the next house, to places. no more hearing ah ma talk about everybody enthusiastically (although i don't understand most of it). no more pushing away angpow full of money and saying 'mien lah' (no need). no more no more no more seeing her.
i take comfort in the fact that she is in a much better place now. no suffering. she lived her life cycle. take care :) <3

konapun!

konapun! konapun! *say it while shouting*. sounds like a bad word? haha

i'm officially presenting a cute product from Japan. I guess i'm outdated as they already discontinued the production of this product. Well, its like your very own minature cooking kitchen and you get to cook something that looks incredible, no eating it of course.

I saw their videos on youtube. There are so many videos on konapun, there is one about making sushi or cookies and many more. check it out .:)

The amazing thing about this toy kitchen , is the food really looks like its cooking. the sizzling of food in oil, the expanding pizza or cookie dough. These small little details makes the product extra special

the product circles around 'mixing powder with water'. The final product looks as good or even better than edible food. check out their videos. :)

Pot Making :)

ever made a pot before? it seems there's a tradition, where if a pottery maker can't make a pot with a fitting lid, they can't get a wife. hah! lucky i'm a girl. :D
so here goes, the pottery sifu, standing beside me, with awesome skills made me feel a bit intimidated. but i did it! my very own pot. no lid! i did my very own version of a pot, if you get what i mean. it was one of a kind :P the guy even said it could be sold.

they gave me a huge clownish pants to wear. haha!

the sifu :) As you can see there's a manual spinner where you have to keep kicking for the spinner to work.

the art piece. i would not have the patience. *salute*

mummy didn't get to snap my masterpiece. but oh well, just imagine it as something awesome!

El Shaddai Community Service

El Shaddai Creative Church had their free medical and dental treatment recently, at a secluded school somewhere in Lembang. and yours truly had the chance to borrow her energy.haha!
i got used to seeing dental treatments done on school chairs, sterilization of equipments using only alcohol, people of all types of problems crowding a small school. It wasn't a suprise, but the experience was different this time compared to being a "runner" in my batch community service or just checking the plaque index at a nearby school, i got to assist and watch. Assisting with the light( not qualified) BUT i had the best vip view ever. It was awesome. I would love to go again in 3 months time. thanks to Bel for the experience.
Sports day! Sports Day! It's here again. makes me wanna try out for some games. but I know my capability has never been the best. I can play most games, but being the best is a different story! :) Hope i get to find my forte soon.
p/s: i may look weak but i know whats happening :|

My First Snow Experience

Its snowing. Oh emm gee. my first experience. It feels like a dream. didn't imagine it to feel so soft. the weather when its snowing isn't that cold. Suprising. I always thought it would be extremely cold when it snows. but its not true. hah!

trying to make my very own snowman. but mine became 2D instead of 3D. *practice needed*

spot the meow2 at my feet. that was my pet. it followed me everywhere. starting to love having a cat follow me. hehe. :)

Cappadocia Hot Air Balloooooonn

who said someone with a fear of heights can't fly. :)

getting the balloon ready

the pilot : Mike Green

a cave house

the awesome view :)

It is really cold at the beginning and the end. shivering down to the bones.

During the flight, there's fire burning just above your head so the temperature will be just nice.

If you're lucky, and the wind behaves. You get to fly into the valleys at a really low height. Viewing everything.

Btw, the pilot said when its summer, there will be around 50 to 60 balloons in the air. crazey. when we were up, there was only 5 balloons i guess. but the view was awesome.

Never miss it if you head to Cappadocia. (Company : Butterfly Balloons)
