Hubby going on a BT

Yesterday, hubby's business trip was confirmed. When he first told me that he might going on a business trip for a couple of days (his boss was so nice, telling him to discuss with me first), me being a noble-wife-of-the-year told him boldly "Go, I can handle the fort. No problemo" A minute later after I thought about it, I felt so stupid. I should have played the guilty card. So he would compell to bribe me in order to let him go. I mean, even though granted it is a business trip, a trip is still a trip and he is still leaving me, poor wifey slaving at home.

So I played the guilty card while preparing "the list". You know what-can-hubby-buy-to-make-wife-at-home-happy kind of list. Turns out the business trip is so short! He partically have no time to shop beside after office hour (whaaat?!! Don't you know how long my list is? ***tearing and stomping the list angrily***)

As his departure was drawing close second by second *dramatic* i started to regret my decision to let him go *me and my big mouth* What if baby fussy during the night and i don't have enough energy to handle him? Am i biting more than I can chew?

But it's all too late now. He is flying and nothing i can do but to pray for his safety and everything to be okay at home while he is probably shouting on the top of his lungs "Xiang Kang wo lai le...!!!!" during touchdown.

Invitation to all the girls

Paling sering denger komentar "loh kok pake kaos sih, emangnya sekarang hari Jumat?" atau "loh rapi banget loe, mo kondangan yah?"
I hate, I repeat, hate those comments.

First, it's not always a shirt sometimes it's a knitwear or a blouse. It's different people!
Second, well, these are the asumptions
- I buy the clothes because I think the clothes look cute
- It is very hard to find a cute basic t-shirt. It's a t-shirt what d yaa expect? Yes, I admit, there tons of cute fashionable shirt, but the cost is a fortune. Since I'm not a director, the dress will waaay overdress for me.
- I spend most of my time in the office. I go there 5 days in a week.

So, when am I supposed to wear all of my clothes? On the weekend? Oh please, give me a break! Weekend has only 2 days and life's too short to have to wear something you don't really like just because you have to.

Women are the numero uno target for the fashion industry. If women only wear t-shirt to the office which is more than 70% of our time, the fashion industry will collaps within seconds and that would be the ultimate armageddon.

No, no, I'm not gonna stop here.
For guys who get jealous because women have the luxury to have wider choice of clothes, I suggest you to let it go!
Tanpa mengurangi rasa hormat dan tidak bermaksud untuk diskriminasi, but Double standard is still common here, so, unless you guys can pull David Beckham, please stick to your t-shirt :P.

The most important thing is what I wear doesn't affect my jobs in a negative way. In fact, they give me positive boost. I'm happy when I wear something I like and when I'm happy I tend to be more productive.
So, unless the girl wears 'kaos oblong bali' or 'kaos encek2 yang lagi cah/goreng kwetiaw' I don't really see a problem here.

Let's campaign for Office Fashion Freedom!

Food and Me

I'm never consider my self as a food picky person, but I do have some of Blacklisted Foods, such as:
- Food with dominant scent: cilantro, fried onion, taugeh (bean sprout), celery, spring onion, bell pepper. Ughh...
- Smelly foods: goat, intenstines (except chicken and paru goreng oke la) and durian.
- Gross thingy: insects, reptiles (i dont eat snake), codot, bat. Yuuuckkss....
- Cute animals: rabbit, birds (exc chicken)
- Not supposed to be eaten animals: cat, horse, dog, deer, turtle, tiger

And yes, I do have somekind of 'rules' of my own about food. First one is I consider a food is different if and only if has different smell, material, cooking method and taste.
So, if you cook vegie cah with garlic, no matter even though you change the vegie (from kailan to caisim to broccoli) for me it's the same food. and the same food bikin gw BOSEN!

Second one is I really hate I repeat HATE it when people add food with dominant scent into my food, because it will make my food smell like the added food and lost its original smell.
Okay for example is if you fried noodle/kwetiaw/bee hoon/vermicelli/mee shua with bean sprout, for me the food doesn't smell like fried noodle anymore. But it smells like TAUGEH GORENG!!!! Yucks! That's why taugeh is one of my blacklisted food.

Not to mention what if all the strong scent food is the main dish, e.g: spring onion or celery cah.. alamaaaaakkkkkkkkkk......... pengsan dah gw....

Ehm... quite a long list eh? but in my defense I eat mostly anything else outside the black list. I eat chicken, seafood, beef, pork, unagi, most of the vegie, I even eat snails once!
I don't have to eat rice, I can live from bread, noodle and it friends
I eat many cuisines from Peranakan, Java, Chinese, Sunda, Betawi, Italian, Japanese, Western, Padang, Menado, Junk Food, and Thai. I eat all of them. I just need them to be rotated. Please? Pretty please with sugar on coat....???

Theory of Taste Evolution

A month in here, and I'm busy bitching about the food to my fiance almost everyday (If he's lucky, some of my best friends go online, and I can do this never-ending babbling to them instead of him).
I think, I've reached his limit cause he's starting to babbling back to me hahaha...
He said that I am 'susah makannya' because I bored easily. He also said that he can eat the food that we are eating over over and over again.
Since I don't like to loss an argument over him and I have nothing to do now, so I think I'm gonna make my day as productive as anyone else's by creating this theory.

This theory uses me as a main and only sample. Narcissism, but so what. Old news. I'm gonna do a little survey latter though .

My profile (related with food)
- born in central java by Peranakan Mother and Chinese Father. That's mean Java, Peranakan, Chinese Food.
- went to high school in Bogor and spend more than 10 years in Jakarta. . That's mean Sunda Food, Japanese Food, Italian Food, Padang Food, Junk Food, Betawi Food, Western Food and Thai Food.

Okay, you never truly appreciate what you have until it's gone.
When I lived at bogor, for the first time I developed craving for Peranakan, Java and Chinese Food and when I got back I missed the Sunda, Italian, Japanese Food. Same thing happened after I moved to Jakarta.

See, my taste of food evolves without me realizing it! and now after 13 years it's like a swiss biological clock. I need and must to rotate the food!

So, the First theorem of my theory is
"A person (in this case is someone who enjoy food not just eat-to-live person like you know who) whose surrounded by more than one type of cuisine, tends to rotate the food/eat different type of food (tanpa sadar udah kebiasaan gituuuuuuuh!) alias BOSENAN".

Gimana ...gimanah anak kost lainnya... tul ga? tul ga??...hohohoho

Therefore dear fiance, yes maybe I blacklisted some foods (explain later in the next article) but the main reason why I'm being crankier and grumpier here it's because my body needs time to adjust to eat one type of cuisine everyday! (and sometimes even the same dish for almost two weeks in a row :(( ).
But I don't think I want to adjust my body. Since it's gonna be so sad living only eating one type of cuisine every single day...

My life is meaningless

It's been almost a week and I have nothing to do in the office except for chatting, and chatting, and chatting and oh yeah chatting again. Most of the clients are on leave, most of my friends are going home for Christmas and New Year and My fiancee is busy applying (spamming to be exact) jobs. No new movie series.
No new chapter of Naruto. I think Kakashi is confirmed dead btw. Very sad.

No friends online means no new gossip. What's life without gossip? So empty and meaningless. No aim and purposes....

Hu..hu...hu....

Ngecess.........

Sekarang lagi ngeces ama:

- Indomie Goreng trus diatasnya ditaburin keju parut... wuaaaaaah slurrrrrrrrpsss glegggghh...
- Nasi padang: Ayam goreng + Nasi + daun ganja upss i mean singkong + kuah kari + suambel merah dan tomat .... tes tes tes air liur diatas meja....
- Bawal Salero: Bawal digoreng trus dibakar + nasi + cabe rawit dipotong2 dikasih air jeruk ditambahin bawang hmppppppph huah huah pedessssssssssssssss tapi zeledapsssss...

Huhuhuhu
Kapan ya bisa makan gitu lagi.....

Aku menangis meraung-raung........

Gossip Girl

FYI: Nope, I am not I repeat am not talking about me! Me != gossip girl okay.

I love watching movie, especially sitcom or television series. No I am not talking about sinetron or telenovela or soap opera. I'm talking about friends, desperate housewives, grey's anatomy, ally mcbeal, supernatural, smallville, heroes and of course 24!

Currently I'm only following 1 local series 'The Little Nyonya' aired from Mon -Fri at 9 PM on channel 8 and Gossip Girl. I know it's kinda late to follow a gossip girl just now, but since all the production are stopped during chrismast holiday, there is no movie I can watch :(
What will I do without my movies........huhuhuhu...

My fiance keeps asking the same question "Apa sih bagusnya?" "Yaela gossip girl lagi" hahaha
The answer is simple I have no other movie I can watch and Chace Crawford is hot.

The reason why I watch The Little Nyonya even though there is no hot guy in there, it's because of the peranakan story. You know peranakan = delicious food = 'masak-masakan' movie and I love anything related masak-masakan. So 'klop' deh

Well, for you all television series lovers, the television series I mentioned above will be back on January 2009 and Mr. Bauer will start kicking ass on January also.

See you soon Jack!

Korean Food in Singapore is delicious!

One of my friend told me once, that Korean food in Singapore is delicious...
She used to have it and she missed it when she back in Malaysia (yup, you know who she is now :P)
Encouraged with her advice and since she and I share similar taste in food (I guess Kwetiaw Pontianak is an exception) plus the picture looks so yummy, I bought Korean Ramen at Hougang Mall as my dinner last week

When the ramen came, I was a bit curious. Ngg... It didn't looks like the usual ramen I used to eat at Ajisen or Kinotaki.. but well both are Japanese, so, me, a Korean Food newbie didn't think it much.

After I got back to our table, I told my boyfriend about my curiosity. He looked at it at glance, took a sip from a hot-boiling-ramen soup and confirming me, "Yep, it is an instant korean noodle"

Glegar..... it's a 4 SGD food and I got an instant noodle? Geh!
Anyway, since I missed the Indonesian food soooo much and the noodle tasted like Indomie, so I ate it happily.

So, yeah.. in short, the 'Korean Food' in Singapore is delicious.
Still trying to eat the real one though....

Things that I never thought I would miss

Yes, I know it has been forever since I create a new post here.
Well, in my defense, my life has been very hectic in the last few days.
I jump from one client to another every two days, trying not to get lost. My boyfriend said i can not read map. I have to 'get in' the map like Joey in order to read the map correctly. And at night I still busy looking for cheap-nice-new-fully furnished-near mrt and food hall HDB to rent.
Until now, still haven't found it. So, if any of you got one, please please please pretty-please-with-sugar-on-coat let me know.

It's only been two weeks now, so I'm still at adjusting phase. Especially for the food. I knew that I would miss Indonesian food, but to be honest I never thought I would miss the rice too. OMG. I thought okay, singapore is an advanced country, the food material will be great. I dont know how they did it, but I ate a lot of I repeat a lot of weird smell rice. :( I love rice. For me, even an ordinary side dish will taste great if accompanied with a bowl of warm nice rice.

Number two is MILO.
MILO is my favourite milk brand. In here, the milo is tasteless.

Number three is skinless bread

And to complete the list, I miss all of my 'sarapan food'
- bubur lemot
- ropang boplo
- indomie abang cekatan
- mie yono
- mie ayam boplo

huhuhu......

that's me, the girl who now eats plain porridge and preserved lettuce as breakfast on daily basis, crying.....

My Precious

Duuuuuuh.....
After a long and seems never ending packing, last night me and my fiance 'gotongan' my as-heavy-as-killer-whale-baby boxes.

O oh....... I remember!
My preciousssssssss.................ssss....sssss...

New habit

I love reading. I really do. My parents told me once that I started to open a magazine (even though it was upside down) when I was 2 years old only.
I read what ever, but as I grow older I tend to focus my reading in stories like novel, history, fiction, mythology etc etc. Hehehe...

But lately, thanks to the global crisis, I have to set my sauron-eyes to read daily currency rate at detik.com. So, in short, from couple days ago I was officially a detik.com and kompas.com reader on daily basis.

I don't know if this just a random coincidence, but there are so many interesting stories happen. Usually they just posted 'traffic jam news, flood news, and other not-eye-catching news.
But now... hmmm.....interesting
Well..well well....
Gonna post what I thought as interesting news later folks.

Backbreaker....

These last few days were very backbreaking for me..
Simultaneous meeting combined with packing all my sentimental-useless-crap of stuff really wore me out.
Huah....
Looking forward for the days where all I need to do are daily chores and watching movies...

Somehow he's able to...

Duuuuuh maaaak....
Within the short distance between my office and IDX building, the taxi driver somehow was able to make me dizzy.
Huekkkkssss....
Feel nauseous...
