18th.. [16 days to go]

24 June, 2007

Nothing much was happening today, just a little bit of this and that. Fight with mom can be my regular issue when we’re together. So I should be fine. =)
I didn’t take any picture today. My battery went flat [huh, should’ve ask my dad to buy me a new digital camera].

So for today, I might just post pictures taken on Saturday, 23 June. I went out with my boyfriend a.k.a my dad for lunch. We went to a restaurant called “Din Tai Fung” which located right the opposite of Plaza Senayan. It’s the Arcadia.

This restaurant is huge and it’s so great. The lightning, the seats, the table, foremost, the FOOD. *slrrppp*. Btw here are all the pictures.

Yesterday, I went to Kelapa Gading with my little cousin and my mom. The target of the day: “80% sale for Surfer Girl”… excitement for a girl like me.

I bought a T-shirt to support Mr. Mike… “PIRACY IS FUN!” lol. And it’s blue...

* PIRACY IS FUN*

My mom insisted to eat something soupy and spicy. So we went to Vietnamese restaurant named “My Hanoi House”. There I managed to take a picture of the restaurant plus the waitresses. My mom ordered “Pho Bo” which in Sydney called as “Pho Hoa”
*Pho Bo a.k.a Pho Hoa*

Me and my cousin ordered two bowl of “Crab Sour and Spicy Soup”.

Went for swimming this morning at 0915. a little bit exhausted, since last night I slept at 0130. Fortunately the weather this morning was fabulous. Cloudy and windy, this is what I call “summer breeze”. =) I went for swimming at Sunlake Hotel with my cousins, Irene and Joshua. It’s not as packed as for weekend, so it’s a good thing. Plus, it will be awkward to swim in Indonesia with bikini. Since just a few people swimming today, I should be fine. Lol.

We finished at 1200, and then straight away back home. Took a shower, and then went to sleep. It’s a little bit cold, since it’s raining heavily. Nothing much to say.
Woke up and have early dinner. I ate Indomie, my favorite.

My dad bought me a new USB. It’s “Samsung – USB Drive and Music Player” and I LOVE it. =)

And also, I went to the dentist. Aww.. the worse trip ever! I hate dentist. =(
He cleaned my teeth, it hurts, but worth it! It’s clean!!!




p.s.
I miss you so much. Sorry for being such a fussy girlfriend, scold you with no reasons sometimes. I know you feel stress for the last few weeks, especially this week. But I believe in you, and I totally know you’ll manage to pass the exam. I know you can. And beb, don’t force yourself. If you feel like too much, just stop and relax a bit. Ok?? Don’t fall sick ya… xoxo

I woke up at 5 in the morning. And do you know why? It’s a long story.

Last night, my mom asked me, “Do you want to come with me for a little bit of walk tomorrow morning?” and I said, “Umph… I don’t know”
She concluded that I said “yes”. Then she started to call her friends, asked them to join. Well I thought I wasn’t included, but this morning she woke me up, [actually she forced me to wake up]. I woke up like about 5 minutes, and start to sleep again. Then she said, “I find myself hate to repeat everything I said”… that’s her weapon! If you ignore her, wow you don’t want to know what happened! Lol. And you do want Denise’s mom to be happy. [swt’] then I yelled, “OK, for GOD sake mom! Fine..fine. I’m up!” then she defense herself by saying, “Hey, you promised me, young lady.”.. I was going to say, “Wtf, when the hell did I promise you!! I didn’t even say ‘yes’.” But I didn’t say that. She’s my mom after all. So I just said, “Fine”. Now she really pissed me off by saying, “Hey watch that attitude!”. Then I started to throw things, and slammed the door!

We walked out from the house at 0515 hour. The route was from my house, then passed the “Garden” [it’s the name of the neighborhood], walked a lil’ bit further, out from the “Garden”, arrived at a local school named “IPEKA”, then walked back home with the same route. On the way back home, we stopped by at a small restaurant which owned by an old lady. She sells lots of thing like congee [we call it here as “Bubur”], Bihun [that’s the tiny noodle], Bakwan [made up from corn]. *slrrrp*. I ate the Bubur with cakwee and chicken. Oh, it tastes so good.

By the time I arrived there, it’s raining. So that’s such a perfect time. Done with all the walking, eat Bubur, escaped from the rain. My lucky-morning. We waited there till’ the rain stop. Arrived home at 0630, straight away sleep. Can’t help it! My eyes feel so heavy. *zzz…* Then I decided to sleep.

I woke up at 12 to 1, and that’s a really good sleep. I felt so bored, nothing to do at home some more, so I made myself jelly. Mmmm… I like it.

After the jelly, I called my twinnies-cousin. Actually I planned to ask her out, but apparently I haven’t taken a shower, and she felt lazy to go out. And finally comes to decision, I went to her house to do a little bit of make-up-test for my bigger cousin’s wedding. She doesn’t really know how to do all the make-up thingy, yet she has the best face curve of all. So I’m so happy to do the entire make up for her. She’ll become my experiment. Yippee. Here’s the result. I went back home at 5.

Later that night, I borrowed one of my cousin’s DVD. I borrowed like 6 movies. The first choice was the “Spiderman 3”. It’s good, and I like it. But too bad, Harry died. Fyi, Toby looks hot here. *yummy*

mike, i now you feel sad now, i feel the same way too. but you know what, don't let this hold you down and broke your spirit to stand up tall again. and don't you ever feel that you're a failure. as what you've wrote, GOD has his own way for your life, and i believe he has purposes for what he's done. you just have to believe in yourself, and screw others! it's not them who live your life, it's YOU. so go go mikey! we'll wait for you, captain! *roger that*

I called today as my “Baking day”. I woke up around 11, and that’s so not the best time for you to get up while you’re here in Jakarta, especially when your mom is MY MOM!
Around 10, she’ll turn off the air conditioner, and leave you suffer from the HEAT! [Please mom, show some mercy!]. So by the time you woke up, you’ll be sweating like a pig, and I hate that. It’s because, my hair turns out to be so OILY after all the sweat!
As today is my “Baking day”, so I decided to make the “Banana Cake”.

Here’s the recipe:
- 300gr plain flour
- 3tsp baking powder
- 70gr raw sugar
- 185ml milk
- 100gr melted butter
- 1 egg beaten slightly
- 250gr mashed banana

1.Heat up the oven to 180°
2.Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in one big bowl
3.Prepare another bowl to mix the milk, melted butter, egg and mashed banana.
4.Make a hole in the mixture of flour, etc. Pour the mixture of milk in it. Then stir it. [You can use mixer, but set it on the lowest level]
5.On the other hand, prepare the container to bake it. Layer it with butter, so it won’t stick to the surface of the container.
6.Pour it inside. The put it inside the oven. Wait for 45 – 50 minutes.

So have fun and enjoy. Bonne Appetite.

Due to my mom’s fault of having the wrong oven, and the wrong container, it comes out like this! Sorry if it makes you lost your appetite and your desire to make it! But if you make it, take a picture of it and send it to me. I really LOVE to know. =)

At 6 p.m. I picked up my cousin at Gading, and then we straight went out for dinner. We ate at “Gandhi Steak House”. Oh my, it tastes so good. Before that, I picked up my dress from the laundry shop named “5 a Sec”. It costs me Rp. 20.500. Which costs around AU$3. So cheap right? After dinner I went to the mall. I bought two t-shirts. One for me and the other one is Steve’s cousin postponed-birthday-present. Lol. Here’s the picture.

After the t-shirt, it’s time for us to find a SHOE for my mom. We went inside a boutique named “Ghaudi”. It’s so good. Perfect for her and she bought it, of course. Walked out from there, we walked in to “SOGO”. We were supposed to find her a clutch, but we got stuck at the cosmetic counter, “Guerlain”. It’s her favorite brand for lipstick. So she bought it.

It's shopping time for DENISE......

Ok, that’s it for today. And today I really miss him! So much. And I really jealous seeing people holding hands, boyfriend-girlfriend. Makes me devastated! Huhu… I miss youuuuuuuuu…………………………
