Masak Seru Bareng Si Tukang Masak

i got this book in TGA kwitang..
what made me interested in this book is that the recipes are mostly for anak kosan/orang yg tinggal di apartment..
so it's all basically a menu for two..
and since it's for the busy people in the city, all menus are practical and easy to make..
most ingredients you'll be able to buy in the nearest supermarkets..
the recipes are EASY..
i mean if i can do it *i have no basic background in the kitchen WHATSOEVER*, i bet you can..
i tried the oseng buncis and it turned out gooooooddd..
will be trying the muntahu anak kos recipe soon *coz i bought the ingredients already*
the book doesn't cost that much and you get a vcd with it..
THANK U MR. BARA :)

New Stuff :D

this is what i managed to pick up the last 2 months or so..
i love love love make up so yeah it SHOWS :)



an eyebrow/eyelash scissor comb, i say it's a must if you have thick brows like me..
you don't want to go bushy and look a character of sesame street right?
this scissor has a comb attached to it so makes it easier to control the length of hair that you're cutting, almost like giving your brows/lash a trim..
i got this in seibu, grand indo for Rp. 30K-ish, in baby blue of course :D



while searching for the eyebrow/eyelash scissor comb, i stumbled across this product..
which is a mask to cover the eye when you apply mascara..
lucu yaa orang jepang emang inovatif!



i got curious on trying on maybelline's newest mascara, unstoppable curly extension..
i didn't quite like it, it smudges, clumps..
my mom says that it makes my lashes look like SAPU hahaha..
but it's easy to remove since it's not waterproof..



NYX eye/eyebrow pencil in sapphire
i stumbled across this brand in EX..
i have read from some reviews that it's almost like MAC without the $$$..
so i gave it a try and looked around..
in the website it cost around $4, but in here it cost Rp. 45K..


nyx eyebrow powder in gray/black..
since the eye area is the center of my face, i need a lot to make it look better *make up junkie beralasan :D*
oh yeah i checked the website and it should cost $4 but in here they charged us Rp. 75K..




body shop lip/cheek stain
i wanted to buy this coz i've tried on anggi's..
it applies and dries nicely..
gives you a healthy red lips without looking vampire-ish..
and it applies on your cheeks too for that healthy glow..




maybelline watershine pure in 318 nudie mocha
i finally found 'the lipstick'..
for a very very long time i kept thinking that lipsticks are not for me..
why? because i have thick lips..
any color i wear will stand out from 1 km *lebay mode: on*
the reason why i said it's 'the lipstick'..
because it's my lip color so it makes me look like i am wearing lipstick without that obvious omg-you're-wearing-lipstick look *get it? NO?! DEAL WITH IT!*

Mavala Double Lash

I decided that I needed to do something with my eyelashes..
Why? Because of the frequent mascara use and laziness of cleaning it thoroughly, it's starting to fall out..
And before you know it, I have sparse lashes..

I wanted to try Talika, but the price tag is a no no..
Did my research and found out this product at 1/3 the price..
I bought this is Guardian, Plaza Indonesia at a price of Rp. 100K..
Lucky me I got a 20% discount otherwise it's going to cost you Rp. 120K..

Mavala double lash is from Switzerland, a nutritive treatment that lengthens and strengthens lashes, helps stimulate faster growth and protects them.

Finally, you no longer have to thicken your thinning lashes with multiple coats of mascara! Switzerland's Double-Lash is the only night treatment specifically formulated for lengthening, thickening and protecting eyelashes. Contains a special multi-protein that works overnight to immediately bond splitting and restore thickness. Meanwhile the exclusive moisturizing ingredients condition dry, brittle hairs to make them softer and more luxuriant. Just brush it on at bedtime, and within a few days you'll notice a fuller appearance and less "flyaways." In just three to four weeks, the rich nutrients begin to promote healthy, consistent growth. You'll show off naturally long lashes instead of slathering on the mascara. Use nightly for best results. Safe, sterile and non-toxic, it won't irritate sensitive eyes. Also works to thicken sparse eyebrows. Comes in a convenient brush-on applicator.

Functions:

Strengthens, lengthens and thickens lashes.

Directions:

Remove all make-up from the eyelashes, brush on Double-Lash with its convenient applicator and allow to take effect overnight. (from here)

I have just used it for three days now, on my eyelashes both top and bottom and on my eyebrows..No visible signs just yet, slightly darker perhaps? Will report more :)

In the mean while, I got a Twix package oleh2 dari Singaparna dari si kunteti, i lof uuuuu..

____________________________________________________________________

27/12 YES the mascara did it wonders i now have thicker lashes and brows, longer and darker too :)

but this product is not for the faint heart *apa coba*, one of my friend tried this product and she seemed to be allergic to it and it made her eyes puffed up instead..so it's a-maybe-it-will-work-for-you type of product but if it doesn't then don't blame, i have nothing to do with it *disclaimer haha*..

Pisa Cafe

the garden scene with angelic statues, xmas tree

tadi siang makan di pisa cafe menteng, sebrang theresia dan sarinah..
that's how the cafe looks like..
the outdoor part of the cafe has a garden feel..
since xmas is near there's also a xmas tree..


the coffee menu

pisa cafe also has assorted coffee menu..
made fresh from sumatran coffee beans..
i tried a few before..
and they were goood..


fruit punch, orange juice, lime squash

for drinks we ordered fruit punch for my bro..
orange juice for hekalomania..
lime squash for me..


modelling my lime squash, the funny looking bricks..

in the mean while waiting for the food to come..
i took some pics of the cafe, like the garden, xmas tree..
modelled for my own drink hehe..
then hasp asked me to take a pic of the bricks..
because it's funny looking..
jadi nonjol jeda2 satu..
katanya the pic will be useful to show to the tukang when we build our house..
haha suka aneh emang dia!


mozarella in carozza, lasagna


fettucine alfredo, spaghetti carbonara

then our food came yey!
our appetizer is mozarella in carozza..
considering i haven't eaten breakfast and it's late in the afternoon, i had a reason to pig out hehe..

mozarella in carozza is fried bread with smoked beef and mozarella, this is a definite winner (apa karena laper?), the bread was crunchy and the mozarella gooey :)
hasp ordered lasagna, which is very very good and fattening, with all that cheese inside it must be..
i ordered fettucine alfredo, my fave pasta at all time :D
and my bro ordered spaghetti carbonara..
YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY I GOT LOVE IN MY TUMMY..


gelato

for dessert i ordered one cup of gelato..
consisting of azzuro which is sweet mint and oreo..
pisa cafe is also well known for its gelato, cheaper than gellatisimo but still very delish AHA :)


the happy go lucky couple :)

Te Sate

today me and my bros (yg di bandung pulang lagi!) makan di te sate, plaza senayan..
i read a few reviews about this place and one of my dear friend actually recommended this place nevertheless i got curious..
if you're not really into indonesian food when it comes to eating out, this is not your option..
te sate is a restaurant that serves only indonesian cuisine..

this restaurant is so cool, at first when you see the entrance, you'd think that it's small..
but that turns out to be the smoking area..
the non-smoking area is located behind the smoking area buttt you'd have to pass this white futuristic hall and there's this white decorated door that opens *poof* kayak di pelem2 gitu haha (norak mode: ON)
and the decoration is awesome..


the table piece

the table piece is a glass of water filled with jasmine..
you can't smell the scent but if you put your nose close enough baru kecium baunya..
creepy and pretty at the same time haha!


lime lemongrass tea, mango ginger tea and strawberry mix

for drinks my bro ordered lime lemongrass tea which is iced tea with lemongrass flavor and scent, plus lime cut in small sizes..
my drink is mango ginger tea, the ginger is very dominant in this iced tea and the mango gives it a mellow tang taste..
my other bro ordered strawberry mix which is more like a strawberry puree with soda and ice..


sate ayam madura, sate kambing

my brothers ordered sate ayam madura and sate kambing..
rice is not included in this meal, so you'd have to order separately..
the sate is served in a hot plate with coal underneath it to keep it warm..
the sate ayam is served with peanut sauce and the sate kambing with sweet soy sauce..
one meal consist of 6 tusuk sate, you'd think that's not plenty..
but the meat size of the sate is quite grand i'm telling you..
the sate was good, the meat tender and juicy..


white rice, tempat tusuk sate

this is the white rice, ordered separately..
also they provide you with this cup for your tusuk sate..
neat ey?


me eating: nasi goreng buntut bumbu belacan


left-right: kerupuk 3 macem, nasi goreng buntut bumbu belacan, kuah sup buntut

i ate nasi goreng bumbu belacan, i didn't know it was going to look like but it has a recommended sign next to it on the menu..
oh btw the menu is cute, i didn't take pic of it abis ada mas2nya, MALU!!
the menu is attached to half of kipas sate..
back to where i was, sooo when the mas2 brought me my food, i didn't know it was going to be a tray long..
the nasi goreng buntut bumbu belacan is served with 3 types of kerupuk yaitu: kerupuk udang, emping and kerupuk beras and kuah sup buntut..
the rice didn't look plenty butt i was fooled by the bowl/plate they served it in..
it tasted yummy and i of course didn't finish my meal..
left to two piranhas hehe..

Cold Stone Creamery

girls: ika, maya, sandra vs boys: heikhal, hisbul, balong

akhirnya nonton TWILIGHT juga..!!
setelah mendesak para lelaki yang mau nonton Si Jago Merah di Detos, the girls insisted on Twilight di Citos..
yg menang: CEWE-CEWE LAH!
that's what estrogens are for!!
ke Citos kami meluncur naik mobil 'BERES bersama Om Eggi Sudjana..'
ayo yg di kawasan Jawa Barat didukung Om Eggi..
*KOK KAMPANYE SAN?*

berhubung dari kampus jam setengah 2an, nyampe beli tiket jam 2an..
dan pelemnya sendiri baru mulai jam 2.55..
we kongkow at COLD STONE CREAMERY..
mulai deh si keket crita ttg pembantaian di citos with samurai..
KEKET PLIS DEH AH, SEREM TAUK..
sempet beli jibbits 'hersheys' yg palsu buat spatu crocsku sama bracelets hehe..

and we ordered..


breathless boston cream pie, cookie mintster

pas nyampe ngeliat porsinya..
gw, keket dan ika langsung berkata "kayanya ga abis deh sendiri, bertiga aja yuk.."
we ordered breathless boston cream pie..
eh si lelaki2 selesai sholat malah membabi buta..
abis deh es krim kami..
berhubung gw dan ika diet 5000 kalori, mesen lagi deh..
dengan memalak si abang 20k, we ordered cookie mintster..
dan dihajar ber6 lagi :(

ya kali ini agak puas lah ya (HARUS puas san!)
si hisbul sempet mesen minuman apa itu yg berry2..
buset asyemm abis, kalo flu minum itu pasti sembuh deh!

oh ya cold stone ini unik lho, you can create custom create your own flavor or pesen signature creations..
since i believe in the pros mesen yang signature creations..
es krimnya kemudian dibulet2in gitu sama mbak2nya..
trus DI LEMPAR ke mbak2 yg dideket kasir..
si abang mpe heran dia nanya "IH MBAK KOK BISA GITU, LATIAN DIMANA MBAK?"
abis itu si mbak2 deket kasir meracik es krim diatas batu dingin hence the name COLD STONE sesuai dengan pesanan..
abis itu ditaro dalam wadah yg ada crispy wafflenya bisa milih yg plain, with chocolate or with chocolate and sprinkles..

eskrimnya enakk, must try bgt deh..
it's creamy, smooth, not too sweet..

abis itu nonton Twilight deh..
pelem terSLOW yang pernah gw tonton, gw sama ika sempet ngobrol selama sepertiga pelemnya haha..
blum lagi comment si abang "SKRG AKU TAU VAMPIR TUH KETURUNAN MONYET" dan "EH ITU MAH DANAU TOBA TUUUUH ADA PULAU SAMOSIRNYA DITENGAH" dan "KO BISA SYUTING DIATAS POHON TINGGI BANGET ITU"
cukup merusak suasana pelem yang dingin2 romantis..
interesting movie but could've been better..
i'd still watch the sequel though ;)


pic 1 pasangan homo abad ini, pic 2 ikaiko dan kunteti sharing a cup, pic 3 supir metromini eats ice cream for the first time ever!

damage's done so I guess I be leaving..

my 'damages' i manage to pick up at the mall yesterday:

pic from here
born lippy in passionberry

my maybelline is finished, trus pengen try something new..
but lipbalm-y not glossy..
did my research and i picked born lippy from body shop..
the lipbalm doesn't give off color so it doesn't matter what you choose, except ada beberapa yang pake shimmer..
might wanna steer clear off them, you don't want bling bling-y lips khan?
passionberry yang milih hasp, i like to involve him in my shopping spree, asking for his opinions or whatever lah so he feels relevant and needed..
oh the male ego :P

pic from here
mamma mia! the movie soundtrack

i like the movie, i love the music so i picked up the CD..
thank god for indonesian edition CD so the price was only Rp. 55k :)
pas dengerin di mobil cuman sampe nomer 12 out of 17..
abis itu disuruh ganti sama Hasp, katanya dia pusing..
how unsensitive!

pic from here

sea-quill omega 3 salmon

this is my daily intake of the 'good and healthy stuff' and i ran out..
one bottle contains 100 soft gel capsules and since i take one a day, it last for around 3 months..
it was on sale :) so i saved money-oo..
