Perth Hail Storm

There is only one word: SCARY.

Hail stormnya cuman less than one hour, damage cost more than A$100,000. Untung waktu itu aku lagi kerja sampe jam stg 6 mlm, jam 4an gitu lampu shopping centre sempet mati trus nyala langsung abis itu orang2 yang masuk pada basah kuyup trus semua bilang diluar ada storm. Abis itu mulai kedengeran lightenings, thunders, hujan deres banget, trus bunyi krotok krotok di atep ternyata itu hailnya serem abis segede2 bola golf gitu. Jam stg 6 pas keluar, banjir aja lho parkiran park centre, banjir sepintu mobil, mau keluar ke albany hwy banyak mobil kelelep dan mogok. JRENG JRENG JRENG. mobilku khan kecil lemah manual tak berdaya gitu udah serem aja kalo mogok gimana mana jaringan telpon juga kaco putus2 gitu n ga nyambung gitu. serem banget dah. Sepanjang jalan traffic light mati semua, banjir2, macet total sampe yg biasanya less than 10 mins udah sampe rumah ini stg jam lebih. dan dan dan lampu mati sepanjang jalan, shopping centre juga mati, mcd juga mati, semua deh.

Sampe dirumah langsung lemes lho, udah basah kuyup gitu pengen mandi aer anget khan. LAMPU MATI AJAAAA di dalem rumah gelap abis gitu sampe akhirnya jongkok di dpn rumah sambil telp jon nyuru dia nemenin hehehehe loser abis. ternyata oh ternyata dimana2 jalanan macet total ga gerak jadinya ya udah ga jadi kesini deh jon. Di rumah pun mandi gelap2, makan gelap untung beli makanan tadi siangnya cuman ya itu manasinnya manual pake kompor hehehe. Jam 8 malem udah manis ditmpt tidur, kedip2 doank mau belajar ga bisa, bikin assignment ga bisa pdhl ada yg due besoknya, nyalain laptop cuman tahan bentar, batre ipod abis. Khan ga pernah ya lampu mati jadinya kita ga siap apa2 donk mana lilin cuman ada 3 itu aja bekas retret hehehhe. Ya bengong2 aja dalam kegelapan sambil sesengukan di bawah selimut. Papa mama pasti tau lah kalo anaknya yg satu ini benci banget sama lampu mati, kalo di indo aja lampu mati pasti tangan udah nyamber telp, telpon ke pln tiap 5 mnt. Disini? yah udah dibilangin se Perth pada mati semua mo gimana coba.

Besok paginya masih tetep mati lampu lho, ternyata parah banget bangetan itu storm. Kings park sampe mudslide, apartemen2 mountsbay yg bagus2 itu kena lumpur aja lho hehehe. Mobil2 pada bolong2 ancur2 kena hails, Curtin uni sampe mulangin student2nya lho gara2 fire alarm nyala, pintu2 automatic ga bisa kebuka, atap library roboh, banjir dimana2. Yah yah yah sampe detik ini masih ada 16rb rumah di perth yg blm dapet power back.

Since this is Lent season and me, as a Catholic, have to give up something that I like. So, I decided to give up meat for this year, it's just something that I haven't done before, being a vegetarian for 45 days. You must know that eating vegetarian menu or cooking different vegetarian menus is absolutely killing my -already dying- cooking brain. I only know couple menus to cook that always contains tofu and tofu and mushroom and if someone opens my stomach it will be just tofus and some chinese vegies. I finished class at 8pm, got home STARVING like havent eaten for 2 days, looking at my frigde and AH HA i found fresh spinach and ricotta pasta and that's when brain suddenly awakes from the dead. I made this fresh homemade yummy pasta. I think this is my second best vegetarian food after agedashi tofu.

disclaimer: this photo doesn't look appealing but the TASTE is HEAVEN.


Ingredients:

Spinach & Ricotta agnolotti (dumplings) - mine was Remo pasta
Tomato paste - mine was Remo Tomato pasta and red wine
Oregano - cant live without it or Basil leaves
Fresh mushroom, cut into smaller pieces - I was using fresh white mushroom
A bit of feta cheese, crumbled

A bit of black pepper
A bit of sugar

How to cook:

1. Boil pasta until cooked and drain.

2. Use a saucepan, put the tomato paste first, sprinkle with oregano or basil leaves and black pepper and sugar. Wait until hot, put a little bit of water to difuse the paste and then the pasta, stir it well.

3. Put in the mushroom and feta cheese together, stir it well until cooked.

4. Then, ready to serve.

Finishing:

Sprinkle with oregano, parmesan cheese and in my case, the sweet chilly cream cheese. Teehee I'm a cheese person.

Trust me, I couldn't make pasta before, they always tasted so bad that I gave up cooking them. But this time, it is realllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyy gooooooooood like the one you have in an Italian restaurant. Next time you make pasta, use tomato sauce and herbs.

My agedashi tofu and agedashi mushroom isn't that bad as well. trust me, I'm getting better. Ask Jon. teeheee

Hi

I know it's a bit too late but I still like to list things that I've done in 2009.

1. I am back to uni, as a postgraduate student majoring in Marketing and it's actually fun. I prefer my postgrad experience than my undergrads.

2. I live financially by my own and it's something that I'm proud of, thou I don't earn that much. It's another milestone for me to respect money and do more shopping. hehe.

3. I cooked. and it's (quite) delicious. Starting from that point, I assured myself that being a housewife isn't that hard.

4. I went to Singapore twice, to Kuala Lumpur ( I don't like it ), to Bali twice, to Jogjakarta, to Solo, to Jakarta twice, and of course to Surabaya. All with one reason, WEDDINGS. I witnessed too many weddings in 2009. and coming more in 2010. gosh.

5. Met my all complete cousins after 10 years. It's amazing we are like grown ups now and our conversations are getting more complicated now compared to 10 years ago. time flies people, enjoy it while u can.

6. More addicted to internet than before and nothing can stop me ;p

7. Witnessing God's miracles. God is always holding your hands.

8. Had the most intensed months in my life. August - October. 3 big ICYO events and 20 plus assignments, countless group meetings and ICYO meetings. I don't know how I survived, passed all the units, and 3 successful events.

Merry Christmas everyone !!

23.12.2009

Ehm, ga kerasa ya udah mo hari Natal. Btw saya sudah sampai lho di surabaya (yang super duper humid dan digigitin nyamuk tiap malem), perjalanan ke surabaya ga mulus2 banget juga kok. Dari flight Perth-Spore banyak banget toddler yang nangis kenceng kayak mo disembelih and my flight took off at 7.30 am, just imagine how sleepy i was and how annoying they were; their parents should bribe us with free wine or some freebies to compensate with their annoying kids *hehehe*. Udah gitu brekkie di pswt entah i was that hungry ato the portion is getting smaller ya itu udah size makanan kucing kali kecil banget malah aku abisin satu tray yg ada yogurt, buah, muffin n bread roll less than 10 minutes sampe sebelahku heran hahahahhaa but i was still hungry. Sampe di spore, seperti biasa, amusing tambah banyak rasanya orangnya sampe udah out of capacity deh that small island. Tiap ari berburu barang2 buat my cousin's wedding, dari sepatu, anting2, purse, kalung, dipikir2 buset banyak banget yak keperluan cewek, ganti dress ganti aksesoris hahahhaha modalnya mesti kenceng.

Flight Spore - Surabaya lebih ngebetein lagi, udah gate paling ujung, staffnya ga ada ramah pake singlish pula (no offense ;p but still cant understand singlish), pswtnya telat take off setengah jam gara2 nungguin 6 orang !!! CiH ! mestinya ga usah ditunggu lah itu. Sampe di sby jadi telat sekitar 1 jam gitu, pulang langsung mandi in less than 30 mins then langsung tancep ke acara lamaran temen anak papi, pulang rumah langsung tepar. Besokannya ke gereja misa pagi jam 9.15 bookkkk ngantuk abis digereja beneran trus anter yosi potong rambut trus ke rumah sodara yang meng instruksi kan apa aja yg perlu di kerjain pas wedding dia. Ya begitulah seterusnya kehidupan saya di surabaya, masih seputar dress wedding dan sekitarnya, bosan memang, oh dan tentu saja unpack-pack , unpack- pack gitu aja terus


Kangen city beach dan kings park, mulai bosen liat mal terus hehheheheh

circa principessa.

warning: this post contains offensive languages and subjective opinions, please do not read if you dont want to ;p. I will ignore any complaints or rude comments as this is my private blog and you are more than welcome to leave this blog if you feel being offended.

I dont like to talk about private problems to many people. one person plus God is enough for me to share my problems. I dont need your advices, thanks anyway. For being that one person, you must be really close with me which means i really trust you & you should feel honoured (hehe). Which (also) means many people do not understand and do not know what i feel inside (for most of the time), i often smile and laugh but honestly, i suddenly could burst into tears and people start calling me weirdo. I express my feelings into writing, i used to have many short stories, poems and unfinished novels in my very old computers back to my junior high school days but i dont bother expressing my feelings into writing again, retail therapy is much better (hhehehe). I am a very discipline person, i cannot be late, i list everything in my brain, i hate slow people, i am very organised, i need to have -me time- regularly, i must eat carbohydrate in every single meal, i can get upset easily if my schedules or my plans is ruined and it takes me a very long time to forget about that, i have photographic memories, i love reading novels and books (you can be amazed on how quick i read a novel and remember the storyline of every novel i have read). I have been loving blue and white colour for almost 10 years now and yes most of my stuff are blue and white. I am very very very very sensitive person actually, i remember every people who had insulted me and said something that hurt me, and also every single word of it. That is why sometimes I am afraid of my photographic memories. I hate waiting, I hate stupid and slow people (not being rude but they irritate me for most of time) for example; I'm working in a patisserie and i've found millions of people asking me for ice creams or chips or sandwiches, CANT U JUST READ PATISSERIE ? I dont feel like moving to my -soon to be- new house, the room size is the same as a bird's cage, one door wardrobe, plus it is not carpet based, i hate sweeping floors.

to be continued.
