Disgustingly Rich Brownies

I have been using my Android for 2 weeks and I like it :D *despite the fact that it is a battery eater*
There is a lot of app in the Android Market, but I want to review this one 'Recipes'.
Just like the name, 'Recipes' provide a lot of recipes. From main dish into dessert.
The recipes are categorized per type and on the summary you could find the number of ingredients and steps.
The search engine provided is by ingredients.
Oh yeah, the wallpaper background is also nice, especially if you love green.


Yesterday, me and my boyfriend decided to try one of those recipes.
Because we are just amateur, we choose 'Disgustingly Rich Brownies'. We choose that because:
1. The number of ingredients and steps: easy to be found and followed
2. You'll never fail in baking brownies, just mix the ingredient then bake. Just watch out to not burnt the cake
3. This recipe is intended for Kids cooking, so how hard it could be?

Mixing....

So.. after turning my kitchen into a battlefield, I'm proudly present you the 'Disgustingly Rich Brownies'.

I wish I could share the brownies ;)

New Year with new glasses and a new .... phone? :p

The year has changed.
It's the time to buy new glasses..
No.. there isn't any problem with my old ones. It' s just that i have to use my health insurance benefit.
So.. i think that it would be nice to have another transition glasses. After searching at 4 optic stores with my bf, i decided to buy this one. A different image with the old one.
The frame colour is white with a slightly gold. Cute, fresh, young and simple enough.

The 2nd thing that i purchased last weekend is an android phone :D
Actually, i've been thinking really hard to choose between an Android, a Blackberry, or an iPhone (sorry Sony Ericsson.. but i need a refreshment after 5 years using a Son-Er)..
On my first filtering, i dismissed iPhone, because it's too expensive.
On my 2nd filtering, I dismissed Blackberry, because I don't know how i will answer my boss if he ask 'what's your pin number, Sev?'
I'll answer him, but I'll regret it :p
BBM is an interesting feature, but i still want my freedom. So i dismissed blackberry from my options.


My options is narrowed between Samsung Galaxy 551 and LG Optimus One. From what i read in some amdroid forum, LG Optimus One has a better review. And it is also upgradable into gingerbread while samsung isn't upgradable.
But the big missing point for me is its size. You know that i'm a girl, don't you?
My hand is not big enough to handle opimus one in a comfy way. It's slightly bigger than my palm. I'm afraid that if i can't grab it right, it will fall from my hand. Oh, that would be a nightmare.
So, let me introduce you my Samsung Galaxy 551 in white-green colour. (Another white things purchased in 2011)


Anyway, this is my first post written with my android :p


*special thanks for someone... thank you for accompanying me into my hunting quest, hehehehe

Happy New Year 2011

Happy New Year 2011 !!!

So... What's gonna happen on this year?
Hopefully everything is gonna be alright for all of you.

Everything happened in the last year is nothing more than just a history, so get your lesson then take your next step on this year.
Either a small or a big step, it's still a step.
It's much better than doing nothing.

Let's begin this year with a big smile on our face :D

Season Greeting

Finally, this is the first day of my xmas holiday.

I'm gonna spend a little time with my boyfriend searching some birthday's present for my sisters (yes with 'S', because both of them are having birthday on the last week.. What makes it funnier is my boyfriend's sister is also on the last week).
Then i'm gonna go back to Bandung, celebrate the moment with my family and friends..
Oh gosh, i really like this season.
Last,I'm wishing you a 'Merry Christmas'

Of Bees and Mist - Erick Setiawan

The first thing that caught my eyes is the author's last name.

It's a rare occasion to see a book written by an Indonesian at Kinokuniya.

So I grabbed this bookfrom the shelves.

ISBN-10: 0755356586

ISBN-13: 9780755356584

As soon as I began to read this, I just couldn't stop.

According to the book's cover the story is about:

"Three strong women. Two feuding families. A singular story of enchantment"

Let me be short, the three strong women are Meridia, the main character, Ravenna (Meridia's mother) and Eva (Meridia's mother-in-law).

The story began with Meridia's birth, followed by her cold childhood at 24th Monarch street, her journey to search the warmth of love from her husband's family at Orchard Road, and finally back to her house seeking her own inner peace.

What I really love about this story is the main conflict described in the book is really the problem that we could face on our daily life. The problem between husband and wife, parents and child and between in-laws. The magical thing makes the story more interesting.
