President Election 2009...tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the President Election day...and I've taken some part in making it successful...
See see? I helped the committee filling in the invitation forms. LOL
No la, actually cos my dad was part of the committee, and the head of the committee was in Bali until last night, and the KPU (Komisi Pemilihan Umum - Election Committee) had just given the forms on Saturday night and yet they expect us to have them filled in by Sunday night so the people from RW could send them out the next morning! WTH!!! So short time oni? Cehhhh...
My mum and I did help him la, but for sure we couldn't managed to finish 600 (yes, a freaking amount of six hundred!!!) forms in just 1 or 2 nights. We did the same thing last April for the Legislative Election but it was only like what...350 or so. So I asked my dad to give them some to the other committee member to help also la.
But anyway, I didn't manage to help a lot as I was feeling sooo damn sleepy. Sowie, daddy! :p
And cos tomorrow is the election day, it's gonna be a public holiday for us *jumping with glee*

A super tiny reunion with 3 people
After I almost forgotten about meeting up with Cynthia (sorry, babe :p), I finally met up with her and Nia last Saturday. Supposedly Isabel was there as well, but she couldn't make it at the last minute :(
So anyway, we went for a normal girls' outing. Started with hearty meals and a long chit chat<3... (no picture)
.....Freshen up with Sour Sally...
....Fooling around....
I found this really funny yet stupid eyeglasses in the shape of bicycle, guitar, and a freaking GOLD skeleton head. SO BLING! But unfortunately forgotten to take pic :(
....Satisfying the fantasy world in us...
Yea la I know I'm so late for this, but it has just started to play here in Indo not long ago T_T
It's a good movie btw. Altho I fell asleep for a minute or more in the middle of the movie. LOL :p
If I have the power like Mortimer Folchart, I'd definitely read my Doraemon and Disney comics out loud so they will come out to life! :D
....and topped off with some sushi!! :D
I couldn't help but laugh at the stupid gay sun and the even gayer Sumo-er! ROFL!
Apparently this was our first time dining at Sushi Groove (cos we knew that Sushi Tei was surely damn PACKED and we had to queue for we didn't know how long and we didn't wanna think about it.
They have this long table where customers can sit side by side (even tho they don't know each other). Guess Sushi Grooves wants to create a friendship bond between the customers? o.O
The sushiS there were named in a groovy way (or so they say). Oh well, at least the names are not those normal ones like 'Sake', or 'California Roll' (ok, they do have California Roll as well) or whatever. Just look at the menu...You got 'Rock & Roll', 'Flying Geisha Roll', 'Electric Eel Roll', 'Lil; Mermaid Roll', 'Hot Kiss Roll', ...
...'Ziggy Roll', 'Angry Mushroom Roll', ...
...'Krakatau Roll'...
Ok ok. Enough for the rolls! Lol.
Chouji Roll. Definitely a must-try! It's kinda unique as the roll is being deep fried before being cut into pieces. The taste? Mozarella Chicken with a slight taste of chilli sauce.
Mayonnaise Dream Roll. It is baked! Wooo I like unique sushiS! Lol. Very very hot cos we ate it right after i was served! LOL our tongues were damn burned!
Bulgogi Roll! Wheee~ Tasted a bit hot as well cos of the chilli on top! But it's niceeeee~
Yeap, we only ordered 3 types cos we were still kinda full from the lunch and so on.
I'm kinda agree with that!
I'll definitely go back there some other time to try the other unique rolls! :D
Ambience: 8/10
Food: 8/10
Price: 8/10 (quit reasonable. Cheaper than Sushi Tei)
A simple outing yet we (ok, at least I) had so much fun :))
Looking forward for our next reunion, girls! Hopefully with more people ;)
And when will we arrange our Primary School reunion again? :D
p.s: Bali and Medan post will be postponed for now. Lazy to sort the photos :p

Attention Vintage Stuffs Lovers!!
I googled for "Iklan kuno (Old advertisement)" just now, and I landed on this very interesting site that sells lots of Indonesian vintage stuffs! (Some items even came from overseas).
At least it's interesting for me cos I like those old ads and magazine covers and stuffs. Lol it's kinda funny when you look at it, more over when u read the copy! Ahahahahaha...it really makes me think on how far the development of advertising in Indonesia has been!
Let me show you some of the cool stuffs there:
This is a rare postcard that doesn't even mentioned in the Indonesian Philately Catalog!! Published in the memorial of the 11th year of Indonesian Independence Day.
There's an image of Garuda Indonesia on the front side and an image of Soekarno as the 1st President of the Republic of Indonesia, completed with the Proklamasi text.
Super Rare!! I want this for my postcard collection!!!
Below is a special edition silver coin published by the Bank of Indonesia on October 1, 1974
So unique! I want also! Lol
And this,
is a very rare public announcement from the World War II era (and the Japanese occupation too)!!
It's about how to keep yourself safe when there was an air attack.
A literature work of Grant Allen from 1948. Dunno what's the story. I've tried to google but there seems to be no information about this book. Nevermind. Lol
An old Newsweek! A June 16th 1968 issue with Robert Francis Kennedy (RFK) as the cover (man). The main news is about his assasination.
A Hans Christian Andersen's storybook!
See, only IDR 40,-!! Eh wait, izzit Rp 40,- or Rp 250,- ? o.O
WOW! Lottery ticket!! LOL. The Oendian Oeang Djawa Gunseikanbu was a lottery held during the short (3 years only! 1942-1945) Japanese Occupation Era in Indonesia.
The lottery dated back to day 3, month 10, year 2604 (based on the Showa Japanese calendar on the year 1944).
The total prize was 125,000 Gulden (Dutch currency before it changed to Euro), with the first prize worth 30,000 Gulden!
And this is children's favorite magazine at its' time! Some said even the readers that grew up with this still missing this magazine oftenly!
This is the 26th edition of 1976
This is the 23rd issue of 1976
This is one of my favorites! LOL
A Kodak advertisement from the Dutch Colonial Era! That time, camera was still called fototoestel or in short toestel (In fact, we, Indonesian, are still using the term Tustel --> the modern Indonesian spelling of Toestel until now!). Oh well, Indonesian language are much influenced by Dutch and Portuguese anyway :)
Anyway, read the copy!!
MATA AWAS...
Sedikit KESABETAN...
...satoe Kodak!
ROFL can anyone tell me what is KESABETAN? I couldn't seem to figure it out!
Some book written in Ancient Javanese alphabet (Huruf Jawi Kuno) during the Dutch Colonial Era! When it's translated into Indonesian, it became...
..................SITI KARO SLAMET (Siti and Slamet)!! ROFL!
Published by J.B. Wolters, Batavia, on 1931!
Next!
Wahhh..an old Sin Po newspaper. Dated 2nd Lak Gwee Tuesday 2473 or July 25, 1922!
This one is an old Sinar Harapan newspaper!
Wah, this is so rare! An Indonesian comic from the Dutch Colonial Era. Probably was published around the 1930s, and most probably is the first comic book ever published in Indonesia, in comic genre.
The story is about Ken Angrok (I supposed it's the same as Ken Arok. ANyone can clarify this for me?)
An old school report book from the Dutch Colonial Era! This is where the word Raport (the Indonesian for Report) came from! See, I've told you that Indonesian language got a lot of influence from Dutch and Portuguese ;)
And those are some of my favorites from Koleksi Tempo Doeloe
Ahhh vintage stuffs never die. Lol :p

This is the 23rd issue of 1976I've heard about this magazine before from my parents, and Si Kuncung can be considered as the most read magazine of the kids from that time. It's a real memorabilia for those who grew up with it.

This
is one of my favorite bread!
Ok, honestly, I am such a sucker for bread >.<
*Confirmed by my mum. She said I've been having a huge amount of love for bread since I was small. LOL*
So the brownish bread above is called Roti Gambang, made from flour and brown sugar and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Sounds so simple right? But the taste is just soooo nice I could hardly tahan my appetite everytime I saw it.
The texture is chewy with a hinf od brown sugar. Good thing is, it's not too sweet so it suits me so!!
I loooove it so much since I was in Primary School. Too bad, nowadays it's kinda hard to find it cos usually those who sell it are the traditional bread man...Ehmm..something like this:
(Photo tukang roti gerobak)
One of those bakeries are Tan Ek Tjoan and Lauw Bakery, but they are rarely seen in Jakarta today :((
When I was small, I used to see lots of the bread-selling-cart around my living area....
And it's been a few years since the last time I eat a roti gambang. Surprisingly, when my parents went to Bogor with their friends for a night out at a villa, they stopped by a Tan Ek Tjoan bakery there!! Wooo!! And definitely my dad bought me a roti gambang as my parents know how much I love it!!! :D:D:D:D:D
I was out when they reached home, and when I came home, I gladly found a piece of that brownish bread in the cake box!!!
THANKS SO MUCH, PAPA!!!!! :D:D:D
I held it in my hands, break it apart, touch and feel it, take a bite, and....
...Ahhhhhh heavenly......
Couldn't bear to gobble it down at once, I bite it slowly and enjoying every single bit of the roti.......yummmm~
Sigh...if only the oven at home is usable (rosak d. Have tried to fix it twice but still no use), I would make lots of rotiS and cakeS regularly cos I love them :(

I'm addicted!!!!
The term "addiction" is used in many contexts to describe an obsession, compulsion, or excessive psychological dependence, such as: drug addiction (e.g. alcoholism), video game addiction, crime, money, work addiction, compulsive overeating, problem gambling, computer addiction, nicotine addiction, pornography addiction, plastic surgery addiction, etc.
That (pointing upwards) was what Wikipedia says.
Erm...don't worry, I'm not addicted to any kind of drugs or gambling or work (omg!) or plastic surgery or whatsoever.
I am addicted to this cute little girl who never fails to satisfy me every time I thirst for her....
She always gives me the best of her. Her smooth body with her "things" that taste sweet and sour at times, and when I taste her, I could feel the cool sensation inside me....
Ahhhh......the joy Sally brings me....
Yes, people, her name is Sally. The little girl who have made me gone crazy over and never fail to cheer me up. The first time I laid my eyes on her, it was then that I deeply fell in love with her....
Everyone, meet Sally!
Isn't she cute?
LOL ok ok, I sound like some pervert lesbian pedophile here >.<. The Sally I've been talking about all the way is actually a frozen yogurt brand that has just opened for a year in Indonesia. In fact, it's the first of its' kind here in Indo.
Tell me if you don't feel like eating fro-yo now! There's seriously something wrong with you! *LOL wth I force people to love fro-yo just like how I am*
I can finish the large cup all by myself! Hahaha yes, I love fro-yo that much!!Actually my first love with fro-yo was with New Zealand Natural
It was like....around 9-10 years back that I started to LOVE fro-yo (the popular nickname for frozen yogurt). I love it that much that most of the time I went to the mall, I had to buy 1 of it! :D:D
And last year, Sally came downtown! Surprisingly, although it looks like some imported brand from The US or something, the owner is actually an Indonesian!! Yes, a 27 year old guy named Donny Pramono!
Anyway, since the first time Sally makes an appearance in Jakarta, there seems to be a fro-yo craze among the Jakartarians (cos Sour Sally is only available at Jakarta at the moment)!
I guess that's why J.Co tried to expand their business into fro-yo as well, and there it is: J. Cool!
It's yummy also, but the texture is slightly different than Sour Sally. A little bit sweeter I could say. Suitable for those who likes yogurt but doesn't really like sour.And then there's another one called Heavenly Blush
I haven't got the chance to try this, but I've heard from some friends that it's tasty as well, even tastier than Sour Sally!p.s: I'm supposed to post some pictures of Sour Sally and J.Cool's outlets actually, but I don't have it with me right now. Will post it with a proper fro-yo review for each brand next time ;)
Til then, let me enjoy my cupS of fro-yo..yummmm
