For our 4th anniversary, I baked a chocoholics cake. I don't remember where I got the original recipe because I handwrote it on my recipe notebook like years ago. But I do tweak it a bit, using dark cooking chocolate because I love dark choco and in my opinion, it taste better than cocoa powder.  Here's the recipe for the Moist Choco Cake : 250 gr plain flour 50 gr shifted cocoa powder

07 Juli 2007, pukul 10.00, Saya dan Abenk meneguhkan janji nikah di hadapan Tuhan, keluarga dan jemaat gereja. Kami berjanji untuk saling mencintai, saling setia, saling menghormati, saling mengasihi dalam suka maupun duka, saat berkekurangan maupun saat berkelimpahan, saat sehat maupun sakit, sampai maut memisahkan kami. Kami merumuskan janji itu bersama-sama, dan sepakat untuk mengucapkan janji

I really don't like my hair now. It's shapeless, blunt cut and the last time it got trimmed was by me, in my bathroom, with a pair of small (but sharp) scissors. I never got the time to go to a hairsalon or hairdresser because Noelle became so clingy, I could never ever leave her side for 2 seconds! Let alone 25 minutes to get my haircut..  And now I am seriously in need for a new haircut. A low

Hari ini saya punya 1,1 kg daging sapi cincang yang premium, niatnya disulap jadi bakso dan  bakso tahu karena sekarang sedang musim dingin dan kayaknya enak banget kalau makan selalu berkuah panas-panas.. Setelah menghaluskan daging pakai processor, kok kayaknya jadi banyak sekali, akhirnya saya sisihkan 1/3-nya dengan niat mencoba bikin roulade daging sapi (beef roulade).  Beef roulade termasuk

Aroma sup Brenebon memenuhi seluruh rumah, menari2 di hidung saya, membangkitkan kenangan saya semasa tinggal bersama Mami. Wangi bawang, pala dan cengkeh yang hangat, membawa ingatan saya ke jaman ketika gadis, yang tidak suka membantu Mami memasak, tapi giliran makan tentu saja tidak mau tertinggal.  Mami -pastinya- berharap, saya sebagai anak perempuan satu-satunya bakal mewarisi tangan

Soon after the second birthday of my daughter -Noelle- I noticed a tremendous change in her temperament and behavior. She was no more the same obedient baby. She became aggressive, showed her likes and dislikes, would throw tantrums and keep me on my toes to feed her, to bath her and to dress her up.  So I realized that it is going to be a tough exhausting year ahead for me as a mother and

Hey! I've been neglecting my own blog, let alone contributing on my other blog.. I've been busy packing and unpacking because we're moving house, and last week we went to Parkes and Sydney, NSW, having a little (winter) break and visiting our childhood friend.. I've been patient enough not to touch my sewing machine during the unpacking period, but now everything is settled and on their places,

This was our family's very first year to participate  in Earth Hour.  I planned some unplugged activities for our family to participate, from day to night time.  We spent the day just like any other weekend (mostly outside the house and minimizing electricity usage because we unplugged all the appliances except the fridge and ricewarmer). We had brunch at the Innaloo Shopping Centre because we

Today I made two covered button. The fabric is the same with this necklace. It was my first time making covered button and turn out it was fun and easy. The fabric was quite sheer so I need to put one layer of thick jersey to cover the metal base, and to make it a bit textured.  I use them as pendant and hairclip. My friends told me to sell them, but I need more practising before going serious

I found this lovely top at thrift shop, it was a bit pricey, AUD 10.99.. I was shopping with my friend Monica, and she even asked the girl at the register why does the top overpriced. The girl said it was because of the material is some kind of special fabric. Yeah, I know.. It was 100% cotton, so thin and light and see through, flowy and thinner than cotton voile. I bought the top anyway,

Another refashion project, skirt to bag..  As I have wrote long long a go, I like skull images, and when I saw this H&M skull skirt on a thrift shop, I snatched it right away because I got a premonition that the skirt will be reborn as a bag. It was a teeny tiny skirt, and the lady on the register got questioning look because there was no way I can squeeze in to that skirt. I paid  AUD4, washed

Once upon a time, there was a bag that looked like this belong to someone in Far Far Away.. She got bored with the bag and threw it away/donate it until it arrived in my country, Never-Never Land.. I spotted it in a flea market in Makassar, year of 2000. It looked gorgeous, peeking under hundreds other bags from Far Far Away. I took it home with me after paid Rp5000, or about 60c. I washed it

Tahu merupakan salah satu hasil olahan kacang kedelai yang dikenal sebagai makanan super karena tinggi protein dan komposisi asam aminonya paling lengkap. Harga yang lebih murah daripada daging merah maupun produk unggas, membuat masyarakat cenderung lebih memilih mengkonsumsi tahu sebagai bahan makanan pengganti protein hewani untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gizi.

Finally, I braced myself and made a batik tulis dress for me last week.. Usually I only refashioned tired batik skirt, tablecloth or cheap batik. Working with batik tulis was a bit scary because batik tulis is a unique and a bit pricey fabric.. I bought the fabric like a year a go, it was named Cala Culu. Sounds funny, eh?I did not use any commercial pattern for this maxi dress, as usual I sketch

it's been a while since i post something, it's just a quick post about my latest sewing project, bedding set for noelle...now that she's 2 yr, i think it's time for her to brace herself to sleep on her bed. she, until now, thinks that my bedroom is her bedroom while her actual bedroom is her play room. i can't blame her tho, we used to co sleeping since she was newborn, and eventhough i put her

I've been looking for a roomy and comfy sling bag for out and about in weekends.. I do love my leather shoulder bags, but sometimes I need one hand to hold the pram, and the other for tagging the smartcard at the station or bus, ooooorrrrr for admiring anything that caught my eyes on! So, a constantly slipping shoulder bag would be one of the the unpleasant things that could happen to you in

finally, i made my first insulated bag!i was making a lunch bag for my hubby a couple of weeks a go, post the finished product at my facebook page, and a friend commented that it would be better if the lunch bag is insulated. well, my hubby workplace has microwaves and he can reheat his lunch meal anytime so i did not see the urge to make insulated bag. but then, summer is aproaching, and it

here's my favourite rendang recipe.. it's such a lovely dish, a labour of love's product :D the meat will be so tender, some still intact in pieces, some will shred from repeatedly stirring in the pot. my mom made rendang with pressure cooker, sometimes she add small red beans, and tiny potatoes. some people prefer the rendang has thick oily sauce, some prefer dry rendang. i love rendang with a

i've just realize that making toddler skirt with elastic is the easiest sewing ever. no brainer!! just rectangle, sewing casing for the elastic, thread the elastic in the casing, sewing shut the casing and you're done. i was making 3 skirts, so i had 3 elastic, the bottom part of old tee/tank top (one is pink with butterflies and the other is stripey blue) and 57cmx57cm bandana (plus coordinate

It's from Mothercare, size 3T, color : salmon, bought in June, sooo it's still considered new. Noelle wore it almost everyweek, and we brought it on our vacation in Goldcoast early Sept 2010 because it's hot during the day and cold at night. Then, the disaster

Spirit for Spring cleaning, Spring race and Spring sewing.. Which remind me that my NEW sewing machine, which I praised over and over again after several sewing projects, finally acted up for the very first time. I don't know

It's been showering since last night, the sky is grey but the temperature is just perfect 21 degree in Celcius. Noelle and me get along together very well, which means she ate her brekkie and finished her milk without fuss. While she enjoys her morning TV shows as well as playing with her toys in her room, I decluttered my sewing table so I can enjoy looking at my sewing machine and colourful

she will never pose nicely whenever or wherever i asked her. especially when there were toys around. so i opt to take candid shots, i've just finished changing her nappy and try the new onesie on. perfect sizing for her, still plenty of room left to grow until next year maybe?

after months of looking for cheap yet fitted 2T-3T onesie for noelle and never succeed, i finally decided to make our own onesie. i studied existing onesie, got the tutorial from this talented lady NAOMI and started to make it. and since i am a thrifty mama, i do not want to spend a cent on buying knit fabric so i just go to my junk pile and decided that the victim was an old tank from POLO, i

today i commited a crime. i killed my dad's old sweater! he bought it when he went to england like 10 years ago, and it was a souvenir from Warwick Castle. it was big (XL), warm (love it) but he just never wear it (maybe because jakarta is too hot for this kind of sweater). i stole it from his wardrobe about two years ago and he didn't even notice!!!! i love the embossed thingy on the chest, so

i really really like mickey mouse and still wear clothing with mickey mouse on it until i was in senior high school. so, when i browse for fabrics on ebay, my eyes were stunned when i saw this mickey on white, cotton knit, 1.5mx1.20m, and it was a buy it now for $3. without further consideration, i clicked the button, and the fabric became mine. and what made it even better, the seller lives in

today we spent the afternoon at jolimont park. we used to take morning stroll here when we live in wembley. but now that we live in balcatta, we come to jolimont park only on weekend before church or weekdays before pick up my husband at his office. noelle loves to play in the playground, she loves to climb up the stairs and going down on the slides. lately she loves to "read" the letters on the

a stripey 100% lambswool, bought at salvo's store last week. the moment i laid my eyes on this jumper, i fell in love with this cream, red and greyish brown thingy. too bad it's too small for me, brand ALEX & Co, size UK 10 while i am a 12-14. but i really have to have it. i paid AU$4.99 to take it home with me, and paid more for the dry cleaning.i have to use every bit of this jumper. so i

i really like this top, bought last year when noelle was about 8 month.. it's cotton on kids, size 1-2. she wore it until she was almost 1 year because the top became too tight in the armpit area, a bit short on the sleeves as well as the hem, it shows her belly when she moves and i don't like it. so, refashioning came across my mind. i was thinking about cutting the sleeves, but i think i really

i got two acne, it feels sore, annoying and i really really need to get rid of them. i dont know why they pop up in my face, is it because i ate too much cheese or what? the first acne is on my ear, sit low near the pierced area. it doesnt look like acne, i mean no redness, no bump with signs for eruption, but everytime i pressed my ear, i can feel a small ball, hard and sore.. it came about a

can you imagine how sinful this dish? it's eggplant, baked with tomato sauce, mozarella and cheddar cheese. i was longing for this dish ever since i tasted that entree at singapore art museum tratoria. i forgot the name, but it was 4 pieces of eggplant baked with something that taste like lasagna sauce but there was no beef on it, and it has the gooey-ness from mozarella.. yummo!so i googled and

i love carrot cake, just love it, love it, love it. PERIOD. first time i heard about carrot cake was when i watched andy garcia & meg ryan in the movie "when a man loves a woman". my mouth was suddenly dry as the result of imagining the moist grated carrot inside a cake with frosting.. yummm... and my obsession with banana cake suddenly gone :pbut my obsession with this healthy-for-your-eye- cake

i really like spending time on the beach, but i dont like sunbathing (i already have tanned skin), or swimming (not knowing the base is a major phobia for me). well, you could call me weirdo i just don't care. i just love beach and you can see i put a lot of beach photos this year :)when i was younger, i went to the beach to talk to my self. a lot. especially when i was upset. i used to smoke on

i've got nothing to do while my hands nagging to touch something, so i decided to spice up noelle's winter knit hat. it was purchased last year, pink and deep pink knitted tightly, wrap her head perfectly and had a bit coverage for ear and back neck area. autumn is just around the corner so i think this hat will be around anytime soon.to be honest, i dont like pink but i bought it anyway because

autumn is just around the corner so i had to make time to make this blanket for my hubby. i imagine it would be comfy to snug under this blanket while watching our favourite programme :) i purchased the stripes polar fleece fabric for just $2, and the green polar fleecy fabric for $4 (both named polar fleece but they different, the green one is like a soft fluffy sweatshirt). i did not buy any

it happened just like i imagined. she fell when i was in the same room but i can not reach her. i was in the kitchen, she rode her rocking chair, turned it upside down, step on the frame and fell to the coffee table. she cried, loud. it was something that i never heard before.i ran from kitchen, i hugged her, rocked her gently, and rub her head to her back. she clinged to me tightly. 3 minutes

oh boy, i think i am trully mad about noelle, everything i did, it must be for noelle.. including these pillowcases.. store bought fitted sheets only give two pillowcases, while noelle's bed has 4 pillows. so two will be the same color with the sheet, while the other two would be a borrowed pair from other color sheets, and in our house they are white, grey, cream and brown like choco milk sets.

i am really really in to green lifestyle.. that's why i started to refashioning clothes, and pay a visit (or two) to thrift stores to find bargain clothing/stuff. sometimes i found a brand new t-shirt or dress for cheap! and perfect for my (learning to) sewing project because i hate to spend money on textile shops for my "unpredictable" projects result :Dif you never considered refashioning your

I've got Mie Ayam Jamur Gajah Mada cravings since weekend, so I googled the recipe and got tons of them. I picked several that I really think delicious and got the photo to justify (I know I am that shallow hehe).. Finally I mixed three recipes and got my own Mie Ayam Jamur a la GM.It is a simple dish, noodle, chicken and mushroom, a bit bok choy, spring onion, fried shallot and clear chicken

hari ini kami bersenang-senang menikmati libur nasional Australian Day! yang senang pastinya abenk (dan pekerja lainnya) karena setelah weekend sabtu minggu, hari senin kerja, eeeh hari selasa libur.. dan bukan hanya di indonesia yang menganut budaya harpitnas, disini juga banyak yang calling in "sickie". selain abenk, noelle juga senang karena ada agenda hiburan gratis dari city of perth buat

beberes lemari pakaian saya menyimpulkan saya harus berpisah sama sejumlah pakaian yang sudah tidak pernah dipakai lagi, salah satunya tank top kesayangan. saya suka warnanya yang biru kobalt bergaris putih, temanya nautikal. rasanya sayang untuk membuang/mendonasi karena motifnya itu. dan rasa enggan berpisah menghasilkan ide untuk tetap memilikinya dengan cara mendaur ulang si tank top jadi

wow, time travels REAL fast. my baby noelle now turn from baby into toddler, a very young child. well, still infant or baby if you rely on clothing labels and airplane tickets who listed 0-24 months as baby, and 2year above as child. but i saw in my baby formula, NAN HA for toddler 1-3 year.. and factually, i won't call noelle as a baby because she's now so big, growing tall, walking on her own,

tepat setahun lalu, 20 desember 2008 pukul 01 saya sedang mengejan berusaha mengeluarkan makhluk kecil yang sudah berjam-jam melakukan goyang ngebor a la inul daratista dalam perut saya.. akhirnya dia keluar pukul 01.17, diiringi lagu goyang duyu dari mulut DSOG saya..sekarang, makhluk kecil yang bernama noelle felicita itu sudah bisa jalan sendiri, ngoceh, ikut beberes isi kopernya, dan sekarang

noelle and baby rosaryFinally, we christened Noelle, and she is now officially God's Child. Hopefully Our Lord Jesus Christ always keep her in His love and care. Gosh, I feel like a trully parent now.. Before, I used to think that I am just a mother who gave birth to a child, care, nurture, stimulate her 24/7, but now I really do have a bigger responsibility for bring her into this world, this

TAAADAAAAAA!!!Finally I tried the Kraftfoods recipe for oreo no bake cheesecake.. It was simple, easy and delicious, I am proud of my very first cheesecake. Hey, don't laugh at me, I hate cooking/baking or in other word I hate being in the kitchen, so my no bake cheesecake is a HUGE success for me :)) I think this cheesecake will be noelle's first project when she's old enough to help me in the

Noelle turned 11 months old on November 20th. God bless her with good health and lots of lots laughter.. She's trully a wonderful baby eventhough now she's a bit more like a daredevil instead of a princess :p Actually, I don't know what to write, the words are jumping in my head but I got writer's block and poor time management so I don't have time to write.

saya tergelitik nulis soal jadi inem karena melihat status teman (di Facebook) yang mengeluhkan kerjaan rumah tangga yang menumpuk dan dia bingung mau mulai dari mana.. masalahnya baju kotor menumpuk, cucian bersih menunggu disetrika, piring2 kotor di kitchen sink, sampah yang belum dibuang..nah, kawan2 dari teman saya ini memberikan komen yang bernada sama, menyamakan si teman saya dengan INEM..

dinamika hidup lelaki dan perempuan dalam rumah yang cuma punya satu watercloset (WC), benar2 butuh toleransi tinggi, maksudnya buat si pihak perempuan.. karena perempuan memakai toilet berikut toilet seat dalam setiap kegiatan di kamar kecil.. mau pipis kek, mau poep kek, pasti toilet seat diduduki..kaum lelaki, yang gaya pipisnya berdiri, sebetulnya punya tempat pipis khusus, namanya urinoir (

sepanjang 24 jam terakhir, berita di televisi setempat menyoroti beberapa hal yang membuat saya harus makin sering mengucapkan syukur dan terimakasih karena Tuhan begitu baik kepada saya dan orang-orang sekitar saya..pertama, wawancara sweta varma.. itu lho, ibu muda yang dengan anak bayi-nya dalam babypram menunggu kereta bawah tanah di melbourne, kereta anaknya itu meluncur ke rel tanpa dia

ketika kita masih kecil, berjalan dan jatuh tersandung batu, (hampir semua) ibu kita berkata, "batu nakal, batu jahat, lihat nih Bunga sampai terjatuh dan berdarah." ternyata, sadar atau tidak sadar, sejak kecil kita sudah diajari tentang kambing hitam dan pengalihan tanggung jawab atas semua kesalahan dan kelakuan kita.oh iya, bukan hanya dari pengasuh yg "mengajar salah". tayangan televisi juga
