Laper T_T
Lupa kalo Jumat kantin forum ga buka buat dinner
Memang jarang beli makan di forum sih, apalagi dinner

Lihat mas bule yang duduk di meja depan bawa roti tawar sebungkusan
Berasa lagi di rumah aja
Anteng banget dari tadi, duduk sendiri, ngolesin roti pake sesuatu yang ada di dalam kaleng warna merah, satu per satu
Pelan tapi pasti
Ga kayak kita, pelan tapi ga pasti
#apasih


Sekarang isi bungkusannya udah tinggal setengah
Tapi aku mau ke radix dulu, sholat Ashar
Masih hujan ga ya di luar..
Tapi males pake jaket, yaudahlah gini aja
Biar berasa dinginnya
Biar ga cuma hatinya doang yang dingin
#abaikan


Udah beres sholat nih, tapi masih laper T_T
Mas nya udah ga ada tapi
Ga tau deh itu bungkusan diabisin atau ga sama dia
Gila ya bule-bule ini
Sehari makannya roti tawar sebungkus
Lah aku sama acha sebungkus kayaknya bisa buat seminggu
Beberapa kali lihat ada yg bawa botol minum 1.5 liter
Aku yang botolnya cuma 500ml aja kadang masih nyisa
Heu
Lagian gimana rasanya kalo tas diisi botol 1.5 liter
Tambah bekal, tambah laptop, tambah pernak-pernik lain yang sebenarnya tak berfaedah tapi selalu ada dalem tas
Apa rasanya di pundak
Belum lagi ditambah beban hidup
Ha ha
*baca ha ha nya datar aja, jangan pake ketawa ya
hahaha


Ada Rocky dateng, ikutan duduk bareng aku sama resti
Ngebuka bekal dinner
Lauknya tempe orek sama telur dadar
Dapat 2 suap, alhamdulillah
Rezeki anak sholeh
Betewe, sebenernya orek itu bahasa apa ya?
Indonesia? Jawa?
Terus kenapa dibilang telur dadar? Bukan telur datar?
Dadar itu artinya apa?
Duh, jadi pengen telur dadar
Pake bawang, tomat, cabenya yang banyak T_T
Nikmat dunia
Heu


Hmm
Ini mau turun ke ground floor, latihan angklung, besok mau perform yeay
Tapi males, bentar deh 5 menit lagi
Yaudah aku latihan dulu ya


Safe!
Akhirnya nyampe di kamar tercinta, fiuh
Tadi di luar agak gerimis dikit, dingin banget
Jalanan sepi, sempat ngebayangin gimana kalo tiba-tiba ada zombie keluar dari saluran air yang di pinggir jalan
Zombie bisa naik sepeda ga ya?


Dapet makanan dari Andhani, alhamdulillah
Rezeki anak sholeh lagii
Tumben itu bocah masak
Lagi stress padahal, gara-gara proposal tesis
Abis ketemu supervisor trus dibilang ga boleh pulang ngambil data sampe at least akhir bulan depan
Trus dianya stress kerna orang-orang udah pada balik dan mulai ngerjain tesis
Heu..kasian
Semoga lancar ya, sampe selesai -love-


Oiya besok kami mau nampil di taman nasional Hoge Veluwe yang ke arah Arnhem
Tempatnya baguuss, ada kok aku upload di instagram fotonya, kalo mau lihat
Lagunya ada 4: Grenade, Ayo Mama, Can't Smile without You, sama apa ya judul satunya lagi,
bentar tak cek dulu
Judulnya Besame Mucho
Yang Besame Mucho bagus deh, suka lagunya
Berasa pengen dansa kalo dengar musiknya
*kayak tau aja caranya dansa
**kayak ada temennya aja buat dansa
-_-


Udah hampir jam 1
Aku mau siap-siap tidur deh ya
At least butuh setengah jam baru bisa tidur, biasanya, kecuali kalo lagi laper (jadi makin lama, bukan makin cepet loh)
Besok bakal di luar seharian, uh!
Mesti kuat!


Fijn weekend, semoga weekend kali ini menyenangkan :)

My blood, sweat and tears
My last dance
Take it all away, go
My blood, sweat and tears
My cold breath
Take it all away, go
My blood, sweat and tears
My blood, sweat and tears as well
My body, heart and soul as well
Is yours, I know
This is an spell to punish me

Peaches and cream
Sweeter than sweet
Chocolate cheeks
And chocolate wings
But your wings are those of a demon
That sweetness of yours is in front of bitterness bitterness

Kiss me even if it hurts
Come, tighten me up
Until it can’t even hurt anymore
Baby, even if I get drunk it’s alright, I’ll now drink you up
Deep into my throat, with you as the whiskey

My blood, sweat and tears

Grasp me firmly and shake me
So I can’t gather my mind together
Kiss me on the lips lips
A secret between just the two of us
I’m deeply addicted to the prison that is you
I can’t serve anyone else that isn’t you
I swallowed the Holy Grail that is poisonous
Even when I knew it was

My blood, sweat and tears
My last dance
Take it all away, go

My cold breath
Take it all away, go

I want many many many many

Close my eyes with your hand

I can no longer even run away
You’re too sweet, too sweet
Because you’re too sweet

My blood, sweat and tears

Indonesian Cuisine - Dendeng Balado

Finalliiihhhhhh!!!!
After all this time!!
Akhirnyah makan dendeng balado lagih XD (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
After contemplating with myself quite for a long time, whether or not to put too much effort in my cooking,
I gave up. Hahahaa
I ended up buying 1 kg of meat yesterday and decided to make my 'one week lunch'
(which means that this whole following week will full of meat. haha)
So that I don't have to wake up too early in the morning just to cook.
I think this can also count as not-putting-too-much-effort on cooking, eh. Haha

So I made Dendeng Balado (or Dendeng Batokok) using half of the meat and Rendang for the other half.
As far as I know, dendeng is originally made by Minangkabau ethnic group (the people who live in West Sumatera).
They make the meat dried so that it can last longer and you can also bring it with you when you travel for days (kan ceritanya anak rantau).
As well as dendeng, rendang is also an authentic food from West Sumatera. Western people usually called it West Sumatran caramelised beef curry.
Yes, actually I am not from this region, I was born and grew up in North Sumatera (where most of the people are Bataknese).
However, my grandfather is from Minangkabau tribe and my grandmother is half Malay and half Mandailing (if I'm not wrong). Mandailing is part of Bataknese ethnic group but they have a big influence (especially its culinary) from Minangkabau because the origin place is close to West Sumatera (southern part of North Sumatera and just near the border of West Sumatera).
That's also why most of Mandailing group are Muslim. Since Islam is the most dominant religion in West Sumatera.
Oke, enough with all those history stuff.


No Pic Hoax. So here is the proof of my dearest dendeng balado :D

Now I will give you the recipe :D
I got it from my beloved Mom, whom I called every time I want to try 'advance' Indonesian cuisine. Hehe

DENDENG BALADO
(thinly sliced dried meat served with chilli, onion and tomato sauce

- 1/2 kg beef (it's up to you to cut it in small pieces first or just season it the way it is. Just make sure that your cooking pot will be enough for the seasoning)

First, you will need to boil the meet with some ingredients (seasoning), which are:
- 4 onion (note: Indonesian onion is usually small. if you use the big red onion, then make it 1)
- 5 garlic
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp coriander
- 1 tsp white cumin
- 1/2 piece of star anise
- 1 cardamom
- 1 tsp ginger (~1x1 cm if you use fresh ginger instead of ginger powder)
- 1 sereh
- 1-2 tsp salt

=> Mix all the ingredients (I would recommend using blender)
=> Add water (Just use your feeling. If you think it will make all the meat drowned under the water then it's good. But make sure that you don't use too much water. So that it will be more effective for the seasoning. And of course, it's more environment-friendly. Wkwkwkk)
=> Add the meat to the water and let it boil

I'm not sure how long it takes, haha.. I just use my feeling. But make sure not to cook it too long because it can make the meat too chewy. Note that this step aim to add some seasoning in the meat, so that it will taste good even without any sauce. Plus if you cook it right, it can also make the meat soft.

=> Cut the meat into small pieces and make it flat. I use pestle. You can use any similar tools.
=> Fry the thin slices meat in oil (not so healthy, eh). But if you think it is better not to use oil and want to bake it instead, just try. However, this is how we usually do it. Fry until it becomes brown-black so that we can have crispy meat (I prefer it to be not so crispy though). It is up to you if you want it to be fully dried or not.
=> Now let's prepare the sauce. Here are the ingredients:

- 8 onion (2 if you use the big red onion), or adjust it according to your preference. I love onion so I put a lot.
- chilli (You can use 2 different kinds of chilli, the big red chilli and the small one - thai chilli). The small chilli is a lot spicier than the big one. So if you want it to be spicy, use lots of small chillies. For the big red chilli, 3-5 are enough. In my case, I don't have the big one, so I only use the small chilli.
- 1 tomato, cut in small pieces
- brown sugar (just enough, maybe 2x1 if it's in block or 1-2 tsp if it's powder). Once again, I just use my feeling. Haha. Add a little and taste it when you fry the spices (later step), if you like it to be sweeter then add more.
- 1 tsp tamarind (it is actually called 'asam jawa' and not the fresh tamarind. It looks like candied tamarind. I'm not sure). However, because I don't have any, I just use a slice of lime to add some sour taste. haha
- salt


=> Mix the onion, chilli, brown sugar and tamarind. I use pestle and mortar (or 'ulekan'). We don't use blender because we need the spices not to be finely grounded. So it's better to manually grind it. Some extra effort for a better taste. Haha
=> Fry all the ingredients (the grounded spices and tomato) with enough oil and add salt
=> Wait until it smells delicious then add the meat
=> Stir until all meat is covered with the sauce (maybe 3-5 minutes?). Don't forget to taste it before you turn off the stove. If you want it to be sweeter - add brown sugar, more sour - add tamarind or lime, more salty - add salt, more spicy - add pepper powder. If you think the taste is great then it's finished! It's time to eat! Haha


Selamat mencoba!!!

NB: I don't have enough time to include Rendang recipe. Maybe try to find it on other website? :D

Catching Up

Hai hai, it has been such a long time. Hehe
The last post was in April and I'm thinking of what I've been doing those whole 5 months, not being able to write any single post.
Heu.
Now I really need to make a promise with my own self. I have to write at least once a month. Deal.
No procrastination. No, no. (No no, I don't need nobody)


Well, so many things happened since April.

I failed two of my courses, did the re-exam in August, and barely managed to pass.
Hmm, but actually one of them was the first A for me. Haha. The first A and I'm so happy, then you can already guess what kind of grades I have so far. Haha. No worries.
Oke, enough about grades and courses.


Ramadhan was such an amazing month for me. I was quite sure that I would not be able to do it.
It was 18 hours of fasting! Everyday! Heol! But THANK GOD I DID IT!
Never been so proud of me. Haha
That's why you should not put any limit on yourself :D
Just do it and you will know.


For the first time in my life, I celebrated Eid Al-Fitr without my family, here in a place far from home.
We prayed at a mosque in Ede (me and some other Indonesian students in Wageningen).
Despite the khutbah was in Arabic, everyone was happy. There was no reason not to be happy anyway! :D
We even got free bread that served at the mosque's yard after praying. Alhamdulillah.


We went to England in early of June, the day after Eid. You won't believe if I say that we only spent 2 euros for the return ticket.
Hahahahahaa. Well, it's up to you to believe it or not.
But we did only spent 2 euros for the bus return ticket to London - Victoria Couch Station, from Eindhoven (or Arnhem? not sure).
We went to Eastern Europe in July. Budget traveler, of course.
Dengan kata lain: hari-hari dipenuhi bis penderitaan. Haha
And summer summed up after we went to Scotland for 10 days in the end of August. Horang kayah
But it was worth it. I doubt I will be able to do this all travelling thing next year. With all of the thesis and internship kind of stuff.
I'll try to write each of the episodes separately later :)


Now I'm doing the European Workshop course. It's a project-based course, involving a total of 27 students working for a single client. The study area is Prague. The topic is about climate change adaptation option in case of blue and green infrastructure. We are going to Prague at the end of this month, two weeks long, for data collection and observation. Hope we will get fruitful result in the end :)
I like both my Geo-Group and Expert Group. This will be my first time working with Dutch students (can't believe it, eh. haha).
I will also write about this project later, or maybe after we finished :)
(*I promised many things today already. haha)


Oiya, sekarang lagi fangirling BTS sama B1A4. Hahahah (terlalu excited, english-nya gone. LOL)
Selera musik berubah drastis. Well, not necessarily changed, but maybe it's better to say that now I'm more open to all kind of music.
Sekarang jadi suka dengerin lagu indie (walaupun masih pilih2). Yang paling ga banget (at least before, I thought so) adalah sekarang jadi suka banget lagu2 BTS! O may, ternyata mereka keren banget lah. Lagu-lagunya semua penuh makna. Memang awalnya terdengar 'keras' buat orang yang tipikal lagunya menye-menye kayak aku gini. Tapi ternyata addicting. BTS ada tanda-tanda mau rilis album dalam waktu dekat. Teaser-nya kece badai. Ples bikin creepy, kerna ternyata semua cerita dibalik MV-nya masih berhubungan sama album-album sebelumnya, bahkan dari jaman Danger! Heol!! Super keren. Ga sabar nunggu release XD

Drama tetep jalan, lagi banyak ngikutin drama (drama jalan, fangirling jalan, kapan belajarnya. heu).
Dari mulai drama absurd sampe drama kacangan. Drama W yang lagi hits banget, sampe drama kacang kayak Cinderella and Four Knights aja ditonton lah. Ga paham lagi.

Just another kind of procrastination.
The Belbin test is indeed true. I'm a team worker, type of people who avoid stress.
Always trying to live in the moment.
Not to say an excuse.

Well, I wrote a lot (which I spent hours because I can't wait to watch Moon Lover and had to stop in the middle. Ha).
I'll see you in a couple of days (or weeks?). Annyeong.
