Live Life

Wow it's been 3 months I lost from blog world, and you know what? I'm kinda miss to blog! It means that I still have the desire to write something to share with everyone. So forgive me for my absence, and I try to blog regularly this time.

For the opening of my comeback maybe I just share a little bit of my thoughts lately. I've been stressed out with my works and the responsibility to earn money for my future. In these 3 months, I had a lot of talks with a lot of best friends. Seems like I haven't found my really passion yet, so I still try to figure out what would I love to do so I can earn money happily, without pressure but of course with so much passion. Maybe someone wanna help me out?

But beyond all of my tiring thoughts, I feel so lucky to have a lot of friends that always support me whenever I need it. Maybe it's God's way to show how lucky I am until now, coz I had precious people I need in my life. So it's all depend on me now, whether I want to develop myself to be a better person with the help of all those precious people or not. Hopefully yes, I will be a better person.

Tokyo Belly

Gosh... It's been two weeks since my last post! Been so busy lately especially on February. I really hope that March will be more nice to me. Not much energy left coz I still have so much works to do even on weekend! Can I scream out loud?

Just a quick post about last Saturday (and I post it today on Saturday too). I went to Grand Indonesia Shopping Town to meet my bestie coz I haven't met her for about 2 months. Have a quick dinner before she went for a movie with her boyfriend. So I just wanna share about the new restaurant I tried last Saturday.

Had dinner at a pretty new restaurant named Tokyo Belly. It replaced Mr. Curry but still with almost the same style menu as Mr. Curry. As we enter the restaurant, we can smell the curry aroma. And oh yes it's specialize in Japanese Food.

still with soft opening menu

love their logo

 

 

love their ambience

love the ceiling so much! 

Chicken Katsu Curry Rice - IDR 58K

rate by me : 7 out of 10 

Salmon Ikura Horenso Omurice - IDR 58K

rate by me : 7.5 out of 10

Seared Salmon Taco Bites - IDR 38K

rate by me : 7.5 out of 10

Mixed Mushroom Tempura - IDR 38K

rate by me : - (didn't taste it coz I don't like mushroom)

Overall their food taste pretty nice with pretty nice ambience too. But the service is pretty slow even the place isn't really crowded and there's a lot of waitresses! Gosh... They should improve their service quality I think.

And last but not least, my office look a like outfit! Finally I wore this blazer coz I never wear it since I bought it for about 2-3 months ago! Also a picture of me and my lovely bestie, Yunita!

Jala Jala Restaurant

As you guys know that this Sunday (February 10th '2013) we will celebrate Chinese New Year. So yesterday - me, my mom, and my auntie went to ITC Mangga Dua for shopping. We were looking for new clothes to wear on Chinese New Year. We saw a lot of red color in almost every shop there, because Chinese New Year is identical to the red color. Aaannnddd luckily I found three (yes three) very nice dresses with such sooo affordable prices!

Then as I arrived home, my mom said that there's no food for dinner at home. So me and family decided to have dinner outside. I suggested to try Jala Jala Restaurant at Mall Taman Anggrek, because my family never try it (I tried it once before).

As we got there, we need to wait for 6 group of people to be able to seat on an empty table. Luckily we just need to wait for about 20 minutes, because the restaurant is pretty big so it has a fair amount of tables.

 Xiao Long Bao - IDR 40K

rate by me : 6.5 out of 10

Hatosi Rambutan - IDR 16K

rate by me : 7 out of 10

Ikan Saus Ala Thai - IDR 46K

rate by me : 5 out of 10

Hot Plate Sapi - IDR 42K

rate by me : 7 out of 10

Sup Kepiting Asparagus - IDR 19K

rate by me : 5 out of 10

Mapo Tahu - IDR 23.5K

rate by me : 5 out of 10

The taste is just so so, that even my sister didn't finish her meal because she doesn't like the food (she usually eat pretty much). I'm not sure that I wanna get back here again but some of their food taste quite nice actually.

Saw this Chinese Zodiac info in main atrium of the mall, which shows my Chinese Zodiac - Snake. It explains a bit about Snake person, but yeah you can't believe it for 100%. Read it just for fun. No one really knows everything except God, right? :)

Joni Steak

Saturday means weekend means have fun, but I have a lot works to do yesterday that I got stuck at home almost all day long. Thank's God I managed to finish my work before late at night and still have a little time for a quick escape. Had a late dinner at Joni Steak with my sister and a friend.

Those who live in Jakarta maybe already heard about Joni Steak. As I went there, I need to wait for an empty table because it's so crowded. Thank's God (again) because I don't need to wait too long *starving mode on*. Haha...

Joni Steak Menu

 Tenderloin Steak (Import) with black pepper sauce - IDR 52K

rate by me : 6.5 out of 10

 Fish & Chips - IDR 32K

rate by me : 4 out of 10

Tenderloin Steak (Import) with mushroom sauce - IDR 52K

rate by me : 6.5 out of 10

Me and sister want the steak to be medium well but we don't know why they're so chewy to be bitten. Didn't really enjoy the steak as usual. And oh the fish & chips is bad that even my friend can't figure what kind of fish it is.

And last but not least, a glimpse of my super casual outfit. Love this t-shirt so much! LOL!

Outfit Detail :

t-shirt : unbranded

shorts jeans : unbranded

bag : Gaudi

First Wedding of 2013

Last Saturday, me and family attended the first wedding reception of 2013. It's the nephew of my mom's sister in law wedding, which took place at Intercontinental Midplaza Hotel. We almost canceled to attend the wedding because of heavy rain, but when we arrived there we saw crowd that shows us heavy rain won't prevent people to come. Even the day before there's floods near the hotel area, people aren't afraid to come eh? 

The wedding itself is full of personages, such as economist, interfaith person, reputable bank commissioner, etc. I knew it from daddy but I don't even know any of them, except my neighbor. Haha... I think I should read or watch news more often maybe, so I won't be left behind.

So here's some of pictures of me with my lovely family at the wedding reception. Went there with my mom, dad, sister, and cousin. One of my cousin even came from Padang just to attend this wedding reception.

Jakarta Floods

Never thought that my second post will be about floods of my beloved hometown, Jakarta! As Jakarta residents here are struggling between still try to go to their office or try to go home, I already sit in my office since 10 am coz my house is so close to my office. Although my body is in the office, but not with my thoughts and intentions. *sigh*

So here's some of pictures I got from internet that show how my capital city turn into capital lake or capital sea maybe? And don't forget when floods come, traffic jam will follow! x_x

So just let's pray that it will end so soon and hopefully never happen again. Sending my pray to all people who need to struggle coz of floods that already reached their house. Be safe people!
