I browsed DSLR camera price (again!) I found that sony A-200K with price tag 294 eur,or 4.5 million rupiahs. Even in Indonesia I will never found this type of camera within this range of price.It would be more expensive in Indonesia. To be concise it’s a great deal.
I’d like to buy it, but I’m officially broke, I don’t have any job, should I ask my dad to buy it for me? Or should I just give the money to victims of Situ Gintung?
I probably want to live in Japan, taking a doctoral course about very large floating structure, while taking care of my only child, and off course I’d like to deliver my child abroad. I will prefer to live with my husband who just taking his master degree.
This week I had a terrible sore throat and unfortunately the only food that left is lasagna, I didn’t want to eat lasagna due to the oil.
I really need something to warm my throat and as an energy supply so I could study during the exam. There were several options crossed on my mind. First thing that crossed on my mind is Nasi tim (steamed rice), but I don’t have steamer so I skipped the option, and then bubur ayam (chicken porridge) I’m pretty bored with chicken so I also skipped that. My last option is Bubur Manado or Tinutuan porridge it’s easy to make and also warms my throat.
Why did those options came across my mind?My mother is a culinary adventurer, every time one of her children got cold she always gave them warm food like porridge or steamed rice, and as time goes by we knew where is the best place to buy those foods.
Afterward every time I got sick I always want to eat porridge or just warm food, now I’m living in Netherland hence I have to cook my own food even though when I am sick.
So I browsed for the recipe but eventually the ingredients is rather hard for me to find, so I make my own version of this porridge. I called it Tinutuan version lazy student
Ingredients:
300 gr bulgur (I found it on Turkish shop, I think it’s a wheat grain it’s quicker to cook than rice)
1500 ml water
200 gr sweet potato (in Holland: rode zoet aardpellen)
10 blocks of iced spinach
2 garlic
150 gr cut sweet corn
100 gr smoked salmon (gerookte salmon) I used it because I couldn’t find salted fish
2 laurier leaves (daun salam)
1 sereh
salt + pepper + sugar according to your taste
Preparations:
cook bulgur with boiled water and occasionally stir it so it wont stick to the pan
peel the sweet potato and cut cubically about 2×2x2 (I can’t find appropriate word for kotak2)
once the bulgur is half cooked add the potato, corn, finely chopped garlic and stir it’s cooked
add the frozen spinach and salmon, daun salam and sereh add about 100 ml water stir it
and add sugar, salt and pepper and cook until the water is fully absorb.
Serve it warm
They said that it’s best if you serve it with sambal tomat, but again I’m not into the hot and spicy food.
While you can’t the taste please enjoy the picture! 
A friend of mine is a campus activist, when I talked with him or just listened to his stories I felt so small.
He, who has same age as I do already did a lot of thing in the world in the name of idealism and nationalism.
Me who is still struggling with my quarter life crisis and hate to think deeply about my future and prefer to go with the flow than stuck in a problem.
I don’t know which one is better, but when I talked to him I felt that my life is worse, I never thought about my future, my country, and what should I do to improve the quality of my surrounding.Kinda sucks.
Makes me felt tired being me.
will I ever get a chance to improve my surrounds?or just to improve my self, I guess the answer to that question is I’ll never get a chance unless I look for it.
Today, I feel like I’m the most useless person in the world, so helpless and I even couldn’t even help myself
I know I should prepare for exam or just working on my assignment but eventually I just spent my day in front of my laptop doing something that makes not worth to live as a student.
I have a bad habit to call my boyfriend, and if we had a lengthty conversation it will be end up in fight, and after the fight I didn’t have any desire to do anything, good for him (because he can do whatever he wants to do) but bad for me (I finally spent my day with watching comedy TV series)
Come to think of it I know I should make a breakthough, say on my studying style, I should encourage myself to study at least 8 hours per week, to prepare the report and working on assignments, try to pass 23 ECTS so I could start my thesis next quarter.
But first of all I have to get my butt off from my glued laptop chair.
I feel uneasy about my condition
My heart always filled with doubt
I know what should I do but I feel lazy to start it
I really don’t like my condition now
I need encourage
I need a push
I need everything that could put me on my best performance
I need a breakthrough
I need to break my own shell
I need to be more confidence
I need love
with so much demand in this world
I need to stand still against all the bad thing that could turn me into my night mare
God, I’m begging you
Give me a stronger heart that could defeat any frown
Give me a stronger feet so I could walk further
but most of all
give me a power to accept anything that I couldn’t change
-Jaiyo Dira!-
