Gak ada kangkung, gak ada bayam Indonesia,kacang panjang juga jarang ada di Asian Shop terdekat. kemarin iseng beli rahmspinat (bayam ala Jerman yang udah dipotong kecil-kecil dan difrozen) buat dibikin sayur bobor. Enak juga lho...gak pahit kayak kalau beli bayam Jerman yang fresh. Gue makannya pake tempe goreng, sambal sama krupuk udang. http://zbethz.multiply.com/recipes/item/63/Sayur_Bobor_Bayam Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:08:37 -0000 Chicken Spätzle Maksudnya mau bikin <a href="http://zbethz.multiply.com/recipes/item/59/Mie_Yamien">mi ayam ala Pepy</a>. lagi, tapi baru kelar bikin ayam jamurnya, si D masuk dapur dan 'memodifikasi' masakan gue.

Yes. Having moved to Germany from 3rd country, Indonesia, had me thinking how creative people in Indonesia to keep alive. As a developing country, where government don't have much money (or not clever enough to arrange the money?) to feed its citizen, people have to find his own way to raise money for a plate of food. Here in Germany, everything is 'under control'. If suddenly the office you work for is bankrupt, no worries, you will still receive money from Arbeitamts. You can raise money without working, just by making baby as much as you want cos government will pay you per head of kids. If you, as a private have loan to several companies or shops, no worries...after 7 years (or 8 years?), your loan will be deleted. In Indonesia, if your office suddenly have to close down, then you will down on your knees. Even Javanese people said more kids means more luck, but no one will give you kindergeld, you have to feed your own kids by your own. There is no such thing like Arbei... http://zbethz.multiply.com/journal/item/573/NO_country_for_lazy_people Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:13:00 -0000 'Reading' people from their writing style For me, the way someone writes in their blog somehow shows their personality. No, I’m not talking about what are they writing about, but more about their writing style. It’s proven already many times, including when I met some friends from this multiply. E.g <a href="http://suzievivian.multiply.com/journal">mbak Suzan</a>; she always write or give reply in funny way, so many laugh and those ‘grins’ icons. And indeed, when I met her in person, she is like that! Lot of laugh, happy person and so funny. With her is always a happy day. But doesn't mean that she can not be serious as well.   Another one I met in person is <a href="http://mindri.multiply.com/journal">mbak Indri.</a> Her writing really describes her personality, calm, sweet, romantic, poetic...So I would be surprise if she suddenly write story with 'wakakakakka!!!'  and then 'ROFL' or 'rolling eyes' and others silly icon. She- of course- can do it as well but I guess at that time she is  really really amused of something. Then some people here also have several characters in their writing style.

I don't know how did it start, I just used to it. When I signed something in school last time, Miko-the guy who works there ,quite amused to see how I hold the pen while writing. He tried to do it also but failed. Then he told his colleagues how interesting to see a Chinese holding a pen. I then tried to explain that I'm not Chinese and the way how I hold the pen has nuthing to do with race or nationality. But then the problem was getting more interesting, not about how I hold the pen but about the race itself, cos then the guy said, "but you are Asian." "Yes but do you know that Indian and Japanese are also Asian? And they are not Chinese." "Are you saying that you are Japanese? Are you Indian? You come from Indonesia, right? It's  your nationality, but I'm talking about your race." "Yes, by nationality I'm Indonesian but by ... http://zbethz.multiply.com/journal/item/571/My_race Thu, 6 Nov 2008 14:48:00 -0000 Funny photo collections of HIM Not saying that I'm one of his fans...But these photos are simply funny and humanist hehe...

On Wednesday, four people came to replace our window with the new ones. Considered that the work would take at least 7 hours, I and D decided to go to wellness center. So there we went, to a place called Aqualand – Köln. We did everything there, from just lying down, swimming, sliding, doing massage, sauna Jacuzzi and even sleeping. And what was so special? Bloody hell... Even I read already about this <a href="http://zbethz.multiply.com/reviews/item/38">naked culture</a>, I was still shock to see so many ‘elephants’ and ‘papayas’ in sauna area. We have sauna also here in our apartment complex, but so far not many people go there and none of them are total naked. It took really a big courage to be total naked among several –also- naked people. First I went to Turkey something sauna which had a lot of steam smoke, so you can barely see if someone else also there. Inside this smoky area I felt safe - naked. Not forget to mention, that I bought special wardrobe to wear when walking around in sauna lounge where most other ... http://zbethz.multiply.com/journal/item/568/Go_nude Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:26:00 -0000 Teresa <a href="http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd196/maessfamily/?action=view&current=tb5M.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd196/maessfamily/tb5M.jpg" border="0" alt="Teresa"></a> Friends come and go.

Kami pilih resto ini instead of Warung Bali untuk perayaan lebaran karena pas lihat menu di websitenya Warung Bali, banyak banget menu b.a.b.i nya hehe...Tapi of course, namanya juga kulinari Bali, kita maklum. Cuman rasanya nggak pas aja kalau buat lebaran. Sedangkan berhubung Bali nggak punya website, sebenernya kita juga expect bakalan banyak menu b.a.b.i di Bali. Jadi sebenarnya sama saja hehe... Restoran ini terletak di pojokanBrüsseler Platz, dimana susah banget dapat parkir di area itu. Tapi nggak masalah, bisa parkir di main street dan jalan sedikit. Begitu masuk resto ini, suasana temaram langsung menyergap. Konsep penerangan yang begitu irit, mengingatkan kala makan nasi kucing di pinggiran jalan di Jogja, hanya bermodal lampu ublik (ublik bahasa Indonesianya apa ya?). Secara estetika, indah dan romatis juga sih suasana resto nya. Tapi buat saya, makan di cahaya lilin dan lampu ... http://zbethz.multiply.com/reviews/item/45 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:32:47 -0000 Jangan pipis di lantai <a href="http://zbethz.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SP1wzQoKCDYAAANVPd41"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.zbethz.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SP1wzQoKCDYAAANVPd41/Image013.jpg?et=NK4HAvedVAprP8HRn2UduA&nmid=0" border="0"></a>Sign no pipis di lantai ini kayaknya hanya ada di Indonesia deh hehe...Motretnya udah agak lamaan, lupa dimana.

Yup the internet is normal again and I'm full time back again. The last weeks without internet was really catastrophe for me. Even working card from Daniel's office and net connection from my mobile phone were helping, but I can only reach limited access! And in the same time I had several deadlines to do, one of them is last step of website building which I only can do it when I have internet connection! My clients busy searched for me cos I rarely online anymore. Called me and called them are non-avoidable and it took high cost for me and high cost for them cos my client and my working partner are worldwide!(Beside that, in fact I'm not into telephone when its regarding works. I prefer emailing, for  me its more decent and the data can be always trackable.) And this morning when telecom guy came to re-active my connection...phew!

Semoga enak, kalau enggak marahan sama Pepy hehe... Dan ternyata meskipun resepnya panjang tapi nggak sesusah yang gue bayangin, dan rasanya top banget!
