What's Love?

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower
and you its only seed.

(LeAnn Rimes - Some Say Love)

I have to be honest. I don’t know what love is up ‘till now (not in that family love kind, you know which love I mean..).

Grilled Fish Sauted with Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce

Make way, make way, guys! Here comes ME!

*lol*

It's been a very, very long time since my last post, isn't it? So how're you hanging out there, guys? Hope your life for these past few months had been great, if not awesome. *smiles*

I couldn't say my past months had been that great. Well, okay, they're not awful either. Just busy. Yeah, like usual.

...Scratch that. It's not like usual at all! I had endure the most tiring, the most exhausting, the most-whatever-you-would-call-it months. I was a committee for one big event, I had a numerous assignments that almost made my brain damaged, my Deutsche course had been pretty rough lately, and, and..

*sighs*

But well, I have passed all of that! And now's the time for relaxing! Woo-Hoo!!



I'm planning on going to some place on the christmas and new year holiday. I want to go photo hunting, I want to feel the beach sands on my feet (after couldn't for some long time), I want to go away from the urban ruckus and relax my mind. I think I could go to Thousand Islands, Pangandaran, or better yet, Lombok. Hmm, which one, which one? :D

*lol*

Enough of that. By the way, lately I am thinking of starting a business. Not that fancy, just a small business to add some money to my allowance account. *lol* I had a shoes shop on my mind, but considering that the capital is not very supporting here, i have to shift my mind to a craft shop. A handmade one. Wish me luck on actualizing this plan, m'kay~

Okay, for this time's bonus, I would like to share an Indonesian Recipe I really love. Enjoy it! :)

Ikan Bakar Kecap (Grilled Fish Sauted with Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce)

Ingredients:
• 500 g gouramy/gurame fish, cut the body*
• 1 lime, take the water

Grinded Ingredients:
• 8 shallots
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 pecan
• 1/2 tbsp finely pepper
• 2 cm turmeric
• 2 cm ginger
• 4 red chilies
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 block Chicken Broth
• Salt to taste

Smearing Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce**
• 1 tbsp Margarine

How to:
1. Sprinkle fish with lime juice then leave for 15 minutes.
2. Rub fish with grinded ingredients on the entire surface of the fish body and the interior thoroughly. Leave for 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the grill, then grill fish until golden brown.
4. Smear the fish with the mixture of sweet soy sauce and margarine, continue to grill briefly.
5. Serve while hot with cucumber, cabbage and tomatoes.


* you can substitute the fish with tuna, salmon, or whatever fish you want. I myself love to change it to tuna, my fave fish. :D
** it's a thick, almost syrupy consistency and a pronounced sweet, treacle-like flavor due to generous addition of palm sugar.

Oh, wow, I'm drolling right now.. *lol*

Well then, see you on the next post, guys!

Caramel Vanilla Latte

Living in an urban lifestyle sure would cost us much money. For me, I HEART to drink lattes, but having it at café or such is a big no-no especially for now (I'm in saving-thy-money program, for my future study. *grins*). So, an instant one is my aid for my craving, but the taste is different! Somehow there's something missing if I just mix a packet of instant latte to hot boiled water..

So I searched for any tips to make my latte tastes more delicious, and here it is, one of the many results I found that I like most.

Caramel Vanilla Latte

3/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup hot milk
2 teaspoons vanilla instant coffee
1 tablespoon caramel flavored sundae syrup
1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon whipped cream (optional)

Combine water, milk and vanilla instant coffee in large mug; stir until the coffee is dissolved. Stir in caramel syrup and sugar. Top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
(Makes 1 serving)

It's delicious and very easy to serve. Try it! *smiles*

Hula!

Wow, it's been quite a long time since my last post, eh? I actually have plenty of stories to talk about, starting with the coming of Ramadhan (a fasting month for Moslem), me getting left by the plane and have to wait for another 8 hours to get the next available one, this and that, and again, this and that, got a lot of assignments for my 2 weeks holiday, hadn't do it all yet 'till the last day of said weekend, and et cetera.

I have to be honest, I don't really want to write any of them (Just, puh-leease! It's troublesome to write it all now).

Oh, by the way, along with all that ruckus, I want to say,

Happy Eid Fitr 1430H!

Eid Mubarak!
May Allah bless our Ibadah at the Ramadhan (Amiin)

(I made some really nice cookies for the day!) Hehe..

By the way, I made another blog in Indonesian. Please visit it, m'kay~
