My mom just sent me these pictures, with the caption:
“There’s a lost chicken up in the tree”
“And the cats are all like ‘Mom, if we can catch it, would you cook it for us?’”
LOL. We don’t know whose chicken is that, but yeah, we own all of the cats ^^. Oh how I really miss them, and miss home.
These pictures really made my day :). Somehow I feel warm inside, even though it’s freezing cold in my room *sigh.. Thanks, Mom!
Since it’s only at the beginning of my 3rd semester, means all of the classes were still at the ‘introductory part’, I’ve been doing some projects which require my right brain more than my left brain. Designing. I really enjoy this more than writing paper, obviously. And until now, sometimes I have a feeling that I’ve been taking the ‘wrong path’ ^^; Oh well..
Anyway, since my right brain is more active lately, I decided to grab a pencil and sketch this *while waiting for my 17.00 class ~_~*. It’s been a while since a played around with pencil, let alone paint. I’m afraid I forgot how to physically mix color and to stroke brushes on the canvas, since now I’m more familiar with Photoshop -_-.
Inspired by The Big Bang Theory – Hair :)
The easiest one? Of course the one with short hair and not much black hair left ;) *sorry to say, Pupule*.
Remaining time: a week :(
Sebenarnya ada 3 undangan pernikahan *for Mum & Dad, not for me ;p* di hari Sabtu tanggal 10 September kemarin, di tiga kota yang berbeda: Jakarta, Surabaya, dan Semarang. Dengan berbagai pertimbangan *termasuk keinginan sang anak yang masih belum puas berlibur, ehem*, akhirnya kami berakhir pekan di… East of Java!
Rujak Cingur, tanpa cingur?
Berangkat pukul 6 pagi dari Cengkareng, tanpa sarapan, dengan maksud mau sarapan di Surabaya. Setelah sedikit berputar-putar mencari tempat yang oke *guide-nya dari Gresik soale ^^;*, akhirnya mampir di restoran dekat hotel tempat kami menginap, Hotel Cendana. Rumah Makan Ria namanya. Tak beberapa lama setelah memesan rujak cingur, tiba-tiba pelayannya muncul mengabarkan bahwa cingurnya kosong. Nah lho. Tapi saya ga terlalu penasaran dengan cingurnya sih, jadi ga masalah ;p. Yang penting bumbunya… enaaak.
Agak sore, karena perut lapar kami naik becak dari hotel ke Boncafe. Ooh la la, di sini es krim nya enak sangat :9~. Pulangnya terpaksa jalan kaki demi membakar kalori, hoho.
Wisata Mall
Malam harinya, orangtua kondangan, saatnya anak-anak untuk… jalan-jalan! Sayangnya, kami ga punya guide, jadi jalan-jalan yang paling aman tentunya… wisata mall ^^; *ga mungkin kan mampir ke, ehem, Do**y, hiiiy*. Gedung terdekat dari hotel adalah gedung Gramedia Expo. Besaaar… tapi sepi ^^; Baru kali ini melihat area komik di Gramedia tanpa pengunjung kecuali kami.
Lanjut jalan kaki ke Tunjungan Plaza. Memori saya tentang Tunjungan Plaza hanya: “Dulu pernah jalan-jalan ke sini 20 tahun yang lalu”, that’s it ^^; Makan malam dulu di… KFC, gyahahah. Orangtuanya makan enak di kondangan, anaknya makan fast food ;p. Salah satu misi hidup saya memang “mencoba ayam goreng KFC di berbagai kota di seluruh dunia”.
The idea came from my sister, while we both have a lot of free time… at home. I mean, when will we have a chance to do silly things like this again? ;p
Some points to conclude…
First, we do still have identical shirts! The difference is, they used to be in different sizes. Now they’re identical to the size, but we have a reason for buying two shirts ;). There is no way we can use one shirt alternately, at least for the next two semesters.
Second, I can no longer hug my sister from behind without standing on my tippy toes. And there is no way to stand upright if I want the camera to also capture my face, not just my hands hugging her *that would be creepy don’t you think?*.
Third, we don’t have identical dresses anymore :(. Well actually, we barely have dresses now *put on shirt/blouse + jeans, then we’re good to go*. Back then, most of our collections of dresses came from our mother’s hands. Now, the sewing machine kinda lose its purpose ;p. The only ‘dresses’ that almost have the same color and design, and of course fit us are… daster batik*!
And lastly… we can still have a good laugh and smile at the end of the day, no matter how hard it is :)
*) daster: some kind of pajamas that is very comfortable for sleeping in tropical countries, with hot and humid weather; batik: see here
