Daily dose
Deadly Food
Ade Namnung is a renowned Indonesian comedian who recently passed away due to heart attack. Just a few weeks ago, the news said he was hospitalised in Surabaya because of stroke. I was very surprised to learn that Ade is still very young, 34 years old . I always thought he’s in his 40s. Stroke, heart attack, these should’ve been 50-somethings nightmares. Looks like obesity-related diseases like stroke, heart problems, diabetes are killing Indonesians faster than Transjakarta buses. According to Yastroki, Indonesia has the largest number of stroke patients in Asia. Ohmygawd +_+ And truth is , it’s not easy to be in Indonesia and not indulge in food.
Food surrounds us, it’s a cultural thing, Indonesians eat and eat and eat… from greasy risoles, croquettes, pastel, calorie-packed snacks like kaastengel and nastar, then there’s rendang, ayam kalasan, gudeg, kambing guling, gule, tongseng, ughh… and don’t forget Durian for desserts and over-the-top pink Soda Gembira to finish. Maybe it’s good to remember the days when Indonesians have nothing to eat but cassava and tempe was a luxury. Chicken? Whoaa.. that’s rich people’s food.
What if we have one day a week to simply observe that? I bet that could’ve saved many lives. Continue reading
Kartu ATM yang menghilang
Dua hari lalu secara resmi saya mendeklarasikan bahwa kartu ATM saya telah raib, lenyap entah ke mana 
. Kalau saya ingat-ingat sepertinya terjatuh atau saya lupa menariknya dari mesin ATM di Slipi Jaya waktu mentransfer uang untuk tiket ke Jogja (lihat postingan sebelumnya). Rupa-rupanya kepikunan saya sudah sampai tahap menakutkan, semoga bukan gejala alzheimer. Kemarin saya mencoba membuat kartu ATM baru, menurut saran suami, sebaiknya saya lapor kehilangan ke kantor polisi terlebih dahulu. Continue reading

That viral Ah Wing video
My Malaysian friends are crazy about this short youtube movie depicting the everyday life of Ah Wing – Malaysia’s #1 Salesman. It’s so funny it makes me wonder, what did Ah Wing do to the salespeople in the other shops ??? He must have spiked their drinks and then stash them somewhere ! Poor salespeople… or maybe… all the shops are owned by Ah Wing’s boss , so it doesn’t really matter! Smart! Continue reading

我为什么很喜欢去日惹玩儿
因为马格兰离日惹不太远。我就老公陪我去日惹玩儿。在爪哇，我很喜欢两个城市，一是泗水，二是日惹。 泗水是我的家乡，我当然喜欢！泗水是大城市好像雅加达，美天都塞车。但是泗水比雅加达好，因为泗水人很酷！哈哈！
日惹不是大城市，但是很有意思。在日惹文艺和教育很发达。我觉得那边的人态度特温和，很有礼貌，也很有创造力的。很多画家和艺术家住在那里。
日惹有很多漂亮的Batik，雕塑，皮影戏，银器和优雅的传动舞蹈。人说日惹是爪哇岛的灵魂。无须说，我是同意的。 Continue reading
