my first ever bruschetta

i've been dying to try this recipe since i watched julie & julia movie. i did search the recipe since then, but i never found the time to make it. now since i have a long weekend, i pushed myself to make it, with help from my sister. she was curious of it, the look and the taste. although i tried to follow every ingredients and steps written to make a good bruschetta, i just couldn't. i didn't put salt and pepper. i used coriander instead of basil. and an indonesian, i put chilli on it. and frankly it tasted better. bon appetite!

another happy wedding party this year

congratulations to hendra & lina.

the happy couple

the bride

bro & sis-in-law

today is definitely not their wedding day. it's been months since then. and these are definitely not their pre-wed photos. they were taken during cny and this year is their first year of wedding. they still live with us. they argue now. over a simple matter. they know each other better now. they are not as goofy as they were. thanks God! and they learn from each other. perhaps i haven't congratulated them enough, so here i am wishing you guys happy wedding ^^ again. 

new face

i have a new face this month. so excited!

it describes what my blog is about. it's about "me", travel, culinary, fantasy, and craft. but the most ingredient is

FUN

enjoy the new me. 

new month, new perspective.

photograph of the month: january 2012

yes, i know i am lazy. i compromise the quality,the fun, the exploration of photography. it's sad, i know. but this is the best i can do so far. i was looking for the best angle and couldn't find it T_T

trading my oldies to the new ones

i've been trying to renew my thoughts and mind recently. still so much influenced by the new year. so, here i am trading my old habits with the new ones:

1. my lack of confidence to self-confidence
2. cowardice to bravery
3. fear of failure to curiosity
4. shyness to boldness
5. ignorance to caring

i'm trading all of negative attributes to positive ones. it's not easy, in fact it's damn difficult, and people somehow think that i am actually crazy. but what good do negative attributes give me? nothing. so, here i am letting them go.

hello new year!

i guess it's a bit late for wishing new year :p but again better be late than never. wish everybody a wonderful new year!

i've come up with new resolution related to social media this year. and i wanna put it up so i'll be more motivated and have no excuses or whatsoever.

1. post a photograph of the month throughout a year.

i did till month of august last year. so, i'm confident that i can make for the full year this time.

2. post what i wore this month.

i followed some blogs, which put up what i wore wednesday. it sounds very interesting, and i was dying to try, so i've gathered my gut and would like to join the pack. for a beginner like me, i like to try what i wore this month. instead of every week, i'll just pick one pic per month :p

3. join a photography contest.

so eager if reader's digest or lonely planet or national geography put up my photo in their mags. i know i choose very high targets, but they themselves will give me a delight of satisfation.

4. post at least 4 entries per month.

jia you!

5. read 7 books in a year.

i read 5 books last year. so hopefully i nail this one! gotta start reading though.






made, known, approved...
