Today I had my morning walk with Wira and Amira. I've been doing morning walk for the pass two weeks. Not everyday but at least I try to going out everyday. And today I see this tree on my way. It reminded me of winter in Berlin. This time of year, the tree will be bold and sometimes cover with snow. I love to see those trees. I surely missed those time...

I am working on new pouch for Samsung Galaxi Tab II for my father in-law. I've been working since last night. It's almost done now :) While working on the pouch, I also play a game in my iPad and watching Bones season 7 in my computer. I practiced on multitasking :D
Membersihkan kamar mandi bukan hal baru buat saya. Sejak kecil, saya dan adik/kakak sudah dibiasakan untuk membantu membersihkan kamar mandi. Kamar mandi di rumah lama biasanya dibersihkan setiap hari Rabu dan Sabtu. Walau kadang kami kebagian untuk membersihkan di hari Minggu jika belum dibersihkan pada hari Sabtunya. Untuk saya sendiri ritual membersihkan kamar mandi bisa menghabiskan sekitar 1 jam karena cukup besarnya kamar mandi yang harus disikat :) Maklum, ada saja pojokan yang terlihat masih kurang bersih. Walaupun kamar mandi kami tidak tampak kinclong tetapi sangat nyaman untuk digunakan. Satu hal yang kinclong ketika saya biasa membersihkan kamar mandi jaman dahulu yaitu bak mandi yang terbuat dari fiberglass. Air dalam bak mandi selalu tampak biru bersih seperti air di laut yang sangat jernih. Warna bak mandinya sendiri adalah putih. Senang melihat bak mandi bersih seperti itu. Kami dulu menggunakan air tanah dan walaupun sudah disaring dengan beberapa lapis kaus kaki usang, tetap saja kotoran dari air akan tetap lewat dan bak mandi cepat menjadi kotor. Awalnya, bak mandi kami tidak pernah sebersih itu walaupun sudah dicuci dengan sabun. Kelihatannya masih seperti ada kotoran di dinding bak. Suatu hari terlintas ide untuk mencoba membersihkan bak mandi menggunakan belimbing wuluh yang sedang berbuah banyak di halaman depan rumah. Karena saya baca-baca di majalah, jeruk bisa membersihkan berbagai macam hal. Saya menganalogikan bahwa sifat asam dari jeruk yang diambil untuk membersihkan, berarti seharusnya segala jenis asam pasti bisa digunakan juga. Saya mengambil sekitar 10 buah dan mulai digosokkan pada dinding bak yang sudah dikosongkan. Hasilnya benar-benar memukau. Seluruh kotoran mulai luruh dari dinding bak dengan mudahnya. Setelah semua digosok dengan belimbing wuluh, diamkan sebentar lalu mulai dibilas. Biasanya saya kumpulkan potongan belimbing wuluh yang besar untuk dibuang ke tempat sampah sementara potongan yang lebih kecil saya biarkan lewat kedalam saluran pembuangan air. Setelah itu biasanya saya tetap gunakan sabun untuk membersihkan terakhir. Bajaj or auto rickshaw is one of public transportation in Jakarta. This three-wheelers can be found around Jakarta except the main road such as Jalan Sudirman, Jalan Thamrin and others. It usually can take up to 3 person inside it beside the driver. But it also can take more than that. You will be amazed seeing things that load into this vehicle. I used to ride this to school. Even though they are quite shaky but I can fall a sleep inside it :) Back then when I was in school, the price you have to pay was relatively cheap compare to taxi. But now, if you took Bajaj as your transportation, sometimes you will pay a lot more. If you haven’t try one, you should try it :)
Today is my little sister's birthday. Since her husband just had his birthday last week and we have our special event menu, Ayam Suharti, so today we decided to have something different. We went to Rumah Makan Sederhana at Rawamangun. This is also one of our favorite restaurant near our house. When I was little, my dad sometimes take us to this restaurant just to enjoy sate Padang and a glass of kopyor juice.
The picture shows how they serve food in this restaurant.Except for small fish (as you seen on the bottom of the picture), vegetables and sambal, they put 2 pieces of everything in small plate such as 2 pieces of gulai ayam, 2 slices of fish, and 2 slices of dendeng. It's easier for them to count when we asked for the bill. Today I visit my alma mater, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia . They renovate this historic building. But too bad they change the windows and the building not look that old anymore :( The building was completed on July 5th, 1920 and used as medical school until now. The maintanance of this building is pretty good compared to other old building in Jakarta. Hopefully this building preserved as historic building for a long time.
Happy New Year 2014. Hope a lot of good things happened this year.
Last night was really entertaining for me. We were watching firework just by standing in our balcony. I grab my camera and start taking pictures. This is one of them. I think this is really a good picture to start this project with. |
