Assalamu'alaikum Dede ^_^ Ibu seneng banget. Kemarin waktu Ayah jemput Ibu, Ayah beliin Ibu baju. Ibu kirain itu baju kerja, ternyata baju daster ^_^ Ayah kasihnya sambil malu-malu gitu ^^ Waktu Ibu coba pakai bajunya, Ayah bilang Ibu cantik. Langsung deh Ibu cium Ayah ^_^ Dede ikut senang kan? Bajunya cantik De. Ayah pintar milihnya. Nenek juga bilang bajunya bagus.

Sabtu kemarin, Ibu dan Ayah ketemu Dede lagi waktu kontrol bulanan ke dokter. Dari hasil USG, di week 25, akhirnya kelihatan kalau Dede cowok. Wah...Ibu dan Ayah bisa mulai cari nama untuk Dede nih ^_~ Ibu sempat bingung waktu dokternya bilang jagoan neon. Ternyata yang dia maksud kalau Dede itu cowok. Alhamdulillah, Dede sehat-sehat aja, berat badannya cukup, 772 gram. Air ketuban Ibu juga sudah cukup. Sebelumnya kurang terus, jadi dokter minta Ibu minum lebih banyak, minimal 2 liter sehari. Sehat terus ya Dede ^__^

Setelah selesai periksa ke dokter, Ibu lapar banget. Jadi Ibu minta Ayah untuk makan di luar. Ibu tadinya pengen makan Mandhi Laham di Restoran Al Safeer, tapi akhirnya berubah jadi Mie Aceh ^_^ Ayah dan Ibu beli Mie Aceh Kuah. Enak banget loh De. Ibu sampai habisin kuahnya juga. Karena masih lapar, Ibu minta Ayah pesen Nasi Goreng Aceh karena penasaran gimana rasanya. Ternyata cuma ditambah daun seledri aja. Selebihnya sama dengan nasi goreng biasa. Ada kejadian lucu De. Waktu Ayah dan Ibu terima pesenan, makanannya dibungkus. Padahal kita minta makan di tempat. Pelayan balik lagi dan kasih pesenan. Loh, yang datang kok malah Mie Aceh lagi. Ternyata pelayan yang terima pesanan salah dengar. Ayah dan Ibu harus tunggu lagi Nasi Goreng Acehnya dimasak. Kayanya pelayannya lagi ngantuk De, belum bobo siang ^^;;

Temen Ibu yang lagi hamil cerita, kalau dedenya juga cowok. Dia bilang ngga jadi deh besanan sama Ibu. Hehehe....gimana mau besanan, dedenya sama-sama cowok ^^;; Temen Ibu juga udah USG 4D. Waah...Ibu jadi pengen juga nih. Pengen ngeliat Dede lebih jelas, abis kalau pakai 2D, Ibu kurang jelas lihatnya. Nanti Ibu tanya sama Kakek deh, bisa anterin Ibu atau ngga. Udah dulu ya De, nanti Ibu sambung lagi. Ngga sabaran pengen lihat Dede lagi bulan depan ^_^

I was talking with my friend about her reading novel in Kindle. When she mentioned about lots of free novel in Kindle, I remembered my old hobby reading free ebook novel. Aside from ebook novel, I recommend her novels by Betty Neels. Why I love this author? Cause she wrote clean romance novel without s*x scenes, so it's safe to be read by youngster, and I love it. I guess it's almost impossible to find that kind of novel in this modern era ^^;;

Back to Betty Neels, if you read her work a lot, then you'll find the similarity of the main characters. It's almost always involves a nurse and a dutch doctor :D Not all of them actually, but a lot to be said just coincidence ^^;; At first, I wonder why she got hooked into those characters that much. But today, when I read Betty Neels' Biography, I found out why. Betty Neels' occupation is a nurse before she retired and started writing novels. And she is married to a Dutchman, although her husband is not a doctor ^^;;

So, if you like a quick simple romance novel with clean scenes, I recommend you to read Betty Neels' novel. The background is in old era, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Here are some of my recommendations of Betty Neels' novels. Enjoy!

           

As the title above, I'm one of the lucky people who won the ticket to Indonesia-Korea Friendship Concert 2010 :D Each winner got 2 tickets. This concert will be held on 12 Oct 2010 at Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta. Actually, I was only testing my luck when I entered the lucky draw. Turn out that I win ^o^ Too bad my sisters and my friend weren't that lucky T_T

In this concert, the performers will be from Indonesia & Korea *duh..of course :P* Indonesia artist will be represented by Gita Gutawa, The Dance Company, and Traditional Dance from Padepokan Bagong Kusudiarjo. As for Korea, the artists are SHINEE, Son Ho Young, Ku Joon Yeop, Naomi, and Sinawe. Honestly, I only know Minho from SHINEE ^^;; The first time I saw him wasn't in a video clip music or something, but in a sport variety show Let's Go Dream Team on KBS World =^-^= He's a great athlete despite his small figure. That's why I'm rooting for him ^^

My sister whose majoring in Korean language in UI said that maybe she could get a hold the ticket for dinner with SHINEE. Wow...let's hope she could make it. Hwaiting!!!

Oh, below are CDs from Shinee if you haven't known them yet:

Been browsing back and forth for craft blogs, and I found Craft Zone for Malaysian. Wow, it's like finding a treasure. Lots and lots of inspiration come after looking those beautifully handmade item. It made me want to start crochet again :D Ok, I promised myself, once my amigurumi eyes package came from US, I'll start making amigurumi again. I better keep my own word here. Now, it's time to find the pattern. Hmm....I'm thinking to make an owl, or an elephant, or a sheep, or a lion. Omg...please make up your mind :P *don't blame me cause I'm a Libra :D*
For sure, first I'll finish my bear. It's already headless and eyeless for about 2 years if I can recall ^^;; Here's what it looks like :D

Check these books out for our eye candy :D

Continued from my last post, while searching for takoyaki pan, I found this interesting takoyaki maker, it's called Karakururin, the magical takoyaki maker! Hehehe...it's not really magical, that's only came out from my amazement for that machine XD It is said in this article that the kids go crazy for Karakururin. I bet it's not only kids, I myself will be very excited if I can get a hold of this machine XD

There are 12 short clips about how this takoyaki machine works *each clip is 20 seconds long*I found out that this machine will cost you ￥1 million @_@ but we can rent it for ￥50,000. I got addicted with the Karakururin songs. The kids who sing it has adorable voice *yayyy* Let's sing Karakururin along with me XD

I'm infected by this virus once again, to be exact, Takoyaki Craze virus ^^;; For  a few past days, I've been searching high and low for Takoyaki maker. I had one already, but it's only the Takoyaki pan. I want one that comes along with the portable gas stove like this one (see left image).

I even bothered my friend in Japan who'll come to Jakarta next month. I beg her to buy me one ^^;; But after yesterday's Takoyaki party at my house, I changed my mind. It turned out that my current pan is already functioning enough to serve me ^_^ I forgot that I had a portable gas stove, so I can always use it *stupid me* Here's the look of my current Takoyaki pan ^^
