Eating Healthy

Recently I'm trying to have a healthy meal everyday, though I realize this costs quite a big amount of money, as my spending on groceries becomes double than usual. But if it can help me to stay healthy, I don't mind.

I try my best to fulfill the principle that everyone in Indonesia has learned since he/she was in the kindergarten: 4 Sehat 5 Sempurna (in English it literally means '4 Healthy 5 Perfect'. Hmmmm... Sounds weird. Hahaha...) Well anyway, 4 Sehat 5 Sempurna states that for a meal, people should eat enough carbohydrates, meats, veggies, and fruits to make them healthy; to make it more perfect, they should also drink milk. That's the gist of it.

So here is what my last week meal looked like everyday:
Carbs - Rice, Garlic Bread, Muffin
Meats - Beef, Pork, Imitation Crab, Meatball (a.k.a Steamboat)
Veggie - Spinach
Fruit - Banana
Drinks - Chocolate Soy Milk, Water, Apple Juice
Desserts - a block of Dark Chocolate or a block of Ferrero Rocher, Chocolate Ice Cream
Snacks - Chocolate Hazelnut flavored Pirouette, Kebbler's Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Others - Egg

Yeah, I'm trying to gain weight. But the weird thing is that I keep losing weight although I keep eating and sleeping. Hahaha...

Anyway, this week is a week of cooking! I cooked a lot. Seriously... For someone who lives by herself, I cooked 4 kinds of dishes. Cool huh? Yesterday I made Teriyaki Beef and Ayam Bakar ala Edo (Edo's BBQ Chicken), though the chicken was not successful at all. Just now I made Cah Sosis Jagung Manis (Frank & Sweet Corn) and Tumis Sapi Lada Hitam (Black Pepper Beef). Yeay! Now I don't have to worry about not having any food to eat but lazy to cook. The Black Pepper Beef is kinda bold though. If I eat it without rice, it will be too hot.

The recipes for Tumis Sapi Lada Hitam and Cah Sosis Jagung Manis are from this website. Thanks for the site-owner ^^


Tumis Sapi Lada Hitam. I didn't put kapri (I don't know the English word for it) because I don't like it.

aku dan kamu

Berulang kali ku tahan gejolak dalam diri
Gatal, jari-jemariku tergelitik tuk menekan tombol-tombol berteknologi tinggi
Tatkala namamu muncul di sudut layar lebar berukuran 13 inci
Biarpun ku terus-menerus menerapkan sikap pengendalian diri dari ilmu bertajuk kemoralan yang selama 18 tahun mengindoktrinasi pikiran seorang pelajar
Toh akhirnya runtuh juga
Kutekan segiempat biru berlabel namamu itu
Dan kutulis...
an kupanggil...
Dan ku beri sejuta alasan untuk bertanya dan berbicara
Hanya denganmu...
Dan kau jawab aku,
Dan kau beri ku setitik harapan,
Dan kau berusaha seminimal mungkin untuk tidak melukaiku,
Dan ku tetap mengerti,
Kamu palsu
Tapi,
Ternyata,
Aku masih mengharapmu

hanya ku

Kulihat punggungmu semakin menjauh
Kau pergi
Dan ku takkan dapat melihatmu lagi
Terakhir kalinya ku ingin melihatmu
Sekilas saja

Namun
Detak jantungku serasa berhenti
Ketika kau berbalik
Dan ku segera menyembunyikan mataku
Harapanku

Namun
Dari sudut mataku
Sekilas ku merasa
Kau melihatku
Walaupun hanya sedetik
Dua detik

Sekejap pikiranku terbang melayang
Apakah halusinasi?
Patutkah kulambungkan kembali mimpiku?
Inginku?

Dan ketika kuadukan segenap nyawaku
Kucoba
Kau tak bicara
Hampa
Bisu

Kau balikkan punggungmu sekali lagi
Menjauh
Tanpa menoleh
Dan ku tahu
Semuanya hanya ku

Kata-kata yang berhamburan keluar di antara kekacauan ujian sekolah

missing you

As I realize I might not be able to see you anymore this year, I keep dreaming about you when I'm in the middle of my sleep. I know I should focus more on my finals, and the logic says it's good that I won't be able to see you so that I can focus more on my study. But my brain and my heart are not synchronized, they just don't go together. If only there is any functionality like in the JAVA programming, by using the keyword synchronized or by using a binary semaphore to limit an entry into a critical section, perhaps I won't get easily distracted like this. Oh gosh, how much I really want to see you. Do you even realize that I'm longing for you? All the good time that we had together, as well as the bad times that made me so frustrated, I will cherish all of them. But please, let me get some peaceful rest. Get out of my mind just for a little bit, will ya?

kesombonganmu vs kekesalanku

Kamu, sebegitukah bencinya padaku?
Aku, sebegitukah menyebalkannya buatmu?
Apa karena aku terlalu banyak bicara?
Kalau aku diam, kamu senang?
Kalau aku bisu, kamu puas?

Ke laut aja lo!

* Haha.. Belakangnya jadi ga puitis lagi, soalnya gue udah mesti pergi dan ga ada waktu lagi buat ngelanjutin. Udah ah, daaaaaaaaaahhhhh....

kamu

susahnya mengartikan kamu
pikiranmu tak dapat kutebak
kamu itu siapa?
mengapa kamu muncul dalam bayanganku?
mengartikan sepi dan rindu yang selama ini tak dapat terjawab
begitu dekat namun begitu jauh
kamu tersenyum tapi kau palingkan wajahmu
untuk siapa senyum itu?
mengapa bukan untukku?
ketika kau pandang wajahku apa yang kau pikirkan?
apakah aku hama bagimu?
ataukah aku bunga bagimu?
siapa aku?
