Monday, December 22, 2003

I actually forgot that today is Mother's Day (for Indonesian). I just realized about this when I was reading kompas.com. It's actually pretty weird that I can forgot about this, because on 22^nd of December, it is also a day when my family make onde-onde. Well, we call it onde-onde, Javanese call it something else (so I was told once). It is a Chinese tradition, which unlike so many others, always fall on the same date: 22^nd of December. In Chinese, I think it is called tang yuen. Well, I can't write it correctly just as I can't pronounce it correctly. I tried to buy some from the Dessert Stall this afternoon, but the Dessert auntie said she was not making any, and she told me to just buy the frozen ones in Fairprice. So I did that. I tried the ones with sesame paste filling. It was okay, but the soup that I made was crappy

Dear God, How I miss my homemade ones. I actually like to help my mom shape the dough. The onde in my house is made from sweet potato and we don't like to add color to it. It's also quite small compared to Singaporean style because it doesn't have any filling. The soup is made from water + sugar + ginger + Javanese sugar (brown sugar or gula melaka as Singaporeans like to call it). This onde is just one of the food that I think, the best ones come from my house

God! How I want to be at home right now. Okay, I better call home now.

I don't take being here for granted, it might be the last one. It's really beyond my imagination that God has taken me to all these places and back - oh the journey we did together, thank You God

finally a little bit of sun and blue sky and it's most probably the only one I would get here - side note: feel quite sad about Pope Francis, such an inspiration to be humble and down to earth :(

adieu Paris, je ne sais pas s'il y a une prochaine fois - si non, je pense que je suis contente :)

knocked my tea all over the table, but a girl quickly came to help me clean up and even said sorry about my tea - it gives me hope about these kids

from the poem 大阿蘇 (おおあそ) by 三好達治 (みよしたつじ): もしも百年がこの一瞬の間にたったとしても何の不思議もないだろう that line is just ... it stucks with me
