Fri, 11/20/09

On Fri (11/20), I went to Fudan Uni with Silva. She was helping her sister and her sister's friend to register at Fudan Uni. It was raining and very cold. Fudan (复旦大学) located waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far away from my school, SNU (上海师范大学). We have to took bus 763 to Shanghai South Railway Station (上海南站), take MRT which takes about 23 stops (I forgot which stop), then take bus 812 (4 stops) to reach Fudan.
I'm not in the mood of writing now, so I'll just share our pretty pics...

we also ate at Pizza Hut nearby...
here's the pic of the dessert...
brownies w/ vanilla ice cream
Some of my friends mentioned that Pizza Hut in China is not as delicious as the one in Indonesia, even some say it's not good. But for me, all of them are OK. Even the dessert is nicer. I agree that the price is higher, but the taste, it's so-so.. Global company that adapting the local taste? What are you expect. It's not your own country, dude.. If you want Indonesian adjusted taste Pizza Hut, then buy it in Indonesia, not in China... lol.

Tonight's Dinner

ingridients:

tools: a cutting board, a knife, a skillet, and a spatula

Chili Tuna Fusili

Today's creation with Mpok..
Chili Tuna Fusili

Ingredients:
Tuna in Chili Oil - 1 can (we use Ayam Brand's)
Onion - 50gr, sliced
Celery - 1 stick, cut 1cm long
White Mushroom (Button Mushroom) - 2pc, sliced
Portobello Mushroom - 2pc, sliced
Gouda cheese - 50gr, diced
fusili (or rotini) - 250gr
olive oil - 2 tbsp
salt - 1 tsp
chicken bouillon - to taste
black pepper - to taste

So, we cooked the pasta first into the boiled water with olive oil and salt. In the skillet, we cooked the tuna altogether with onion, mushrooms, and celery. We added some water and chicken bouillon.
Meanwhile, we dried the cooked pasta then put it in the skillet immediately. We don't want to eat a mushy pasta, so we make sure the pasta is not boiled too long.
After, we added the gouda cheese, chicken bouillion, and black pepper. We stirred it until it all mixed together, taste it. Then we served it (to be eaten by ourself.. lol).

here's the picture.
the chili tuna fusili in the skillet...

Today's Menu: Rendang Babi (Pork in Chili and Coconut Sauce)

In the middle of reading Parodi by Samuel Mulia, I got an IM from Mpok... It popped up in my screen and roughly said "We still have a chunk of pork, what we gonna do with it? Stewed it with sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)?"
Hmm... I think that's gonna be nice since i haven't eat Babi Kecap (stewed pork with sweet soy sauce) for a year.
But by the time the pork ready to cook, we changed our mind. Since we have packages of instant seasoning that really really ready to use, we just pick rendang (Indonesian chili and coconut sauce) to compliment the pork. Also, we add shiitake mushroom inside the pan (so the mushroom wouldn't sit too long in the fridge, waiting to be cooked).
After about 3/4hr, the pork rendang is ready to eat... :)

About the rice, it's 3.xx yuan per 500gr (bought at Carefour). It's the best deal we could find as we like the long-grain white rice (and it's Thai, since we can't find Indonesian one). But, I'll check again.. not so sure about it. Maybe there are cheaper Thai long-grain white rice. Who knows...

Gloomy and Dreamy (It's Raining)

It had been a public secret that I sleep like a bear when the temperature falls. Moreover, I love to curl under my blanket when it's raining outside.

Shanghai has been poured by rain for almost two days, and it's temperature dropped to around 8. Even, it has been predicted that snow will hit Shanghai I love rain when I don't have to deal with the water. I like it when the drops hit the roof. It's like a lullaby for me.

Cold and rain. Those two condition stimulate me to hibernate like a bear. Well, i don't really fall in the state of hibernation because bears doesn't really hibernate also. :P
And those condition really stir up my mood. Gloomy and dreamy.. and I just want to stay on my bed under the electric blanket. lol

I hope the temperature falls more and more. I wish there is a snowfall in Shanghai. It's really worthless to stay in a cold weather without a snow fight or some other snow games (i want to make some snowman and angels).

Duo Piano Concert - The Rotary Club of Shanghai's 90th Anniversary Gala

Last night I went to Rotary Club of Shanghai 90th Anniversary Gala Dinner. It's not just another birthday party. It was a duo piano concert and gala dinner opened by a champagne reception and sparkled with raffle tickets and silent auction for fund raising. In the middle of the event was a Rotary Club of Shanghai history movie clip. The movie clip was more than great. I love that clip. It's not just another boring clip. I can't describe it by words. One should see by him/herself.

The event held in Ballroom A, 10th Floor at the Renaissance Hotel Zhongshan Park. The reception started on 6:30pm. Champagne, orange juice, cola, and canapes are everywhere. The admission fee for this event is 800RMB per person (but, once again, I joined for free as the Shanghai RC gave some free tickets for Rotaractors and Interactors). Renaissance Hotel itself (I believe) is part of the Marriott Hotel Group.

The duo piano concert was so nice. The music was alluring. I love those songs, especially the one I familiar with like Jambalaya, Over The Rainbow, Theme and Variations, and some other musics.
Here is the music list.

Last but not least, the foods. The foods were so delicious. The salmon was melting inside my mouth, the soup was very tasty, moreover, the beef was cooked perfectly; juicy and very tender. The dessert (ivory blanc satin chocolate mousse griottines cherry) was kind of heavy for me. I prefer something other light and refreshing after that kind of dinner. It'd taste better if I wasn't that full, and the griottines cherries tasted like medicine pills (it's too bitter for me, well, maybe the liquor is too strong).
Here the picture of the menu, followed by the foods picture.

Finally I Can Cook Again!

It's been about a month that I couldn't cook because the stove in my flat was broken. My landlord came on the Nov 1st to collect my nov-jan rent fee, then he asked is that any problem within the house. I mentioned about the stove. It's not the gas (because I still can enjoy the hot water). He managed to call the gas company to fix the problem. In less than 15 minutes, a person from the gas company came to check and fix the stove. I didn't know what he did, but the repairing process was done in a flash. Voila.. it works again!
It cost about 270RMB, i don't quite remember as the landlord paid the bill.

The next two days, I cooked a duck soup. It has duck meat (of course!) - duck leg, sauteed onion, smashed and finely chopped garlic, potato, pumpkin, carrot, celery, and dried shrimps (the tiny size one), also seasonings (ground coriander seeds, chicken bouillon, ground black and white pepper). For the final touch, I sprinkled some fried crunchy bacon and self-made crouton.

Put a crouton on it was a mistake. I didn't the wet mushy crouton. I finished the crouton immediately and began to enjoy the soup. The soup, without the crouton, was delicious.

I can't wait to cook another dishes. :)

Dumb Luck

I always believe that I'm lucky. Doesn't care if it's a lucky luck, or another dumb luck, one thing for sure, I'm blessed with good fortune.

I just got back from a fast networking meeting held by FC Club at M1NT at Fuzhou Rd with Silva. I met a former Interactor and he offered us to send our CV asap to him. He said he will help us in distributing our CV to several companies here (in SH).

In the lucky draw session, my name card was picked first. It's not the first prize, but still it's a prize. :)
I got a bottle of wine. Red Wine, Merlot, 2007. I will keep it. I said to Silva we will drink it together later, after we get our jobs.

My Pair of Boots

(SH - Oct21st,2009)
Finally I bought a pair of boots! I went to Qipu Clothes Market on this Wed with Silva. Both of us were hunting for a pair of boots. It's Silva's 2nd time to visit Qipu Market and she is not too familiar with it. So, somehow I became the guide.

I like my new pair of boots. I fell in love with these pair at the 1st sight. I found it on the first seller I visited. Yet, Silva also found the one she like too there. We did circling the place, went to each aisle that sell shoes, but we didn't find any other boots as interesting as the first seller had. So, we just came back to the shop that sell the boots we like.

After some stiff bargaining, finally we got the boots we love. 105 for both, 50 for Silva's, 55 for mine. The seller mentioned that mine is more expensive than Silva's. True or not, I'm pretty happy about it.
*I also don't care if it's overpriced because I already bought it. I can't go back to the seller and ask her to return my money.*

Here's the pic~

I guess I will buy another pair... Not this kind, but, for this winter.. I definitely need another pair. :)

Finally I Found It!

>.<

Recently I'd been looking for a new home.
And finally... i found it yesterday.. :)
Those which i had looked before was not as good as the last one i saw.
This very last one was different.....

I think i found it because of my law of attraction too.
Yesterday, around 3pm, my sharemate Som was starving, so we went out for a dine near the school. When we were finished the meal, she actually headed home, but I made her accompanied me for a walk in the afternoon. Also, I said to her, I might find the new home now. I walked and looked around the Guanshengyuan Rd. It's a nice street. Far from noisy i say (except for the east -i guess it's the east- rear of the road where a traditional market is located). Then, turn south along the Liuzhou Rd. We didn't see any property agent there until the T junction of the Liuzhou and (i guess) Qinzhou Rd. We saw three agent but ended up went to the third one i saw even IDK why i randomly walked into this one.

----
edited after 3 months... lol
this last agency showed me some houses, but not even an apartment catch my eyes...
finally the agent showed a small but nice homy apartment... i fell in love in the first sight.. and it became the home i stayed now. :)

I woke up late (again) today... >.<
but i don't put it in a rush coz i have nothing to do anyway....
well... except for going to the movie... and it's all up to me coz i'm watching it all by myself..

I decided to watch The Transformer @ Kodak Cinema World, Metro City, Xujiahui. I bought the ticket for the very back and highest row, seat number 17 for 45rmb... It's tuesday and no disc? T.T
it said the movie aired @ 14:50...
it was 13:55 when i purchased the ticket.. so I wondering around the metro City..
and found 1 of my fave book... the Geronimo Stilton... and they have the volume that i don't have... butttt..... the price is ridiculously expensive for me... in Indonesia, I could get it for less than 50,000 rupiahs.... and it's 66rmb in the popular bookstore.... robber... >.< (1rmb = 1530rupiahs).. ok... it's another story... let's go back to the movie..

I bought a whopper, coke, and french fries.... then I headed to the cinema...
There was a girl checking the ticket and told me to go to the room number 2. In front of the room, there was no one.... not like in Indonesia or states which at least tere is someone that checking the ticket. So, I saw the electronic screen thingy said it was room #2.. and I went in.... My seat was pretty good... it's like in the middle left of the theatre when we face the screen. So, I enjoying my french fries and cola there.... Right until.... the movie was aired abt 5 minutes...... and................. I JUST REALIZE I'M IN THE WRONG STUDIO!!! AND I'M WATCHING HARRY POTTER INSTEAD OF THE TRANSFORMERS!!!! Gah!! Bloody Hell........ For the 1st minute, I thought it was the ad.... >.*even my heart did beat really faaaaaaaaaast; and i might have a pale looking face*

So, for the 1st 40 minutes.... I watched this movie with a concern... Of course I'm afraid someone might come and claimed his/her chair.... I was pretty freaked out when someone came to the very up section of the studio.... Lucky me... (and I think I'm so lucky) :D No one claimed it... I hope no one notice.... hahaha...

Phew.... It was an experience.... >.<

My total expenses for this wacko experience today is... 78.1 rmb
(movie ticket 45rmb, burger+cola+fries 23.5rmb, bus-roundtrip 4rmb, and gum.. 5.6rmb)


ps: I'll go on Thurs and try the cinema in Huahai.. I'll watch The Transformer... and no more wrong studio....... *i hope*

Fun Weekend

I spent a lot of money~



05/01 - Labor Day

It's a nice day... Sunny, but windy.... I got a sunburn that day. It's not even summer yet! Why I got the sunburn? It's because...

I went to a place somewhere close to Minhang, or maybe it's Minhang, which lot's of movie made there. Yup! It's a movie set. It was a set for KungFu Hustle, "Kabut Cinta" (Idon't knw the english title and i don't knw the chinese character), n so on. It was nice. I mean, It's OK. The entrance fee is 50RMB, but if you have the student card, you'll only pay /2 of it (sadly the cashier lady said my student card is not valid.. weird.. >.>). I took some photos there, w/ friends who taking me there. We were 8. It's me frm SNU, 1 frm Phillipines (Yuyun's roommate when she was in XiaMen),and other 6 girls including Yuyun. They are from SISU. >>special thx to Yuyun that ask me out that day. it was very nice. =) If i didn't go, then prob'ly i'll end up sleep for the whole day. hehe..

Frm my uni, i have to take the bus and go to the nearest metro station, the Shanghai NanChan and heading to XinZhuang. After, we took the bus to the place and it took 45 minutes. It was crazy when we are trying to get to the place. It was too many ppl on the bus. Even when it's full already, the driver & co- still get some more people to get in. It's just terrible. My Philipinas friend told us that it was smell bad. Yea.... gues that! The BO! LOL

It was nicer when we get back. Not so crowded, and we got some seats. But 1 thing.... we actually coul get off at BeiQiao St. (line 5), and take a bus to the spot, and vice versa. I just realize that, and our Chinese fellow disn't know about that. Well, at least now we are know. XDD

After the something call Le Yuan (the shooting setting place), we went to HuangPi Metro St. and have an early dinner @ Sizler something2.. i can't recall it. It's a nice western restaurant. The foods are cheap, especially when it's good, and the fact that it is located in a very expensive area. Then, we went to Barbie Shanghai on HuaHai. Again, picture, picture, and pictures!

It was great. Beside the sunburn, i got a sore legs also. But, it was a good trip. So, it was worthed.





Ok, let's make it short... i'm tired n sleepy now... lol



05/02

It was not going as I planned, but things turns out pretty good. I had a plan to go for hopping near the school, but instead, I went to Shanghai Tech for shopping w/ Ntine, Helena, Merry, n Herlina. Long day, but it was great. So, after a very loooong day. I got the same exact bags as Herlina. it was just the differect colors. So, we got an Agnes Bi bag, the big 1, for 45. And I got another bag for 125. They said it's new collection and I bought it on the expensive area. Don't know if I was overpriced. But i think it's OK. If I got overpriced, it can't be more than 10rmb anyway.

After, we went to Coco Curry @ Xujiahui's Metro City. It's delicious. How about a franchise in Indonesia? Hm... pretty good. I just need a capital then. :D
We went back and reach the dorm around 8.
And, i di my laundry.. :D


05/03
What id I do today?
Lol. I was planning to go to the church, but I got off @ 9:15. So I just skipped it and prepare myself to go to PuHuiTang. I took the bus 43, get off at the Indoor Stadium, then ride a taxi to the place. The driver said it's really close (but I don't know where, and Michael said it was kinda far.. so I took the taxi), and I said I don't know which building and I was in hurry, so I don't want to waste my time walking. LOL.. yea... 11 RMB.. huehehe...

So, I got this nice BBQ lunch party invitation from Cisca Wikelling (hope i spell it right). Apparently her guests are all Chinese. Yea!! It's a nice opportunity for me. In fact that her guests can't speak English (some are them are learning, but can't speak really well. but i'm impressed that they are willing to learn it!). We are boiled corn, w/ butter... BBQ pork ribs (i don't care about the Pig/Pork Flu... the meat is not contagious if we cooked it properly... and we are not gonna get the flu bcoz we eat it... We gonna get that flu if we are weak and we get around the animal... So, ppl... pls stop worrying about things! Life is to worthed to be wasted on that kind of thing.. but, if many worried, then I got no competitor of eating those meat and it will cost cheaper... :D thx ppl! lol), then.... KERUPUK! + GADO2... It tasted better that the 1 in Bali Bistro! In fact, Cisca's Gado2 is really nice!!! Did I mentioned that Cisca's mom is an Indonesian and her dad is a Suriname's? It was fantastic! I know her from a Rotary Club (bcoz once I attended a Rotary Shanghai meeting), and I think I should thank Rotary for making my life more colorful. Then, the ultimate dessert is bread pudding. Cisca put walnut, cranberries, and raisins inside the bread pudding. Then, it came w/sweet nice butter sauce. It's delicious! Cisca is a chef. Her cook is beyond excelent. It was just amazing. One thing I forgot to do is drinking the wine. It was the Merlot (Australian). It's a good one.. >.<

There, I met Tom, Cisca's husband. He is doing things in CSR (as a consultants for American co.). Wow! It's like my law of attraction doing something. So funny, because the co. I worked now is a co. that do a CSR for another co.. I believe that we could collaborate someday.

I was staying there until 5. Before I left, I got a nice home tour. Tom showed me the home. I think it's really a home sweet home. It got a nice view, nice room, nice bathrooms (3 bathrooms? or 4? i forgot), nice kitchen, nice balcony on the top of the building... It got everything. Their home is on the top of the apartment! 29th floor. :D i bet it's the best room in that building. ^^ Cisca told me that the kitchen is not as nice as I said. It's because she's a chef (professional 1), and back at her CA home, she got the real kitchen. One thing I can't forgot... I was fascinated at her knife sets. :D

After, I headed toward HuangPi T St. I went to Barbie's. Jacob told us (Rotaractors) to meet in front of the Isetan, thengo to Shum's for a meeting. I was wrooooong. I should get off at Nanjing Xi Lu St., Line 2. It was because of the stupid map. It was wrong. Well, maybe it was because the Isetan was there, then now it's relocated. Lol. Yea, another experience. Another 11RMB.

Shum's was really nice. It got a fancy bathroom, he shower is nice, but it's kinda small i think. And the price is really nice, lol.. 6000RMB (very expensive). But, yes, it's nice. Then we talked about fund raising and community service things. Also, we talked about Club Service and membership. The Rotaract life will be good here. :D Surely, we'll have a great ride within 2 or 3 weeks. I will just rent a bicycle. It's gonna be cool to ride to Pudong. We'll cross the bridge. Can't wait to do that.

A meeting w/out foods is boring. So, we ordered pizza. 15" and 12". I ate 2 pcs 15" and 1pc of 12". I was fed up (after nice party at Cisca's, I got another 1). What else do we got? Beer, Pocky, Coke, n i don't know what it called. hahaha... It was 6 of u, until Lana (Jacob's girl) came and we become 7. We left Shum's @ 9:40ish. The others went to the MRT 1st. Enrico n me wait for Shum to get her money. She had no more cash and she needed to pay Enrico for the dinner. After, Enrico n me ride the T. We talked a lot. And we just love to talk. Until we missed the station (ppl Sq.) which we shld interchange to the line 1 (frm the line 2). Thx God it's only 1 st. Then at ppl sq., we took the wrong T. It went to the opposite direction. Thx God again, it's only 1 stop (again). Enrico said he was following me. I was following him as well. It was just hillarious.

I got off at the Sh. indoor St., coz I just kept talkin w Enrico. From movies to work. Remind me to looked for someone (Chinese) who speaks English well, who could be a translator, and also s.o who could do a hospitality job. Then, I took the 43 bus. Surprisingly, when I was just about to got off, I met Dorina! With Miwa, and a Turkish guy (sorry i forgot our name).. We walked back to dorm together. We took the way beside the school. Apparently the gate locked already. The guy was told us to jump. And he did, so we could see how we shld do. Dorina went second, Miwa, then I'm the last 1. Nice 1 though. I will never forget abt it. Next time it got locked again, I'd just jump over it. LOL.

And, i got to rest now. Tommorow gonna be a long day.
Work hard, play hard.

*recharging*

Blessing in Disguise

Another blessing in disguise situation was happened to me.
Yesterday, I went to HuaQiao Foundation (Asionics Building, 6 Lane 1279, Zhong Shan Xi Road Shanghai 200051, China). I went there by taking the 224 bus and get down in the West Terminal (or something sounds like that) then walk for about 5 minutes. I was using the metro/bus card to pay, but then I didn't put it back to my wallet as I always do. So, yea, I lost it. It might be slipped out when i managed to stuffed it into my jeans pocket, or my ba, or even my wallet/bag when I was walking... or I forgot where I put it, somewhere in Asionic building. I was so upset when I found out that the card is missing. It's worthed 133RMB (113 credit balance and 20 for the card deposit). I hope someone in Asionics found it and return it to me soon. *I told some ppl there abt it*

In HuaQiao, I met some students from JiangNan University. We, sponsored by Frank and I think Tom too, were going to Shanghai Botanical Garden. Wang Wen, my English student and my Chinese teacher (haha... we teach each other), who is the one who taking charge of everyone is buying us the 1-way metro card. On the way, we met up with the other students from Fudan, Jiaodong, and either SISU or SUFE. All of the are Chinese, except me (Ina) and LeeJaeSung (Kr). Surprisely, the ticket entrance for the garden was free also. I think Frank was funded the whole trip. Another freebies... we got free lunch. JiangNan's stdnt backpacks and bags were filled by cherry tomatoes, oranges, cheese, peanut butter, fruit jam, biscuits, bread, chocolates, candies, chips, etc... it just so many. We were fed up.

After lunch and chat (and playing cards), most of the students take the park car and went to the peony garden. We, the rest, about 11 people were walking because some of us (incld. me) were lucky enough to collect a free plant from the garden. Our tiket were ended with 2, 5, or 8 (mine was 8). After several minutes of walking and detrour, we finally reached the peony garden. Surprisingly Frank was there. He called me several times until I realized that I've been called (lol). he gave me a bottle of pineapple-orange juice. I felt it very refreshing after the walk. After taking some pictures, Frank left and we got a short brief meeting in the garden.

Finally we have to say goodbye to each other. I went back to HuaQiao with the fellow friends I came with earlier. After resting for about 15 minutes in Asionics, we went out for dinner. It was a pleasant dinner. The dishes were very delicious. Ten of us really satisfied. Wang really picked the right menu. Another happy ending was applied here. Again, the dinner is free!

Then the time is up. It was 8:30, and everyone worried whether I still could catch up the bus or not. The answer is yes, coz the bus number 224 and 909 still operates until 23:--. I reached the dorm at 9pm.

Conclusively, life is unredictably beautiful. Even something I don't like happened, there is always something that makes me smile, laugh, and enjoy my life. Filled my life with gratitude is definitely helped me to enhance myself.
