As promised to @vinasiahaya dan @iipewepe. This was the very first time I spent Christmas away from my family. The last 22 years, every Christmas eve would be spent in one of the relatives' or at our house. We would have dinner, service, then take a family picture. There would be a lot of hassle. Mom would yap about cleaning the house, my room, help my sister cook macaroni schotel, pick up food, etc etc. And then all the big family would gather and we would spent a warm cheerful Christmas evening together. On 24th December last week, it occurred to me that I would be alone at Christmas eve. Me and friends who were staying in Manchester had plans for Christmas day arranged already. But what about Christmas eve? Usually when I'm home, we would spent Christmas eve with family and on Christmas day we would be very busy with all papa's guest coming over. So instead of surrounded by people as usual, I would be alone. Got panic for a second. I was considering to invite some friend...

Realized that it has been a very long time since I last did a wardrobe post, now it's time. I haven't taken many decent wardrobe pictures these past months. Not that the wardrobe pics here are super awesome or anything. Due to the cold weather, naturally I wear hundreds of layers every time going out. I only have one winter, so gotta make it count. Recently purchased this elbow patched sweater. Finally yeaaaaay!

These two go to my keces @dhuii and @karinarenata the flamingo, the penguin, and the peacock

Rambelita tralala. Wah sudah episode empat, cepat juga ya bok. Kalo sinetron ini bagaikan.... Well sebenarnya kalo dibanding sinetron episode empat masih perkenalan karakter kali ya. Hahahahahahaha. *petir* Kalo chapter empat di komik sudah satu buku mi. Yayaya. As always, stuck nulis essay. Masih essay yang sama dgn yg kemarin.

Moving on. Kemarin malam habis latian buat acara natal IF-Man, rame2 pergi makan dan had the most random conversation. Mule bahas Harmoko, Diana Pungki, sampe saingan hapalin UUD 45 (yg dengan ngotot dimenangkan Rivel tentunya hahahahaha). Terus, thanks to Bintang P.

Sambutlah Youtube links of the aforementioned!! 1! Saipul...

like usual, after writing essay and report i'm gonna ramble here. tonight i have several topics in mind, which are: danilela's tweet of the week, classic manga heroes, principle of purchasing paintings, and some cool phrases heard in classes! yessss very erudite rite.... 1) tweet of the week stumbled on a couple of witty tweets, both by @buyungbengnga "berbahagialah org yg fotonya dijadikan sebagai dp bbm pasangannya. it means they are proud to have you in their life." - @buyungbengnga the first tweet, i think, is true. you wouldn't put someone's picture as you display picture if you're ashamed of them, would you? well, i don't. that's why my current dp bbm is a picture of monkey painting. not that it resembles my boyfriend in anyway, please! it's a painting i fell in love with, told him about it, which he looked for, found, and bought for me! emmmah Pywedont :* "ribu2na ini mama2 penjaga pasien yang baru. sumpu'na desadesana. su...

One of my flatmate, Heather, celebrated thanksgiving a week (or two) ago. So she so made a thanksgiving dinner and invited us!! Yeay Heather!! I love to watch American TV series, so have always been wondering what American thanksgiving would taste like. I told Heather this and she said what we had that evening was pretty much what she usually had back home. One more time. Yeay Heather!! So with the help from some of the guys downstairs, we had turkey, stuffing, killer mashed sweetpotatoes w/ marshmallow, mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy on everything, corn bread, cheese, apple pies, and wine. Maipo Shiraz. Deliciousness. my first turkey ~ horeeee syalala Lately my posts have been around food, have it not? Well, holiday is just around the corner even tough I have a 9am class tomorrow. And I have one more food-related post, our class just had winter dinner yesterday! I know, I already started dieting again. To prepare before the actual holiday come. Phew.

An old hobby that lately came again. Since these two were meant as doodles, I didn't exactly put much thought into it. Hence the hideous thin-strokes area.... Not that the doodles are pretty or anything. But still it's my own creation, proud of it :D My poor editing skill didn't help that much, but actually I prefer it like this better. Stronger colors and less ugly thin-strokes area....

As promised, a post on meals with several of my classmates. Ms. Eseosa, Ms. Chiamaka, Ms. Daniella Good cook, good cook, good dinner guest :P Nigerian Dinner: yams, two chicken dishes (sorry, don't remember the Nigerian name), white rice, fried plantain. Mashed potatoes stuffed in roasted paprika, pan fried pork steak, with mushroom and broccoli. Dinner at Missoula Taiwanese Hot-Pot at Kevin's This BBQ sauce is put into our bowls. To my surprise, the sauce (which has dried lizard fish in it) actually tasted good. So far I've noticed, Indonesian are the ones who like taking pictures SO MUCH. Which not necessarily a bad thing, right? Right?? Hahaha anyway. This is Dhruv, my Indian friend who taught me some bolly moves. Pakistani Dinner at Mahvish's. I really enjoy the food. Mahvish lives in the suburban area in Greater Manchester with her husband and two kids. She's the kind of perfect lady, you know, the kind who can cook, sew, paint, smart in class, pretty much good...

It's a miracle! I can post videos on youtube!! Hehe... Sang something, not out of this world good... Hoping it's not total crap either :P Originally by Ben Lee.
