Saturday Night at d'ocean Seafood Resto

My college friends and I went to d’ocean restaurant to have a dinner this Saturday night. Actually, we were all being treated by 4 of my friends because they have just had their birthday.

Quoted from d’ocean website, here is the explanation:

“d’ocean is a family restaurant with specially assorted seafood dishes such as prawns, squid, crab, fish and clams. Combination of local spices with a unique cooking technique prepared by professional and experienced chefs, creating dishes with appealing presentations and authentic traditional taste. The essence of the dishes are found in its freshness and premium ingredients originated ranging from Sabang to Merauke, combined with an excellent mixture of spices. Explore the unforgettable dining experience at d’ocean premium seafood restaurant with the comfortable and cozy atmosphere.”

In my own opinion, interior of D'Ocean is quite modern, this restaurant has two floors with a capacity of 150 people, more or less. And yeah, this is a cozy and comfy place with delicious-prizy foods. But I think the prize is quite worth with what we get and what they serve.

Wanna see how that place interior looks like, here it is. I googled it because I didn’t take any picture on that night.

How about the menu? Actually I have lil bit forget what we ordered on that night. But I still remember some. Here is the easiest menu to be memorized, Tahu Telur Merapi! I remember this one because of its unique name and appearance. It was made of tofu covered by eggs.

Next, another menu that I can still remember is this one, Udang Galah Bakar Saus Madu (Grilled Prawns with Honey Sauce). Here's the picture.

As far as I remember, we also ordered Hot Plate Kangkung Lombok Balacan (Lombok Swam Cabbage Balacan on Hot Plate) and some more that I cannot remember any longer. -_-

Good Night, Sleep Tight

My insomnia is getting worse, blopple!

It is already 6.13 morning here, but I haven't take some sleep yet, even just for a minute. Oh my God, somehow I scare with this condition. This is the most bad effect after had an exam, always. I cannot fix my sleep schedule so that I will always wake up in the night, and take a long-sleep in the morning until afternoon.

Call me a nocturnal mammal then. I know that this is not good at all for my body, but I still find a way to get rid of this bad habit. Do one of you have some tips 'n trick to help me heal my insomnia? Tell me soon, then.

I have an appointment today, this afternoon. So I think better I take some sleep now, 4 or 5 hours before I go out. I don't wanna have 'a panda eyes' so I have and have to sleep, sleep, and sleep.

Happy Sunday all, and good night for my self, have a nice sleep!

Friday Night at d'cost Plaza Semanggi

Hi, blopples!

Last Friday Night (January, 28th 2011), I and eleven of my friends were having a regular social gathering, or usually called 'arisan' in this country. Girls time! For this month, we choose d'cost seafood Plaza Semanggi as the venue. Um... Maybe before I going too far, I will explain you a little about what 'arisan' is, for those of you who don't know yet.

Quoted from wikipedia, here is the description about arisan itself:

"Arisan is an Indonesian social gathering in which a group of friends and relatives meet monthly for a private lottery. Each member of the group deposits a fixed amount of money into a pot, then a name is drawn and that winner takes home the cash. After having won, the winner's name is removed from the pot until each member has won and then the cycle is complete. This is called a fixed lottery because it is fair to all participants in that each member wins an equal amount over the course of a complete cycle."

For me, arisan is not about the money or who will win the cash, it's more about having a quality time with your friends. As usual as always, I love togetherness, and arisan is one that can build a togetherness. So I love Arisaaan!! hahaha.

So, here is the story, the members of this arisan is me, Nana, Uti, Ninda, Tifani, Fara, Clara, Icha, Linda, Rani, Mayang and Dhanti. But sadly, Dhanti couldn't come because she had to meet her father. And, oh yup, we had Fenny too, she is not the member, but she is such a very kind-hearted angel who want to take pictures of us. Here are some of the pictures.

As I have mentioned before, We went to d'cost seafood, it is kind of seafood restaurant
with a quite-affordable price. We were talking, taking photos, and do so many things while waiting for our orders.

And here they are, we ordered Gurame Asam Manis, Tumis Kangkung Balacan & Sambal Terasi, Gurame Bakar and Cumi Saus Padang (if I'm not mistaken). Um... I googled the photos because I didn't take any photos of foods. But, don't worry, this is similar enough with what we ate. If it's compared with anothers seafood resto, d'cost is quite cheap and affordable, and the service is good enough. You should come here together with your friends or family so that you can share the order, I mean, It's quite impossible to eat one Gurame Asam Manis by yourself, rite? haha.

Over all, I love this night, nice gathering, and I feel so full! hahaha. And, oh yup, we got two winners this time, because we'll have a holiday on February, so we cannot meet up each other on that month. So, here they are, Icha & Linda! The winner of January and February. Look at what Linda hold, oh, they must be so happy during the holiday :)

Icha and Linda

Happy Holiday all!

Kamu. Kami. Kita.

Hai,

Ini dini hari dan aku belum juga merasakan kantuk. Inilah efek samping yang paling malas aku temui selepas kita menghadapi ujian, ujian tengah semester pun ujian akhir.

Karena mata ini belum mau terpejam, iseng-iseng aku membuka salah satu situs social networking di pagi buta begini, agak gila memang, dan tebak apa yang aku temui? Beberapa puluh foto yang baru saja selesai kau unggah beberapa jam yang lalu. Foto-foto yang menggambarkan kebahagiaan yang semburatnya nampak jelas terpancar dari senyummu dan juga teman-temanmu serta kekasihmu di dalam foto-foto itu.

Kamu punya hidup yang nyaris sempurna, tidakkah kamu sadar? Orang tuamu kaya raya, orang tua kekasihmu pun kaya raya, parasmu ayu bahkan mungkin paling ayu dari seluruh kami yang kamu sebut teman, hubungan percintaanmu langgeng dan aku yakin kekasihmu punya rasa cinta kasih yang teramat besar untuk dirimu, keluargamu sempurna, dengan ayah, ibu dan saudara-saudara kandungmu yang jelas sangat mencintaimu.

Lantas mengapa keluhan begitu sering menyambangi dirimu dan memaksa bibir tipismu yang indah itu untuk melontarkannya?

Early Dinner with Pals @ Hoka Hoka Bento Ambassador Mall

Hi there, I can't sleep so here we go, posting in the middle of night.

This post is about what I've done on Thursday afternoon (January, 27^th 2011) with my college friends (boards of Himpunan Mahasiswa Manajemen Universitas Bakrie 2010/2011).We were gathered together and had an early dinner at Hoka Hoka Bento Japannese Restaurant at Ambassador Mall. We were all happy, noisy, and also hungry, hahaha. Some of us were busy on taking a picture, some others were chatting and talking about whatever the topic was, even one of us was doing a  trick, so entertaining! And also full of yelling, hahaha. These are some pictures from us. Enjoy.

It was so amazing and full of joy, togetherness and happiness. Love you all, friends!

Hi ma'am, I hope you won't be surprised with this letter. No, this is not the second part of my essay that I've done in final exam last Thursday, absolutely not.

Umm... and I don't make this letter in order to get a good mark from you, no, no at all, because I know that I'm not really good at writing and I bet I'll get a bad score if I ask you to do so.
