..After Our Five Years..

sabtu siang jam 12 kok berasa kaya jam 8 pagi yaaa.. wah kota ini, tepatnya negara ini paling bisa nyocok2in matahari sama nama hari. kalo sabtu=matahari setengah ngantuk=ga panas2 amat=boleh tidur lagi.. so,hari ini bangunnya jam10.30 dong.. dan kepala pusing gara2 minum wine kebanyakan tadi malem. my good friend, ming2 is in town..so we went to this place called brewerks asik banget untuk ngebir..but since we didnt make any reservation and its friday night..jadi pindah ke sebelahnya, the wine garage.. abis rame banget..but the place is cool..utk nongkrong..bisa nonton bola, main billiard, main dart..katanya sih the food is not bad.. my friend, jeffri, has this membership card (he has every member card of every club in town....!!) lumayan dapet diskon 25% buka sebotol wine diabisin bertiga.. gimana ga mabok wine.. jadi deh bangun kepala agak pusing trilili.. suamiku langsung mempraktekkan pijit turkey (are you sure of this, dear?) and mijit2 mukaku sama kupingku.. ampir aja turn on (fyi gizz, we do get turn on in the mornings..)

so this is a beautiful saturday morning.. hari ini mungkin mau ke suntec, nonton flightplan and liat bis travel baru buat jalan2 ke malaysia - katanya sih ada karaoke lounge nya..

we'll have a great weekend and hope you will, too..

lalu aku pergi ke armenia street, maksudnya mau ke bras basah street ke art museum liat pamerannya Tapies.. saking males nanyanya ( Giz, kamu nanti jangan kayak papa suka males nanya) malah ke Asean Culture Museum, tapi karena pamerannya cuma Pameran Mangkok Cina Jaman Dulu, males juga.. cuma patung di depannya bagus kan?

i imagine, it is like your dad with your daughter ( nanti nama anak kamu G juga ya depannya? ).. "Opung, ayo donggg ke museum.." gitu kira kira kalo divisualisasikan.

Bring your daughter to museum, make them loves books, art and history.. karena cuma dengan cara itu mereka bisa melihat dunia, melihat bahwa ada banyak manusia yang berbeda, makanan yg berbeda, bahasa .. semoga dengan itu nanti anakmu gak jadi sok tau dan cuma mau bener sendiri.

sekarang, lagi gak enak badan nih.. mungkin kebanyakan di gym tapi males makan.

dear giselle,

you may think that i'm weird, or you even will laugh out loud when i tell you this, it's okay, but to me, right now, genting is the most romantic place on earth.. at least until now (since new york and paris and san francisco are still in our pipeline). i dont know if by the time you read this they still use skyway cable car or that its been changed into a helicopter trip, but, if they do, then you can ask us how did it really feel so we can give you the details. but, i have had the most breathtaking experience being hundreds of km above the land, just me and my love (your dad). the return trip is much much better, since we won a couple of hundreds RM ( can you believe it - I was the one who told your dad to bet 25RM on -red- but he put the 100RM chip instead - so instead of winning 25RM, we won 100RM on that one bet!!!) and before that we spent a lovely afternoon at Starbucks (you know Starbucks, right) drinking coffee with cappucino popcorn (you will love this popcorn) watching a lot of mercedes dropping off the uncles and aunties.. it was good.. and we had lunch in this huge indoor playground for kids.. they have lots of games inside and outside the building.. see this picture.. they even have an indoor boat trip, trains (see the railway..) you will love it...we talked about you all the time..we'll sure bring you here..

so to genting with love i am (your dad) and will be back with more love (your dad and you)

here is your mom and your dad, 452 M from the ground at Twin Tower KL.. its been a long time to wait in the queing just to go on top of the tallest twin tower on earth ( just remember the date, when you read this maybe nobody notice about this tower ), so your mom have to spent time with buying 3 pairs of shoes in Vincci, the most famous malaysian shoes this year..

we go to Genting Highland, which is really a highland.. sometimes we cant see the building because of the cloud covered. after we climb the highland ( i mean by cable car ), we going to casino and the security ask your parents to go out, just because i wasnt using the t-shirt or something with 'collar'.. we just laughing and made fun of it.. we took some coffee and popcorn, i hug ur mom then your mom bought me a jacket because its windy and freezing.. and we neet to buy something with 'collar' so that we can reenter the casino..

so we go back to the Casino de Montecarlo, playing roulette.. we win RM100.. its just like winning US$ 1 million.. so we go to the hotel with a bunch of happiness..

thats a part of a story about our weekend in KL... its just a small parts, of course we have some stories more, like going to spa.. missing the flight.. etc..

so, keep the world moving..

Jadi, sembari menunggu kamu pulang, aku mencoba resep baru : ayam goreng bumbu pedas kering dan sop tahu ampela rasa NTUC.

(1) ayam goreng bumbu pedas kering :

ayam setengah ekor (S$ 2) di potong dua bagian, lalu di siram 1 sendok makan minyak goreng cap bebek, tambahkan mentega diatasnya, taburi royco cair dan bubuk secukupnya, lalu taruh diatasnya irisan bawang putih.. setelah selesai, masukkan kedalam microwave, putar ke yang paling panas selama 3 menit.

keluarkan ayam, taburi dengan tepung ayam goreng pedas (beli di NTUC $1), masukkan ke dalam kulkas selama nunggu kamu pulang :)

setelah kamu pulang, (nanti) digoreng dengan minyak goreng cap bebek yang panas..

lalu hidangkan dengan cinta.

(2) sop tahu ampela rasa NTUC

potong ampela dan taburi dengan mentega, bawang putih dan minyak goreng 1 sendok ( pakai saja bekas rendaman ayam yang diatas, kan sama bahannya..)
lalu masukan ke dalam microwave, 3 menit seperti yang ayam tadi.
potong2 tahu dan baso ikan, masukan ke dalam rendaman air royco dan garam secukupnya.potong2 sayur sawi..

tunggu sampai kamu datang, (nanti) masukan bahan2 tadi kedalam panci..
jika baunya sampai semerbak ke tetangga dan mereka tidak protes, berarti masakan sudah matang..

hidangkan panas2, taburi bubuk cinta secukupnya ( ingat lagu ; too much love will kill u ?)

catatan: gambar diatas adalah sebelum digoreng.. tentu terlihat kurang sedap. kenapa tidak setelah digoreng baru difoto ? mana mungkin ??? belum sempat di foto, sudah masuk ke perut.

selamat makan.

sometimes when we were so stupid, we do a comparison about what we have and what other people have. Then we become unsatisfied and forget to say thanks.
lalu apa hubungannya dengan 'the best wife for me' segala?

hmmm, i made some comparison ( when i was stupid)... and found i have the best wife compare to other wifes i saw..

need a reasons? in here! inside me.. i know and realize i have something very precious, yang selama ini gak terlalu dipikirin.
i have the best wife on earth.. need reasons? it doestn't matter anymore.. i know it. I already found it. The best wife on earth.

memang ribet kalo punya rumah sendiri, ada aja barang yang kurang... kalo kemaren kurang tempat sampah, hari ini kurang tempat sampah lagi.. meja, kursi, taplak piring, tempat garam.. bla bla.. bla.. do you think it is enough ? no way, we never feel enough.. itu esensinya manusia.. kurang teruss.. dulu gaji 750rb .. sekarang 75 juta.. tetep aja kurang.
lalu kapan kah kita puas ? in your dream... :)

badan gue rada gak enak, mungkin masup angin ( bukan masuk ya .. masup, ini istilah si ikin ).. tapi tadi sempet makan mie sapi.. itu sejenis mie ayam, tapi dengan topping sapi.. bahannya cuma indomie rasa ayam di rebus dengan air+mentega+royco penyedap rasa+irisan bawang putih.. untuk toppingnya.. rendang bawaan nyokap diiris tipis2.. taruh mentega di atasnya; tambahkan kecap pedas.. masukan dalam microwave, 2 menit pada temperatur sedang....
sajikan pada saat badan terasa panas dan hidung lagi meler.. bakal menu yang mantep tuh..

so, i already in bed.. where is my wife ?
hmm... still on the phone...

gut nait.
