Hot Chocolate

On the beggining of 1 April 2012, I just made a cup of hot chocolate to accompany me marrying the night.

Maybe, you're thinking that "this is just an ordinary chocolate milk". Nooooooooo!!!!

This is not an instant chocolate milk. This is HOT CHOCOLATE and it's very EASY to MAKE IT.




First, you must have :

- Milk, pure white milk

- Chocolate, I used a single bar of Dark Cooking Chocolate



Then :

- Cut the Dark Cooking Chocolate. You just need one lil piece of the bar for a cup of hot chocolate *I think I used 1/8 of the bar. There are some blocks on it. I just broke one block*

- Prepare a cup *this is for one cup of hot chocolate. I think I used a 250 ml cup*. It's better to pick a strong cup because we're gotta put it in microwave.

- Put the lil piece of chocolate in the cup.

- Pour the milk to the cup and fill the half of the cup. This will help you to reduce the chocolate flavor by pouring the milk when you think the flavor is too strong.

- Put the cup in the microwave. Set the time about 1,5 minutes

- After 1,5 minutes, stir the hot chocolate with a spoon. This will help the unmelted chocolate melt quickly.

- Your hot chocolate is ready! Just what I said, you can pour more milk to reduce chocolate flavor and put in the microwave again to make it warm in 30 secs.



Enjoy your hot chocolate!


Have a nice April!

Feels empty

Helllloooo! Long time ago I posted on June 2011. Now, I'm going to be on the middle of this 4th term. In this term, we're not gonna have any mid term tests. We only do the test when the module is finished. So it's just like finale test.

Well, that's just going to happen on the next terms until I graduate. Happy!

About Culture : Batik

Aww



Maybe it is too late to post this, but I think I'll still post this xp


It is about Batik, Indonesian Heritage which is recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage (proud of Batik! xD)

I used to wear batik once a week to the campus and now Scholar Committee in my campus required all of its member must use batik every Thursday



Talk about batik, half of my class choose Batik Class as their Art Class (see my posting : Hello June!)

It is happened when some of my friends promised to attend one of Batik Class together

Then, they promote it so effectively

Bunch of friends that 'rejected' from the class which was they're choosen because the class was full and didn't match with our lecture, joined the Batik Class too

They're thought , "It is better to choose Batik Class than I must wait for another class which is no certain schedule."

So, in their class, there are two scholar who are not from our major (Nutrition)

Different from the half of the class, Me and four of my friends joined Karawitan Jawa class

It is only few people but we're enjoyed it



Half of the class that choose Batik Class really dominated the class

They talked about Batik lecture almost every time they're given assignment

That's why I know a little (really little) about Batik



There are 3 kinds of Batik : Written, Stamp, and Textile

Written Batik motives created by hands

The craftmans wrote the motive into the fabric with Malam, it is like wax

Stamp Batik motives created with stamp

The craftmans stamped the fabric with Malam too

Textile batik created like printed fabric, has attractive colour, and cheaper than Written Batik and Stamp Batik



So, how do we see the difference between Batik?

It is kinda simple

First, we must see the difference between Written and Stamp Batik with Textile Batik

Take a look at the outside of the fabric, then take a look at the inside of fabric

If the fabric color inside the Batik is different with the outside, the it is Textile Batik

The inside color usually brighter than the outside color

If the fabric color inside and outside are the same, it is Written or Stamp Batik



How do we see the difference between Written and Stamp?

The Stamp Batik usually has stagnant motives like squares

So, all over the batik has this kind of square

The Written Batik usually has 'story' like story book

There are many motives in the batik represent a story

So, the batik has 'chrik' look all over the batik



That's my little knowledge about batik from my friend

Correct Me If I'm Wrong xD

Have a proud of being Indonesian and wear Batik! xD

About Culture : Javanese Language

Aww


I'm Indonesian, then so what??

Please note that we have so much tribes and has its own culture

But one thing for sure, We are nice, polite, and proud of our UNITY IN DIVERSITY (Bhineka Tunggal Ika in Javanese and Berbeda Namun Satu Jua in Indonesian) xD



Talking about tribes and cultures, It is true that each tribe has its own culture

How do we now which tribe is ours? It can be known from our parents

For example, if a Javanese (one of Indonesian tribes) married with a Javanese too then you will ba a Javanese too

What if our parents are mix tribe? It is fine ^ ^

If a Javanese married Sundanese then you will be Java-Sundanese ^ ^
You have double YEAY!



And so on I was born with a real Javanese

My Dad is Javanese. He is come from Yogyakarta and both of his parents are Javanese too

My Mom is Javanese. She is come from Solo and both of her parents are Javanese too

But, to be honest, I really love my Javanese blood but It is such a shame that I didn't learn it properly T.T



Every tribes has its own language and Javanese too

It has three kinds of language, Javanese Ngoko, Javanese Kromo and Javanese Inggil

But, I just review two, Ngoko and Kromo

Ngoko is like everyday language which is used to do conversation with friends or person who has known us very well

We use Kromo when we speak to older peoples, honourable person, or someone whom we don't know very well like parents, grandparents, new acquataince, royal family, and so on.

Then, I'm pretty good at Ngoko but in Kromo, I'm nothing T.T



I live in Indonesian Capital City, Jakarta, and I'm using Indonesian to comunicate

I also comunicate with Ngoko with my Javanese friends

My parents did comunicate with Javanese, but they're using Ngoko each other

So that, I learn Ngoko at home from my parents' conversation and I practice it with my Javanese friends




Why don't I practice Ngoko with my parents? NOPE!

Like I said before, I must use Kromo in order to speak Javanese to my parents but my parents only speak Ngoko to each other and Indonesian to their children.

Using Ngoko to your parents is very rude!

So, I didn't get a chance to learn Kromo at home T.T



Now that I mentioned it, what's the difference between Kromo and Ngoko?

For example, I'll choose a question, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

In Ngoko : AREP NING NGENDI?

In Kromo : BADEK TINDAK PUNDI?

COMPLETELY different right?

So, learn Javanese means to learn both Kromo and Ngoko, and TWO LANGUAGE at once



Well, you must NOTE THAT NOT EVERY JAVANESE's YOUTH CAN SPEAK JAVANESE

Like I said, I live in Jakarta and most of Javanese's youth who lived in Jakarta for a long time period can't speak Javanese (Ironic isn't it? But it is reality)

It is happened just like my case, but I'm still lucky because my parents still use Javanese Ngoko as everyday language for them so that I can learn it even I'm just listening.



But, it is not too late to learn ^^

I asked my parents to teach me Kromo and I can understand some Kromo when listening although I still can't respond with Kromo too

I asked my Javanese friends who can speak both Kromo and Ngoko too

Then, we started to speak Javanese everyday more confidently and It affects the class you know!

Some of "Jakarta's Javanese Youth" are trying to learn the Kromo and Ngoko

Even others tribes want to know the language too!

We are happy and welcome them to the real Javanese community

It is so much fun ^ ^ v



I love my Javanese Blood, Indonesian Blood, and totally PROUD OF BEING AN INDONESIAN as JAVANESE! YEAYYYY!!!!!! xD

Night to Sunrise Gadgets

My day always be NIGHT and my night always be DAY. Most people doing their hobbies or jobs in day but I choose night and willing to decrease my sleep time. My friends called me a NOCTURNAL and it's kinda popular at the class -_-a


I remembered, when we had an english class, the teacher said:

T : did you read the text book last night? (he asked the students)

S: yeesss

T: I know what you did last night... (the class started to silent)

T: You're sleeping,right? (the teacher smiled)


but, one of my friend suddenly said:

F: Riko didn't sir!

R: WHADAHELL?? (I glared him)


Fortunately, the teacher didn't respone that. I dunno whether he heard that or not, but the entire class heard that and made a bit noisy laughs.


Here I am, I always spend my way to campuss or home or anywhere by sleeping, if I go with public transportation or car with a driver. It'll be my favourite place to rest after my room. Oh yeah, there's one more place to sleep, a friend's host room.


One day, I brought my laptop to the campuss. I wanna do some jobs so I brought it. I put it on my desk and my neighboor friend looked at it.

M: is this your laptop? (she touched my laptop)

R: yes

M: wow! It's cute! I like the colour.

R: But it has been grazed.

M: I still like this white colour. Really, It is cute Riko!


She kept admire my laptop. Then she said something unpredictable

M: is it the one who always accompany you every night?

R: he? (that time I really don't understand what she meant)

M: this laptop! this is must be your sweetheart! hahahahahahha! (she laughed very hard)

R: ???!!! (then I LOLing xD)


Ehem! Actually, my laptop isn't the only one gadget to spend the night with! There are more items and enjoyable too! I didn't promote it, I just wanna share mine cx.

This my laptop, It is white and she said it is cute.

Well, if it's black, I'm gonna die by mosquitos -_-a

This is my earphone, it is really compatible with my laptop and mobile phone

These are my bunch of CDs, I have much songs and pictures in it

This is my desk lamp. I dunno why it had red spot like a blood spot on it

That's it! There are two more items, my phone and its charger. But I decided not to publish it in here heheheh.

See yaa guys! cx

Fashion!

Fashion, a simple thing to describe yourself. Watch out! You're gonna make people think about your behavior, your style, even your nationality or religion. Most of people like to see you from the outside, like I said, it's the simple thing to describe yourself. Whatdayathink?

This is one of my favourite BATIK long SKIRT
