Mie Ayam Abadi, Cake-venture, Desserts at PIK

Today I had a chance to meet up with Dennise again. We are going to eat noodles, do menipedis and eat desserts! Such a fun day out. However, I am having the guilt of not going to go to the hair salon for my haircut lesson. Why is this guilt keeps on appearing everyday in this summer holidays. I can't believe my highlight of my summer holiday would be "haircutting lessons haunting me every second in the summer". 

So Dennise picked Vivi and I up and headed to eat noodles. It was alright. Love the noodle. Why should I eat so quickly and not savour every taste of it, I DONT UNDERSTAND, I am a fast eater okay, Can't deal with it. 

Then afterwards we went to do some menipedis at Symphony. I had a hard time choosing which nail art to pick but then I decided for the tribal art since it is the hardest and I haven't had the chance to attempt it every since I saw someone doing it on youtube. And not to mention I don't have the equipment like the striper and the patience to do my left nails when my right nails are done. so many reason s for me to keep on postponing to do a tribal nail art. But finally my obsession has been fulfilled by going to the salon and let the pro do it. One slight glitch though, I forgot to choose white for one of the color layers of the tribal art, so all the colors on my nails kinda clash, but oh well, I love the end product, so that's it. I should have chosen pastel colors instead like Dennise's but too late now. You guys can see our nail products in the pictures down below :) 

Then we continued eating desserts at PIK! First stop: Cake a boo. Such a sweet shop with a very unique setting of a cake train instead of a sushi train. We should have sat in the cake train instead of a separate table. gah. . We ordered nutella burger, hakuna banana and raspunzel. The nutella burger was delightful but it was kinda mini. The hakuna banana despite the name banana that might project the understanding of having more banana in the cake which determines the usage of the term "banana" on the cake's name, was kind of an understatement that is there was only a dollop of banana goo inside the white chocolate covered cake. I could only taste the thick flavor of the white chocolate rather than the banana itself. And it was too sweet although I am a sweet-tooth myself. Lastly, the raspunzel was another two thumbs up! It was so light compared to the hakuna banana. It's bouncy and fun to eat :) 

we ordered all the three cakes from the same page on the menu

such cute decoration. featuring unknown family group

After cake-a-boo we still got time to stop by a bubble tea shack called Ding-tea. Lucky for Helen who ordered a bubble tea since she has school, there's a promo of a buy1get1 on every weekdays. We bought the passionfruit green tea and mix-berry juice. 

We still got time to stop by at another dessert shop called the North Pole. Dude, the place was full of teenagers. Good thing there was a table for the three of us since we were a small group. It took us a while to order. I was super full and decided to snatch a nibble or two from Vivi's ice cream. HAHA. The worst decision happened was Vivi and I ordered the ice cream on a cup instead of a cone. Stupid! STUPID! 

such a plain jane she is huh. 

this mojito tastes refreshing

Dennise's lemon sth i forgot. so good but she has to finish it so quickly since we had to go

The place was awfully packed and we had to wait for such a long time for our two simple orders. Moreover, the small portion of the ice cream it was just too unbearable for such a steep price range. Try to pick up on your pace on serving the customers there North Pole, I am sure you will get good reviews from satisfied customers. Sorry to sound a bit too harsh.

Painting nails on the beach

Today's guest was Savitri. I invited her over because we wanted to do the video that we had postponed due to some circumstances. We were planning on making a Disney Lyric Challenge video. I haven't uploaded it yet although I have edited it. But to some extent, I am still not satisfied with the finished product and the video takes 18minutes. It's too long and it gets boring along the way. I wish we could redo it again. We also did a Pop song guessing game. That was fun. It only lasted 5 minutes though because out of nowhere my camera started to stop without anyone prompting it to stop. So it was like an incomplete recording. It didn't even reach the fun part yet. Anyway, we were planning to do another video anytime soon before I go back to Indo.

At around 3:30 I made my move down the beach. I was late for 30minutes. LOL. Sorry peeps. Everyone was there already. The boys went swimming while I started to paint Sonia's nails. Mani-pedi time.

aww does this remind you of something? hehehe. 

someone caught this itsy-bitsy fishie. 

love the colors of this towel! 

lol. 

I am going to link the video as soon as possible when I have uploaded it to the internet. 

Googly Eyes

Another post about nail arts! YEY! Before starting on the nails, I would like to explain about what a lazy day today was been for me. Here we go... woot woot, a journal post :)

peace out <3 

The intention of swimming was blown away because I started to feel home sick. I only have at least a week left before I fly back to Sydney. The urge of spending more time at home empowered any motivations I had the previous night. I had a plan on what I should do today being nicely organised the previous night.

Anyway, later that morning, I had picked a book called The Search for Wondla and an Indonesian book called Silsilah Di Kitab Kejadian in which I had the motif on reading through them but after a few flip of pages, I tossed it to the side of the table and without hesitant reached out for my laptop.

Another "thing" happened today, I finally paid my overdue amount at University Terraces after receiving constant warning emails. I had mentioned to the guy that I would pay the overdue amount as soon as I got back to Sydney which was on the 27th of February (arrival date), however he didn't believe me and instead, warned me this would be reported to a debt collection agency and a bad record will be written under my name which will last at least for 7 years. Honestly, I was reluctant on paying something so huge of amount via internet especially to the insecurity of internet signals here in Indonesia, what if anything goes wrong when I was paying it online. I am not the most tech-savvy person and call me a caveman or anything for not relying the internet especially at this gadget age, I don't really care. I worry, okay!

I watched a lot of videos on youtube. A worm of curiosity grew inside of me and I watched how to read palms or fingers. It is pretty interesting how the three phalanges of the fingers depict different successes for each segment. Sort of a fortune-telling action that is and I had to stop before it went to far. You never knew how boredom could strike you to do stuffs you have never even thought of before.

Moving on, after lunch, I tried to clean up the cupboards in my dining room. It looked okay, I found new mugs and found tumblrs which I will bring to Sydney :)

Then, went for grocery shopping.

And, the highlight for today, nail paintings! Watched a video on how to make googly eyes nails <3 Super fun to make but you have to have sturdy hands while making the dots. Patience is definitely key and what makes waiting fun? Watching Conan O Brien's shows on youtube of course.

After the nails are done, I came to realise that these googly eyes look more like frog eggs... LOL 

Watching Miss Indo 2014 right now! Saw Diana Jo on TV! Super psyched! All the best, girl! Seems a bit bizarre watching someone familiar on tv; in a positive way of course.. HAHA 

Got mail?

The OPI nail polish Cim bought has finally arrived! I took a look at my mail box and found this Australian Post card relating about the deliverance of the nail polish! I had to take this card along with and redeem it in the Australian Post Office near Cim's new place. It was quite far away and fortunately Angelica was willing to show me the place and accompanied me there.

When I got the parcel, I could smell the nail polish odour so distinctly. It was as if one of the bottles was opened or something. However, I didn't straightly open the parcel in the post office. I still put it inside my bag and continued back to uni for my next lecture.

Back at home, after class, I opened the parcel, there was a pink bubble wrap protecting the 4 nail polishes from breakage. However, one of the nail polish got broken. Now that explains the extreme nail polish scent penetrating from the package. It was a red shatter OPI, and well, I told Cim about the broken nail polish, she emailed the person selling the nail polish. To our good luck, the seller is ready to refund 8$.

Later on that night! I quickly removed my pink metallic nails and switched it to this Shrek/Kermit-the-frog green nails! I freaking love it!

kyaa.. LOVE this green so much!!! 

Speaking of the Group Enzyme protocol project, I met up with one of my group mates that night. We did it together, and we were finally done with the project! PHEW. Thank God for that. At last, we are done with the first draft of the protocol that has to be submitted tomorrow during BABS lab.

Chinese New Year and Valentine Nails

I decided to paint my nails again ! This year is the year of the snake. But then, I was struggling in finding an easy way to create snake scales nail art. Anyway, I decided to do valentines nails instead. This is a great celebration to utilize the heart nail polish that Sheila and Willdy gave me last year :3.

Another difficult situation in this process is the drawing of the jigsaw puzzle using a toothpick. My hand was shaking terribly while doing my right nails.

Oh yeah, I have been wanting to post about the most addicting ipad game ever called, Tapped Out. It's similar to The Sims but instead the characters are from cartoon The Simpsons.
