Well look at that, it's been more than a week since the last post. It had been a slow week indeed. So here's just a quick sum-up of things which have been happening around here:

• Minggu pertama kuliah di ADVY. Mostly baru pengenalan matkul + dosennya. Matkul umum (trio Pancasila - Kewarganegaraan - Agama) ternyata terbukti lebih membosankan ketimbang dulu di arsitek, jadi akhirnya diputuskan untuk transfer nilai aja. :D Lumayan, udah kurang 3 matkul! As for the fellow classmates... I'll get to them sometime in the future. ;)
  

• Proyek esai punk bareng Ivan kayanya bakalan delayed. Kita sebenernya udah ke sana dan ngobrol² dengan mereka, dan mereka pun udah confirmed bahwa mereka nggak keberatan kalo kita motret² kegiatan mereka. The thing is we haven't got a good time to do a full-day coverage... tambahan lagi mereka lebih sering nongkrong malem, which is a big hit to our kit lenses. Well, that wouldn't be for long though. More on that later. ;) Yah, mudah-mudahan ntar ada waktu yg enak buat ngunjungi mereka lagi. Mudah-mudahan juga mereka masih nerima nanti waktu kita ke sana lagi --walaupun udah molor jauh dari jadwal.

Fast forward ke malam ini... makan-makannya ultah Anis, walaupun dia sendiri ultahnya udah Mei kemaren. Setelah ditagih-tagih terus selama... what, 4 months? akhirnya jadi juga. Hahah, we're such pushy people. ;p Tapi ini juga katanya untuk 'selametan' ibunya yg mau naik haji dalam waktu dekat ini. Well, congratulations. :)

Yg punya hajat... beserta menu utama. ;))

And here's the dish!


Acara makan² tadi juga cukup istimewa karena kebetulan kita kedatengan 'tamu kehormatan' di luar anak² yg biasanya... namely, pak ketua angkatan beserta nyonya. ;)


I didn't notice it before, but Dina's hair has gotten a bit longer. She looks good with that, I think. :) Setelah selesai makan tentunya masuk acara utama: petantang-petenteng di sana sambil ngobrol² nggak jelas. Dalam waktu yg lama. ;D Nggak berapa lama kemudian ada serombongan SPG nawarin Marlboro... nobody fell for the pretty faces though. None this time anyway, hahah!


Lots of hilarity as usual. Well, sitting near the group's jester, you just know you're prone to be cracking up your brain out sooner or later. :))


Tapi ada juga yg nggak banyak suara malem ini...

wes Kam, ra sah kelewat dipikir...

Sampai tiba saatnya bagian yg paling bikin yg punya hajat sepet: membayar bon.


But Anis was being somehow generous, biar tagihannya ngepas dia mesen beberapa es teler yg nggak lama segera meluncur ke meja... sambil menunggu pada selese ngabisin ituh bermangkuk-mangkus es teler, satu ciptaan pun dibuat:


.....Ada yg langsung kepikiran catchphrase Bondan Winarno di acara Wisata Kuliner? "Mmmm." God do we all loooove that line.

But wait. As pretty as the above dish *seems* to be, that... uh, THING, doesn't even qualify as a food. That, my friend, is a leftover dish. Sisa aer dari es teler + sisa jus tomat + kecap + daun kemangi + timun..... Ambyar specialty! :D

Dan kalo itu belom cukup, setelah itu tulang gurame pun juga ikut dimasukin... I'll leave it for your imagination to make up how it looks like. ;p

Ciao for now!
