Smells Like Coffee

Yep, it's my birthday today.. yaayy..!! \(^o^)/ 

I took these little brownies with white chocolate on top to the uni and planned to give them to every single person that I met today (someone that I know of course), and surprisingly they just gone in a flash!

These Mini Snowy Brownies are just perfect for your little party. Want to try some? You can contact Molla for the info. Pssstt~  It's my new cake and cookies brand, hihiii. Check the blog here! They also have various of chewy cookies there..

Trying out Muay Thai at Sabay Muay Thai and sweating a lot, haaaaahhh..!! Kinda like it though, hehee.. I think we are going to do this once a week.

After the exercise, we are having lunch with the girls at the SugaRush. Didn't have a chance to take many pictures because we were starving! hahaa.. I tried their cupcake and macarons, but our favorite one are their classic churros, yumm~  :-9

And finally got this Elle Indonesia April edition. I've been searching it for a few days, and finally got it at BBC bookstore, and this was the last one that they had! Well, I think I'm gonna need more time to read all of the 1000+ pages..

Have a nice day!

I just checking our external hard disk and found these pictures that I took last year at Toko Coklat. Turned out that I forgot to post about this place, hahaa.. I remember that my notebook was damaged and I moved some new photos those days, but later on I forgot to put it back in.

So, take a peek.. It's Toko Coklat, which literally means "Chocolate Shop". Nice place, great foods and beverages, we just love being here. :)

aaaa~ I love their Spaghetti Aglio Olio.. It's a simple dish, but they made it very rich in flavor, yumm..!! :-9

Their display and interior are nice and simple.

Look at those chocolates..!!

The waitresses said that beside having so many flavors of ready-to-sale chocolates, they also make custom made chocolates and cakes.

It was a rainy day, all day back then, so we spent hours and keep on ordering this and that, hahaaa..

For those fans of Illy coffee, not many cafe or restaurant use it nowadays, but this is one of them. Toko Coklat use Illy for the coffee.. :D

West Java - Indonesia.

Here in Indonesia, bicycle (in general) is a very cheap vehicle that majority people could have. That's why, if you ever live or just travel to any city or even village in Indonesia, you will most likely find someone using it on the street. Some of them ride it because they care about the environment, other people ride it because it's trending, and a lot of people ride it for their life. They work with it. And for them, their bicycle is everything..

That first man is a tailor, we call them "Tukang Jahit Keliling". He ride around one or two housing to get some customers, bringing a table with a sewing machine inside. 

Remember a man that ride with a huge bunch of grass behind his bike on my post here? Now this is the illustration of it. These kind of man usually bring grass or straw to feed their cows or lambs. 

And this is "Tukang Siomay", a man that sells various of dumplings. Carrying a little stove in the right box to keep the dumplings hot, plates and forks in the other box and also a bucket of water to wash used plates, and some sauces on the back. Can you imagine how heavy it is..??

Well, that is only 3 of so many people in Indonesia that use bicycle to hang on their life. What a hard worker..

All of the illustrations belongs to Sartje of Lange Vakantie on this post.

Who knows that a knife holder design could be so much fun?!! Well this guys are definitely know how to do that. Look what I just found..

1. Throwzini's Knife Block

I couldn't find the original article, but according to this article, it's made of a hand crafted wood, comes with 5 stainless steel razor professional chef knives that held securely by magnets in individual protective sheathes. 

2. Human Head Knife Block

Shaped just like a human's head..

3. Heart Knife Holder

This red plastic knives holder and set is just too cool to be ignored if you put it in your kitchen.

4. Voodoo and The Ex Knife Set

My favorite! Hahaaa.. 

I like the concept theory of The Ex Knife Set. This product is definitely cheaper than therapy. 

Sunday afternoon with Sats and Aundry..

We are chit-chatting and having a very nice lunch at Humming Bird..

I didn't get many pictures there but I can tell you that I love almost everything in this place, the people, the foods, the beverages, and the interior. I like how they put those half-birdcage frames on one side of the partition.

 

Hey hoo~

I just got this super cool fluorescent pink bird skull ring from Akhyar, one of my fellow jewelry designer that stays in Bandung. He designs and produces resin jewelry under the brand "Khayuu". This ring is one of his newest collection for this year.

Cuckoo~ !!

If you have any one color, boring, and too simple rug in your home, you might considering to make this simple DIY polka dot rug. It could definitely brighten up your room..!! ;)

I saw this tutorial on Elsie's blog and thought I wanna share it here. You can go here for the detail..

And then, I did a research and found this other post from Katie, another blogger that have made a polka dot rug that was inspired by Rachel's tutorial on Elsie's blog. But, this one is kinda different, in a good way, because it's more colorful!
