As easy as bending the spoons..

Turning your glass of wine upside down..

Or, just stick up some twigs (or leaves) to a small glass..

So, I hope this post could help you find what you look for. Feel free to leave a comment! I'd like to know how's your candle holder would be like.. :)

Ooops..! I know, it's like way too late.. But still it is Fall in Europe, isn't it..? ;)

Have a nice November everyone! It's rainy here in Bandung so don't forget your coat or sweater or jacket and bring a nice bright umbrella to shine up the day.. You know, it's nice seeing people using a yellow umbrella under the rain. (^^)

Well I was planned to make a series of Halloween special edition of cupcakes but it just could not happen due to some reasons. One of the reasons is we didn't have a Halloween party here, huhuuu.. :(

Anyway, here is my sketch for the Halloween Cupcakes..

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!  \(^o^)/

I could not believe that I just burned my hand with half pan of just-boiled water. I was going to make spaghetti aglio e olio, when the pasta cooking water spilled onto my left hand. It is kinda funny that I have been cooking for years but this is the first time I ever get burned-out by boiling water, and I just know how much it hurts, hahaa.. Hopefully it will not happen again. (^ ^)

Anyway, if you are just get doused by a very hot water, or having a minor burn, this first aid treatment might help you out. You can do it first in your home before go to the doctor (or if you don't wanna go)..

1. Immediately hold it under cold, running cold water for 10 to 25 minutes, or immerse the burn in cold water or cover it with cold compresses. Don't put ice directly against the burn!

2. Once the burn has cooled via cold water or compress, apply lotion to the burned area. Lotion may soothe any discomfort that you feel, and will also prevent dryness.

3. After moisturized the burn, cover it with sterile gauze bandage. Wrap the bound loosely, don't put too much pressure to the wound.

Oh, and my friend told me that if you have aloe vera plant, you can cut it and rub the gel inside it directly to your skin. I just know how aloe vera is really good for your skin. It could help the majority of skin complaints. By the way I just read that it is actually good for your health too. It said that aloe vera is useful for both external and internal use. Interested?

Just found one of the coolest restaurant in town, yaaayy!! :D

It was past 9 p.m and we were just going to have a family gathering altogether with Sats family and mine. Yes, it was a big family gathering! And it was Thursday! There is only a few restaurant here in Bandung that still open on that time. Then Sats suggest for Origin.

And there we were. Having a great night in a cool place and nice dinner at Origin House and Kitchen.

Aaaa..sorry for the bad quality of my pictures. My camera has an issue with the night scene. :(

But that place is wonderful though. Nice interior decor, good selection of furniture, just a cozy place to hang out with family and friends. :)

Oh you must have known that our first try are going to be their coffee..!! :D I had a Cappuccino Brulee, and Sats chosen a Hot Cappuccino. I'm not sure what was it on the latte art, but sure we love it. Not every cafe or restaurant here in Bandung that serve a cappuccino or cafe latte with latte art on the top of it.

I only got a few picture of the foods, since it was a very late dinner and everybody were hungry and the battery of my cam was running out, and still they came out a little blur.. my bad.. hehee..

I do love the cream soup so much, sooo muuuccchhhh that I want it moooreeee..!! :P And this creamy fettuccine is just awesomely delicious.. :9

Really sorry (again) for the bad image quality.. I wish I had another camera..

My mom ordered Grilled Salmon that was also taste good.

aaannddd..the battery was out! ooppsss.. Sorry for a short snaps I hot here, hope I could get back there soon because there are a lot of spots that I haven't shot, and a lot of cake and other dessert that I haven't taste.

Oh, almost forgot to tell ya that in Origin you could find some organic food supplies and also some cool stuff from IKEA. Yes, here in Bandung! :D
