But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

2009.. Kylie new hair style

Based on Mom's observations... Kylie's hair is already no style.. it is cute to see her with the little curly, but she seemed like annoyed by her hair..

So, one Sunday.. last sunday.. Mom brought her to a salon (langganan di cinere).
While Mom do Strawberry's Hair Spa.. she got her hair's cut by the stylist..






























And.. tarraaaam.. a new Kylie... :)

Chocolate Molten & White Brownies

Ceritanya Mom dikasih 2 bars of Dark Cooking Chocolate made in France, by mom's friend @ office.. who frequently visit to Africa.. (hehehe, iya, made in perancis tp beli di afrika.. bingung kan ?)

Anyway, sayang kalo gak dimanfaatkan, ya udah browsing2 resep, dapet dari Detikfood th 2006 punya resep yaitu Chocolate Molten.. jadi kue ini ceritanya spt legit gitu deh.. trus dalemnya meleleh.. konon resep disini dari hotel JW Marriott Jakarta..

Rasa coklat-nya sendiri dark banget (pahiit).. setelah jadi, langsung cicipin 1 cup.. iya benerr.. pahit.. jadi musti diakalin spy enak, ya udah tambahin castor sugar tabur deh.. trus masuk kulkas lagi, buat besok bagi2 sm temen kantor dan tentunya si pemberi DCC ini.. (thanks Harry.. sering2 yah travel overseas & don't forget me.. hehe)..

Ini gambar setelah diberi castor sugar buatan sendiri (alias gula diblender aluusss, trus disaring deh diatasnya..)..
Kalo yg gambar belum ada gulanya tinggal dikit tuh ada dideket foto cover coklat diatas..



Trus, masih ada sisa 5 putih telur nih, diapain yaah.. cari2 kumpulan resep lama yg ada di folder tebal (kata Kylie, buku kue mamaku).. eh, ada resep brownies putih telur yg pake jumlah putih telur yg sama.. bedanya adalah, sy tidak pake Dark Chocolate tapi pake White Chocolate compound.. ini penampakannya.. rasanya.. mmmhh.. kemanisan.. soalnya ternyata sifat coklat putih lebih manis daripada coklat hitam .. (ko coklat ada putih ada hitam.. coklat ya coklat aja.)

Nah, utk resep Chocolate Molten ini link-nya:
CHOCOLATE MOLTEN DARI DETIKFOOD.COM

(kalo ga bisa kebuka, coba ke Detikfood.com trus search Chocolate Molten)..
Trus untuk yang brownies putih telurnya, dari buku "Kudapan Ringan Istimewa", Sedap Sekejap yang diposted oleh rekan member NCC Dyah Wulandari@fs...........com (permisi yaaah)..

Demikian sekilas info hari ini......

Celebrate Christmas in the Orphanage

Saturday 20 December 2008, Mom brought along all my troops (william-kylie-kian-aunty felia-mbak tri-without pap-) to celebrate Christmas with orphan kids in "Panti Asuhan Pondok Damai" at Kampung Sawah, Pd Gede.. It was an event of DharmaDexa and Mom was assigned to lead the program as an MC, together with my colleagues..


It was so emotional touching seeing the kids (all girls), singing and praising, with a very cheerful and full of energy and smell of happiness surrounding the room...
There are about 70 of them, from 5-17 years old girls.. ain't mommies & daddies to take care of them..


But, my girl Kylie, the just-turn-3-baby-girl... she was so excited amongst them.. look how she interacted and mixed with her new friends...















Hei mom...! don't forget me.., please.. said the little green bundle... my baby Kian. He was a very good boy at that time.. he just looked around and quietly watched from his baby eyes.. the crowd with no complaint.. I love you baby... and my friends were so in love with him with his chubby cheek and cute face.. (mom, please deh.. haha--)..


Meanwhile, his brother William.. busy himself collecting the balloons and doing other unnecessary things.. even camera can't catch him.. :) -hmm.. abang githu looh, apalagi gak bawa PSP... hehe-

The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow.
Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.
