The Chocolate Oracle

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are intense, powerful, and dramatic.
People respect the things you do…
And they’re not sure if they could do them!

You are down to earth and lovable.
A true friend, you’re very tolerant and understanding.
In fact, your friends’ biggest problem is that they don’t like each other!

You love to be in love. You crave romance, whether you’re single or not.
You feel lost when you don’t feel passion… you need someone to adore.

The Chocolate Oracle

Ha ha.. so fun!

Nasi Bancakan

Ow, yea baby! I was in Bandung last March and happened to visit Nasi Bancakan, a rustic restaurant in Bandung. The photo above is Kue Balok, or translated as Brick Cake, and a cup of thick hot tea. All food were served in rustic tin plates and cups. How lovely.

The brick cake was good. The taste and texture were rather similar with those of Brudel’s, but brick cake was baked in a copper pan on charcoals. Yes, charcoals. How lovely!!

Visit there. You will never ever, ever, regret it. I mean, EVER.

Some reviews (Bahasa Indonesia):

Take me! We’re gonna have fun, for sure..

I Am a Hazelnut

You Are a Hazelnut

You are very unique and distinct. You may even freak some people out.
Most people don’t really know how to interact with you.
You get along best with anyone who is super sweet.
But you really do get along with almost anyone. You just need a chance to wow them.

What Nut Are You?

So I’m a hazelnut!
Funny that it happens to be my most favorite nut of all times. So, yay!

What nut are you? Well, I know you’re just as nut as I am. But what kind?

Fettish!!

Update April 22, 2008: I went back to the supermarket and finally bought it. Gosh..

Today, I found my fettish.

About a week ago I was at a supermarket, when I realized I had this thundering urge to buy a set of measuring cups. It’s a cheap kind. Plastic, white, not that fancy steel or creamic in bright colors Nigella style or premium glass cup. But I felt my blood rushing wanting to grab and throw it into my trolley. A couple of seconds later, my head yanked at me, “Aren’t there already 2, sorry, 3 sets of measuring cups in your cupboard?”

She’s right.
