salad fingers

This viral video has been around for quite some time. Have you watched it? I just finished the first episode. Why does that young child sound elephant trumpeting? Erowrrh!

edge of tomorrow

I never thought I'd be laughing watching a man got rolled over by a truck. And it wasn't in some cartoons. And he didn't have some super power that made him immune to the impact. He indeed died. And not a nice death his body was having.

Splat!

>.< It was a good movie, one that made me felt for Tom Cruise. Before this I disliked him, maybe because of his roles in Top Gun and Magnolia. Especially Magnolia. How I hate his character there!

most undelicious rawons in the world

One is at Brangkal Mojokerto, called Maduratna. The other is at Bypass Mojoagung, called Anda.

I was deeply disappointed when I ate rawon at Anda, because their rawon used to be delicious. :(

i was just wondering how often should we...

1. Wash windows curtains in a year?

2. Defecate in a week?

3. Trim our hair in one year?

4. Have your handbag cleaned in a month?

teeth brushing

My colleagues know this habit of mine, that is before doing some really important job, I have to brush my teeth.

The thing is, I can concentrate more if my mouth feels clean. This habit started a few years ago, when I started saving for having my braces. You know the book 'The Secret', it was true, I started acting like I already had the braces e.g brushing my teeth after meals, and in a few months I actually had them, quicker than I thought I could do. And that habit stands strong even though the braces were off.

I think Meutya Hafid can relate to me. In her book '168 Hours Taken as A Hostage: Memoirs of a Journalist in Iraq', this reporter wrote that she needed to wash her face and brush her teeth before conveying a message in front of the camera.

I know someone who was in struggle for having nice breath all the time. He kept Listerine by his side. The problem is, long-time-usage of Listerine makes people have sore throats. Well, at least it does on me. And him. He coughed a lot. I told him to dump Listerine but he wouldn't listen to me. Like telling a middle-aged man to dump his hobby of inviting prostitutes over, really.

-_-

The recipe of fresh breath is easy, even though you don't have the luxury of time (and circumstances) to brush your teeth. Just use toothpaste like you use Listerine.

This, I haven't told him yet.

lodeh bug for the first time

I ate a bug. No la. I ate lodeh bug by Bug Matira near Malang Train Station. It was a famous place among food tester community people. When my lover and I searched for this place, we almost gave up. The street number is not ascending nor descending, but random!

Well, not all are random. Some houses were lined numerically. But the bug lady's place (lame pun not intended) was not. Just when we were about to leave, I saw name sign of that place.

So, what are the composition of this famous meal? Rice, of course. And lodeh, unripe jackfruits cooked Madura style. Also serundeng. What made the meal unique was serundeng crackers. So they grated coconuts and dried them under the sun, and I dunno what other process done upon them until they became serundeng, and then processed some more to make them crisp.

But someone told me when another people went there, they served wintermelon lodeh instead of jackruit one. Some other time they served lodeh made of unripe papayas.
