Shark Attack !

Gue kayaknya sih udah pernah nulis somewhere in this blog bahwa gue sangat amat takut sekali dengan water predator
so,it means shark in the sea,and crocodile in fresh water
ini kebalikan banget dengan gue yang suka banget pergi ke pantai daripada ke gunung
gue nggak pernah berani ada di air yang kedalamannya melebihi batas bahu gue (i am short,so it means i will never go far from the beach)

tapi ketakutan gue beralasan loh!
In 2007, ISAF(International Shark Attack File) investigations tallied 71 unprovoked shark attacks on humans.
itu kan berarti dalam sebulan bisa ada 6 kali serangan
yang juga berarti dalam seminggu bisa ada lebih dari satu serangan
GIMANA COBA?

dan salah satu korbannya adalah tak lain tak bukan si host ganteng American Idol,Ryan Seacrest
ini berita lengkapnya
tambah nervous deh gue
serius nih,padahal gue cinta banget sama pantai
tapi kayaknya mulai sekarang gua nggak akan pernah lagi berenang di pantai
paranoid gue makin parah semakin bertambahnya usia

ini tips-tips untuk menghindari serangan hiu untuk anda-anda yang suka berenang di pantai,diambil dari website National Geographic :

HOW TO AVOID AN ATTACK

• Stay away from the mouths of rivers after heavy rains, when freshwater fishes and other animals are swept out to sea.

• Swim clear of fishing boats. They often trail fish remains and blood, which can draw sharks.

• If you're bleeding, including menstruating, stay on the beach. Sharks can smell and taste even the smallest amount of blood from over a mile (1.6 kilometers) away and trace it back to its source.

• If you cut or injure yourself in the water, get out! Do not stay in the water with blood around you.

• Stay out of the water if fish blood or baitfish are present. In other words, steer clear of fishers.

• Avoid large groups of fish, seals, or sea lions. They all are prominent on the shark's menu.

• Stay away if you see large groups of dolphins and seabirds. They are attracted to the same food sharks eat. And don't make the mistake of thinking that if dolphins are present, there won't be any sharks around. Dolphins can be prey for large sharks.

• Stay away from dead animals in the water.

• Stay out of the water at dawn, dusk, and night

• Do not wear high-contrast clothing (orange and yellow are said to be risky colors) or shiny jewelry (which may appear to be like fish scales). Sharks see contrast very well.

• Leave the water quickly and calmly if a shark is sighted. Do not provoke, harass, or entice a shark, even a small one.

• If fish or turtles start to behave erratically, leave the water. They may be behaving like that because there is a shark in the area.

• If you feel something brush up against you, get out of the water

• Swim, surf, or dive with other people. Sharks most often attack individuals.

• Don't wander too far from shore.(SETUJU! SETUJU!)

jadi panjang nih postingannya~

Aren't they the cutest thing ever ?

I don't know why but i found myself drawning at flickr site quite often lately
and i found these
This Bnice2mice girl is an artist and she is currently making some toys from knitting
and i found them totally adorable !! (yess,double exclamation mark)
here are some example of them


oh my god
don't you just wanna eat them?

by the way,i'm having midterm test (again) tomorrow
so what the heck am i actually doing here?
have to study
ciao :)

I DID BAD ON MY EXAM

IT WAS FREAKIN' COLD ON THAT CLASSROOM BUT SOMEHOW I WAS SWEATING
BECAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T MAKE IT
:(

by the way i want to share something weird about me :
- i am afraid to close my eyes when showering,i always think that something scary will suddenly show up when i open my eyes
- i get very nervous when i swim but i can't see the bottom,mind that attitude,but actually water predators really scare the shit outta me
- the point above also happened if i only just swim at very shallow beach or swimming pool,saying something like "i thought there's something in the water" is enough to make me run wild out of the water
- it makes me more nervous if couldn't touch the bottom,drowning is a very traumatic event,so when suddenly a big wave come and i lose contact with the sea bottom,i get awfully panic and collapse spontaneusly (a friend of mine hurt because of my panic-kick)
- its weird,but i kinda don't like it when my best friend breaks up with his old gf,eventhough i know that is the best way,but somehow i just love to see them together
- i also hate the fact that john meyer and jennifer anniston breaks up! john and jen were meant to be ..
- i am not going to shock when i know i fail machine architecture midterm test :(

Getaway Trip

Hi!
I've just came home from a 4 nights trip at an amazing island
Langkawi
setelah pulang dari sana,gue langsung kangen lagi sama suasana disana
disana itu tempo hidup a bit slower than usual
jadi kita bisa rileks dan ga harus mikirin apa-apa
santaaii
namanya juga liburan,haha
cuma mikirin mau pergi kemana abis ini? makan malem hari ini sotong atau udang yah?
kalau nggak tau harus ngapain,tinggal nyebrang jalan dikit dari rumah dan langsung nyebur ke laut biru pantai Cenang

whoaaa i miss it :(

gue udah menunggu-nunggu liburan yang sesungguhnya sejak setahun yang lalu
yg gue maksud liburan sesungguhnua itu seperti ini
NO MALL ! (which makes coming home to Jakarta doesn't count)
tempat aksotis,dimana gue bisa pake celana pendek,sendal jepit,gelang kaki dan topi lebar,jalan-jalan nyobain makanan baru dan beli souvenir aneh
aahh that's what i call holiday!




looking forward for next trip
have to save money again,DUH!
haha

resep jitu memasak onion ring aloha

gue lagi suka banget masak onion ring
karena selaen enak,gampang juga bikinnya,cuma butuh bawang bombay,tepung sama telor
tapi sodara-sodara,jangan dipikir membuat onion ring yg krenyes itu mudah,karena setelah berkali-kali mengalami kegagalan,akhirnya saya berhasil juga membuat onion ring yang garing IYEY
faktor-faktor kegagalan saya adalah :
1. salah tepung
2. api terlalu besar
3. mencampur tepung dengan air
4. faktor utama : MALES BANGET ngebolak-balik bawang ke dalem tepung,sumpah gtau kenapa males bgd,bikin tangan kotor pula,seringkali ditengah-tengah membolak-balik,tiba-tiba gue ilfeel dan gajadi masak

tapi semua sudah diatasi! JREENG!
ikuti langkah dibawah ini dan anda akan mendapatkan onion ring krenyes tanpa tangan kotor

ALAT DAN BAHAN :
1. bawang bombay,suka-suka mau berapa,semampunya
2. tepung KOBE (harus KOBE,gaboleh yang lain)
3. telur ayam
4. satu tempat makan tupperware (atau merk apapun) yang paling gede yg ada di dapur
5. satu tempat lain yang gak usah terlalu gede
6. garam dan lada

CARA MEMBUAT :
1. kupas bawang bombay
2. potong melintang,biar jadi kayak cincin,kalo gabisa,yaudah potong apa aja,yg penting jadi kecil
3. kocok telor di mangkok kecil
4. masukkan tepung ke dalam tempat makan yang guede,kira-kira sampe sepertiganya
5. satu persatu,celupin bawang yang udah dipotong ke dalem telor,kalo takut tangan kotor,pake garpu aja nyelupinnya,terus masukin ke dalam tempat makan tepung
6. kalo udah semua bawang,tutup tempat makan,terus DIKOCOK-KOCOK SEKUAT TENAGA. itulah alasan mengapa dinamai onion ring aloha,karena prosesnya harus digoyang-goyang seperti pinggul penari hawaii
7. setelah puas,buka tutup tempat makan,dan lihatlah semua bawang yang sudah terlumur dengan indah dengan tepung tanpa tangan kita kotor HUAHA
8. goreng bawang tepung itu di minyak panas dengan api sedang
9. kalo sudah digoreng semua,masukin semua onion ring ke tempat makan satu lagi yg lebih kecil,masukkan garam dan lada secukupnya,KOCOK LAGI agar semua bumbu tercampur
10. hidangkan selagi hangat dan krius

ke carrefour aja ah

semalem gue hamy sama irfan pergi belanja ke carrefour
lalala
eh lalu gue sama hamy men-spot satu rak sepatu yang bagus dan murah
ada empat tingkat,luas,dan tertulis harganya cuma RM 26.90
dikomporin irfan yang katanya "rak sepatu gue cuma 3 tingkat dari kayu doang harganya RM 40 loh loh" ,akhirnya gue sama hamy membelinya
pas bayar di kasir,gue ngeliat billnya
LOH KOK LOH KOK tertulis di bill bahwa harga rak sepatunya RM 39.90 aja loh
merasa tertipu,akhirnya kita datengin customer servicenya (yaudahlah,kita nggak ada kerjaan juga,mendingan sekalian aja ngerjain orang carrefour ;p )
trus prosesnya agak lama sih,dia ngecek harga ke dalem dulu,walkie-talkiean sama ngga tau siapa,ngecek lagi,walkie-talkiean lagi

akhirnya at last gue disuruh isi REFUND FORM
yess balik deh 13 RM gue,begitu pikir saya
gue pikir bakal dibalikin selisih uangnya doang
ternyata yg dibalikin ke gue RM 39.90 LOH
ENTAH MENGAPA SI RAK SEPATU DIKASIH KE KITA FREE OF CHARGE!
dia ngomong dengan aksen lokai yang kedengeran di kuping kita "karena ini kesilapan kami,manager kami bleyeyeyddggbabbajkakja.."
jadi kita ngga ngerti-ngerti amat sebenernya kenapa barang ini dikasih gratis,cuman tau kalo dia berbuat kesilapan dan manager dia melakukan sesuatu yg hanya Tuhan yg tau

YEEEEEEEEE RAK SEPATU GRATIISSS
buat teman-teman semua
KE CARREFOUR AJAA AHH~
