Domesticated Ducks

>> Apr 10, 2011

source: google

It’s a kind of ducks that is very common here. Ducks have been farmed for thousands of years, possibly starting in Southeast Asia. Ducks are farmed for their meat, eggs, and down. Their eggs are blue-green to white depending on the breed. Ducks can be kept free range, in cages or in barns. To be healthy, ducks should be allowed access to water.

Have you ever tried hard boiled and salted duck eggs? They have interesting taste!

CC: When We are Getting Ready

>> Apr 7, 2011

The electricity here was off for about seven hours today. I planned to write this post early this morning. But now it’s already night when I write this post; as my cousins were coming since this afternoon and they have just left home. I’m late again, hehehe.

Every time we have plans of going out, I’m usually taking bath first. If it’s needed; I’ll prepare to bring some snacks and drinks. After that, I’ll choose my outfit to wear. I should admit here, sometimes I’m confused to choose the right one. But of course, it only happens when we want to attend a formal event. Fortunately, my husband is a great helper. He can solve my confusing. When it comes to match things; I can trust my hubby’s eyes.

If I start to put on moisturizer on my face, he’ll take a bath. Since I like simple makeup; I just use mascara, powder and lipstick. I don’t need to style my hair as I’ve covered it now; but I still need times to make my head is covered in stylish.

My husband never needs much time to prepare. If I think he needs to change the outfit; I’ll say it and he always listens my opinion. By the way, until now, I’m always late while he’s already waiting outside. I also have an annoying habit; I need to pee (sorry!) several times before leaving home for any occasion. It makes me late more!

Water Spray

I think these photos are wet enough for this watery post. During car washing, water spray is really needed to remove all dirt and clean the car. Soon your car will look clean again and you’re ready to go!

Spending Sunday in Bandung

>> Apr 4, 2011

Sunday morning, we left home to visit an aunt’s house in Bandung (West Java, Indonesia). There’s a family meeting there that we should attend. Three weeks ahead, my aunt will hold her daughter’s wedding ceremony. Some relatives were gathering to discuss the last preparation and allocate tasks between family members.

It took three hours to reach the house. The meeting started after lunch and ended in four hours. We had no time to visit another place. It’s a pity anyway, since there are lots of interesting place in Bandung that I want to visit. Bandung is famous for its shopping places; one of them is Cihampelas Street.

We just passed by this street, as we don’t want to reach home very late. Cihampelas Street is a crowded place; it’s full of shops that sell clothes. The narrow road makes traffic jam is a common thing along this road, that’s why I can take photos there. You can see that the shops in Cihampelas Street attract buyers in creative ways. Famous characters like Aladdin, Yasmin, Superman and Spiderman are welcoming you there!

One night at Our Porch

>> Apr 2, 2011

One wet night, laron (flying white ants) were coming out from their nest and flying to look for the light. They are sensitive to light. They need light to find their mate. A house lizard was so interested. Lots of food! Patiently, the house lizard waited on the wall to catch a nearing laron. Hap, it successfully caught one. Not bad at all for late dinner :)

A little more about house lizard/gecko :

Researchers have found that the toes of a house lizard/gecko are densely packed with half a million fine hairs. At the end of each hair splits up to 1000 filaments, each just 200 billionths of a meter wide. Which means the gecko foot has about 500 million tiny branches making contact with a surface. It can adhere to literally any surface, even polished glass and mirrors!

Atomic bonding is the reason behind the gecko’s sticky feet. There is an attraction between molecules at the ends of the gecko’s toe hairs and on the contact surface.

The process of shedding all or part of their tails is called autotomy – an action intended to scare off predators (source:google).

How We Celebrate Being Together

>> Mar 31, 2011

This post is still the continuing of my previous story. After my father gave his blessing, Rofi can come again to visit me at home. My father still didn’t talk much to Rofi but he has already shown a friendly face.

I remember that we celebrated this happy moment by eating out at a lovely restaurant. While holding hands, we’re talking about our future. We’re so happy! That night, we started to make a wedding plan. We discussed many things that related with our wedding day; though I haven’t yet met Rofi’s father. Yep, after months of uncertainty situation, talking about our future togetherness in a marriage bond was becoming our most interest!

Until now, eating out, watching movies or just hanging out to have a hot drink at a café are always becoming our favorite thing to do when we celebrate any moment or when we have spare times (especially in the weekend).
