Early Dinner + Late Lunch @Vien's Resto Semarang

Food time! Been a long time for me when the last time I posted my food hunter diary to the blog. It was a fun labels for me. Every time I took a dinner, lunch or even breakfast out, at home or maybe a takeout meals or even you know, delivery food. 

Last September 29th 2014, my sister and I are made our spare night to be together, leaving our hush hush hours for an hour or more. We noticed, or she notices there's a new place in town, quiet and some kind of peaceful version, a smaller version. She came across to this place, and it was a good surprise. So, I'm heading to Vien's Resto Sausage & Steak to make myself get a little four hours early before she make it.

The first impression I ever blown to my mind was, this place have a deserted feeling, and an exclusivity chic. You have to come over to some alley, and you turn to left and you have to push your brakes a little more to hold yourself, and then you arrives. I personally drives a motorcycle, so I have to be very very very down low to get a parking space. It's nearly 4 - 5 feet down below. I'm not a measure pro, never have been. To get into your seat, you need to passes two tiers of stairs. I choose out door tables, they say it's a perfect and the best seat to have yourself a little stargazing and city lights moment.

"I think it is really deserted, lonely, beautiful, and gazer-kind-of-place", I said to myself.

I order a drink for sure, to be first. My disappointment was the waitress took five to seven minutes to take my order. I mean it's a great place, but it will be disaster if I can't get my order soon. Despite the waitress, this place offers me hour and hours gazing. Bright sun landscape, hill, and you know, city people. You can see I order ombré beverages. I'm so lost what is this call, but it has a sour, sweet and weird taste. I guessed the bottom layer was Melon syrup, next I will guessed this as a Pandan, Strawberry syrup, with a bit of Sunkist syrup, or Orange syrup. The upper layer is a soda, Pepsi Blue. With lengkong fusion, which I don't really like it. Maybe it was my mistake.

Can you see it? I love to see the skies changing. 4.48 PM - 6.11 PM, 6.30 PM, 7.15 PM. They're all pretty.
Oh, yes, she came when the sunset goes down. We talk overnight. 
In case you're curious, I'm sure now this place is everyone's favorite. I never made it to come again, but I'm sure I will. You can find it at Jalan Singotoro 14 Semarang. Happy gazing!

Uptown People

This Autumn there's a bunch of warmer clothes and I started to drink coffee more often. The weather is getting colder, rain is falling at nite, in the morning the sun is shinning a little bit. I don't know about you guys but I was like having weird obsession this Autumn: rubber boot. Even we don't have winter or freezing weather but I think it might be cool for school.
I've been busy for my school projects lately, luckily I have super understanding friends! Meet my girl Uli and my man Kokom. I guess you guys have met her uh? I've found my tiny free day in the middle of my busy week to have a nice coffee evening with them. She's been busy too for work.

We took a break to having nice iced latte & green tea latte. I don't know why every time I ordered iced latte I grab alot of sugar. I added 5 packs of sugar. In my last bite there was a shock sugar and it was so damnly sweet! Poor me.

This book I bring for Uli so she would read it and new perspective will comes over her. Since she and her ex boyfriend broke up about three months ago, she still can't (won't) moved on. I think this book (mine is translated version) would help her to get through her bad time.

We had Cheese Cake and Cinnamon Cake! I can tell you these cakes made me fail to diet. They're so yum and delicious and tastes like wonderland. I must tell you I'm no cheese cake fan ever before and this cheese cake made me break my words. My green tea latte tastes good and so green tea.

Now it is time to have a little fun. Holiday fever just attacking us these few months! Sunnies is one of travel equipment. Look at her! Uli was trying mirrored sunnies. Was it too... hilarious? And I definitely love my time every time enter to travel store, you know what I mean? Those luggage tag was too nice to travelling, uh! Time to go neon! It's never too late to go neon! Loving these Bellaggio midi heels 

Dress: c/o Cottonclub, Tights: c/o Prive, Boots: c/o Marido, Bag: unbranded, Bracelets: gift, Bow hair piece: c/o Stroberi

Uli shopped at Gaudi she's always a shopping girl. Thank you guys! You're a gem!

Eid Mubarak - Day Six

I just love Ersa. She’s more like my twin. You need to us what we looks like when we were on high school. We met at her school when my friends invited me to. When we met OMG I just can’t believe see the similar me in front of me. We became best girlfriend ever since, and I love her just like I love my sister. We showed our photos to our Moms and Moms are going crazy, hehehe.

We made a date at Irish Cafe right the way downtown, only about 10 to 20 minutes away from home. It was a coffee date. We talked, and shared a stories and finally I decided to gifting my Aim Store’s bracelet to her. She’s a jewelry junkie. I can say every time we met and we sat on the same sofa was very meaningful. We only could get a date when she was free on her job. We always been proud showing up our girl feminime side to people. And people were often to asked us if we’re a sister or twin sister. I answered, ‘yes’ and so did she. And give me a hundred glass of any Chocolate drinks and I promise I will make it empty.

One thing about her, she stayed with her natural black hair. And I can't do that. I wanna be experimenting to hair. Nuuuuh, that's me.

Even I grabbed my camera with me, I think it was really not the right time to take a pictures. After all, every time we met we don’t really a camera junkie, even we were. I prefer to having a nice night talks with her than taking alot of pictures. She sang in the cafe for me as the birthday present.

The date is officially ended by 10.30 PM and I thank to Allah gives me a crowded traffic on the way home. Why? Because it will be a thousand more safer than have to driving all alone passing a silent road. And I got home safely.

I love her sooo much. And that night we opened each other minds about relationship, friendship, and religion. She's about to take Islam. I'm a very neutral person. I'm not that sensitive about religion, and friends do not (really) care when having friends on different religion. All I can say is, whatever religion you took, girl, doesn't really matter. And welcome to Islam, girlfriend!

Eid Mubarak - Day Five

Day five, people. Make it count! After missing my boyfriend who have been mudik in lebaran for (only) two days. Uh, I'm not an individualism person, after all. I love socializing, meeting people and surrounded by people I love.

Boyfriend came home with a skinny jeans, denim jacket, and his new hat or maybe I can call this a snapback or I don't know how to type this. SO I went to Wikipedia and search for these kinda hat: snapback. Um just ignore me! I moved my hand to grab that snapback on his head. Wiiii! It was perfect size and fit nicely to me!

He just purchased the same details. He purchased Jeep backpack on Army / Military design, too. He's kinda a junkie. I love spare my things with him soo I felt free to that. Technically, we fell in love on most of similar stuff.We had a diner after about an hour seeking for open restaurant and p.s.: I love eating out. But not this time. I don't like the food. And he's got these snapback at Buck for only around 130K!

After all I only had a date with boyfriend for an hour, but it was quite nice. He gotta back to work that night, as well. He's taken a driver offers. Um, his father owned a car rental so he took a control by being a driver for those who rent a car, optionally. So proud. He's driving away to Yogyakarta, Solo, Pekalongan, Klaten & Magelang this week. Gonna miss him so muuccccch! Have a safe drive, baby. <3

This lebaran is the perfect time to meet people, and old and new people. I love meeting people. Um, day four of lebaran. Which I'm sooo excited about it. I made a dealt with my self that lebaran is seven days to the max. So I'm still have three days ahead to enjoying a lebaran holiday.I can say: Welcome Home, Nanny.

My old nanny is visited our home on August 11st, I picked her up on a bus station in the morning, and she went home right away at night. It was a lovely day, I feel like I was a child again and I need my nanny around me.

She left us because my mom thinking that I was big enough to raising by my mom. I visited her about once or twice a year because there is no almost a free time to visit her, although her village is quite close. 

I gifted her a pieces of some an old baju muslim & hijab to her. She's married, now! What a great news! But she haven't introduced her husband to me. I love you, Mak. Come here very very very soon! I'm gonna miss youuuuu!! Love love love.
