Munch munch..

Earlier, i have told about my hobby of trying foods right, too bad i only have several pictures here. These are some food i tried last time i was in Jakarta (not from the restaurants i've reviewed before):


Pesto Chicken Wrap
[The Canteen by Aksara - Plaza Indonesia]

Short overview: cozy place, pretty pricey, huge portion (both foods and beverages), wide variety of cocktails, and of course delicious, in other words: worth every penny.



Macha Latte
[MOF Japanese Sweets and Coffee - Plaza Indonesia]



Salmon Sandwich
[MOF Japanese Sweets and Coffee - Plaza Indonesia]



Red Bean Paste with Macha Ice Cream
[MOF Japanese Sweets and Coffee - Plaza Indonesia]

Short overview: very unique, offers various type of Japanese dessert, ice cream and other foods and drinks, felt always wanna come back and try others.



Grilled Chicken Panini
[Panini House - FX Sudirman]

Short overview: great service, nice place, yummy, better go for the main course rather than dessert, good choice for a medium-price restaurant.


That's all for now, wait for the next report when i'm back in Jakarta. Why Jakarta? of course because there are a lot of foods that i haven't tried there. I'd be very glad if any of you can suggest me restaurants, cafes or foods to try.

Till then, i'm gonna save my money for the next culinary trip.

Careless

Oh gosh!

Lately i have been so careless, there were several times i felt i already checked the documents thoroughly but then again it came back with a post-it from the Big Boss noted that there were several things i missed. Not only once or twice, one or two documents, it's already been several times and several documents. I really don't like the fact that i worked carelessly.

Not just that, it makes an bad impression to my colleagues that i didn't check the work comprehensively and just become a happy-go-lucky person. Or maybe i got distracted with other things and made me lost focus when doing my work and it caused my carelessness. I don't like that either.

But i like the way my colleagues remind me to check and re-check every document more carefully, because it would be such a shame if things like this happen on and on. Or the way one of them helps me re-checking the documents when she's done with her job and i still have a pile of things to do.

I need to work better and focus more on things i do.
Not only because i need to, but also because i want to.

The KCCCGD* Social Gathering

Another social gathering? Yes, let me bring this to you all..

the most recent social gathering i join is KCCCGD* (Kelompok Cewek Cowok Cakep Gitu Deh), rough translation of it would be "Party of Gorgeous Boys and Girls". No comment on the name please, since this is a free country where people have so called freedom of expression, thus this name frankly describes those who join it. Thanks to Abdurrahman a.k.a. A'Bedur a.k.a. Kyai James.

So what is it about this new social gathering?
Well, it started some time ago when some of us come with the idea of keeping in touch with our friends, since we're no longer seeing each other as much as we were back then in college. After some talks we decided to have a monthly social gathering mostly in Jakarta and move to other city where the members work every 6 months. For example beside those who live in Jakarta and around, there are members who work in Banjarmasin, Tarakan, Kupang, Makassar, Kendari, and other cities. The gathering will be around Jakarta for 5 months then on the 6th month move to one of the cities mentioned before, so basically it is also a call for a group vacation.

Recently we just had our first social gathering event, with 9 out of 19 members attending (A'Bedur, Ninit, Rima, Yoga, Niko, Harun, Akmal, Nila and I). Our first gathering took place in Kota Tua, at a place well known for the ice cream, Es Krim Ragusa. Here we share some stories and have our first winners: Titis and Arrisa. Frankly speaking the foods there weren't really satisfactory but the ice cream are still good.

Continuing the story of our gathering, we decided to give a pleasure to our desire of performing so we hop on to the next destination: Inulvizta Sarinah, but then again due to the overcrowded we didn't get a room. Unable to stop the growing desire of singing and others, we then gave a call to Inulvizta Atrium Senen to see if they have a room. This time we were lucky and not just that, we could directly jump in and sing! Too bad Harun couldn't join us.. We spent 2 full hours singing, dancing, and making fun of the songs.

Well to wrap it up, that night was great, despite the rain and traffic jam that made most of us late for the gathering, all of us were really enjoying the moments of togetherness.

Can't wait to meet you up again guys!
