.:: weekend, weekend, weekend! ::.

thursday. went to PS with rina for “lunch”, just for the sake of  books.  remember that periplus offered 15% discount on all novels, supposedly until the end of the month? well, they had changed their mind for sure. they now offered 10% discount instead of 15%, which almost felt like geli geli doank. but i was there, and there was no mistaking i had to buy at least one book. i mean, i went there for that, right? right? anyway, i was about to get the boleyn inheritance ( philippa gregory ) but i finally got thanks for the memories ( cecelia ahern ) instead, considering i’ve still had another philippa gregory’s book – left unread.

supposed to go out dinner with lei, retz, and li at puro, what with the buy one get one promo which was valid only ’til this saturday. however, something came out, lei’s driver got some scratches on her car, and so we had to cancel

but i didn’t grieve all that much, coz only then i could watch american idol. haha..

friday. went out to dinner and a little shopping spree with my dearest friend, miss o. it’s been AGES! and it was really good that we finally got to see each other. we talked about almost everything, from A – Z, but a couple of hours on friday night is nowhere near enough!

after meeting her up at mothercare, our first stop was sushi groove. i ordered none other than chicken katsu curry rice, while miss o settled on something more.. fulfilling. hehe..  the chicken katsu curry rice was really nice, and it came in a (lil’ bit too) generous portion. i also liked the fact that the sauce was a bit spicy. i think it was better than the one at sushi tei.

oleen’s bento

stupidly, we took pictures of the food, but not ourselves! i believe we were sidetracked by that free voucher! it was a 50k voucher they gave us for spending more than 100k. and by that, we forgot all means to camwhore. silly!

after dinner, we walked around the mall for a little shopping spree. i didn’t buy much, as it was always more than fulfilling to watch miss o shop. hehe.. peace yo! i did manage to grab a bottle of vov nail polish, a transparent polish loaded with chunky  multi-shape glitters, in turquoise  and silver. oh geez, this addiction has got to stop at some point!

went straight home to find a package for me. yaay.. my order (Oshaberi Na Amadeus) from Kinanti Komik arrived in a very good condition, safely wrapped in a TIKI plastic bag. i’ve read some good reviews regarding this series, so i just had to have it. i don’t know, i’m never a huge fan of comic books, but lately, i’m just craving for old comics, especially the ones written by waki yamato. so yes, i’m on the hunt!

saturday. not so much a weekend, since i had to go to work. i arrived at around 8.15 and i was the first. geez, i wondered where the others were, did they ditch work? hahaha.. it wasn’t until 9, just when i thought nobody would ever come, that the others started arriving. so i had an hour free to myself, browsing and writing this. haha.. *oops* not entirely my fault, as i was working on such a nonsense.

managed to go out of the office before the clock turned four, and went straight home. curling up with my new comic books, then went to artha to check out ace and index supersale, which was a blah! i don’t have the house  to decorate yet, to begin with! haha..

sunday. had brunch with at kantin dewi sri, bogor. mom said we used to go there everytime we visit bogor when i was very little. so there we were, reminiscing the old times it was just a small canteen offering indonesian home made cooking. the food was displayed on a long counter and we just need to point our fingers to what we wanted. too bad there wasn’t much variation, but i noticed that they kept bringing different stuff from the kitchen and placed it on the counter. probably we arrived too early that they hadn’t finished all the cooking. i had pepes ayam and tempe bacem, and es cincau selasih. all tasted delicious, though the commute from jakarta was not exactly a worthy price to pay. the place was a bit dark but it was clean and homey. on one side was the long counter used to display the food and the cashier. on the other side were booths with wooden benches. there weren’t much people when we entered the place, but soon enough it was packed with people wanting to have brunch themselves.

after that, we browse the shops at tajur, which i thought way overpriced for that kind of quality. and we drove back to jakarta via ciawi. never crossed this road before as i usually took another motorway. so it was quite a different scenery i got to enjoy

later in the afternoon, d came to my house, bringing the long-awaited package i had a fellow FD-er  sent to the office. it was a bottle of china glaze nail polish in turned up turquoise. turned out it was brighter than what i had in mind, but still love it! i put it on my feet nails while d took a shower, and i instantly fell in love with it. he also brought me oleh-oleh from the compu-fest, a new card reader! i’d broken the old one, and i’ve been desperate for a new one. yaay! haven’t tried it yet, hopefully it works okay.

we went to gading, and did nothing but strolled around the mall. was in no mood to shop anyway. i was craving for rujak, so we went to the food court and i bought a portion from gado-gado boplo. yummy…

visit gramedia but too bad they didn’t have complete set of full house kiss, so i went to the rental/shop near my house to order it. hope they would be able to find it!

if i previously said, two days on a weekend is not enough, imagine what i think now with one!

.:: shop & dine @ bogor::.

it’s long weekend all over again. yippie… jadilah jumat kemaren gue & my fam – minus nita *hix*, auntie julez, dan tante lin memutuskan buat ke bogor. tujuannya : mau nyari resto soto banjar.. hahaha… dah lumayan lama juga ga jalan-jalan ke bogor.. untung juga cuaca cukup mendukung.. sunny tapi ga terlalu panas. kita berangkat dari rumah kira-kira jam 10an.. sampe bogor, langsung nyari resto soto banjar di jl padjajaran… nyam.. tempatnya sederhana aja, tapi gue suka soto nya. kuahnya berasa banget… maklum deh, jarang ketemu soto banjar yang enak ^^ nyomot teh tariknya auntie juga enak.. abis itu kita meluncur ke deretan fo, setelah sebelumnya mampir beli cinnamon cake di mp.. misi gue : nyari kemeja-kemeja lucu… yah kecewa deh..ga ada barang bagus sama sekali.. dapet satu kaos doank.. jadi sedikit bete… untung ga lama setelah itu, gue jadi sangat terhibur dengan belanja-belanja yang lainnya. huehehe… kayanya dah makin susah aja ngontrol hasrat belanja… hihi.. malemnya mampir makan nasi timbel di ski. hmm ini salah satu tempat favorit gue di bogor.. sayang kita dateng pas dah gelap. jadi ga bisa nikmatin pemandangan taman, kolam dan air mancurnya. apalagi ujan.. but overall sih gue tetep seneng disitu.. tempatnya cozy, makanannya juga enak, sesuai sama harganya.. sebenernya ada satu lagi misi yang ga tercapai. pengen mampir ke desa bumbu.. sejak beberapa waktu lalu nemuin review resto ini di inet, gue jadi pengen ngerasain. tapi ya karena misi utamanya makan soto banjar, ya ga jadi deh… what a great day. i had a lot of fun…. pengen cepet-cepet balik lagi ngelaksanain misi-misi yang blum tercapai.. hehe.. hayuuuu…
