Dance #4

I was so lucky to meet Lyndal and Gabby!!


It started with a message from Gita, my college friend. She asked me whether i was free on Saturday. I said yes and asked why. She told me that we're offered to teach some 'bule' how to dance a traditional dance. *bule is a word we use to call foreigner.* Me? Teaching? i've never done that before! But i agreed -__-  I was thinking that it could be a cool experience haha. 



the day was coming... Gita and i didn't know where to start. we decided to show them the dance, it's Nawung Sekar. 
I was too shy to say a word. hahaha. i'm not used to speak to native English speaker. but then i could handle it. if we dare to speak everything will be all right, plus they spoke clearly so it was easy to understand what they said. there was a trouble in the middle of 'class' they were confused when i said left and right. it's not that i don't know the meaning of 'left' and 'right', but i just can't tell left from right. i have left/right confusion :o sometimes it's hard to differentiate left and right. *i hope this is not such a serious problem* but thanks to Lyndal for giving me a tip to solve my silly problem...

this dance is simple. and the two girls, Lyndal and Gabby learnt so fast that they could finish the whole dance in just few hours. They were pretty good, though there're some parts they couldn't do. it's because lyndal's leg was hurt and so was gabby's knee :( 

here is the video of their performance. haha i like the zombie part. there were some movements that turned to be the zombie movement hahaha.


what a cool experience~

Belajar Bahasa Mandarin

Susahnya cari tempat les bahasa Mandarin yang affordable di Jogja. Beberapa teman-temanku yang tanya dimana aku belajar bahasa Mandarin harus kecewa karena tempat les ku udah gulung tikar. Kalaupun ada biasanya susah buat lanjut ke level-level selanjutnya karena kekurangan quota. Kalau mau yang agak mahalan sih ada, bisa privat tanpa nunggu kuota. Tapi kan ya... you know lah, cari duit gak gampang wkwk. Aku sendiri beruntung pas SMA bisa merasakan belajar Mandarin, dapat teman orang China, dan merasakan les yang gak mahal sampe akhirnya bisa dapetin HSK walaupun borderline nilainya wkwkw. Belajar Mandarin itu susah-susah gampang. Gampangnya karena struktur kalimatnya gak gitu jauh dengan Bahasa Indonesia dan nggak ada gender kayak beberapa bahasa lain. Susahnya karena huruf di Mandarin itu non-alphabetic, tiap benda/kata ada hurufnya (character) tersendiri dan dengan character berbeda (arti berbeda) pengucapannya bisa aja sama. Belum lagi ada empat macam "nada" dalam pengucap...

Ayam Pek Cam Ke

Ayam pek cam ke itu masakan yang enak dan sangaaat simple cocok buat pemula. Aku suka banget sama masakan rebus ini karena rasanya sederhana tapi mengen :" Keliatan dari namanya, Ayam pek cam ke ini masakan Chinese tau! Nama aslinya 白切鸡 (baca: báiqiējī). Di Indonesia nggak tau deh kenapa disebutnya pek cam ke. Mungkin logat Hokkien kali ya... Soalnya kalo Hokkien bacanya jadi "pe̍h-tshiat-ke" kan deket-deket tuh sama "pek cam ke" *maksa*. Pek cam ke atau báiqiējī terdiri dari tiga karakter yaitu, bái (白) yang artinya putih. Sedangkan qiē (切) berarti potong. Lalu kalo  jī (鸡) artinya ayam. Jadi 白切鸡 artinya ayam potong putih *haha 😂 ngawur* . Pokoknya intinya ini masakan ayam yang penyajiannya emang dipotong-potong trus warnanya putih karena masaknya cuma direbus. Nggak usah kebanyakan fafifu nih aku share cara bikinnya. Bahan : Ayam Jahe daun bawang Bawang  Garam minyak wijen Merica Pelengkap:  Bawang putih, cincang goreng Kecap asin Minyak Wijen Daun ketumbar ...
