KETUPAT ^^

Ketupat is rice cake boiled in a rhombus-shaped packet of plaited young coconut leaves. This is a special food in Idul Fitri. I believe that all families in Indonesia make it. To make this food, we need four hours, hmm... long enough!

My family always eat these ketupat with Opor Ayam (Chicken dish cooked with coconut cream and various spices), Sambal Goreng (meat cooked with chili and sauce), and Sayur Cabai (green chili cooked with coconut cream). Yummy! Oishi! I love Lebaran Day ^^

Happy Ied Al Fitr Guys :)

Ups, so, what is your menu in your Victory/ Ied Al Fitr/ Lebaran day??



Torch in Takbiran Nite

I live in one village in small city which rich of some traditions. One of them is Torch Parede. We did it in the last day of Ramadhan (a day before Idul Fitri). Of course, we did this parade at night. We brought torch while we did recitation of laudation/ engage in such recitation (Allahu Akbar - God is Great). We went to one villege to another, yeah around villeges.

And I shot this pict for you ^^

You know what, every one is happy doing this tradition!



They Gave Me Stars

















I'll give my stars for those who love and care of me and for those who I love, including my students. Yes, Nabiel and Athar, they were my students. I taught English and Mathematic to them. They are very smart. They can remember some vocabs and count quickly and correctly. I am proud to be their teacher.

I give some exercises to them every meeting, and give them star if they can answer all of my questions correctly. And they are very happy :)

One day, I came out from the class for a minute and left them in the class with some exercises. You know what, they did their exercises quickly and afterwards they draw a lot of stars in whiteboard and when I came into the class, they said "Miss Dee, these stars are for you". So touching ^^

Through these stars, I know how much they love me.

Togetherness


Togethernees is something valuable and precious. Something you need. Something you can not forget! Agree? ^^

Craftsman/woman (gender!)


Look! In this picture, there is an old woman who try to make something. She is a craftsman. She is expert in making a pot or vase from clay. I met her when I visited to Purwakarta, Indonesia. Yep, I tried to make it and I failed. That's not easy guys. Salute for her ^^
