My Lovely Sister

There is no better friend than a sister and there is no better sister than my sisters. I have two sisters, so I receive double happiness, double bless and double love. 

I wrote a blog about my elder sister when her birthday. Now, I'm writing about my second sister for her birthday as well. My second sister is Anna Winata. She was born on 05 November 1985. Ehmm, so you know how old she is? Well, I never count it because in my mind no matter how old she is, she will always same. 

Flashback to when I was 6 - I bet her hobby is watching horror movie. She always bring a lot of horror DVD to home e.g. Chucky, Office You Gui, etc. She know I'm a timid then always forced me to watch together. Well, actually after watch this kind of movie, I'll be afraid to go to the toilet alone then sleep in the bedroom alone. After that, she like to fright me with those horror movie. I remember after I watched Chucky, she told me there might be bad spirit in doll. OMOOOOOOOOOOOO so, i throw all of my dolls to store room. LOLOLOL. Anyway, I'm kinda miss those moment until the last horror movie we watched together is "Solstice" on 2009 (maybe) at cinema - but no scare or sudden fright anymore like that silly yet happy childhood.  

When I was primary 5, she get married. At that time, she was 23 years old. I was so sad for almost a week because I feel like less one person to share the room with us. So, my elder sister often sent me to my second sister's house. At the same time, I was happy too for her happiness. Now, she has two children, Clara Wijaya - my lovely niece and Christanto Wijaya - my handsome nephew. My niece and nephew bring a lot of joys to me especially Clara. I love them so much. 

Yeah, I ever mentioned in another post that my biggest sister bought my first barbie doll with beautiful flower blue gown is from my elder sister. My second beach barbie doll (brown skin) is from my second sister. So, everytime she went to Singapore, I'll always mentioned, "Ce, boi barbie ho" (Ce, please buy barbie doll). I must said that about 6 from 10 barbie dolls is from my second sister. Even she traveled to Hongkong, she also bought 3 pieces costumes (Cheongsam (Chinese), hanbok (Korean) and folk costumes (European).

See? How lucky am I, I have two super sisters. And as i know, Singapore barbie doll is quite expensive if convert to Rupiah. I am a lucky girl! Honestly, I'm happy because I have two sisters who love me a lot instead of having a lot of barbie dolls. I never count bless from how many barbie dolls I received but how much they love me. 

Same as I mentioned before in my blog for my big sister, both of my sisters always give more to me. They always treat me eat, travel and shopping. Every year, they always bought me new clothes for Chinese New Year. See, how bless I am. I have two sisters means I received double happiness, double bless and double love. Thanks God for giving me such both wonderful sisters:) 

There are a lot of wonderful things that I can't mentioned it one by one at here. One thing that I must admit is I'm not a good sister. We have been being sister for 20 years, I never give anything to you, I'm just keep receiving from you. Deep from my heart, I want to say, "THANK YOU, CE". I'm so grateful that I have such an amazing parents and sisters who are loving me unconditionally. 

I LOVE YOU, PAPA, MAMA, TACE, ERCE!

On your birthday, I wish you will always be happy, happy and happy! Happy Birthday, Erce!

 

The Magnificent Uluwatu Temple

Honestly, I’m kinda miss Bali. 

Back to my hometown about 2 months after explored Bali for 6months. 

One of the best place I’d love to visit again is Uluwatu Temple. Some of my friends told me that is not worth to visit Uluwatu Temple because it is hot and see nothing except the cliff. So, I wasn’t tended to visit there until 2 weeks before I ended my journey in Bali.  

At the first, I was hesitated what time should I visit there because I afraid of hot day. Then I decided to visit there at late afternoon about 4.30pm. When I arrived there, I feel coooool. The temperature is cool and the attraction is cool as well.

It was crowded of tourist and domestic. I believe it is happening every day. There is an entrance fee for adult domestic is Rp20.000/person and tourist is Rp40.000/person. After buy the ticket, we have to wear “sarong” and a belt if wear short pant or skirt because this is a holy place – Hindu Pura (temple).

There is a Hindu Pura (temple) in the hill. 

We have to walk through the crowded stairs to reach the top. It was quite tight “traffic jam” at the stairs because people would like to take photo from the stairs with background of stunning waves hit the magnificent cliff. I I think only there the best position for taking photo. Honestly, I was sat at there for about a half hour – magnificent view with brace winds. 

Please note there is a lot of monkeys, beware of your eye glasses, hat, bag, mobile, etc. If unfortunately your belonging is take by the monkey, please contact the staff directly. They will help you to bargain with the monkey, maybe you have to exchange it with money or something.  

 

There is Kecak dance show (Balinese traditional dance) every 5.30pm – 6.30pm with ticket Rp100.000/person. I heard from others, this spectacular dance is perfectly match with the stunning sunset. I think It would be perfect and romantic if I watch this show with my beloved one next time if I visit Bali again. So, that's mean I must find a beloved one before visit Bali again. HAHAHA.

Note: 

1) The best time arrive at Uluwatu Temple is before sunset about 4pm. 

Distance from Kuta to Uluwatu about 1.5hour. 

2) No transarbagita (public bus) to Uluwatu Temple. 

3) If you take a cab, please ask driver to wait you (usually waiting fee is apply). 

4) Please aware of monkey! Beware of your hat, glasses, mobile, etc. 

5) Menstruating woman do not enter this holy place. 

Information: 

There are Nyang Nyang Beach and Bvlgari Resort nearby here.

All You Can Eat Dimsum at Sanur Harum (Bali)

All you can eat dimsum at Sanur Harum. 

Some of the dimsum are contain prok - nonhalal. 

 

While waiting the food, there is an appetizer - braised peanut and kind like cucumber but that is not cucumber. To be honest, they served food very slow. We waited about twenty minutes just served one plate of food. 

After wait about twenty minutes.

[Jelly Fish Salad] 

Delicious! The jelly fish is chewy mixed to slightly sweet sauce. 

There are fried vermicelli, sliced capsicum on the bottom 

and sprinkled sesame seeds on the top.

[Pork Belly] 

It might look tasty but to be honest I'm not recommend it at all. 

The sliced pork belly is over chewy and not marinated well. 

Only the sauce is good. 

[Roasted Chicken and Garlic] 

Delicious! Tender inside, crispy outside. The meat is tender and the skin is crispy,  

Don't forget to dip in to the chili sauce!

[BBQ Pork Honey] 

Delicious for the first bite. Good marinated and slightly sweet of honey. 

But eat too much without rice, taste like to oily. 

 [Deep Fried Marinated Minced Squid Wrapped in Bacon] 

Over-chewy! eventhough the bacon is crispy but the squid inside is over-fried. 

[Deep Fried Crispy Wonton] 

Crispy wonton with shrimp filling. Well done!

[Shrimp Roll Wrapped in Rice Papper]

Eventhough it is fried version but the rice papper is chewy. 

Anyway, it is good enough! I still can taste the juicy of the shrimp.

Well done!

 [Crispy Fried Gow Gee]

Crispy and crunchy just like sotong crackers. 

No any taste. 

[Crispy Prawn] 

Great presentation!

The taste is average. Nothing special. 

Anyway, it will be great if you eat with the cabbages as well. 

[Pork Sio May] 

Same as the name. 100% is pork, no prawn at all. 

 [Steamed Money Bag] 

There is spinach inside the money bag. 

The skin is quite chewy. Overall the taste is delicious. 

I love it!

[Steamed Chicken Bun]

At the first, I don't expect anything or I may say this is the lowest expectation but 

actually this is the most delicious dimsum here.

A great combination of peanut butter and chicken meat as the filling. 

Love it so much!

[Choung Pan Char Siew] 

I prefer the skin than filling. 

[Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Bean]

The taste is under average. 

They should put some sliced ginger on the top to cover the pork smelly. 

[Bak Kut Teh] 

The taste is more like bakso kuah than bak kut teh. 

It is sweet and oily. 

[Chicken Meat and Sweet Corn Soup]

Same as the name, it is sweet with a lot of corns, minced chicken meat and

scrambled egg. 

[Sago and Honey Melon]

 End with delicious dessert. 

The best way to describe the taste is like melted strawberry ice cream with sago and melon.

[Mango Pudding]

Another choice of dessert, 

the taste was great, except the cream on the side (not creamy at all). All is about mango, there are some mango cubes inside the pudding.
