hello from long sleep...


Well, hello again :) 
Sudah enam bulan terakhir saya post di blog saya ini. Selama enam bulan masa 'sleep' saya, banyak banget adventure yang sudah saya alami. Thank God, I'm blessed! 
Back again with my daily routine as a student. yup, most of you know that currently i'm pursuing my master in Leeds and now i'm in my thesis-phase (LOL). 

Need lots of effort and energy to do the last piece of my education (really!) i mean to start writing, i need lots of motivation. I don't even understand my sleep time anymore, i sleep at 4 am and wake up at 11 am? (mum gonna be so mad if she knew this :/) i start my thesis war like in 6 pm and in between 11am to 6 pm u can guess what activities i do daily... yes, you almost right... keep guessing... 

yes, i cook
i facetime-ing with my boyfriend 
i browse many blogs 
i eat 
sometime 
i sleep again 

such a lazy pig, gosh! i don't have class anymore this semester so i don't know why i turned into this lazy pig. so then until now... i'm still trying to motivate myself, with any ways from calling my mum (she always keep me insane with my thesis, especially my dad 'have you write something for ur dissertation today?') 

and distance... 
yes distance is one of the reason, far from family, boyfriend and friends. but i have to keep fighting, i know that out there many of you guys feel the same. especially pursuing ur dream education outside your 'comfy' box. 

so when i'm bored (not because i have nothing to do, just a break from my writing) i cleaned my room today then i found this paragraph from bible and this paragraph really motivate me from my 'thesis-blues'. i want to share it with you guys, hopefully you are agree with me too :) 

" There is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving, and that peace of God, which is so much greater than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4: 6-7" 

it reminded me of my mama always says to me 'don't forget to pray in every situation' 
this is my nite-can't sleep-supposedtostudy-thesisblues, i'm sorry bothering you guys with my chit chat. 

i hope you guys have a great day and nite (UK time) 

good night, 

Putri 

ps: i'm going to tell you about my baby project with my sissy-partner but please check out The It Girl :)

I miss you so much, so i write for you...

Yes, it's been months me and my special 'who took my breath away' doing this long distance relationship. Surabaya, Indonesia - Leeds, United Kingdom is really long way to do this relationship. In total 20 hours by plane, 12225.866 kilometres (based on distance calculator), 6 hours of time differences and i'm so blessed to be with my special man.

"But something happened / For the very first time with you / My heart melts into the ground / Found something true / And everyone's looking around / Thinking i'm going crazy"

Yes, it was an unplanned moment to know you, yeah you know the story baby. It was a nice time to talk and to know you at the first time. We chatted all the time and i remembered when you would reply all chats (yup, after you finish all your work). I deeply falling with all of our 'whatever' conversation that keeps me want to know you more, and so do you. It wasn't a good time to start a new relationship (that was i thought that time), but my heart kept telling me to keep talking and know you better.

Yes, i finally i saw you on that day. 3 days before i moved to Leeds to continue my study. I was so nervous and i didn't know what to do, what to talk to you about. But i tried to stay cool, and at the end you commented that i'm way to 'cool' (i'm really sorry). We spent the 3 days most of them together, i had so much fun to get to know you but also sad that i had to leave the country and also you. I didn't know what to expected with us.

Yes, our relationship is such an unique one. You remember how you need to get into the top of the ship to have a FaceTime with me? remember how you spent your saturday at the mall, you bought kebab then you FaceTime me so we can spent saturday night just like other couples even thou we are miles away. Remember how i surprised you on your b-day but you surprised me first by picked me up from the airport (i was over the moon). When i hurt my feet from basketball practice, you stayed all night to accompany me and calmed me down and told me that i still can walk and watch justin timberlake concert.

But you see now, i'm blessed and over the moon with us. I know long distance relationship is one hell of thing that we must get through, but i believe that we can pass this. I know you and you know me, other don't matter.

Thank you for our 'us' time we've spent these months, thank you for believing in me and understand me even thou you know how i can be a pain in the ass especially on monthly time, thank you for being there for me even thou only from FaceTime, thank you for letting me tell you all of my dreams and being such a good listener, thank you for being a big brother, a best friend and mi amore.

I can't thank God enough of this blessing, keep praying for what best for us

I miss you, please be home soon

Being a Londoners for 3 weeks

I love being a Londoners, first i was so scared i mean living in really crowded city like London you must have a big courage. Travelling around with public transportations like buses, tubes, trains well that happen in London. 

I stayed in London for 3 weeks, i took a short course in fashion business at the Instituto Marangoni. I took this short course because i already have my own clothing business i want it to understand more about the business behind fashion. 

I was such an great course, from 10am till 4pm i learned so many things. So many new things. Not just new knowledge from the lecturer but also, i have more understanding how fashion works (not the glamour part), i also visited some fashion exhibition in London (blown away with it!)

Beside the learning from school part, i tried to explore more about London. I went to some new places and tried some London f&b like cupcakes, best fish and chips and bubble tea. The weather was so hot, one of the day of my 3 weeks being Londoners was the hottest day in London. 

So here are the re-cap pictures of my 3 weeks being a Londoners, i'd love to do it again . Hopefully!

What I Eat ? Chicken Soup

Since i moved to Leeds, where i live now for the next 1 year ahead i found my new hobby... cooking. Yes, cooking is my new hobby because as an abroad student i have to survive (not wasting money fro extravagant foods) so i decided to cook.

Well, i'm not a very good chef but at least foods that i cooked all are my favourite. Today i will show you how to make my own Chicken Soup with a help from indofood soup herbs :) (i tried my own, mixed my herbs and i failed) 

So, first what you need to do is prepare. What you need are:
  • Chicken (fillet, drumstick, tights)
  • Vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cabbages)
  • Water 
  • Olive oil (or any oil)
  • Indofood Soup Herbs 
  • Salt and pepper  

Yes, to cook a chicken soup you need CHICKEN (of course, duh!) hihhiii, anyways. Usually i use fillet chicken because it is easy to cut and you don;t need to worry with the bones. Because i just arrived from outside the town (visiting my boyfriend), i rushed into the supermarket and get the cheapest chicken (it was 1 pound, and it was a drumstick, #lifeasanaboardstudent #anakrantau) and also set of vegetables (contain: carrots, broccoli, cabbage).

Then, fill half of the pan with water and add 2 spoon of oil (i used olive oil). Turn on the stove and waited till it boiled. Put the chicken into the pan and waited for 3 minutes till it cooked, then added the vegetables into the pan and leave it for 1 minutes. 

Teared out the Indofood Soup herbs and put half of it into the pan, mixed it and wait for about 3 minutes. Then tasted it and if you need to add salt and pepper, please do add. i'd loved to add pepper to make it more delicious :) 

Vegiies!

Lots of chicken (i love chicken)

Half pan of water and 2 spoon of olive oil

This recipe and this food is one of my favourite. When i eat chicken soup i always remember my home and my mum because she love to cook this chicken soup for me but without the instant herbs ( i need to get short lesson with her when i go home) 

ps: i'm so sorry i forgot to take picture after the soup finished, i ate it because i was so starving :) 

Bon Appetit !
