My mother in law is having her 79th birthday next Saturday. I prepared small party for my father in law last month so it was considered as birthday present from us. But this time we're going to have birthday dinner together with my sister in law's family. I must come bringing a nice birthday present, right?!
Couldn't think of any good idea. Help help helppppp m(_ _)m *bowing*

Mothers' visit
Just finished cleaning up the mess in my kitchen. My friends went back home already two hours ago and Iki fell asleep soon after that. It was a very late nap (over 5 p.m!), so I guess tonight we will have late dinner + late bath + late goodnight sleep again (_ _o)
It was really fun today. At first Iki was nervous and panic that some girls are coming over, but then he got used and enjoyed their visit. Iki brought them all playing in his room, so we, mothers have plenty time to chat and laugh :p.
I prepared easy Japanese Kare with Saffron Rice. It was a blast. Everyone loved it, especially the saffron rice that they asked for more.
At last I didn't serve my tissue box-like brownies. Remember that Japanese eats with eyes?! Whenever I visited my friends' house, every meal was always presented beautifully. Felt like eating at a restaurant. So guessed what I served them?! KERUPUK UDANG :p. Boy, they loved it. They asked me to bring some for them if I go back to Indonesia. Hmmm....wished I was clever enough to think about this Kerupuk possibility yesterday!! I shouldn't have to spend the whole afternoon making butter and baking cake, right?!?! (>.<)
They brought a lot of children snacks, Japanese sweets, bread and cake too. So we were all overeating and happy (^__^)
Have some kare leftover so I don't have to cook anymore tonight, but it's almost 7.30 so I'm off to wake Iki up now. Hmmmm he definitely will be angry and have a bad mood tonight :(

Shierly-made butter
You probably are getting tired reading about this butter thing :p, but yes, again I still couldn't get any unsalted butter. Tomorrow some friends are coming over for lunch and I planned to bake French brownies for dessert. So today I decided to try making my own unsalted butter.
All I need were only a pack of cream and following the very clear illustrated instructions here. In less than 15 minutes, tadaaaa I got unsalted butter (^___^). From 150 ml cream, I got 80 gr unsalted butter + 50 cc buttermilk (will think of how to use this later).
And this is the final result. French Brownies from VideoJug
Little Iki dropped it while it's not cooling down yet. The hole is as big as the hole on my heart. It looks like a tissue box now (T_T). How would I show this to my friends tomorrow?!?!?!?!?! *lemes*

Nerd
Today I got online using MSN messenger again after looooong looooong time. And it was because I was looking for Hiro and could only find him there. Good point is that I met Tina and had little chat while baking Kue Yun today. I was very happy and enjoyed it a little bit too much. I got my cake a bit burnt as the result (>.<) . It didn't look good, but it did taste good! (^___^)
I turned on my PC again after put Iki into sleep and got my MSN automatically connected. A long lost friend greeted me and complained that I didn't get online on MSN for years. When he asked what was new, I told him that I'm now married, with a son, and living in Japan. To my surprised he was very very angry. He said that he waited for me online for years, only to find me married. I was like "HA?! Who the hell are you, "yelling" at me like that?!?!"
I couldn't remember if I promised him anything. I couldn't remember if our relationship was more than a "friend". As far as I could remember, whole our chats in the pasts were about his complaints about his works, his house, his life, him having no friends. I was just being a very good "ear" to all of his ramblings. And how dare he said that I gave him impressions that we were in "relationship"?!, and now even asked to MEET me, ALONE?! hiiiiiii noooo way!
I blocked him right away and got offline from MSN.
N.E.R.D!!!!

Butter
Still about butter :p
This butter matter has been a national news lately. That Japan is in butter shortage. Funny for a country like Japan, isn't it? Anyway restaurants, bakery, and women who love to bake get the biggest impact. Others? Like my mother in law, for example, she doesn't really care. So do some of my friends who do not like baking. They said that most Japanese food do not need any butter, so the butter shortage doesn't really bother them. ALL Japanese would be panic if there's soy bean shortage, since it's the main ingredients for making miso, tofu, and natto (for example). Make sense for me. There're always those three things inside my refrigerator, and I'm sure are inside other Japanese's refrigerators all over Japan.
Anyway this afternoon I found butter at Seiyu supermarket. Only 2 packs left. I ran and took them all once I saw them, and somewhat felt satisfied when a woman behind me gasped "a-re?!?!" (read: heee???!!!). Well, I regretted as I walked out of the supermarket, though. I should give one butter to her..........
But it does mean I could bake this Kue Yun I've been dying of (it doesn't need unsalted butter). I got the recipe from Yun, but because she doesn't know the name of the cake, I named it "Kue Yun". Let's see how would it be this evening hehehe
There's still no unsalted butter for making cake though, I went to the other supermarket to check (and there was no butter at all there). But it's OK. After reading Amy's blog, I think I'll make my own unsalted butter later when I need it, but using faster method: this one.
OK, off to the kitchen now. Will start baking my Kue Yun (^___^)

No Butter Anywhere!!!! (>.<)
Butter is nowhere to be found in Tokyo :(. I can't believe it. It's been two months. We're using margarine for bread already now, but definitely not for cooking or baking *sigh*. Recently I bake something with Iki at least once a week. With no butter stock everywhere, I must find other productive hobby then......(Hiro complained that my "blogging and browsing and chatting" hobby is not productive at all)
I'm wondering when will the butter market condition be normal again, I have long list meals to cook using butter :p

Sick
Iki catches a cold! Suddenly he got little cough and his nose stuffed since last night. Poor boy....Hiro said that he might get the virus when I brought him to play at department store yesterday afternoon or because he was too stressed after locked me outside yesterday :p.
We spent almost the whole day in the living room watching Thomas the Tank engine's movies. He was weak and wanted me to hug him all the time. He kept saying: "ci-chan...koawa.." (read: Iki-chan is like koala).
It took time to feed him too, so this afternoon I brought him to supermarket (after we went to doctor) and asked him to chose whatever he wanted for lunch. He picked tarako (salted fish eggs)- his favorite ever, udon (buckwheat noodle), and green peas. I added some vegetables, and this is what he had for lunch:
He ate that happily! And as usual this boy loves to drink medicine. The powdered medicine he just got from the doctor today was orange so he was excited to drink it. He even asked for more hahaha. My boy really really likes medicine, in any form or color. For him, medicine is a dessert :p
Get well soon, Iki.....it's just really sad to see him weakly played and laid on my lap the whole day. I missed his screams, jumps, and dances. I miss my naughty yet healthy boy......

Locked (>.<)
Iki locked me at the veranda when I was taking the dry clothes this evening...
At that time I just finished saying "Iki, stop playing with the sliding door", when I heard the locked sound. Damn!!!!! I was locked at the veranda by a 2 years old boy!!! And don't you dare to laugh at me grrrhhhhh
Our apartment's sliding doors to the verandas are equipped with safety locked so that kids couldn't open it from inside. And today I got the proof that kids (or toddler) really couldn't open it!!.
I tried to teach Iki from outside how to open the damn lock but he couldn't. He tried and tried though, following my instructions with his panic face. But yeah....it was too difficult to him.
I told him to take the wireless phone and taught him how to call Hiro then. He did it!!!! I didn't expect he could understand and follow my instructions properly. Smart boy! but papa-chan was not smart enough to understand that it was an emergency call :(
Today was my first period day so my stomachache was killing me. Usually if Hiro has to drink with his colleagues he always sends me an SMS around that time, so I was worried too. Couldn't imagine if I had to stay out there until 1 a.m and let little Iki alone without food inside (>.<). It was warm today but I was so worried and scared and angry that I felt really cold. I was locked outside for more than 1 hour when suddenly I saw a little girl passed with her bike. I called her and explained her what happened with my very limited Japanese. Luckily she understood and ran for help. One mother then came over and called the apartment administrator to help me out.....
I didn't know what to say then when I read Hiro's sms on my mobile phone: "Did you call me? Aku angkat then mendengar your voice and Iki. Waktu kerja jangan call me. ONLY EMERGENCY aja" How could I not blow up reading that?!?! IT WAS AN EMERGENCY CALL!!!!
Anyway it's over. I learned my lesson today: to bring my mobile phone EVERYWHERE. Iki learned his lesson too today, I hope. He was also panic, trying his best to help me. After the apartment administrator rescued me, Iki hugged me tightly while saying "coyi, mama....coyi..." (sorry, mama). I forgave him already the moment he tried his best to help me......
Oh dear.....what an embarassing experience. I guess tomorrow everyone would know that "Iki-kun no mama was locked at the veranda by Iki" (>.<)

Chinese food dinner
Last Sunday we had dinner at a nearby small Chinese restaurant nearby our apartment. At first I doubted if the food was good, but surprisingly it was really really good!!
We ordered this stir fry cuttle fish in oyster sauce. Boy, the cuttle fish was very soft. Too bad I only ate one piece!!! Little Iki loved this menu that he took my portion as well.
And then came this Fried Rice. Tasted good. Four stars out of five :)
This is the star of our dinner. Tea-smoked Duck (zhang cha ya zi). It was so tasty and tender and juicy. And the skin was very crispy.
Everyone loved this menu. Little Iki ate 3 or 4 pieces greedily :))
At the end we ordered Shark Fin soup. We were not full yet wanted something light. It was too salty for Hiro, but for me it was just perfect. Iki? he was too busy with his smoked duck :p
Total damage was 9310 yen = around 90 USD. Gee....small restaurant doesn't mean "cheap" here!!

Good news
Yesterday night I heard a good news after feeling nervous and down for these few weeks *phew*.
Hiro told me that he is not to be sent to that dangerous country where he couldn't bring the family. The news from the other country is not clear yet, though. But for now he will work here, in Japan (^__^). How long? no one knows! but at least he still will be here for the next 2 or three weeks.
God works in his own way. Thank you for praying with me, my dear bestfriends *hugs hugs*
The weather was as good as my feeling today. We had outdoor activities the whole afternoon. I brought enough snacks, and a magazine. He could play by himself at the park now and let me read peacefully. Only came to me when he wanted something to eat and took a rest. We went back home until he was too tired to say no, and was asleep in a minute I put him on his bed hahaha.
This flower is now fully bloomed here. I found them all around our place. What flower? I don't know and I don't bother to know. So white, pure, light and pretty. Like a baby's heart.
Hiro was working until late again today so I made this new recipe I took from my new monthly cooking magazine, with a bit modifications here and there to meet Iki's preference. Rolled pork with Tarako (fish's salted eggs) and boiled spinach. He loved it!!! \(^o^)/

"Busy" Week
This week is the busiest ever :))
There was no swimming school on Monday, but some mothers gathered at Sakurako-chan's house. We had lunch and fun talks there. The kids enjoyed playing with lots of toys there. They are about the same age so seemed that they were not interested to play together yet. They just got together if they want other kid's toy, and ended up fighting (_ _o)
There were some hungry mothers too waiting for their kids playing after their daily shopping. We ranted each other of how difficult to get the kids home with all those toys parked freely nearby the parking area and stairs (>.<)
Then I went to Saitama to visit Nova and Kiyo on Thursday. It was an hour trip from my house but we had so much fun there. Nova cooked Indonesian food, complete with her spicy sambal, krupuk udang, and Nutrisari!!! I couldn't remember when was the last time I had Nutrisari! Iki fell in love with krupuk and Nova gave us some to be cooked at home (Thanksssss a lot, Nov!). Too bad Iki and Kiyo were still not interested to play together. Most of the time Iki wanted the toy in Kiyo's hand and Kiyo also was interested to whatever Iki held. Iki is not as aggressive as Kiyo but he tried his best to defend or take the toy he's interested in. And so did Kiyo. There were always be little fightings between them hahaha
Iki and Kiyo. They are one year old different, but they are at about the same height now :)). They were fighting for this wheel drive at the park.
After swimming lesson on Friday, I had lunch together with some friends again at the Fitness Center's cafe. The food was really good and this time amazingly the kids were playing together. Playing here means running around and chasing each other. They were very active and noisy and uncontrollable. It was a hard work to stop them and bring them home, and still then Iki ran away from me again as I parked his bike at our apartment, to play with the car toys. Some other tired mothers with their shopping bags again welcomed me with their weak smile :p
Thanks God then I didn't have to meet anyone on Saturday. I just went out for a little shopping then spent the rest of the day at home with Iki and papa-chan. This -staying at home- is a very unusual thing in our home!!
And today I had lunch at an Indian restaurant in Shinjuku with a friend. The food was really good though it was not as spicy as expected. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet, and was really a good deal for 1500 yen for each person.
Lately I spent a lot of time with mothers so I felt really good to meet a single woman. For a while I was free from mothers' talks (kids, houseworks, cooking, shopping, toys, and even schools!), and had a totally different topic to talk about: travels, passion, work, restaurants, friendship, guys :p, fashion, and body shaping (haha!). Thanks to Hiro for taking care of Iki the whole day (^_^)
And I took this photo on our way home after having dinner at a nearby Chinese restaurant tonight. Sakura at night. As beautiful as they're seen during the day. This would be my last Sakura photo this year. As they are almost all gone now :)
What a fun yet tiring week. I guess next week I just want to stay at home :)

Please....
Hiro is not leaving on the 15th as scheduled. The company said that he must wait for the new information on April 10th. Whether he's going to be sent to that country where we couldn't go with him, or to the other country (which is much much better because he could bring the whole family).
The possibility is not big though (_ _;). Only about 10%. But it IS a hope. Though a miracle is needed, I do wish there is any to help us.
I pray day and night for that, and please pray with me too. Please pray to bring the miracle here so that the 10% chance could come true...........
PS: Last night I heard from Hiro that the possibility is only 1% now :(. God, I really need a miracle!!

Throwing away oil
Throwing away garbage here has its own rule. Garbage must be separated based on several categories. Combustible, incombustible, pet bottle, silicon tray, bin, milk package, old clothes, newspaper, magazines, and empty big boxes. Its more or less the same with the rule in Incheon except for oil. In Incheon oil must be thrown away inside a big special tank nearby the big public trash bin, meanwhile here oil must be put inside combustible garbage. When I heard it for the first time I was confused. How is it to put liquid into combustible garbage?!
We are big fans of deep fried food so oil is an essential need in our home. So how to throw away oil properly was one of my important to do list to learn. There are indeed some ways that can turn oil into combustible garbage. We use this one:
Powder that can turn oil into jelly like thing. The oil must be heated first until about 40 degrees Celsius. And then I just have to put the powder inside, mix them well with chopsticks, and let the oil cold. The final result is this:
This big oil jelly then can be thrown away as combustible garbage. It was really interesting for me hihihi (dasar udik!)
How do you throw away your oil?
