another fact about ar ir

today when we learned to read, I brought Ar Ir to get to know a i u e o
hari ini selagi belajar membaca, aku mengenalkan Ar Ir kepada a i u e o

I noticed that Ar learned ba as a unity. so he recognized every single couple of letters.
aku perhatikan Ar melihat ba sebagai satu kesatuan. jadi dia mengenali pasangan huruf.

but Ir, it seemed so hard for him to recognized the letters the way ar did. Ir saw it as b-a = ba. he recognized a i u e o as the shape of his mouth. that way he'd think a second and knew what to say when an f met an a, i, u,e or o.
tapi Ir, kesulitan untuk belajar dengan cara itu. Ir justru melihat b-a = ba. dia mengenali a i u e o sebagai bentuk mulutnya. dengan begitu, dia cukup berpikir sebentar untuk mengetahui apa yang harus diucapkan ketika f bertemu a, i, u, e, atau o

and the interesting thing is, they learn in the different ways, but at the same speed.
dan yang menarik, mereka belajar dengan cara yang berbeda, tapi dalam kecepatan yang sama.

oseng-oseng buncis udang

greenbean and shrimp oseng-oseng

agak pedes, tapi Ir doyan banget!
it's a little hot, but Ir loved it!

bahan/what you need:

100 grms udang/shrimp ---> bersihkan kulitnya(peel)
200 grms buncis/greenbeans ---> potong 2cm (cut in 1 inch)
3 bawang putih/garlic ---> iris halus (slice)
4 bawang merah/shallot ---> iris halus (slice)
2 cabe merah/red pepper ---> iris halus (slice)
2 cabe hijau/green pepper ---> iris halus (slice)
1 lembar daun salam/salam leaves
1/2 sdt garam /teaspoon salt
1 sdt gula /teaspoon sugar
2 sendok (sp) minyak sayur/vegetable oil
50 cc air/water



cara memasaknya:
panaskan minyak. masukkan berturut-turut bawang putih, bawang merah, daun salam, cabe merah dan hijau. tunggu hingga agak layu dan harum, masukkan udang. tunggu hingga berubah warna, masukkan buncis. tunggu sebentar, tambahkan air, garam, gula. tunggu sebentar. selesai.


how to make it:
heat the oil. put in in order garlic, shallot, salam leave, green and red pepper. wait until they smell good, put in shrimp. wait until it changes color, put in greenbeans. wait, put in water, salt and sugar. wait few minutes. done.



boleh dicoba mengganti gulanya dengan 1 sdm kecap manis. rasanya beda, tapi warnanya akan jadi agak gelap.
you can try to substitute the sugar with 1 spoon full of sweet soy sauce. it will taste different with a darker look.

beach and sweet thing

my parents are here, and we went to marina beach. not the sandy wavy beach I like, where I can jumped in and splash water. but the air was fresh anyway.

and I found a sweet thing on my father's cellphone. the wallpaper is his picture with my mother.

do you know my dear?

you woke me up
from my apparent death
when everything has no more taste
and lost the sweetness
no...
neither you brought it to me
nor you showed me where it is
you are nothing but a flame
who has brighten up my sight
and accompany my steps
groping in the dark
it's over
please go
thank you
for I have tasted the sweetness
after this I know
there is bitter I have to swallow
but I don't want to let it show
goodbye.

*and I have much more poems*
