3BT: Random Days

1. I almost dropped a doughnut while taking it out of the bag. R2 and I were sitting in the kitchen at that time, about to drink coffee. I saw R2 smiling after I almost dropped the doughnut. 

Me: "Hey, don't smile 'coz I almost dropped the doughnut!"
R2: "I'm not smiling 'coz of that. I'm smiling 'coz I'm happy. After all, I have you!"
Me: (awwwwwwing inside) "Unfair! That's an unexpected response!" (smile)

2. Made some banana-chocolate pastries for my coworkers which became a hit (and I could share with them how easy to make it, too). Glad to know they liked 'em! :-D

Recipe: a box of frozen pastry (mine has 5 sheets of frozen pastries), some bananas, and some chocolate. Let the frozen pastry out in warm temperature until it's soft, then cut them into thin strips (around 2.5 cm wide) then cut a banana in half. Wrap the half banana with the pastry strip diagonally until it's all covered. Do it until you're out of pastry and bananas. Bake them in the oven until they're golden brown. Let them cool off for a while. Then melt some chocolate (I prefer dark chocolate around 200 grams) with a little butter and smear it on top of the pastries. All done! :-D Result: 10 banana-chocolate pastries.

3. A customer saying nice stuff to me that made my eyes wet. BLESS YOU, each and every single one of you! I'm REALLY blessed by your words!

4. Talking to Mom on Skype after she got back from Taiwan with her friend. Glad to know she had fun and that she only felt a little unwell once during a bus trip but after taking some anti motion sickness pill, she felt much better.

5. The very slow translating project I'm doing for a customer is nearing its end. Only about 20 pages left, though I still have the big task of editing my translation, but it's always nice to know that a project is almost ending. :-D It feels like almost completing a marathon (not that I've ever been in one, though).

6. Being able to enjoy Winter Wonderland scenery this month already. Even though the snow has mostly melted now, but it was such a treat!

7. Start listening to Christmas songs already....HO HO HO HO HOOOHHHH...

3BT: December 20, 2007

1. Seeing hubby adding some ribbons to one of my gifts to make it look nicer. *grin*

2. Talking to Mom via Skype. Now that I'm getting some income, I can buy Skype credit myself = I can call my parents more often. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!

3. Writing "I love you and I miss you" SMS to my brother and getting the same reply HUE He HE HE HE HE HE HE...*Cheshire cat grin*

4. Buying some frozen pastry 'coz I plan on making some luumu torttu (plum pastry) today. The anticipation is killing me HUA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

5. Something funny happened this afternoon. Hubby came home for lunch break at around 2 pm, then I asked him to give me a ride to a supermarket. He did so, then while I was on the check-out counter and I was about to go home, I spotted a VERY familiar jacket and I realized it was HUBBY!!! Since it's a very small village, he went to the office and then he had to go back to that same supermarket to fix something there HA HA HA HA HA HA...It was SO funny!!! ;-D

6. Hubby calling me not long after that, asking me where I was since I was first planning on going to Lidl afterward. I guess he was done fixing something in the supermarket and so he wanted to give me a lift to Lidl since I had many things to carry already. Bless him!!!

7. It's a very small village here, so it only takes him one minute or two to get to his office from our apt. And since the supermarkets are located downtown, it takes only the same amount of time to drop me off in one of them since there aren't any traffic jams here. I'm GRATEFUL for this, since a friend of mine who works in Jakarta spends at least a total of 3 hours each day on the road to go to her office and back home.
