Bakwan Kawi for the Starving Stomach

 

Lembah UGM Food court is one place which you can visit easily in UGM because it is located cross of the Faculty of Filsafat’s building and near Filsafat ring-road. There are many vendors that sell various foods and drinks in Lembah UGM food court such as, Meatball, Mie Ayam, Bubur ayam, Batagor, Syomai, Cireng, Cimol, Bakwan Kawi, Es buah, Es teler and so on. You can enjoy your breakfast, lunch or your dinner there if you interested with the scenery and the foods.

Actually, that was my second times visit Lembah UGM food court with my friends. We wanted to have our lunch there and tried some foods. However it was rather difficult to decide what food which I want to eat while my stomach was starving. I thought, “I want eat all food here and make my stomach happy”, but I have no enough budgets to order all foods there. So that I just went to a food stall and followed by my friends ordered Bakwan Kawi.

Three bowls of Bakwan Kawi, two glasses of ice tea and one glass of orange jus were being our lunch in Lembah UGM food court, and it relieved me, satisfied me from my starving that day, thanks God. Then we ate it while enjoying the scenery of Lembah UGM. So peaceful and cool although the weather was so hot. There are so many trees and also a tennis field beside Fitness center UGM in Lembah UGM area. We spent a lot of times there, eating, chatting, joking, and enjoying the scenery, a lovely time with lovely friends and food.

Commonly, Bakwan kawi is one of food from Malang. It seems like meatball with pangsit on it. However those are different, there is also one or two meatballs on a bowl of Bakwan Kawi, but the dominant thing are the Bakwan itself. There are two kinds of Bakwan Kawi, the fried Bakwan Kawi and the steam Bakwan Kawi. The fried one is very crispy and tasty outside, but softly inside. I even heard “kreesss.. kresss.. “ when I eat it. In the other hand, the steam Bakwan Kawi is soft outside and inside, and its taste feels better when you eat it with the gravy. If you like spicy food, you can add some sauce or sambal on your Bakwan Kawi and it will make the hot, crispy and tasty Bakwan Kawi on a bowl.. Yummmmyy.. !!

Monday at 1 pm is my creative writing class with Mr. M. Dalih Akbar Sembiring or we call him as Mas Dalih. This is a class for training the students in their writing skill when they write an essay, novel and so on. We try to use our words to make a work be so creative with our style in writing, our skill in using the grammar and also our imagination in writing something. It is quite interesting for me since Mas Dalih mentioned a word ‘blogger’. Well,, I belong in these class and when I heard that word, i thought that he required us to make a blog. I never have a blog before, so that I asked my friend to helped me make it.
Regularly, have a blog is a simple thing but it is useful for us. We can share anything that we want to and post everything that we like such as our writing of something, or our photos. We can share our adventure, our feeling, our point of view of something or even we can share our problems too by using the words and our imagination. So that we can make our own world in a blog as we want.

have a conversation with 'Thing'

Monday at 1 pm, as usual, that was my creative writing class with Mas Dalih. However it was different from the previous class. He gave students the task to make a conversation with a ‘thing’, anything... and I started to think….

My mine was blank and the first thing that I thought in that moment was ‘Time’. So I started to imagine what was our conversation (time and me.. ) talked about.

And this is my conversation with the ‘Time’

Time    :           Hey !!! what are you doing there??

Me       :           Nothing ,,

Time    :           But you must doing something .. Idiot !!!

Me       :           Just shut up..!!! why you are so annoying??

Time    :           Haaahh,, what the hell are you talking about?

Me       :           I want you to stop…  passing me.. I’m sad..

Time    :           Are you kidding me? You know I can’t.

Me       :           If so... leave me alone.

Time    :           Why should I do that? You need me, you can’t live and you are nothing without

                        me,,

Me       :           I know,, but I hate you. You made me lost my memories with him. I want it back..

Time    :           Stubborn girl..!! Can you just stop yelling me.. I told you for many times that it

was not my fault, it was yours ..

Just make me be your precious thing and do not give me that yell again.

Me       :           I want,, but I do hate you so much.. (I start to cry).

Time    :           Haahaaa.. you know, I like moment when you cry and regret about me..

                        That always makes me so proud and precious.

Me       :           You are so mean. ,, But …… I do need you. (say slowly)

Time    :           oohh…. my little girl with so many candies in your head. So fanny you are.

At first you want me to leave you alone but then you said that you need me.

                        If you do not want to regret me anymore, just do not waste me for just the

rubbish things.

Me       :           How can you call my dreams as rubbish things? You always take the precious

moments of anybody. You do not understand anything. You do not have feeling..

you just….. a thing.

Time    :           you never learn anything, do you? I’m the thing, but I am the strongest in the

                        World.

Me       :           You are.. and I still hate you for my reason. I always want do the best in anytime

for my future. However, still I doubt myself,. What is wrong with me?

Time    :           You need more struggles and prayers. Nobody use me maximally, anyway..

Me       :           Can I ask your help?

Time    :           I want help you,, but I can’t…

Me       :           ……. (crying…)

YOGYAKARTA Now is Different with the Past

Yogyakarta is the name of one city in Indonesia which is still included in Java Island. It is famous as ‘City of the student’ and also known as ‘city of culture’ because it has so many cultures which are traditional and famous in Indonesia or even in other countries. However, Yogyakarta nowadays is different with Yogyakarta in the past, for example, when we talk about Malioboro as one of tourism object in Yogyakarta. This place is clean, surrounding with many trees, there is still many ‘Delman’ or ‘Andong’ as the transportation of Yogyakarta’s people in majority at the past.

Different with Malioboro in presents, it is very dirty with so many trashes, the trees is almost gone where the buildings are more and more dominant. The vehicles are always being the usual panorama when you visit Malioboro at this time, and you must to be careful when you want to cross the street. Now, andong or delman are just the device to attract the tourist to take a look around Maloboro area. In that place, there are also many vendors beside the road which offer their wares such as, ring, clothes from ‘batik’, sculptures, foods, bracelet, shoes, and many others thing. However when you want to buy those things, you must thrust in walk with other visitors and take your wallet carefully.

Though Malioboro is different from time to time, but it is depends on people who thinks that the changes might be better or not, since Malioboro still being the place for many people from Yogyakarta or other place to get money for live.

I think Malioboro is just one riches of Yogyakarta which very popular as a tourism objects while it still has many other places as tourism object, and especially for attract tourists with so many kind of culture, the kindness of the people, and the panoramas.
