Colatta versi 2

my art
kenapa judulnya Collata versi 2? karena ini adalah pengolahan coklat colatta yang kedua kali yang aku lakukan… pada pembuatan versi pertama aku hanya membuat lingkaran coklat yang ditaburkan chaky-rice & nestle-honey-star…. sedangkan yang kedua ini, aku menggunakan cetakan yang biasa disebut praline…. versi 2 ini, aku menggunakan 1 blok potongan colatta dengan 2 praline ukuran kecil dan 1 praline ukuran besar… dan masih sisa, aku buat lingkaran-lingkaran lagih kaya versi pertama…..
untuk menjaga keaslian bentuk dalam paparan ini.. maka coklatnya, aku minta tolong ama Abam untuk difoto pake Canon G7 kesayangannya..dengan macro-mode… jadi bagus kan hasilnya.. hehehhee

pembelian praline
sebenernya penggunaan praline sudah di advice teman-teman, tapi akunya males beli cetakan… dan males minjem soale ngk tau kapan mau mengolahnya.. hehehhee…. dan memang terbukti sih.. cetakan praline ini aku beli sekitar 2 minggu lalu dengan dianterin & ditemani Luluk sekitar 2 minggu di te-be-ka (baca : toko bahan kue) …  lama yah implementation timenya dari beli praline sampe jadi coklat .. hihihi…

Alhamdulillah, Debby sudah membuatkannya untuk kita semua….

Hari Anak Nasional

23 22 July .. selalu di peringati sebagai hari anak nasional…. dari kecil sampe dewasa sekarang, saya sendiri tidak pernah merasakan perbedaan dalam hari anak ini….
tentu saja lingkungan, gaya hidup antara saya dan anak saya jelas berbeda…. entah bagaimana dengan anda…

berikut hal-hal yang berbeda di jaman saya kecil & jaman anak sekarang : meja belajar, kalkulator, sekolah….
1. meja belajar
dulu saya tidak pernah punya meja belajar keren Olympic (disaat temen2 punya), meja belajar yg saya punya adalah meja belajar kayu jati yg menurut ayah saya lebih bagus….. buat saya saat itu, apa bagusnya.. warnya coklat gelap semua, cuma ada laci di bawah.. sedangkan meja olympic berwarna warni dan sampai ke atas…

cutting my dummy vegetables

we bought wood toys for Naisa weeks ago… it’s a cutting vegetables set… so naisa gets a knife, some vegetables and cutting board. she loves it very much…. we bought her because she likes to play it on Bobo Fair early this month….
but Naisa is Naisa…. she found another way to cut without using the knife…. that is use-your-both-hand…. ya ya ya… that’s our Naisa…

   now, she cuts it with whatever she wants to use… knife or hands…

Toddler & baby bedroom for Naysa & Uhung

Description & background:The project was done for 2.5 m x 2.75 m guest room. The wall base color is lily-white that seem cream to me We did the remodeling & ordered a white-simple-customize transitional bed as gift for our 2-years daughter Naysa. We do hope by having it, she’d like to sleepover in her own bedroom. It’s quite difficult to have both 2years daughter & 2months son in our 15m² bedroom heheheheheee…. 

Remodeling decision: strip decorative, border wallpaper & stickers

Furniture: Naysa’s new white-simple-customize transitional bed, Uhung’s new white baby box and Pooh’s  wall clock 

Summary:We turned the lily-white-color guest bedroom to be a cheerful children bedroom by repainting & remodeling it ‘n keeping the lily white color as the base color.When my right-brain made its imagination, it started with choosing mural as decorative paintings. Then my fingers, eyes n left-brain do their jobs.. we read some books, browsed the Internet… then I change my mind…..I chose strip as the method for balancing the-animal-border-wallpaper (bear, giraffe, tiger, monkey etc) and Pooh ‘n friends stikers above it. We ( I ‘n hubby) finally use family color of lily-white by tinting two different colors. So we got a dynamic & cheerful room but still in soft-tone to soften her mood. However, it is a children bedroom – room to sleepover not for playing. So bright temptation color should be avoided, right? Hehehe….Last, I found that doing painting is quiet simple as I thought, but having creative painting is more challenging and useful for my right-brain. So if I may suggest you – then I would say: get some days off, do re-decorative your walls yourself– you may get surprised to the satisfaction you’ll get – both in the room result & the partnership with your husband/wife! Tips : Start from the smallest room of course. Maybe un-prevalent room is better. 

Project upside-down:First, striped was chosen. I decide to use 5cm tapes. Hoping this strip-size is not too narrow for the-13cm-border above it. The-2.5cm tape is IDR 3500 and the-5cm is IDR 6500. For 2.5mx2.75m-room, we need approx 11-13 tapes for 5cm-tape or 22-24 tapes for 2.5cm-tape. Due to expensive tapes and adhere time consuming, it’s canceled.Then I chose sponging. But large-sponging cost IDR 150,000 in Mitra-10. Once again, the method was canceled. Then we picked ragging because the roll and its handle cost less than IDR 60,000 in Ace Hardware. The upper color was green to make color balance for the border-wallpaper ‘n to give soft calm effect as tree. We made green color by mixing white Vinilex and green-tinter-from ICI(bought in Mitra-10) . After applied in two-walls, painted was stopped ‘n dropped cause the result was far from what we imagine. It’s hard to applied due to roll can’t be used in non-flatted wall. It was the wall actually-not the roll  We also tried to have 5cm-green-strip which gave us smaller-size-room-perspective result. Doing ragging is quiet difficult also – we had to have the same steady power to rag it.This unsatisfactory result caused us to apply strip-decorative back. We repaint the wall with lily white for base color. The 5cm-stripe was too narrow for both border-wallpaper and room size so I decided to use 2.5cm-stripe. This time, we decide to use family color of lily white instead of green as used before. The family color is done by tinting two parts of white lily (brand Q-luc from Nipponpaint) and one part of jasmine (brand Q-luc from Nipponpaint). The result was perfect to me – both from strip perspective and color perspective. Then the stickers ‘n border-walpaper are adhered. Wall decoration is complete. The last things we done are put Naysa’s new bed ‘n Uhung’s new baby box in placed. Now, remodeling & redecoration is 100% completed. Wow! We did satisfy with the result. I believe you are agree with me……

Naysa & Uhung

Naysa is our first child – a daughter – was born on March 2005. She was 3,9 kilos weight and 53 cm height. My weight was started at 54 kilos and became 67 kilos… After 9 months – with persistent will – it became 47 kilos – successfully….. I can use size 6 again… my size when went to college…  You can imagine how happy I am…

Uhung is our second child – a son – was born last January 2007. He was 3,885 kilos weight and 48 cm tall. My weight was started at 48 kilos and became 62 kilos… Now, 2 months afterbirth, my weight is 50 kilos… so I just need to loose 2 kilos more.. I hope it can be reached in the next 5 months… it’s easier to become fat than thin, right?

Birth of 2nd Child

On Jan 07, we’ve just had a new comer — a baby boy called Uhung– who is loved by his sister – Naysa. She loves him so much — kissing him almost anytime she has — if she’s not busy playing , of course

I myself felt powerless, sad & upset ( ….. ‘coz my blood pressure & hemoglobin were dropped (what a combination).. I almost got unconscious twice that day… I still felt dizzy ’till few days afterbirth…  but now, i’m getting better ‘n better… lucky me to have loving care hubby… who’s also taking care our children at night — you know, diapers things
