Pregnancy: 28 Week Update

Almost 29 weeks! I'm already in my third trimester now and pregnancy is getting more difficult for me, especially coping with the ever-growing tummy! It's so difficult to sit still for more than 1 hour! But baby's been healthy and active (I can really feel him swimming now!), so that's a good sign. Several days ago I took the flu vaccination (was told by the doctor that it's ok to take), but...

Salmon and Leek Parcel

Salmon and leek parcel is one of my favourite 'luxury' and comfort food. Why I call it luxury food? Because it looks very sophisticated and the ingredients are expensive. Well, in reality, not really, except the salmon meat. Usually I got my salmon and leek parcel from the supermarket when Woolworths have half price.

She said the one that I first saw wasn't for frying and showed me another variant that was suitable. I only...

Autumn Foliage at Mount Wilson

At the end of April (24th April to be exact), we went for a day-travel to Mount Wilson, a popular destination to see the autumn foliage. It takes around 1.5-2 hours to reach Mount Wilson by car from Sydney. We were quite rushed when we were there because we left Sydney quite late around 11.20 am (blame husband who ruins almost any trip and made me rush at the end although I've blocked his calendar...

My Sunday 01.05.2016

Cuma pengen bikin random post saja - mendokumentasikan kegiatanku hari ini, yaitu masak-masak! Setiap hari Minggu memang aku agendakan untuk belanja mingguan (kalau hari Sabtu tidak memungkinkan) dan mempersiapkan bumbu masakan untuk digunakan di minggu depan. Walaupun sekarang banyak argumentasi bahwa memasak bukanlah kewajiban istri, melainkan kewajiban suami sebagai 'pemberi nafkah', aku masih...
