Hi!! How r u all?

Almost a year since my last post. Time flies so fast.
What I did in the past year is basically living my life trying to earn big for the future.

I am currently in progress of making my own cafe. My own patisserie. Everything is still a bit messy now but hopefully it will turn out good in the end, in time.

I am currently engaged too to my boyfriend, after 3 years in a relationship. Hahaha... We will have our official family engagement in May and will get married on January 2017. Fiuhh... one step ahead in life.

Then, what else? Ah, we are also in the making of our dream house.

A lot of money we speak here. I know... I hope everything turns out well, I hope my business will be going well in the future so I can pay back the money I spend.

Living in Indonesia is a bit uncomfortable for me.

Maybe because when I get used to clean environment.

Here, first is so HOTTT!!! It's so damn hot! I am sure that it doesn't used to be this HOT before. Maybe global warming is indeed exist.

Secondly, people here are slow. They don't work fast like in Australia, sometimes I can't stand them watching how they walk, how they move, how they do something and how they work.

Thirdly, nothing in Indonesia is pure. You need to have your connections here, you have to have inside people if you want your problems done quick. When I think about it, when I think of a new leader who works honestly... I agree that this is a good start for this country to become something. But I don't think citizen are ready yet. Why? Because like what I said, most of Indonesian are working slow. They don't work effectively and efficiently. For example, when you apply for a new passport or driving license, the normal process can take 2-3 weeks even 4 weeks. But when you have inside people, you can get it in 1 day or 3 days. So let say we apply this honest process work, get rid all of the inside people, can you imagine how long the queue is for everything? And how long will you get your needed document? This is what get me thinking that I am actually not ready for a life like this. Sighh... but I have no choice for now.

Sometimes, I deeply regret that I decided to go back for good. I should stay in Melbourne longer and try to make business there. Market is definitely bigger there compared to my hometown. Well, lets work hard for now and I still hope that I will go back there for good one day.

Ciao and wish me luck!

Hello... How r u people? Hope you all do great.

It's been way too long since I blogged last time.
Days by days were quite busy. I almost baked everyday. If you were thinking that my business is going so great and popular that I need to bake everyday every time... NO, you are wrong. It doesn't always mean like that.

Macaron business is doing OK for now. Not like nothing at all but not THAT popular... yet. I wish *fingercross

Besides, I was busy traveling too. hahaha... Yes, I just went to Korea last month with friends in a tour. It was super fun, super exciting. Korean food was yummy, korean people were great and Korea itself... it's pretty. I don't mind going back there for the second, third or fourth time. A lot of things to be explored there and a lot of food you need to eat.

Anyway, right now I am thinking what I should do next for my business. How to make it grow? How to make it bigger and more popular? How to gain more market? Hence, I am thinking to move to another city, bigger city... but it's all just in mind and heart now. Nothing confirmed yet, especially the permission from my parents. Hope they agree... *fingercrossagain

Secondly, I made another macaron boxes which is prettier than before. I wish this can bring up the name and attract more people. If you want to see more about my macarons, you can visit its Instagram page (ID: cappellomacaron) or its Facebook page.

'til next time then :)

It's been a while again. I've been so so so busy lately.
I feel it's been a long time since I am this busy, even my boyfriend admit that.
It's weird seeing me so busy T-T

Anyway, I've been trying to open my own business.. small one of course... online of course as I haven't got enough money to open a shop/cafe. Even though I wish someday I will be able to... Amin!
Well, it's a macaron shop. Why do I decide to make macarons not other sweet stuffs? Cos I think there is not much good macarons in Indo. It's not that I am that 100% confident that mine is perfect and taste heavenly but I am trying to offer the good one :)

I have made it for a week and it's getting better and better. Still not as perfect as the one in Melbourne but okayyy lahhhh..... Remember last time I was frustrated because my mom's oven is so small and unstable? Eh, did I post about it before or not yet? Oh well, anyway.. yes, my mom's even is a bit moody and made me suffered in the 1st week. I did a lot of trial and error and everything was just not right. But finally I get it, now I can do it perfectly with that small oven. hehehe...

Yes, I am planning to buy an oven. Gas oven. I know electric oven is more stable and the results is smoother. But in Indonesia, where electricity is so so expensive (considered by Indonesian) and where the electricity itself is unstable, it makes the temperature goes up and down whatever it likes (you actually need stabilizer for this), so my mom and I decided to use gas oven instead. The gas oven itself is cheaper. Wow! So gas it is!

Wish me luck and hope everything will run smoothly! Ciao!

how pretty it is!

Hi hi...
Can't believe it's September... it's been a while indeed since my last post.
Nothing much happened but I am here in Indonesia for good, my hometown to be exact.
A small but peaceful city called Solo. lol!

I am currently trying to adapt with the new life, new people and new environment.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to you why I need to adapt with my hometown as I was born and grew up here. But trust me, it matters!

For example, I get no more freedom by living with your parents. Second and third and fourth and etc, the citizen, the place, the weather, the goods in supermarket, oh no...!

Anw, enough with the complaints. I am trying to open something here based on my passion.
The big issue is I am a bit dilemma whether I should go to Jakarta and work in the big companies, living surrounded with my bf and best friends or opening my small business in this city. While I haven't got any job, I am trying to realize what I have in mind... which is baking. A lot of trying here, baking in a new country with this humid weather is torturing.

What I have mastered in Melbourne is all now gone. I need to start new from a scratch. I need to understand and get to know with Indonesia's ingredients (I can't even find an exact same egg and castor sugar here). The feeling when you baked something and it turns out to be disaster is torturing. Oh God, help me!

So, yes! This is what I've been struggling of. I tried to bake and make what I make turned out perfectly with the new ingredients. It's a disaster I must say. It's just exploring new things from the very beginning again. You play with the recipe, the ingredients, the weather and a lot lot lot of research again. Arghhh! So frustrating.

But, I know I won't give up until I really find and make the perfect one and finally succeed.
Wish me all the best so I can start my own dream very soon :)
Ciao!
