Dear cheerio,

Today is photo dumb dump day! Okay let’s see what we’ve got.

Yesterday I kept talking with my little cousin. He was adorable, but annoying most of the times. However I got why he was causing troubles and making people felt agitated, he just wanted make friends. To add it, he was pretty gullible so it was easy to scare him up a lil with made up ghost stories. He kept asking me to play Among Us and other games with him. While I was busy replying to him, I burnt my veggie fritters damn :c

My sister and I went to Buddhist temple—which I used to go every Sunday but I stopped cause I’m lazy and I feel guilty as I’m writing this. I love you Buddha, I still do, and your teaching too. I just have social anxiety because there were lots of people who somehow related to me. My mom’s friends, my schoolmates, my uncle’s wife’s relatives, my cousin’s friends, my grandma’s brother’s children, etc. Living in this city is hell, because the Chinese community was so small, that ALMOST every Chinese-Indonesian I met MUST BE somebody’s someone’s whoever.

I’d rather go to temple with strangers like I did in Singapore—which was fun because no youngsters, just old grammy, pop pop, mothers and kids.

So we did the Covid-19 Vaccination which didn’t hurt at all—contrary to what people had said. Spent 6 hours cause there were lots lots lots of humans.

When I used to go here, all of these weren’t painted. Lots of construction here and there, the walls were grey, and I could see the iron things on top of the roof? Now? Whoa, look at that. I couldn’t take pics with people on it cause of the rules. Yo, the floor were marble and they were shiny like bald head. See those chandeliers? Yeah, baby

All viharas I’ve went through had relics on it, and painted in weird colors(?), probably bcs most of them were built decades ago. That was why I liked church better because of the aesthetics. I MEANT THE DESIGN, I’M STILL A BUDDHIST I SWEAR.

But this? Feels like a grand ballroom. Omg bye sneaking-to-church-with-my-catholic-friends.

Krema Koffie. I ordered her Caramel Macchiato (she said it wasn’t sweet). Got these salted caramel cupcake and basque cheesecake which were “popular”. They were from Caesari Kitchen. Why the connotation marks?

Bleh. Failed my expectation greatly.

Salted Caramel Cupcake (7/10)~ Cream was dope, too sweet for my liking, cake was dry, cornflakes were hard. The cream saved the day tbh

Basque Cheesecake (3/10)~ Creamy, but TASTE FUCKING EGGY. Damn I could smell the egg from thousand miles away. “Eneg”. I couldn’t finish the thing, so she helped me (even though she disliked it). She said my new york cheesecake was way better. I’m an avid fan of cheesecake and I don’t discriminate them—japanese, new york, burnt, whatever others. But this one? One of the worst.

The instagram shop was famous so I figured out to try the most wanted menu. Last year I tried the raspberry cake and it was AMAZING. These ones? Tasted meh and overpriced af.

This went a bit viral, so I decided to try it out. It’s brownies but with white chocolate and added with matcha powder. Tasted more like cake than a brownie? Overall I fancied it, but probably need to change the name to matcha cake.

I tried to do the Japanese thing with the wrapper (cause a lot of japanese home café used these aesthetics). HAHAHHA IT LOOKED LIKE POCONG (A TYPE OF GHOST) INSTEAD. Yo, you can give me clothes, and I can style you. You can give me pen, paper, watercolor, pencil colors, anything, then I could do something with it. I used to feel like I was an art kinda person. BUT DECORATING/PLATING A DISH? I suck ngl

THEY’RE SO PRETTY I MIGHT GONNA CRY?? THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST I’VE MADE WITH BREAD. I cut them manually with serrated knife, they looked almost like the factory produced?? Almost identical, but healthier cause I didn’t use those chemical agents whatever shit they put inside ingredient list.

APPRECIATE IT!!!!! OMG ITS SO MESMERIZING. Before I cut them, it was a long block of bread which had evenly browned sides and perfect squared block. There weren’t big holes on the toast.

I might be a milk toast master HAHAHAH keep dreaming, bud.

Bye i’m tired I got a cake order tomorrow Zz

Sincerely,

C
