(Unnecessary) Announcement

Attention to all of you, happy people. I have an announcement to make.

It's not a very important one. But still, it's my blog, though :D

Let me make everything clear before I'm getting into another movie review. I just wanna say that if you're looking for a complete synopsis of a movie, I'm not giving them.

I really love watching movies. And I believe, there's nothing fun about reading synopsis without watching the movie itself. I also hate those spoilers telling you how the ending of a movie.

So, if I wrote a review and you're interested, I suggest you to watch it instead of searching for full synopsis or even a trailer. Why shouldn't you watch trailer? As for me, to be surprised by what you get when you watch a movie without having any sneak peek is really fun! You should try it.

And this will also applied for other reviews, like book or music.
Ciao!

DIY: Bread Pudding

I'm so proud of myself to be very productive this time!

Finally, I can make something edible other than any variation of instant noodle :')

 

So, last week, I successfully motivate myself to make a food without instant noodle (this is a history for me). My mom asked me to buy a bag of sliced bread and until a night before the expiration date, we still have about 6 slices. I felt responsible to do something with the bread because I'm the one who bought it. And then, A thought about bread pudding suddenly came to my mind even though I never really taste one (or even see one) before. All I know is that I heard it's easy to make. So, I googled it.

 I found some recipes of bread pudding, and I can tell you that basically this dessert is really easy to make!

I'm gonna tell how I did this preparedless-pudding-project.

Here's the ingredients you need:

1. 5 slices of bread

2. 350ml of milk

3. 2 eggs (or 3 small eggs)

4.   50gr of butter (melted)

5. 5 tablespoon of sugar

6.  a pinch of vanilla powder

7. your own extra ingredients (I use some bananas and oreo)

You also need to prepare a medium-size baking pan and an oven/steamer.

Here's how to do it:

1. Boil the milk and sugar with small/medium heat until the sugar melted (you might need to keep stirring)

2. Melt the butter

3. Stir the eggs

4. After the sugar melted, put the bread into the milk and stir it up until the bread is mushed. Leave it for a few minutes.

5. Pour the butter, eggs, and vanilla powder into the bread dough and mix it up.

6. Spread a few butter inside the pan to avoid the pudding to stuck in the pan. 

7. I spread some oreo crumble into the pan to be the topping

8. Pour half of the dough into the pan, and then I put banana slices on top of it.

9. Pour the rest of the dough.

10. Bake/steam it for about 25 minutes. I use traditional steamer, so I don't know how high the heat you need to bake it in an oven.

You can check if the pudding is done with a toothpick. If it's not sticky, then it's done.

It's better served cool.

 So here's what an ideal bread pudding looks like:

   And here's my own made Oreo Bread Pudding with Banana!

My Own Version of Bread Pudding!

 Hahaha it's faaar far away from perfect, I know. But still, I'm so proud of myself to make this dish.

 I recommend you to try it! (Especially for you who never took a step into the kitchen before) It was really fun.

 Tell me if you made one and show me a picture of your creation! :)

Movie Review: This is 40

I always wondering how life in 40 would be like. "This is 40" kinda give the 'right' image

I'm 22, and This Is 40

"A look at the lives of Pete and Debbie a few years after the events of Knocked Up."

 Director & Writer : Judd Apatow

Stars : Paul Rudd & Leslie Mann

Current IMDB Rating : 6.3

This is actually a sequel of the movie "Knocked Up" but I watched it anyway without watching the earlier movie. The reason why I interested to watch this movie is because of Paul Rudd. Always love those sparklingly clear eyes of him and his funny act. I still remember his good act with Jennifer Aniston in Wanderlust.

So, the movie tell us about the family of Pete and Debbie with two daughters, Sadie and Charlotte. Pete owns a record label which is having a rough business time, just like the clothing store Debbie owns. With all the drama about money, parents, children, and friends, This is 40 is not a movie about a happy family life.

In my opinion, This is 40 is simply too long. You know what's the risk of a long movie? Boring. Lot's of problems to solve made this movie need about two hours to finish. This is crucial. There are some movies which successfully kept the viewers interested the whole long time, but I gotta tell you that this movie isn't one of them. There are some times that I really want this movie to end, although I also find some part of the movie where I want to know more about what's happening.

But I have to admit that you can get lots of life lessons from the couple.
First, don't lie to your partner. If you find it necessary to lie to your partner about something, make sure everything is locked up.

Second, don't you ever think to give your children every Apple product they ask. Really, a kid whose having iPod, iPad, iPhone, and Macbook at the same time is rarely become a sweet and smart kid.

I also like how this movie show us the drama about Pete and Debbie's parents. Pete's dad whose having a 10 years old triplet without a paycheck, and Debbie's dad whose trying to get back into his daughter's life after a looong time of no communication. It makes me think of how my relation with my parents would be like in the future.

 I agree with the rating from IMDB viewers. This movie worth about 6.5/10 to watch.
