Dear Diary

Continuing from yesterday's blog post.

First I would like to congratulate my little sister Olivia for gaining admission to Bina Bangsa School, her scores on the admission tests were above average, just as we expected.

Bina Bingsa is an international school located in Malang. When we had a talk about the results, the dean described Olivia's personality, both mom and me were thinking:  "Is this the same Olivia we know and love?.......". I have every bit of confidence in her that she will do well, wish her the best of luck getting lots of new friends, and I will force her to write a guest entry in my blog at a later date in which she will describe her experiences being on an international school in a foreign country.

Decided to work on my self confidence and therefore entered the same course as my sister at Color Models Inc on how to walk on the catwalk. This course is given by Agoeng Soedir Poetra who  has quite a big name in the Indonesian fashion scene.

                                          ~Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeese~

A lot of famous models come from his school, so perhaps one day my sister will also be a famous star. My feelings about the course were a bit mixed as I wasn't sure what to expect. Mom gave me some pointers before I went to my first class, and her feedback was on point. I walk like a zombie (Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains)! Seriously though my posture is in dire need of some revamping so I think by following this course is the first step in rehabilitation. Also we made some photographs at Anthony to be used as an entry photo for a modelling contest

My dear family was kind enough of making some video's so that I might use them for self improvement, and of course entertainment for the entire family. Ron was kind enough the leave the room after continuous laughter to the point his stomach started to hurt. He recreated the experience back at home

~Hahahahahahahahahahahha KELIRU!~

One of the more interesting foods we consumed this week was the jus sehat (healthy juice) and dried sea snails. First the jus sehat

The taste was described to me as nano-nano (which apparently means a compilation of different tastes). The color of the drink was purplish and really didn't look all that healthy. The reason for the coloring is probably the red cabbage that was mixed in the drink (can you even create drinks from red cabbages?). I am not sure whether I like the drink as it was a very very weird taste. For a taste experience I would recommend it as an experiment as it will only set you back around 10.000 RP, a better choice taste wise would be the sirsak which my sister ordered, which is cheaper and tastier.

When we visited the Lai-Lai supermarket, which is a supermarket which focuses on import items and really has all the things you as a Westerner could miss in Indonesia. Though the prices are also up there, saw honey on sale for around 30-40 euros which is more expensive than in Holland. One interesting thing Ron bought were dried sea snails, so when offered one how could I say no that that!

                                                     ~Perhaps a bit of salt........?~

While looking quite grotesque, the snail itself didn't taste bad really. If I closed my eyes I would have guessed I was eating fried shrimp crackers or something in that area. Though the price paid for it was kinda expensive (around 16.000 RP). While only a bit more than an euro its quite expensive as you only get a small amount of them.

That is it for today, hope to write again soon!
