Street Food Time :)

Some people think I am thin. Some usually get surprised when they finally know I eat a lot. Yeah, I really enjoy eating. To me, there is no favorite food. All I know is only "favorite foods" because I have a long list of food I like to eat. And one of my best time killers is: SNAAAACK!!!

I love snacking. In my room or on the table in my office you will find snacks. I rarely pass the day without snacks, except when I am fasting. I think I get this habit from my family. In my house, no day passed without snacks served on the table. Across the sea, I carried out this habit with me :)

May be since I was in elementary school, I have fallen in love with street snacks. Now after years, I still love them. Here are some of street art I have captured unintentionally.

Me, My Father, and a Cup of Coffee

I love coffee, more and more if it is black and hot. Well, I can say I don't really like "kopi banci" sold in most franchise coffee shop. I prefer to brew my coffee in a simple "kopi tubruk" way, the way most Malayans do to drink it. Sometimes I also like another way of brewing coffee like with Vietnam drip or French press, but it is such a rare moment for me to drink it because I have to go to coffee shop that costs much.

I don't really sure how I get the fondness for coffee. May be it derives from my father. He is such a kopi tubruk addict. When I was a kid and used to live with my parents, I counted how many times he drank it. I got 3 times: in the morning before he left for his school -my father is a teacher and soon to be retired-, in the afternoon when he had been home and got lunch, and in the evening after he prayed. Now as I am growing up, I realize that the number probably bigger since he also drinks coffee at school in I-do-not-know number of glass -he drinks cofee in glass, not a cup-.

My New Collection

If you are asking me what my favorite animal I is, I will shout loudly: "Caaaat...". Yup, I love cat, especially kitten. I used to keep a cat or cats in my house when I was a kid. Actually only me and my dad that love cat. My mom always get disturbed when there is a cat around her. I think the neutral party is my sisters, they are about so so to that kind of animal.

It was around my time in elementary school when suddenly I fell in love to cat, but in a different world. I remember the first I saw it is in an eraser I bought. A picture of Hello Kitty in yellow background. Since then, I love that kitten.

Welcome :)

Heyhoo, selamat pagi dunia...
Yeah, it's officially my first time posting in a blog. Actually I have made this blog for about a year but it seems  so hard for me to show up my activity in my blog.
Well, fyi, my name is Fitria Nur Syamsiah. You can call me simply "Fitri" with no "mbak" or "teh". I was born in a little village in Lampung Province, Indonesia. I grew up there until I decided to continue my study in one of senior high schools in Bandarlampung, the capital city of Lampung Province. That was my first time living far from my family because I had to live in a boarding house.
I went to Universitas Indonesia five years ago to continue my study. I entered to communications department with Media Studies as my study program. I graduated in September 2012 an now I am working at an NGO in Indonesia, specializing in CSR partnership. Although this job is not really suitable for my background, but I am happy because I can have much time to help society indirectly.
I have so many interests, ranging from girly stuff like making brooch and cooking, until some serious passions like research and discussions. My concerns are vary from women and children issues, family issues, Islamic thoughts, and conflict issues. This makes me think that I am a random person who can not focus in a distinctive issue or goal.
Well, that's me. And here is a picture of me :)
