Challenge: Spicy Food

Who loves spicy food? I do I do I do
I loooove spicy food. I am pretty proud with my spicy food endurance level. Most Asians have a better endurance level. However, my husband who is half Asian and half white has weak endurance level against spicy food. 

So I have been force feeding him with spicy food little by little to increase his endurance level. I am proud to say he is a lot better than he used to be. 

Once in a while, I would challenge myself to a new spicy dish. Either Ramen with various level of spiciness, cassava chips from certain brand that also comes in levels, fire ramyeon, etc.

Fire Ramyeon

cup Fire Ramyeon

Our recent challenge was Fire Ramyeon from Korea. There are 2 types of packages; cup and the usual one. The cup one is slightly spicier than the usual one. So make sure to try the cup one if you wanna see how much you can endure the spiciness. 

I am sorry for the bad quality of our video. I am not a professional vlogger. I put this on video so my friends can see it, especially my co-workers who have asked me to do this.

Nasi Goreng Mafia

Our second challenge was spicy Nasi Goreng Mafia's food. I ordered Nasgor Berandal level 1 for him and Nasgor Preman level 2 for me. This time I didn't take video of it. As none has requested yet. 

In total, Nasi Goreng Mafia has 5 different level of spiciness from level 1 the least spicy to level 5 the most spicy.

Nasi Goreng Mafia's Menu

Nasgor Berandal Level 1

 After trying a few spoons of this nasi goreng, husband had to run to nearby store to buy yoghurt and milk. As you know dairy product is the best one to soothe down the burnt from spicy food. When he got back, he brought 3 yoghurts and pack of cheese (fake cheese that he usually hates but he said it is crucial for this fight). 

Getting ready with 3 bottles of yoghurt

 To my amusement, he kept continue eating the nasi goreng until half of the portion. I thought he already gave up after the first couple of bites. I have counted every bite of nasi goreng, he would jug a couple swallow of yoghurt. He seems suffering from all the burnt. 

A gift for all his effort

To celebrate his own achievement on eating spicy food. He made himself egg sandwich with fake cheese, mayonnaise, and mustard. He ate it all with the remaining yoghurts. 

On a side note, Nasi Goreng Mafia is pretty spicy even if it was just level 1 or 2. I could not imagine those who would eat level 4 or 5. I have tried only until level 3. 

Tell us what should we try next for our next challenge?

Silly Hubby Part 1

Learning Bahasa Indonesia is not always easy for him. Despite him being half Indonesian, he is not that fluent speaking Bahasa Indonesia.

We have been dating for 2 years and then married for 6 months now. There are a lot of funny 'accidents' when it comes to his pronunciation or understanding of Bahasa Indonesia's vocabulary. It is quite amusing sometimes. So, I would like to share some of things that he said.

Btw, I made this cartoon strip from a website called Pixton: www.pixton.com in case anyone wants to try creating their own funny or sad story.

1. Darah vs Daerah

This is our recent conversation. He thought that darah (blood) is daerah (area). He said he likes to stay in Benhil's blood. What he meant to say was that he likes to stay in Benhil area.

 2. Kedelai vs Keledai

We got soybean milk (susu kedelai) from my mother. He mistaken the word 'keledai' that means donkey as 'kedelai'.

 3. Balado vs Manado

I will be updating more stories like this later. Enjoy! ^_^

Married Life: 10 Things Wife Has To Get Used To

I have posted an article about Married Life: 10 Things My Husband Has To Get Used To and now it is time for my turn.

1. Sock Monster

    I just did packing our suitcase for our trip to South Korea. I asked him how many socks he wants me to put on the suitcase. He said one for each day. Who would change socks one or twice a day? That is insane. I would wear the same socks for at least a week (I am not gross, right!?). So, imagine how many socks he has? Yes, a pile of them. He really is the Sock Monster.

2. The Farting Guy

    I might be the farting girl. But I always believe (self claimed) that my fart doesn't smell bad. His fart, on the other hand, has the ability to kill weaker living being like plants. lol. Anyway, we are no longer a shy fart-er.

3. Budgeting

    I used to do budgeting for my monthly allowance too, ever since I was in college. But married couple budgeting is a whole lot different. There is electricity, water, maintenance, apartment rent fee, allowance for hobby, green card fee, honeymoon fee, both of our tax, etc. This is not fun.

4. Mysterious Noise at Night

    Once upon a time, I heard weird noise at night. Krrrrr Krrrr groook grooook. It woke me up from my sleep. Turned out it was my peacefully sleeping hubby snoring away. Originally he doesn't snore. However, after I massively force feeding him with love (uugh so cheesy hehehe), he has gained weight. It is probably affecting his breathing problem now that he has belly. Maybe this is not healthy. Should watch our diet from now on (if I can).

5. Smelly Cheese

    I hate dairy products and most of my friends/families know this. I don't like the smell of milk, yoghurt, cheese, cream, etc. It is a curse really. Now that I am married to half 'bule' guy who loves cheese. It is unavoidable to have cheese on our fridge. Baking soda kinda help with the smell on the fridge. But it is different case when the Mister decided to nom on his cheese. Usually, I will sit at least 1 meter away from him (his cheese).

6. Whereabout Report

     I really don't mind this. It shows that he actually care when he asked me where I was. The part that I love being married to this guy is that I get to have normal social life. I still go out with my girls till late at night (10pm is my curfew, I am a girl next door). I get to join Meetup's hangout, Couchsurfing's gathering, and other fun events with random people over the internet. He doesn't mind me doing all of this as long as I update him on my whereabout or on what kind of event.

7. Weird Bahasa Indonesia

    He has been learning Bahasa Indonesia for quite some time (I would not say diligently tho). There has been several funny cases when he said the wrong things. I always had a good laugh and would posted it on Path or FB. Sharing is caring right!?

Example:
He mistook 'susu kedelai' (soy milk) as 'susu keledai' (donkey milk). Pretty far huh? lol

8. Ugly T-shirt

    I am not talking about t-shirt with famous rock stars or jersey sport outfit. This is like really really old t-shirt that has changed color. I have thrown away some of it. Wonder why he keeps it. He said it was not for emotional value. He was just too lazy to buy new clothes. Now that he has a wife to buy him clothes (whose also has better fashion sense than him), he doesn't mind if I throw away or give away some of his rugged t-shirts.

9. Clumsy Hubby

    He is not so clumsy. But our place is too small for him and he rarely pay attention to smaller things or to things that was not on his range of vision. So many times, he accidentally kicked a water bottle, entangled his feet on cable, dropped something from the small table. Worse case scenario was when he accidentally kicked the pointy side of the bed on his way to the toilet one night.

10. Overly Initiative Husband

      He is super sweet. But sometimes, he would take initiative on things that was not necessary. I found it cute tho. Like one time, I was sick and I asked him to buy some foods and medicine. He thought buying a flower will make me feel better. So he bought a single red rose and bite the stem to make it look like a cheesy filmy move. It looks really silly with plastic full of foods and medicine on both hand and rose on his lips.

He wants to look like this.

His action was well appreciated of course. Hihihi

Married Life: 10 Things My Husband Has To Get Used To

Married life was not always pretty. Married life was not always full of fights or loves. It has much more than that. It is more complex than computer software. What do I know? I just get married like 2 months ago.

But let me share our married life stories (with censor, obviously!)

It has been 2 months, we are married couple now. There are things that we already know since we were dating (for 2 and a half years). But there are still a lot more other things that we didn't know before that.

On this post, I will share about things that my husband has to get used to since he decided to marry me.

1. Farting

    We have been dating for more than 2 years, but I managed to hold my fart. So I was never found farting in front of him. The first week of us getting married, we celebrated by having farting competition. As the farting girl that I am, I won the competition and got the title 'The Farting Girl'.

2. Hairs on the floor

    It might comes as a shock but living with woman means you need to get used to seeing hairs on the floor. Yup, our hair has the ability to unattached it self from the scalp. It will clogged the shower drain, it will be on the bed, or on the floor. You will find it more before or during period and stressful time. 

3. Closet War

    Simple really, woman has more clothes than man. The war of the closet zone was divided fairly. By fair, I mean he got 1/8 of the area which is one single section while I got 4 other single sections and the hanger area and drawers too. Fair enough!

4. Make up Disaster

   It is normal to find vanity mirror full of make up/cosmetics. Nope, that pencil is not for you to write, it is for me to draw my eyebrow and I will not leave the house with my eyebrow drew nicely.

Man: Can I borrow your pencil? (holding something in hand)

Woman: (saw his hand) Aaaaaak No!!! That is not pencil. That is my eyebrow pencil!!!

5. Underwear Festivity

    Ever wonder why I hanged so many undies after washing it? Dear, there is never too many underwear. Given the situation that we bleed once a month for a whole week and it was advised to change underwear twice a day.

2 bags full of underwear (Panties and Bras)

6. Water Resistance

    I don't like wasting water on weekend. So, my husband has to deal with the fact that I might shower only once a day and I would do it later on the evening, unless I have other occasion to go to.

7. The Time of The Month

   Recently, my husband trying to cope up with a screaming wife due to her excruciating pain during PMS. He is always panicked every time the menstrual cramp come knocking. He has been googling lots of information on how to ease up the pain or what to do to make it go away. He has lots of curiosity about how exactly it works. At one point, I have been lecturing him on the subject. He is so supporting. He doesn't mind going to the store to buy pain reliever, menstrual pad, and other female related needs. 

8. Durian Smells

    I love Durian. I ate a lot of durian since I was little. It is good that he likes durian. Otherwise, deal with it. I will eat durian as often as I want.

This is Love.

9. Sleeping Zone

    Fortunately, I sleep like a princess. Not too much unnecessary movement. But I have a tendency to kick-boxing anyone who tried to hug/cuddle me during sleep. (Ooops sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you this morning.)

10. Drama

      Had a fight with mom? Expect drama!

      Had period or PMS? Expect drama!

      Feeling like shopping but no money? Expect drama!

      My fav guy got killed on the movie/series? Expect drama!

And that is why I love my husband for being able to get used to and stand by me despite all that.

Will update the post with Married Life: 10 Things I Have To Get Used To later. 

See ya,

Suci
