Barby’s

Never Ever overeat when it has been a long time since u went food marathon.
Never Ever go exercising without cleaning your system, because having constipation and dragging a pouch of dump at your hindney just ain’t right…

Went to the new mall yesterday and spent a good Solid 6 hours in the super big mall in Malang! I finally got GIANT IN MALANG!! kakkaa! As mad as it may sound to you why am i so happy having Giant in my precinct is because GIANT can be so THERAPEUTIC!! It makes me (and a couple of my friends) feel as if we were 2.5km closer to HOME!! Llalala… no pictures take of the mall but on my 2nd trip k… cos i was so ZOMG at the place that i needed to soak in the whole thing, i’m loving it

On the other hand today i’m going to talk about BARBY’s bakery*donut. You all know it or not? KAkaka obviously not!

I show u what is so great about this bakery that you want to go to Chandra, Holland Bakery, or Bee’s, King’s Confectionery … and what so ever bakery!

:: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow N Forever::

Definitely for me! Although pricey but it is not as outrageous pricey as holland bakery! This the bread and donuts there got me hook… made me stand there with my eyes all wide open and mouth slightly agape *salivating* looking at those ‘oooh-eat-me-buns’.

:: Supreme Pizza::

Cost Rp 11,500 really big piece! If you’re a person who fancies lot’s of tomato puree this is the one for you la
It’s half the size of a full pan pizze but thin layer, topping: ham, cheese. onions, lots of tomato puree.

:: BBQ Ham Cheese :: *****

I absolutely love this and it’s going to be in my frequent list la when ever i drop by
Rp 9k Toppings: one whole layer of ham beneath all the sauce and cheese and egg! love the Egg!

:: World Peace::

I tell you when i first saw this… i so wanted a bite of it on the spot if only i weren’t so full! It was shining like an angel from the tray! Rp 8 500 So yeah i took a bite before taking a shot… and oh did i feel the RICH cheese and tiramisu cream, it felt as if the world was a better place!

After eating all this within an hour, got me thinking where was this bakery originated from… How come Sweet home Malaysia does not have this??! When are they going to have this? Malaysia nearly has everything, this one also must have wei!!!

::behold… Originated from Australia::

…. and now INDONESIA wei!! Don’t play play!! ONLY IN 2 Countries!! BEAT THAT!!! Now no one can laugh edi, Indonesia have something Russia don’t have.. hmmph!! And when i say this is oohlallala.. it’s a definite! So RAgingRach and Yana you two cannot laugh laugh and make fun anymore =P I bet not all places in Aussie have also and i think Malang is the First one to have BARBY’s Donuts*Bakery.

I’m so happy that i can go shit now.

Cries&Tongues

Your friend cries.

What do you do? Do you:

a) Sit; but not too closely, don’t look at the crying person in the eye and pat them on the shoulder, trying your best not to touch them too much.

b) Tell them: “Don’t cry.”

c) Give them a shoulder to cry on; even if you’re wearing a $200 shirt/top/dress.

d) Sit really quietly with them and hear them cry, not touching them at all.

e) Tell them what you think they want to hear and reassure them.
No, really. What would you do?

In response to what ragingrach wrote(above), this is my 500 rupiah worth:

Your friend is already crying, telling them don’t cry is rather stupid because he/she already reach the edge of emotions that tears are streaming down their face that telling them not to cry is like another ‘DuhhH’ conversation, such as: ” eh you cut your hair!”, when obviously the hair is cut. So saying that isn’t very helpful.

A touch or a hug is no where or no how better. I know some people can’t take that because pool of more tears will fall from their face! So is better to touch them not so much, or not at all.

What i will do is, I’ll offer my dear friend lots of kleenex, sit quietly with them and try not to touch them at all ( some people just can’t resist the urge of giving a pat or a reassuring hug to the person who is crying), listen to them cry, take a long walk with them, when the breathing sounds a little better i’ll them what i think and try to reassure them. Most of the time crying friend can’t talk at all, so typing text messages to communicate is the best.

The act of crying is like torrent from the river, it will not cease until the river has run dry. Long walks gives them time to think through what they feel and get them to stabilize themselves. Although the hugs and touches means well… but to the crier it feels more of a self-pity. Sitting with them when they cry and saying nothing is reassuring enough to let them know you care and want to tell them something. Don’t try to talk to them when they are still sobbing, forgodsake(!) they can’t breathe properly when in tears, so let them cool down first.

I’ve been there, seen that and done that.
