Hymn of Death

 “Passionately, I listened to the curses put on my fate. She was the only safe haven in my life besieged by the devil”

-entry of Kim U-Jin’s journal November 26, 1921-

 

This is a normal love story until the guy invited the girl to his house for the first time. Excitedly, the girl wore a hat loved by the guy without knowing what will happen later. Later on, it was so heartbreaking to know that the guy was married and both, as being diligent people part their ways. They hoped it could be forgotten, feelings can be buried with time. There was no other way for them to be in a relationship as the guy was already married even though that was not his choice.

But, the moment they meet again, they realized, it was never over, feelings burst into flames that cannot be tamed. Sometimes, what you crave for is just a person next to you, a smile, time shared together. They decided to get that little happiness.

 

“Father, with a whirlwind in my heart, for the first time in my life, I chose to go against your will.”

-from ‘Leaving Home’ Kim U-Jin, June 21 1926-

 

                The guy’s life has been decided by his father from the start. Who will marry him, what he will be as if the father owns his life. When your life has been already decided from the very beginning and you were raised to be nothing but obedient, it’s difficult to break that wall that has been built around you. It’s suffocating, you can’t breathe.

While she didn’t have any easier either. She was the breadwinner of her entire family. Her father was sick so that duty has fallen on the young lady’s back. And family members instead of supporting her, they take her for granted. They expect more and more from her, wanting more and more from her, stripping her from every ounce of energy left in her. But after all she’s done, they betrayed her. No wonder she’s been tired, all she wanted was peace and quiet loving environment.

That lead to the decision with no point of return.

 

Night~

Sometimes...I have nights like this,

Nights where I'm lonely....and sad....

and I wonder why I was even born on this planet.

There are some nights where,

I think it'd be so nice to just disappear and erase the fact

that I was ever existed.

LOVE LETTER

Before I was born, I looked up at my mommy from up above the sky.
I thought mommy was the most beautiful person in the whole wide world,
so I asked God to please make me mommy's little baby...

This is my short story about the precious moment I shared with my mom. 

Writing those stories while reminiscing the good old times is my favourite thing.

When I was young, she used to washed my hair a lot,
I couldn't wash my hair very well by myself.
So I hold her while she washed my hair for me.
It was like I'm forever in her arms.

She always sang me a song while washing me,

And until this day I still can hear those songs playing in my mind.

When I'm far away, those songs were the only remedy to heal my longing for her.

And I loved her foods.

Even though she always busy with her works,

She never missed too cook for me.
When I got the food all over my face and the table, she'd wipe off my face so gently,
And then, she'd have me open my mouth so she could feed me.

Her cooking was the best in the world!

There was one time I lost sight of her in the supermarket.
There are many people I don't know surrounded me.
I remember how afraid I was during that time.
They're not what I'm looking.
They're not who I want.
Then she came like an angel to me.

She always worried that she had not give me enough things in this world,

Little did she know, she already gave me her whole life...

Every little thing in the world reminds me of her,

In the flowers on the side of the road,

In the sweet song playing at the street corner,

In the blazing piles of thunder-head clouds in the sky,

In the spring that plays with the soft hair,

No matter where I go,

You'll always be right here with me, mom

I love you.

There are 5 billion people on this planet, and she is the perfect mom for me. 

What are the odds for that?

I'm so glad that you're my mom, umi.

Result of My Cooking Experiment #omelette

An omelette is a perfect dish to be eaten for breakfast. Making an omelette is so simple and can be ready in minutes. It is also the perfect protein-packed vehicle for all kinds of ingredients, for a power breakfast. The crucial ingredient for making an omelette is eggs and the step for making it was so easy. Just whisk some eggs, cook them in a non-stick sauté pan that coated with butter, fold them and serve. But, besides eggs, cheese is the most essential ingredient in an omelette because the creamy buffer helps hold it together. Cheddar cheese that was used in this lab increase the gooey factor and make each bite creamier. Creamy cheese, stirred together with the sautéed vegetables also help with ingredient integration, assuring that every bite has a little bit of everything. For vegetables, the rules the smaller equals better applied here. Tomato, green capsicum and chives were cut into small dices and sautéed with clarified butter.

Cooking eggs in a non-stick sauté pan was easy, but the texture of omelette cooked against hot and greased steel was better. In order for the eggs not to stick to the pan, and in order to get the outside of the omelette to cook well, the pan need to be hot enough before pouring the eggs. The omelette was folded perfectly, but with a hit of brown. Inside, the eggs were rich, lush, and almost cheesy, their texture was custard-like consistency.  Season the omelette with salt and pepper while it’s still hot to make the omelette taste its best. When we served the omelette to Madam Hayati, the visual of the omelette was not quite appetizing because there was a slight hint of brownness at the exterior of omelette since we did not stir it well on the sauté pan. The omelette also was slightly hard and the moistness of the omelette lessen because of the same mistake but the taste was still good.  

That's all from me, you guys should try this :)

Favourite Saying

With a calm smile... a nameless flower blooms,

It grows on a cliff where no one can though... 

Grows silently unshaken even by the harsh winds,

It is not beautiful but it is strong,

Sarah... is such a flower like that,

Such a flower you has been tied...

Tied up, and it changed,

It has been transformed,

But nevertheless Sarah you will last...

However the storm will keep on blowing...

And the thorns will finally destroy your petals
