Happy Day Restaurant - Jakarta Pusat

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so, on last saturday I went to HAPPY DAY restaurant with my bestie. we went for lunch anyway.
di restoran ini, lo bakal rasain sensasi makan di Italy because desain interior nya kental bgt sama suasana Italy...mulai dari lantai dan dinding kayu, atap nya yang dibuat agak rendah di pintu masuk, hiasan dinding, dan masih banyak lagi lah...hoho

Hari itu, I was so hungry, so I ordered Beef Lovers Pizza, Guava Juice sama Deep-fried prawn with mayonnaise (mungkin, agak lupa namanya).

after all, the foods were extremely good.

harga pizza nya sekitar 26k, untuk deep fried prawn nya itu 16k, guava juice 14k, es teh sekitar 7k lah hoho

pokoknya, we spend IDR 80.000 for today's lunch. it wasgreat. lol

AFTER ALL, i'll take a visit again but i'll not order the guava juice. it wasn't tasty for me. i'll try its milkshake some time :D

•  FOODs

Well, as you know there’s a “food” word in JFFF. Jangan ngaku keren kalo ke JFFF tapi kan bersinggah ke food festival gading yang mengangkat tema “Kampoeng Tempoe Doeloe” yang berlokasi di La Piazza. Di ‘TKP’ ini, you will find another awesome athmosphere, karena lokasi ini di “sihir” hingga menyerupai pasar Gambir. Hal ini dilakukan mengingat Pasar Gambir merupakan pasar malam yang selalu ramai dikunjungi dan di Kampoeng Tempoe Doeloe ini, you’ll get those 90s feelings. Suasana betawi jaman dulu yang sangat kental juga bisa dirasakan  di KTD ini. Tahun ini, para penikmat kuliner nusantara akan benar- benar dipuaskan dengan jajanan tradisional mulai dari Gado- gado, manisan cianjur, sate jamur dan aneka masakan asli Indonesia lainnya. KTD di buka pukul 4 sore pada weekdays dan pukul 11 pagi pada weekend dan hari libur dan ditutup jam 11 malam setiap harinya. KTD tahun ini mengambil tempat yang cukup luas dan dapat menampung ratusan bahkan ribuan pengunjung tiap harinya. Tak jauh dari KTD, you’ll find a gate to Wine and Cheese Expo where you can find the finest wine and cheese!

Jadi, buat para kuliner, jangan pada diem aja di rumah, RUSH yourself and feel the excitement with traditional foods here!

The last but not least, and this is extremely important *lol*

• FASHION

Apa yang lu pikirin waktu denger kata FASHION? Baju? Yes. Shoes? YEP. Cosmetics and accessories? Absolutely. Designers? Of course. What else? Nah. Beberapa event yang mengangkat tema fashion kadang gitu- gitu aja. Paling sekedar pameran baju, shoes bazaar dan jual- jualin produk dari designer terkenal. JFFF juga gitu sih. Tapi plus nya, you’ll see so many runways! For fashion lovers, rasanya ga banget kalo ga nonton fashion show. That’s exactly what I feel. Karena waktu itu ga sempet nonton fashion show di IFW February lalu, akhirnya gua dating ke JFFF dan rush myself ke Harris hotel lantai 5 untuk melihat “TRENDOLOGY” fashion show. Berhubung gue ikut kontes dari BBLOG, I got a free ticket dan wow. Ya, meskipun gue telat 15 menit, but that’s totally fine. I saw so many beautiful, unique and unexplainable arts. Di fashion show ini, gue liat runway dari

That was an awesome show and I really enjoyed it. Apalagi mereka para designer kelas atas di Indonesia, dan emang desainnya itu luar biasa. Traditionally urban. Modern tapi tak lupa untuk memasukan sedikit unsur Indonesia kedalam karyanya. Huge applause for them all! And I wish I can come over next year, thanks JFFF and BBLOG!! xx

SINGLE-GENDER SCHOOL

so, i read some articles today about single gender school. it means, in that school, all the students are from the same gender, either it is a boy or a girl. and some people just gave lots of opinions, well, i called it as a debate. lol. so what i found is,

"Single-sex schools are schools that only admit those of one specific gender, believing that the educational environment fostered by a single gender is more conducive to learning than a co-educational school. Studies conducted have shown that boys gain more academically from studying in co-education schools, but that girls find segregated schools more conducive to achievement. However academic results are not the only criterion on which the success of the education system should be judged. In the United States, a long-standing controversy over the Virginia Military Institute resulted in a landmark Supreme Court ruling, in June 1996, that the institute must admit women. Nevertheless the Court left room for private (i.e. not state-run) single-sex institutions and other such schools, where needed, to redress discrimination. Proponents of single-sex schools maintain that, by removing the distractions of the other sex, students learn more effectively and feel better about their education. Opponents maintain that co-educational schools in contrast are important in that they prepare students better for the real world, and do not attempt to segregate students from the realities of adult life. This debate can apply both to secondary school and college level, but single-sex institutions are found more frequently at the former.

 and some people were like...

Children will gain exposure to the opposite sex when they reach adult life; whilst they are young, they should be around those who they feel most comfortable with. The inclinations of children in the formative years, between 7 and 15, are to gravitate towards their own sex. What is natural should be encouraged, and can most easily be done so in single-sex institutions. Furthermore, they naturally tend towards behaviour appropriate to their gender. It is therefore easier to implement an education strategy geared specifically towards one gender. Moreover, certain subjects are best taught, both in terms of ease and effectiveness, in single-sex classrooms, such as sex education or gender issues. 

 after all, i found this too..

Teaching girls in single-sex schools, long an obsession of many parents worried about their daughters being distracted by boys, makes no difference to their educational attainment according to one of the most comprehensive studies of the way children learn.
The findings by Alan Smithers, Professor of Education at Buckingham University and one of Britain's most respected schools experts, will come as a shock to parents convinced their daughters would benefit from an all-girl environment. Half a century of research 'has not shown any dramatic or consistent advantages for single-sex education' for boys or girls, he will conclude.

well, actually, it makes me think really hard. in one side, i think it's good enough with all-girls or all-boys school environment, because they have no distractions and they willing to study more. BUT, in another side, and it's important, as you know God created girl and boy to live together, and i worried if those children are in the single-gender school since they were kids (4-5 years old), i worried, they were afraid to make friends with their opposite. i mean, in their school they didn't know about their opposite better and i think, they friendship isn't that you know, as big as children who went to public school.

well, at least, that's what i think. tell me yours? ;)
