Hello!

Hello,

I’m so excited to write on my new blog. Well, this is not my first blog, but I hope this will be my first active blog because I never wrote anything in my old blog. I created my first blog when I was at Senior High School because my teacher had me to HAVE a blog. And because she only had me to HAVE it, I just HAD it and didn’t write on it. But now, my ‘mission’ is different. I want to practice my writing skill (in English). I learn English and I think that writing on a blog is one of the best ways to improve my English skill. And because I’m still learning English, there might be a lot of Grammatik mistakes in my blog XD.

You have to know why I chose estungtung as my blog’s name. Es tung-tung is a kind of ice cream which is made from coconut milk. It tastes very sweeeet and it will be more ‘delicioso’ when we eat it with some bread. Can you imagine that? I love this ice cream. This is one of Indonesian traditional food. You can also find this ice cream in Chatuchak market, Thailand. I admit, Thai’s way to serve this ice cream is better than our way. Thai serves it with young tiny coconut as a bowl and it looks artistic, here we only serve it on a plastic glass or cone.

Hey, I talked about Chatuchak market, I talked about travel! Yeah, I love travelling (I don’t have a chance to do it till now tho). I watch a lot of travel shows in TV and read some books about it. I’m lovin’ it. Travel can open our mind to see the world better. Travel around, meet new people, keep old friends, and make new, that’s what we call life. And I really hope I can enjoy my life in that way.

And because I really want to travel a lot in my rest of life, I started to learn languages. I learned French and Japanese when I was in Senior High School. I’ve been learning English since I was in Elementary School (6^th grade), and I’ve been learning German since I was in Senior High School. Now, I’m learning German in University. I speak Indonesian, Javanese, a little English and German, I know a little bit French and Japanese, and I wish I spoke Italian, Spanish, and Czech. I’m very interested about Czech because I had a friend there, we lost our contact and it sucks. Oh, I have a lot of friends abroad. They are from Canada, Italy, French, India, Algeria, German, Australia, Brazil, Chile, and most of them are from United States. This is the best thing in my life, having foreign friends from all ‘continents on this earth’ (except Antarctica for sure).

Btw, I always see my life as a lollipop. Why? Because lollipop has a lot of colors, a lot tastes, but overall it is sweet. That’s my life. Sometimes I’m trapped in a bad situation, that’s the bitter part. Sometimes I feel sooo happy, and that’s the sweet part. And I also have a sour part in my life. But overall my life tastes sweet, and will always taste sweet. This is the essence of lollipop, the essence of life.

Actually I had two options as my blog’s name, lollipop or estungtung. I think estungtung will be the best choice because most people don’t know what it is and then I can introduce it to people. But whatever it is, I’m so excited being on this blog and hopefully I can always be and write on it.
