MasterChef Australia Season 7

I'm not really a good cook, just an ordinary home-cook. I rarely try to find some recipes from a book, I'd rather to watch video or TV. In my country, Indonesia, there are some national and local TV programs about cooking which are really interesting to watch. But, for the international TV programs that show us the most popular cooking competition in the world is MasterChef. There are so many international version in many countries all over the world, including Indonesia. And MasterChef Australia is one of my favorite versions.

Several days ago, I just finished watching MasterChef Australia Season 7 on Lifetime Asia, I saw all the contestants are amazing cooks and really nice people. They seem to get along very well as a group, until in the finale they have formed beautiful friendships. I also like the judges (Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston) and the guest mentors (Shannon Bennett and Marco Perre White). They are generous, talented, professionals, and successful chefs for sure. I love this cooking competition, especially Australia version. Every country has its own uniqueness, but Masterchef Australia filled with positive mindset, self confidence, polite manner, and good attitude in judging and in the competition. This is the reason why I was keep watching this season.

The Classic Tale of Sleeping Beauty: Briar-Rose

We must be familiar with fairy tales. I used to listen to fairy tale stories when I was a child, my favorite was the bed time stories. Fairy tales generally take place in a far-off place and time, typically begin with “Once upon a time.” In the land of fairy tales, magical happens. A fairy tale often tells the story of an individual, takes into the entire life, and generally ends happily. The traditional and common closing line of a fairy tale is, “...and they lived happily ever after.” In the early 19th century, the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, scholars who studied folklore, linguistics, and literary history, began collecting and recording old German folktales. The tales were often full of supernatural elements such as witches, talking animals, and magical kingdoms. One of the tales that the Grimm brothers collected was a version of the story of Sleeping Beauty known as Briar-Rose.

The Music-Obsessed Kid in Me Finally Got Her Wish

My earliest memories are steeped in music, all thanks to my mom. Actually she's a classical guitar player, and I can still picture her when her fingers dancing on the fret-board. She was the first person to teach me how to play guitar when I was just in elementary school. There's something beautiful and pure about the way she plays. As I grew older, my fascination with music just expended. I was itching to learn more! I remember practically begging my parents for classical music lessons especially the violin and the piano. Unfortunately, life had other plans, We had just moved into a new house, and our savings were dedicated to school and settling in, so lessons just weren’t in the budget at that time. Honestly, though, it was fine. When I was in junior high, my dad surprised me with a keyboard. I dove right into learning it, and I've loved having it.
