Sushi Ew to Sushi Yay!

The first time I ate sushi was with my sister, in Sushi Groove, Taman Anggrek. We came just to buy something-I-forgot haha. Unplanned destination. We passed through the restaurant then We turned.  I never made any predictions about the taste. I chose the California Maki Roll, sushi filled with avocado, crab meat or crab stick and cucumber. On the outside, full covered with tobiko or well known as fish egg, which tastes sweeeet.

We took seats on the same table with other guests, who were not Indonesians. Theeen the sushi had been served on our table.  Its size was pretty enough to get inside your mouth all at once. And it had beauty color combination, sparkling orange outside, clean and fresh filling inside.

I didn't see any strangeness about this food. I grabbed one with chopstick, comment of the first  bite I had expressed by my lineament. Just like this -> .______. then my eyes turned red and teary. I was to spew this thing out of my mouth. But well...hold on. My mind had me, "swallow it..swallow it.." It just didn't taste like food :s Soon I took the glass of ocha (tea), the gulp pushed the sushi down to my tummy through my throat. Then, aaaah. This sense had given me a point that sushi was as bad as celery. Like, "I WILL ACT LIKE YOU NEVER EXIST, HIH!"

But in a couple weeks,my tongue would like to meet the strangeness of sushi. I was craving =p~
Weird, huh? Then I asked my best, Yuli, to eat some. Coincidence, She loves sushi. We went to Sushi Tei in Plaza Indonesia. The taste much better than the ones before gave. I tasted many sushi at some restaurants. Now, I can decide where to get these delicious food that I claimed as the worst one before :D.

Antara Simple Past Tense dan Present Perfect Tense

Dulu gue bingung sama kedua tenses ini. Keduanya sama-sama digunakan setelah kejadian usai. Baca di buku, baca di web, sama semua isinya.


Jadi begini loh ndo,

• Simple Past Tense :  S + Verb2

I saw a can of beer on your desk. Was it yours?  = Saya tadi melihat ada beer di meja kamu. Apa itu punya kamu?

• Present Perfect Tense = S + have/has + V3

I have seen Silent Hill movie. For me, it wasn't much scary.  = Saya sudah menonton Silent Hill. Menurut saya, filmnya ga nyeremin amat ah.

Kalau gue nangkepnya sih, kalo pake kata have/has diartiinnya sudah. Coba bedain lagi deh.

Saya tadi pagi mandi jam 7 = I took a bath at 7 this morning.
Saya sudah mandi sebelum kamu ajak jalan-jalan = I have taken a bath before you asked me to go out.  

More or less, seperti itu deh. Kalau udah bisa baca situasinya pasti mudah buat penggunaan tenses-tenses ini. Ok sekian. Semoga bermanfaat.

Cheerio!
