Kania’s Hobbies & Beyond

Currently, I have two collectible items: board game and swatch. For this post I will write about my board game collectible.

I bought this game Steel Driver at an online auction. What makes Steel Driver very special is its limitation. There are only 1500 copies available world wide and all sold out. They were numbered (mine is #1388) and SIGNED by the game designer, Martin Wallace. Cool huh? but I don’t think I will play the game because.. no time and no player It’s suppose to be played by 3-6 people while my game partner is only my dearest bf Meirza…  So I’m sure it will end up forever as a display on the shelf. It’s a collectible anyway, and collectibles meant to be ummm.. solely as a display hehee

For the pic, I will post it later. see u around!

Poy-poy has got a new addiction… yeah, it’s SWATCH!!! A particular swatch called Blofeld’s Cat. It’s a special swatch that dedicated to James Bond’s villain Blofeld who got a fluffy white cat from the  movie, “You Only Live Twice”. On the watch’s face depicted a cat’s paw, and on the strap there is a spectre (blofeld’s organization) logo. Curious why Poy-poy like this swatch? Here are the pics

The watch

Blofeld’s Cat, his name is Solomon the evil cat!

Poy-poy and the swatch

1. I put it as his neck collar

2. Then, after I put it on the tap, he tried to remove it!

Looks like swatch’s charm also works for cats

Actually, I decided to classify “collecting swatch” as my hobby. I have around 20 swatches in total, including the missing ones. yeah, several swatches GONE when I moved to my new house. pity…

I bought them at Singapore, one swatch minimum for every visit. Then, there is an online local store called Lil’ Swatch Shop who was kind enough providing original swatches with less price than the official store! Even it has limited special world wide packaging edition swatch! how cool is that! I bought Blofeld’s Cat (and several other swatches)here.

From now, beside cat and board games, I will write about my swatch collection. Just wait and see!

Cheers,

Kania

After mating several times with different felines, finally Poy-poy becomes a father!!! His mate was Noni, he met her at Andrawina. Noni’s owner is Mba Vera, who’s kind enough to keep me updated with the kittens. Here’s the pic.. enjoy!!

I’m planning to write detailed reviews of my board games collection.. Well, I’m quite good at planning something.. but definitely not at keeping them
Keep my plans on track is one of my toyear resolution (English has the term today for current day, so why not using toyear for current year? tomonth? toweek? hahaa) so hopefully i can fulfill it.

As you can see on the title, i’ll write a brief review about Y&Y (pronounced “why and why”) Grill which located at Grand Indonesia. Y & Y’s famous for its wide range of food, from rice n sushi to pasta, steak, and pizza. It has a decent price too. I went there twice with my family. I always order the same food which is : Delectable Hot Stone Steak!! This is a very delicious mouth-watering dish! I ordered 100 g Wagyu Grade 9, the chateaubriand part that has NONE fat. The beef alone worth 300.000 rupiah. Yep, without any side dishes.

I ate the steak without any gravy or black pepper or mushroom sauce. Instead, I ate it only with salt, pepper, and light japanese amiyaki sauce. Veeeeeeeeeeeery delicious. couldn’t ask for more because it was very expensive!
For the side dishes, i ordered mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables

The manager told my father, that if we wanted Wagyu grade 9+, we should come to Y Grill at Wisma Nusantara. OMG, i wonder how much the price for one plate. Anyone knows?
