Ketupat Challenge

During ramadhan, my mom was preparing to celebrate hari raya. A lot of work to do and one of them was 'anyam ketupat'. i don't know where is this intention come from but suddenly I'm offering myself to help 'anyam ketupat'. it is a good idea and a good news to my mom, but, actually you know what, i don't know how to do it.~~~

so, i learn from my mom's chef assistants. she is an Indonesian woman, named kak siti. at first, i look at her anyaman. then i follow step by step. slowly... until done! she'd done and I'm also done. every single step was the same, my step and her step. but i don't know why, the result was not same. and of course, kak siti's anyaman become ketupat but mine, become keputat~

after many times i ask kak siti to teach me, i can see on her face, she is fed up with me. hahahaha... even though i am a fast learner, but in case of anyam ketupat, i'm such a loser...
but i'm not given up yet. you know what i do? i took a video of kak siti while she anyam the ketupat, and then go to my room and practice. remember, perfect practice makes perfect!

practice and practice and practice.....
and practice and practice and practice again... suddenly my mom get inside my room and she surprised (or shocked) to see my intention to learn anyam ketupat was so high. then she gave me a lesson. i hope my mom can teach better than kak siti.... after a several minutes..
i did it! she show me the simple way and i almost make a perfect ketupat. just need some practice more! thanks mama! i am your son!

momma said "amy, after this i want you to help me anyam ketupat for my catering".
and i said "aaaarrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh! don't want, don't want, don't want!"

it is a lot of ketupat!

*both my elder sister's also don't know how to anyam ketupat!
