Steemit Mamas Challenges Round-Up // Tantangan Seru Dari Grup Steemit Mamas

Hi Everyone!

I am finally back home and

after 2 weeks of holidays
I am 2 tired 2 go back 2 work
but 2 broke not 2

YES! Steemit-ing is work, you know. You spend hours typing, sometimes it glitches and your hard work is gone, and at the end of the day, you don't get rewarded as you hoped you would :P See, almost similar to 9-5 day job :P Imagine the night shifts hahah and people wonder why I don't go back to my bakery life? :P It's crazy enough on Steemit :P

I missed a lot of #steemitmamas challenges, which I am trying to catch up now, because, seriously, #steemitmamas is a very fun and awesome group of mamas! These challenges they have which hosted by @metzli, are fantastic, you should really check the hashtag of #steemitmamas #writealong The mamas really poured out great contents! Talking bout great original content creators, those are the mamas!

I managed to send a contribution for

Day 1, community writing

, and I wrote for #fruitsandveggiesmonday with my stinky beans article haha -read here, https://steemit.com/fruitsandveggiesmonday/@thekitchenfairy/stinky-beans-the-mighty-beans-hidup-petai

But then I went on holidays and missed a lot. Damn holidays taking away my Steemit life, you know. So here I am, trying to play catch-up

Day 3, #steemitmamas radio

, my submission is, I am playing songs (as I am typing this), by Christina Perry, called Arms. I like this song, altho I prefer the acoustic version best, but of course the radio only has the studio cut. The next song, which is playing at the moment is called No Tears Left To Cry by Ariana Grande. Somehow the tune remind me an old song which to date I still cannot place my head to which song, but I totally believe I heard this tune before, the first time I heard Ariana's song, so I have been liking hers ever since. I decide I will type only these two songs for Day 2 @metzli, because I still need to unpack the luggage and I missed DAYS of challenges :P Can't and won't, be stuck in front of the screen all day, my kids gonna starve :P

Day 5, FAVORITE TOY!

- I played a lot of traditional market toys with my brother and oldest sis, where my brother would be the vendor, while my sis and I would be the customers. We had tons of miniature kitchenettes which I have to borrow pictures from Google screen shot. Ours weren't made of plastic, they were from real materials such as aluminum utensils and whatnot, so we could really cook with them. I cannot really remember what he mostly sold at his booth, but he would fry some crackers (yes, using cooking oil from our mother's kitchen hahah), he would make traditional candy, we called them gulali, and also would crush hibiscus and produce sticky slimey liquid, which we play-pretend it to be oil, sold in small bottles hahahha GOOD TIME!

Day 7 - Witness This

- The mamas are encouraged to write about their favorite witnes(ses) and as much as I would like to write about me, because I bet many of the mamas don't know that I am a witness (would be so happy to get your votes in for thekitchenfairy though, mamas!), but I can't choose me as a favorite now can I, I am not Simon Cowell ;-) Witnesses produce blocks which keep the Steem blockchain going, mamas! Everyone is able to vote for 30 witnesses and I have filled up those 30 slots on my end. I trust my votes to @roelandp, @timcliff, @good-karma, @ausbitbank, @followbtcnews, @curie, @anyx, @drakos, @pharesim, @klye, @arcange, @ocd-witness, @jackmiller, @steemgigs, @kevinwong, @emrebeyler, @steemcommunity, @krnel, @enginewitty, @isnochys, @comedyopenmic, @c0ff33a, @swelker101, @jrswab, @steemitboard, @bobdos, @quochuy, @sapphic, @puncakbukit. These witnesses are very community minded, have awesome knowledge of Steemit, some are great in coding, a couple have been here since the beginning of Steemit, many are down- to earth and easy to approach, very helpful. Last week I got to meet @enginewitty, one of the witnesses I voted. TOTALLY an awesome person

Day 9 - recipe to success?

- sorry I don't have any! I am still struggling on Steemit...but wait....we can write about any kinds of recipes even for disaster? hahaha You are fun for sure @metzli! For this writing, I am including a YouTube video of my scones recipe which I uploaded to Dtube a couple of weeks ago and some said they could not view Dtube, so here is a YouTube instead since I bet many can view it :) I am not including a new recipe for this challenge because it sad me when friends said they could not view Dtube as this recipe is the bomb, mamas! - and oh, also because I just got home from vacations, still lazy :P Give it a try, mamas. I used this recipe for my bakery during my caking days, they were always sold out :)
