Lidya Maulida Djuhandar

[Our Noodle Expert]

Imagine that inside our kitchen stands a beautiful chef like Lidya. Gosh, it must be really dazzling, ain’t it? You don’t need Farrah Quinn anymore.

Nah, you can stop your imagination, because Lidya made her time to visit HAI’s kitchen. It didn’t take her so long to approach a plate of ready-to-cook spaghetti.

Can you cook anything?

“I can only cook instant noodles and boil some water. Oh, and also playing as a chef when I was a kid. Hahaha,” she answers while laughing.

It seems that Lidya fails every time she tries to cook something. The only kind of food she never fails to cook is instant noodles!

“Once I tried to made buttered fried rice when I entered a competition in elementary school, but the taste was terrible. The only cooking I can succeed in and be delicious is instant noodles,” she claims.

Even though she can’t cook, this milk-tea lover is actually eager to learn cooking seriously. Lidya wishes that one day she will be able to make her own sushi.

“One time my relatives wants to teach me to make sushi, but actually I was more interested in eating all the sushi. I just want to eat. Hehehe,” she reveals.

People can really see that this eldest girl of three siblings is really a culinary aficionado. When she was in the photography session, she uttered something.

“The spaghetti is really delicious. I can finish all the spaghetti here. Hahaha…”

Speaking of cooking, Lidya had an interesting experience with her friends in JKT48, during the [Fortune Cookie in Love] handshake festival last November to be exact.

The Team KIII members had an initiative to sell food that they made by themselves and named after their song titles.

“It was a hectic process to cook all the food while people who want to buy them were waiting. And it’s hot with so many people, so it’s like Master Chef. Actually we were just preheating some frozen food, but it was still fun” she exclaims.

Well, even though her cooking skill is debatable, but Lidya is really happy that she can be chosen to join “Bring Out Your Dream Oshi”. She also loves the theme, Cooking!

“I didn’t really expect that my fans really wanted me to enter this article. I thought at first that they just ask people to vote, but actually they were being serious about it.” she tells us.

Well, we’re also happy, Lid… (ALVIN/GITA)

[…Loves Bicycles Actually]

Imagine that one day you’re really upset because your car breaks down, and when you bring it to the service center, you find out that the mechanic is a gorgeous and cute girl. Ahh… All your stress will go with the wind.

It will be more heavenly if the mechanic is one of the JKT48 members, let’s say the cute Viny. You’ll find that the garage feels like a paradise.

Don’t you agree?

You might forget about your broken down car. You don’t even realize that Viny can’t actually repair your car, so the paradise is only for us. For your car, well, it’s still hell since it doesn’t get repaired.

“To be honest, I’ve never repaired any cars. I think this is the first time I’ve opened a car hood,” says this Mr. Big fan.

She even admits that she’s given up on driving a car or motorcycle, let alone repairing it. Why is that, Vin?

“Once, a friend of mine ask me to ride a motorcycle, but my friend asks me to drive it. When the motorcycle started, I fell off, and since then I’ve been a li’l bit traumatized,” Viny responds while reminiscing the incident a few years back.

Gosh.

So it’s not really surprising that the only vehicle that Viny is confident in riding is a bicycle.

Hahaha…

[Too shy, too cute]

“I’m shy if people keep staring at me,” she says with a smile.

During the photo session, this girl with a generous smile kept covering her face with her hands. She admitted that she is quite a timid person.

“Before, I was reluctant if I were asked to sing in front of the class. It was somehow humiliating for me,” she adds.

The same thing happened when she first joined as the member of Team KIII. When the others tried to find new friends, Viny didn’t.

Even though she is as timid as a cat, this impression will change if you get to know her much further.

“Actually, the real me is a chatty person,” she says.

[I need my books]

“My favorite place is the bookstore. Every Friday, I go there to buy new novels. My favorite novels are romance and fantasy because I’m a li’l bit sentimental.”

[Her lovely other sides]

Viny…
~ Has an ambition to become an interior designer one day;
~ Have a favorite keychain that should always be put on her bag, so the keychain must be there even if she changes her bag;
~ Lived in Yogyakarta for a year but moved back to Jakarta because she couldn’t bear to live far from her family.
