Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

My Warm house


My house now is not a big house rather than the last house where I lived. The last house before I move here is so big big big house ever, was built on Dutch’s colonize. Yes, very big and located in front of main road. So crowded, so noisy, and always be target of accidents, don’t know why. But now, I live small house, maybe since 12years ago. Smaller than before, in quite place, not really far from main road, but not in front of it. So little bit quite here.

Even not a big house and there are 6 people in house, it feel so warm here. Of course smaller house with much people will make it warmer, but not because of that. it is because love hehe… we are loving each other, that makes my house feel so warm. Yeah I know, I live in Pandaan which is very very hot (and not good for vampire hehe), but when stay inside house I feel so cool and stay warm always. Is that sounds strange? Stay cool and warm in same time? Not strange for me. Feel so comfortable here.

Mom always take care of family, cook always and feed us with good and healthy foods, always listen to her kids stories, always gave us good advice, always told me something important since I am the oldest one, always listen and obey to everything that Dad says, always keep her mom save and healthy, always do the best for family. That is my mom.

Dad always watch his every kids very well, always be the first one who got worried if something happen to kids and family, even not talking as much as mom he always lead us to be in good way in life, always give us lots of money if we say “Dad, I have to buy this book, that book, many books”, dad always want his kids do the best in education and get much knowledge, such a good leader for his wife, kids, and family. That is my dad.

And my granny, even she is so loud and talking much, I know that she talking about our goodness. Not all can accept her habit, lot of people doesn’t like she talks much, it just because they doesn’t know my granny so much like me even they are her grandchild too. Getting older, and still fresh, and still active, and still loud, and still talks much, that is my granny.

Sisters, are doing good. The youngest are looks like me. the oldest are dreamer, same like me. so they both, are looks like me when I was young or now. They just follow their oldest well. They are my sisters.

And me, it’s me. and only me. The oldest daughter, the oldest grandchild. I just have to be me. and I am happy to be me, my self.  

And that’s my house, people in my warm house. Really love them all.

Cara Memilih Bacaan

Pulang - Leila Chudori Pengalaman gw mulai menyukai membaca karena bukunya yang bagus. Kata orang jangan judge buku dari sampulnya. Gw termasuk orang yang suka judge buku dari sampul. Tapi itu bukan hal yang utama dong tentunya. Itu hanya ekstra poin aja.  Pertama kali gw baca buku dan tiba-tiba suka adalah saat papa yang waktu itu pulang, bawain gw buku ensiklopedia yang isinya sejarah dan astronomi. Itu yang bikin gw langsung suka baca, karena materinya bikin gw berbinar. Itu juga awal mula gw suka astronomi.  Perjalanan sebagai pembaca tentu saja lama sekali. Beberapa genre gw coba baca, kadang suka, kadang nggak suka. Hingga akhirnya gw tau apa yang bikin gw akan baca buku itu.  "Halaman pertama tulisannya" Gaya menulis orang itu pasti selalu berbeda. Meskipun mirip dengan yang lain, pasti akan ada karakter pembedanya. Itu biasanya terlihat dari halaman pertama tulisannya. Bayangkan, meski materinya bagus tapi penyampainya nggak bagus juga nggak akan nyangkut di pemb...

Pakai Debit Jenius di Luar Negeri

Amsterdam Central Station  Ini pertama kalinya pakai debit Jenius di luar negeri. Pemakaian ini menggunakan sumber dana EUR yang ada di aplikasi. Jadi uang yang keluar adalah uang EUR, bukan IDR.  Untuk buka rekening valas di Jenius, tinggal ditambahkan saja bagian buka akun valas lalu pilih kurs yang diinginkan. Di kasus ini gw punya rekening EUR di Jenius yang ditujukan untuk transaksi di Eropa.  Karena kemarin lagi di Belanda, akhirnya pengen coba pakai debit card Jenius karena EDC di Belanda belum tentu bisa untuk kartu kredit saja. Sebelum digunakan tentunya jangan lupa untuk menyambungkan kartu debit ke rekening mata uang asingnya biar sumber pengeluaran juga langsung dari tabungan valas itu. Tinggal klik klik aja kok. Tibalah saatnya menggunakan mata uang EUR yang sudah kubeli dari Jenius. Waktu itu gw pakainya di Schipol, di dua toko berbeda, dan keduanya nggak bisa tap langsung. Jadi harus insert kartu, tentu bukan masalah.  Karena terbiasa dengan transaksi...
