Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

FrontSummer

Apa yang terlintas dipikiran jika mendengar kata FrontSummer??

Ok, FrontSummer itu nama grup WA kelas kuliah GH09. Sebelumnya sih namanya bukan FrontSummer, tapi akhirnya jadi kesepakatan FrontSummer karena tingkah laku kita yang yaaaa mencerminkan nama itu banget deh. Awalnya di tahun pertama kuliah kita masih yaa bisa dibilang masih berkelompok sih. Masih kurang bisa langsung akrab gitu lah satu sama lain. Tapi lama-lama, tahun demi tahun kita jadi lebih deket lah dari sebelumnya. Ga tau ya kenapa bisa jadi lumer gini, kita “aktif” banget di grup kelas ini. Nah nama sebelum FrontSummer itu banyak banget, ada yang “Calon penghuni surga”, ada juga “Sukses dunia akhirat”, ada lagi yang formal banget “Matematika UM 09” atau “Offering GH09”, dan banyak lagi lainnya, sering diganti-ganti tergantung mood dan trend saat itu. Dan kemudian salah satu member mengganti dengan nama FrontSummer. Alasannya,  kita frontal dan kita mesum jadilah frontsummer hahaha

Jadi gini, kenalkan member disini ada sekitar 18, meskipun yang aktif hanya beberapa saja tapi yang lain juga masih bisa menanggapi obrolan. Ada aku, Sopi, Parul, Desi, Adi, Ajes, Tutut, Rina, Icha, Nisa, Yulinov, Yuliarti, Ida, Livia, Yayun, Pratiwi (paling ndak aktif nih). Jadi kita bersekian ini selalu mengobrol dan memulai dari, “Rekk” atau “Tes”. Dari “tes” akan ditanggapi menjadi “tis”, “Tos”, akhirnya menjadi lengkap “testosterone”. Nah lo! Terus lanjut, tiba-tiba obrolan jauuuhhh dari bahas penting-penting kayak kerjaan atau beasiswa langsung cuusss menjadi “Rek aku belet pup”. Ok, obrolan nggelambyar lagi deh. Bahasan kita lengkap. Dari mulai basa basi sampai emang basiiii banget, sampe yang serius kayak beasiswa, nikah, kerjaan, perbankan dll. Yang paling sering kita bahas itu soal hape ato gadget because we have the king of that things, let say Fachrul and Ajes. Kalo ajes sih lebih hobi beli hape hehehe. Dan kalo bahasan udah memper kearah seksologi, biologi, budaya dan bahasa, sampe bahas yang kadang paling tabu pun, gue ma sopi sering duet. Sampe gue pernah tipo yang fataaalll banget dan paling gue inget banget. Ada juga nih si Smart costumer yang hobinya bahas hape apa yang paliing bagus karena dia mau beli hape, pertanyaan yang sama selalu dia ulang dari beberapa bulan yang lalu dan berakhir dengan kegalauan yang akhirnya tak kunjung membeli hape, Tutut. Rajanya typo, kita punya Desi ma Fachrul. Tapi setiap omongan bijak bisa keluar dari seorang Desi yang membuatku menjadi lebih open minded. Setiap kali omongan serius tiba-tiba ada split disananya, pakarnya Adi. Dia juga (menurut gue) yang paling mesum dan frontal hahaha. Ada makanan enak yang baru aja selese dimakan ma calon suaminya terus dipamerin ke kita, hobinya Icha. Ada juga yang let it flow, tapi kalo udah galo tingkat kreatifitasannya meningkat pesat, Nisa. Ada yang newbie disini, tiap obrolan nyeleneh dia muncul dengan bahasa kedaerahannya yang masih krasa, Ida. Ada lagi nih yang tiba-tiba aja nongol dan Cuma nongol kalo lagi bahas urusan perbankan, Yayun.  Ada lagi yang menanyakan hal tentang “biologi” yang sebelumnya udah pernah dia tanyakan tapi ditanyain lagi gara-gara lupa dan juga lebih hobi kompor-komporin bahasan grup, lets call Rina. Or...let say she is a GPS of Pasar Besar. jadi kalo mau ke pasar besar, cukup tanya Rina aja lokasinya. GPS ala rina akan segera on dan memberikan informasi akurat. Yang tiba-tiba muncul dengan pertanyaan “Haruskah aku mempertahankan yang lama atau memilih yang baru?”, Livia. Yuliarti muncul dengan pertanyaan “Rek, SMK sekian di malang itu bagus ndak”. Yulinov, selalu meramaikan suasana yang udah “terbakar”. 

Hati-hati dengan para pacar, terutama laki-laki. Karena akan menjadi konsumsi publik grup ini. Bahkan direbutkan dan akhirnya jadi bingung. Bener-bener brasa direbutin, dilempar, ditukar, direbut lagi. Apalagi yang ngerebut si cowok-cowoknya hehee. 

Ini FrontSummer selalu aja bisa bikin ngakak se ngakak-ngakaknya. Gak pernah bosen deh disini. Always share many things and new things. Jadilah diri kalian sendiri,   dan semoga kesuksesan menghampiri kita semua seperti yang kita impikan masing-masing. Aamiin.. and thanks hehehe

Surviving -20 Celcius in Moscow

frozen lake in Moscow I'd say surviving because I am a tropical girl coming from 30-35 degree Celcius. So yes, this is about surviving such differences in temperature. I spent my whole life in a tropical country then I have to be in a -20 celcius, not an easy situation.  Obviously, I came prepared. I have been in a 0 celcius and learned that double triple layering is the right answer. Moscow has heater that runs nonstop since the beginning of (probably, I dont remember) November until early May. So you technically can not turn it off or on. Many days it gets too hot inside. Going to the mall in Moscow got me super sleepy and tired because it feels most of the time like in Sauna. So, double triple layering in Moscow is the right thing to do.  November temperature usually started to feel chilly, still not lower than 0. December will get colder can be minus. But January and February are the coldest season. This year dropped to -20 (that I can remember). The average temperature wa...

Happiness is ...

Few days ago I met new friends. They are friends of my friend. I helped them for their competition. It's good to know them since the way they think about something is unique and quite close to mine. Until one of them ask me : 'What is happiness for you?' I told them that for me happiness is when I stop compare myself with others and not being compared with anybody else (well, you can compare me with others but don't tell me if you do haha!). I used to compare myself with people. For following their success path might be ok, but for having the same life as theirs who seen successful and happy, I don't think so. So I stop to compare myself with others and it make me feel enough. I feel more relax, since I don't have to pretend or to be somebody else. I feel more 'me' because I only think about me and free to do what I want to do (or to think what I want to think). But one of them said 'For me happiness is when you can breathe, eat, sleep, and p...

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...
