Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...

Mereka adalah beberapa dari siswa Mayantara School yang berada dibawah asuhanku *bahasa gueh*. Kebanyakan mereka memang belajar Bahasa Korea. Kepada mereka, aku menyalurkan banyak ilmu. dan dari mereka pula aku belajar dan mendapat banyak ilmu baru. Mengajar, benar-benar bukan keinginanku. Tapi mengajarkan hal baru yang bermanfaat untuk orang lain merupakan satu kepuasan tersendiri. Stress kah ketika mengajar mereka?? Hmm mungkin stres hanya sekitar 5%, sisanya seneng. Kok bisa seneng?? karena menghadapi berbagai macam orang dengan macam-macam karakteristik. Sangat menyenangkan sekali bekerja berhadapan dengan makhluk hidup. Sepertinya tipe-tipe pekerjaan yang cocok buatku adalah bekerja dengan manusia, bukan dengan mesin atau benda.

I get salary not as much as officer or CEO or HRD in a big company. I know, but that salary is enough. My mindset isn't money oriented now. Not much salary but if I compare with other jobs that often make the workers get stress, I am happy being here. The situation, the students, the co workers, the owner, and everything here feel so good and really conducive. And that makes me think, "What if I become a teacher or professor??" *proses memikirkannya*

I know sometimes we have to move on. But maybe not now. Teaching here really give me lots experiences. A priceless experiences. We always improve our skills day by day. I get to improve my Korean skills and also not forget my mathematics.

Oh iya, aku dapat tugas baru untuk membuat soal latihan persiapan masuk universitas. Tantangan baru. Yahhh walaupun aku tidak akan membuat soal matematika sendiri, tapi pasti akan menjadi tantangan dan pengalaman baru.

Bekerja dengan hati. Itulah intinya. Bekerjalah dengan hati, maka kau akan bahagia dan rajin bekerja :)

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...

Pengalaman Bikin (Free) Schengen Visa di VFS Swiss

I know this is so normal but anyway I like to compare the experiences because people might have different cases and because I have nothing to lose so... here's my experience for applying Schengen Visa via Swiss (VFS). Kenapa nggak via Belanda? Karena rencana kita berkunjung lamanya ke Geneve - Swiss (ada urusan kerjaan suami gw) dan kami belum tau akan ke Belanda apa nggak saat itu (nggak jadi sih soalnya mepet banget).  Seperti yang sudah sering dibahas orang lain perihal syarat dan ketentuan apply Schengen visa, gw nggak akan nulis itu ya. Udah ada di website VFS, lengkap. Gw cuma tambahin dikit-dikit aja infonya yang mungkin sama seperti kasus yang baca kalo emang kebetulan sama sih 😂 "Ok jadi total pembayarannya 280 ribu rupiah ya" "HAH?? Cuma 200an mbak??? Visanya gratis???" "Suaminya masih WN Belanda kan mbak?" "Iya" "Oiya itu gratis, bisa pake visa tipe C. Jadi cuma bayar biaya admin aja" ...
