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...

Mamaku wonder woman

If you ask me, who is the one you adore in your life? Well.. the answer will be that answer only, mama. I adore her very much. She is super hero in my life, super woman, super and so super.

Why?

Still asking why?

Mama is the one who deliver me to the world. She brought me on her belly for more than 9 months and giving birth, vaginal birth, that must be so much in pain. She need more than 9 hours to feel the pain. I am her oldest so it must be so hard to have baby for the first time. She dedicate her life to be a housewife to take care of husband and daughters. She is fulltime housewife. Although she breastfeed me only for months *and people said I am cow daughter*, I know that must be hard not to breastfeed me. She always be so careful in taking care of me because I am her oldest one. I gave her first experience in taking care of baby. And of course giving her tiresome days even now.

She never treat me like a princess. She always ask and teach me to be a strong girl like her. She teach me how to be responsible to everything we did, teach me how to cook *even I have to learn more and more*, teach me how to teach my kids later *I learn when she educate me*, teach me how to love others, teach me how to respect people although they hurt us, teach me how to be a good sister and model for the youngers, teach me to be patient, teach me to pursue higher education, teach me to be someone that family will proud of me, and teach me how to choose a man.

She is very good in cooking. Her foods will always be my favorite ever. No chef can beat her in cooking. I have to learn how to cook and be a good chef for my husband and kids later. She is not like a princess. She can do almost every works that men do. That’s why I said she is super woman. Because in my eyes, she could do everything. That so super. And she will be so feminine on the other day. She is good at putting on make up. I am growing up and we are often sharing our stuff like hijab, shoes *paling sering*, even shirts, also lipstick, and eyeliner. Hah that what women does when we are in front of mirror.

She consider me as a woman now. She tells everything about her problem to me. She consider my opinion now although I never give specific opinion.

What she ask from me? she ask nothing. Is she wants a lot of money to give? No. she don’t want it. She only want I become success woman in everything I do, be a good wife and mom, and giving birth cute kids hahaha. She always joking like “Hmm what if I request something to you. Can I?”, “Oh yes please, what do you want?”, “Give me cute grandson and granddaughter who have blue eyes” hahahahha *itu juga gue mau hahaha*

She did everything to me, for me, for us. Things I really want to do for her is make her happy. That’s all.

I cursed some people who hurt her. And she said “No, no need to curse them. Just prove them that you can do better than them, don’t think and listen about them. They are doing this because they are jealous to us. That’s all. No need to hate people”

Yes… that’s true. Absolutely true. I just feel like she is so wise.

I don’t mind you hurt me, because so far, for 24 years, I only getting hurt twice. That means I will feel hurt when you hurt me. but when you hurt mama, you gonna hurt me too!

Don’t ever dare to touch my mom otherwise I will give you something “sweet” as a revenge :)

If you ask me about my dreams, one of my dream is becoming a woman like mama. She is a role model for me as a wife and mother. Best one for me

All of this things I do and I have now, all because of her. Kalau ada yang Tanya apa rahasianya, doa ibu tentunya. Itu adalah doa paling sweet paling mujarab, paling everything. Doa ibu untuk anak-anaknya.Seorang yang selalu sabar dalam hal apapun. Mamaku emang sabar banget biarpun pas kecil aku sering dicubit, dipukul tapi aku sadar itu adalah cara didiknya yg membuatku jadi pribadi yang tahan banting dan kuat mental. She is my mama. Thank you for all things you did for me. Love you always mama :)

*mama kemarin kirim foto masa kecilku disertai narasi unyu sebelum aku kerja hahaaha.. that so cute.. maybe she miss me already haha*

When she was very young. Hot mum haha
And her lovely husband -- papa
Oh thats meeeeeee

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...
