Sepatu Winter Pertama

Moscow Dulu, masih sempet pakai sepatu dengan hak 5 cm waktu kerja kantoran. Ya karena harus keliatan formal aja sih, meskipun nggak ada yang ngelarang juga kalau mau sepatu sneakers pun. Toh juga waktu kerja sepatu dilepas dan pakai sendal jepit.  Tapi itu sudah lama sekali. Setelahnya, bertahun-tahun hanya punya 1 sepatu sneakers dan 1 sandal. Sendal jepit punya lah ya, kan hidup di Bali. Salah satu esensial itu. Sebenernya alesannya sederhana, bukan karena nggak mau punya sepatu lebih dari satu tapi lebih ke males harus nyocokin sepatu lagi ke kaki yang belum tentu enak dipakainya.  Sepatu itu adalah hal esensial yang buat gw nggak apa mahal yang penting nyaman. Karena taruhannya di pijakan, dan itu bisa berdampak ke banyak hal kalau salah pilih sepatu. Jalan kaki adalah bagian besar dari hidup gw, jadi punya sepatu nyaman adalah hal yang tidak bisa dinego.  Nah, meskipun gw beberapa kali pernah jalan-jalan saat musim dingin, Moskow ini agak beda. Kalau di Belanda, mes...

Biggest achievement

One of my friend in whatsapp group (frontsummer group) want to apply for a job. She have to answer a question about achievement.

“Please describe one of your biggest achievement and how does it shapes you?”

She shared it with us and got some responds from us.

One of my friend who studying in Liverpool now said that her biggest achievement was graduated on time (4 years in under graduated program). She told the LPDP interviewers like that. Maybe because of this she passed the interview and studying in England now.

Then I said, my biggest achievement now is my mum bless us to go further in this relationship *which is mean she let us to make a further plan. She wasn’t let us before. But since we insist and try to convince her that we both serious sooo something changed and she let us now*. This is one of my biggest achievement.

Another friend said, “My best achievement is working in Jakarta”. He is working in Surabaya anyway. Then I said, “Hey.. that is your dream, you never work in Jakarta. It still your dream to work there, since your girl stay there”. Seems there was misconception about dream and achievement for him because he is so eager to work in Jakarta so he can date his girl everyday haha

While my friend still confuse thinking about what was her biggest achievement. I told her, biggest achievement is always depend on your heart. You may think that my achievement isn’t great at all, but for me it is. Biggest doesn’t always mean people see what you achieve like maybe you could be a president for Indonesia or become a wife of Great Britain Prince or another thing but biggest achievement in your life, that’s only you who know it. Because you feel it.

Oh yeah, another biggest achievement of mine is : knowing my students said “Ah… Okay I understand now what does it mean” after explain them, that also be the biggest of mine. Could share them my knowledge, and make them get what I mean.

So never compare your biggest achievement with another people achievement. Biggest for you doesn’t mean biggest for others, and vice versa.

Have a good weekend with beloved ones :)

Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely is the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite sp...

Dapet Visa UAE (Dubai) Gampang Banget

Dubai creek Beberapa waktu yang lalu, kita pusing berat karena suami gw dapet libur kali ini cuman 10 hari. 10 hari dari yang biasanya 14 hari. Akhrinya diputuskan untuk tetap mengambil libur tapi nggak ke Indonesia.  Ternyata, beberapa hari kemudian, dia bilang, kalau liburnya malah jadi 7-8 hari aja. Mau ga mau saya yang harus terbang mendekatinya. Udah milih-milih negara mana yang harganya rasional, yang ga banyak makan waktu buat terbangnya dia dan tentunya ga ribet urus visa buat pemegang paspor hijau yang ga sesakti paspornya dia. Pilihan jatuh ke Dubai. Pemegang paspor hijau harus bikin visa, ya pusing lagi deh cara bikin visa Dubai nih gimana. Apa iya sesusah bikin visa schengen, visa US, visa lainnya. Dari persyaratan sih standar ya, termasuk  record  bank account selama 3 bulan. Gw belum pernah bikin visa Dubai sebelumnya ya, apalagi H yang paspornya super sakti kemana-mana (hampir) ga perlu visa, dia ga pernah ada pengalaman bikin visa kecuali  Visa Sosial...
