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...

Write your heart

Writing is all about heart. Nobody can force you to write, unless your proffesor who always force you to write your thesis and make it done on time. Really, nobody can force you, even when you feel you dont want to write, then you cant write.

Writing is a process. Process of thinking and the realization of that process. That process never be that simple. I realise that my writings isnt as good as others. But I also realise one thing that I love to write and show people. Like I write here that this blog may be ordinary for others but extraordinary for me. What that means? My writings might be a rubbish for others, but this is a part of my life. Part of my life that seems like a rubbish for others is something precious for me.

Yes of course this is better if you have theme for your blog. Maybe concern about politics, education or else, but mine is gado-gado. You know what gado-gado is??? That means I can write what I want. This is mine and I have fully my own right to make it as I want. If somebody says "Why dont you make money from your blog?". I can make it if I want. But this blog is my journal. A journal of my life. A journal about everything I see and I feel.

I dont expect mine have thousand of viewers in each article. I dont expect that. I just write something I see, I know, I feel, that might be informative and when people blog walking on mine they can find something they want. Sometimes there are no information about some important thing unless you experienced it (like Korean test, limit of information), and people passing by there, that already make me happy that something I write could help people. If they need further information, they can leave me email of course. But if not, then I think that what I write would be enough for them.

I wrote something and it published in local newspaper few years ago. And what I got as a feedback? I got money from university, yes because I make it. It doesnt much. But the most important feedback is people write me email and says what I wrote inspire them. I cant stop smiling that time because I know people got insipired by my writing. That makes me happy. Its not all about money, but heart and you know that what you write is useful for others.

I dont expect mine to be a trusted source for your thesis, since I dont write this to be a trusted source for thesis. I could make money from my blog, but not for this blog. This blog is pure my journal. Unless someone wanna pay me to write this blog, but still under my control.

Writing isnt that easy. If you are in the mood, then you can write 6 article in a day. But if not, you only write an article in 6 days.

You responsible for what you write. If you write something wrong and people share it, then you have to be responsible for that wrong thing. Thats why I always say writing never that easy. In this crazy world, people can sue you even you dont mean to offend but they feel offended for what you write.

Just... Write what you feel, what you see, and what you think. That is yours and you have your own control for it!

Have a nice day... it is raining in Surabaya

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...

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...
