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...

Cat and fish

I have pets at home. Cat and fish. Seems they are enemies ever. Oh no.. but no.. my cat is cute one. His name is Miki. He is so adorable. He came here when he was 3months. My neighbor came and asked us to take care of him. Ahhh he was so adorable really. He never go out of house. Funny things he always do, he never get along with another cat. He scare of almost everything like rats, fish, even cats. He only get along with Cimi. No one else, nothing else, just Cimi. Miki and Cimi. Biarpun Miki dimasukin tas plastik sama Cimi juga dia nggak bakal berontak. Super nurut deh sama Cimi. Heran deh, berasa Miki itu di pelet sama Cimi. Apapun yang terjadi, Miki slalu nurut Cimi. That's it.

 
mumpung lagi baik hati, Miki mau digendong lainnya.

lagi santai Miki dan lagi males. nggak beda jauh dari keset sih

Nah, piaraan lainnya itu ikan. Dulunya piara ikan 5, cuman 5, tapi setiap ditambah jumlah ikannya eh malah mati. Akhirnya ya dibiarin lima itu aja deh. Dari keciiiillll banget sampai mereka sudah gede-gede. Ada mungkin lebih dari 2 tahun umur mereka. Dulunya kecil banget, sekarang ternyata bisa gede. nah ada satu yang lucu. Dia berenangnya kebalik. apapun yang terjadi dia pasti kebalik. Kekenyangan kali ya. Semua orang yang melihat ikan ini pasti ngerasa ikan ini mati, padahal nggak. dia cuman ekspresif aja cara renangnya. dan kalau dipegang perutnya, dia malah deketin dan berlagak seperti kucing yang dielus-elus.


 selalu berenang kebalik gini kayak ikan kembung. kalo dipegang perutnya, baru dia balik badan. lucu deh ini ikan. Ini hanya atraksi.


 bisa dilihat ya ikan lainnya berenang "normal" sedangkan si ikan satu itu kebalik sendiri

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

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...

Tiga bulan pertama hidup di luar Indonesia

Gw kira rasanya akan sama aja. Ada rasa kangen ya wajar karena jauh dari tempat yang selama ini kita sebut familiar. Tapi ternyata ada rasa rindu yang pukulannya berbeda.  Di kasus gw, gw cuma kenal satu orang Indonesia. Beliau bilang kalau mau temen jalan-jalan bisa lah berkabar biar jalan bareng. Tapi karena gw ada kerja dari senin-jumat, sedangkan beliau nggak, jadinya waktu kami seringkali nggak pas. Sedangkan di akhir pekan, gw habiskan bersama suami.  Bulan pertama masih terasa integrasi. Berusaha mengenal supermarket mana yang jual apa. Cari ini itu di mana. Menghafal jalur transportasi umum. Mengenal, membaca dan memahami nama daerah atau tempat dari huruf cyrilic-nya untuk sekedar "kalau nyasar, bisa kasih tau suami lagi ada di mana" karena seringkali online maps dihambat pemerintah.  Bulan kedua sudah mulai mengenal banyak hal. Sudah punya kartu atm untuk pembayaran. Visa panjang juga sudah di tangan. Mulai berhati-hati dengan banyak hal, mana yang boleh mana ya...
