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...

Parkir tiga dua ribu

Berbicara soal parkir memarkir, indonesia masih menganut sistem tradisional dalam memarkir. Maksudnya harus membayar langsung setelah meninggalkan lokasi (atau sebaliknya). Jadi bukan menganut asas pakai karcis parkir elektronik dengan sistem bayar pun elektronik (apa sih itu namanya pokoknya itu lah, bukan manual ya).

Soal harga, tergantung jenis kendaraan. Motor biasanya seribu rupiah tapi kalau nyebrang dibiarin, kalau bayar dua ribu pas nyebrang dibantuin. jasa tergantung jumlah fee yang berikan biarpun beda cuman seribu aja. Kalau mobil umumnya 3-5ribu. Hal itu juga sejajar di mall, motor dibandrol harga 2,500 atau 3,000 rupiah sedangkan mobil 2 kali lipat harga parkir motor.

Nah pagi tadi saya mengunjungi pusat grosir yang ada di Surabaya, ketika akan parkir, kami memutuskan untuk berhenti dilantai 2 karena memang tidak melihat adanya parkiran mobil, hanya melihat sekilas tempat sempit untuk parkir. Waktu kami bertanya ke satpamnya beliau mengatakan "boleh pak disini, tapi bayar 32ribu. Kalau nggak mau ya harus ke lantai 5 atau 6, disana free tempatnya". Gue cuman "wow, gila aja, bisa buat beli nasi goreng depan kosan 3 porsi tuh". Karena mempertimbangkan barang belanjaan yang bakalan banyak, akhirnya kami mengambil parkir 32ribu itu. Untungnya nggak salah parkir. Dilantai 2 itu memang lantai tujuan barang yang mau kami beli.

Setelah menemani belanja, karena berangkat belum sarapan, kondisi pusing dan semakin pusing melihat orang, akhirnya saya keluar ke parkiran dan menunggu disana. Mata saya melihat sekeliling dan menemukan satu papan bertuliskan "dilarang parkir kecuali mobil box". Saya jujur cuman melongo aja sih, kami memang tau ada yang tidak lurus disini tapi gitu ya diambil aja tadi ya haha. Yang jadi pertanyaan saya, kok edan ya, parkiran bisa 32 ribu lho, hampir setara parkir valet di hotel bintang 5 lho. Padahal ini cuman grosiran. Tapi grosirannya juga gede kali.

Cuman mikir aja, ini resmi apa oknum ya? Karena dibawah kita sudah bayar 5ribu, harusnya ya langsung keatas parkirnya, tapi ternyata kita bisa 'beli' tempat parkir dibawah lantai 5 seharga 32 ribu. Ntahlah ya, itu yang salah siapa dan apakah bisa disebut kesalahan?? Tanyakan pada bapak-bapaknya hohoho

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...
