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...

Kapan Nikah?



Sebentar lagi lebaran dan kumpul sama keluarga besar. Buat yang masih single, jangan lupa siapkan jawaban atas pertanyaan ‘KAPAN NIKAH?’. Saya udah siapin jawaban itu dari bertahun-tahun yang lalu hahahha...

karena ini adalah pertanyaan sadis dan membunuh bagi para jomblo/single/ yang statusnya belum taken by their partner.


That question always there since I was maybe 20 or 22. These people are really love to ask "When will you get married?", anytime anywhere. They start to ask this magical words. At first when they start to ask me this question, I thought like "Oh wow, is it the time for me to have this question? Ah maybe ". but yes, since that time, when I meet family or relatives even friends they will always ask "when you will get married?". dudududuuuu lalallalaaaaa... my answer always be like "NEXT YEAR". Actually I dont really understand why I told them next year, but that is better I guess than give them "I dont know" answer.

yea, Eid will come shortly. We will gather around with relatives and family. And I am ready for that question (again). after their question is answered with the same answer every time, they will ask again "You are not single right?". No no I am in relationship now, then they will say "get married then!". I will tell them like 'there are a lot to arrange and manage before married'. and they will easily say "that's not a difficult part". I have no idea why people love to ask other people to get married. Will you become our sponsor to have the wedding party??? hahahha

Sometimes I only tell them "Just be patient for the invitation next year", then I leave them. Hemmm they might not thinks that getting married isn't easy. The only thing the know is 'you have to be married soon and invite me, then if something goes wrong with your party we will talk about it behind you'. Diiihhh sebel dehhh, udah maksa, masih juga diomongin dibelakang.

Getting married isn't easy, especially for mixed couple. Oh yes, there are a lot to prepare for mixed couple. but they never know about that. never know. they only know that 'you must be outstanding on your wedding'. mboookkk tulung.

Yes, I almost 25. They will thinks that I have to be married soon. Hmmm hello... I am still happy like this, and I am still preparing for that. I only want to be married once. with someone only. That is why I don't want to rush. and yea the question about 'KAPAN NIKAH?' is kinda annoying lho saudara-saudara. untungnya pas ndak patah hati pas ditanya.

Anyway, I just wish that kind of question will be something like a wish that I will get married soon and maybe next year. But I wont invite too many people. I only invite those who are close to me or the precious ones.

Semoga berkah


for Frontsummer, I will invite you all but the invitation will be written in my blog, since I know that you all will come when you have time but I don't want to spend money to invite you using that kind of invitation letter :P

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...
