Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...

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

[Piknik] Prambanan lagi

Salah satu pesona Jawa Tengah adalah Candi Prambanan. Saya sudah 3 kali berkunjung ke situs warisan dunia ini. Candi yang terletak di perbatasan Jawa Tengah dan jogja ini selalu menimbulkan kesan mistis bagi saya. Terletak tak jauh dari jalan raya, sehingga mengunjunginya pun sangat mudah. Berbeda dengan Candi Borobudur yang letaknya sangat jauh dari jalan raya besar.  Ok, menurut saya ada 3 cara menuju candi ini. Menggunakan bus transjogja, taksi, dan kendaraan pribadi. Bagi yang menggunakan transjogja, saya pernah menggunakannya berangkat dari daerah kampus UNY, daerah Depok Sleman. 1 kali transit, 2 kali berganti bus. Dengan harga transjogja yang kala itu, 2014, seharga 3500 rupiah. Tapi sampai saat ini masih sama harganya, menurut info dari teman. Lokasi shelter bis berada agak jauh dari pintu masuk lokasi candi, mungkin kira-kira 500meter sampai 1kilometer. Kalau jalan, menghabiskan waktu sekitar 15-20menit. Bisa juga naik becak untuk opsi yang lain. Lagi-lagi, jangan lupa...

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...
