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, ...

Pick up Cimi



Sepulang dari sana dan memutuskan untuk makan bakso, ternyata kita mampir dulu ke sekolah adek kecil buat jemput dia. Kebetulan pas banget jam 12 siang waktunya dia pulang. Ya udah sekalian. Niat hati sih nunggu di mobil aja biar mama yang turun eh lakok dia ikutan turun. 

‘Hun, where will you go?’

‘Pick up Cimi. You don’t wanna go there?’
 
‘Hemmm terpaksa’

Bisa membayangkan gimana padetnya sekolah SD kalo jam pulang sekolah? Sepadet itu dong ya, tiba-tiba nongol bule ditengah-ditengahnya dengan girangnya manggil nama adek dari pager sekolah. Bu nyaiiiii tulunggggg…..



Aku sih nggak malu, tak biarin aja wes dia berkreasi. Tapi mama yang menanggung semuanya. Belom juga pulang udah dihantam pertanyaan ‘mantune a mbak? Ketokane sayang yo karo adek e’ (menantunya ya mbak? Keliatannya sayang ya sama adeknya).

Hemmmm biarin deh, namanya juga dia nggak pernah tau kan. Girang deh trus aku bilang ‘kamu sadar nggak sih kalo semua mata menuju kepadamu mas?’, dengan entengnya dan senyum-senyum ‘sadar’. Ya otomatis ngeliatin aku juga kan????? Wong dia berdiri deket aku. 

Ya wes lah karepmu mas pokoke kowe seneng yo aku melu seneng. 


...bersambung...

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...

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...
