Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite spot ...

[Piknik] Tradisional ditengah modern : Desa Sade



First destination after attending the wedding was Sade village. Desa ini semacem desa adat suku sasak asli begitu. Letaknya nggak jauh dari Bandara, sekitar 30 menit aja. Jadi ibarat kata nih, kalo nggak ke destinasi wisata laennya selama di Lombok gapapa deh yang penting harus ke desa ini. Kita kesana kan bareng sodaranya si suaminya Prisca ini, mereka sih lebih ke pantai aja, kalo aku mah ngotot ke desa ini pokoknya. Gatau sih, suka aja sama yang berbau tradisional dan asli gitu. Mumpung kan keluar Jawa, wajib liat yang asli-asli. 






Berangkatlah kita dari Selong, menuju bandara terlebih dahulu. Harus nganterin si sodara-sodara balik ke Jawa dulu, sisanya yang masih terbang jam sore ya jalan-jalan dulu. Cus lah kita ke desa sade. Ini desa masuk iklan btw yang bikin salah paham si Prisca. Dikiranya aku tau desa ini dari iklan, padahal aku udah tau dari jaman SD. Ilmu sosialku melekat banget deh kalo soal adat dan tradisional begini. 


 
Satu jam dari Selong, nggak begitu jauh. Tapi karena cukup pagi berangkatnya, ya kita dijalan merem semua. Setengah jam dari bandara menuju desa ini, kita datang sekitar jam setengah 8. Masih sepiiiiii banget. Seger. Adem. Masih banyak juga yang masih tutup. Jadi rumah mereka masih nggak buka, tenunan sih masih tetep dipajang, tapi nggak liat satupun yang nenun. Agak kuciwa sih. Eh beberapa menit kemudian ada orang yang nenun karena ada yang pengen tau, nimbrung juga akhirnya. Yaaa sekiranya cukup lah buat ambil foto sama videonya. 



Sayangnya ya karena masih banyak yang aktifitas dirumah macam cuci baju, masak, jadinya nggak bisa ngobrol nanya-nanya banyak hal ke mereka. Tapi ada tv kok, pas lewat denger upin ipin tayang hahaha. Trus kita telusuri aja deh itu, eh ketemu rombongan yang laen lagi. Disitu ada orang yang nunjukin isi rumahnya. Rumah asli desa Sade. Pernah liat di tv nggak? Harusnya pernah, dulu pas jamannya acara jalan-jalan itu sering nampilin desa ini. Dan pas dibuka seketika zzzzzzzzzz, bau eek kebo. Nggak bau buanget sih, tapi bau emang hahaha. Karena, saya inget itu lantai dibersihinnya pake eek kebo emang. Jadi ya bau dikit-dikit lah hoho.Nggak ambil fotonya karena gelap dan banyak anak kecil yang pengen selfie. Dimaklumin aja deh ya, masih anak kecil.

 






Oiya kita sempet beli kain tenunnya sih. Nggak tau itu emang harganya segitu apa gimana ya, yang jelas satu kain buat bawahan plus selendangnya bisa kita tawar 200ribu aja. Murah kan? Konon lebih murah dari desa Sukarare. Sempet juga beli pernak Pernik di sana, buat bawaan anak-anak kecil dirumah. Ya mereka kan doyan yang lucu-lucu ya. Ada yang 5ribuan, 20ribuan, dan ada yang masih bisa ditawar. Harga ikat kepala Lombok ditawarin 50ribu per pc, tapi setelah ditawar juga bisa jadi harga setengahnya. Beda ya kalo oleh-olehnya udah masuk toko. Harganya jadi 50ribu. 




Penjual yang kita datangi bilang ‘nggak apa-apa mbak kalo disini budayanya harus di tawar, kita malah seneng sekali kalau mbak mau nawar disini’. Lahhh manis amat ya hahaha. Akhirnya yang nawar siapa saudara-saudara???? Candra! Suaminya another Prisca ini lebih sadiiisssss kalo nawar. Katanya bilang gini ‘tawar aja Pris, setengahnya lebih kalo tawar’. Alaamaakkk. Gapapa sih jadi dia yang nawarin hahaha


Seru aja sih, to be finally here. Mengunjungi tempat kecil dan asli ini. Btw, meskipun ini tempat kita sebut desa adat dan  masih asli, tapi didepannya ada minimarket lhooooo. Ya kan depannya bukan daerah adat lagi hoho. Eh satu lagi, ada masjid didalem desa ini. Masjidnya lucu banget. Adem gitu keliatannya. Dan dan dan banyak anjing berkeliaran. Anjing liar, bukan anjing pudel yang lucu nggemesin gitu. 


ini masjidnya lho




Was so happy that day, have you been there?

Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

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, ...
